@Master Attano since your char is also looking for a library ill see if i can have the messenger bump into him on the way! Three-man collab time! [/QUOTE] I'm up for a collab! I'm just waiting to see whether @Fan7asticMrFox wants to do something with the Doc before he leaves the ship. If no reply is forth coming soon then he'll definetly head towards the library Maybe the messenger could bump into him as John leaves medical. I can always do a scene with Tessa later but this city seems to be on a timer and I want to make the most of it.
Me and LTW are working on something currently but it's a little slow from my side due to work. @AnonyMouse if you let us know when you have the story ready to continue and me and LTW can perhaps alter what we are doing to make it fit. For now though we will continue with the slow collab!
It seems like everyone's interested in mingling / exploring, so I won't move on yet. (Of course, if anyone's getting sick of this, let me know. I'm very eager to hatch my next evil scheme!) By the way... ummm... is LTW gonna respond to my post or just leave me hangin?' *sadpanda*
Have a collab post in process. Haven't got any concrete plans for Sabre at the moment. Had considered him staying with any friendly group we came across (what with the fact Holdenheim isn't the friendliest place for him to return to with his debts) if such a thing occurred but the city is currently deserted. Not convinced it will stay that way so I say currently Need to look into a couple of things for my holiday so once I've done that and established how active I have the chance to be I will get back to you on plans. I will however leave my character at your mercy to drag along between the 13th-19th this month while I'm doing a Parkour event in Denmark.
Full Name: Ainsley Gravesong Gender/Age: Female/ 29 Job: Senior Airman of the Royal Air Navy, Scientific Detachment, Special Teams, Scout/Tracking/Pathfinding/Field Cartography Appearance: 5'9", with raven black hair, usually styled in a bohemian side braid that drapes over her right shoulder. She has a dark olive complexion and fierce green eyes. She has tight corded muscle without being bulky, and the small chest and large trunk indicative of lifelong athleticism. She moves purposefully, gracefully and with a smart economy of motion; almost animalistic. Personality: Comes off as a bit of a hardass, due to her almost permanent scowl, and hawkishly scrutinous gaze. Is easy enough to get along with once you get past her intimidating gaze and faint indicernible accent. ANY negative mention of her brother will result in violence. Background: Ainsley is Arcanian, born to politically active parents who believed they were on the wrong side of the war. When she was 8 years, her parents, and the dissident faction they belonged to, decided to defect to Aeternia, but their plans were discovered by loyalist politicians who feared they knew to much to leave. The loyalists alerted the Arcanian military, who responded by dispatching a squad of Inquisitors. Her parents made a mad dash for the border with her and her little brother, Samuel, where they met with an Aeternian patrol that was supposed to shepherd them to safety. But their small group came under fire by a squadron of their Inquisitor pursuers and only Ainsley and her brother survived the encounter. By scavenging garbage from patrols and from emulating the behavior of wildlife, she and her brother survived in the wilderness between Arcania and Aeternia for 8 years. One winter when Ainsley became deathly ill, she passed out from fever and woke up in a hospital where it was discovered that she and her brother had lost most of their language skills, and acted as animals. They were transferred to Winston Gravesong Memorial Asylum where, with much difficulty, and to much scientific acclaim, Ainsley learned to speak and conform to societal traditions of decency. She was relased 5 years later. Her brother was not so lucky. Having missed the window in which most children can learn language, he didn't respond to therapy and remained completely feral. He refused to eat cooked meat, properly use furniture, or wear any clothes he didn't improvise himself. Ainsley spent the next 6 years working in the woods, usually venturing out for months at a time, tracking wildlife, drawing pictures of undiscovered species, documenting behaviors, and making maps of migratory patterns to sell to wildlife biologists. Her down time was spent with her brother, trying to teach him language, with little success. She re-learned Arcanian and even Ancient Arcanian in hopes it might spark some of the basic language skills he'd had as a child, but she was no more successful than the asylum staff. Eventually, when her brother began hurting himself due to the anxiety of being caged, Ainsley broke him out, planning to leave society behind and return to the woods, but during their escape attempt Samuel killed a guard and brother and sister were both captured. At their trial the judge took sympathy on their story and sentenced Samuel to life imprisonment in the Asylum and gave Ainsley the choice to serve 20 years in prison or 20 years in service of her country. All of this information can be found in her personnel file, but the more senstive stuff can only be accessed by those with top secret access, for obvious reasons. Skills: Can speak/read Ancient Arcanian. Survival skills. Decent grappling and dagger skills. Brilliant Artist/field cartographer. Wildlife expert. Excellent Stealth/Tracking skills. Misc: Ainsley and Samuel were the names given to them by the hospital that found them. The surname 'Gravesong' was bestowed upon them by the Winston Gravesong Memorial Asylum (Named after a famous war hero who killed himself due to Shellshock aka Post-War Depression.) Ainsley lived in Hornsbury, a town 30 minutes out of Holdenheim. You may have heard tale about the discovery of feral children at the border, and their scientific contribution to the field of linguistics and language acquisition.
