Tiiiiiiiiide. We need more Firefly quotes in this OOC. I'm leaving that up to you.

That won't be a problem, I aim to misbehave :)

[High Casual] Frontier: The Great Space Rebellion

I'm starting to feel really sorry for Tide on this ship... I've lost track of who's sudden but inevitable betrayal he's going to be cursing :)

[High Casual] Frontier: The Great Space Rebellion

Another tiny little post, just to get Tide outside with everyone else :)

[High Casual] Frontier: The Great Space Rebellion

Tide carefully made his way back to the table, gingerly holding a steaming styrofoam cup in one hand, and balancing two thick bacon sandwiches on a small paper plate in the other. Putting the plate and cup down on the table next to Thomas, he sat down heavily in an empty chair. "Hey, Cap," he said, picking up one of the sandwiches with both hands and taking a huge bite out of it. "Looks like we're shipping out, should we be worried about those empty bunks?"

Still chewing on a mouthful of food, Tide hauled his backpack up onto the table, nearly knocking his coffee over in the process, and busied himself checking over the straps and buckles. Once he was happy that everything was secure, he stood up again, slinging the pack over his shoulder. "I'm going to go take at look at this ship then, see y'all out there."

He retrieved his coffee and the plate of food, his half-eaten sandwich balanced on top of the other, and made his way out of the cafeteria in the same direction the others had taken. Once outside, he stopped to look up through the rain at the Medusa, but quickly hurried on, trying unsuccessfully to keep the water out of his cup and off the food. He hurried forwards, head down, until he reached the relative shelter of the cargo ramp.

"Here you go," he said, handing the plate to Risty, retrieving the remains of his own breakfast in the process. "Make the most of it, I'm guessing it's gonna be foilpacks from here on out."

Ugh, hope it's nothing too nasty? You could always use some voice recognition software... that always works out well :)

Devan Tide

Tide watched the new arrival with a look of wide eyed bemusement. He hooked his foot around the leg of an empty chair, and pulled it out from under the table, the metal legs scraping against the tiled floor with a nerve-shredding screech. "Here, sit down before you fall down," he said, a mixture of concern and amusement on his face, before turning to Erik.

"Explosives, eh?" He took the half-smoked cigarette out of his mouth, and crushed it against the tabletop with one hand, idly scratching his unshaven chin with the other. "I'm starting to wonder what sort of a job I've gone and signed myself up for here!" His laugh was somewhat hollow; this was one damned strange crew he'd joined, and Tide wasn't entirely sure he shouldn't just get up and walk away now.

Of course, he knew he wouldn't. Whatever the job was, if it needed this bunch of misfits to pull it off, he figured it had to pay well. Either that, or at least offer some fun and interesting ways to end up dead. He stood up, pushing his chair backwards across the floor with another ear-piercing screech. "Gonna get something to eat," he said, setting off across the cafeteria in search of coffee and something greasy. Preferably something involving large quantities of bacon.

Oh yeah, I'll probably be making a lore page later for information about the different planets and locations out in space. Everyone will be welcome to add to it once it's made.

BTW, I updated Tide's piccy, and included the ice mining station where he grew up in the background. Not sure how many of my scribblings will actually make it into his bio when it's finished, but as long as there's a suitable frozen ball of rock out in the deep colonies that he can hail from, I'll change 'Arkadia, Theta-019' to something more fitting with the lore.

Considering making up character foils for the entire crew who are all on an enemy UNES ship called 'Perseus'. Reoccuring characters, DM controlled of course. Just cheesy enough for a sci-fi like this! Anyone got any opinions?

That sounds like a great idea - would be good to have someone(s) we can all love to hate, instead of a faceless mass of mobs to kill.

PS. Co-captain Val... shouldn't that be First Officer Val? ;)

<-- UK too... does that mean we can say trousers instead of pants, and spell words properly? :)
