Yeah I love talking in circles with strangers during a crisis. Here here here, sorry, I hate to be rude, I PROMISE I'm not like this, but jesus christ- Nodin continues to rant, more so in the direction of the strangers than anyone else. Nodin stepped out of the car with a sigh Wari wari. Fake business men ruining the bunch of us, making me look bad. Keeping the rifle aimed on the guys, driver door open and the car still running as he stood just next to it, now leaning over the hood of the car, Nodin yelled out HEY! Instead of f%%$ing around, why don't you tell us the cut you want, then we all throw something big lying around through the glass and we unlock the doors and clear the store? We all know the police aren't coming for small fry when this place seems to be t$+% up. And god forbid we do one more dance with your poor negotiating skills before other people come to this spot to do a job as well. Come on man, be a closer for gods sake. You've already almost been shot! Twice!
Gather information in this game SHOULD be different- just based on the fact that we actually have technology to do research with. But, at the end of the day, meh. xD Killing that skill will let me take a new one or two anyways hahahaha Why did you put points in a knowledge skill you don't need? your class make you do it or something?
As the others' ruse is exposed, Nodin keeps the rifle aimed on the "new" guys through the back window of the car, holding it steady as he keeps the car running and waves out to the others with a whisper Guys, come on. Get back in, this place is freakin' blasted anyways. Let's get the F+%! out of here. What are we gonna do with these jokers? Invite them back for supper?
Finally John and I are in agreement. Everyone is in trouble, including us. Rule number one in working nonprofit and any other emergency service- you always accept the fact that you can never help everyone, and especially not at once. The thing we disagree on is going with- every action has consequences, we're in the car already, it's time to go. If anyone is getting out, get out now, we really need to do this before we look back at it later and say "damn it we should have done it sooner." Nodin does a head count in the car of and surrounding area to ensure that all the people he *can* help right now are not missing, and that it could not be one of their immediately new friends screaming-
No, we might not have to kill for food- But other people? You should never underestimate how stupid some of these a!@##*%s can be. I really hate to be an a*~%*$$- but we really shouldn't go without heavy hardware, especially for the one sitting and running the car. We're talking about s&&% getting blocked out by the government or whoever, after all- I reaaaally don't think we should take that lightly.
With my cigs I'm more than willing to keep the car running, but uh, I'm a cautious type- I'll need a little bit of a heavier hardware if I'm staying in the car while crazy people and crazy cops do their thing, if you know what I mean. Anybody got anything? A good sized knife or pistol will do, if no one minds losing it for the amount of time their in the store? And, we really should stick together... I don't normally like heavy handing things, but we should be able to get everything we want from one store, and based on Mr. Tweaker outside and the radio bands, four, or five, is a lot better than two and two, don't ya' think?
Nodin grinned Yeah, I don't know about here in California, but out in Metro Detroit the cops really aren't what you want to call your "first line" of defense, ha ha! Wait, people have been blocked? Yeah, we should probably get prepped before national guard rolls in. Next thing you know they are ordering you to keep your windows closed and doing town wide sweeps like in Boston- no thanks, ha ha!
Nodin slowly made his way back in with a grin Forgot I had this bad boy- an E-Pipe mod, ha ha! Alllright. Besides, that man gives me the creeps now, the bastard. By the way John, I don't think we've properly introduced ourselves to one another. I met the others a bit ago while playing CAH, but uh, I'm Nodin, Nodin McKinney! Met Patrick online, believe it or not, but there's a nice little area nearby just begging to be developed, so when he invited me out here for the party, well, couldn't resist haha. How about you?
Nodin grinned Does my car count? Ha ha ha ha ha! So- what's next? How'd that last bout of mario kart go? Seeing Danny peel back the curtain, Nodin laughed Oooh just let the tweaker tweak. Cops'll deal with them soon enough. Hopefully it doesn't end up in them being shot, ha ha ha! Chinese/ 在中国药品抽你!:
In China, drugs smoke YOU! Nodin then began to absent-mindedly ponder what kind of things he could do to better Old Town Eureka as the others conversed. He shut off his iPhone and tucked it away. Nodin then realized he was smoking in Patrick's house F#%!! F$&! it, I'm gonna be right outside guys- holy s$*+. Completely forgot I even had this in my mouth!
As the group makes their way back up, Nodin looks the man over again Yeaaah I don't know guys... He might need our help- what if he's asthmatic or something? As soon as 911 is mentioned, Nodin nods True, probably better to let the professionals take care of it then. Nodin grins Speaking of ladies, Patrick, I'm kinda lazy when it comes to the whole women department. Mind if I order a lady in, instead? Ha ha ha ha!
Nodin put his iPhone back into his pocket, taking out a pack of cigs and lighting one in his mouth I don't know a lot about electronics, to be honest, I really suck at them- that LED light is about the coolest thing I have aside from my browser dimming app I use to protect my eyes, but uh- Wait John! Jesus what are you crazy? They could just be coked out ha ha ha.
