The future of warfare in UC.

@njrxll: It's actually a literal truth. I'm on Palomar Mountain when I say that.

Also this is what I get for carpooling, I got home approximately two hours after I thought I would.

EDIT: Also, out for the night. Not sure at this point what to put up for Uni, will deal with in the morning, my apologies for that.

It's a big selection of little snacks you eat before the proper meal. It's just fancy finger food. At a place like this I'd imagine things like cheese and crackers, fondue, fruit platters, dips, cocktail prawns and breads being on offer, but at the moment people seem to be conjuring what ever suits their characters best. It's not that important so just imagine whatever you want.

They're tiny, one-bite finger foods. Sometimes, they won't even be finger foods- one thing that's been done is they pile caviar and some kind of an emulsified cream with twenty different ingredients into a spoon and you just eat everything out of the spoon in one bite. The point is 'one bite'. And since it's a fancy party, you're probably not going to find stuff like hot dogs or hamburgers in the traditional sense. Everything's going to be garnished with something that offers a contrasting note, or brings color to the dish.

Of course, you might know this if you turn on Food Network every now and again. :P

Okay. I'll wait until someone near said table notices Roy to post there.

[up]Don't watch TV much these days... Though I usually watched the Food Network every now and then in the past... (They lied to me... I expected that girl from "Barefoot Contessa" to be... well, barefoot.)

'Barefoot Contessa' is the name of Ina Garten's first cookbook. Barefoot implies that you're at home, which is what her show and book are about- replicating restaurant-style dishes in the home kitchen.

So...has everyone decided to not enter Character Plane Crash? It was my first time bringing in a character for a CDT but it seems like the topic is dead.

Maybe a few years back. But now it's become quite taboo on the writer's block forum to introduce another of these threads without discussing it here first, which the OP didn't. That and the fact that we already have two other threads going and I'm too focused on University. The reason why I'm not participating.

It does remind me though. I better tell the OP something. Has anyone else done so already?

Help?.. please...

It's just that... Well, we weren't quite sure what to make of a thread that had been started alongside two other active threads without any discussion on whether if people actually wanted to do it or not. We've done threads like your plane crash in the past that just didn't work out due to other issues or people bringing in outside threats that ended with phallus-waving. It didn't seem to fit with the spirit of the CDTs, and plus there was the stipulation that characters had to be crafted of whole cloth for the thread. This is primarily about working through preexisting characters. It reads exactly like an RP from the right side of the forum, which isn't what we're going for.

Your initiative is commendable, but we sort of wish you discussed it with us first.

Bummer...I guess it must be too late to join those other threads (if not officially, then because it'd take too long to get familiar with the other characters). Guess I'll have to keep a watch for the next thread.

EDIT: [up] Plane Crash isn't mine >_< I am however the only other poster.

Not really, someone just recently joined University on the current page. They just needed a bit of a recap.

[up] Oh, okay. Can I get a recap too? and maybe some links to pages where relevant stuff about the scenery or characters were revealed (the last one might be asking too much though)?

What about Dinner Party? It's only on five pages thus far. I think it'd be easier to join.

Join Dinner Party. Hell, it's just getting started. Just read the OP and do what it says to get a sense of the place and you're all set.

Edit: Sorry about mixing you up, Elfhunter; my 3G's a little spotty, so I'm going to leave now.

Wait...Is there anyone who can get a view of the stage right now? I believe that would be anyone in the dining room...which is everyone i guess.

Anita Carr is a fairy. Fairies in my 'verse communicate in ideas that are magically relayed to the minds of listeners in such a manner that no matter what sounds are actually coming out of the fairy's mouth, the mind perceives it as whatever language is most comfortable for the listener.

Trying to communicate to Asayu in this manner with the Harvest and stuff would hurt Anita, right?

[up]The Harvest has been renamed — the theme's been moved from yearly cycle to daily cycle — but yeah, sort of. Without worrying about the details, we'll just assume for ease of communication that telepathy that is neither deceptive in nature nor tainted with the power of the Eyes and Teeth. or something like it, is unpleasantly nausea-inducing but safe. (Kokabiel describes the feeling as comparable to being in a sauna in winter clothes.)

Should we use location tags for Dinner Party? Night has, but so far they seem unnecessary.
