1)-Psifox is back YAY!
2)-Motorcycle accident,... OWCH!
You have no idea.
You must be one tough mo-fo dude, because I've known people who wrecked on bikes before, and THEY weren't 'cleared by the doc' this quick!
I was thrown clear on impact (I was hit from behind), and only suffered a cracked rib, a broken left hand, and a broken leg (I landed on the car in front of me). Merry Frigging Christmas. I was released on Christmas Eve-Eve (the day before Christmas Eve), so I got to see the family and get sympathy there - so that was nice.
Again, best wishes for your speedy recovery, and God bless you.
Welcome back. It's good to see your avatar again.~Rags
Thanks so much. It's good to be back. I've missed you guys!

JSL:
Perhaps Veren wasn't captured, and he helps them to find his mistress? He's been able to forge a bond with Naelah's companions, I'm sure one of them will pay attention to him...
@JSL~
Hey, I've been thinking about Sli's background, and why he's so nervous around women. I don't know if you can work this into your plot or not, (At least not for a while I imagine) but here's what I'm working with,...
Slidell has a GEAS cast on him that he is not aware of. This Geas is to prevent him from getting too comfortable, IE-'close' to any female. (This does not kick in any time he speaks to a girl, only when he starts feeling emotionally attached, or attracted to one.)
There is a sinister reason for this. 'They' (either his mentor, or one of his mentors acquaintances,) cast it on him to keep him 'pure'. They may even have told him it was a minor enchantment to help him focus on his studies when he was having troubles.
FOr some sinister reason, they need him 'untouched'. They can also have put another command in there that compels him to return once he has reached a certain level of power. I'm thinking that they need an untouched mage of a certain power to either cast a difficult spell, or as a component for one. (!)
I have many game reasons for this, but the biggest are 'RL" reasons. I'm no prude, or homophobe, (I have 3 degrees in theatre!) but 'flirting', (even purely in character and in game,) With a character I know is played by a guy, kinda takes some of the fun out of it for me. (I admit, slidell's first couple of posts were written when I thought that Psi was a girl!) Also, being happily (re)married, I'm also not comfortable potentially flirting with another man's wife! (Again, even in character and in game.)
THIS way I can still have all the fun and interesting interactions that everyone has come to know, (and hopefully enjoy) from Sli, and I can avoid crossing any invisible lines and alienating any of my new PbP friends!
So, what do YOU think?!? Or am I overreacting and trying to solve potential problems where none exists? (Also something I have done in RL)
Let me know what you think!
Thanks! :D
@JSL~
Thanks. I DO have a bit of a tendency to overthink things sometimes. (And not enough at others!)
It does open up interesting roleplay opportunities if an NPC (or a character) decides to flirt with Sli. A Geas would give "I have a headache" a whole new meaning!
Call me slow, (The truth doesn't hurt TOO much,) But I don't remember seeing a post from Corran in a while, is he back from 'holiday break' yet?
???
Wow. Magic!
It's the disappearing/reappearing Thread trick!
Can I try?!? :P
If it wasn't so frustrating, it would be pretty funny.
Oh and "Woo-hoo LSU, BCS Champions" (Not that I care, I don't normally watch football, but the wife is a Louisiana native, and she was happy they won. And when SHE's happy, I'M happy. So,... Woo-Hoo!)
Posting during my lunch break, most likely.
Talion's last post was on January 2nd.
His last PbP post was on December 30th. He seems to have dropped DMing of his PbP too. I'll post there and see if he shows up.

I seem to remember talion making noises about being away for a bit. I'll see if I can find the post again.
EDIT: Maybe I'm just imagining things. :P
Mini-book for you all.
I hope I've managed to do Ehlissa justice.
You managed to make it sound remarkably like the 'real' Ehlissa. Nice post.