Nodin bit his cigarette as he smoked it down, handless, studying the creature to see if there was anything odd about them. He could have been the one who shot that gun earlier. No way it thunders this far after a storm.
Nodin gave a wink to the girls he was playing with before dramatically rolling off the couch, ninja style though nowhere near as elegant, jumping to his feet, and saluting to Patrick and the newcomer Oi! I'll be coming as well! Absolutely love home tours! Nodin for some reason appeared to have extremely good vision right now- expecially given that he had had enough alcohol to justify a ninja roll off a guest's couch. Nodin grinned at the flashlights No problem, I got an LED app on my iPhone I'll use instead- might as well save the batteries in those flashlights, right? Nodin clicked open the app and turned it on, his iPhone making a star wars esque laser noise as he did so.
Nodin, seeing the short blonde haired girl, said a polite remark to Lexus before making his way to start playing Mario Kart. Well, this should be fun to do while intoxicated, eh? Ha ha! Nodin chose Bowser per the usual and raced to his hearts content, sometimes even driving backwards after keeping first just to screw around with everyone else and have a good time. So, Patrick, How would you say your party is going??? He called out as he got blue shelled into oblivion by the blonde, causing him to laugh hysterically at his own demise.
Nodin grinned You wouldn't happen to have some Bacardi 151, or Crown Royal, would you? Mixed drinks wise I always love an Irish Car Bomb or the classic Rum and Coke but, you know- hahaha, liquor is almost always liquor, right? As Lexus passed Nodin the cup he grinned and nodded in approval So, how do you know Patrick, Lexus? Bad ass name, by the way- that's right up there with Axel! And of course, what do you do, what are you studying?
As the storm picked up, Nodin grinned from ear to ear Alright, I think that's enough loner time for the next few days. Let's go see how Patrick's awesome party is going. Nodin ashed his cigarette on the side walk and, ensuring it did not smell of smoke to the nth degree, put it inside his pack wrapped in the pack's wrapping foil and headed inside to find Patrick and view the latest card dealings for Cards Against Humanity. Yeah it's any second now before these people go crazy with sex things and all that- that will probably be when I take a nap. ha ha! He thought to himself as he opened the door with a creak and wiped off his shoes, greeting the first people he saw inside.
I'll be in in just a minute ha ha ha, though a storm doesn't sound too bad... As Patrick made his way inside, Nodin began to dive into the ambiance of peace and quiet through the muffling sounds of nature. Outside was his home away from home- and a storm was his morning cigarette, like the greeting of an old friend lost. You couldn't stop the storm, only face it or hide from it. Nasty fast, huh? I'm a big guy- let's see what Mother Nature can do in California that it can't do to me in Michigan, ha ha ha! Nodin waited to hear the first crack of lightning as he grinded out the half of a cigarette he *did* smoke onto the ground, then put the unfinished but in his pack after ripping it down to the butt so it didn't reek of smoke. Come on come on, stop being such an introvert and get inside already fat ass! You love people don't you? You're here to see them! You're a commercial real estate agent for crying out loud! Nodin debated for nearly five minutes the benefit of smoking in a storm until the rain put it out instead of going inside and laughing his ass off to Cards Against Humanity. I'm a smoker, five, ten more minutes, they'll just think I had a long drive right? Besides, I come in from the storm, more to talk about!
Nodin scrolls through the news in his iPhone and sees the one on murderer and turns the screen with the article open to Patrick as he blows more smoke straight into the sky Yeah, I bet global warming is gonna looooove that, ha ha! Yeah, looks like this "Derrik Redman" is probably what's going on over there. Took a minute, but I found it! Ha ha! So, Patrick- Nodin fully turned off his iPhone to ensure it stayed at full charge as long as possible- he hated being that "one guest" that just "had to charge" his phone What do you do, man? What are you up to? Looks like you gotta lot of friends, eh? Ha ha ha!
Nodin looked back and forth as the sirens went off Listen, I uh, don't mean to be a "hero" or rude to your party, but... How far is this Buhne Street? I usually stay out of people's business, but I still like to watch over whatever people and town I'm around- you know? Never know when someone might need some help, ha ha ha! Nodin lit a cigarette as he spoke, blowing the exhale directly up and into the air so it couldn't possibly hit anyone in the face. Blech, ha ha, you know, as much as I love cigarettes, man they just stink. Hahahaha. As Nodin kept his cigarette in his mouth, he pulled up his iPhone and began to search for local police reports and ticket citations that were always posted- It was always a good thing to be aware of his surroundings after all, and since he'd never been outside the Midwest until now, paranoia wasn't necessarily such a bad thing.
