Bulldrek v3.0

*MooCow hurls a snowball at Flameblade from their side of the fence*

FWIW, I was going with Eli's timeline there, I really was simply trying to tie Vanessa and Grieg back in after we accelerated the timeframe way too fast there. From what I understood of his post, he saved Diane in whatever way and had remained on the ship unnoticed with her, and Eros had somehow planted a decoy on the outbound ship that everyone could chase.

Unless there's no objection...then let's keep up this project!

If I have stepped on anyone's toes yet, let me know.

Ancient - You're good, dude. I think everyone just got kinda nuts due to the confusion, on all of our parts.

Okay, so this is my deal - I'm still a bit lost. There are so many different ends of the story, and different understandings of what's going on within each of those sections, that I keep starting to try to write up my current turn regarding certain characters, but before I can get too far into it, I've already forgotten what's going on in the many other areas. It's making it difficult for me. This, possibly, could just be my own personal writing weakness, but I've spoken to others and confusion about the storyline is still evident amongst us.

So, what I'd like to ask is for Eli or Kai if they would be willing to make an out-of-turn post tying the multiple storylines into a smaller amount to make it easier for us to continue. If this is out of the question, that's totally cool, because I know y'all wanted to keep true to the rules, but I know for me, at least, it'd really help. If you'd rather keep it how we are currently, I ask then that you allow me to pass my turn. By next round, I will hopefully be of better understanding and consensual interpretation.

Sorry if I'm being a pain! Thanks, though, guys. Just lemme know.

I would be happy to make an out of turn post, I'll get working on it, and if there are no objections by tomorrow morning, I'll put it up

[edit: Alright, I lied, I just cranked out two and a half pages and Damned if I was going to have to throw it out. I hope, I hope that I haven't stepped on anyone's toes. If I have, then I will go back and edit. I have tried to stay as true as possible to everyone's interpretations and posts up until this point. All I really wanted to do was give a definite mark of here's the stuff that's happening simultaneously. So here we are, all of the events in my post have happened at the same time and we can choose where to go from there.

That being said, I think we need to be more careful readers, both of our own posts before we post them and other posts before we write our own. I know that I have missed a couple details on occasion and I know I can do better. This also means we have to be careful in our motion through time. IF it seems like some character have looseends to tie up before a future event happens (for example, Grieg and Summers still being on the Cruiser before they end up on the Mother of Skies (now a Moot point)) then maybe it's better to pass than carry on. Regardless, things have a set point now, and I think now that more characters can interact with each other we might get back on track.

Well, there it is.

Good stuff, E.

Aw, thanks AH. *wuffles*

I'll echo Ancient History here.

Good stuff, Eli.

Now, whose turn is it? Teja?

And also, we need to, perhaps, establish one more rule to ensure that we don't get too out of control at times, leaving everyone else lost, ya know?

Hmmm...

Maybe, if we slowed down a bit...hmmm...

Sweet! Thank you so much Eli. I didn't want to piss off anyone by asking for that, but I really thought it was needed. It is my turn now and I will have something up by tonight. Wait for my ding. Heh.

Okay, DING!

That would be Reika's turn!

And it would be whomever is after me now.

Hope you guys don't mind the twist I added, I couldn't resist.

Me, and very nice I must say.

(Yay for Eros having a purpose!)

In the interests of everyone involved, I've decided to also take control of Diana and start revealing the reason why everyone is after her.

Ogion, of course, is the Wizard who taught Ged the Archmage in Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea Triology. Anyone who has read those books knows what happened to Ged when he read a particular volume from Ogion's collection. I'm supplanting a part of that mythology here. Part of my reasoning is that people would have to work pretty hard to want to keep this seemingly innocent girl in custody. I figured she had some knowledge that would be immensly valuable. Or maybe she was a weapon.

Either way, I've decided she was a Wizard, the only one of her kind. On an archeolgical dig on Ea she found the old dusty tome that Ged had read such a long time ago and gained understanding of the mystical energies. Does it fit the science? No. But perhaps this is the reason why she's so popular with well, everyone. She's an Anamoly of a different sort.

If this is far too implausible, I can just make it so she's schizo I have that option. Let me know

Give me some time...