I have posted! Sorry its taken me so long... Been without internet and on vacation, gonna try and get back into the swing of things now tho! Also, welcome @Fluxhavok ! Always good to seen new (or returning after a long time) people around!
Good to see you Flux. Long time since the continent with Kitty and Kithik back in 2008 or so. Out of curiosity do you watch Archer, your exchange with the quartermaster reminded me a lot of a scene from it.
Just a reminder I'm heading off to Denmark now until Saturday the 19th. I've said that @Master Attano & @Keitsumah can string me along as needed in that time since I'm in the library with them. Annoyingly I took far to long getting myself there and now I'm not around properly to do anything about my presence! Happy Rping this week
Btw guys im going to start college this monday and though i do expect to get a laptop for my classes im not sure about internet, or how good an idea it would be to sneak on here until i figure everything out lol
Heads up everyone, I'm probably going to do a time skip sometime later this week or early next week. It will move us forward a few days or more. If you have any preference for how long the skip should be or what your character does in that time, PM it to me, so I can include it in the post. But, fear not, that's still a few days away. In the meantime, keep posting. I'll have a post up later today for Dorian and Integra. And I'll be around virtually all day tomorrow and Thursday for posting, collabs, or just to shoot the breeze. Holla at me, peeps.
Heya @Mike Nemesis! Long time, buddy! Hard to believe Kitty and Kithik are that old, man. Sometimes I catch myself wondering what they're up to now... prolly victims of scurvy. Hahaha, hell yeah I watch Archer! (Who Doesn't?) I know just the scene you're talking about too. Awesome show. We should do a collab when you return from Denmark. @AnonyMouse Aye aye cap'n! @Phoenix- Thanks for the welcome, Mr Moderator Sir! I'll do my best not to cause too much trouble for ya!
@Fluxhavok Yo, when Ainsley felt someone watching her, did you have someone in mind or is that an open invitation? If the latter, I may take you up on the offer.
Ok so I got back from Denmark Saturday night. I managed to keep a rough eye on the RP via my phone but didn't fancy typing up any essays on it. Had an amazing week even if I did come home with the souvenir of gaping holes in my hands thanks to ripping off calluses on railings, fun fun! Have a short piece going on in a collab then I should be a free agent again in the library which may remain that way until the time skip depending on when that happens. I fly out to Thailand tomorrow and don't expect to sit down properly whilst in Bangkok but imagine I will be a bit more reliable again come the 26th once I've settled down on the Island I will be staying at. Exciting stuff. Collab at some point sounds good @Fluxhavok. Don't know if I'd want to know what happened to our characters, Kitty was going pretty off the rails by the end. My last clear memory of Kitty was her going crazy worrying Nomio was dead and ripping some ones throat out in the water to try and steal one of his abilities to save someone. Dare say she probably wouldn't be dating material any more
I'll be out of town for a few weeks, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do any posting. @AnonyMouse If you want to do anything with my character, feel free to.
Ok I have net access and have stopped running about long enough to actually log on. If anyone wants to interact with me in the library I will probably get a response together in a day or two haha life out here is rather unpredictable though (in an awesome way)
