@ Local Prosecutor: When someone kills someone else as part of the commission of a crime, it is absolutely not self defense, pretty much ever. The statutes say so. The courts have said so. What are you, new here?

Fuck that. I want to fuck my demons and all I want right now is some sangria.

And fish tacos.

@aria Tybalt looks like a fine gentleman in need of a monocle.

@rook said in PBs You Haven't Had a Chance to Use:

If you're that triggered by sex and nakedness, who knows what else triggers you. Talking about Jesus/Muhammed/Buddha? Talking about drinking beer while RPing? Mention of your favorite celebrity/author/TV show? Chevy vs Ford vs Toyota? Coke vs Pepsi?

Dancing?!?

George Winston is the lone survivor. He is Mrs. Faceless's remaining companion as George's sister moved on a couple years ago. He's become an old man and is beginning to let himself go. He's dropping weight and he's just not as spry as he once was. He's still a dapper gentleman of leisure, however. He's also exceptionally gentle with my very hands-on toddler. Two years and a couple months without a single incident! Go George!

When he moves on, then I will finally have a dog once more. I've refrained from taking on a dog because I know that Mrs. Faceless's cats wouldn't handle it well and I'm all about the harmony of my household, so no pooch for me. @Darinelle has been telling me the breed to get and I think @Kanye-Qwest's images of Braum that I've shown to Mrs. Faceless, may have sealed the deal.

Been sick as hell the past few days. On the upswing. Mrs. Faceless wandered in last night with a big ass thing of eggnog and was like 'if you stop being a punk ass and start feeling better, you can have this'.

My goal is to be back to fighting shape by tomorrow afternoon. Daddy needs his nog fix.

This is one that I've been wanting to use for a few years now. Every game I come up with a concept to use him for, but I never get around to doing it. At some point I'll use him on Arx, I keep telling myself.

I'll use a PDF if necessary or if it's something I'm not really invested in, but I tend toward physical copies. So I tend to buy my books. I have a couple shelves full of Star Wars Sagas, oWoD, nWoD, and D&D books. Really for me it's just that I feel like I memorize the information better with a physical book in my hands. And like @saosmash said, a hard copy is just nice to have available when you've gotta hit the head.

I love books. I love the feel, the smell of them, and just the sheer act of reading a book in your own hands. So I can get by with a PDF. I shifted a few of my PDF format books over to my ipad, would lay all around, in bed, bathroom, wherever and try to read them but it was never really successful for me. Added to all of that, I also don't really do audio books. If I can get my hands on a hard copy, then I will.

A book in my hands causes a reaction for my heart, similar to a cat's butt as it's preparing it's kitty-cat engine for a pounce.

Tactics I never could get into.

Update.

Mrs. Faceless's former employer had their Christmas party on Friday night.

One employee spent quite a bit of their time walking around with their phone doing that new-fangled FaceTime thingymabob with Mrs. Faceless, so everyone could see her.

At one point there was a slide show. One of those: This Year In the Company! sort of things.

Mrs. Faceless was the focus of 20% of the slides. 4/20 slides. Dedicated to her.

She was informed that it was done intentionally because the group who arranged the slides knew that people missed her and that it would make certain people uncomfortable.

Mrs. Faceless laughed long and hard. I think this was a little bit of closure that she was in need of, which is good.

I felt the need to share these two short stories because these little acts of passive aggressiveness by her former colleagues are pretty damn great.

$30, maybe.

@SG Actually, I'm going to amend that. I'd say it's worth $35. Simply because of Reinhardt. That's muh dawg.

@sg It does, yes. It's okay. Repetitive. High intensity, usually, which is one of it's bigger selling points, I think. Overall it's a fun FPS arena-style game, but $60 or whatever it costs? I wouldn't go that far. $30, maybe.

I think I picked it up sometime over the summer for about $35-40.

I can't recall if it's been mentioned in this thread previously, but Destiny 2 has trial play available now. Up to level 8.

I meant to put that here, but whatever. Here it is.

I can't recall if it's been mentioned in this thread previously, but Destiny 2 has trial play available now. Up to level 8.

Downloaded it, gave it a shot, aaaaand now I own Destiny 2. I'm kind of in love with Titans and their lore.

Warwick on The Reach.
Gabriel on Arx

I remember a few interactions with Warwick, but what I remember most? Running the same meeting(s), twice in a day, to account for non-U.S. time zones. We bumped into one another from time to time, but ultimately we ran in different circles.

Gabriel though? I'll always remember you as Gabriel. So much was said between Gabriel and his pseudo pupil, without the need to speak. They were just fun to throw together and see them staring at one another, stoic and stern, but holding varying levels of respect for one another.

It was the night that Alaric woke up and Gabriel came marching into King Turnip's room, my character intercepted him in order to prevent him from getting too close given the nature of the situation - suddenly assassins, of any variety and stripe(or face), became a much more real threat to him that night. That's a scene that I remember very fondly and will be cemented in my head as a great Gabriel-Rybread scene, on top of all the other planning, advising, and most importantly instructing scenes. There was no 'OMG EYE R TEH REGENT!' or OOC nonsense, it was all kept IC and we rolled with it. Two unyielding figures facing one another down. There was an unspoken understanding there and their respective reasons.

Rybread will proudly tell people that he learned a great deal about command, strategy, and the like from Gabriel.

I really miss Gabriel with you at the helm.

@darinelle said in Characters You Enjoyed Playing:

Don't worry. She still doesn't want to fuck Gordon, wherever she is now.

Good, because as he assured: he had no interest in her either and she didn't have to worry about any of that. Duh.

It's not that he was afraid of Dawson Bryce. It was only that he didn't want to have to deal with Dawson coming up with some mildly insane revenge scheme that'd involve a donkey, Tijuana, and liquid crack. And Disneyland or something.

@deadculture said in How should IC discrimination be handled?:

He'd try to force whores to TS him despite their OOC refusal, and at one point he had his character, I forget which it was, but it was a Sadin bastard, I think Andreas, hold a girl at swordpoint and abduct her, shoved her into a wardrobe, wherein he kept her inside and raped her repeatedly.

@darinelle said in Characters You Enjoyed Playing:

Alice was memorable

I'll say! It's been years and I still think back to a few scenes with her that stand out as so much good variety of tension.
