Discuss Silver One: Underground [PG-VLS]

I might do that. But don't worry about waiting on me, indifference. The things I'd put in that post could easily be included in a post I write after you've posted, so please go ahead and post.

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Anyway, the next part is ready to commence!
[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Yay! [quote name='SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue] The post is up and everyone has received their new objectives. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]*looks at their new objective and sobs* Are you sure you and Crystia aren?t in this together? I swear you two are planning on letting Jared have his way with my poor character! ;_ ; (haha! I kid ;)) It will be great fun doing what you have in mind. [QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue']Anyway... lets have some more fun! :catgirl: [/COLOR][/quote]I agree. If I had know RPG?s were this much fun I would have joined OB a lot sooner.

It?s late for me so I?ll finish it up later today after I've slept since it's early morning here.

[B]EDIT:[/B] All right the post is finally up. I left it on the vague side as to where the facilities and weapons are for the simple reason that I don't know where such things are. And for the purpose of the story, simply stating that the facility was in the country known as the USA is sufficient in my opinion. Oh and the list mainly pertains to major countries like the US and the UK or Russia, places that actually do have nuclear weapons. Though again for the sake of the story pretty much anything would work since the holographic technology Celestia is suppose to have created doesn?t even exist.[/COLOR]

[/COLOR][/quote]I'm glad you did that. Especially since my character is suppose to pinpoint how to disrupt shipping and I was wondering if I needed to actually do research on it or if making it up would be okay. So unless anyone objects, that's how I intend to do it.

Especially since as you pointed out Earth in the story isn't quite the same as the Earth as we know it. So other than to say which country it was in, specific details as to where the facility is that was taken out is not required. [QUOTE=Rachmaninoff']I was wondering if I needed to actually do research on it or if making it up would be okay.

There's certainly no need to do extensive research on what is purely a story written for fun. Though that does bring up another point I'd like to clarify in regards to the transportation door technology the Versilan's use. It's not like what you would see in say Star Trek as things are not broken down and then put back together again at the new location. It's more like folding space in that you walk through the door just like you would any other door. It also means a much greater range and things being in your way, like a planet doesn?t limit you. To give an idea, using it to send someone as far as a place like Mars would not be out of the question. I thought I should clear that up since that feature is going to end up being used a lot more in the story now.

Also I have not heard from JimitheGreat11 so as of now their character along with the merchant who was suppose to have picked them up are missing in action until I hear otherwise. [/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR=DarkRed]I hope no one minds that my posts end up being so long. I don?t mean to, but Jared is tons of fun to play with and I actually end up editing things out to shorten it. He?s pretty determined to overshadow Sandra when I?m writing. :p [spoiler] and to get Darren just for fun. Ah... the lovely ideas that come to mind. XD[/spoiler][/COLOR]

[Aaryanna]

[COLOR=Teal][quote name='indifference][COLOR=DarkRed']I hope no one minds that my posts end up being so long.[/COLOR][/quote]No danger of that. :catgirl:

Anyway, just as a point of reference, the clinic I was reffering to also has a room for anyone transporting down unseen from the Crimson as well as the Tempest. Also part of my objective was to choose a city in the US with mountains for our starting point so I choose [URL=http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1737/denvergg6.jpg]Denver[/URL] as you can see in the link. I'm not really familiar with it as I have never been there, but I would imagine that doesn't really matter. [/COLOR]

[quote name='indifference][COLOR=DarkRed']I hope no one minds that my posts end up being so long.[/COLOR][/quote]You've kind of lost me on that one. Other than to meet the requirements in the rules that the posts need to be at least a couple of paragraphs, is there another one saying they can't be long? Though to tell the truth I wouldn't consider your posts as being long. ;) Fun to read, but definitely not too long.

If anyone could clarify that statement for me I'd appreciate it.

I don't know what the limit for each post is right off the bat, but I'd be surprised if anyone actually reached it. I have no objection to post length either way. Some are naturally going to be longer and some shorter. So whatever people prefer is fine by me. ^_^ I do a lot of reading so I haven?t felt that any post was too long or too short either. I'm more interested in quality and everyone has done an excellent job.

As for the different ideas people have had about the translators, I have no objections to any of them as it would make sense to me that such a huge civilization would have different methods for translating the languages. And the idea that something is literally translated works too since there would be cultural references that wouldn?t really translate well.

Overall, I love the different directions people are taking in the story. :catgirl: [/COLOR]

[Rachmaninoff]

Well I certainly don?t mind the post length. ;) The whole story has been very enjoyable. And I have to say Beth, your last post?Damn! You had me hook line and sinker for a moment there. Jason?s nightmare experiance was well written and creeped me out! ;)

I knew the story would have sexual harrasement between people of the same sex, but it still creeps me out just the same! But what gets me the most is it's interesting to read! :animeblus

[Rachmaninoff]

All right Aaryanna, my part of the operation to take down the shipping facility is up. Just to let everyone else know, she and I discussed the idea yesterday so she will be following up with the part about tagging people for research since it falls under her objective. I hope I wrote up what you described to me about Crystal dragging Darren with her correctly, if not tell me and I?ll correct it. ;)

[Horendithas]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Well since it sounds like once we get to the facility we won?t be together, I?ll write up a post along the lines of Jared dropping the two of you off and then cover the part where Jared makes all the preparations while the two of you are busy inside the complex.

