Edit: It really does seem that Blood Moon could also be called " Andy Bruss has the worst life on Earth"....while other PCs may have experianced agony and pain...Andy has been swimming in it since the very first chapter...how the man hasn't gone completely insane is beyond me.
I think that moment might just be coming for poor Andy tbh... with Wendy along for the ride.
Very well written btw FITZZ, exceptionally harsh but we are dealing with vampires, werewolves and monsters of all breeds here.
@Warork... welcome back!
Thanks Aurelia, I'm really aiming to make this chapter of BM the most grim by far...so I suppose everyone should expect that same sort of grimness to occur as we progress.
@ Warork...I really hope to get you,Kais and Catos into an event very soon...very soon.
I've got a lot of ideas simmering...and I really want to set them in motion.

Oh don't worry you wont have to wait long Fitzz...this battle might even happen right out on the tarmac...
In fact...lemme get something up here soon...
Now I just need Kais to get back here...darn him...disappearing at the most inopportune times...

Next thing you know Cass is going to die because not only is he a kid, but he's also a puppy so that's doubly sad. Now I know that Claudia was supposed to be abducted in the beginning so I'll wait to see what Mordo does with that first.
Okay, nice post Warork, but I would like to say that Dez isn't at the aiport, hes still in his office at the Necromancer place, trying to sort all his gak out...
... so, now I assume the event intro will take place...

@ Warork...Right you are...what I'll do is post up the intro and if I haven't received Action PM's from them by tomorrow...well...then I'll just act for them.
Well sorta, been off a lot, shop refit has really thrown a spanner in the works, had no PC at work for three days, and unable to login at work till tonight.
Still another week of chaos, but I am going to get stuff up asap, working on the last paragraph of number seven atm, will post it shortly.
It's not like FITZZ had a life, 2 kids, a wife, and a job, or anything.
I think you should have used the word "has" instead of "had" Chowder, I would hope that Fitzz still has a wife, a job, and two children since he last posted.

...Well...yeah...they were all home when I got here... ...just had a bunch of RL stuff that needed doing...it happens from time to time... ...Anyway, I've got all the event PMs and will do the write up sometime tomorrow as I'm really just to worn out to do it tonight.

BTW...does anyone know if Ineptus has left the building yet?...If he has I may just have to decide his characters actions myself...or have Warork do it.
Shop refit is still slowing me down, but I will get things sorted asap, once the intro is complete, I'll get Scarlett moving, fortunately, where she'll be starting means being late to the party, will make a lot of sense.

Thanks MDS...I'd really like to see what else you've got planned as I'm loving what you've done so far.
I wouldn't call it " Atlas hate"...Harlow is making perfect sense with his actions as a Loyalist to the throne..
He's just lost several friends and allies, and Atlas and Belle are both connected to Dez, the LB and were in the company of Vampires...all of which would be considered enemies of Lycan kind.
Remember...this is war, and as far as Natasha is concerned..Atlas and Belle have been cooperating with traitors and enemies...at the very least.
Pretty nice RP there Kais...I do like the fact that Atlas is a bit of a mystery and is cloudy on his past...gives him lots of room to develop...
But, I am a bit confused about one thing...as Atlas grew up in the crooked world, born of a pack that was on the run from vampires...it would seem to me that he ( Atlas') insticts would be to hate Vampires even more than a " normal" wolf...if you follow.
... but, as much as he may hate them, he was forced to cooperate with Valentin so he can try and get to Natasha through the LB...
... he found he could work with Valentin, and can therefore believe that Vampires can be different...
... and also, he doesn't know its a sort of "rule" to hate Vampires...
Less a " rule" and more of a natural reaction for most wolves...but it can be supressed in some cases...most wolves ( particularly those who tend to be very aggresive and powerful) find it extreamly distasteful simply to be in the presence of Vampires, their natural instinct is to rip the lesser( in their view) predator apart.

Yeah, I've been downing chicken soup, orange juice and NyQuil...delicious combination BTW...so I should be fine.
Just need to stay out of the cold and wet ( which is all it's been in my neck of the woods lately) until I get on top of it.
Whenever I get sick I tend to just let it blow over and act like a man. Nothing cures my cold faster than putting in a couple of fence posts in the rain.
By cure I mean replacing what I have with something else. No more cold, but I did manage to get hypothermia.

