Dorian was just a customer, but tired of owing to him. I really need to read some back stories here, make some suggestions, I don't think any have come my way.
otherwise I will just be the outsider that has a connection to a common enemy that none of you have ever met and know nothing about.
Glad to hear you're doing alright, DM. Not sure when you're starting, but I will be out of touch for a week (hopefully I can jump on a internet signal once in a while!).
Okay, I have some good news. I have a new car. :D
I'm still dealing with insurance and other things, but I should have everything settled enough to start by Wednesday evening. I apologize again for the delay. I'll be posting the info up as promised between now and then.
Annabelle: I'll GMPC you if necessary, but the first part is going to be RP heavy, You may just be a bit on the late side. ;)
Congrats on the new wheels! No need for apologies. Looking forward to it. :)
Congrats!
Glad to hear things are looking up.
Paulus, I was thinking earlier today, would your character prefer Paulus or is he okay with a shortened familiar name (Paul, Paulie, Plus, P). I imagine I would be called Zev more than likely, but as the two have a connection, I would know before we start whether Paulus does or doesn't like alternate versions of his name.

Let's go with Paul. Be all informal and whatnot. LOL
Thanks for the update. I usually have a late work night on Wednesday, so you'll probably hear from me Thurs morning.
Glad to hear everything is alright!
glad to hear Salsa.
Dorian is still lurking about.
Good news on the Salsamobile Mk II :)
Still here and ready to rock and role.
On a separate note where we all hailing from? Am conscious that being in Scotland means you'll likely see me most active around this sort of time (before stuff like work gets in the way :)
Also GMT -5. Rock!
Good work on the new car, Salsasalsasalsa! I look forward to getting this started. =)
I live in not-so-sunny South Australia, which from memory is GMT +9:30.
It's the middle of winter here. Plenty of rain, wind, some hail. Pretty horrible.

That's our summer here in Scotia ;)
Also an east coaster, GMT-5

Yeah, our summer is drought and 45 degree dry heat. That's Celsius, by the way. About 113 Fahrenheit, for those reading who aren't familiar with the system that makes sense. ;-)
I hear Scotland is beautiful, though, despite the weather.

Aye - have mates in Perth... summer is brutal in Oz... well for the lobster tanned Scot abroad lol.
Scotland is beautiful - all rolling hills, bonnie glens, incessant midgies and dour Scots :) (as speak as one heh)
Re-dotting
I've lived here all my life, and summer is brutal for me. I blame my father - being a Yorkshireman, I'm convinced he passed on his intolerance of hot weather!
My boyfriend loves the heat. I'm fairly sure he's some kind of freak.
I agree (Says the guy who grew up in the Southeastern US)
I agree. (Says the guy currently living in the Southeastern US).
I talked to a dealer (truck, for those with imaginations. LOL) in Kentucky a couple days ago. Sounded like a blend of Boston mixed with Southern twang. Kind of awful.

I totally believe it. Kentucky is a kind of crossroads for a lot of freight so you get a mix of all over. You can say my city's name (Louisville) five ways and still be concidered right. There are even t-shirts and massive signs that illustrate this fact.
I've lived in Alabama since I was three and I apparently either have no accent, or a mild one that belongs in North Dakota (Born in Minot, ND).
Paulus, where are you from?
Rhasuel, Well, the University of Kentucky is in the SEC, so I think Kentucky can claim to be in the Southeast, although ya'll are in that weird zone between the North and South.
Australia has almost no regional accent variation. Indigenous Australians sound different from settled Australians, but other than that, it's only Victorians that really sound different to the rest.
It's far from England, where you walk two blocks and the accent changes. I can pick Yorkshire, Cockney, Birmingham, and north London, but that's about it. I'm not even going to mention the only American accents I can identify, because I just know I'll offend someone >.>
Know quite a few folks and friends from the States (+ spent time in Midland TX) so know quite a few of the US accents :)
Think the English accents are tough - start throwing in Glaswegian, Aberdonian, Dundonian, West Coast, Shetland Isles... Oh mah heid! ;)
From the grand state of Mississippi. Twin States rock! LOL Originally from Southern California. Lots of difference between dry heat and the hell that we call summer here.
Bit humid, Paulus? :P It only gets humid up north here. Queensland gets it, but the Northern Territory is a hot, wet, hellscape. Down my way, it's just hot. You can't go barefoot even in the shade, your airconditioning bills skyrocket (and even that doesn't always work) and you always wait 30 seconds after opening your car door before getting in, lest you bake instantly.
Of course, that's summer. It's currently winter, so it's about four degrees Celsius. We had hail this morning. Hail.
Alright, another original west coaster. I'm from the Great Northwest (Columbia river region of Oregon). Sadly, I'm stuck on the east coast (not a fan), but at least the weather in Maryland is close to the weather back home.
As far as accent though, I've been told that there was a study done and the northwest had no discernable or imitatable regional accent.

