Non HPU: Beacon Of Hope OOC

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 12:58 pm

I've always been able to read minds. This time though, it was just a coincidence.

I like writing Jaken. He's being nice but it's all self serving.

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 7:40 pm

BLARG!

Finished. Finally, that took two hours to write.

Now, was that a more satisfying fight?

pale shades of yellow don't show up well on gray.

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:00 pm

DX

I tried making it a dark shade of yellow so it would show up better...

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:27 pm

Yellows in general are problematic. there's a reason i changed Kobor to more of an orange.

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:36 pm

I put it in spoilers until I can figure out a better color. I have time, since the shiny guy isn't going to show up again for a while.

Anywho, what did you guys think about the fight? was it satisfying enough? Did you guys have fun?

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:04 am

Honestly, i kept expecting the team to run out of ammo/people before that last shot.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 9:55 am

I'll let Fox airlines land a post first before Jennys' response. Technically she can't run out of firepower. But she did almost run out of guns...

Post by **CyberDragon** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 6:32 pm

So 22 has officially withdrawn for now until he gets enough time to participate at the rate of the RP. Good luck 22, and I hope you come back sometime!

Sorry guys. Because of a stomachache this morning, I'm not going to have time to post until after work. And even then, I have an appointment at I believe 7, so I don't have much time after work either...

Post by **CyberDragon** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 8:58 pm

That was a very full post. A lot of stuff going on at once. Make sure you read carefully or you might miss something meant for you.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:07 pm

FEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri Oct 27, 2017 3:54 pm

Jenny does have some metal stuck in her back. She just hasn't felt it yet.

Does Jaken prefer Aliance or Cerberus Uniforms?

I.... don't know?

Guess who's back?
Back again?

Okay, was the site down yesterday afternoon for anyone else? For me, whenever I tried to connect, it just said “disk full” or “too many connections.” Did anyone else experience this, or was it just me?

Post by **CyberDragon** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 11:21 am

It wasn't just you. The whole site was down for somewhere in the range of 7 hours.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 11:23 am

It was down. And then it posted every attempt made to post at once.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:49 pm

Oh good, that makes me feel a lot better about being unable to post yesterday.
Also, random question for Buster that has nothing to do with the post I’m currently working on. What does Kobor look like? You’ve shown us a sketch of Talya, as well as one of the species whose DNA comprises their current body, but you’ve never shown us what said body actually looks like, beyond it looking somewhat like a squid. Personally, I’ve been picturing him as a combination of a Roper from D&D and those two aliens that showed up in the last year of Calvin and Hobbes.
Other thing that I should’ve posted when it first became an issue but I don’t think I ever did, me and my dad can’t afford to pay for internet right now, so I’m stuck using either my aunt and uncle’s internet, or the internet at the local library. This means I can’t do late night posting like it used to do, and I’m really busy trying to balance all the stories I’m trying to keep up on. I don’t plan on this affecting my posting, even if it means I have to force myself to write.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 2:50 pm

I'll see if I can put together a sketch when I get home tonight.

Also, neither of those is even close.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:39 pm

Why am I always way off with my mental images of characters?
Also, Kolt still hasn’t gotten the memo that the wizard hobo isn’t secretly another Allsight, and thinks he might have been working with the pilot to lead them into an ambush. So yeah. Someone’s probably going to have to talk him down, and the wizard might have to use his magic to perform an act of good faith.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:24 pm

you were thinking too vertical. try more horizontal.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:34 pm

Huh. Kinda looks like a brown, headless version of the shadowy monster from season two of Stranger Things. Just with little arm tentacles and another set of legs.
EDIT: just an FYI, I’m not going to post my response to the miraculous healing until tomorrow, since I’m getting a little tired of writing today,

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 7:26 pm

I'm so sorry for the pun.

Is anyone going to answer Kol's knocking?

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 7:33 pm

Y'see, when I said allies, I pretty much meant everybody that wasn't some sort of minor NPC, with exception. But uh, "woosh." It's open.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 8:16 pm

With that 'star trek' sound?

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 8:24 pm

Dramatic Effect

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Sat Oct 28, 2017 8:39 pm

i'm kinda more partial to the sound the larger doors make.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sun Oct 29, 2017 5:34 am

In reference to the pun mentioned above, I had not realised autocorrect had ruined it. Edited it back in now. Re-tail unit.

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 6:15 pm

Sorry guys. I'm just way too friggin' tired to post right now. I might post later, but my next post will probably be tomorrow morning.

EDIT: Took a nap. I felt better, so I posted.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 9:36 pm

so... he's pulling an ultron and walking around in a barely functional scrap body?

Post by **CyberDragon** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 9:40 pm

Pretty much, yeah. Though it's more so that he can talk a bit more eye-to-eye with the Prime Minister. The Swarm bot is inside the broken Security droid pulling things together and manipulating it like a puppet.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:22 pm

Still has me wishing i had a character from the correct time period and planet to make that reference.

Post by **CyberDragon** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 10:47 pm

Hey guys. I don't care much for the sounds my computer has been making, and it shut off twice tonight as if it overheated or lost power. I think I will take it in this weekend and see if I can get it looked at. I don't know if it will keep dying on me, but if it does I might not be able to post as much.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 10:51 pm

whats it sound like? maybe we can provide advice?

Post by **CyberDragon** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:08 pm

Like a really loud fan that is struggling to spin. As such, i suspect the problem is the fan or fan filter.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:09 pm

how often do you clean the filters? (if you have filters on your fans you should clean them periodically so that they don't turn into miniature dust-carpets.)

Post by **CyberDragon** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:13 pm

Nowhere near often enough. Never think to do it when I have the opportunity and I never get an opportunity when I think of it.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 11:16 pm

does it sound like some part of the fan is scraping on something else by any chance?

if yes, then you've probably wrecked the bearings on one or more of your fans from it being clogged for too long. not fixable due to how they're built, that fan is scrap, it'll need to be replaced. hopefully it's not the one in the PSU as that's by far the hardest one to replace.
