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.

Sorry for my absence here for the past.. few weeks.

What's supposed to happen?

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.

Approaching characters for interaction..

I'm really bad at it xD

But I'll try to post something tomorrow morning.

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?

Well these are really just things I get from his character and might not be objectively true, but there are a couple things. I think part of it is the disregard for murder and fighting, from an ethical standpoint. The "get in my way, not my problem what happens to you" attitude. For her it comes from being raised in a mercenary company, and to an extent comes with the territory.
You also have the talking to your consciousness bit, for him it's the audience while for her it's just occasionally weird internal monologue. Because I feel like it.
I'm sure I'm drawing on the character in other ways, but those are the two that immediately come to mind.

I see. I personally love his fourth-wall breaks, so I used to do it all the time. I kinda perfected the art of having a conversation with yourself.

I apologize for not posting and for this being a very slow RP. Motivation has left me for the past few days and has been, like, teasing me in the morning but running away out of my grasp by the time I get ready to do anything. To be honest, I think it's the stress of some upcoming things that is stifling my creativity and irritating my procrastination into overprominence. So, again, I apologize so much and I hope you can forgive me.

It's fine. I can hardly give you grief for motivational troubles. Besides, I think most of us are eager enough for plot that we're not going to leave anytime soon.

If you need to, you can always call upon your Co-OPs to move us to a section where we can mill around in peace waiting for your return.

Start thinking of storylines for your characters to do on a small lawless outpost on Mars, if you want. If not, I'll think of a few jobs to get you along.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Just to let you all know, Band Camp started for me yesterday, meaning my time to post is literally null.

BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THIS IS DYING.

Dough has graciously accepted taking the reins for a few weeks for me. Don't worry, everything he does will have to go through me, so there will (probably) be no retconning. Sadly he won't have the plan to make the first post until Thursday (Or Saturday, I also have a book project due Friday that I have absolutely not started, so that takes precedent).

Love ya'll for sticking with me, by the way. I know I'm a shit OP.
