Subject: Celeste...
...was still without internet at her new place when I spoke with her on Monday but is expecting to be connected at some point this week. Not entirely sure if she'll manage a post for Tess before the weekend... I'll see if I can get some more info for you as to the need to NPC her for a day or three.

Subject: Update.
Heard from Celeste, yesterday. Things are beginning to smooth out for her but still no internet. She's hoping that she'll be reconnected sometime this week and will be back among us in more than just spirit very soon.

Sad to hear about your loss, Chess.
You Innmates are always in my thoughts, of course, but I'll put out extra good vibes for you and yours.

Topic: Satchel's hellos...
Subject: Answers of a sort...
Root beer? Hot Chocolate? Suuuuuure! The bar is pretty well stocked hereabouts and, if you can't find what you want, I'm sure we've got the stuff to make whatever it is.
Chat? No, not really a common time, per se... Chat seems to ebb and flow with the mood of our Innmates, it seems. Some of us are very chatty and, at times, will have the chat rooms running full bore for hours on end... then they'll get chatted out and the rooms will get empty and dusty and depressing... Then someone will get all motivated again and POOF! CHAT!
As for posting (or PbP gaming, if you prefer). The dice rolling and whatnot is really dependent on the GM of the particular game, Satch. (Most GMs hereabouts, though, tend to do the rolling for combat and such 'behind the scenes' allowing you to focus on character character development, RP, and the not-so-technical side of things.... Here, check out Pit F(r)iend's Guide for Newbies and see if that doesn't help make it a little easier for you to 'navigate' hereabouts.
And, of course, if you have any other questions, need a nudge in one direction or another, or are just bored and looking to kill a few minutes, give a shout and one of us will come running! We're good like that.

Topic: New Season of Walking Dead!
Subject: Episode 3.
Okay, without spoilers... I knew that was coming but that is NOT the way I was expecting it to happen! 
Or, would I be better off summing up the episode in this one word: "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnn!!!"

Topic: Disney Buys Lucasfilm
Subject: Well...
...Thrawn is out, apparently, and, if I've read correctly, don't look for Episode 7 to be anything that you've heard/read before. Looks as if they're going with a whole new tale outside of any 'currently established canon'... Hope restored? Mmmmmmm... maybe... we'll see.
But I swear... if they get Gosling as Solo, I'm done with the franchise all together.

...though, with 70-some people on board, I think finding some place truly private might be a trick.
Best of luck Ryan Shian Shen.
Also -  @ The Kid's optimism. Way to look for the silver lining Ody.

Second half of Fu Sheng's post is up. If I had read Roger's PM before I posted it, I might not have needed to do the quick edits but, I think it all still works... Let me know if I need to change anything else, Roger.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: And coming up with a dustball
Sifu Cheung, still trying to hold at bay the overwhelming surge of emotions emanating from the Star’s evacuees, moved away from Jessy, then, and sought out any others that might require his assistance. His gaze panned slowly over the myriad spirits filling the Rocinante’s cargo bay and he, once again, paid close attention to his breathing and keeping his own thoughts in order as the still-overpowering influx of threatened to sweep him under. He managed to stay separate from it well enough to attend the injured for a bit longer – stopping here to apply liniment to a bruise, there to administer a cluster of acupuncture needles intended to slow a racing heartbeat – but still the tide of fear and anger roiled around him and attempted to suck him into it’s tumultuous current…
Anger? Fu Sheng blinked, offered a shake of his head as if that particular sensation was somehow strangely alien to the moment – and, this particular brand of anger that had just crashed over him was exactly that – and felt himself thrown off balance by the sudden darkness of it.
The monk’s smile diminished noticeably as he fought to maintain tranquility in the gale of emotion. His breathing was barely on the edge of his control for an instant and refused to flow either in or out with ease as he tried to open himself to the sensation and, hopefully, locate it’s source… Each tick of his gaze from the face of one passenger to the next was accompanied by a slow, quivering breath and a mantra repeated in his mind but, otherwise, the little monk appeared to be frozen in place; only his eyes moving… When Fu Sheng managed to separate that poisonous anger from the predominant tang of fear, it hit him hard… almost physically… and he felt his knees give a little as it howled past.
Someone here is terribly angry that their plan has failed… His eyes closed and he shuddered faintly before opening them again. ...this plan that had something to do with the blast… Someone wanted something from that ship... and caused the Star’s destruction trying to get to it… and, whatever that something is, it is now on this ship, as is the one searching for it.
“I…” the little priest blinked and wavered in the midst of the throng, the characteristic smile now completely gone from his lips as his gaze skimmed the cargo bay in what might have been taken by some as desperation, “…can’t…”
He shook his head, again, this time with such force that the long, braided queue that hung down his back whipped over one shoulder and draped itself in a loose loop around his neck. Fu Sheng’s gaze abandoned the crowd, then, sought out Captain Sung, and found him standing on the catwalk above. Before the thought had completed itself, the monk was moving up the steps and across the catwalk toward Wyatt.
“Sung Chuan Zung,” he said evenly and hopefully loudly enough for only the captain to hear, “I do not wish to cause alarm but I believe we might have a problem.”
((OOC: And there we have it… room for edits and interjections as necessary, of course… ))

