Lol Im glad that we're not even far in the roleplay and there's already an inside joke brewing.

Beautiful.

Anyways,
Are you guys okay with how everything is going so far? When I used to roleplay more I was a super off-hand GM. Probably a mix of my preferences and the community I was in, so I'd love to hear what you think I could improve in as a GM or for this roleplay specifically.

Maybe a little awkward to ask. Sorry, not sorry.

[Crichton]

I think you've been doing very well. You move the plot forward, you take charge when we're moving slowly and you don't mind us getting weird in the OOC. I do prefer GMs that actively participate in the RP and with the players– in my experience, putting on the role of the omniscient, distant narrator doesn't really work when you're dealing with real people.

*cough*

So I'm back from the dead, apparently. Sorry about disappearing unnoticed. Work's been eating up my time and any energy remaining was better spent elsewhere that didn't involve too much thinking. I'm currently catching up on posts and trying to write an apology letter one for Annika.

[Alastairim]

No worries! Nice to see you around again, Byte :)

[Byte]

Oh look, a post. How delightful. Ahem...

It's good to know Annika's gonna be a lot of help if this thing turns out to be our first hostile encounter. That is to say, she's the very best at ducking behind cover and letting everyone else do the hard work.

Go team.

[VindicatedPurpose]

Today was really busy, but anyway I posted.

Welcome back Byte, we missed you.

@Alastair

For the most part you've been swell. But let's kill some baddies soon. Or maybe have something from like Alien or Prometheus. Marvelous, darling, you are doing absolutely marvelous.

[Alastairim]

I'll wait for crichton's post. I know they've been busy lately so it may be another day. Or Brax.

So, friends, fight the squid monster or flee? Your choice.
Either way, after it we're gonna go into the cave we just found at the rock cover and maybe, possibly, find a haunted cave.

[Crichton]

Hoping to have a post up tonight babes, sorry I'm late! And I can say right now that Nico will choose to flee, if that is a choice.

Haunted cave?! I love those.

[VindicatedPurpose]

Ha. I forgot that Nico had placed sentimental value on what Mal considered to be expendable.

I can tell they are going to be swell friends.

Mal will be probably be ready to go until he realizes that he's unarmed.


Mal - I uh forgot something in engineering.

Asimov - Hi.

[Byte]

Is it too late to assign Asimov as our official welcoming committee?

[Alastairim]

Truth be told, I hadn't meant for the tentacles to come from the cave but I like the idea so we're rolling with it! Are those sounds a squid or a ghost? dun dun dunning ~

(Note, this is sic-fi so no ghosts shall exist buuuut, you know the drill. Gotta explain the scary phenomenons some how) :D

[Crichton]

Ghost Squid, a new horror movie from Asylum.

[Alastairim]

...sounds more like a porno, lmao.

[Crichton]

I was imagining something more like this.

[Alastairim]

lmao beautiful.

[VindicatedPurpose]

I was joking about sci-fI horror.

We don't have enough characters to drag out the slow killing.

[Crichton]

Meanwhile in the ship, a group of NPCs wearing red shirts check their watches, wondering where the rest of the crew has gone.


Asimov - Hi.

[VindicatedPurpose]

Oh it's me, I'll get a post up tomorrow night.

EDIT (08/25/16):

Yah so I missed my imposed deadline, but that's only because I forgot to post it the night I finished writing.

But anyway, instead of double posting, I decided to edit this. This bird is going to be out for a week starting next Monday. So don't expect any posts from me then.

[Crichton]

I'm hoping to get a post up this evening, and I'll be quite busy next week as well. Actually, I'll be quite busy until the 16th of September but next week will be like, double busy.

[Byte]

I'm planning to get a post up tomorrow, or otherwise sometime this week at least. Uni's just started and already managed to throw heaps of work on my lap, so I'll have to plan ahead for that.
