...So they give birth to breathing corpses, that just kind of lay there and waste away?

YOU said that, not me. :p

Well, let's say for giggles that this is true. Could a spirit/demon possess such a soulless body? Cause I totally see a twisted demonic act being taken as a 'miracle' by some unwitting people. And would make a lovely retcon on Lev and Na'lsa's relationship. The second one won't happen of course, but still.

Well, if none of the others find this too far in the morbid/ick direction, I rather like the idea, personally.

Salone: making sure we earn our [M] tag. ;)

<--Still our resident angst-bucket
Sounds interesting yet slightly disturbing. But you know. Disturbing is nice.

Had an idea for a subplot sort of thing, not sure if I should run it by you guys or keep it a surprise. Involves heaven, since Na'lsa seems to be pushing us in that direction (which is perfectly fine by me :D).

So are we waiting on anyone particular?

Waiting on someone to wake Shealtiel up still. :p

Are we all back in the APC, or at least near it? I could probably have Fee give Shealtiel a psychic nudge.

I believe we are. Except possibly Innon, need to hear from Arsis on that.

Dara will probably just sit in a corner seat being her usually unobtrusive self and not bother with Sheal'tiel much unless it looks like he's getting physically worse.

I think I'm going to play now that Dara has a slightly loose grip on reality right now, in order to cope with some of the stuff this group gets up to. She might end up walking in a perpetual dream like state or lapse fugue one of these days, though probably not for a while.

In the meantime, she'll stick with what she knows. "Oh, bleeding. I can fix that" *blatanlty ignore the reason for said bleeding.*

Edited my post to wake up Altiel, because we've waited long enough.

Kind of waiting on Arsis, but he seems unable to get on lately. Hope he's all right.

I suppose we can move ahead and let him catch back up when he gets back. I'll post soon.

Was wondering how much food they still have left.

Did we have any food to begin with?

Besides the capsules, I mean.

...sandwiches. (-laughs at inside joke-)

Not much. Dante had enough capsules for maybe 60 days?

Na'lsa/Lev doesn't...well, you know.

I suppose we could make obtaining food our next goal?

That sounds good. Sorry for being so absent again :/

It's okay, Serra.

And I think that's what we'll do next.

Well I've already mentioned it, as well as mention that Jean vanished. I figured I may as well, I would assume she took off with the sword to go return it, like she would have wanted to do.

That's... a really good excuse for her leaving, actually. Good thinking.

I kind of wish she'd been around for the last encounter, though. :p

Uh. Before I forget.

So I was thinking about side projects in college (since I'll actually be able to draw without being nagged at by my parents)...and figured Esch might do well as webcomic.

...Scratch that, I just really want to draw Esch stuff.

But I won't if anyone doesn't want their characters/whatever to be drawn...or like...the whole storyline and such...for copyright purposes...and yeah. And if I were to draw it, Suze, you'd have to give me a -lot- of reference crap; same with everyone else.

Just running the idea by you guys.

That seems like a pretty cool idea. I wouldn't have a problem with you using the storyline or any of my characters. I'd be willing to help you with whatever you might need, too.

Tracking down Sage to get her permission for Jeanne might be a bit tricky, though...

Also, posted.

Any suggestions on where we could get food from? I'm kind of drawing a blank on this one.

It's fine by me, and if you want I'll e-mail Sage to see about getting her permission Espy.

As for food I have NO clue honestly...

That'd be nice, Serra.

What could possibly be preserved from before the apocalypse that they might find locked in airtight containers?

I'm sure with Fee's extensive practice with the Network she's be best for finding something, but Serra (me lol) has no idea on what to find.

If there's anything like a wilderness around, Dara can probably find something to munch on. Mundane chores are her speciality. ;). Not to say that it would be good, but she wouldn't be likely to poison anybody.

The usual stuff: roots, fungi, miscellanous plant matter, some manner of small vertibrate...etc.

That would be good for a short-term fix, but would it serve for stocking up?

Only if people want to wait around for a little while to make jerky and dry things. Works better with salt too.

Salt...we're right next to the sea. But I don't think there's gonna be much in terms of animals around there.....?

seaweed, digging for things, eggs if there are seabirds around, something mollusky...

Is Kasdeja going to put up with that sort of delay? :p

Or we could just eat Kas. -another bit of innocent whistling-

You know, that just made me think, so far, Na'lsa hasn't consumed anything truly unearthly. Even the Saint was human at one point. I really wonder what kind of effects his eating something other-worldly would be...

If Kasdeja still wants his people alive when he gets to Eden, he will. ;).

Or we can tie some seaweed to the roof of the APC and let the sun and wind dry it.

How about Na'lsa channeling his inner lion and hunting for stuff too?

Posted.

I think Kas would let us run out of capsules and food first and by then, we would get to a city of some sort, guessing on the amount of food left. It's been too long since I checked inventory.

It's been too long since I've updated the inventory. @_@

...What is this inventory we speak of. ">.>

A bit scary when you really think about how much they rely on capsules and how much they must look like they've all got jaundice. ...also, how're they filtering water? Because don't capsules make you dehydrated?
