I've been told that trying to write things out as if you are describing a movie helps. Don't get too literal (like, "and then the view panned out"), but definitely try to capture a good description of why a scene playing out would be evoking.

Although I guess they're including things that aren't technically related to the household, like bathing in ice-cream or serenading the ghost of Pierre Trudeau.
Swith, I, um, may need a while before I can join any IRCs. My computer's video-card is busted, so I'm stuck on my iPod until I either buy a new card or build a new PC. There seem to be a lot of apps for IRCs floating around? But the people reviewing them all seem to think they're attempting to replace their children with bog monsters, which is usually not a good sign. Bog monsters are pretty cool, but if an app has the power to abduct your children, it has the power to do other things, and I'm concerned about what they might try once they realize I don't have any.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

Was thinking about you the other week, wondering if all was well. Of course you can submit an application.
CoOP-wise, we have plenty on board at the moment. That said, you're still a valued member of the family. Welcome home, Zark.
The setting has drastically changed. We're currently locked in a dimension that prohibits outside influences (from other pantheons, nations, etc).
We've also defined the omniverse better. These changes might influence the type of character you normally play. viewtopic.php?p=26035153#p26035153
@ALL. A work mishap requires my full attention this week. I'm unable to post IC beyond a few short words (will do so shortly to free up teen club). I normally pass posts on to Swith to be incorporated into the IC but I haven't had the opportunity to read our thread and jot notes.
This means we're having a bit of freeform. Use it wisely. Romy was working on an equipment list. Might want to have soldier characters pick up on that and itemize their stuff. Char!Bran is the only character to have had the opportunity to see the city from the distance. Bran might want to read through my IC posts and offer his character's observations to the main group still in the dining room.
@Teen Club. My IC post will not be Torsii's tribute. It's a bridge to it in order to give your characters freedom to move on. I'll post a proper tribute once I have free time.
@Tilt. Would you mind sending a character to the front desk to handle our newcomer? I'll need Klaus for Torsii's tribute post.

If you give us some cliff notes about him we might be able to do it ourselves.

He followed the bright line of a road to a pair of large dots in the distance -- our people, apparently -- then the dark, swarming mass that must be the Fiends chasing them to the Building. Beyond was a motionless dot, a friendly casualty. Damn! Whoever it was must be the mission's goal. Lifting his eyes a little higher he saw a hazy shape, but couldn't make it out... but on the horizon was a brightly lit spot with skyglow over it. A city! It must be! But that was something for tomorrow. Now, it was time to make sense of the situation on the roof.
Swith Witherward wrote:To the far west sat a larger city, this one sporting electricity and only clearly visible to those on the roof with enhanced vision. Skyscrapers rose from its base, their lights glittering in the night air. Vehicles traveled its roads, ferrying its inhabitants to their destinations. Had these people no idea about the horror in their own backyard? It seemed the Fiends were either reluctant to go there, or else kept at bay by something unseen.
