The Walking Dead RP [OOC][OPEN, EP. 4 STARTED]

[Cylarn]

Also, guys, remember... it's just a roleplay. Mkay?

Please.

Please don't do the cliche' "get-between-the-two people-push-their-chests-and-shout-at-them-to-stop-fighting" thing. I am SOOOO sick of seeing that in EVERY roleplay and movie.

I have to admit I was considering it for a moment.

But since Gabrielle still technically has an untreated busted leg, I have to be nice. She's not in the condition for it.

Wait what?

[Camicon]

And the US Marine Corps sorta' has a reputation for its hand-to-hand combat capabilities.

Yeah, but being forty-something and having just been in an airplane crash can't have done any favours for Scott's physical condition. Experience and training can only get you so far. When the body isn't able, then the body isn't able. Besides, John's no slouch in hand-to-hand. He doesn't have the same degree of professional training, but he has plenty of experience of his own. And given that he's younger, and currently in better physical condition than Scott, I'd wager he could at least hold his own.

Beat John in a fist fight? I think you overestimate Scott's ability, and underestimate John's, at the mo'.
'Sides, it's not "I HATE YOUR GUTS" drama, it's "STOP BEING A GODDAMN IDIOT" drama.

Yeah, it's a "STOP BEING A GODDAMN IDIOT" argument. John's being way too narrow-minded on the role of the military, as well as the purpose of the recon.

You use recon when you want to keep track of a group, plan an attack, etcetera. You don't go out of your way to recon people that you want to avoid. It's a great way to alert them to your presence, or at the least, alert them to your knowledge of their presence. That's John's perspective, at least. When the goal is preservation of ones life, one does not actively seek engagement with potentially hostile targets, when said targets can be wholly avoided.

Also, guys, remember... it's just a roleplay. Mkay?

Please.

How many times do I have to say "I am not John. John is not an extension of myself", before people actually believe me? Is it because I write in 1^st-Person?

[Tiltjuice]

Please.

Oh, I was just suggesting not getting personally offended, even though Scott might be, is all.

Also, I think I'm switching back to third-person. Need to sit down and practice a bit more with first-person before using it again. Lost my touch.

[Monfrox]

Don't mind myself. Just got done with a blood transfusion. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Hey, Allison was up an about just fine, thankyouverymuch.
Seriously though, Doctor Lady (*cough*Anna*cough*) should be practicing her bedside manner right now.

Oh yeah, sure. Perform a blood transfusion for a girl that you haven't seen it a long time and that's it? What kind of girl do you take her for?

A girl that initially tried to take his head off, and for whom he probably hasn't given a second thought since leaving the group.
Don't blame John, he's had other things on his mind. Like surviving.

You just don't want to tangle with Mrs. Hyde.

Let me clarify something about recon for you. It might not seem sensible for a group to conduct recon of a group they're trying to avoid, but believe it or not, it's actually pretty smart. Yes, there are risks, but what if you need to know what you're up against. The French Resistance did it, even though they knew that they were fighting an opponent that was more well-trained and well-armed, but wouldn't you want to see how large of a German unit would be rolling into your town? Recon doesn't always need to be in support of offensive operations, but it's equally useful in support of defensive operations.

[Phonencia]

That was actually directed at both of you. I get the feeling you don't like each other very much and the IC argument is bleeding over into OOC and sort of exacerbating an already existing general dislike.

So in conclusion,

Why can't we be friends?

[Tiltjuice]

Gonna go take a shower. Back after.

[Phonencia]

Gonna go take a shower. Back after.

Have...fun?

[Cylarn]

Yes, have fun indeed.

And, again, John isn't contesting the usefulness of recon in general. He is contesting the use of recon in their specific situation.

Just letting Cylarn know, so he doesn't think I ditched him suddenly. Or dropped dead. Take your pick.

[Monfrox]

No fun!

[Cylarn]

I might actually ditch in a second.

[Tiltjuice]

I might actually ditch in a second.

OK. Later man. Night everyone else, I guess.

[Jessjohnesik]

Everything will be fine.
I'll do something after I patch Gabrielle up.
Actually, I can easily perform a small operation on Allison, IF SHELTON WOULD FUCKING LET ME.

[Jessjohnesik]

Gabrielle has a broken leg? Or what?
If its broken leg then why the hell did she not say anything?

[Tiltjuice]

Gabrielle has a broken leg? Or what?
If its broken leg then why the hell did she not say anything?

Broken leg, yeah. She didn't say anything because Allison was bleeding to death and needed to be treated first. Then she didn't say anything because everyone was distracted with Scott and John getting into it.

Get the splint.

[Jessjohnesik]

Working on medical post.

[Tiltjuice]

Working on medical post.

No hurry, I'll be on and off today. Busy day.

Done.

By the way, it's Billy... not Bobby. >,<