Subject: Cringing, already...
...at some of the casting choices that are floating around out there.
Ryan Gosling as Han Solo?
Please, Gods, NOOOOOOOOO!!! The man has all the personality and acting chops of a plank!
Rooney Mara as Princess Leia and Emilie Hirsch as Luke Skywalker? Welll... maybe... but NO GOSLING.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Sweeping the temple floor
Rocinante - Cargo Bay 8:22 pm
"We'll deal with each drop," Willow replied in a soft voice," as long as we draw breath...”
The little monk offered a faint nod and a reassuring smile.
“…that reminds me!" The lovely doctor accessed the comm., then, and called to Apollo Shian Shen, requesting that the Firefly’s atmo scrubbers be prepped to compensate for the incoming rush of passengers from the cruise liner.
For his part, Fu Sheng returned his gaze to the bay doors and, as the prayer beads cycled through his fingers, offered up silent pleas to his ancestors and the Buddha.
Cargo Bay 8:25 pm
When Rocinante finally docked with the Star an eerie silence washed over the cargo bay and Fu Sheng found himself very conscious of the sound of his own breath… his own heartbeat… and, as the cargo bay door opened in a hissing whoosh and squelch of the mechanicals to admit the panicked evacuees, the monk couldn’t help but suck in a deep, almost shuddering breath of his own, and allow himself to be driven half a step backwards in the face of the raw, unbridled wave of fear that came with them.
It was unexpected… he hadn’t quite prepared himself for a sense of terror of this magnitude… it was… almost too much…
When sweeping the temple floor, the temple floor is all there is. The mantra came to him from somewhere deep inside and long ago, and he repeated it to himself with each breath, each heartbeat, as he sought to push the crippling angst of others from his mind. It took a moment and more than a little resolve but he managed to shield himself from it and, as his eyes opened and he took in the crowd of well better than forty spirits, he did so with a tranquil determination. He moved among the throng, then, tending to the few minor injuries (Buddha be praised) that he encountered, and offering words of comfort and reassurance to those who needed little else. Fu Sheng finished applying a bandage to the scraped arm of a younger man and, offering a pleasant smile, stood to make his way to the next passenger… but she came to him, instead.
She was an athletically built young woman, dressed in what was certainly an expensive, figure hugging, gold and silver evening gown. Very attractive and very alert – her clear eyes darting purposefully about as she moved through the crowd, assessing her surroundings – despite the bleeding wound to her head. Fu Sheng managed to garner that much from the glance he got before she stumbled over a deck plate and toppled forward. He moved quickly, stepping gracefully around one or two others in order to catch the falling woman before she hit the deck.
“Xiao xin, Shao Jeh,” he smiled as he caught her by elbow and waist, his grip firm but gentle, helping to restore her balance and steady her on her feet, “Ni hai hao ma?*”
“Sorry,” she said with an apologetic smile, “I feel a little dizzy.”
“Duhn ruhn,**” Fu Sheng nodded, pleased to see the woman’s smile brighten a bit more when their eyes met. “Come,” he said, ushering her a few steps away and gesturing to a spot where a spar jutted out from the bulkhead, “Sit. Allow me to tend your hurt.”
((Assuming Jessy has no problem doing so…))
The little monk eased Jessy down onto the outcropping and released his hold on her, then, but his hands didn’t wander far away. The fingertips of one hand landed gently on her wrist to gauge her pulse and the palm of the other hovered just a fraction of an inch from her belly to get a sense of how her chi was flowing. After a moment, he found her eyes again, and smiled as he let go of her wrist and let that hand move to the cut on her head.
“Your energies are good, Shao Jeh,” he said softly, inspecting the cut, “and this does not look so bad…” He produced a cloth and a small jar of antiseptic from within the orange changshan he wore and proceeded to clean and dress the wound. “…It is the emotion, I think, more than the injury that makes you dizzy.” Fu Sheng glanced meaningfully around the cargo bay, then, smiling as his eyes came back to hers, again; “It is quite palpable, is it not?”
This crowd… the type of people that comprised it… they reminded him of the crowds that had often ringed the pits in which he had been forced to fight… had it not been for fear as opposed to greed or bloodlust being the predominant emotion wafting from them, Fu Sheng might have almost expected an opponent or three to be presented to him at any moment…When sweeping the temple floor, the temple floor is all there is.
After another moment, Jessy’s wound was cleaned and bandaged, and the little monk was rising to his feet. “Rest here,” he said, still smiling, “Breathe. In through your nose. Out through your mouth. Your equilibrium will return soon enough.
I am Fu Sheng,” the monk offered with a bow, “If there is anything else I can do for you, Shao Jeh, do not hesitate to say so…Ah mi tah Fo.***”
((And, pause…More coming, of course, just wanted to get the interaction with Jessy addressed…))
* Carefully, miss. Are you okay?
** Of course
*** Buddha bless you

Subject: Nope...
...any other company would have been a wasted effort, I think.
Disney definitely has the 'imagination' quotient in spades where picking up Star Wars and making it work is concerned.

Topic: Disney Buys Lucasfilm
Subject: Gotta admit...
...I was a little worried when Disney bought up Marvel, too, but, after having seen the Avengers, I have to admit I was happily surprised.
Got nothing at all against Disney, mind you - in fact, when I was a kid I really wanted to work for Disney - but the Marvel thing made me go "wha-huh?" and the Lucasfilm thing does, as well... (although, in my mind, the Lucasfilm purchase makes more sense than did the Marvel buy)... *shrugs* Either way, I hope Disney does right by the franchise and, regardless of what they put out there as far as Episode 7, it's gotta be better than Episodes 2 and 3, doesn't it?

...I think I can get behind it. Would really like to see them do something focusing on Solo, myself. Read a series of books a few years ago that followed Han through his pre-New Hope days and really enjoyed the tale.
