[ february ooc mingling post ]

[barrayarmods]

Hey all and welcome to For Barrayar! We'll be getting the OOC info/signups post for the first half of February's plot up soon, as well as the February Game Update (which details the weather and each side's status and resources for the month), but in the meantime, please feel free to introduce yourselves and get your mingle on! Tell us about yourselves, what you're looking forward to and what you're hoping to do in this game, and just generally get down and friendly with each other. And if you haven't joined the Discord server and would like to, hop on in.

The February I log will go up on the 1st. And if you haven't had a chance to look at the culture pages and want some extra reading material, those go into more depth about the Barrayarans and the Cetagandans.
ETA: The log will probably go up on the 2nd due to time constraints because the OOC post went up late and I unfortunately have a day job.

Also, please note the tagging system -- all of your characters should already have tags (and if they're missing, please let me know), and there are also location tags for the guerilla camp and the Cetagandan base, so please use those for your logs too!

at least she's trying???

[durango]

absolutely

I would not be playing a Trek character appropriately if I didn't

[engineeeugh]

I wanna take bets on how long it will takes before they even figure out they're both here

[mirrortide]

i mean it's pretty sad when you're 6,000+ years old and a small child is your moral compass,

but yes.

""trying""

[engineeeugh]

I HAVE NO IDEA EITHER BUT I'M EXCITED.

I've never been in a game where you were playing Pearl it's so NOVEL.

[engineeeugh]

I'm honestly so glad. I wish I had any sort of prediction for the this CR but I learned my lesson last time....

[natalia_vdova]

Oh, yeah, that's usually how I play it anyway, tbh, so the Haut being super Extra just makes it that much moreso. I'm not sure she'd even comment on it so much as headtilt and have Feelings she tries to ignore having, LIKE YOU DO.

She will happily and gladly do so. She's gonna want to learn ALL about the Cedagandans, and probably start adopting things as she picks things up, because that's what she does. :D

[threemoons]

Considering they are on opposite sides and Darkstalker is about 1 murder away from full on supervillian, I will be shocked if it is anything but negative.

Which I am not complaining about, by any means.

[skelepun]

There's even some other dude named Ratchet here. If Sans hears people talking about a 'Ratchet' he's. going to assume. it's that one.

WHEN WILL THEY FIGURE IT OUT.

[stompadour]

That sounds right up Jasper's street tbh :')

[natalia_vdova]

Well, that all depends on how you tell it. Grif had the right idea, in that regard. They may be idiots, but they seem to somehow fall accidentally into being supercool, too. Ahh, my colorful space marines. love 'em forever. :D

[terrifyingrenegade]

God yeah that's right you haven't

/CLAPS EXCITEDLY

[durango]

you have to start somewhere i guess

[natalia_vdova]

Awesome. And man I loved playing Infiltrator. Although I'll confess that tossing people / robots / everything into the air was my favorite combat tactic in the series, ngl.

But I am so jazzed for things! Maybe they could even run into each other in the discernment garden or something. I want Nat to get into all the hijinks.

[natalia_vdova]

Excellent!! I can't wait to make this happen. :D

[natalia_vdova]

Oh, that'll be great! Nat can be all trying to give her a bit of calm, even as admitting that losing senses sucks x100. Nat had all her genetically improved peak human nonsense taken away so she feels vaguely deaf and blind, etc. XD

She understands! Let's just.. be chill about this okok.

[natalia_vdova]

Oh, that's interesting and good to know. I might have to look around at some stuff! It just looks like so much fun, even if I would without a doubt play Widowmaker because I am 100% that predictable.

Yeah, Nat's gonna hear the rhetoric of "barbarians in need of saving" and just be all "so I know bullshit when I hear it" so that'll be fun. She'll probably lead with getting a sense for peoples' feelings and figure out where she can use them, but there will be poking too. :D

(Ohman, she'd be so interested. Please tell her about your cool things. :> )

[starsneverpay]

Hahah, it's very small world. I feel like we all know each other through someone else in dwrp family in general. :>

Mnnn yeah, Twisty the Clown sure was a thing. But luckily he wasn't around too much (and you almost weep for him???) but I do approve, it's the best season out of the series what I've seen.

Elsa basically is a huge diva with huge ego and narcissistic tendencies. I'm sure they'll get along smoothly

[starsneverpay]

Hello Possum! We've never played together but I think I saw you on Savrou as Peridot, right? I'm Jenni and I play J there.

Anyway, I'm super excited to see these gem rocks on this game. Pearl is one of my favs and definitely great addition to Barrayar. I'll be playing Elsa Mars from American Horror Story there :D

[starsneverpay]

Well well.

Look what we have here.

[starsneverpay]

God I hope their doors are big enough.

HELLO HARRY. We finally (???) meet. I've seen you plenty of times around plurk even tho I'm not sure if we've ever talked? I'm Jenni and to play J in Savrou. Here in FB I play Elsa Mars from American Horror Story.

:> welcomeeeee

[lovernotafighter]

Sometimes, I think Grif is the smartest one out of all of them. Gotta love them!!

[standsentinel]

Hiiiii... I think I already have you on Plurk, but hi on here!

Kaidan is going to need to know all about this hard-light technology, because hello displaced tech nerd.

He is also probably going to be yet another person having Philosophical Debates with her about the Cetagandans and their aims, so do I take a number?

[symmetricks]

YES, someone to talk shop with, that will be a welcome respite from all the--

Oh, you too? Really?

/sigh

You people are so backward.

[standsentinel]

Hey now, he doesn't object to helping cultures advance, you just can't steamroll in and replace their culture with yours. It never ends well, and sometimes you get Reapers.

...of the non-Overwatch kind.
