Scoped and Dropped

voiceofwriter; Good-bye for the time being.

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:49:23 -0500

I feel sincerely bad for saying this, but I don’t think I am able to roleplay in this busy setting for a while. Events in my life have been taxing on my emotions and it is to the point where I am just exhausted. I am lacking so much enthusiasm in my personal life, I don’t think I have enough to spare for my roleplay career. Coming back to a dash where everything and everyone is moving along happily and quickly is a bewildering and strange… and often times I don’t feel like I belong.

It it no one’s fault. I’m not casting any blame. But right now I think I need a bit of peace and quiet.

I will come back (that much I know for sure) but I don’t know how long it will be before I get myself figured out and situated. I’ll try not to be long, and perhaps I will visit every so often to let you know that I am still about. But unfortunately current threads will have to be put on a hiatus for now… I just cannot bring myself into that writing-cheer I had a while ago. Really, I can’t apologize enough because some of you wrote wonderful starters that I’d love to dive into… I hope that we’ll be able to continue on with the threads upon my return.

Be well and be safe, everyone. Hopefully the winter-blues have not affected the rest of you. If you’d like to keep in touch, you can reach me on MSN.

since… well, who talks on personals anyway. ;;

But because I would like to keep this blog as ooc free as possible, I’ll be creating a side-blog for mun conversations only.

Feel free to pester me there; I will provide the link as soon as I am done. (:

Happy holidays and Tequila se’lai.

voiceofwriter; Brief hiatus.

Sat, 15 Dec 2012 23:59:40 -0500

defier-of-fate:

I should have made this announcement a couple days back, so I apologize.

Anyway, I’m afraid I’ll have to go on yet another hiatus due to several things. One of the more important factor being my brother who just received surgery for his foot. I will be busy taking care of him for the next week with only a few hours to spare. With that said, I’ll be slower than usual in getting replies done.

Also… I need to find a way to get my computer running faster. I’m thinking of getting the hard drive cleaned out during my hiatus so hopefully it will be taken care of by the time I am able to return.

In the mean time, I ask for your patience as I am doing my best with my activity.

Thank you. (:

Ah, okay. That does make more sense. Like I said, being a Halo noob, I don’t know too much about the Forerunners so I got a bit confused. xD ;; Thanks for the clarification!

And looking into the background of Halo a bit more, it DOES seem really similar to ME, so your theory got me really absorbed. Haha. OTL [/nowneedstobuyanXBoxtoplayHalo;;]

Devils... Monsters... [EVENT/OPEN]

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 17:36:00 -0500

vadumee:

Rtas had many nightmares. Nightmares or death. Of the Halo Arrays firing. Oh many more to even count. But none could ever match up to that of the Flood. No. That Parasite would always crawl into his dreams and taint it all. It ate everything it touched, everything anyone loved. It always ate.

Least now the Elite need not worry of the Flood anymore since coming to Pandora. It was not longer present in this world, galaxy, dimension, whatever this place may be called. It brought a sense of warmth into the Elite, something that he had not felt since being in the war. There was no threat, therefor there was nothing he need not worry about. The breeze was well, flowing unto his face. Atop he sat on the roof of a building looking at the clean, untainted air. Safe. That’s how he felt. Safe. Yet that safeness wisped away as he saw things moving in the distance.

They’re here.

»~~Waiting~~. It talks. Whispers ~~things~~. It eats. Everything. ~~Love~~. Memories. Flesh. It kills. Don’t run. We all ~~die~~.

Slowly Rtas got up from his sitting position, keeping his eyes out toward the distance where the Parasite followed. Screams he heard in the near off distance. Gurgling noises. Talking. It was talking. Eating. No one was safe. Everyone was going to die. But those thoughts were reaching the mind of Rtas but never once it registered inside him. Because he knew, he knew damn well what was going to happen. It was whether anyone would fight to live would it happen quickly or slowly.

He closed his eyes, reaching back to grab his carbine. We fight again. Turning his back toward where the Parasite came closer, he made his way down toward the street. Walking through the crowd that ran away from the Flood. Most Humans gave him odd looks wondering why he would walk toward it and not from it. But there he was. Face to face with his most hated enemy. It. The Flood. The Parasite. But it waited. It waited for Rtas to make the first move. Whispering it’s demonic speech.

Yet he felt a presence next to himself. One that would stand up to the Flood. “You are brave. Just remember. They go for the neck.”

