forbarrayar_ooc | [ february ooc mingling post ]

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!

It's me I'm here I'm Possum, and I'm bringing you Pearl of Steven Universe fame. She's another one of those dang space rock aliens who's going to have to cope w/ suddenly being human, which should be terrible because she has a serious aversion to food and like.... Every single organic bodily function ever? Save her

She's gonna be fighting 4 barry which is great because she has several thousand years worth of experience fighting against The Man and generally just being a smug-ass rebel.

My plurk is

awkwardpossum if you would like to add me for plotting purposes, just please be aware that it's not an RP specific plurk! So you're gonna get some personal junk in between the game talk. Soz.

gross

Says the gem who fused with a corruption and got rock STDs

wow!!!! still better than you!!!

Say that to her face motherfucker and not online see what happens

she will headbutt you vertically downwards into this gross planet's nasty ass snow crust

You think so but

Which gem here is the only one who actually had to train and polish her skills in order to be able to fight, instead of just being manufactured to be a 9 foot tall wall of brute force

booooooo

Um excuse

what did she ever do to you, Lapis

kept her trapped in a mirror for 5,000 years inside your head

but i guess that's easy to forget when you're

not the one trapped

Look

At the Gem who kept her trapped???

SURE AM

UM OK BUT SHE ALSO HELPED SAVE YOUR ASS FROM BEING STUCK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN IN A HORRIBLE FUSION SO

TOTALLY! EVENS OUT!!

five. thousand years.

i have a need

You gotta get your ass over to the fightin' for Barry side, my dude

Welcome to the game! I'm Dove, and I play Beth from The Walking Dead, who's also Barrayaran but a little more on the survival end of the spectrum, rather than the smug rebel side. SO I THINK THIS SHOULD BE FUN.

HI DOVE nice to meet you c:

Beth please teach Pearl how to function as a meat creature kthanks

HI THERE I'm Carolyn and I have another Barrayar newb whose resistance resume isn't as impressive but he knows how to eat, so there's that.

Pearl sounds amazing and he will probably be concerned/fascinated by her. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AROUND.

HEY THANKS, likewise! c:

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, I suppose. Knowledge of eating is a pretty basic but crucial one :')

HI HI HI Byerly and Pearl are not going to get along AT ALL.

DSFKLmsdflksd oh GOOD

Thats the stuff I like to hear :')

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

HI JENNI sorry I. Totally failed to respond to this orz

Yup I was Peridot at Sav! Excited to be in a game with you again, I was always kind of sad that I never got around to hitting J up for CR but I always heard great things about you from Betsy and Em c:
