Thanks. And how should I dump my character into the Academy?

Currently, there are four options open for entrance into the RP, as I see it.

1. Character arrives early for next semester; has not yet come to the academy.

2. Character has just transfered in from another dorm. Might know a couple people; already attending academy.

3. Character simply wasn't good friends with the group, though an acqaintance. By circumstances, he finds himself getting closer to the group.

4. Character is the third roommate of Matt/Arian's room, who is now being kept awake by the meeting in said room. Allows you to know a couple characters really well, and be familiar with the rest.

Up to you. And, of course, your welcome to anything else you can think of.

I'll do the transfer.

Thank you! :)

Uhh, I ran into a bit of a problem.

I need to make Vincent go on the trip, but I can't seem to figure out how to coerce him into going.

EDIT: I guess I can make him decide later.

Vacation? Why, what vacation?

You mean Vincent's trip to Liberty City for self-education on the FPS democratic system, and in particular, it's buerocratic design and operation.

There's nothing the military likes better, after all, then a well-educated man who knows who the FPS buerocracy actually works.

That DOES sound good.

Perhaps his professor can tell him that when he drops off his paper. Thanks, FPS.

And Kandarin, my character will be prepared for vacation as soon as he drops that paper off and his prof tells him that he needs to improve his knowledge of local governments.

Nope, because Vincent is dirt poor and now won't have to ask FPS for $$$.

My apologies, FPS. Matt's been stuck in his bedroom with Arian and the mysterious Student X forever, and Rez asked me to play Arian until he returns.

I think I started my New Year's celebrations just a wee bit too soon. :blink: :P

Um, EMC, Katara was right in the room when Matt said what time they were leaving.

Just saying. She would've heard.

You can safely assume that your character is packed and on the bus, even if it wasn't mentioned.

At this point, if you wish to enter, there's two ways I can see to do it.

1. Simply have your character arrive at the dorms, as a transfer student (from another college), or a dorm room transfer (as in, transferring to our dorm from another), or perhaps as a student simply entering second semester for whatever reason. You'd be able to meet Dann's characters only, I'm afraid.

2. Have your student meet the rest of group in Liberty City, become fast friends, and then just happen to be planning to attend for 2nd semester (or planning to transfer, or w/e). He hangs with the group for their trip, then accompanies them back.

This is probably your best bet (at least if you want Rogues' Gallery 1 and not Rogues' Gallery 2). The event they're going to is a large political gathering (read: party) so perhaps your character is the son or daughter of a Bakostrovian leader/diplomat/ex-pat/whatever-you-want who happens to be attending the ball, and happens to be enrolled for the next year.

For the record, you can't sleep on a military aircraft. It's not possible, unless you're being deprived of sleep already. So if you try for Para wings, then you could do it.

Seat? SEAT!?! I had a seatbelt, on the floor. One of the people I was riding with said "..and you thought Air Transat was bad."

So I ended up burying my head in my knees, on my patch of floor, back by the doors, where the Sonobuoys were kept(and launched). They're kind of loud and they go off somewhat unpredictably.

The food on military planes is shit. The same guy said afterwards "I think I ate a fossil."

The time does literally fly by though, pun not intended, as there's a lot going on. I was on an MPA and not a Transport, which would explain part of it. It's a lot of fun though and once my transfer to the Army gets finished, it means I will have operated with all three elements.

That's pretty much what I was thinking (and the reason why I put 'cabin' in quotation marks) but I figured it might be a little spiteful to write several paragraphs about how they're strapped to the floor and/or walls inches away from chunks of rusty, jagged metal and just leave people to their own images for once (Note: this is a one-time offer :D).

Besides, it's FPS' plane and they're carrying a VIP, they might have scraped together some abysmal seats. And some of them have learned to sleep in worse places.

For instance, Vincent makes several references to a multiple-day trip he took in a banana barge as part of his travels.

i've been on an AC-130, lol (and that's why i'm SO ashamed of my former typo about the HC/AC, lol). and i KNOW you are perfectly right, cooc. but this airtrip was lasting for TOO a long time, and considering there had already been complaints about shiro immobility, i've thought making EVERYONE sleeping would have been a nice idea to make the journey a bit shorter, at least RP-wise...

And considering we’re the last copter scheduled to reach LC for the next week or so, it would have been a problem.


FPS, considering you have (/have had) thousands of Iremian refugees hosted in Garneldo and/or its surroundings, I'm assuming your military has authorized the rezielan cargo copters to move between garneldo and LC every now and then, to allow contacts and shipments between the refugees and the embassy.

if my assumption is wrong, just make a whistle.

Alright, Darius is here at Liberty City to not only be at the shindig, but also he's doing some back door trading of Mechan military supplies, in an effort to help the Mechans' much smaller economy. As such, to make it more realistic, I'd like someone to either RP themselves, or generate for me to RP a "buyer" who is interested in buying supplies. Government, dissident groups, private collectors, etc. are all welcome. I'd also like to know what kind of supplies they are buying. Really it can be anything from vehicles to food, so any organization will do. I dunno, just collecting thoughts I guess!

"His dad does a lot of controversial things? I thought he was just some sort of aide to the Pres ..." Abruptly, Karen shut up.

A number of things were suddenly screamingly obvious: Matt's discomfort talking about his father, Anna's helping him change the subject when they were back at Shiro, the plane, the officer's change of colour when he'd said "Mr. Terrence", a medical team on hand for a group of students ...

Glancing off-handedly at Anna, Karen replied, "Yeah, that's probably all there is to it."


Anna wasn't making a mistake; Matt had implied that his father was the Terrus Administration's equivalent to Bush's Karl Rove or Clinton's Dick Morris, which opens up all sorts of opportunity for controversy. (Indeed, Rove has taken the heat for his boss on numerous occasions and this hypothetical FPSian surely would as well).

Of course, that's no reason to change the post. Karen might well not know that.

Erm, yea, Reziel, they'd have no problem giving someone a ride (or taking some cargo), though I'm afraid said ride would be on the floor of an aircraft...Terrus made the military scrap together some crappy seats for the Shiroittes because his son was on the plane; anyone else has to make due.
