Tuesday's JP will be the crew getting and opening all the weird salvage we got for the Candy Festival trick-or-treat event; it will be part of the "Rearmament" post-mission-9 thread I made. Remember it's not just JPs in the plot! I'm counting on you to post on the forum, too.
 
Will they be on the Res when we open things or somewhere else? Looks like a lot of people got shuttles and other large gifts that probably won't all fit on the Res. 😂
 
We'll be on the Resurgence at our hangar at the Central Fleet Depot.
 
Upcoming JPs:
  • Tuesday, October 24: 8:30-10pm EDT (5:30-7pm PDT) - Mission 10 Opening
  • Thursday, October 26: 8:30-10pm EDT (5:30-7pm PDT) - Candy Festival Community Open JP
  • Tuesday, October 31: No JP due to Halloween holiday
  • Thursday November 2: 8:30-10pm EDT (5:30-7pm PDT) - Mission 10

@Sunny D As a thank you for joining our RP and being so active I'm buying some character art for Erika!

The art commission consists of 3 color sketches of her. Can you suggest:

1-3 outfits, preferably 1 or more Star Army uniforms such as the Type 42 (maybe let's not get too complicated with things like power armor since it's a sketch)
3 poses/expressions

I'd like to reply to the artist as soon as possible since she's waiting so please let me know as soon as you can!

Example of her previous work for us:




Note to self: TASK ID: 1040304 - PAID
 
@Wes

Wow, thanks Wes. I've been having fun. There's a lot of interesting plots going on, its just a shame I'm so busy IRL or I'd join in more.

As for the 3 you'd like.

1) - Action Pose - https://en.megahobby.jp/cdn/shop/pr...-45f4-b490-79237e468d84_600x.jpg?v=1591495199
Swap the pistol for an NSP, Outfit should either be a SAINT operative suit Type 31 or we can stick with what motoko is wearing if thats too complicated.
Confident expression, something similar to the figure I've linked would be fine
Runner up idea was a James Bond Shot pose

2) - Neutral pose - https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d3/fd/a0/d3fda0e52fc8ae32184d908f3f2572e2.jpg
Outfit is a Type 37A jacket over a Type 42 body suit similar to Mineko here - https://wiki.stararmy.com/lib/exe/f...662a&media=characters:yamatai:mineko_fini.png
neutral/happy expression

3) - Casual pose - Couldn't find something that spoke to me, closest was - https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cc/41/b4/cc41b47c44c0a8564a7e8e3d002f4c8a.jpg
She's chilling in a nook somewhere with some headphones on, Head phones have cat ears, very important https://www.tradeinn.com/f/13845/138454643/razer-kraken-kitty-edition-wireless-gaming-headset.jpg
Outfit is type 40 track pants and hooded top. Hooded top is unziped and she's wearing a sports bra with STAR ARMY across the bust similar to: https://wiki.stararmy.com/lib/exe/f...dia=characters:yamatai:nora_shinonha:rain.png
Happy with eyes closed enjoying the latest Nyacalypse album (They sound weirdly similar to Gunship), or happy looking at the viewer.

Thanks again Wes and everyone. You've got a good thing going here and I hope I'm helping add to it.

I'll remake the "it's called fashion sweaty look it up" meme with them both sometime lol

Also same thoughts as Wes, been rad RPing with you! You always bring something fresh and new to the RP. I know it's small and niche from last Resurgence JP, but even just adding that the layout of something in Erika's HUD was wire-mesh was the type of thing I really enjoy about your RP! Also Wes is cool for gift art let's gooo
 
That picture of Setsunu playing the cello is one of my favorites. Lily Marlain does very good work.

Also Wes, if you need another bridge crew member you can always NPC Trowa where you need if I haven't done anything with him.
 
@Zanven Brax I ordered a new headshot art of your character by the same artist that did art for Captain Aoba, Yoshiro, and Trowa.

Thanks for sticking with us even when you've had to deal with so much.

@iaincarter How are you doing lately? I've missed RPing with you the last couple weeks. Let's do some RP together soon, okay?
 
10 Missions in the Bag! That's a huge milestone for a plot ship. The Resurgence has been running since January 2021 so the plot is about to turn 3 years old. In the world of online RPs, that's pretty good! Thanks again to everyone posting, planning, participating, and showing up Tuesday nights for JP time.

Mission 10 thread will remain open for some crew interaction as our characters absorb what happened and start meeting the latest crew additions.

I'm hoping to start Mission 11 soon, as well.
 
@iaincarter How are you doing lately? I've missed RPing with you the last couple weeks. Let's do some RP together soon, okay?

Eh, I'm mostly okay. Returned to work on Sunday, so it won't be long until I am sufficiently stressed and depressed enough to need a creative outlet, which should mean getting back to writing...
 
So, uh, who is Yoshiro talking to in this JP? @Yoshiro Tanaka

It was set after the end of this part of the joint post. I went to my quarters after arriving on the damaged Resurgence. Yoshiro had mixed feelings about questioning the orders of Aoba which came down from Irim and Trowa noticed this so he came to my cabin to talk to me. Cowboy had to go so I decided to continue this in SP. If I missed a step in doing this, I apologize. I am new to this so please bear with me.

Cabin 6

Trowa was on his way to the Wardroom to check on the away team when he noticed that Yoshiro had headed straight to his quarters. Trowa had known Yoshiro a long time and knew that the man was probably worrying about how the mission had gone and whatever had gone wrong was his fault. Trowa decided that he would stop and see him.

At the door to Cabin 6, Trowa pressed the door alarm indicating that he was there.

"Come in." Yoshiro said as the door opened. "Hello XO. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He bowed to his old XO.

Trowa stepped into the cabin and glanced around. He noticed the model that Yoshio had bought and built for his brother and smiled at it. "Quite the mission wasn't it." Trowa said as he moved closer to examine the model.

"Yes it was."He said with a sigh. He was expecting a chewing out by the captain for questioning orders but Trowa was here instead. He felt a bit better for that. He saw that he was looking at the model he was building for his younger brother.