And to think that “luck” had pulled him out of his own dimension to take a break from fighting off giant space squids and bio-synthetic zombies; what a twisted sense of humor luck has. Then again, this should have been expected. Being in a strange place, surrounded by things he’d never witnessed before… he should have detected the falseness in the sense of security this world held.

Firing at the wave of enemies with his assault rifle, he did his best to assist as many civilians to safety. What were these things? Being so preoccupied with warding off the monsters, that seemed to have a voracious appetite for flesh, the ex-officer hardly had the time to take a good look at them. The citizens who have fallen were reduced to a bloody puddle in a matter of seconds as the parasites swarmed on them. Flesh-eaters… definitely not husk-like behavior.

After about a round of bullets was lodged into each limb of the monster, the abomination collapsed in its own pile of appendages, quivering in its last moments before finally becoming still.

Dead.

A heavy exhale escaped the turian as he walked over to the unknown specie. The bridge of his nose wrinkled in distaste while he jostled the corpse with his foot, inspecting the grotesque tentacles. There were no cords or tubes attached to the being, suggesting that it is entirely organic. Not the work of the Reapers. Not knowing whether to be relieved, wary, or even disturbed, Garrus simply readied himself for another wave that will surely come by.

As he installed a new thermal clip, his pale gaze caught sight of a tall silver-armored humanoid. Cool blue eyes zeroed in on the alien as a number of questions ran through his mind. Who is that? Where are they from? How did they manage to survive? The very last question was answered quickly as he took notice of the unfamiliar model of a weapon that the stranger held. With his finger on the trigger, ready to pull at a second’s notice, Garrus approached the other with cautious steps. “You there.” He raised the muzzle of his weapon as he stopped just several meters away. It was an uncomfortable start for a truce, but until the other proved himself to be an ally, but… it’s better to be safe than dead. “Who are you?”

forallmygooddeeds liked your post:REAPERS = FORERUNNERS Basically that’s…

[ I hope everything fact I’ve stated it legit because I know almost nothing about Mass Effect because Im a noob ]

// It’s definitely plausible, which is what I like about it. I find it really interesting how you interpret the moral stands of Reapers since most people (including myself) view them as ruthless and unsympathetic beings that destroy without reason (or at least a good reason). And, ruthless and unsympathetic though they may be, your theory provides a better purpose for them. Or that’s what I personally think.

The only small problem I find is that Starchild had stated that Reapers exist to destroy and harvest particularly advanced civilizations so that new ones can come into place. Also, they have pointed out that by allowing the civilizations to progress and flourish, they will inevitably destroy themselves by creating synthetics that will someday surpass their creators.

Hypothetically speaking, Starchild could be talking about the advancement in technology and the eventual discovery of the Halo Arrays — therefore introducing flood outbreak — but I am a bit more inclined to believe that he’s talking about situations that are akin to the Geth and Quarian wars. BUTbeingthehalonoobthatiamwhoreliedonwikitounderstandyourpost,

But I really do like that idea and crossover, and I’m impressed that you even took time to really flesh out the idea. It’s very parallel in comparison to most other theories or speculations I’ve seen. o: //

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:47:00 -0500

prayerofkrios:

“Garrus.”

The name of the scarred turian slipped easy off his tongue, body angling to face the other. “I step away from the ward, briefly, for a… personal matter. I didn’t expect to run into a familiar face.” A curious coincidence indeed, to meet Vakarian out of all the aliens in the galaxy. Curious, but not uninvited.

“Taking short leave from the Normandy?” There hasn’t been news of the ship’s docking and the usual bustle that came the Commander’s presence was noticeably absent. But perhaps word has simply failed to reach him as of yet. The flow of information is rather slow when time is spend idling away in a hospital.

“Hm…” came his response, low and quiet as he rolled his shoulders in a small shrug. Thane had always been a bit obscure with matters of his own, so the vague description did not surprise the turian. And though the curiosity lingered, Garrus knew better than to prod on in business that did not concern him.

To the drell’s question, the former vigilante lifted his talons to scratch the scarred side of his cheek. “You can say that… I’ve been given the responsibility to manage certain operations alongside with the Primarch.” A dry chuckle escaped Garrus. Shaking his head, his pale gaze fixed itself on the arid ground before he jested cynically, albeit in a light tone, “To think that they’d turn to a rogue officer for assistance. Guess they’re getting a bit desperate.”

