*gathers scanners and the equipment to test Wash's vitals*

*sighs and speaks softly out loud to himself*

I really wish we had the time and space to get a EMT med kit. I could really use a portable Electroencephalogram imager.

*a thought catches him and he pauses and thinks to himself*
-Could the butchers at Academy have inserted a virus incoded to spread very slowly as not to stress the body functions and alert the infected?.-
*he shakes his head*
-Calm down, one thing at a time-

{Heh, would be sorta fun to edit the very first post and have a cast list ...

ManicNumberOne as Shepard Book
TeelaBrown as River Tam
CapnRahn as Simon Tam

Or

Shepard Book : ManicNumberOne

and so forth ...

whatcha think? See yer name in 'credits', }

..WASH'S MOVE
"How long have I noticed the symptoms? Uhm, since last night when I stopped sleeping. Does that help?"

Wash wraps up his work on the bridge, insuring that they've escaped the planet's gravity and are on trajectory to the pickup point. He doublechecks the scanners and feels confident no past enemies are tailing them, then sets the autopilot. Then heads down to the infirmary.

Bumps into Shepherd Book. "Whoops sorry there Bible Man didn't see ya there! How goes it?"

..END OF MOVE

..OOC
Well everybody would have to agree if we moved to a new thread and I don't know how to insure that since we're not all online at the same time.

Others are fully within their rights to start a new thread and claim new characters. That'd be another problem though when you jump threads with the same group. The possibility of people who had been characters in one thread not being able to be that character in another.

Then there's the suggestion you made awhile ago, which was a valid one, where we use our profile to 'dress' the part. But what if I started posing as Book or Mal in a different thread? I can't have multiple profiles.

Having a game master is an option. That's not how things are working in this thread so far. There's been no real GM. Just whatever people want to do, the others go along with it. That way things are generally more character driven. If someone wants to be a game master, it'd probably work best if the group agreed to let that one person guide things, and the guide would then not claim any one character, but would instead attempt to represent other characters which are not presently being run at the time. A drawback of doing this in a thread like we have here, is that it means the game only runs when the guide is online. If the guide leaves, the game's on hiatus. A character driven system like this allows people to play regardless of any one person not being around. They just work around one another's absences. There's pros and cons to both approaches.

*Jumps a bit at Wash's last xmission, but recovers*

OK... just get down here as soon as you can, Simon out.

{That is sorta the beauty of it, you can play other character in other 'episodes'

Yeah, I noticed that the Avatar does change in the old threads and does pose a problem.

That is partially why I suggested the cast list in the very 1st post, it would help - in addition, if you saw me with my avatar other than Simon, you could be fairly sure that I am not participating on the RP at the moment ...

The guide - It does help as a guide can play the parts of the regular cast if a member is absent - but the Guide should play the absentee as minimally as possible, w/o making the character 'go to sleep or some other maguffin (a way of covering a 'plot hole'). The guide can also play any 'bad guy' that another member has not claimed.}

{*EDIT* Looks like it is time to go ta bed - send me an email (CapnRahn@aol.com) if there is a consensus on when we want to try to get everybody together to play. Catch ya later my fellow Independents!

..WASH'S MOVE (or reiteration of last move cuz I can't go further)
Heading towards the infirmary, Wash bumps into Shepherd Book at the entrance to the bridge. "Whoops sorry there Bible Man didn't see ya there! How goes it?"

OOC:
Is the one playing Book still online or should I just go to the infirmary? I dunno. I gotta head out soon too cuz I got work in the morning. If we're gonna wanna be more organized it may not be in our best interests to use this message board. Organized rp'ing tends to work better in IRC or email. This is more of an impromptu unorganized kinda thing. Silly but fun. My email addie is zachsmind@yahoo.com but I don't know how we can find a consensus for when we'll all be online at the same time cuz to get that we'd all have to be online at the same time. Not trying to be difficult. I just don't have the answers. =)

{No real answers here either

We can only try!

An IRC would be best, one that you could save the text - I think we would need a 'guide' there. In addition we could make the IDs the characters ... the guide's ID would be - well 'Guide' and have to add the characters name in their post when they act or speak for them.

I am a bit of a novice with IRC, so bear with me. I canna get the one here on FFFn to work, by either method suggested.

Meebe we could use the group chat features in either Aol Instant Messanger or MSN Messanger. Anybody can use either, no matter if you have an account with the companys. Just a thought!

Sleep well and don't work TOO hard!}

Book steps out of Wash's way.

To Wash:

"I been pondering a bit over our little River" "She's had access to Jayne's gun's again."

..WASH'S MOVE
Wash pats Book on the shoulder and then motions for Book to walk with him to the infirmary, "Yeah padre. I know what you mean. Our friendly neighborhood psycher-girl's got me a little freaked too, but we gotta put it in perspective. One. If she's really as smart as the doc says she is and as smart as she seems to be despite her being crazy? Then that means she's smart enough to have dusted all of us by now several times over. So since she hasn't turned us into reaver fodder yet, we can safely assume that she's not gonna. Unless we give her reason of course so we should be very nice to her. Ever heard of Billy Mummy in something called the Twilight Zone back on the Earth That Was? Well that's a bit before our time. Two. If Kaylee is right and River can take out three people with her eyes shut? Well I for one feel like she is not going to be prone to the accidental you know what I'm sayin'? I mean if she shoots one of us, it's gonna be cuz she meant to not cuz she doesn't know what a safety is. Granted, this doesn't make it easier for me to sleep at night, but still--"

Wash stops himself in mid stride. Then notices the two of them are now standing in front of the infirmary.

"Come to think of it, I haven't been sleeping very well recently. I hadn't connected the two before now. Thanks padre! I can't sleep cuz I'm afraid Tiny Dancer's gonna slit all our throats! Anyone ever tell you you'd make a good head shrinker, Shepherd?"

Wash turns to Simon with a big go-seh eating grin on his face. He knows Simon's overheard at least part of their conversation. "So Doc! Howzabout shooting me up with something that'll keep me awake and alert for the next-- well for so long as I live?"
..END MOVE
(heading for bed. While I'm gone just assume Wash has passed out in the infirmary.)

Kaylee's Move:

"Oh, where did I leave that thing...?" Bumping into Wash & Book; grease smeared down the side of her face..."no time to talk"...rushing off again.

End Move

OOC:
However you guys want to do it is fine by me. If it would help any, my email is BoomerGoodheart@hotmail.com & I'm on MSN messenger (same name). Also, right now where I am it is 2:22am (I hate trying to figure out GMT, I'm in the Central Time Zone). We might be able to narrow down a time if we knew WHAT time it was where everyone is! Just an idea. Like I said, whatever you guys decide...Umm...if I'm not on, somebody email and let me know, ok? Thanks!

I did change my avatar, it just hasn't taken yet. LOL.

Since we already have a lovely Kaylee, I'd be happy to step into Zoe's shoes...

IC: Zoey, like any good soldier, is catchin' her rest while she can, completely unaware of her hubby's currently passed out state in the infirmary.

OOC: Let me know how y'all want to play this from here out. On MSN Messenger, I'm listed as Bob & Holli Tempe. Don't have AOHell at the moment. I'm amenable to a new thread for them as want to play or to do it via chat. IRC isn't an option for me here at work, though. (My IT folks have downloading locked out.) If we wanted to get together at a particular time daily/weekly/etc., I'm sure we could work something out. E-mail me at htempe@hotmail.com and let me know. For the record, I am on US Eastern time. (GMT -5 hours).
