Sounds about right.
Currently in the process of revamping all of my lore, including my signature. It's gonna probably take a while, better make yourself comfortable.

Sounds about right.


How many brands do you have with naughty words as their name?

Like I told Bogi on Discord:
I mean, it's basically "troop transport experiences engine failure on landing approach to island, crashes on beach, Marco gets pretty fucked up by shrapnel and crash impact but tries to save as many guys as possible thanks to the sheer fucking adrenaline rush, has a soldier he had a severe crush on die in his arms before blacking out due to pain and blood loss, wakes up in hospital, has PTSD and should be dead but isn't"


I allude to it in his factbook and got into it a little more in my second IC post for this, but I've never actually properly written about it.

I've just been a real goddamn ray of sunshine lately, haven't I?

:/ Too much pandemic, methinks.

For now, it's an older C-130, though I might change that later since they seem to have a pretty good accident record.

problem there is that wiki says the C-5 is exclusively operated by the US except in cases of joint ops and the like, so there's no reason bretten would have one barring something prompting the US to export the aircraft.

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.
