Posted, sorry, I had visitors from out of town.

Hey, quick question: Scott, being a cold-blooded gecko, is more vulnerable to the cold. Does that also mean he won't have to eat quite as much as the others? After all, a lot of the energy mammals get from food is converted to body heat. Am I clutching at straws here? ... Yeah probably =P

Hopefully this will let everyone have a feel for how I would be handling time discrepancies.

*Head explodes*

Alright, so I got the first part, but the update about the "Hasty Searches" confuses me. Maybe I'm just slow.

Hmm, I did forget about that part... So yeah, I guess he doesn't need to eat as much as the others. I'll probably just put a multiplier on the foods he eat and a lesser one for his capacity.

About "hasty actions" it's more about the actions where "quickening" adjectives/adverbs like "quickly", "swiftly" and stuff like that are placed with the actions in the post. It allows the player to perform the actions more quickly than usual, but at a penalty to the rolls. It could be something like scanning compared to reading.

As some would have noticed, I added a "Camp" to the map and character information post. That is basically the status and item in the camp. You are allowed to leave anything in the camp as it is your carrying capacity that is limited.

Theoretically, it is "safe" as long as at least one character remains in camp, but no one really knows what might happen. ^ .^ ~♪♫♪

Deh neh!

Coatl_Ruu wrote:"Scott Baxter, professional code monkey." He nodded approvingly when Galladan introduced himself as being from the military. That could come in handy. His last comment, however, prompted some skepticism. "No offense, but you don't seem to be familiar with how robots work. Mostly, the ones people try to make to operate in the wilderness crawl around and fall over a lot. They just don't work all that well yet." He glanced around, and leaned in closer and lowered his tone to an excited whisper. "Of course, no one hears about the really cutting edge stuff. That always gets covered up. Just like this place was, I'm guessing."

Whhaaaaaattt? Now I have to rewrite the story. > _>

Just kidding.

I wrote:Paranoid conspiracy theorist, just a few steps below tinfoil hat level.

In other words, Scott's making crap up under the guise of knowing what he's talking about. =P

Quick! Someone ask him what the heck he's talking about so I get to make a nonsensical rant about shadow governments, the Mars base, and the plot to impurify our bodily fluids! =D

If you to be what it looks like I can do a sketch :3

There's no wreck by the way. The part of the plane that everyone got off from slid off the edge of Aecros, never to be seen again.

There are a few debris from the left from crash though, I do wonder how the plane crashed. o 3o..

So when is gonna to dawn in Aecros Hydris?

Probably after the characters sleep. It's kinda like 2 AM there.

Hello, why no one posts?

I can't post because no one is posting too XD

I'm sorry, today I won't post (again), or at least I don't think so (Of course, I'll have time). I'm a bit busy

Oh just to update up on times, Torrid and Drake will arrive at camp at 3 AM unless they decide to make some other actions on their way back to camp.

PMing Zander for a reminder |D.

I just havn't been able to get on the forums a whole lot. one sec..

Too hard to post an event from this mobile. I'll post one when I get home.

Also Zander, is Torrid looking for something or just lighting the way back to camp? I can move you two back to camp if you like.

Moved Torrid and Drake close to camp, but not yet in camp.

Map updated, now with nighttime colors.

Time difference between Torrid and Drake to the rest of the group: 35 minutes.

Also, torrid placed the batteries in his luggage bag.

Done

Hey, Roxanna placed a berry in her backpack

Hey, torrid arrived back (and assumingly drake as well) -_-

Fragile, might go squish but anyways sorry I didn't note that down earlier and failed to notice that she did.

Zander wrote:Torrid eyed the berries suspiciously before taking a handful of them and holding them in his shirt. As he made his way back with his companion, he noted the faint smell of peanut butter in the air. As the two reached the camp, torrid dumped the berries on the makeshift "plate" before turning to the rest. "zhats all we found, but I have no idea if zhey are poizonouz"

Also, I can't find where this "plate" was mentioned

There's still around 35 minutes between your group and theirs.
Interaction jumps time and cancels out this gap though. = w=

I could have swore it said something about a plate.

I'll edit the post and wait a few days... >_>

Do the players want a short time skip to morning?

How about,(assumed) each player spends a shift on watch so it's even during the time skip.

Entirely up to the other players, ;3

It starts becoming less dark at 6 AM but it only becomes bright by 8 AM. (Altitude, cloud cover and everything)

Galadan volunteered to be the watch for the night and Roxanna will stay with him, so the time skip might happen when Torrid and Drake get in camp officially. By that time Scott and Axel must've already fell asleep by Galadan's advice, so they must post about that.

Or I could post it myself (with minimal interference) as a status update when Drake and Torrid enters camp.

give them one more day and if my version doesn't happen - do yours.

Agreed, Hypergenesis i really really lovwe your avatar

Thanks, I was practicing drawing from a different viewpoint and I came up with that.

Also, Scott and Axel are now prepped for bed so they are assumed to be sleeping as long as they don't "get disturbed" by what happens afterwards. ^ w^

Just wait for the scene between Galadan and Roxanna to finish

No worries, I planned to do just that.

Once that finishes, you can start interacting with Drake and Torrid, but Zander is a bit busy right now I think.

It finished - you are free to go.

THF, TBC or TMH's turn to post.. O 3o.. The. the.. the........

Or I could auto in 12 hours (When I wake up tomorrow.)

A new morning has come ~♪

Weather conditions: Cloudy / Foggy
Visibility: 400 feet / 121.92 meters
Brightness: Well-lit (4/5, it's like turning on all the lights in our house but still not sunlight.)
Temperature: 24°C / 75.2 °F
Humidity: Wet
Wind Speed: 6 km/h

Sorry I couldn't resist posting something like this.
But for those who do know a thing or two about fogs, yes it is an unnatural fog.

Calling for Coatl_Ruu and Tha Housefox.

Is anyone expecting to be busy or is already busy?

I never tried it but I'm pretty sure there's no way you can hear something from 2 kilometers away even in sheer silence... :\
Well maybe Scott can with that amazing 9 Perception...
Could have been something else too. Hmm...

Now don't go and editing you posts just yet. I want to hear some thoughts on this first, and rescuing Roxanna is quite a priority for me too, if the dice would agree...

===================================================================

Well since Drake is an adventurer, he must have quite a few experiences being lost and/or not having the proper equipment. One thing I learned (well heard and read) is that it's always more favorable to be lost with someone else as you two can look out for each other. So Drake most likely knows about this too and right now their group is lacking 3 vital things: Shelter, Sustenance and Hydration.

I don't want to be cruel so I'll say that there are 3 shelters waiting for the group... but the other 2 would disappear when they find one o 3o... Now where they are... Hmm....
There's a fog up, that means the fire is in danger, but then that fog is also water..
Now while the group has some fruits in camp, they're not really going be enough to give the group much to fill in their stomachs.
