[ 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!

HI I'M CAROLYN and I'll be bringing William from Westworld to the Barrayar...an (that's so many As)(and I have been drinking) side of this fine mess.

William's been yanked out of really fucking strange vacation at a robot cowboy theme park where he could pretty much do whatever he wanted and was incapable of being hurt. For at least a little while, he'll suspect this is more of the same, and is liable to treat everything like a game. (Which isn't to say he won't be serious HE IS PRETTY SERIOUS ABOUT GAMES.)

He's a normal human from a nebulous future setting whose only real experience fighting for survival is in aforementioned theme park, but he's pretty quick on the uptake and very trainable.

Also he has a robot girlfriend.

LET'S DO TERRIBLE THINGS TOGETHER!!

ps I'm sorry but I will probably wind up spoiling Westworld for you at some point

[littlemissfutility]

THERE WILL BE SO MANY TERRIBLE THINGS TO DO

welcome 2 the shitty version of living off the land, william

[omniavincit]

I mean

it wasn't spectacular before

He won't turn up his nose at perfectly good horse meat, though.

[littlemissfutility]

all this stupid snow tho

anyway, horse is okay but she could go for some raccoon

[omniavincit]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH honestly he's gonna be like hoping this doesn't turn into some kind of cannibalism thing...there is an inordinate amount of cannibalism in Westworld.

[littlemissfutility]

oh dear

lucky beth was prisoner in a hospital while everyone else was nearly eaten, it hasn't entered her mind as a possibility

Okay, a robot theme park sounds amazing. Just laying that out there right now. His brother kinda had a robot boyfriend in a prior Dimension Hopping experience. They're gonna get along great!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, William sounds baller and I'm determined to get some CR with you despite our opposite sides!

[omniavincit]

IT'S PRETTY AMAZING they have a player piano that does radiohead covers.

Yesssssssss I'm sure an opportunity will arise.

[traitorous]

i just finished westworld a couple weeks ago and inhaled so loudly when i saw your reserve. soooo pleased to see william here.

but yes hello i'm chels! welcome to the game.

[omniavincit]

HAHAHAAHAHAHA I'M SO GLAD and thank you! I'm stoked to have him here, I think the game and his CR will have a big impact on him.

[vorrutyer]

HI CAROLYN so I bet what William needs more than anything else is someone who's exactly like his delightful brother-in-law right

[omniavincit]

HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am so ready for this.

[pigsfeet]

i bet theyll get on as great as our characters ever do

[omniavincit]

we'll always have rust and fiona

(...except in the thread where she WON'T LET HIM DIE)

But anyway I can't think of anything about Daryl he'd find particularly objectionable???? It's up to you to change this.

[pigsfeet]

SUICIDE IS FOR QUITTERS

tbh daryl over prioritizes honesty and upfrontery, they might, gasp, get along

[omniavincit]

LIFE IS FOR SUCKERS (just ignore him fiona)

well this will certainly be novel

[pigsfeet]

rust pls

i mean its also worth noting that daryl is a judgmental prick who hates everyone. WHO KNOWS how this will turn out

[omniavincit]

o right because daryl and rust are the same person

plus they might potentially meet while attempting to kill each other or whatever

[pigsfeet]

hey daryl takes a lot less drugs and philosphy courses. they care roughly the same about the venn diagram of small girls and unsightly murder tho!

daryl will spare williams life because he has not yet tasted the joy of horseflesh
