TIME WARP THREAD

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Here we will try to summarize what your characters were able to accomplish and what they know of what NPCs were able to do. And stuff.

Here is me trying to summarize what you, in the OOC, said your characters were up to. I've also added how that went, and left out things I felt they wouldn't get time to accomplish or that seemed unimportant to note.

Let us know here if you want to change or add anything, and if you have any questions about what happened with specific NPCs or the world at large in the interim.

Ashley, Patti, Nat, and Zoe all tried to track down the big white fluffy cat, but it managed to remain mysterious. Asking around it seems possible someone guarding the back door just let it in, but there are conflicting reports as to who. It keeps turning up in odd places, being pet by people who are unaware of its mysterious status, then going feral at the first sight of an investigator. Seems like it will only be friendly if you are a disinterested party. Other random cats are also showing up, and it seems that yes, people are letting them in. Dr. Melange says "knock that shit off!" Halfway thru month, Zoe seems to have forgotten about the beast completely. Mr. Fluffles remains at large.

Micah - Did some farming and half-assed assist to Chantelle, fitnessing privately &/or with the fitness nerds, letting Nora and Alex and to a lesser extent Chantelle be friendly at him. Did he let Doc Vic get him in bed naked? (see Doc's agenda)

Ben - Did some hobbying with electronic communications, helped people with schemes, schemed how to kill a lotta zombies, put in charge of zombicide crew and actually went and killed SO MANY ZOMBIES, taught kendo with some improvised gear for pupils, didn't quite make a move on Sonya? So many variables to consider...

Alex - Exercised too much, learned Kendo and hand to hand from Ben and Ashley, "upheld the chivalric code," learned of flier scheme from Council types and helped implement it, left a few Emil tags when on scavenging runs, in desperation recruited Nat for Ouija scheme IT SUMMONED A GHOST, chickened out / burned it, finally began discussing a trip to SU with Seth just recently, tried to decide between macking on Chelsea, Ione, and so on, probably couldn't and came super close to dating more than one at the same time, felt bad about it, didn't end up doing anything.

Patti - Nursed her wound, exercised too much, only got into the parkour if Micah actually deigned to show up for fitness stuffs, hung out with lashonda and company (Lashayshay declined the braids, favoring the ball-head under bandana look), occasionally hung out with Ben and Sonya - usually thereby hanging out with Davin & Sandy, after hearing Peg's itinerary decided it wouldn't help her get close to trainer guy unless they split up, did her best to help Peg and see her off, helped Chantelle and Micah implement agriculture (best early success beans, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, spices), easily got whatever she needed in the hood (as the zombie population was decimated in concerted efforts by Ben, Seth, and crew).

Ashley - taught hand to hand combat as part of his fitness people program (not a lot of takers), gradually, mostly recovered from GSW, maintained his shrine and acted like a cop, pretended to not be a cop, arrested Alex for Grand Theft: Cool Pants, hung out with Patti at breakfast, Thierry while committing zombicide, and Tyrone when playing poker, and so on.

Doc Vic - Docs Victor and Melange got help raiding a few biomed places nearby for the gear to cure Kaya's meningitis, but it was a treacherous illness. As it seemed nearly gone, it came back. A new regimen has been deployed and she's still in the clinic. This time shit should work.
Vic also found time in his days to iron out the last kinks in medical record keeping and drug tracking, refresh Melange on emergency care, organize medical training for go-getters (Davin, Thierry, Columbo, Casey [sucked at it], Jackson, Susie, Lashonda), got Sharma out of the clinic and into Thierry's room (Thierry insisted - likes keeping his homies close), kept paying increasingly weird visits to the UWMRC, did private fitness stuff with Thierry - and boned if he couldn't resist the mighty boneliness, and took a not necessarily helpful interest in power generation.
Busy guy.

Edit- Oh, and Nat, I guess, helped try to organize weird cat circumstance. He succeeded in summoning a ghost with Alex's makeshift Ouija board, but that didn't go over very well. And so on.

Hey, now! DV totes got electrocuted! Hence the razzle-dazzle new hair style! Me likes it! ^_^

[∆§Indea§∆]

Sure, Dr.Vic got Micah nekkid in bed and saw his parrot/bird of paradise/cockatoo. Patty would only get the training if she annoyed Micah enough, it would be half-arsed as always. Also, why does Chantelle only become friendly with him to a lesser extent, surely his excellent repartee with her would cement their friendship. How many different ways can a person ask the same question before peeps be mates? hahaha

[Suyoi]

Doc Vic will just insist on nude sleeping only with Micah, like, actual sleeping... for Doc Vic reasons. Hee hee hee mwahahaha!

[∆§Indea§∆]

That's okay, Micah has his favourite hand and a sock ( to whom he has of course given origami to).


EDIT: In this case it would be ( 手 ) te-gami ho ho ho. ;D

[Gillsing]

I was actually planning for Ben to make his move on Sonya at (or before) the party that precedes the time warp, so that's why it wasn't included in Ben's long term plans. I also figured that it would be something that ought to be roleplayed rather than abbreviated, but that might have been a mistake on my part, since I am woefully inexperienced in these matters.

So far Ben has just been waiting a few days or a week for things (and minds) to return to some state of normalcy. After all, they danced all night and then talked the rest of the night, and she seems perfectly willing to spend time with him alone. So in his mind it would be a colossal waste if they both like each other and don't do anything about it during the entire time warp.

But then origami came to town. And what do I know about how normal adults handle their love lives? Maybe it's not strange at all to go for 40-50 days and just think about making a move? Or hope that some special moment comes along to make it just 'happen'? Though in Ben's mind, any 'special moments' that come along are more likely to involve fear and screaming. So he'd be more inclined to take advantage of the lull in the terror.

@ Gillsing - Take this with a grain of salt, considering my history of not intentionally dating people, but I've observed that a person's personality and experience with romance play a big role in relationship time scales (time from crush development to time of confession). Ben seems resolved to take the plunge, though, so unless something happens to throw off his determination, he'd probably act quickly. Also, during their first training session (before the party, if Ben follows through with his Kendo plans), Alex will totes volunteer to ask Sonya how she feels about Ben (casually, of course - he's a fine bro!) I don't know if Ben accepts this offer, though.

And it's worth noting that, as the weeks pass, Alex will develop a subtle "dumbarse American-Australian" accent. It's inexplicable! He'll also deny it vehemently, if anybody calls him out.

[Dr. Maneep Pamplemousse]

Alex is absolutely my favorite character in all of this.

[DKender]

Alex loves you, too, Brett. Alex loves you.

[Gillsing]

Alex is awesome. He's Awesome Alex. But as awesome as he is, Ben wouldn't feel comfortable involving Alex in this matter. Partially because he's a bit intimidated by how awesome Alex is, but mostly because it just doesn't seem very mature to send someone else. And it's very important to act mature in these matters. ;D

[Thy Dungyeon Maestyr]

Well... Would Ben mention something pre-party? We're gonna RP up to the beginning of the party and jump then.

[DKender]

@ Gillsing - If by "Awesome," you mean "Special Snowflake," we are in total agreement. ;D

[∆§Indea§∆]

Alex is about as intimidating as a large poodle ;D. We are all cheering for Ben! You can do it man.