Oh please- I'm not like most smokers. If anyone here is allergic, I won't even lit up until I'm in my car. Smoking in the house, I don't know if you've ever done it, but, uh, it's gross- but thanks Patrick! What a host what a host! Nodin then looked at Thomas with a grin Oh come now Thomas! Don't you like making new friends? Now, look- Nodin walked forward a few paces, holding out his pack of Marlboro Red 100's to Thomas You might be cranky now- but one smoke with this and it'll feel as if your flying on a cloud- nicotine is the greatest thing there is! Nodin then shrugged But maybe I just prefer my poison in a white paper rolled cash crop, instead of in a liquid in the bottle, ha ha ha ha! Come on! Finally, turning to the people at the table Nodin nodded Aye! He king'd you! Why is no one giving him his crown??? Nodin, as he said this, moved along with Patrick as Patrick showed him the backyard I was being serious, by the way. Do you know if smoke triggers anyone's asthma? It happens to my best friend, so I try pretty hard to not smoke so much around him. I only smoke three cigs a day, so it's no big deal regardless, you know? It was becoming clearer and clearer that Nodin didn't just talk a lot, but he could talk a lot about probably anything with half-way decent material on hand.
Heeeey Patrick! How's the birthday???
Oh hell yes!!! Is that Cards Against Humanity? No need to play, just watching this game is hilarious!!! Nodin made his way over to the table and introduced himself, giving a wink now and again at any of the cute females Hey guys! Would you believe I just finished sharing a pizza with a few homeless people?? Hook, line, annnnd [dice= "I donate at least a quarter of my income year round!"] 1d20+16= [/dice]
Sinker. Lets see if there are any charitable souls like myself around here- bet they have as many interesting stories as I do.
As Nodin finished his shared pizza with a few of the homeless, he hopped back in his car while checking the time on his iPhone S&&%! S@#+ s~&# s$&!! Seeing that he was going to be nearly an hour late to the party, he typed the address into the iPhone as he lit a cigarette and cranked Howlin' Wolf as he drove off- had to make an entrance to a new group of strangers somehow, after all. Luckily the house was only six or so minutes away, and Nodin took a sigh of relief as he continued to jam and smoke. Pulling up to the party, Nodin parked a little ways down from the house, most likely to be protested by his neighbors in the morning. He knocked several times as he put his keys and iPhone neatly tucked away in his pocket. Before the door was answered he realized he was still smoking S@$&! He yelled as he threw it down on the stone patio, tapping it out quickly with his foot.
As a CRE (commercial real estate agent), Nodin knew just how important it was to be on time to something- that's why he was a few minutes away from the party, preparing to be within thirty minutes late, as he checked out Old Eureka Town for a deal he hoped to propose to their Chamber of Commerce some day. From what he read in the papers it was a pass through city for the daytime, not really a place to be at night. But Nodin had become more than accustomed to the homeless, to those living off the streets, and his brother had been a drug mule in Detroit. There was little in life, at 23, he hadn't seen already through his career choices and family events. He always found a dark method of humor to make himself laugh harder, and more often, than anyone else he ever knew. He was chubby, but not in a computer geek way despite his large gut. Instead he was more that of a gorilla- broad shoulders, large arms, barrel chest still remaining from when he lifted weights 13x a week, and a large old beer gut despite him having only drank once every six months. He loved checking his hazel eyes quickly in the mirror from behind his Ray Ban glasses while sucking down a cigarette with a chuckle as he said out loud Heh, look Grandma, Grandpa- I'm a flaming f*aggot. He never got old of that joke- though he did indeed miss his Grandma Betty on his Mom's side, who passed away on Mother's Day on a Monday. He missed his Grandpa on his father's side more- though he passed on a fantastic timed day as well- the second day of his junior year SAT's. It seemed the universe enjoyed playing a dark theme over Nodin's life- but after years and years of noticing this pattern, he accepted it and turned it into a game. How many times can I get back at the Universe before it gets back at me? His favorite method was to turn a massive stock profit from corrupt military industrial stocks into funds for his own nonprofit ventures- which, of course, he was doing now. After a few nighttime photos, Nodin hopped out of his cheap, $1000 car that he souped up for another grand to talk with the "locals" no one else did- After all, there was still plenty of time to make the party, and he'd have done a good deed AND have a great story to share with his new friends.
I want everyone to know that sometimes Nodin has to take narcotics for a sinus infection that became so bad he coughed 2x in the morning and pulled his right oblique. This means that sometimes you will just happen across your Charismatic Hero who needs to tug one out mid-zombie apocalypse, because he had to make a blank stealth check to get away with it and, well, he rolled a natty 1 on that particular day. On that day I want you to know this happy go lucky bearded hero is going to shoot you a wink, a grin, and keep on "tugging." #BroughtToYouBy
<3 Hope all is well with the rest of you! xD
I made a hinting joke about it in the recruitment thread, but I actually do want to ask- I up'd my guys Charisma to 18 on the point buy and used the human bonus points of 2 to make it 20. I figured this would be alright, since it specializes *and* I'd say, almost negatively, affects my character. But, being a Charisma based guy, I wasn't sure if you wanted the real values cap'd at 18, or if 18 point buy plus the 2 being a human gives me would be alright xD |
