No idea.
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.I needed an early night of sleep so I could wake up early and prepare a presentation on Indeterminacy as an Epistemic and Moral Principle in Jamesian Pragmatism.

Jamaican practicalism?
No, Bostonian.
Just want to say I hope you all had a good day and if any of you work in retail in the US and work tomorrow I am so sorry.

Rather than offering empty apologies, I have this to say:
The crowd gathers, and now my shift begins. It shall not end until my lunch. I shall take no breaks, hold no phones, father no children. I shall wear my uniform and seek no beauty. I shall live and die at my post. I am the smile at the door. I am the cashier at the register. I am the associate that guards the merchandise of corporate. I pledge my time and attention to my company, for this shift and all the shifts to come.
You swore an oath. Now uphold it.
Godspeed.

I am become Death, Destroyer of Miniputts.I wish it felt so glamorous and noble, all I felt when I worked it was dread and stress and spent the entire time wondering why the hell it still exists.

Well, that's what you get for thievin', rapin', and slavin', you filthy bastard.
I am become Death, Destroyer of Miniputts.They shall be garbed in the most pristine uniforms our tailors can fabricate. They shall be armed with blazing price guns and dazzling smiles. They shall be untouched by stress and rude customers. They shall be my SPESS EMPLOYEES, AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.Yet again, I suggest a retail worker AU.

The saddest thing about all of this is that with all the MA Vanilla Characters retired, there is no one to comment on the irony of Angus' last statement.
New Group Composition.
Trivia:- Calvin, Kara and Lilith all got aged up only to account for the 10 year peace and not the additional 3 years of fighting. This means during this RU's version of MA:AG, Calvin was a mere 16-17 years old and remains the youngest of the Veterans at 29.
- With Fergus retired, Kara and Lilith are the only veterans of the last Fed-Cent War (and until the Yaksha incident the only ones who have fought the other faction directly).
- No Characters aged 23-27 have retired/dropped the game. Everyone who has dropped has been either older or younger.
- Drop Outs, including Retirements, have been even F/M on the Cent side but only male characters have dropped out from the Feds, with one exception (Sabre's Van Owen).
Also, stat comparisons;
Federation
- 6/2 F to M ratio
- 25.5 Average Age
Centauri
- 4/2 F to M ratio
- 23.8 Average Age
This is the oldest the cast has been and the most feminine.

Older and more feminine is a pretty good way to describe me most days.
Wryte; post more Bug Comics, already.
Parable; Post more period. If this keeps up, Fergus is going to make what is left of his Hive more wheel chair accessible and then go out to lead the crew himself.
Hydrall; I want to do a collaborative Post for both Fergus/Gemma to move the Centside plot forward (Discuss Fergus' retirement and new role, then assignment time) and a post for Isra/Captain Ganzo for the Feds (Show off the ship based off the original post which I can't find and discuss living conditions, then assignment time).
If everything goes as planned, we'll have both sides on to their next mission shortly.
Anything else need to be done?
Otherwise, I might ask/bug people to come up with personal goals in the group. A couple people have clear attachments or emnities but by and large, there isn't too much drama and most people are sort of out of sorts when not in combat or lack stuff to do. I'm trying to figure out how best to change that.

Lilith and Elaine are walking drama factories. What are you talking about?
I am become Death, Destroyer of Miniputts.Not everyone, but it's just a thing we need to work on in general; more interaction hooks.
Just remember, if we really find nothing better to do, we can de-Retcon Yokolit.
Who or what the fuck is Yokolit?
Sorry. Been watching DMC 5 playthroughs.

MA's shorthand for a plot tumour.
Ah.
Whelp, I've found the Christian denomination that Mira belongs to...
Lilith should get captured so Mira can convert her. She'd fit right in.

I was waiting for Kara to get upset about the bionic comment...
It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.Lilith's some vague brand of Catholic.
I've been pushing for Yokolit since the beginning.
These statements are related.

Wonder no more.
(Also where's everyone else?)
