Save Atlantis RPG

Cleaning up after toddlers is a full time job.

Which is why I've decided, what's the point? Why bother?

I think I'd rather just pour one out for Athos, instead. He'll be happier at home, though, with no shortage of wars to fight. Still

As grateful as I am that Anne put a plan in place should this happen, I'd really counted on never having to face a toddler's sad "mama?" eyes. The house feels more than half empty now. For such a soft-spoken woman, she leaves one hell of a mark.

Anne was one of the recently attacked - they were bold enough to go after her during the day, though it was indoors.

She's stable and I've got the wound wrapped but the bleeding is only slowed - we could use an escort to the hospital, if anyone is available. [Location]

[MUSKETEERS]

Anne was attacked while she was out - we're headed to medical now. It's not nearly as bad as it could've been, but she'll need stitches for sure.

Porthos - you're both still fine? I have some crosses in a box upstairs, if you want to put them out. They're said to help.

I don't know what came over me, since the meaning of my name has never made much of an impact on me, but I decided to do a little research on it today.

It turns out that D'Artagnan means "from Artagnan", a town in the Southwest of France.

But I am from Lupiac, in Gascony, not Artagnan. Why in the world did my parents name me this? I'm afraid I have more questions now than I did in the beginning.

[ TWO CHARACTERS EACH decide to do some research to learn what their name means.]

It's been an interesting morning. On my way to the training grounds, the fountain that I normally pass was no longer turned off or frozen. It was instead processing flowing chocolate, which I certainly hope isn't just what Atlantis decided to do with all of the unsold chocolate after Valentine's. Following that, there was a vendor with a cart selling mint and chocolate milkshakes further along my path. I sense a theme.

I feel I've become rather attached to the idea of your ship, when the weather warms. Which is to say that I'm happy to join you in the impatient waiting. Do you have plans this evening? I fear before the day is through, I will be over-chocolated if that is possible. I was thinking a light spar, followed by a greasy dinner and drinks at a bar, followed by a different kind of spar if you were interested.

[Matt Murdock, Ezio Auditore da Vinci, Herc Hansen]

I've had a request brought to my attention regarding specialized training for powered individuals. While I firmly believe that it's best that powered and unpowered agents and specialists are best when mixed and able to supplement each other, I can't argue the benefit of giving superpowered people an opportunity to cut loose against targets that would otherwise be fairly deadly. Mind, this would certainly be something of a stand-up brawl more than anything else, and I'd have no issues with allowing non-powered but extremely gifted agents an opening to join in. This seems perfectly suited to the Danger Room.

However, I'd appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Suggestions are also welcome.

Don't really care much for this Hallmark holiday. Hitting the bars to drink until I pass out. You're welcome to join in just don't expect much conversation.

If a child refuses to take a nap, are they resisting a rest?

Wanna hear something really wild, come find me. My voice coming outta this face is bloody weird. I'll probably need saving from Louis soon anyway.

The oddest thing just happened to me. I was outside, complaining about the weather and how I wished it were sunny, and it suddenly turned sunny around me. Just me. And even talking about it here just made it sunny indoors.

I don't know what's going on but I'm assuming this is Atlantis magic at work. The snowstorm was — you've got to be kidding me?! — the sunny weather is very nice. That's better.

Well, let's make the most of this. Anyone that wants good weather is welcome to come join in outdoors.

[plot: Anyone ONE CHARACTER EACH brings up weather today, whatever weather they say happens within a 5-foot radius of them.]

I've got to ask ... is there an album that you left behind (some brilliant piece of music that you played over and over again) at home you find yourself missing? If so, what is it? Have you tried to find it here? Is it the same?

[ATHOS, HERCULES, EZIO]

Hello. I wanted to suggest, with the recent COS activity, that we meet to discuss simulations and opportunities to prepare agents using advanced simulations that include our multiple specialties. Athos, if I'm stepping on your toes, I beg your pardon. I've read the reports and they are concerning. While COS have attacked and kidnapped our agents before, I want it to be the last time. And well, four heads are better than one.

[CLAIRE]

Checking in ...

[GWEN]

Hey. I wanted to say thank you.

[KAREN]

How are you doing?

[Musketeers + Anne]

Happy Birthday, D'Artagnan. I've had an obstacle course built for your birthday. Somewhere in there, you'll have to get past Porthos armed with a pugil stick, dodging rubberized fire from Aramis, and solve a riddle that I have personally put together to pass the final hurdle. A gift will be waiting at the far end, should you make it.

I had expected to put in a more personal challenge, but I seem to have an issue with walking today.

[Isabela]

Any big plans for tomorrow? Or rather is it common for your friends to throw you any kind of party that I should be aware of?

I trust I'm not the only one unable to walk normally today. Well, at least I can walk, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too loudly.

I make my way back here only to have my wife leave the way I did a few weeks ago.

I don't understand how this happened.

Someone please distract me with alcohol and good news.

( 'I take it this isn't normal for you.' )

Mm, this cane I'm sporting has me wondering if I oughtn't just complete the pirate image and go for a peg leg. I think I could manage the look.

Is everyone back to themselves, now? No more comas? What a bloody week...

[ Team 3 + Daisy and Clarice ]

Round yourselves up, my loves. We're tasked to meet with Command on a rescue mission. I don't have too many details, but we're off this afternoon.

[ Kirkwall ]

My team is off on mission! Be back soon!

( Delivered to Athos. )

Since I've made the decision to stay, I have a proposition: if any of you lovely individuals with an interest in swordsmanship could do me a favor to keep me fresh, I'd very much appreciate it. No need for magic - I learned in the traditional way of Grey London, for fun (so no charms, defensive spells, etc etc). I won't claim to be among the very best, but I'll give you a good workout, and I'd be happy to recompense your time with either payment in coin or goods.

Much obliged.

Mm, blue may be my color.

[ Leonardo ]

My darling, is there anything I can get you for the ship? I certainly want to make sure you have all you need.

I suppose a little change is a nice thing! I'll very much miss my former roommates. Thank you for being so kind to Louis and me!

Unrelatedly, I do encourage those of you who like sweets to visit the marzipan tent. They've done a wonderful job! It reminds me of my childhood.

[ Aramis & Porthos ]

Oh my goodness, I did not expect this! The guardianship paperwork has gone through, clearly. I hope you're both alright with us living together as a unit?
