My sister-in-law commented on how pasty white I was, so I said I would get some color today.
Boy did I.

I went to the pool, slathered on sunblock, and swam, and swam, and swam.
I baked my upper back, neck, and shoulders.
Ouch.

Came home, complete with nasty sunburn. I tied up any loose ends on my end regarding Mewtwo's side of the story.
Now, I can start my laundry...

« on: June 26, 2013, 04:05:29 AM »Taking in a large breath of air after that tense moment, Dr. Wily II stared at the wound on Mewtwo's arm. "When we get out of this alive, we'll take care of that, and have a nice looooooooooong rest."
(Might as well try a random character...)
Back at the Team Rocket complex, alarms have been blaring. Not only was the altered Alakazam completely compromised, but words out that even the fabled experiment Mewtwo is on the loose. So not the way the first day of work should be, thought Joe.
Joe was a new recruit, having been scouted for bullying Rattatas, with a top percentile Raticate of his own. Just within 1 hour of his initiation, he was ordered by his superior to grab a rifle from the armoury, and to shoot to kill if necessary. All Joe wanted was to show the whole that his Raticate was the best of the best! Now this!?
As Joe rushed over to the broadcasted location, just as he was about to turn the corner, he slipped, and fell face first onto the floor... That's completely covered in ice. As he struggled to get back on his feet, he saw the fabled Mewtwo, blasting the roof. "Such power..." Joe thought, only to be interrupted by a gunshot, and noticed someone had injured the Mewtwo. Joe only caught a glimpse, but saw it was their esteemed leader, Giovanni. As Mewtwo disappeared into the hole in the roof, Giovanni turned back, and saw Joe.
"WHAT ARE YOU GROVELLING THERE!? GO AND HUNT DOWN MEWTWO!!"
"Yes-s-s-sir!!!"
Joe scrambled to his feet, and rushed off to the levels above.
And there it was, the biggest sight for sore eyes since this whole thing started: The Grand Rhydon, ready for lift off. Warning lights twirled about the hanger and thick steam rolled across the floor as the blasted into the giant room. Landing to the side of the open whole, Ahrzayl wriggled out from Mewtwo's grasp and ran for it.
"Come on, guys!" She yelled back, still clutching the unconscious Froslass.
The side door was down for entry and signaled the two to hurry. Ahrzayl ran inside, turning the corners of the hall until she reached the Bridge.
"Ahr! What the hell is going on?!" Julia shrieked as she saw it was Ahrzayl coming through the opening door. "Me and Steiner saw armed troops rush down the hallways as we were getting here!"
"There's no time! We've got to get into the air NOW!" Ahrzayl yelled as she hoped into her chair and messed with the control panel.
"Well, you better give me the best explanation you have when we're in the sky." Julia grumbled as she typed on her side panel. "Opening Hangar blast doors!"
Loud clunks echoed throughout the room as dust fell from the middle of the ceiling. The giant door revieled a large tunnel with lights lining its walls signaling to go upwards. The Grand Rhydon roared to life, ready to go.
Mewtwo found a free corner and sunk to a crouch, clutching his arm. He didn't need to look at it to know what happened. Giovanni shot him; a poorly-aimed shot, but he was shot nonetheless. He looked at the floor and noted the broken trail of spattered blood, leading from the door to where he sat. Panting, Mewtwo threw his gaze to Ahrzayl. "Giovanni will be rather angry with you... However, I gather that you no longer care about what he thinks, or even about your services beneath him." He paused, squeezing the wound in his arm, and taking a moment to quiet his racing thoughts and send a message. He needed to assure someone that he was all right.
Quickie was on her way to the Pokemon Center, as she had left a number of belongings behind. The battle was over, Team Rocket was concerned with their own affairs, and Quickie was a fool to think for a moment that she could sway even the most incompetent members of the organization. She shrugged, then sighed. She had wasted her time and was right back where she started. Renewed confidence in her abilities, yes, but she was still in the same situation that she was when she started. Nothing had changed.
An image flashed into her mind with such speed that it caused her to freeze mid-step, her breath caught in her throat. After a moment, an overwhelming sense of relief flooded through her. She inhaled slowly, then turned on the ball of her foot, bringing her level gaze to Sakura. "He's alright. He's out."

Quickie took the opportunity to recall her Pokemon, put the balls in her backpack, sling it over her shoulder, and quietly back away. The battle was obviously over, so it was time for her to leave.

The sooner Mewtwo blasts his way out of Team Rocket's HQ, nukes the building from orbit (just to be sure), and wipes Giovanni's memory (again), the sooner we can get back to the fun non-plot.

« on: June 25, 2013, 08:17:30 AM »Well, I guess it's a good reason I retained Jessie, James, and Meowth's silliness to a point. In the Black and White series, they practically lose their campiness and took their assignments seriously and even accomplished a few tasks along the way.
And maybe after we get Mewtwo back, we can try and turn it back into the campy, less serious RP it was supposed to be.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind going back to the goofiness after all this. I'll need a break, anyway! I like a serious RP, but not all the damn time, hence why this is updating so fast; I'm trying to finish off the plot so we can get back to the fun.

Go for it. I was planning on name-dropping Sird and/or Carr at some point, but never got around to it.
As for the group heading to Team Rocket... Yeah, it's looking unlikely, as Mewtwo is pretty much getting out of there. However...
Plenty of opportunity to throw in some manga Rocket members to stop him!

« on: June 25, 2013, 07:06:16 AM »The problem with the Wushu RP is that with all I was thinking about for the other two RP's, I really had no idea where I wanted to go in that one. It's similar to how I write, or don't write, my GoRPM's. It's just more inspirational than anything. An idea pops into my head and bam, I write. Right now I'm out of the loop with the Poke RP because...well you people update that so damn fast and don't use my characters in anything!
Well, unless specifically told to do so, I try to avoid commandeering characters.
You're not totally at fault for the Wushu campaign. Ringman was more irritated with MCH, actually.

*Ba-dum TSSH!*
Anywho, back to RP discussions... I guess.
I admit that I will be sad if MCH leaves, as then I'd lose a Wushu player... even though I haven't been arsed lately to get that back up. Though, Ringman did have a complaint about that, and unfortunately, it involved MCH. Though, not everyone is off the hook in the Wushu campaign.
Basically, it boiled down to this: Three of those characters would be leader-types, particularly Fett and IG-88, yet any play came down to them constantly bickering, with 4-LOM and Zuckuss progressing the plot (and Zuckuss can't do that, as he's not a leader). I couldn't drive the story, as I was the DM and I wanted to leave it up to the players. Ringman couldn't drive the story, as 4-LOM simply is not a leader character. The one(s) who should have taken the lead are Fett and IG-88, and my money is mostly on Fett. IG-88 would willingly allow Fett to take the leadership position. Bossk would be too reckless to be a leader, and 4-LOM and Zuckuss... well, they're 4-LOM and Zuckuss.
Ringman expressed his frustration with players simply not grabbing hold and driving the story. This happens in his tabletop campaigns, too.
The thing is, yes one person may end up taking control of the story, as I did with the Pokemon RP, but it doesn't mean that everyone should just sit back and watch. Join in and add to it, or steer it in a new direction.
And this holds doubly true if your character is a leader archetype. You are supposed to lead.

I've been planning to change my avatar all day and just settled on this one.
Unless PB can suggest a better Mewtwo pic? Something just slightly less pissy than Mewtwo looking like he's about to bite someone's face off.