Suit yourself, if you ever want to get in on this hot hole action I always have an extra shovel at the ready.

Better, seem to be getting on top of the cold...of course I'm now miffed about some political/social debates I've recently engaged in...but that's another story all together....
Anyway, should have a write up posted shortly...
...Well, I don't know if things will " work out"....other than avoiding discussions of ...anything...with the more " conservative" people I work with...which is honestly quite appealing to me at the moment.
Anyway...not important...off to do write ups and take out some pent up frustrations in our little "imaginary world"...
I'm also planning to attempt to jump start things at the Network compound...opening the portal...etc.
Have to see what happens from there...could turn real ugly real fast...haven't decided yet.

Damn straight Warork, I'm irresponsible enough to get my own PCs killed on my own. I don't need no stinking GM handouts!
... just want to say I would have thought that Harlow would have thought it important to tell Natasha that Atlas was a pureblood...
... Right now Atlas' claims of being a Pure Blood are based on his own speculations...Harlow would have no reason to pass on unconfirmed information to Natasha.

That's correct, and that is a matter I will discuss...sorta...in my next post...
Shas'ui T'au Kais wrote:... there is always the blood test...
... simply slash your arm, let the blood run freely, take a sniff, and if it smells a little funny and pure, BAM!
Congragulations, you now know your a Pureblood...
I think that more depends on the experience of the wolf who's testing it...To my knowledge, Jarin is the only wolf here to test in that way, Harlow, not being experienced in that sort of thing and being not nearly as old as Jarin...probably wouldn't be able to discern...
Yeah, but I have already planned Atlas grabbing a knife, holding it high in the air causing everybody to go into a panic, before slashing his arm and holding it out Natasha...
"Here, darling, have a sniff!"
But I thought it worked with any wolf, as long as they could tell the difference...

When it comes to these technical questions I think its best to be considered on a case by case basis...I considered Harlow's case and made a conclusion based on it...Besides, I'm sure the truth will be revealed when the time comes...
I think that in order to test for pure-bloodity one has to put their blood into a petri dish and then apply a heated piece of metal to it. If the blood sizzles then you're not a pureblood, if the blood jumps in reaction then you are a pureblood.
Well...still no RP's from either darksage or bereserkersteve...so...sometime today I suppose I'll be co-opting their characters and just doing some sort of Network compound "portal opening" myself...
Also nothing much from silly or Chowder lately either....so...bleh...not sure what to do with that.

Natasha: *grins* "Oh hes a Pure Blood... he's going to be very useful indeed!"
Erzuli: *look of sheer horror* "Think I may have left an experiment on..." *runs for the hills*

That was after she'd had her wicked (very wicked btw... harsh!) way with him! But hey if she does so decide he needs to die, Erzuli may be all to happy to volunteer to help!
Not that she has a problem with becoming a mother or anything...

See Natasha and Erzuli could take turns ( not like that...well...maybe not like that) with dealing with Atlas....by the time they finished he'd just be a quivering pile of mutilated wolf with a sheep's head grafted to his butt and two party whistles jammed up his nose.

And... there goes my cola.
Which nose btw.. choices, choices?
Considering Erzuli's fondness for experiments...poor Atlas could end up with a dozen noses...each with party whistles jammed into them mind you...Natasha and Erzuli would the take turns bashing him over the head ( wherever that may be) with a 3 foot salami so that he tweets out the entire score of West side story.

Couldn't tell you why people keep going on vacation at the same time...personally, I blame Regan..
I think Natasha would understand what he had to do to survive, that he has had no tutoring whatsoever in Lycan culture, and is still trying to fething understand his past...

I don't have a target on his, or any of your character's heads Kais. The basis of the joke for me, was Erzuli's severe aversion to her 'duty' to make the Great Wolf, not Atlas... plus her extensive tendancy to experiment in silly, Frankenstein-like ways. I have no current plans to kill, maim or otherwise harm him. (Erzuli doesn't even know he exsists.)

