So we have a captain, a brute, an amnesiac and a male prostitute.

This is going to be a good RP

Well, to finish the pattern, we'll just need a doctor, an engineer, and a shepherd.

I'm half-hoping that someone will twist the original and bring aboard a literal shepherd.

"Uh-uh. I know what you're thinking. Did he discharge 6 chambers, or was it only 5? Well, I rather forgot myself, what with all this excitement and all. But seeing that this is a .45 Civiliser, the most powerful hand-cannon in the Empire, and will blow your goggles clean off, you ought to ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky?

"Well, do you... steampunk?"

MWBailey

Not intending to force the game to start or anything, It just seemed likely the two would meet at some point, and that browncoats'd stick together. The engineer has no name, since I wasn't intending to bring any more than the one character (Silas) into the actual game. I've recently been accused of trying to hijack the plot and worldbuilding of a game, so I'm trying to stick with my bit alone to show good faith and willingness to do so. If the town or the island or the world in general are intended differently than I have written so far, please do make changes and tell me to back off, and I will do so.

Maybe we ought to go ahead with what few we have and see what happens.

In any case, I'm going to add a few more character scenarios to the Rogues Gallery  in the next few days/weeks that have nothing or little to do with Flying Free, mainly from the Extended Steam Salon and Blazing Gun Saloon group novellas, and other characters that never quite took off, just to keep writing.

Not trying to take over, it just seemed a crane would be the best idea, and figured if the Maiden carried cargo, she'd have some kind of system in place for handling heavy loads. I can rewrite if necessary, of course..

I figured Arani should at least do something useful to prove his worth including on the trip - so hooking Corsair up with a sex-sling technique would have to suffice.

Pity about the burning ropeball being extinguished - I was going for a metaphorical moment about burning bridges behind them.

Oops. s

Appetite suppressant and other meds, coupled with what the Dr. says is likely combinations of indigestion, food poisoning and (probably(?)) the flu, are giving me leaping, creeping fits. That coupled with Income tax prep, music dates, and other crud are keeping me pretty busy lately.

Ah, sorry mate. Take as long as you need, obviously the forum comes second to your family and health.

are we ever going to get this really fully going again? I don't really want to call it dead, but it looks like it's an ex RP......

Willing if you are. I've been slacking off with my novel lately, so this stuff helps keep me (a little) in-practice

I ended up going away for the weekend (and a bit more than that). Hopefully I slipped that one in there in time ;)
