OOC [OoC] Miharu Discussion thread

Seems Miyoko coined a new measuring unit for this forum roleplay setting; the Sanjuro-meter.

*cackles*

I was actually trying to figure out what it'd equate to in Newtons, but there are a few variable factors in there.

Star and I are gonna try to wrap up or scene soonish, depending on when I can coax my connection to work again.

As I've been posting all over the site, I won't be here for this weekend. Up until about Monday night at the earliest. I don't mind Sumaru being auto'd if the ship is leaving, but just to the extend of getting him on board, I just suggest keeping him silently in Sora's shadow.

Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

Nyton and the others could hear an explosion in the distance, somewhere out in the night.

It's not night yet there, Wes. We haven't moved that quick. Can I repost this later, or maybe you want to change the time?

What's it referring to, anyway?

EDIT: Oh, Cabbagepatch Kids. Nyton, I think I might have killed a post of yours by accident when I was removing a post of Wes'. Which seems impossible, but now I'm just not sure. Blergh. Sorry.

It's a rainy night in Kyoto...

Yukari wanted to absorb more of the beautiful smell of Yamatai's pristine, cool spring air. But there wasn't necessarily time for that, and besides — she had forgotten her all-weather coat. At least the rain was not too cool on her head as it fell on her. With Sora and Miyoko with her, she dashed into the dry door portal of Kyoto Base from Shuttle Bay E59.

Gusty winds carried sheets of rain across the hood of the STV as Hanako drove it into the commercial area of the capital city. As always, traffic was a little thick, but there weren't many people on foot due to the weather. Hanako knew good places to go from her time residing in Kyoto and from various shore leaves from the Sakura. After a few minutes of driving in the rain, Hanako pulled the STV into a large parking garage connected to a shopping mall, and parked her STV next to a camouflage STV from the local base.

We know both ships were there on the same day and that Eucharis landed after dinner. There was no indication it was daytime for the Miharu, though. Sorry for the confusion. I guess this means Miharu is earlier in the timeline than Eucharis.

What's it referring to, anyway?

A vehicular explosive was accidentally set off by a Eucharis crew member during an investigation.

It's OK. I think this is a good example of how to handle this in the future — that post you slipped into the interview thread I barely gave a second thought, and I'm not keeping up with Eucharis to know what times things are. We hadn't talked about it either.

Now we know better — any cross-posting should be discussed first, so we know what's going on and, if the players want, whether or not we want to be involved.

While I'm not really peeved by this, I more or less agree with Doshii's point... but more from a metagaming point of view.

1. Yes, Miharu is earlier. It simplifies things a lot in this instance.
2. Second, people usually don't ignore explosions and I don't want to embroil Kotori and Nyton in something while the rest of my crew stews in orbit - this end sup involving too few players.
3. that aside, I had already thought of several ways to spice the trips down Yamatai with action and violence and turned them down because I preferred having them be uneventful.
4. Let's be blunt: all this thing going on Yamatai, dressing up and visiting Kosuka is an indulgence I'm permitting myself and it's delaying the plot in regard to mission progression. Seeing this, I really don't want to get sidetracked.
5. I do pay some attention to what the Eucharis does, so I wasn't really blindsided by this. I can nod around to Doshii's suggestion about people crossing the streams (bad!) but on the other hand, I feel damage control is more effective. Besides... this is Wes' site and he's the big boss. I'd rather tell him "something doesn't fit" instead of putting roadblocks in him trying to involve people in the happenings of the setting.

...and yeah. Blas' post blew up. I'm sorry for the bother Blas - can you try to post that again? I sort of remember the gist of it when I skimmed over it this morning... but when I came back from work and sat down to make an answer... I noticed it was gone and I frankly don't remember enough of it to just recreate a Nyton/Kotori composite post.

Yeah its okay. No biggie, just now finding out about it. Will do.

Kotori stopped in her tracks, quite unamused though not otherwise showing any great signs of alarm.

Kotori's lack of amusement hurts me emotionally. *grins*

Your emotional anguish only serves to make me stronger =P

Now I wonder what Asher means by 'two-toned'... I wish I had a supercomputer for a brain so I'd understand his slang! XD

I just noticed...the name of the store Jake came up with is the same as the Surname of the Abwehran Imperial Family.

I think he said the store's name was actually his fiancee's surname or something...

Correct. And I tried putting it on the wiki, and I think I screwed it up.

Even so, it's quite the coincidence.

Ouch he got demoted AGAIN. Man the wrath of Kotori strikes at the rank.

Erk...

Nyton was promoted back through the GM power of the post edit.
