Topic Tags:

Forum for completely Out of Character (OOC) discussion, based around whatever is happening In Character (IC). Discuss plans, storylines, and events; Recruit for your roleplaying game, or find a GM for your playergroup.
Actually, it's a bit harder than that. Since it's a guided weapon, you need to allow the computer to get a lock on whatever you're shooting at. Then, you need to make sure there's nothing behind you. If there is a wall or similar thing, like a dumpster, behind you, the back blast from the launch tube could rebound and kill you. If there is anyone standing behind you, they could get fried in the same back blast.

Aleks did explain that to the boys since she has experience with weapons. She's old school so she uses a lot of pre-nuclear blast weapons because she doesn't trust anything new. When they bring in the new stuff then she'll be a little out of her league but for now I'm happy that she can explain things to people. It makes her useful.

And yes, Kungfu is right in what was quoted. Aleks remarks that snipers usually work in teams, specifically the man she spotted. His partner however wasn't anywhere she could see. His name was Quin. Now I don't mind someone else playing this NPC but he's a smart one. The pair worked with Aleks so they aren't sloppy thus how Davidson saved himself from a mortal wound.

And yet he still fell off an apartment building? Correct me if I'm wrong, but falling four or more stories usually kills or paralyzes you.

So, can I assume that my edit was approved?

No, he rolled out of the way. I never said that he fell.

Aleks watched as Davidson tumbled, his head being thrown back while his body then rolled over.

And by tumbling I mean rolling, tucking and somersaulting (gymnastics terms)
The guy was shot but not mortally. We'll get more from him in my next post. We just have to wait for Sonata's next move since it's been a week since anything new was put in character.

Hiydee-ho everyone. I hope your excitement hasn't calmed at the speed of this RP. I find its leisure beneficial for those who are in many RPs or are very busy with college or another type of school IRL.

All right, I'm about to post the next post for IC. Here's how the new outline goes.

1. Two vehicles now. Hummer and a truck. The truck can only hold up to four people. Two in the front and two behind the seats. I don't think anyone would jump in the bed of it, but its possible just very dangerous.

2. Blockades are clear.

3. We have ourselves a chopper enemy. :D

4. The army is here. WOO! Army of one, sons!

So decide where you want to go. The truck or the hummer. Decide who is going to drive. First post, first receive for the hummer. Slyvia may be driving the truck if she has the nerves to. The hummer can hold more people, so don't worry about space. Each vehicle is carrying weapons somewhere. Either under the seat or for the truck circumstance, in the bed of it.

I think that Aleks could drive the truck. Thanks for the update Sonata.
Now, if Aleks is driving then she'll be following the hummer right? After moving it out of the way.

Other questions:
Are we, now, completely out of rockets?
What kind of weapons are stocked under the seats etc. in the vehicles?

And here I'm actually wondering why Aleks would drive the truck since... Sylvia is already in the driver's seat. .__."

O, wait. I totally did not see that post before Sonata's. (I haven't been online to check the in character thread lately) Sorry Lunar. I'll delete my post.
I guess we need to figure something out when it comes to who will be driving.

lol There goes my edit slip up. I'll edit it.

(Edit: I made it difficult that we have one rocket launcher. So you have weapons and I just said weapons because that's another hint for you to be "creative.")

Just one thing, in the end of my post, I noted that an APC had rolled into one end of the alley. What's up with the APC, and the "two rockets" weren't from the rocket launcher that was on site right?

I'm gonna be a dumbass and jump in the back of the truck. If it's all right, can my character be wearing body armor from before?

Oh yeah, and one more thing. "Chain-rounds"??? Do you mean rounds from a chaingun? If so, then it would be more like cannon shells, because the only helicopter that comes to mind right now that carries a chaingun is an AH-64 Apache which uses a Hughes M230 30mm chaingun. (Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M230_Chain_Gun and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AH-64_Apache)

Right, so unless someone comes along and drags her out of the truck or something, Sylv will be driving. I'll give people a chance to jump in before I make my post.

Well, I won't be able to make a post until tonight, gotta finish homework, so just don't drive to fast. I'll run along side and jump in, or cut through some side streets and catch up.

I don't think anyone has claimed it yet, so I guess I'll drive the Hummer.

@ chungfu: Er, I really don't see why that would affect anything since it's not like I'll be posting anytime soon... And I really don't think I'll be driving slow with an army and a chopper after us. Unless for some odd, spontaneous reason I feel like dooming everyone on the truck to a horrible death, provided that Sonata would actually allow me to make that sort of post.

Yeah, today's not a very good day for me, so if I seem rude and/or pushy and such, I apologize beforehand.

Right, I thought you were going to post in a timeframe of the next few hours, so ok. And like, driving through a city in a truck after a massive security alert with guns in the truck isn't already a red flag. I'd recommend driving slowly through alleys with lights off.

thx

Edit: never mind, I reread it and I understand what's happening now. D:

BTW Cael's reaction is stellar :) I was hoping he'd gross out a little when Sev removed his chip since it was such a big ordeal for him.

Probably that information about the APC was ignored because you do not place the pieces on the board, I do.

Ok... So I can't say an APC appeared... But what about the helicopter. Any information on the type, model, weapons, speed, range? That's all important to taking it down, escaping it, or fighting it in any way.

What you always ask for is irrelevant. The type of helicopter is not important for I will be NPCing it throughout the whole Break Out. The copter goes down when I say it goes down. But if the characters do nothing, then it won't be going down anytime soon. To ask all that information is to make the RP more complex than what it really is, and that's not what I'm asking from anyone. Especially, when the model and type won't matter.

So consider the helicopter a boss that has entered a video game and good luck. It is the boss of this chapter.
