We've maxed out the previous OOC thread. I've locked it and started this one. Please carry on!

In reply to Aviva (msg # 2):

Sorry for the lack of updates on my end. This is, in part, because you have been doing some great bantering and I didn't want to interrupt that flow. It is also, in part, because my daughter's having a birthday this weekend and the holidays are coming and I'm absolutely slammed.

I owe Roger some backstory clarification before he can truly weigh in on his version of Briggs's interpretation of AOS/COS history. I probably owe the same to Frank and Aviva, honestly. Will try to sort that out and then we can press onward.

In the meantime, please don't let me interrupt the banter!

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 3):

Never apologize for family!

Bantering is great!

In reply to Aviva (msg # 4):

I'm impressed that nobody has thrown Featherlight under the bus as a convenient scapegoat yet

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 5):

I mean, even if I wanted to, she's still alive right, and nobody trusts us yet so it would be very risky

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 5):

Ooc- I purposely haven't because her survival and my treatment of her therein is an undeniable piece of proof that Frank was able to put her disdain of Invictus aside for the greater good. It is a necessary counterweight against Briggs and a wedge inserted firmly against Billy's perceptions of who Frank is.

Put simply- it behooves me not to lie. That's how Frank is doing the math, anyway.

So I actually thought about it and by my count Billy has been primarily responsible for at least attempting the destruction of a major structure or structures on at least three occasions in-game and only once didn’t attempt to get clear everyone he did not specifically intend to be exploded.  I realize this is Frank lashing out at a judgmental stranger but he genuinely does have some expertise in controlled collateral damage and I find that really funny.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 8):

It is becoming very clear to me the player how much the characters actually have in common and the very few differences through the prismatic lens are just going to be a constant source.of consternation.

In reply to Penelope Franklin (msg # 9):

The reply Frank was denied:

An abstraction of potential destruction is not equivalent to the imminent threat of actual demolition. That you equate them and cannot remove yourself from grand strategy and engage with us mortals here in the day to day milieu of apparently needing to thank you for salvation is your hypocrisy, and you seem to wear it with similar ease.

Frank turns and makes for her bunk, having nothing more to say to the asshole needing fisting.

There's no reason you can't continue the conversation, I was just taking most of the NPCs out of it.

UPDATE: I've added your response to the thread.

FYI- Unless you have specifically addressed Frank in character about your bug fight, she doesn't know about it, and I the player make an effort to not read any dialogue or GM dumps that Frank isn't a part of. We're equally blind in that regard!

In reply to Penelope Franklin (msg # 12):

No, I don’t know that anything has been made explicit to those who weren’t in the hive, and Billy kept his space suit on for most of the day so even evidence of his ass kicking would be minor.  The Exilium crew would’ve been the only ones left out of the SOS regarding it too, unless Frank or Aviva would bother to debrief with Wren or Franklin, who were physically present for it.

That sounds like work for Wren or Franklin ;)
