^ LOL aww Jess my dear you're losing that spark aren't you? Your inner fire is dwindling. God hold it together a bit longer and I'll be right back to... do whatever the hell it was I did that probably didn't help you do anything constructive at all in the least, maybe... *looks confused*

Hmm. Anyway, read the previous post and adored it of course, lazy @$$ I am I never got around to mentioning it but will read the new one and THEN rant am sure. Still get that same old feeling of satisfaction coming back to read these updates. The old Christmas morning feel. Yep. I'm nostalgic like that.

Will shutup and go read. Thanks as always Jess!!

Jess · V.I.P 260

What you did was give me that Christmas feeling, numbskull :p And I always (or at least usually) write better when I know someone else will be reading it in the near future, plus I worked well under the "pressure" of wanting to always have something to upload on the weekends.

Anywho, as I said, that's all I have. Wait for your rant or comment at least, I suppose.

Haha no I believe that was a sentiment shared, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree or something, so there *pokes tongue* ;)

OMFG that was AMAZING! I was so excited I read that line for line, only scrolling down a sentence at a time, so I didn't get ahead of myself and could just be surprised. And golly you sure did surprise me! *chuckles* (it's a hick thing, sorry XD). I can't believe Dave's back, ahh!! *insert excited face here* Jonathan's remarks during 'surgery' (his humour) and Rae and Trinity's reaction through that was just incredible. I saw it all so clearly, blew me away, I just... I had to read that twice. The 'ping' of the bullet hitting the floor just superb visualisation - you were clearly in the zone when you wrote this huh? LOL

Where to start, where to start... obviously; David. I gotta say I am floored Rae took it so calmly. I actualy wanted her to snap at him, swing at him, get in his face and bark at him, my god he deserved it, but you know the dignified silence probably got the message across clearer that things have certainly changed since they were togeter last. Dean's attitude didn't surprise me, but Trinity's comment back made me laugh. Her inference she'd already been intimate with either Jon or Dave for a sh!tstir was funny - I probably read that wrong though, I was like 'I don't think she'd even joke about David like that after everything they'd been through' but then again anything's possible. Tai's reaction was spot on considering David never hid teh fact he hated Tai and wanted him dead - a bone of contention is suddenly thrown back up amidst the members of the camp. And Sam and Tera sort of looking at David like that... I had to laugh, I actually had to wonder what was going on in theuir heads as I read that. David's like an urban legend like the boogey man in these parts, they were probably... "ooookay." LOL Yeah... poor everyone really. I'm intrigued like you wouldn't believe to know where he's been and why he's back but it stood to reason he would return at some point; he started off with Rae knowing she was coming back here and he'd been with the others who left for the Doc's ages back so he well knew where he was going. Which makes him even scarier to some degree. I wonder what his interractions with his old friends will be... Him turning his back at the end - brilliant! If that's not a symbolic precursor to future behaviour then I'll be a monkey's uncle! That man hasn't changed a bit - but oh my god it sure feels awesome to be ranting about him again... *sigh*

So Trinity and Jonathan. And here I was assuming he was going to die *lol* Mean isn't it? haha. Funnily enough I've noticed how the last few posts have reversed the character roles, a least between Dean and Jonathan. Dean used to be comedic relief but now he's become like a p!ssed off ex and Jonathan's picked up that mantle - admittedly they both have equal shares at the crazy cake, but they're almost becoming mirror images of one another save for the fact one's a hybrid and the other's... a nutcase. LOL. Oh and nice touch on the prayer btw, stood out. Kudos ;)

I'm really loving the new Rae and the new relationship and dynamic she especially has with Trinity. They've come so far those two, you did hit the proverbial nail on the head at somepoint when Trinity felt like she was talking to her mother. That said it all really. Interesting to see if that stays in polace now with Dave's return; mr control freak, and if Rae does slip into old habits (god I hope not) or Dave learns to adjust to a new way of being after almost 2 odd years now of serving himself. I actually can't help myself, I woud love to see Rae push Dave away and get with Sam (only because Dean won't have her *pouts*) ONLY to piss David off and force him into swallowing his damn pride and stop being such a jackass. Having said that David IS a jackass, he's fun that way, and I'm actually itching to get back in here and take over that pissed off mindset yet again. Not yet though unfortunately.

I'm wondering now at least for the week or two ahead leading up to my eventual return what kind of plots you had in mind for the future you hadn't yet addressed and had thought about. I think we need to take this to a whole new levelI'm just not sure how. I'd toyed with the idea this week Rae pushed David off and hooks up with Sam as the only option left just to prove her point to Davey. Rae may see Sam as more of 'father figure' for Tai that David refused to be so that justifies that. David will be jealous of Tai as always and may go to stealthily take out the little meatbag while he is alone/alseep and Tai goes postal. Not likely. It IS likely however David would convince Sam/manipulate him for his own means into seeing Tai as the monster he really is. Sam may get curious and try to prove this somehow himself and Tai wigs out and goes postal, killing Sam and exacting Rae's revenge - or maybe David's. I'm thinking though as i suggested before Tai needs to snap somehow, we need to expose that monster-ish inner being and in essence cut numbers back to a more manageable level. Not sure what you had planned but Sam will probably die *sniff* because David is far more entertaining quite frankly. If I "kill off" Tai and Sam that leaves my original 2 - Rae and Dave. What's your thoughts on your band of misfits?

