Hey man. If you looked at the ad I put for this RP, you would understand something very important.

Ana isn't just a PC or NPC is this RP. She's an obstacle. It's her job as a plot device to be as vindictive as possible when spurned and as useless as possible when not cajoled, extorted, threatened, or otherwise interested in the goal. She has her own agenda that not everyone will knows or will even get to know.

In my mind, it's a very interesting premise and a challenge for me as a role player. Because she's my main character, the one with the most pull on where the story goes, and I want to help the players get to the story.

But her point is to be the hurdle on this tortoise track race we call an RP.

And Perinua's is to be the boss when Ana's not around, and a general doormat when she is.

Well, in that case you're playing her well. She's exactly the kind of person I hate dealing with irl.

Not the doormat to everyone, just Ana. She's got almost enough authority as first mate to order a flogging, actually.

That's why I said almost. She can open locked doors though, and invade personal space if need be, so there's that. And she can get irritated with people who aren't doing their jobs(aside from Ana, that is). Not really that powerful, but proud of what she does get to do.

Oh, and yell at people who drink the last of the coffee and don't fill it back up. She gets to do that too.

Ah, the worst kind of despot. The one with very little power and likes to flaunt what little they do.

Maybe Victor should give her a five-fingered attitude adjustment on her posterior.

You'd be proud of little things to if you didn't actually have much beyond Tetris to accomplish. And she doesn't actually like going into other people's rooms. That's just any annoying side-effect of having to check up on everyone after takeoff. The rest of them are what she enjoys doing, in a way.

Posting the meeting in three hours. If your character is not already there, is not there by the time of the post, and does not have an IC reason for not being there (The only one so far is Celeste) then they will be shifted there in my post.

I'll post my response to victor shortly to get that out of the way.

EDIT: Posted. It's shorter than I'd like, but it'll serve as a segway into your meeting post for Lena.

Yeah, uhm... Post will be up today, but I'm delaying it.

I'm not very motivated right now but I should get motivated after band practice. That always riles me up. So expect a post in... five hours! I apologize for letting you all down... but then again, I did say this was a rather slow paced RP, right?

I'm just surprised I've kept all the people around, to be honest...

Take your time, we'll be here when you return.

I find sci-fi RPs to be harder to abandon, plus I like Alastair.

Send your character to the cargo hold for a meeting with the captain. Most everyone is there already, so if you want to talk to someone there you can.

May not actually ship Lena and Victor, but you can totally see what kind of character I'm playing.

I may or may not be drawing some inspiration from Deadpool.

As someone in love with the character, I'm curious. What're aspects of him are you using for Lena?