Ditto.
(HAH! My shortest post yet!) :P
sorry guys, Slidell may have messed up. (So what ELSE is new?!?)
In my defense though, I thought that getting the guard would be a GOOD idea! :)
And if I may meta-game for just a moment, I thought that Bethana would be happy to see the guard!? She was certainly looking for help when we showed up. I'm guessing that when she saw us she was relieved and thought we would handle it? (/confusion OFF)
Again, sorry. But subtlety is NOT Sli's strong suit. :P
Also, I'm going to play it as written, but just so you know, my first reaction when the guard turned away to go get Bethana would have been to high-tail it down the hall, cloak flapping, to see WHAT in the !@#$ Vesh and Malcolm were doing! 8D
Ah well, a few tense moments to convince this lunkhead that we're trying to help, Then Slidell can sink his teeth into a mystery!
NICE save Malcolm!
I hope my distracting the guy helps. If not, I'm sure that Vesh can help you out.
:)
That was not clear from your post. I read it that you were going towards the kitchen.
AH! That explains it. You were right, I WAS heading for the kitchen. And trying to get him to follow me. I MEANT to say that when the guard had STOPPED me and told me to stay put, when HE went to the kitchen, THEN I would have high-tailed it towards Vesh & Malcolm!
Also, Thank you for explaining why Bethana gave me the dirty look. 'NOW I see the light!' :P
Aw well, chalk up another one for the 'NOT Slidell's Biggest Fan' Club! :D
All: This encounter has been roleplayed very well by everyone involved. Please keep in mind that, just like combat, not everything will go your way in an RP encounter. That's how it is in a tough encounter. Just because the guards are probably 1st level Warriors with mostly average abilities doesn't mean they're going to roll over for a skinny guy in a cape and hat. :)
Well, why not fer pete's sake! (I'D roll over for him, but that's me, in RL I'm a bit of a gulli-bull)
:P
EDIT- Actually, this encounter is giving me the willies, and I just figured out why!
It's Deja-Vu of this time in RL when I got pulled over in Texas, (Driving back from seeing my kids who were with X-wife, I was trying not to fall asleep at the wheel, and I WAS speeding. LOOOOONG drive From California back to Louisiana.) And no matter what I said, OR how I said it, the officer insisted on taking it the wrong way!
(officer- no uniform. Sheriff star pinned to a white button up shirt, with blue jeans, cowboy boots, a 5 gallon stetson, and mirrored sunglasses.)
THAT was a rough day. I was VERY close to going to jail for no other reason than this guy wanted to be an @$$. If THAT had been a D&D encounter. I probably would have just spell-blasted him. No matter my characters' alignment. It was THAT bad! :P
NICE save Malcolm!
I hope my distracting the guy helps. If not, I'm sure that Vesh can help you out.:)
Thanks, I hope this works.
@JSL~
All good points. And unfortunately, I agree with them all. (I'm probably pushing the 'crazy mage' bit farther here than I should have. As soon as I get my thoughts together, and sli realizes it, I'll make him very cooperating. He'll still be annoyiong, but he'll be VERY accomadating about it!)
But also remember, Slidell's not TRYING to tick him off at all, or further. (That's why I made the earlier OOC about deleting the 'Give a guard a clue' comment if Sli thought it WOULD push him over.) He's just so used to talking faster than people can usually listen, that to run up against someone who wont listen to be bamboozled is something he's never thought of!
HM. One last thought. It IS fun to be able to play a game like this and ay least FLIRT with something like 'ticking off a policeman'. I've already related that i'm NOT crazy enough to do it in RL! Tho I've also grown fond of this character, and really don't want him sitting in the hoosegow,... or worse! :P
Rub it in, why don't ya?
Though now Vesh has pointed out Corran to him ensuring that you'll all be in this together, whatever this is.
Hehe,... You mean there was one person I didn't involve?!? I must be slipping!
It's happened to me, too. After being picked up for trespassing my friend says to the officer, "Did you guys catch so-and-so, too?"
As I recall, a toilet seat was involved somehow. :)

!?!?!?!?!!!! ???
I,...Nevermind. I think that might just cross the line of 'TOO much information!"
:D
@JSL~
In regards to your earlier comments, I think your right.
I was trying to hard, as opposed to my earlier posts, which had a clear goal in mind. (Character-wise).
I going to blame it on being cranky at work, and taking it out on the keyboard! (Which serves me right, since I SHOULD have been working!)
:)
Ah well, back to the OLD drawing board!
Ah yes,
I've said it before, and I'll say it again,...
"Real Life is but a crutch for those unable to comprehend Science Fiction!"
EDIT- (Or gaming,... I'll accept gaming!)
I would mourn the loss of Corran, but mainly because I would miss Talion. He may not be as chatty as some of us,... (OK, as me!) but he seemed to have invested a lot of background into his character, and seemed like a nice guy. I hope he is alright.
It may be that he is still 'out' from the holiday season, and may return soon.
The college I work at, for example, doesn't start classes again until the 22nd!
Time ot go back and re-read some old spoilers! hehe :P
(I figured out the picture clue, waiting to reveal Slidell's 'superior' detective skills at an appropriate moment!) :P
So, "Detective Sli" strikes again!
;P
(That was fun! I'm back in the groove!)
:D
I just have to respond:
He stops. Blinks. "Damn." He mutters. "I HATE being right."
AND
"If THATS a coincidence, I'll,... I'll,... I'll eat Veran!" He finishes in a flustered stutter.
I have yet to meet an individual who doesn't like to be right. And I have yet to meet anyone who likes to eat crow! (And not just because Malcolm says it's greasy.) :)

Allow me to clarify,
Of course He LOVES being right! (As you said, who doesn't?) However, he was really hoping that he was wrong in this case, and that there wasn't a traitor IN the town. (Which he has just convinced himself there assuredly is.) And now he has to FIND the person!
Please remember this, as I'm sure there will be a reason for him to shout "I love being right" sooner or later. ;)
Well, Corran's kind of the meatshield type and so is Ehlissa so they might make a passable Jayne. Come to it, we don't really have one in our party.
Mal? Jayne?
Color me confused, I guess I'm not as 'hip a geek' as I thought I was!
(Bad Dr. Evil accent) Throw me a bone here, willya?(/accent)
The low-HP-mage who REALLY doesn't want to be left alone agrees with your presumption!
:)

Mal and Jayne are characters from the show Firefly. Firefly was easily the best TV show to ever be aired, IMO. It was cancelled by Fox after one season. I could go on and on but I won't.