No harm Intended Kais...all in fun, I certainly have no plans to allow any sorts of sheep to buttocks fusion experiments to be performed on Atlas.
@Shas...I dunno Shas...your characters are always just easy to laugh at...just like whenever something bad happens to Andy the joke is "It can't get any worse for him...wait...sure it can!"
Just be glad you have a part in making us all smile, we're just fooling with ya...laugh at it as you would one of Halo's silly posts...don't take it so personally...

If you mean IC, your PC IS the cause of my PC's friends deaths. so he's a bit miffed. it seems trouble follows you.
@ Kais....Relax man, no need to get bent out of shape over a bit of ribbing...every one here has taken the piss with everyone else at some time or the other ( how many times have folks called Natasha a deranged slut...lots)...no one character is above reproach...
And, as for Atlas being responsible for any characters getting killed....well...If they'd not been searching for him and the traitors...they'd still be alive, so yeah...partial responsibility.
If a group of cops are searching for perpetraors/criminals....and some of those cops are killed during that search...even if it's not neccisarily by those they were searching for...those they were searching for are still likely to be held responsible....simply how it goes.
Going to try to get something up tonight/tomorrow. I had to write 3 essays in one hour so I'm in no writing mood, but I wrote a poem before the test so I have some creativity left.

Yeah, old Kraubsie really needs to learn to relax a bit....if his constant purging doesn't do him in...his high blood pressure will.
He's a straight up puritanical Inquisitor...he's so bad he gives the crusades a bad name...

I was thinking something more along the lines of battle his way through some horrid situation., fight his way to the top of some ruined building, save Wendy..kill his enemies...then slip and fall down a flight of steps or stumble off the roof and impale himself on a fence below.

Will try and get something up soon, won't be a for a few days mind, FITZZ knows why and its also the reason I've been pretty sloppy the past few weeks, other things on my mind. Oh and PM incoming on that FITZZ.
I am however looking at three weeks off, a weeks holiday and two extra weeks I seem to be owed by the govement, I think thats enough of a hint for anyone to guess if they are so inclined.
Also don't expect to see Aurelia post for a few days.
Ok, one write up down, setting up the stage for some big " wolf" events..
..Also plan to do an intro for a " Network compound" event today as well...
Plus a few other goodies...stay tuned.
Well, you could do what most bored prisoners do and scratch the number of minutes or hours in tallies on your cell walls...or o that little clangy thing with the cup on the bars...
Use the time to reflect? Post up a flashback? Get ready to meet the Queen?
Yeah..I'm still waiting on a few post before I start an event.
...and I'll most likely be doing some sort of Natasha back at the Den write up soon as well, which will involve meeting with Atlas.

There are plenty of things to do...
Especially if you have two hands... no, not that, I was thinking about crocheting.

"Oh this hat? Yes I made it with crochet. From what you ask? Well little Cass sheds a lot so we have a lot of fur just laying around, I figured that I might as well make a use out of it. Better than Erzuli in my opinion, she just made a voodoo doll of the pup in case he got too frisky. What a prude."

I believe that there might...just might mind you ..be a few "loopholes" in that plan.
You know Fitzz, I've been playing Skyrim and they have some pretty neat werewolf and vamp lore as well. There's a small little book in the game called "Werewolf Physicalities" and that says that a werewolf's heart grows before the skeletal structure which is why some people afflicted with the disease complain about it...
But guess what else, they have a group of werewolf hunters in the game too. They're called the Silver Hand. I think its safe to say that any group with "Hand" in the name is aimed at killing werewolves now.
Lots going on with Turkey Day today...so I obviously won't be doing much in the way of write ups..etc..
...Still waiting on some RP's from some of you before I move on with the story.
Ok folks, I'm really hoping that with the end of Thanksgiving holidays we can get some RP's up and get things moving again, if not I may consider shelving this whole RP until after Christmas.
Right now I'm kind of sick with a nice little chest cold, but I promise that when I get home later today I'll do an RP of my group heading out to some direction.
Alright, for those who aren't in the know, Fitzz will certainly not be around for awhile. Now I don't know much about this game, but it's reputation speaks for itself.
I may be taking liberties, but if you all want this fine wagon to keep on rolling, then a temporary GM might be in order, until Fitzz has the time and mind to dedicate to this.
Yeah, sorry for not posting much, I've been pretty depressed and trying to shoulder way more stuff than I am responsible for lately and dakka is too much a of a hassle to log onto.

