Yeah the stories we started with Into the Abyss 1 was just CRAZY in length!
But I love how weve created a rich universe for our characters to exist in.... I really need to re read the others and then re read ITA 2, loved the story we had!

Cool. I'm getting my head back on straight slowly. three years of being a vampire is a hard habit to break. it was making me crazy. Still having trouble sleeping but that's not new. I'll be honest. I haven't read the first cycle of story yet. I did read part 2 though so I sort of kind of maybe have a clue. Well. At least I'm not COMPLETELY oblivious now.

I think part two gives a decent summary of stuff that happened in part one so your likely ok.
So here is the idea for the new rp story. I wanted to leave it vague so people could run with it but have a frame work to start. I initially had some other ideas but they seemed kind of heavy and the feeling I got from everyone who wanted to do this, was a quick kind of mission rp that could be built upon later but not necessarily so this is what I came up with. Feel free to suggest a different reason the operatives would be retrieving data.
Pitch Black
Objective: Retrieve sensitive data off a hard drive housed in an advertisement building. Disguises will likely be necessary. The hard drive could contain information about power networks in the matrix. Power networks are just energy networks; think of them like a power grid.
Hostiles: Bluepill workers and security guards are on site. There is also likely to be Merovingian operatives on site.
Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to retrieve the valuable data packet so that Zion could piece together valuable information of power networks in and outside the matrix.

I like it. I'm already getting ideas about .. stuff. Super busy with work atm. It's kicking my butt big time. Oh yeah. Before I forget. About the RaNDom thread. There is no pressure for people to post in there at all. The idea came about mostly for those odd little thoughts I get sometimes that aren't all epic or even have a real point. Like the first post I made which is actually based very loosely on a real conversation I had. If people want to share great .. if not .. also great. I went back and half speed-read the first part of Abyss. I think I got the most important points in it. Might have missed a few details but I think I have a handle on the general story-to-this-point now. I'm way to brain dead to post any RP at all probably till this weekend. I tried not to shove Skyscream directly into the plot. More of an approach from an angle. Typical secondary character type stuff. Here's the character. A bit of background. The setting that character feels at home in. etc. etc. Weird. When I say it like that it sounds much more planned out than it actually was. lol. Okay. Brain is getting silly now. I need to find that sleep thingy people keep talking about.

lol sounds good, Sky. I will post soonish and tie your character in to the action and move the thread forward (unless someone else wanted to jump in and post?). I just wanted to post some Danny/Karaa stuff since it took so long for that Character to get in there lol and to get some more perspectives on Karaa's frame of mind at the moment.
Anyway, i hope you got some sleep !

Also, another idea if people are interested. In my TSW faction, they had this writing exercise thats called drabbles (we could call it something else matrix-related if people wanted). Basically, your posts have to be under 100 words in response to a prompt that the person that posted before you picks. It can be about anything but your suppose to stick within the universe. Just a fun idea, I'm not sure if people would be interested though. Might be too much RP thread stuff going on already.
For example,
Prompt: snakes
---writes about snakes----
Next prompt: Snow

Couldn't sleep so I did some writing last night for Abyss 2. Posted it a little while ago. Just me having some fun. Setting up some character stuff and what not. lol. Don't think I screwed up anything plotwise. It was actually a tough write and rewrite much to my surprise once I got the idea down. Been a while since I wrote anything about my MxO Skyscream character in somebody else's story so I'm kind of enjoying getting to reintroduce her. so to speak. Anyhoo. I gave her a little adventure and then put her right back where she was. The drabbles sounds like fun but in all honesty, and just speaking for myself, I have a lot on my plate atm. Something I'd like to try sometime though. I was even planning another post for Random but I totally forgot what it was. hahaha. It'll come to me.

Thats fine. Just an idea if others were interested. No pressure whatsoever. =)
ok cool. I will try to post again to tie things together or move things forward...or both. Unless someone else wants to post?
Also Valaro, if you are not interested in posting...do you mind if I control Valaro for like...a hot minute? lol I'll give him back I swear, and you can veto whatever you don't like. If its not, I completely understand and can work around it, I think.