Unless it would mess up what you have in mind Aaryanna I?ll have my character pick the two of you up later in the day before the first charge is blown so to speak. Then I?ll work in the bit where Jared delivers the ultimatum to the authorities after the first explosion and then the following sequence of events where it all gets blown up. [/COLOR]

[Aaryanna]

[COLOR=Teal]Your part was perfect Darren, even the bit about the holographic technology; I didn?t think to do that. ^_^

I?ve set you up to take over Crystia, though if you want me to change the part where I had Jared set off the first charge, just let me know.

Let the chaos commence! Even though I kind of feel bad about kidnapping innocent people for research, even if it is just a story! lol[/COLOR]

[Rachmaninoff]

[quote name='Aaryanna][COLOR=Teal']Let the chaos commence! Even though I kind of feel bad about kidnapping innocent people for research, even if it is just a story! lol[/COLOR][/quote]I feel the same way when it comes to writing about my character when Jared's around, as if I've betrayed him by not getting him the hell out of there! ;)

Crystia, after reading this: [quote name='indifference][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]It was so enjoyable to tease Darren, and it was quite the temptation to take it beyond simple teasing. Because to be honest, he was very attractive, even more so since he was so competent at his job. Pretty and brainless men were fun, but not anywhere as interesting as the competent ones. Jared sighed, the things he did for duty. Still there was no telling what was going to happen in the days to come and for now he was satisfied with simply putting him on edge. If only because he really did look so adorable when he was flustered. [/COLOR'][/SIZE][/quote]I have decided that you are evil! :p

My last post ended up being far longer than I had originally intended and I blame it all on you Crystia! [reads the post in the main thread again] God I can?t believe I actually wrote that! Look at what you?ve done to me woman! ;_ ;

And before anyone takes me too seriously here, it was wicked fun to write, even if it was creepy as hell to write about one guy harassing another. My poor character is sooo going to need therapy once Jared gets done with him. Only one thing though, I tried really hard to match Jared?s personality with what I read in the original story and with what you have done Crystia so if I was off, let me know and I?ll fix it.

[Is in shock over having spent nearly two hours writing a post of that nature, and is even more in shock over the fact that it was fun] :animestun

[Aaryanna]

[COLOR=Teal][looks at the previous post and giggles]

I'm working on my next post but I've got a ton of homework to do plus I'm helping with the graphics for the OB Survivor, so I may not get it up until tomorrow evening or possibly Wednesday. The teachers have really loaded me down with work this week. So much for playing Zelda later tonight. :animesigh

One final thing: Darren, I swear you and Crystia are off in your own little world! Good grief! Hehe! Reading what the two of you post is great fun! And that last one you did. I have just one thing to say: :animeblus From my prospective you got Jared's personality down perfectly. [/COLOR]

[Aaryanna_Mom]

[quote name='Rachmaninoff][Is in shock over having spent nearly two hours writing a post of that nature, and is even more in shock over the fact that it was fun'] :animestun[/quote]I feel the same way about the fact that I enjoyed reading it. :animeblus

I don't think I could do a character like Jared. I don't know how you do that Crystia. I know he's not real, but just the thought of meeting someone like that is enough to give me the shivers. Especially with all the things he did in the first story arch. I'm just holding my breath waiting for the next time he nails someone.

Anyway...I've put up my part in relation to your objective Mariskah. If I got part of it wrong let me know and I'll change it. ;)

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Just a quick update on our progress, first of all, excellent work everyone. ;) We are getting close to the next main event and since Mariskah, indifference & Darren have told me that they are working on a part where their characters meet, I?ll be holding off until that has been done. What they have in mind sounds like fun so I?m looking forward to reading it. ^_~ So if my post did not set that up correctly, let me know and I?ll fix it for you guys. [/COLOR]

[Aaryanna_Mom]

A meeting between those three? Now that should be interesting. I'll help set the meeting up with the instructions you gave me Beth. I should have the post reflecting that up either tonight or tomorrow.

And I can't wait for the next part to start, even though I've got a good idea as to what it will be. Still I'm looking foward to seeing how you actually write it. :catgirl:

[Rachmaninoff]

Alright Mariskah, my part is up. Let me know if I messed it up in anyway. I've taken the stance that Darren does not intend to answer her questions. I leave it to you and Crystia to finish things up. ;)

[GuyYouMetOnline]

All right, my objective's complete. Now what, SunfallE? Should I just wait until you start the next part, or is there something you want me to do in the meantime?

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][quote name='Takuya']All right, my objective's complete. Now what, SunfallE? Should I just wait until you start the next part, or is there something you want me to do in the meantime?[/quote]The next part is going to start as soon as Crystia writes up her part of the conflict between Jared, Darren and Sara. She's assured me that her post will be the last one and that she will be posting it today. And at that point I will be moving us to Phase Two, which will include new objectives for everyone. ^_^ I've already written up the post and once I see Crystia's post and make any necessary adjustments I will be putting mine up. In addition to sending everyone the information they need. [/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR=DarkRed][quote name='Mariskah][COLOR=Navy']I like the way you set things up Darren.:catgirl: Now it?s up to you Crystia to finish it. (cringes at how much damage Jared is going to do) Am I awful for looking forward to this?[/COLOR][/quote]And I have done so.

If you are awful for looking foward to it, then I am equallly as awful for how much fun it was to write the post. Still if I messed something up by not paying attention, just let me know and I'll fix it. ;)

And now SunfallE, it's time to begin the next phase! [spoiler]Evil Laughter[/spoiler][/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]I've started the next phase of the story. This one is going to be on the short side and only require a few actions on everyone's part. However, OB seems to be having an issue with the PM system at the moment so I am unable to send anyone their objectives. If it is not fixed by tomorrow I will come back and edit this post with everyone's task this time around. Sorry for the delay. :animesigh [/COLOR]
