If the World Would Be Our Enemy

[Circus]

So... is the UPA's actions a secret or do I get to shoot some kid soon? :P

[VoidSun]

I have the same kind of doubt as Circus. As most of the U.P.A.´s members come from agencies that would prefer to burn a house than letting others know that it was their job one would think that I point to that direction, or acting in U.P.A. let the agent be more... "free" only hiding from what agency is s/he really?

[Chari]

Well, in all honest, the UPA us only semi-secret. The individual members all know the agencies all the others are from, but there is no need for others outside the UPA to know. Also, while the UPA doesn't tell others what they are doing, they don't actively try and hide it? After all, who would try to stop them from saving the world. If you want to try and hide what agency your character is from, that is fine, but don't expect it to fool all the others. Not only are they highly trained agents themselves, saving the world has kinda made all other allegiances take the back burner for now.

PS, all the friends character don't need to describe any of the classes or anything. What will happen is that we will most likely skip to the end of the day while the agents go do foot work and such. Something will happen to make the two parties meet after that, a little after night falls.

Hey guys! I can't post tonight due to being out of town and on a crappy computer. I will post tomorrow though! SORRY!!!

[Rincewind]

So is there a proper term for the research of the more otherworldly aspects of this world? Or should I just call them the occult?

[Chari]

Hmmm... Well, Occult works, I guess. In our world that does lead to a very speculative and negative connotation, but I suppose there it would have never taken on that baggage as it has always been accepted as true.

[Rincewind]

OOH, I just looked up a latin translation of magic and got Veneficus. Veneficology?

[Chari]

But ESP really isn't magic, so I don't know how that could work. Magic is something that is supposed to defy logic and reason, where as ESP is supposed to have its basis it scientific fact, so the two really aren't interchangeable. As I said, ESP is supposed to be more scientific than supernatural, and that's why you could research it. So I would either go with Occult or Esper Research or something to that effect than Veneficology.

[Chari]

Sorry for not posting guys, but I was trying to give some of the agents time to say something. Since that doesn't look like it will happen tonight, I'll try and post and skip ahead to after school and the actual story. So all I have to say is...

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!

If you understand the reference, you get a pat on the back.

[Rincewind]

Wasn't it a song on the Rocky Horror Picture Show?

[tomabird]

I'd really like to join this RP as I PM'd you before, but there seems to be a lot of chars already.

[Chari]

Very good, Rincewind.

Tomabird, even with all the characters, you are still more than welcome to join. Most of them are the friends, at any rate, and most of the agents haven't even posted yet.

[tomabird]

Yeah, but the problem is just that if all the agents happened to post all at the same time it'll get confusing. I'll just be a sort of "reserve" player for now, in case someone drops out of the RP, that okay?

[Circus]

I'm confused with this timewarp. It it an overall timewarp or does this only affect the students at the school to pick up the pace?

[Chari]

Well, to affect one it would have to affect both. After all, we really can't have the two groups working on different time frames. What I would imagine happening for the agents is only meeting up and starting to hit the streets, but not finding anything. Eventually (most likely after nightfall in the RP) the two groups will meet do to circumstances that I can't really talk about right now. At any rate, this skip in time was simply to avoid a great bit of monotony in getting to the actual plot line. I don't want it to die in its infancy.

[Rincewind]

Come on peoples, don't let it die.

[Circus]

I'll be honest. I'm having trouble with my posts. This is mainly because I don't know what to do next seeing how you have a specific plot outline (it's ironic because Eddie can see the future hahaha). But the setting for my next post should be at the Chrysler Building, correct? And from there we walk the streets until the agents and kids collide?

[Chari]

Well, unless you had a plan for it, I was going to have the agents and kids meet through a certain car accident. At that point some stuff will happen, and from then on the plot starts. You can have the agents be anywhere, really, but the Chrysler Building is as good as any. We could say that after meeting at 9, they all split up to search until 3 and then all met back up there.

[fumeii]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting lately. I'll whip one up as soon as possible, after I get a few matters out of the way <3

dead? :(