It's actually not bad. We have beaches, like, everywhere. I hear that's kind a big thing for Americans, going on a holiday to the beach; well, I drive half an hour and I'm there. My boyfriend can just walk to the beach any time he wants. We also have kangaroos, which are both adorable and tasty as hell. And emus, which are foul-tempered, but hilarious-looking, and tasty as hell. And crocodiles, which are nasty, but tasty as hell. And witchety grubs, which are ugly as sin and tasty as hell.
And we have beer. Good beer, beer with a decent alcohol content and a great taste. Don't believe the ads, nobody here drinks Foster's. We export it because no self-respecting Australian wants to drink that piss. My local pub has stout on tap, and twelve dollar parmies, which is freaking amazing.
So really, come to Australia. It's a wonderful, beautiful place. Just, uh, don't come in the middle of summer. Or the middle of winter. Or late spring. And stay out of the deep water, and the bush, and for the love of god watch out for the spiders.
I hang in Michigan where it gets nice and cold. It's a balmy 60 degrees (F) today.
well now I see this is a bit lively..
guess I can post about me. if anyone actually reads my stuff...
live on the east coast of the US, good ole New Jersey, and no, the whole state isn't like in the Soprano's and no the women are not like the housewives of NJ.
but, the Soprano family is real (but not mafia) and I am a part of that family. ( my grandmother is Rose Soprano, her brother was Tony Soprano, and his son is father Ernesto Soprano).
And yes I have been to Atlantic City and have been there for Miss America pageants (met a couple actually) And yes the premise of Boardwalk Empire is based on true events/people.
Was lucky enough to spend some time in Oz... a long time ago now (visiting a buddy as a bright eyed 20 year old) - ignore everything El Ronza is spinning you... its exactly like Mad Max II - all bogans and desolate bush lol.
Nah seriously she's spot on about the beer... there was actually a free beer hour in one place in Perth (Coronado's if I remember)
Free feckin beer...!!!??? Took almost 40 minutes for the canny Scots to jump in figuring there must be a catch. Nope... there was'nae one - so boy did we jump in :)
Aye and the spider's are plain nasty... Mind you so is the Haggis over here ;)
If it got any more humid some days I think I'd need to start paddling my feet to get anywhere.
Alligator is good, so I imagine crocodile would be nice as well.
Been up that way a few times, Dorian/Calcedon. I don't know which is worse, our summers or your winters. I'd go with your winters.
Beer wouldn't be a good way to entice me to come somewhere, I don't drink. (2 beers, period, that's all I've had in my entire life.) And Paulus is not joking about the humidity. Walk outside and five minutes will have pouring sweat, and that's just standing in the shade.
Winters aren't too bad, but I do remember a couple of times where it was in the mid-eighties at Christmas time, then snowing the next year.
I hang in Michigan where it gets nice and cold. It's a balmy 60 degrees (F) today.
It's about the same here; I hail from Ontario, Canada... so I'm pretty used to cold weather.
I think though Paulus, I have to disagree about extreme winters being worse than extreme heat. I always figure it this way - when it's cold, just put on more clothes and bundle up, but when it's extremely hot, well, there is only so naked you can get.
That said, I had five feet of snow in my backyard this past winter and around the house, and that kinda sucks.
Incidentally Dorian, I love Boardwalk Empire now that you mention it.
I agree with you on the personal discomfort note, Elise. I'm more thinking about the general suckyness of it. When it's hot down here, I can still just go outside and get in my car and go places. Up there, I'd have to shovel out my driveway after a good snowing, then hope the roads had been cleared. Then hope that other drivers aren't retarded and know how to drive in the icy weather. Or my roof caving in because of the snow weight.
You probably get used to it...I just remember going down the Interstate as it was snowing heavy, six inches or more of snow on the ground, terrified as people were zipping past me as though it were a clear bright sunny day. LOL
So it's like Alabama, but it's when there's three snowflakes in the air that we freak out. :P

I kinda felt sorry for poor Georgia last year. After I stopped laughing.
(The city of Atlanta, Georgia, got a couple inches of snow last winter. They were paralyzed for about 3 days. Children spent the night in schools and some people were stranded on the disaster-area highways over night. It was national news.
I'll say again. A couple inches. It might have covered your shoe. )
They will cancel school over here if there's even a heavy CHANCE of snow or icy precipitation. It's crazy.
Sometimes Victoria gets a couple inches of snow in the mountains, and the whole country goes b*&!%&*. I've never seen the stuff.
