I'd had wanted Lightening Reflexes so I felt that Willow working with Ash on concentration and the lessons would improve his skills. Adding to pistols would come from the same thing. He helps her and she helps him to be quicker and more accurate. It would have added to hand to hand too but I put it in survival, working out with the doctor would lead to first aid skills for the thumps and bumps so he would pick up that and better reasoning too from meditations. His covert would rise from the same clear thinking.

My first RP post in ages, it seems.

Anyway, just edited it to move the OOC stuff to here.

I know it's of an odd introduction post, seeing as how I haven’t actually described my character apart from giving the unimportant detail that he’s got an earth-that-was Southern English accent. I don’t want to presume anything here but when Wolf does pull himself out from under Rocinante he’ll see John crouched next to the Roc in smart shoes, dark trousers and a dark waistcoat and jacket with an open collar (top button not done up on his shirt). John’s got short black curly hair and pale blue eyes with a kind face but wearing a neutral expression which rarely changes, he speaks and carries himself professionally but with some colloquialisms and slang, appearing like a core-worlder who’s started to go a bit native. He also has a gunslinger’s holster and his old service pistol strapped to his right leg over the top of his suit trousers, and a large backpack next to him leaning against the Roc. When Wolf asks about John he’ll introduce himself and ask what’s up with the ship, state that he wants to join as the new pilot but that he’s a dab hand with technical “stuff”.
Tann, if we can I’d like to RP a bit between us but I don’t think I’ve left enough time between posting and Al wanting to move things along.

EDIT: Sorry for not interacting with Ash Ody.

Loki, I thought I'd do a little edit to my post anyway.

The more I thought it would have been more likely that the gun cabinets had built in locks and Ash just replaced them with the new techie locks. I'm going rewrite and have it so one of the three that one malfunctions and he can't get it open. That's where a bit of tech and device knowledge would allow John to whip out some fancy or regular tool to realiegn frequency, yadda, yadda, techie, techie, or basicly reboot the lock so it works. The more I thought of an external lock the less I liked that. Bolt cutters would get past them.

And this allows you to post as evens unfold. I would gather you helped Wolf and come in to do your turn as pilot but Wyatt pretty much would have settled on Tess. You do a couple more minor tweeks to help systems stuff, fix a food prep for Ma, a medical unit for Willow and then hear Ash cussing out the lock, stop by ask if you can help, bip bop. ,Bob's your Uncle and that's done too. Before you know it the crew is going to Wyatt and saying you're a mighty handy guy to have on board and the story goes on from there.

I've enjoyed everyone's posts. Thank you for the contributions!

Interaction between players is moving things along too. As much as i want to get you into the black and hauling dynamite for farmers, this mini adventure can play out. We have to wait for Celeste's first post and I know Vanadia wants to post as well.

The important thing in the timeline is I need John to be near the cockpit when Tess is doing her audition. But I have to write in Gator's audition first which should be fun.

Great posts all around!

I'm back in town. Nothing quite like extended hospital visists. Again, I apologize for my delay.

I've been reading through the posts (which are awesome by the way!) but I am confused about one thing ~ where the devil is Tess in all of this? At the end of Brom's post, he said he was sitting at the table with Gator and Trish?

The intro to Tess is all written up, but I haven't touched her audition because I thought I needed to wait for Gator's audition since he was up first. Er, well, wait for the real audition anyway. The sim doesn't count. Any little line of direction as to where she actually -is- (is it actually her and not Trish at the table, is she still in the lingering in the cockpit?) by the time I end this little jaunt would be greatly appreciated!

The Trish is a typo. It should be Tess.

Tess and Gator have been taken on board. You have already done the interviews and initial simulations. You are about to head off to a "quiet area" to do a real audition. Basically fly up and around, go to the Black and come back and land.

Celeste - You can post your character's back history, or thoughts on waiting, the number of people in line, the interview, or the simulation. Yes, you have to wait to post your flight as Gator goes first but there is a world of other things you can post about to give the crew an idea of who and what Tess is about.

Thanks Al! Just what I needed! I was having yet another dumb blonde moment!

I never mind clarifying what is going on in the story. A simple mis-type can cause a whole lot of confusion and delay. If I ask "are you busty?" instead of "are you busy?" and the whole meaning changes.

...I... uh... *bites tongue*

I miss-typed!? I'm getting snoopy. Stoopid automobile correct! I men snotty.

Um... s l o p p y. Jonas brothers priestly!

I can inform you that I am not busty, I am not blessed with the man boobs.

Back to topic, a bit, I can't wait to read your intro Celeste and learn about Tess. I've been following the game since the we got the chance to join it so I feel I know a bit about the crew, even if John doesn't, but I don't know anything about Tess.

Tann: I'll try to get a response to your post up soon.

Loki, to find out more about Tess look up the the Destiny Story Game. The background and the interaction between her and Captain Jon should give you a good idea of how she'll be.

I really miss that game, but I'm glad to have Celeste back in the story.

Except everyone could learn about Tess if she would just gorram post!!!!!