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:30:00 -0500

sovereignfist:

“You and me both, big guy.” He gave the… being, a once over before actually looking up at his face. It wasn’t often he had to make an effort to look at someone; tilting his face down maybe, but not upwards. In fact, he couldn’t recall the last time he did — or at least after he reached his current height. And no matter how long Gadot tried to catch up, it never happened.

Height wasn’t the only this impressive about this stranger either. His armor, his very skin is definitely a sight to behold. “Don’t tell me you’re an alien.” Snow has always been pretty good at accepting the strange and odd things, but the thought of aliens was a bit out of this world. No pun intended.

… Well, at least the human didn’t pin him for a bird or a prehistoric creature. Humans seemed to have the tendency to compare his kind with some other things; most of which seem quite ridiculous (and cringe-worthy in some cases) in his eyes.

Wrinkling his nose slightly, the turian shrugged his shoulders and scoffed, “Well… not so much alien anymore,” or at least in a foreign sort of sense, “Most of you humans recognize us as turians.” Garrus paused briefly before inclining his head.
“… but I guess you wouldn’t know what a turian is either.” he concluded. Despite exuding indifference, inwardly he felt a bit estranged, being so distant from his part of the galaxy.

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:18:00 -0500

bahamutruler:

“I would understand why Humans would do such a thing.” If the Yuke had not always looked for knowledge and acted like any other being, she too would have tried to avoid such a creature. At least she knew of the name of this being, Turian. Hopefully more knowledge would come to be known of this species, it would be interesting to know more of such a kind.

“Not many others know of my people.” Considering that they were wiped off the face of her realm, that would be expected. Actually, Amidatelion vaguely remembered a Lilty recognizing herself as a Yuke. Although she couldn’t remember, no matter. “I am a Yuke. A soul that possesses armor.” More or less anyway. Before, the Yukes had flesh, now they are metal. At least that’s what Amidatelion had read before in the old ancient Yukish texts that she had studied thousands of years ago. Such a thing she wouldn’t really be able to remember from the time she had read it to now.

Blinking once, Garrus regarded the other with skepticism. According to his people’s beliefs, spirits existed. After the passing of a being, their souls would live on and guide the living. The ex-officer always supposed that it was a religious myth to comfort the dying or the ones suffering loss… As for himself however, being a pragmatist, he never would have humored such thing. At least, not until this moment.

“… So you’re something like a spirit possessing an armor?” he guessed, folding his arms across his chest. It was a concept that was a bit difficult to process, but it’s definitely a notion he’s willing to try to be open-minded to. After running into all sorts of people, it seems that being open-minded was the only choice he has.

~~voiceofwriter; How the hell did I not realize that we have a JAVIK? WHY AM I NOT FOLLOWING…~~

… right. Apologies for my extended absence. Err… I was actually busy trying to get my other account sites to take off. And I’m not very good with managing accounts so again, I’m sorry. orz

I’m definitely going to try to pick things back up on here too. Get replies done and maybe work on that open starter that I’ve been meaning to post a while back, ~~ahaha~~…

With that said… I’ve been a bit inattentive with what’s been going on as of late on my dash, so if I happen to owe replies (which I’m sure I do) and I somehow missed yours (which I’m sure I have) it would be great if you submit the links HERE. (:

Much thanks and I’ll try to be on more often since I don’t want to get fired as Garrus… orz ~~and they say my virtue is diligence PSH. [/dies]~~

voiceofwriter; Slowly working my way back onto my accounts… It’s a bit difficult since I’ve been in a pretty bad funk for the past week or so; personal issues with the family and such got me feeling irritable and antsy to say the least. And… well, I haven’t been feeling as motivated to make a return since — being out of touch for so long — I feel slightly out of place, haha.

Nevertheless, I anticipate on making a comeback. First on Garrus (since I’ve been in an one-turian kind of mood), then on Lightning (Etro knows just how many replies I have for her…not to mention those horribly overdue starters, ack!).

I can’t promise that I’ll be dishing out replies and starters, but I’ll certainly try to push myself.
If any of you are waiting on a response, you are more than welcomed to drop a message. If you’re not… well, you can drop a message anyway. ~~Garrus (and Lightning) rather likes receiving anonymous messages.~~

In the meantime, keep warm, everyone. Good luck to the people who are trucking through the remaining weeks of their semester, and have a happy Thanksgiving holiday. (:
