Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Mr. Johnson:
I’ve seen an osprey do the same thing. Smashing a mouse into a branch, I’m guessing to tenderize it and break up the little guys bones.

That’s fascinating! The only thing I can think of is a brood parasite’s eggs not making the cut, and the osprey got pissed and destroyed the eyrie.

I am far from an ornithologist, and the only useful sources I found that could be relevant are:

https://www.lookandlearn.com/b...ospreys-under-guard/
(Definitely Pandion haliaetus haliaetus)

https://www.theanimalfiles.com..._of_prey/osprey.html
(P haliaetus)

This is a NON-ORNITHOLOGIST’S speculation who DID NOT OBSERVE THE BEHAVIOR as to why an osprey might smash into a tree.

But sometimes animals just do weird things you’d never expect.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

The dice roller was kind to Pacer and Sidewinder for Christmas. You are about to make it away free and clear despite having been outnumbered two to one and on the wrong side of a sneak attack.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Happy New Year too!

Oh, dear. If everyone addresses this new Gregorian year then the Matrix’s bandwidth will get even more overloaded.

But a snake mage thinks of a quote from the final short story in The Jungle Book from a character who is extraordinarily different in Disney’s utterly fantastic 1967 movie:
Kaa:
It is hard to cast the skin.

It ain’t easy to advance in the shadows. ’Specially if you change when you do.

PS If you haven’t seen that animated film then remedy this ASAP, chummer.

@Pacer, @Sidewinder - you guys are great together. Thanks for putting in the effort.

I have to admit, I stole that from Appaloosa, a really funny satire Western movie, where Viggo Mortensen's character has a legendary shotgun that everyone in the movie knows is an "eight-gauge".  It's a really funny movie.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

I'll give it a look. Sounds like a winner already!

Pacer and Sidewinder's conversation should end with them agreeing to meet Sidewinder's Mr J somewhere in the Bay Plex. Otherwise, you guys just keep doing what you are doing!

Sounds good!  I'm sure we'll get there soon.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

In reply to Pacer (msg # 147):

It’s a shame Sidewinder keeps Natrixs in reserve, because She’s as good or better at everything than any other spirit she can summon except for Watchers. All at the same time. So you’ll (hopefully) have to settle for the inferior Mentor of a Mentor! And/or its respectable Search.

As far as gear, Sidewinder has a concealed Ares Predator (probably silenced); an encryptable microtransceiver disguised as a brooch; and, the only thing revealed to Pacer so far, simple mini optical binoculars. And her Vashon Island suit and Lined Coat are both Fine. ’Cause she ’runs in style.

And, other than soykaf, light. So having a rigger along is awesome.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Oh, and if Pacer offers to tote Sidewinder’s soykaf and/or brings his own to share he will get +5 in an undefined point system à la Whose Line Is It Anyway? The higher the quality the more bonus points he will earn in an undefined scaling system. She’s a serious addict.

In reply to Pacer (msg # 113):
Sidewinder:
Impatient. The mental sneer requires no elucidation.

Trailer for Sidewinder’s next post. Pacer is a fantastic foil!

But this post isn’t mainly for you. No offense. ’Cause I simply love this Mentor spirit, Mr Johnson!

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

One side effect of drinking too much soykaf—Pacer has a small tick, a foot that taps rhythmically when he's sitting down having a cup or two.

In reply to Mr. Johnson (msg # 151):
Mr. Johnson:
You three are a pleasure to GM for

And a pleasure to play!

I was terrified you were gone for good. The game gets more interesting by the post, and opens up more possibilities with each one.

And I can’t believe you made Sidewinder spew out her beverage. I didn’t that’d be possible. Tip of the hat, Mr Johnson. Tip of the hat.

Pacer is probably the one who made it possible. So I wager both o’ you get the credit.

Now she just needs a new mug . . .

“Hoy! Waiter! This is, like, partly saliva. If you heard what I heard, you’d get it. If you weren’t just a mundane servant. Just fix this and scurry away. Oh, wait ’nother soykafetière. Then scurry away.”

PS I used to work at a restaurant. Not the most dickish type of customer, but she’d be on the list.

No offense, but that’s redundant. Duh. Pacer always reacts perfectly!
