For the first couple of hours ... yes.  But it got to feel very old very quickly.

Funny how that goes with a lot of funky things.  They start off fun, then simplicity starts to look appealing again.  :D

Indeed

Apologies, Ash.  :(  Shui will have to make it more clear.  She's frustrated with herself for not getting to the physical.

No worries, Ash's player knows that Shui's player isn't mad at him.  And Ash suspects that Shui isn't particularly mad with him either.  But that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to try and stay on her good side...:)

Phew!

I'm not sure Shui has a bad side.  Most of that business with Jago was (again) her being angry with herself, and just a little more forceful than usual.  :D

*hides*

:(

It wasn't THAT forceful!

*sniffle*

*grins*

You are an evil man.  It's probably a good thing you aren't my partner for this.

:)

Gah...for some reason I had the idea that the passengers were at another table.  Rather silly.

I'll modify my post today.  :(

They are at another table.  In an entirely separate room.  :)

Then I don't need to change much, thank goodness.  :)

You found The Travellers!  :)  I've never finished reading that!

I even quoted it in one of your games recently....

*Dramatic music played to excite Hayes*

I've always wanted to find out what happened!  Thank you!

*holds head*

I've also forgotten how hard it is to READ that comic!  O_o

I see they got a "Ridge" in there but totally messed up the woman.  Let me at the author, I'll "talk" to them a bit until they do a proper, reimagined version...

Couldn't stand it.

Should I wait for Yasmine to post?  Looks like it's open for her to get things started... :D

Okay... after that training montage, compressing a whole week of violence into a single post, accompanied by Eye of the Tiger (because it's compulsory), everybody (crew and passengers alike) is going to end up with the basics of the Brawling skill.

Not enough that you could earn money as a prize fighter, but enough to cancel out the -4 penalty for not having the skill at all.

Bet you all thought I was going to make you all post an entire week of classes, didn't you?

Yay!  I have learned a skill I shall never use!  :D

Seriously, though - very cool.  Nice to do some training, and it compresses the jump time.  Plus, if we get in a barfight, the others can defend themselves.

Barfight, right?  That's what you're thinking, GM?

.....

^_^

I'm wondering if Ash wants to do the physical.  If so, we'd need a separate thread to get it done on the way.  :)

If not, we can gloss over it.

Depends how Ash wants to do it.  I'm quite happy to do a medical exam montage...

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

"Go behind the screen and undress please... "

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Prod prod...

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Poke poke...

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

Stab.  "Ow!"...

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

"Cough please."...

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

Tap tap...

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

"Say, 'Aaaaah.'"

The eye of the tiger...

See?  Easy enough.

*applause*

^_^  Well done!

Interesting about the lost 'knives' in the game.  Back in my old club, if anyone dropped a wooden knife during practice, all eyes around the room would try to locate both person and knife.

If the knife was near, it got grabbed (hey, now I have two!).  If the person was near, they got 'stabbed'.  :)

Made for some interesting sudden scrambles during drills, usually ending up with someone waving two knives and the dropper getting dogpiled.  ^_^

Whee!  My name is a killing word.

Gee, thanks a bunch.

Indeed.


No, I refuse to ask...  ;)

In reply to Yasmine Crow (msg #180):

It's fixed now.

It's like the time I tried to kiss you.  Or the time I spent the night on that other ship.  Or the time I kicked the cop.

I make one, tiny, insignificant frelling mistake, and you just won't let me live it down.  Well, I have a knife now, (or is it a broken bottle? the lesson wasn't really clear on that part) so you better watch yourself.  I'm not putting up with your dren any more.  ;-)

O_O  What?