ALSO (I will shut up soon, I promise XD) I want them to see the Doc again. Not sure how yet but I DO have an awesome scene in mind where Rae runs into the reanimated body of Tai's father Rob (omfg!) which will stir up a bucketload of crap for my two, especially if Rob's not Rob but something else (still thinking this part up, thinking 'Doc's military experiments' etc). Not sure about seeing the others yet... but oh yeah BRILLIANT touch throwing Jill Valentine in there, brilliant, briliant. Exceeded expectations. Makes me wonder now what happened to the others after they split... and here we are with new things to contemplate... damnit just lost my train of thought. No matter, ranted enough for now, but just wanted to say yes I read it and yes I'm over the damned moon my Davey's back *lol* Ahhh... regardless who said it, it DOES make me feel like a kid Xmas morning when I read these updates (capitalisation warranted due to excitement XD) Thanks for that - and now... guess I'll shut up!

Aw, it does me good to see your ranting again, Ma. Hahah. Now where the hell do I start with responding. Um. Davey I reckon.

I purposefully left a rather large buffer out there for Rae and him to be alone before Trinity came out, largely because I really have no idea how Rae would react. Maybe she did slug him - they're just at a bit of an impasse when Trinity finally sees them. I personally would love for her to have smacked him one, but I stopped short of giving him an early-forming bruise *lol* As for Trinity's comment around then, she meant it just about Jonny, but if Dean interpretted it the way you did, no wonder he freaked XD ... And hopefully David won't skew Rae and Trinity's new relationship, after all it's really just kicking off, and looking like it'll probably be fun. I'd planned initially to have more time for the two of them to realize how their perceptions of each other had changed before he came in and potentially messed it all up, but having half the party gone and one of the remaining ones out of commission was just too good an opportunity. After all he's coming in in good health, and is sort of an 'evil we know' as opposed to Dean (who's recently been outed as a phony of sorts, and a dangerous one at that) or Jonathan (always an unknown really, and now an injured one).

And as for the Doc: awesome, I'd been thinking ever since we got rid of him that I wanted to bring him back

(And no it's totally not because he's loosely based - appearance-wise - on a certain industrial musician I just so happen to adore. Of course it's nothing like that. Eheheh.) I'm thinking we could bring him in with Corey, if Keith/Amy did decide to send him out to check on the Parkians. After all Dean did tell them they had medical problems, and I'm sure, if the Doc's in a stable state of mind, he'd want to come investigate Trinity and Rae, knowing as he does that one's a mutant and the other one's the mother of Taijitsu. I wonder if he'd be able to make the Tai->Taijitsu connection? Or, if he's stil completely pyshco, then he could have sniffed out Tai or Rae or anyone - hell possibly even Jonathan since I imagine his smell would be on Selene and not in a good way, and even crazy, the good doctor would still be looking after his kids, I think. 'Course it all depends on what you have in mind for Rob's reappearance. That should be interesting to say the least in itself.

With cutting down the numbers, I've ended up making the same basic decision as you have - Tera's gotta go, and much as I hate it *long exaggerated sigh* Jonathan's #2. That leaves My original two as well. With the bulletwound and everything, it's too good an oppotunity to waste on not kicking him, and his death is going to either drive Trinity cuckoo or ... something. Sicne it's in the end Dean's doing (he pulled the trigger after all), she's sure not going to be going to him for comfort, so instead I imagine she'll be turning more to Rae, solidifying their mother\daughter relationship - whether Davey likes it or not, I hope. But it's going to be a process, not an abrupt thing, so I get to play with him for a little longer yet *cries* But he's still gonna die, dammit. And then there's also Dean threatening to leave, and Trinity insists she doesn't want him to do that - probably will even after Jonny kicks the bucket - so really who knows what the hell she'll do.

Uh, that's all I can think of off the top of my head, hope that covers it. As always when I rant, blasted overtype has turned on and I don't know how to cut it off, so there's some typos in there. Alas. It's readable I expect. Anyhow, talk this weekend.

I'll rant to that above in due time. Right now my brain is fried from my first exam today @ Uni. OMFG. But anyway. Recieved an invite to this and thought it was right up your proverbial alley:

http://wastelanders.rpg-host.org/index.php?showtopic=14

Role Play set in a world a lot like this only with more characters - the biggest difference is in the infection. And interest. The board just opened up today so it's very new. I RP with all those guys who own/run and RP in it over at Our Town. OT is set in the here and now, this new one Wastelanders is set in around 2013 and the end of the world. Very well organised. I'm contemplating signing up. As soon as I read it I thought of you. Thought with all we've done here you'd be the best qualified to jump on board with me. Maybe you could bring Jonathan across as a character and expand on him further seeing as how you've such an affinity for him. Anyway if you're bored, give it a look. We might have found a new hunting ground together online

BTW worth mentioning all RP is done in 3rd person POV. So no "I" "me" or "my". That can creep people out. Just a heads up.

SECOND EDIT:
I forgot to mention as of this very moment that above linked site is still closed to the general public. It's still in trial mode for the handful of us who were chosen to join in. Nothing major. The training wheels should be off soon and it's open for public posting. And sidenote, they just made me admin! When I linked them this story they were very keen. They'd like to see you on board too if you have the interest/time

**DP - who cares dammit?

Jess, the forum's open if you want in =)

Jess · V.I.P 260

Cool, I'll check that out -- if I bring in Jonathan over there maybe I won't feel as bad for killing him here *lol* You knew what to say to interest me, didn'tcha? Playing on my guilt *pouts* Hahah. If I don't join up before, week after next I'll have some time off school so I will then.

I'd planned to have a fair bit to post this weekend, but the words just weren't there. I have a little, little, little bit, and I'll post it, but I guess you'd say I'm officially burnt out. I had had a few ideas for keeping us amused without furthering the story ("outtakes\bloopers," alternate scenes, heck even a whole branch I'd considered that never came through - would've-beens if the party had gone on Trinity's quest), I just never felt like doing them either. Oh well.
