that trailer seems interesting *giggle*

It's a bad film but almost redeems itself when they start playing it for laughs.

sounds like my kind of film then

And that's as far along the path of horrors as I plan to take Andy. I'm not that evil and, being honest, it's more his wonder at the world that I want to explore.

hm.....guys , may I have a question ? How long ago was the Insignia formed ?

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:31 am

Hey guys. Since this takes place in the future, mind if I make up some movies in my next post?

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:38 am

No troubles. That can be fun. Such as Spaceballs having a review of Rocky 5...000.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:39 pm

Yeah, that is perfectly fine

If you get the reference in the my latest post, you get a cookie!

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 10:46 pm

I didn't get it, I guess I am not special... awwww, no cookies for me

Also hey everyone, I had an idea for Barry's background (Going to say it since the GM's didn't object and I wanted to hear how you all felt). Earlier I made Barry mention that his father was "Lost to him" or something to that extent, he hates/blames Insignia for this. Even though it was implied that his father is dead. He isn't, to Barry, he is dead to him. But I wanted hi father to show up, as a minor character really. Maybe annoy or do something mean to Barry or some such. I am not sure what he will do yet, I do have a "Plan" but that depends on how everyone interacts.

Anyway I will give him a character sheet (But I want to see what you guys think if I threw in a character for at least my characters to interact with from time to time). The big important thing is that he would be working for insignia, a wolf, and is a doctor.

well you know my opinion already , buuuut I'm just gonna say it here anyway , I think I like that ^^

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 10:52 pm

I am glad you approve (and that you like the evil doctor idea).

Oh! and guys, when can Ryan leave? I am sure he is bored, done his time, and might enjoy a space movie.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:39 am

Hmm... He might need an escort - if Corp needs to be in the theatre.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:42 am

I would imagine that protocol would require that he is escorted and watched at all times.

Now you're thinking like a writer! I like it!

Erm, Lego, does Lewis know sign language? Because Conall's words were signed to Barry so if Lewis doesn't know sign then he wouldn't understand. Conall is deaf so unless I specifically say otherwise it's safe to assume that any dialogue from him is in sign language. It also means that if Lewis replied aloud then Conall won't have caught a word of it unless he was looking in the right direction which I doubt since he was watching Barry.

Tech is available to translate but, as Conall is a tech genius, Corp's orders were to keep him away from any tech. Dabry's little pad is barely tech so they're writing to each other on that.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 3:49 am

Oh, I know about the pad. Hence why I said "unless I specify otherwise". Lewis (Lego's character) responded to Conall though. I wasn't aware he knew sign language.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 3:51 am

I know you know, Hla my friend. Was making it plain for Lego.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:42 am

Ah, I see. Sorry.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 3:10 am

I think we need a bit of a moratorium on characters who can sign now. I mean, apart from Dabry, everyone Conall has met can sign!

I'm not saying no new signers, I'm saying they should have a stated reason they can sign or, like Corp, a cheat way to do it.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 10:08 pm

Liz and Lewis had to learn it for their diplomacy class. Also, since none of you can figure it out, the movie titles are references to the Decepticon mini-cassettes Beastbox and Squawktalk, who combine into Squawkbox.

After the war, Dr. Vanderbilt was stationed elsewhere in a regular hospital. It was a learned skill he picked up so that he could converse with more patients. Hence we he isn't perfectly fluent in it. He knows the words, but fluency is kind of meh still.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sat Jul 04, 2015 11:13 pm

I only had barry know it from a class that was required during training. but he doesn't know it well and may switch to using a tablet and sign from time to time

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 1:17 am

See? Your characters have reasons to have learned it. I'd imagine our cafeteria boss also knows the phrase 'point to what you want' but there shouldn't be many more.

I'd imagine a standard sign language is now in play? Here two types developed simultaneously (French & English) and other language versions evolved from them. (US is based on the French, for example.)

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 3:23 am

There's an Australian version too called Auslan.

For Conall, I assumed there were different dialects of sign language but I assumed that there were either enough similarities between them for them to get the gist of what each other is saying, or that there's a kind of lingua franca between signers that can help them understand each other despite having different dialects.

Or, as we're a thousand years in the future, someone knocked boffin heads together and got them to design ONE sign language?

Ah. I only knew the ones from Generation 1.

That's a possibility too. I do kinda like the idea of the lads also having their own variation so they can sign without others understanding. To me that's the kind of thing close brothers would do.

That's fair. Like the 'secret languages' family can come up with.

Exactly.

They were from G1. They were released as a 2 pack in 1988.

Hmm... Ah. Checked the Wiki. They were never released in Europe. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Squawkbox#Generation_1

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 3:17 pm

I've never heard of them so I'll play along with you guys.

For those who don't know "kent" or "kenned" is the past tense of "ken" which means "to know" or "to be aware of" in the Scottish dialect.
If you guys ever have trouble understanding the lads feel free to ask any time for a translation.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 6:14 pm

Anyone okay with a time skip to the movie?

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 9:36 pm

I mean, not much is going to change in the few hours we're skipping, sure I guess.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 10:55 pm

Sounds OK. Someone will have to force Corp, of course...

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 12:43 am

Sure thing.

Post by **Serence Frostbite** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 1:23 am

Lego , I sent you some PMs with a few questions , I'm looking forward to seeing your reply on those

His Good friend Doctor Vanderbilt will make sure he comes.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 1:19 pm

Also, that last post I made was intended as a final post before the time jump.
If corp wants, I am sure Ryan would love to also see a movie, and as such would need an escort.
So there is that option if you want to take it.

Legotron123 · Post by **Legotron123** » Sat Jul 11, 2015 10:52 am

1. Corp is starting to act a lot like MTMTE Ultra Magnus.

2. Am I the only one getting the feeling that Corp and Colorado are becoming the http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/M ... icBestBuds of this RP?

Post by **Serence Frostbite** » Sat Jul 11, 2015 11:05 am

well I don't know about the first point , but that "I had fun once , it was horrible" is definitely a reference to something , I think the grumpy cat meme ?

And no , you're not the only one
