[ 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!

Hello, everyone! My name is Vee, and I'll be bringing in Tucker, another one of those colorful space marine Red vs Blue types. Only he's, you know, waaaay less dramatic and less effective than his Freelancer counterparts. Tucker is also ridiculously inappropriate, sarcastic, hits on anything with a heartbeat, likes to talk up his own skills, and is the single father-mother to one completely awesome alien son.

Yeah, he's a little different than the rest of them. But he's got a good heart, he's loyal to his friends, and one perceptive little s.o.b.. So, if you can tolerate the rest of the mess that he is, he's not bad to have around, although probably in small doses.

The best way to reach me is probably on plurk, veelynn, or by PM. I'm so happy to be here and I've been looking forward to this all month, you have no idea! Thank you so much for including me, and I hope we can all have some amazing threads together!

These two nerds need to meet so badly. I can't wait!! Thanks for letting me know about this awesome game!

[vorrutyer]

Hello, new Barryaran! I'm looking forward to playing with you too! I'm Hope, and I play Byerly, who is also inappropriate, sarcastic, and hits on anything with a heartbeat. I see these two getting along, um...well? Poorly? It's really hard to guess. Could go either way. I'm excited for it.

[infailtration]

soon! plot stuff is happening!

[lovernotafighter]

Sooo excited! I can't wait!

[lovernotafighter]

Hi, Hope! It's a pleasure to meet you! And yes, judging from the description, it can either be totally kindred spirits or an oil and water sort of thing. I'm excited to explore it and find out, though! The not-knowing is the best part!

[traitorous]

oh man i am so pleased that tucker is on barrayar /RUBS HANDS TOGETHER IN ANTICIPATION

hello, vee! i'm chels and i obviously play maine. would you mind if i add you on plurk?

[lovernotafighter]

I'm so ungodly excited about this! NOTHING TO SEE HERE! Just totally stabbed your growly ass with my sword while you tried to kill us all! Only, you know, it wasn't you, but it really was you, and...just fuck my life so hard.

YES! Please do! But only if I can add you back!

'SUP!

My name is Em, and I'm bringing Sans, that skeleton from Undertale who's so popular with the kids. He's a weird bone man who now has a bunch of flesh on him. Gross. He could not be further from human in his regular form, so it'll be fun having to learn the ropes of, y'know. Breathing! To live! Who does that??

Sans is your average lazy, mysterious dude with Secrets. Though without his magic and with his new body, he's gonna be a little more fumbling than usual. One thing he's holding onto is a genuine love of science! Not to mention some experience with the whole Worldhopping thing, as he's a CRAU from thisavrou. I detail a few development quirks in his app, which you're welcome to look through! It's honestly not that much. Last thing he remembers, he was on a small space ship, trying to figure out how to get home to his brother. Now he's here. But this guy's used to negative progress it's cool.

He'll be on the Cetaganda side, so I'm really excited to get to know everyone both there and on Barrayar! Feel free to add me on safelybeds, that is if I don't get to you first...!

For reference: Upon arrival, Sans looks like this now. Your basic human, except with black sclera and white pupils! He's also got a crummy immune system and a bad sense of humor, so instead of actually showing his face you're usually gonna find him wearing one of these. He drew the smile on himself.

[mirrortide]

hi5 at shitty immune systems

[dendarii]

HELL SANS I hear you were buds with another Miles. They def need to meet despite being on opposing sides.

[skelepun]

do you want him to draw a cool mask for you, lapdance

[skelepun]

HELL INDEED MY FRIEND. HELL INDEED.

you are going to confuse him so much and it's going to be terrible. i honestly cannot wait. He'd recognize Miles in a heartbeat even across enemy lines (you don't really... forget a guy with that face), so this basically has to happen.

[mirrortide]

always????

i cant wait to see how these two manage to piss of the cetas im excited

who wants to send some chain emails

[skelepun]

TUCKER...!! My favorite colorful space army nerd. I can't wait to play with you, even if we are on opposing sides!

[dendarii]

WHOOPS forgot a letter. gg me.

Awesome. This is gonna be fun.

[skelepun]

be careful what you wish for my friend. and also. *this guy right here*.

[skelepun]

don't worry, the typo was much more accurate

[starsneverpay]

Hello Vee and welcome! :> I'm Jenni and I play Elsa Mars from American Horror Story. I think I've seen you around our mutual friends' plurks??

I'm canon blind to Red vs. Blue but Tucker sounds interesting character, a good shitty talker. :> Gotta love the inappropriate ones hahah. :>

[starsneverpay]

Hi Em. :)

See you on the other side of the war.

[skelepun]

i'll be over here, brainstorming literally every single barrayar pun i can

a thought: since miles is here but older, i think sans might assume that elsa is j. but older.

[mirrortide]

its beautiful, i love it, she'll wear it immediately

[skelepun]

good