I'm a rather verbose person. I have many many words trapped in my head screaming to get out. I'm worse in person. I never shut up if people are around. lol. The main problem I have is time. When I do post I have a habit of machine gun posting so sorry if anyone feels pressured to post. Hmm. That sentence contained the word post a lot. lol. Also sorry for saying sorry. I'm Canadian. It's programmed into us at birth. Sorry. ;D I have no problem editing anything I write if it's totally out of whack with the ideas of my fellow roleplayers. ;D I edit my own stuff as I write it so often that it's rarely what I started writing in the first sentence of the idea. I mean ... sure .. it's hard to tell from my typos but it's true. Honest. Hmm. I had an actual reason for starting this post. I wonder what it was. *scratches head* Um.... *fiddles with a pen on his desk* *taps his finger on the desk* *sighs* Nope. It's gone. Oh well. No point in wasting random babble I guess. *clicks Post Reply*

Made a post for RP in year 8 after the truce which puts it a few years down the road from the end of MxO. I'll just say it. It's now. Like ... right now. 8 years in.
Here is how I think things are. If memory serves. I'm extrapolating as well about a few things and ignoring a few things from mxo story from near the end. Mostly the surface kind of stuff.
Everything is open for debate of course if you think something should be another way. This is as good a place for discussion as any.
Go Go Gadget Roleplay!
Major Stuff ----------- Captain Roland is in charge of Zion, not Lock. Lock has returned to Zion and is now on the council. (probably not popular but it makes sense to me) There is a stale mate between Machine and Zion. Not a war but barely a truce. Cypherites are led by Veil who seems to take orders from an unknown shadowy source. (not sure about this but it sounds good. lol.) The Merovingian is his usual self. Morpheus is still dead/missing. Niobe is high up in Zion command. Agent Pace has become a much better human relations program.
I'm playing that a long, mysterious, journey kept Skyscream and the Format C away from Zion for years. A bit of a stretch but whatever. The True Believers are pretty much a broken and lost fleet from the many many years of fighting Cypherites. I always liked the underdog. The TTB base on the surface is long forgotten and destroyed.
The Pride is still standing of course. I've left that alone. Figured if Pride want to join in Pride will join in.
Strange new worlds await.

Sounds like a cool, RP. I will have to read the post and see if I can throw Kar in there. I haven't had a chance to start the other one or post in the abyss. I just got back from a long business trip and I'm not sure why I am even awake right now. I will post in the abyss soon to get that moving. Are people still interested in that escort mission? Its seems like there are quite a few RPs going on. Maybe shelf it for later? Thoughts?

My thought process on the After the Sunset rp thread was to give people still active a place to create new stories not bound by what occurred during MxO. Forge our own path so to speak. I left the first post very open ended to give anybody at all a chance to get involved in some way. Re-introduce our characters who will have evolved/changed somewhat in all that time. I figure eight years after the war is a long time. Things will be a bit different, etc, etc. Four years after the end of MxO is also a very long time but I didn't want to pick up where LET left off. Eight years in give us a LOT of leeway in what is going on where things are going. Major figures will still be around of course. Nothing much really changed dramatically, except me thinking Lock should be on the council, so it shouldn't be to difficult to pick up. As far as RP goes I think I have my hands full at the moment. The ATS (after the sunset is long to type. lol.) thread will probably take up a bit of my time. I need to set up where the major personalities, like Pace and the Merovingian and folks like that, are in their lives. I'm also interested in where Abyss 2 is going and looking forwards to more of that. I'm not sure I have time at the moment for another RP while I'm working the bugs out of the boards. I'll jump in if one is started once I have stuff sorted out better of course. Plus I have that script thing. lol. I'm pretty tired right now so I'm just not sure. heh. I tend to change my mind once I actually sleep.

Ok, then for now I'll just shelf it. I'm pretty busy myself but if someone else wants to run with the idea they definitely can. I haven't seen too much interest in it in recent months so I don't think this will cause a riot or anything lol. I'll just focus on the ones that are currently ongoing.