Let me also state that she's a wizard in the Earthsean sense of the word. She must know something's truename to be truly effective, and that gets more difficult as she remains away from Ea where this type of magic originated. Though not impossible because some truenames remain the same wherever you go. She doesn't, however, necessarily know this yet.

Sounds good to me In case it wasn't terribly clear, Pantheon is a sort of a cross between Bab5 PsiCops and the Order's elite Esper guard. I have more plans for Eros and Esper history, but I can write that in later I think

Eli - Is all cool, it's no worse than my making humanoid spiders that all have the "sameness" of features.

And actually, that fits in quite nicely what I had in mind for the Arachnae.

Ding Dong!

Kai, then you'd best talk to me...regarding Espers, because at the moment, I'm just delving into the effect of Gas Belt on Espers, and how Espers use the Gas Belt to their advantage, especially on Mother of Skies.

Oh just go with it, I can work anything in to history that you feel like creating there

Tag.

[/edit] I'm gonna apoligize...my section reads pretty piss poor.

Ancient History, were Joe and Mia ramming the Mother of the Skies, or were they ramming the one that Eros, Grieg and the Spider on? Am slightly confused.

I don't know. I couldn't tell which ship got hit be the EMP bomb. So I aimed it at the bastards that orderd them to surrender. They had the iron triangle DeusExMachina, right?

Read my post above in conjunction with Ancient History's post. It should be quite clear that that ship with Spark and Mind Blind is ramming Mother of the Skies at the moment...

EMP bomb hit Mother of the Skies, by the way...at least I think. I'm too tired to think. I'm too pissed to think. I'm too everything to think.

My apologies if I came off with a pissy fit. I assure that you guys have nothing do with it. I'm just in not that great mood at the time thanks to a class.

UNO!

Oh wait. Wrong game...

DING!

I can't really formulate any thoughts on what I want to do, so I'm going to pass.

Kai go! WHEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Why yes, I am off in my own little world, why do you ask? :7

Ding

Want to post, trying to work on a post. If anyone wants to continue the Mother of Skies half of the show, then go ahead, I don't see as any of that conflicting with what I have planned.

I'll see what I can do about Mother of the Skies storyline tomorrow morning, in conjunction with my weekly creative writing exercise...

and so it came few days later. I took LONG time to think about it, and all consequences, etc, and I was being careful in trying to keep a lot of open ends out there for you all to play with.

Ancient History, it's your turn to continue this plot line.

And I just spoke to Eli. He said that he's having too much going on.

So as for Eli. "Pass"

Okay. I might have taken too many liberties. Flame, I really hope I came across as impartial rather than a game of one-up-manship 'twixt Joe and Jacque. I left some room for him to survive.

It's good to have both gone because it may come to a stalemate in essence and we kinda have Lloyd and Mia left. And this could be fun.

So many different directions we could go with Lloyd and Mia.

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm going to withdraw from the writing project (don't worry, I'm doing the same with the other). I haven't been very creative lately, and have lacked the whole "plays well with others" attitude that's needed for a project like this. Please feel free to continue to use my char in the story if you like.

So the list is now this (for reference.)

Kai
Eli
Flame
AH
Teja

And one open slot. First reply takes it.

Next.

Until further notice, I'm passing. I have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it in. Have fun guys, I'll be back soon enough.

Okay Flame, tis you again, as Eli is passing, and we don't seem to be connected with you quite yet anyways

Will get around to it. Thank gawd I just finished term paper and stuff like that. And also, it appears that Ancient History is taking a short haitu from internet. Soon as I'm done, I'll attempt to contact him, then if I haven't heard anything from him, then I'll give a go-ahead to you guys.

*Ding, and I can't seem to find Ancient History's e-mail...

Flame: It's JOE, not Jon.

And can I go next? I'm ready now.

Please do, I really would rather not figure out how Greig and Eros and company get to everyone else all by my lonesome

Eli: I know it's Joe, but somehow, I keep thinking Jon...sorry.

I'm trying to figure out who would go next...considering that we skipped Kai and Teja.

Nah, we're just a tad out of order. AH, then Teja, then back to me, Eli, and then you

Considering how recently AH posted. It's Teja's turn.
