Save Atlantis RPG

Uh, hi, Atlantis. So, Passover starts on Friday. Would anyone be interested in a not-so-traditional seder? I promise I'm a great storyteller. Far better than my own dad.

Erik Lehnsherr

You're invited, too. If you're, um, into enforced family time?

( I just wanted to see if you were drowning yourself in pizza or boxing up your stuff before you left or…what. )

This place sucks sometimes, you guys know that righ I mean, don't get me wrong, I have extremely nice legs. Very defined calves. Muscular thighs. But I don't know that everyone wants the neighborhood friendly guy-that-swings-from-building-to-building wearing a kilt the "proper" way. Right? So I'm just gonna wear my suit under it. ... Is there a Scottish fairy that's going to pinch me or curse me or something? Do I gotta go.. you know, traditional?


Hey, cool, I can check off "do a caber toss in my spidey suit AND KILT" on my bucket list today.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Well, at least nobody woke up today as some kind of weird aquatic animal. At least not that I've heard of so there is that.

[Alpha 1. Teams 1 and 9: Peter B. Parker, Marcus Cole, Kara Calrissian, Jesse McCree, Keith, Shania Andor, Katie Bell]

I'm Natasha Romanoff, your Lieutenant Commander. One thing that I believe in is communication. If you're having a problem, you need to let someone know because you can't fix something if you don't know what it is and our teams are small enough that if something is wrong, it can really screw up a mission.Talk to your team leader and if that doesn't resolve the problem, come to me. I believe in teamwork and I want us to be able to trust each other because without trust, someone can end up hurt or even worse, dead, when we're in the field.

Since I don't know all of you, I'd like us to have dinner together Thursday night if that's good for everyone. I'm not a very formal person so by dinner I mean pizza and beer at Stone. If that isn't a good time, we'll figure something out. Welcome to the team.

So, I can already lift like, 10 tons. I promise I didn't need these bursting muscles just cause I ate a salad for once. They tore my favorite shirt! ... which I can fix myself, but I really want a reason to complain, and my Spidey suit stretches enough sooooo. That's all I've got.

[TEAM NUMERO UNO! (Marcus Cole, Kára Calrissian and Jesse McCree)]

HEY TEAM. So we've got a dude that thinks he's a Spider, a guy that's literally a crocodile demon thing, a cowboy that's way better at guns than I am, and an Asgardian.... is Han Solo your godfather? I really need to know because of fanfic I wrote when I was 15.

Basically I'm probably the worst team leader of all of them. Or the best, if you also hate running and like pizza parties on Fridays. Let's do some terrible icebreaker memes! I'll go first.

You have to sing karaoke, what song do you pick? I pick Torn, by Natalie Imbruglia. Because it speaks to my soul.

Even after so much time planetside and with the memories of Mark Collins, real water showers feel like a luxury. Mark, at least, knew how to swim, although it seems to come with this form, as well.

Although, now I'm hungry. Could someone point me to the stables?

OOC: Marcus is Two-toed Tom, a giant (possibly demonic) alligator that can withstand dynamite and eats - pretty much everything. Slightly backdated because it has been a Monday.

FIELD AGENTS - TEAMS

Per the meeting this morning, and outlined by the Admiral the new team assignments are set.

We'd like to see a progress report from team leaders, LCDR and Commanders at the end of the week.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

It’s rather tempting to see how long I’m allowed to stay on this spacecraft. I’ve never experienced anything like this before.


But I suppose I shouldn’t miss all of the equinox. Sabrina, I’ll be around later, once I find my way home.

Today? Pigs are gonna fly.


Or at least one pig is going to.

Takes a whole new meaning to "eat me", thanks Porker. Thanks a lot.



I need to make a pig suit.

Attempting a hookup and failing miserably.

( Would you feel better about being a slob if we turned off the lights? )

Happy Valentines Day!

Wow, already Valentines. That snuck up on me. I thought we had at least another week.

[Gwen]
Soooo short notice and you can totally say no, but you want to crash the Ball together? No expectations. It’s too late I know.

I should've known being on an island would mean islandy things, but swinging through trees still has nothing on a city. (I definitely totally still pretend I'm Tarzan, though.)

[SPIDERFAM]

Hey, recon mission is turning out to be Real Mission. Raincheck on Sci-fi? I left like $20 on the kitchen counter so you guys can get pizza. Or whatever kids eat these days. Avocados. Chipotle. Feel free to have a party! Condoms are in the bathroom.

[MARLENE]

Hey I know I'm annoying and have my head up my ass, but I'm also annoying elsewhere and looking to be out on a mission for a little while. Miles and Gwen are like, weirdly functioning adults, but uh- check on them once or twice for me? Please?

Guess what I found! It's almost as good as a dragon. In ten days time, we will be enjoying a holiday here in Atlantis! For those of you who, like me, aren't familiar with many holidays, it is a day dedicated to the power of love, and it's called Valentines Day. Or... Valentine's Day. I'm honestly not sure. I did some research on it, and it appears as if Valentine was some sort of holy man in his day, but honestly all that bit was a lot of reading and I got bored so you'll have to look up the rest of that if you'd like some history because I definitely didn't stick with it. But the holiday dedicated to St. Valentine is wonderful! It's a celebration of love, which I think is so essential. In dark and uncertain times, there's nothing quite so reassuring as knowing that there's someone or someones out there waiting for you to get home, is there?

From what I can tell, the main colours of this holiday are pink and red. There are lots of images of lovers gazing into another's eyes, beautiful small paper artworks with embroidered lace, and somewhat bafflingly, what appear to be winged babies wearing poorly-constructed diapers shooting people. I'm not sure what that's about. Perhaps it's to remind us that life is fleeting and that we should love while we have the opportunity before babies kill us with tiny arrows? I've also discovered through the research that wasn't historical and dull that people are supposed to give one another chocolates or cinnamon candies on Valentines Day, love letters, roses (or other flowers), and send anonymous letters of love to their crushes. So if you're single, this is still a holiday that you can benefit from!

I'm very excited about Valentines Day. It seems optimistic and fun and lighthearted, and with the days being so short and spring seemingly so far away, I could use the distraction.

[ Filtered to Bethany ]

Will you be my Valentine, Bethany Hawke? I've festooned the collars of our animals with roses, and frankly, it's already a mess, but I promise to clean it up.

[ /Filter ]

Well chirp chirp I guess

[OOC: Gwen is birb, Sam is birb mom. Anissa is birb sis.]

I don't need help! Nothing I'm writing is coming out the opposite of what I mean! I know what to do! I completely understand what's going on. This is the best thing. I love it. I don't wish it would go away. I AM NOT LOSING MY MIND.

Please don't kill me. AHHHH! DON'T STOP

[ooc: morning!]

hlp im squrrl

Somebody just gave me a 'How to Get Organized' book. What're they trying to say? I'm organized. I know where everything is.

Hey there...whoever's reading this! I'm Gwen. I juuuust got here? And I had just gotten back home too so I don't know if you get jet lagged from dimension hopping but if that's a thing I hope there's a remedy.

So this "device" is a) not built for comfortable web swinging (I need a sling for it or something), b) claiming Peter B. Parker is my "guardian" and that is hilarious. Never fought in a war but I gotta say this place seems way more chill than most theaters of war I know of. -_-

Anyway. Yeah. It's cold up here. I'm gonna go.

PS: SPIDER-PEOPLE ARE NEEDED IN RECEPTION.
