Railway to the Abyss (closed, OOC)

[ArchwingPrime]

Okay, sorry about that. Thanks for showing me another tip to roleplaying here. At least I'm actually contributing though 

[ArchwingPrime]

@souldrive11 Thanks. At least I'm learning and also contributing to the plot 

[Drakeardian]

I apologise for not being around the thread @souldrive11 but RL and other obligations have left me busy and forgetful.

...Also, what's going on?

My Svytoj had gotten himself into some deep sh!t on a corpus convoy, and @ArchwingPrime's Altair and my Chegar just barely got off a corpus derelict before it blew. we manged to get his Xiphos up and running, and now we're trying to see if your Leonardo is still floating around somewhere.

Altair looked around and dived the ship underneath the line of defense as he continued to fly towards the location of Svytoj. "Hang on, we're coming in hot. It's a bit risky here. If you can't go straight to make it, hide under the defenses 

Nope, sorry: DM's call. For the purposes of plot right now, neither Altair nor Chegar is going to make it to Svytoj right now. (I thought my post made that clear :x. All paths are blocked to the convoy by weapons fire right now) I suggest you reconsider changing your post to something else, or I will bring the proverbial hammer down on your ocs. Just bear with it until Svytoj and the plot moves along.

Not to mention the fact that your Xiphos now has several massive holes shot through it in my previous post. Not going to mention that either?

Alright. Sorry about that

NO, THERE`S NO MORE ROOM! WE`VE SOLD OUT MONTHS AGO! DIDN`T YOU PRE-ORDER ONLINE?1

yup there's still room. I suggest a bit of brushing up through the archives (all whopping 3 pages) though if you're so inclined.

General PSA across all of the threads I'm in.

I'm going to be heading overseas for the next two weeks tomorrow, and will be off regular posting until the 4th week of October. I'll still have internet, but it's going to be a *bit* of a challenge to post at normal times. (having a 15 hour difference will do that x.x)

I'll post when I can and still lurk in often, but in the forseeable future my plot contributing speed is going to be slow and awkward.

Please don't flood the ooc threads with eidola hills stuff while i'm off, that would make me so sad ^^;

General PSA

Remember when I said extenuating circumstances? I'm in one now.

Right now I'm holed up with my family at a hospital after my dad had a heart attack after getting off the plane. As such, my posting capabilities are arguably not going to get better for the foreseeable future. 

I'll try to lurk and check in when I can, but for now consider me on hiatus. Apologies and understanding from the other players please 😭

This is a heart attack. You don't have to apologize for anything.
Best wishes.

General PSA (with slight rant)

Well, finally back home after being stuck in a hospital and B&B for an extra week. Dad's on the mend, though continuous watchful care will be needed now and until the day my family dies. Could've been a better end to an out of town trip, but it could've been a lot worse too.

Hospital environment is terrible by the way in my opinion for those on the mend. Ventilation was "acceptable" at best, and downright hard to breath at worst. Food service was lousy (I'm 90-95% sure that soups are from condensed cans), and temperature was cold. Really, after surgery I probably would've been back home on Saturday if the operating room and subsequent day rooms weren't so cold that my dad came down with pneumonia right after it (and is still one the mend from that now). Blankets were thin like paper, so even with seven layers it pretty much did squat. Sure, hospital clothes are provided, but they're for ease of getting to the body, not keeping one warm. 

For now though, I'm back to a stable connection so posts will be easier (though not necessarily faster). 

Also, I am so sick of snow already. Winter or not, coming into this and minus 10-15 after a hospital stay in another province is *not* fun.

Ok, nitpicky editor time *grabs red pen and yellow highlighter*

“COME ON!” Altair was taking out some enemy interception as he flew to the Fomorian with rage on his mind before using his Elytron’s most powerful attack along with aiming a Velocitus shot straight through to make an entry before zooming his way inside and turned to a private comm with Svytoj. “ Svytoj, I’m in the ship. I’ll be there to get you soon. If I see any glimpse of Vay Hekk,  I’m taking his ugly mug  down. I have history with him.” Altair then looked around as he went inside the interior of the ship as he heard the pressurization of the airlock and kept walking with his weapons at the ready as he looked around cautiously while aiming his assault rifle. “It’s too quiet in this area to feel right.”

I think you might be presuming just a wee much that Altair makes it into the Fomorian flawlessly without any input from the DM :s

Another thing: what airlock? Altair just attempted to blow a hole through the fomorian by a warhead (I'm presuming it's the warhead ability because again, you didn't specify); not any even through a hanger, but at a random chunk of hull without any forethought, any airlock would have been torn off it's hinges. 

Point two: why's Altair talking to Svy about getting to him soon when Svy's on a freighter on the other side of the space battle? Seems kinda strange, as as far as I know, Cheg never put Altair onto Svy's comm line, to say nothing of the completely opposite direction.

Also: aiming his assault rifle? Where'd his Velocitus go? Or his birdlifter for that matter? Did he throw them away after trying to make an entry? Did they disappear into a black hole?

Did you mean the Velocitus is the assault rifle, because I'm gonna say that's definitely not an assault rifle It even says as much on it's wiki page. Not to mention that If you didn't mean the Velocitus, then which one *did* you mean? There's a list of assault rifles a mile long; if you *did* mention the name earlier please namedrop it again as right now it's pretty ambiguous, to say nothing of trying to wield weapons designed for 0G conditions under gravity, artificial or not. Details man, I require details. Gotta think and take a few extra steps when it comes your posts. 

Might I suggest pulling back your post's timeframe a bit to still traveling towards the galleon in question. Blowing up mooks is ok, but jumping so far ahead without details or input on whether your actions succeed or not from the DM is definitely earning you a sad face. If not, I (and the grineer/corpus by extension) might have to get shall we say...overt with the consequences to your rage blind Excal's actions. Something to consider.

 

On another note,

"{...Good luck, Kid... Good luck...}" Svytoj replied.

Who's Svy referring to? Is it Cheg? the dialogue isn't making it particularly clear who he's talking to (at least, to my eyes). If it *is* Altair, were they always in contact?

(He did actually fly to the other side of the ship and start blasting the ship’s cannon after realizing he was at risk of being blasted by the cannon from the front even though he did get one shot off at the cannon from the front.)

(did he? because you certainly didn't say that in your last 5 posts, including your most previous one. I'm telling you again, make your oc's actions clear and easy to interpret. I shouldn't have to ask you every time to clarify what your oc(s) is doing. If you're going to have Altair attempt to fly behind the ship, type that out in your post. Give a play by play of what your oc is doing. Don't assume the DM or other players know what's going on with your ocs unless you make it clear, because if you do it's very difficult to come up with replies.)

Ok. I’m sorry if I’m such a screw up. I haven’t played Warframe in a long time plus I’m used to loose roleplaying. I guess it’d be better if I just dropped out. I’m just gonna keep screwing up anyway because I’m an idiot who doesn’t know how to roleplay correctly on the Warframe forums despite trying to get people to join mine
