forbarrayar_ooc | [ march ooc mingling post ]

Hey all and welcome to For Barrayar! We'll be getting the OOC info/signups post for the first half of March's plot up soon, as well as the March 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.

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. The March I log will probably go up on the 2nd due to time constraints because February was a short month 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, all! I'm El and I'm bringing in Kurt-051 from the Halo series. He's pretty much an ex-child soldier who was brainwashed and kidnapped by the military to become the perfect soldier humanity could produce. Then he got kidnapped into yet another government black bag op and has spent the last twenty years raising NEW crops of brainwashed child-soldiers for a war against an alien race bent on humanity's destruction.

He's TOTALLY a good guy. Yeah. Absolutely. Look, it's complicated. He's going to be a complete fish out of water on the Ceta side because he can barely human much less handle things like super deep cultural appreciation for the arts. I'm totally looking forward to this ridiculousness.

I'm on plurk

lightofdawn but also on the discord chat as well so if you want anything to do with him, feel free to hit me up there or via PM's. I can't wait to dive into this game and am seriously looking forward to all the CR and playing with you fine folks.

HI EL i'm chels and i love kurt and also halo so i am ridiculously excited to have you in the game. smashing spartans and freelancers together is my jam.

would you mind if i add you on plurk?

omg yes, please do! Let's scream over Spartans and Freelancers so we can languish in feels together.

shakes excitedly at!!

Eeeee this is going to be so much fun. I guess since ya'll left York behind, Kurt is going to have to make his own Freelancer buddy all on his own, eh?

my only regret is that wash isn't still there so he can't sideye kurt intensely and be super fucking bitter about him once he learns he's a spartan

AND HEY YOU LEAVE YORK ALONE OR SOMETHING

Pffft Wash, save your side-eye for when you learn what a secret shitheel he REALLY is. Wow why so bitter towards Spartans, little Freelancer buddy?

LOOK, HE NEEDS FRIENDS, OKAY.

he is not your buddy!! fucking!! spartans!!

YORK DOESN'T NEED A SPARTAN FRIEND

Wow, you must be ex-ODST or something. What's your beef with Spartans? SMH

Well, if THIS is the quality of his friends, maybe he does. :T

it's not like the fls are basically reject spartans or anything definitely not bitter nOT BITTER

but yes i am so excited... for them to eventually meet... sometime...

Wooow. Look, sorry you weren't special enough to get kidnapped, experimented on and put through the worst training humanity ever came up with. Sorry, how many of your PFL pals died or were crippled in your AI implantation procedures again? Oh WAIT you actually got to sign a consent form to be illegally experimented on? Pffffffffffft. Being a Spartan is TOTALLY a cakewalk and totally worth being bitter over.

I'm sooooo excited for them to meet. Sadly, Kurt would never say any of that stuff to Wash but man, he'd totally be thinking it. It should be interesting to see what happens when/if they can meet.

he knows literally none of it is your fault and he's grateful those other spartans Saved Humanity and all that but because that shit worked you are now a living example of someone that shitheads like the director will continue to point at to justify their fucked up shit and grand visions to save the world and whatever and he will PROJECT THIS UPON YOU NO MATTER HOW UNREASONABLE HE KNOWS IT IS

also all that stuff about you guys being inhuman monsters and killing some odsts that's a thing too.

it will be amaaazing especially because i think it still might take wash a bit to figure out that that's a spartan and when he does hO BOY. not to mention kurt finding out about pfl, too . . .

Aaaahhhhh, I look forward to his fumbling with Ceta culture. :3

omg Ana, I'm so excited. Words cannot convey. York, you feel like being a cultural translator for a dude whose idea of culture begins and ends with the studying of ancient warfare and weapons of antiquity?

Haha I'm not sure how useful he'll be, he's not really into the Cetagandan art and poetry scene himself. You need to talk to Symmetra.

Eh LBR, it's not going to be Kurt's scene either and he's doing to be side-eyeing face paint of the non-camo variety pretty hard core. It's gonna be fun seeing if York can puzzle out just what he is over the course of the game though. I want Spartan vs Freelancer stuff but alas that will prolly not happen overnight. So everyone roll out the popcorn.

I know ZERO about halo (i wiki shit when i need to) so you'll have to guide me a bit as to what he might know 8D;;;

Ahahahah so what I'm hearing is you want me to squeal at you about Halo shit. I'll shoot you a dm on discord would that be easiest? Cause this would fill up this entire entry with a lot of flailing and fangirling on my part.

yes please <3

what york needs to know is that spartans smell

Just gonna sit here judging you forever, Wash. Really? Are you six? Do you need a timeout?

don't you need to go olly olly oxen free yourself somewhere

Psssh, they just let anyone into this game now, don't they?

APPARENTLY SO. They let you in, didn't they? Look, he's WAY less dramatic than the Freelancers, so there's that?

The only question Tucker has is "Will you make me run laps like sooooome people?"
