Futuristic Portals to the Afterlife - OCC

[Ronan]

Sure. The party will end as the day turns into night. All previous conversations will be asked to stop as well. New conversations may begin. Rumors from the party will begin to circulate around the cabins. Captain Woods will be busy with the next thing (not Apollo) regarding the search for another portal. He will absolutely need to speak with Torrey and Alexsander before he can do anything else. This bit will lead us into chapter II, where we will finally meet/ fight/ destroy some military members.

Merci! Also, I'm writing out my reply and Nova is about to drag Captain Woods so hard. I hope you don't mind!
(Not literally drag; drag as in ... how Americans say words to 'drag' someone).

I personally do not mind. Captain Woods and Apollo may not share the same opinion as I do, however.

Nova is bout to become Angelica's favorite person

The One Called X : You don't even know how hard Nova is about to drag him. I smiled to myself when I wrote out that section of the reply!
I love Nova so much; she's a breath of fresh air with her bluntness and no-nonsense.

I really enjoy how you write her! She's a very unique character and her voice is very strong.

DKFHDJSKL this is the best part of my day already! Me @ my English: thank you ... for English-ing right. EW I'M EMOTIONAL NOW. DO U KNOW HOW HARD ENGLISH IS WHEN THEY THROWN THE HOMONYMS ARE YOU AND IT'S LIKE?? Jesus which Latin / Greek scholar thought it was a brilliant idea to have homonyms? And then the pronunciation! There are no English rules for pronunciation! Spanish, French, Italian are easy because everything is linear but English like, "g'luck m8. Try not to die. I'll see you in eight years when you're taking the national English exams".

English is one of the weirdest languages ever. xD The spelling and grammatical structure in French makes much more sense in my opinion.

 

[The One Called X]

No lie tho Russian grammar is absurdly complicated but it's still more logical and consistent than English half the time.

It's a beautiful language, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed a lot of English books and poetry (Victorian poetry is so beautiful), and then there are days where you look at Shakespearean sentence and you sign your will and death certificate because there is no way you're going to survive Twelfth Night.

Shakespeare is a completely different species that even native English speakers have a hard time understanding. What I would like to do is read some Victor Hugo, then read some Shakespeare, then try to decide which one I will take to heaven with me.

You poor soul. But I'm serious when I say I love English. I'm reading this book right now called Hild by Nicola Griffith and I am so in love with it? It's not an easy read by any means. It's loaded with imagery and metaphors, but the way she crafts and weaves the story is breathtaking. She's the kind of English writer / speaker I strive to be.

lol Shakespeare is awesome but he made up so many words and the language has changed so much since then.

Like tbh I have a fairly easy time with the language but that's because I am a giant word nerd. Like I have been reading since I was four and I have spelling bee gold medals for three years in a row starting when I was like... nine or ten. I basically learned it as a native speaker and then actively studied it, so at this point I have pretty good intuition for how words break down, what words go by Germanic, Latin, or Greek rules and which ones are just weird. And honestly some grammar rules are just dumb as shit, like the "THOU SHALT NOT SPLIT AN INFINITIVE" thing. There's no reason not to and half the time it sounds more natural. It was just decreed thusly because in Latin it's LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to split the infinitive because it's one word and there is NO REASON THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE A RULE IN ENGLISH, DAMMIT. STOP SAYING THAT THE STAR TREK MONOLOGUE HAS A MISTAKE IN IT. "TO GO BOLDLY" JUST SOUNDS DUMB.

lol I say all this shit and make people think i'm smart and then write things and let everybody down.

Bruh. Victor Hugo all the way. If I ever learn French it'll be to read his work in the original language. He will destroy your soul but like... in a funny way. He is Writing Goals.

DAMN STRAIGHT I'M SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY BITCH

hahahaha i mean humility is a virtue hahahaha

 

[Ronan]

Have I mentioned how much I love Nova?
She is the complete opposite of me, but I love her so much.

I love her even more for her blunt untowardness towards Captain Woods.

I laughed, aloud, at this line: "Give the Captain a goat and he'll gladly fuck it. Name the goat Apollo or Opal and he'll stick in twice. "

Oh. my. goodness.

I can't wait for the rumors to circulate about Angelica, Nova, and Nine's conversation. The captain is fucking goats and Nine is leaving the ship forever starting tomorrow.

 

[SentinelSevn]

All I heard was FIGHT/DESTROY

Ronan *sniff* It's.... it's so beautiful.

 

[Syrenrei]

I petition to have the goat comment made aloud!

Also.. how tf do I like a post multiple times? Imagine this. You're standing in line at a grocery store, and the guy in front of you laughs for a good two minutes at something he read on his phone.

 

[The One Called X]

i NEED the goat comment to get back to the Captain. i NEED this.

 

[Chordling]

[Syrenrei]

Ronan

Just imagine. Just imagine the Captain is returning to his quarters after a long day and he's thinking about what lady he's gonna bed for the evening and he passes two pirates. They don't see him, they're huddled in a corner basically gossiping after dinner and he hears that he's being accused of fucking goats. I mean, our Captain doesn't have any illusions about his reputation but his sexual preferences and prowess are being flushed down the toilet. He can feel it circling the bowl. And what can he do? Get on the speaker and loudly proclaim to everyone that heard the rumor that he does not, in fact, fuck goats? Would they think he doth protest too much?

And then he goes to investigate, trying to figure out how the hell this all got started.... and he finds out of all people it's his young star pilot, a researcher that's avoiding him at all costs and is rumored to be leaving his ship (without even talking to him or approval!), and a carpenter with a robotic arm that has no reason to besmirch his reputation.

look here i don't FREAK OUT she is DRUNK OK and she has a lot of BAD CHILDHOOD MEMORIES that she is SUPPRESSING by FOCUSING on BEING SALTY WITH THE CAPTAIN
