Hahaha, have fun with all the RL jazz, I'm currently celebrating liberation from a long year of college (though it was fun, I shan't deny it), so I may be in and out as well at times.

Well, guess I'll have to chime in on the "semi-absent" messages as well.

Some of you know what's going on, and some don't.  I don't really have secrets, and everyone here is a friend.  Things with my mother have gotten exponentially worse here, and it's reached the point where it's at a "if this treatment doesn't work there's not much left to try" phase.  It's incredibly trying, and there's a lot of family stuff up in the midst that's combining with it.

It was manageable, but now that she's moved to remaining in the hospital instead of coming home, I've been staying there more than I've been home.  I don't have any timeframes as to how long I'll be in or out, anything like that.  I'm just explaining why I've been absent, and why I may continue to be absent/sporadic.

I occasionally pop onto MSN (when I get on the computer for those brief chunks of time before I go to bed), so those of you who have access there can reach me there at the following address:  ten000km@hotmail.com

Just checking in, life's crazy busy for me right now, and I assume for everyone else as well...I guess I'm just saying I hope everyone is doing alright and hopefully we get this going again soon...

I am here, but I think RPoL is slow all over.

None of my other games are doing anything.  Especially over the holiday week.

It's the standard craziness of summer - I have not been home for an entire weekend since early June and won't be until mid-August.

Yeah, my schedule has just been crazy busy.  I used to not go a day without checking rpol, now sometimes I'm not even within reach of a computer for a week at a time.  <sighs> It'll all die down eventually.

Checking in randomly, figure it might be good from time to time, heh, see this game go red on the sticky list and what not. Life's pretty hectic on my part, I'm simply trying to stay afloat with the games I'm in...had to cut back on a decent amount of 'em.

Other than that, working a lot, writing scripts, and uhhh....well, watching Firefly with my dad, who hasn't seen all of it just yet.

Hope y'all are well...

My new game, not trying to steal thunder from this one, but the inactivity is making me twitch and I've got a powerful hankering to run a Firefly game and have had from a while...so I'm offering you all a shot in on the ground floor. Please RTJ! lol, and be sure to tell me you're from this game...I only recognize some usernames on this site...

So, maybe it's time we started this conversation.

Is this game still ticking?

I've been holding out hope for it...

I'm still around, haven't heard from the boss in a while!

I think it comes down to whether T still has the time for it or not.  I'll say I want the game to keep going, but at the same time, it wouldn't be the same without her running it...

Amen.  I'm just a lackey here.

Who's using the Objects in Space tag...is that you, M?

You should look at M's Firefly game, K.

I'm more of an ideas rat.

(Yes, it's M)

Here's what C is talking about:

And yeah, I'm just being a tad MPD there ;)

I'm in for waiting - although got briefly excited when I say the new message posts.

Also, K if you are up for gaming - we've started a once a week regular game that could use one more person. Under Sci-FI - The Regular Crowd.

Hey Everybody!!!!  So after a really crazy time with moving into a new place, and starting school back up, and the family I work for moving to Australia so having to find a new job, and my aunt having a new baby and the goddamn internet company telling us it was going to take a month for them to get in and set up our cable (grr) I am finally back!!

I apologize for disappearing on everyone.  And of course I'm not letting this game die.  It's Destiny people, its where the rat-pack started, <grins>.  Anywho, I'm off today so I'll be spending a considerable amount of time trying to get myself back up to pace with rpol, seeing which games I can still hang with that didn't take off without me, and of course which ones I have time for since life is a lot busier now for me then it was.  I'll probably get on MSN so if anyone's around you can reach me there.

Man its nice to have internet again.

Okay guys, so I am working on reorienting myself with what the hell is going on in this game (I've unfortunately forgotten some stuff so I'm going into re-planning right now).  I'm gonna try to get us started up again by tonight though.

This is going to involve a time jump so that we can all start fresh and on the same page so be aware of that.  Talk to ya all later and I'll post here when posting can recommence.  Let's try to hit the 10,000 mark before Destiny's two year anniversary, whatta ya say? <grins>

Okay, so I put up the time passing post - I didn't pass too much time, just enough to get them into the black and on their way to Beaumonde.  There is some posting that needs to happen between Rhaef and I before we can have Destiny land.

In the meantime, after some discussion with M we realized that honestly this is the most divided we've ever had the crew so we thought it'd be interesting to just give people time to establish what is going on in their personal lives.

ie. Geoff getting sober again and regaining Wei and Lei's trust, the developing love triangle between Geoff, Wei and Dake, Dake and Kale dealing with their past, Charlie dealing with seeing Rhaef again, and so on ...

Alright guys, now things will hopefully begin to get interesting - after some posting between J and I we'll be ready to bring Destiny in and get this episode really rolling.  (and for the record, just in case its unclear that is Curio that's just entered your cell)

Which means everyone still on board Destiny should be getting some posting in before we land on Beaumonde :)  Just trying to get everyone back into the swing of things - its been a long break.

The mechanical hum of many machines at work filled the room.  It was a comforting sound to the woman seated behind the computer, but no amount of comfort could stop the rising fear in her chest as she heard the clicking sound of the footsteps heading down the corridor.  Each one echoed loudly throughout the room.  After an agonizing wait the sound stopped and a smooth voice spoke from behind her.

"What seems to be the problem?"

The woman swallowed hard and got straight to the point, pulling up the screen so that the man could see the terrifying figures, "It's ... it's the terraforming process, its begun -"

"Who else knows about this?" he asked sharply, cutting her off.

She looked back at him, startled, "N-no one, sir.  It's classified information."

"Good, this cannot get out.  First the Miranda broadcast, now this ..." the man pulled away, his eyes gazing thoughtfully around the room.

"What does it mean?"

"It could mean the end of everything."

The woman turned back to the screen, "So what do we do?  We have to tell someone."

She didn't even hear the sound of the mans weapon being drawn.  He slowly pressed the barrel to the back of her head.  His expression one of pity as he stared down at her, "No.  We don't."

There was hardly a sound as the gun fired, just the soft gasp from the woman as she released her last breath.  Her head slumped down onto the keys.  The man sighed, placing gloves on his hands before gently moving the woman aside and wiping the memory of the computer.

"Sorry, but this cannot get out." he said to the womans dead form.

Serenity: Oblivion is a Firefly based game set in the 'Verse.  I will be using the Serenity Role Playing Game as the system, so it is ideal for you to own the book.  Some exceptions may be made.

I am an experienced GM on rpol and am very active on the site.  I am looking for dedicated, long-term players (my other games have been running for almost 2 years now so I like folk who are in for the long haul).  If you know you're the type of person that joins a game just to disappear a few weeks later - you need not apply.  This will be a highly interactive, "role"playing game.  Even though there are dice involved I cannot stress enough that I am looking for people who are good writers and are capable of creating in depth characters and playing through in depth interactions.

That being said, I promise a lot of fun and thrilling adventures and can't wait to get started!!  Hope to see some of you out in the black!

Kudos J!  Great post :)

Thanks T - felt good to get back to Rhaef I know best.