Personally I don't think a substitute GM is going to help us here...we're missing some major players due to RL anyway...might as well do what Fitzz suggested and let this one rest until at least after Christmas, its not going anywhere until conditions are better unfortunately...

And I don't think anyone could replace FITZZ.
My dear Chowder, I never once used the word replace. I mean, replace and Fitzz should never been in a sentence together unless the words "president" and "united states of america" are also in it.

Well, I won't take any liberties by revealing what he's told me but.. suffice to say, we may not be seeing dear old Fitzz for awhile.. poor guy's got a lot to sort out.
The Walrus sends his deepest regards towards the clown, in hopes that all will turn out well in the end.
In regards to the actual RP, I'm afraid there's not much we can do at the moment other than wait. Darko, you appear to be in some kind of contact with FITZZ, perhaps you could ask him what he would like us to do in regards to a possible temp GM, if we should do anything of that sort at all.
Now, if you're still craving horror, I've opened up a planning thread for my own horror RP 'Solipsism' in the Basement. I hope to launch Saturday, and would be pleased if you all gave it a look.
Most of the people who have stayed play a god role. Mordo seems to be back which is a good thing because part of the story can be continued that way. Unfortunately the issue comes down to events in the game. I was planning on sending my group to the Network portal and try to shut that down and I think Fitzz was trying to do some things there with Natasha.
Silly and the rest of the guys in the Crooked World haven't been doing too much so that right there is a dead spot until we can get some more active players in there to speak for them and temporarily hijack their characters.
I think that we can use this bit of downtime for dialogue, preparation if we get a temp GM in, or to let some others catch up to where we are. I think Suzie is a few months behind the rest of us storywise for example.
If we do have someone temp as GM then I would say, and I shudder when I do, that Mordo would be the most capable. Not only can he weave a fine tale, but he has proven time and time again that he is good at screwing people over... that and he and Fitzz seem to have cooperated a lot on certain ideas during the RP.
But it all depends on everything in RL. It sounds like Fitzz is being dragged over coals right now in RL and the only thing that a lot of us can do is just hope for the best for him and his family.
Why, thank you Nachos. Whilst I am honored to have myself nominated as a temp, I feel we should not act until we get some kind of word from FITZZ. I would rather he not return to find the story going in a direction he did not expect. However, I could run the game for a bit, focussing on a side-plot rather than the main one, but only if you the players decide unanimously upon it.
Exactly, that's why I said "if". Fitzz has been the type of GM who actually runs the game so that's why its such a punch to the RP's gut during his absence. Without Fitzz it wouldn't feel like Blood Moon so I think that the major plot shouldn't be touched in his absence and I agree with you full heartedly on that. However you currently have one of my NPCs hostage...
I can do a few RP's without FITZZ. He knows when to start my Event, so I'll leave it off there.
The issue, however, is that I have Silly's two characters and have no idea what t do with them. I can do them, but possibly you can as well, Halo. You did Vegas 2nd best, after Silly of course.
I did Vegas well, but not too sure about Crooked Vegas although she seems to be a little bit similar to Vegas. I am also hesitant seeing as though I kind of got the original Vegas killed by accident.
I'm mostly for waiting unless we can do some mostly fluff RPs. If Fitzz does come back I don't want him to have to do too much pick up and feel like he's been kicked out of the RP. Its something personal, this RP is his baby and if we decide to continue on then its like we're kidnapping it.
Hm, off-topic but I just remembered I was planning on reminding you of your unused basement account, Halon. You might want to give it another look. (If you do.. please, change your theme to Mercury in the control panel to view it as intended)
halonachos wrote:You know the thing with that account is that the website isn't memorable for me. I don't favorite anything and DakkaDakka is easy to remember.
Will have to go back though. Where's the control panel on the site?
Everything's along the top for me..

