It is with regret and sadness that I'm going to step away from these boards for a while. It's a combination of many things, and the frustration with the board performance just pushed me to do what needed doing. I've got some things that are taking a higher priority in life at the moment. It's been a real pleasure gaming with you all, and hopefully life will give an opportunity to share this hobby we all love in the future...
Fort Aiko is able to swallow the bile threatening to rise in her throat, and she looks at the puking others... "First time on a blast tube"? She looks over Kris-1's shoulder as he attempts to access the data pad... Computers... (To assist) Culture "I think that's the name of that new Lashuntan resturant on Eox... but don't hold me to that".
Aiko frowns a bit before following the others into the tube... Nobody takes a young girl seriously. Well, I guess I'll have to prove my worth first.
Aiko is a bit dazed by all the danger unfolding in real life. It was one thing to escape the first time with time to plan, and scheme... and with others to help, but this... chaotic... She was on the verge of panic. "Should we split up, so they can't catch us all at once? Maybe we can come up with a rendezvous point? Or do we all go down together"? It is obvious that the young inexperienced girl is on the verge of either dashing away in a random direction at full speed, or balling up in the corner and crying. Finally a thought enters her mind. "Wait. I might know a way. I have the ability to change my appearance. I could do that, lay upon the ground as though injured by the party's passing, then, send them in the opposite direction that you all go to. If you decide to take the rat runs you can wait for me inside. If you go with the chutes, we can arrange a point to meet up later. I'd say we need to decide quickly".
Perception Aiko peaks out from her hiding place, cringing at the smell, sound, and sights of a real battle. This is so much worse than it seems in a game...it's overwhelming. She can do little but stare until she hears the mental cry to haul ass, which motivates her to do just that, running full blast to join her companions.
Aiko keeps her head down observing the scene, and hoping that she can sneak away before any authorities arrive, that might announce her return home. Perception
"Ha! Serves you right. Find you own hiding spot next time". Keeping low, Aiko rushes around the stacked crate, looking for a more secure hidey hole.
"OMG! Not you too! Everybody thinks I look like some gamer girl or something. Are you sure one of those bullets flying around didn't graze your head or something. What would a professional gamer be doing in the middle of a gang war"? Bluff "Now keep your head down, so it doesn't get blown off. This is no Video game with someone coming to bail you out".
Great. Now I remember why I left this place in the first place. Always somebody wanting what somebody else had, or getting all fracked because somebody believes differently. Aiko believes that survival is the key component to survival, so she runs up to take position behind some crates to see what plays out. She won't get involved unless some of her shipmates are endangered.
That smell. That familiar smell. How could she have forgotten that smell. Memories flooded back into Aiko's head, as the familiar, yet distant site of the docks come into focus. She hadn't seen the docks as she left years ago, as she'd been concealed in a trunk, but she'd seen them enough in her life to revel in the familiarity. Not trusting her voice, she nods at her placement in the group, and looks around for anything suspicious. Perception Her eyes quickly dart from the patron they were expecting, to the groups gathered in the station. She steps close and says under her breath. "Don't look now, but there may be trouble brewing. Those groups"... she motions with her eyes... "Are not overly fond of each other I reckon".
Aiko reviews the headlines and takes particular notice of the gamer search... Well so much for stopping into a Vid-Game center and getting in a few rounds. No need to draw attention to myself. "I've got to go to the hospital for a visit, and maybe visit with my family, but other than that I've got no particular plans... so if you want me around, I'll be available".
Aiko sits in her chair spinning slowly in circles, as she once again finishes Battlefront IXX's final battle scene on her handheld gaming device. She slowly licks the yellow remnants of the cheesyballs she's been devouring for the last hour from each long thin finger. She had been zoned out in the game since early in the day, and hadn't really paid much attention to what was going on. Finally with a cry of conquest she jumps out of her chair, stretching and yawning, and puts her Vid-game into the pouch at her side. A small thin and very young looking little Tian female wearing standard blue overalls over the "Second Skin" armor that she seems to never take off except to maintain joins the others, smiling as she approaches. "Home again, home again jiggity jig". She states looking at the image of the station as she approaches, a wistful if anxious look on her face. She looks at Retsiji's choice of food and frowns, holding up her almost empty can of Cheesyballs for display. "This and Jolt Cola are all the food I need".
Two week business trip. Should be able to post most days, but might be spotty. Camping on 22nd through 26th, so AFK then. I'll get my introduction post up tonight after I get in the hotel.
I believe Aiko's profile is complete. Still a bit of background to finish... but I like developing that as the game continues. Also, for some reason the "Class Abilities, including spells aren't showing up, but I don't have time to troubleshoot that at the moment...So.... Aiko reporting for duty.
Aiko's CHA is 12. She's pretty and nice, but is more used to dealing with machines and computers than people. I had to have High INT and DEX for her video game prowess or I would have made it higher. Should be able to finish her profile tonight if I still have power and internet.
Basically finished shopping. Now just have to fill out the character sheet. (Never mind about giving access to edit. I just copy/pasted it into Word), and update the profile. Wanted to read up on the setting a bit more, but basically.
Should be able to get my finished profile up sometime today. It appears that I am smack dab in the middle of the hunting grounds of an angry Air Elemental named Irma, so if communication stops for a while be aware that I'm probably hiding in a hole somewhere, but will pop my head back out when it's safe.
Check...Check... Is this thing on?
Ok. Finished Aiko's Character sheet tonight except for shopping. I'll list the skills she's good at here, if it helps others for planning. +10 Computers
Everything else is +1 or less. **I'll work on getting the character profile edited and finished today. BD... any chance you can PM or email me the profile you created so I can just fill in the blanks**
Yeah. I posted there three different times yesterday. I'm on the player tab, and it's in my favorited games, but no post. |
