Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Great. :-]

Also, we must collaborate in how/when Math meets Sara's sister, Catherine….before, during or after.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Well, in his bio (or hers, I don't recall at the moment) it says he meets her when Sara brings her along on one of their times off from the CDF - so that would be much later (though I think I remember he met her at the university, too, but wasn't seriously interested in her back then - or something like that ^^).

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Yes, now I recall that somewhat.

Hmm…maybe during one of Bo's attempt to see Sara, she agrees, but brings her sister (whom could be visiting the campus for future admission?). This of course would help in keeping Bo from getting ahead of the horse… get him to know Sara as a person and not get his face slapped for being too eager, too soon.
This could set the stage for Math to somewhat meet Catherine before she attends the University too…before he takes interest in her even later when in the CDF.
Could be Catherine…uhm, how should I put it….developed more, between that visit and when she finally entered the University and the CDF?
Naturally Catherine would be too young to draw Math's interest before she even attends the University. But it does set the stage for when she does attend later and Math's interest peaks when in the CDF.
This of course would be up to Math.

But in all, it would establish the links we need to keep personal matters separate from our later political decisions.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Hey Bo & Push-up, good stuff!

Either Sara brings Cath along to said date with you (and I'm not THAT stricken by her at that time), or another friend of hers… who either happens to appear damn hot to me or who I largely ignore in favor of that other girl I keep watching. ;D And just maybe we got a candidate for any of those roles too.

At any rate, Bo, I'm pretty sure you won't score that night!

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Haha… poor Bo, I almost feel pity for him.

And yes! It works. I'm slowly coming back into writing mood (despite 38°C) again.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Sorry to interrupt but you should try Rugby instead.  Full contact football, no pads, but they don't do things like this:

If I ever went to a soccer game, it would be to watch for idiots like that, falling on the ground like little girls when they haven't even been hurt.  That one guy even made the other person hit him.

Anyway, carry on. :]

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

*lol* Yeah, soccer's always worth a laugh or two…

But Rugby is pretty cool. Tried it once with some of my firefighter-comrades… we had lot's of fun (ok, we didn't care much for rules and it was raining, so we all were rather muddy afterwards)… *g* So yes, Rugby would be fine with me.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Ha ha, true Sam. I believe they even train the fake falling and whimpering.

And yeah, Rugby alikes are real cool. I'm up for that! And now, Sara, we know what we're gonna do when next we meet. ;D

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Oh yeah, count me in!

And afterwards a bit of Yoga if we're still able. *lol*

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Rugby, yes, that was what I was meaning. Thank you Ms. Koortyn. :-]
But not carbon copy it, as we are in an entirely different galaxy. Let’s see how creative we can be when mentioning some of these games.

Oh, as for this thing you call Yoga?… Strange word it is.
Still, think I will stick around a tad and… -ahem- …observe this Yoga thing you plan to do…. He he… :p

Sara…you mentioned 38C. Hope that is the climate and not your core temp.

And for you, Mr Charismatic… I score often enough to forgo cold showers…




….sometimes. :lol

Well, they do. ;] (Just watch the beginning.)

It was the temperature outside of my body… though when I think about it, it could well be it was the same inside… certainly felt like it. ^^
Thankfully, it's a bit cooler now.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Ah, good to hear, Sara…that it were weather. :-]
Highest we have gotten here in my state (NJ) was 90F (32C), and I believe it was in spring…a heat wave, no less. Lately, the highest has been high 80F (31C).

Interesting surveillance videos, Ms Koortyn.
These observations caught on video prove that use of the force is commonly used in downing players in these games… Jedi, I suspect.
 :-P

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Math wanted me to stop by and introduce myself…hi Bo and Sara.

Still trying to figure out my bio and how exactly I'll fit in to this story….any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Welcome aboard!

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Hey Jisela, good to see you!

Well I liked what you sketched out about your planned bio and am sure it will provide a cool background for our encounters. Perhaps you'll like to join some sports team some time as well. Or, in the very beginning, start out taking bets on our school teams' games – and approach Bo or me about doctoring something – which might lead to a first clash.. and/or later conflicts within the teams.

After that, school authorities have it in for everyone involved so you switch for much better paying (but also more dangerous) out-of-school jobs in the swoopracing or other bigger events.

Just some ideas. What do you think?

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Welcome to Epics :]

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Hiya! Welcome to Epics.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

And a welcome from me too.

Re: Of Dust, Blood & Blues

Greetings, Miss Cole.  :-]
I’m looking forward to interacting with another creative writer in our current storyline.
I’m assuming you will start writing in our common past (Matheron, Sara and Bo’s). This is wonderful and will add much more colorful perspectives to all our past.

I like what you and Mathareon are conspiring so far. Yes, it will certainly make for some good conflicts. :-]
But do give it good thoughts on your character’s actions and commitments when concerning fixing school games on Corellia.
Honor is taken very seriously.

Example: Like the wearing of the Corellian Blood stripe on one’s pants. It is a serious matter concerning honor. Those caught wearing such a stripe, whom have not earned it, at times find themselves justifiably killed by other Corellians.

I am pointing out such an example to illustrate that if you do decide to go on the dishonorable path, that it will affect your character from then on. There is little to no forgiveness for dishonor among Corellians.

I just wish to mention/point this out, so that you won’t find yourself writing your character in a corner.
You will be writing in the past with this storyline, and must think ahead as of what you plan to do when in the current galaxy timeline stories (older and in the present).
That said; Welcome to EPICS.