My work just picked up, working 30 hours this week on top of 14 hours of school credits. Doesn't help that my shifts are 4pm-12am(get home at about 12:30am) and I have to go to class at 8am, follow that with waking up and showering and a 30minute commute to school... so I get up at 6am and I am currently battling a chest cold. That being said I will try to get with Mordo on doing a little side story involving my rabble of free ghouls and Claudia.
That being said, I have not PM'ed Mordo anything about this, but plan to eventually before the week is over.

why does this not surprise me?
What part doesn't surprise you?
In other news I just found out today that I am in the clear because I presented enough evidence to disprove what he was accusing me of. He had said that I was trying to circumvent the attendance policy because my remote for class(we use a little IR clicker to show attendance) showed that I was there but at the end he collected signatures on paper and mine was missing. I told him that what most likely happened(couldn't remember because this happened Nov. 2 according to him) is that I got there late and left early because I had a test for the class's lab right after. His own proof showed that I had 1 point in the beggining, 12 in the middle, and 0 at the end and I brought in bank statements showing that I made a purchase at one of the food places on campus that day. In the end I was cleared of all charges, like a boss. I mean seriously, I have a 90 in the class, I don't need to cheat for attendance points that don't mean a thing.
Anywho, does anybody want to put up a vote to see if we should try a side story to keep the story relatively new in our heads?

I wouldn't mind seeing that if only to keep the RP thread from sinking into the depths...
That's what I'm thinking, a little expansion that won't mean too much to the actual story. Maybe pick a time and do a big flashback, vampires of course can be there if they are that old, same with wolves, hunters would pick ancestors and so would any wolf or vamp too young to have been around.

I can see that...It would involve a lot of focusing on not advancing the timeline a lot, and would probably involve exploring what the characters do when they aren't killing each other...
But If we're looking for flashbacks then I can do that seeing as they make up 60% of my posts anyway...
I was just thinking about having an RP set in the past to show how some of the characters in the current one came to be. To be honest I've been watching a lot of western movies and playing Skyrim so I'm itching for an excuse to have a mini-rp set in the Wild West or something. Andy has some ancestors there and I think an alcoholic, irish, cavalry officer, yankee would be fun to RP.

I could totally do that considering Harlow's past and his family comes from a western setting...that would work perfectly...
I also think Mordo mentioned something about setting an RP in this universe during the first world war...
Trench warfare with werewolves and vampires sounds fun, let's see who's interested and then see if we want to make a different thread or keep it in the same. If we do keep it in the same thread we need to label each one as being part of a different story.
Simple, you fudge it.. either have almost unbelievable moments of fate/luck to prevent their demise or keep an eye on how far you push them on the mortality stakes. Also don't forget Vampires can take serious wounds, and go into the torpor like state we have nabbed (referenced) as used in WoD, to recooperate over time. Werewolves could drag themselves off, for healing as well, so serious wounds could occur, give more disharmony between certain individuals with no actual threat to the main game.
Folks could also make up additional temp npc's, that if they die they go with no issues, or if they survive are someone for FITZZ or the player to reference back in the modern nights later on.
Hunters are the odd ones out as they aren't old enough to be there, but Grandfathers, Uncles, distant relatives, or totally different characters just for fun and potential atagonists for the modern nights could happily take their place.

But what if PCs start dying and create paradoxes???
Easy, we remain quite careful and don't put our characters into any situation where they die...that means if something comes up where PCs are in conflict (preferably not though) we'll just have to work it out...
This also works for me because I've already written a piece in BMII about Harlow being in WWI...I have unwittingly covered all my bases with all of these background posts I've done...
I think that events will have some sort of plot armor involved, just because we know that a character has to make it through doesn't mean the character is going to make it through without being hurt a bit. It also doesn't mean the RP can't be fun if we know that Harlow has to survive any and all encounters for example, we can still make memorable RPs.
I think that this should all be for fun and not continue the story so events should be lower key than the actual RP. That way the characters who are already in the RP will survive and have their backgrounds fleshed out while we avoid making drastic changes to the actual RP.

... could always use Carl, he would be alive at that time...
... of course, I could always have Atlas' father (the Crooked World, wolf king, well, presently, before he died), and have him as a char, although I will have to have some Crooked World fluff for it, so I stay in check...
Update: Two more finals, one I need to study for on Thursday and the other is an Art History one that I have a 101 in with no notes taken this semester. So After 5pm on thursday I'm good to go.
To keep the status quo, and to keep us in RPing shape. This is not a replacement for Blood Moon, keeping the story and characters alive for awhile and having fun.
Well done on that Nachos. 
...Good to see I haven't lost my touch.
