1) So the Lockewood police force is half corrupt anyway, which means they're as likely to kill you as they are to just ignore whatever you're doing. The militia is trained in anti-riot tactics, but things have to get insanely bad before they start killing unarmed civilians- the ones who died in the previous riot were mostly trampled or the like. So they would only use lethal force if they were being attacked by the equivalent of a revolutionary army with significant weaponry and it was their only viable option.

2) Yes the main weapons used are laser guns powered by rechargeable plasma batteries, so a nighttime battle would be shiny.

3) No one was arrested in the last riot- those who survived simply dispersed.

4) Beetles use anti-grav tech; that's why they float above the ground.

5) It's midday- the lights don't start to dim until dusk.
Yeeeeah ummmm....

" With a following of over a hundred people, he led a march that resulted in himself and over half of his believers perishing at the hands of the Union militia and that, of course, made things much worse."

That don't sound like a normal 'trampled or the like'... unless it was most likely spun that way lol.

Regardless of what they do or don't do, the Union militia are gonna be the bad guys. Just because they don't open fire at a lethal setting on a crowd of unarmed civilians doesn't mean people don't believe them capable of doing just that and, as I mentioned in Yukiye's post, the stun setting is equally dangerous in that situation because people do get trampled.
 
The militia is trying to keep everyone in. So if they catch people trying to slip through the tunnels, then it's open fire. Otherwise it'll be stuff like crowd control tactics. If a civilian shoots first, they will open fire.

The IU militia only know to keep everyone in, use force if need be. Most people are going to be too afraid of them to try anything like that (after setting an example with the first group to try and escape)


By chance our team will be able to sneak by, probably cause a huge distraction, and our group will go into the tunnels. There may or may not be one person in the militia who sees us leave but can't do anything about it
 
Caffeinated Joy Caffeinated Joy Profiles looks good to me- just need to add a bit at the end of their bios to explain how they ended up in Lockewood on the day of the Lockdown. I'm also gonna need drawn versions of the FCs to add to the roster- aside from that, golden ^^
Done and done. it's a quick and dirty explanation about how they arrived in Lockewood, but it does the job.
 
To be honest Ayame, i would have a post long ago, but when i finished writing it and read it to myself i just thought its not good enough and deleted it and started writing again.

Right now im on my 4th rewrite.....

Perfection is not a requirement ❤️ don't stress's yourself too much bout it!
 
its not even about perfection, its just that when i read it back, it just sounds/reads wrong.
Like almost half of the post could be easily misunderstood, sounds plain wrong or contains so much repetition of simple words like Very, that I'm annoyed at it.
but i know i cant keep delaying the post forever so i will do one more rewrite and that's it however it looks it will look like that

Ah okay I totally understand that. I get like that too.*stares at an RP idea I've been working on for over a year because I keep not liking things*

How sad. *looks at 13, a3 size, 290-page notebooks full of ideas for RP/Characters/Lore and stuff, that i clearly wont show to the world since i don't feel they are good enough or that i have enough energy and stuff to make them happen*

Yeah maybe i shouldn't have said that.

I have a few flash drives full of short stories and novels I haven't done anything with for the same reason. The big question in my head is always, "What if I'm the only one who likes them?"
 
I only have like 5 stories but they are long. like the longest one is 35 chapters with the shortest chapter being 16 pages [its in word so standard size page and font] while the longest chapter has like 48 pages.....

yeah at some point i will need to do something with all that stuff......
 
I feel like I'm writing these posts hahaha

I'm currently trying to work on a book idea. I've got an outline but.. so many things I have to work out. And shit a million ideas that don't feel right

Omg all I could think of was "execute order 66" I'm dying, the post was great and I love seeing a response to the situation that is less "take action and gear up" and more "scared shitless wtf is happening"

Lol me. I was wondering where the inspo for the post came from... Overloading regine... Code 66... Kids getting ughs... Poor kidssss...

But yeah I'm taking the civilian punk getting caught up in the nightmare angle lol. Like Cals still athletic but defo NOT a warrior
 
I will need to work on the text editing but the post should be up any minute now.
Things to work on the text editing:
1. Make it more readable.
2. Cut the pieces into readable chunks.
3. Find a fitting color for Phil speech and though [find our rules on including thoughts in the IC]
4. Add more fluff text [non plot relevant text but it adds substance to the world.]
5. Find out when i need to ping for interactions and probably where to put it. [Perhaps on top of the post, or when the player/character is relevant ping them there in the text?]
 
So umm. What do you peeps think about the post?
 
He's such a kind boss I love him and can't wait to see more of him

Pike is DEFINITELY going to favor the bar (again) when he gets there
 
I wouldn't exactly call him kind..... but i have no word that fits him better so i will let that stick.
But if i had to describe it then its easily "I treat you how you treat me." and "If you are one on my people then you are one of my family, and i don't want to kill family over something stupid."

Also will wait with making another post till BuggaBoo makes his, and the next turn.

Megilagor Megilagor I liked the post~ If you want some help finding colors for speech &/or thought, lmk ^^

As for interaction pings, they're not required or anything but, if you want to include them in your posts, my suggestion would be to have them in the hidden scroll- up to you though~
