Posting Times in this post are GMT+3 Archer, Frankie J.: gosh i'm sorry Belle 12 Nov 2015 at 20:18
Belle Starr: Nothing to be sorry about! Just an oversight!
12 Nov 2015 at 20:40
Volodja Uljanov: Seemed to be fun idea get Stahma as a donor. 12 Nov 2015 at 21:05
Belle Starr: It was! Not finished with Belle's post, but will have to do it after my afternoon class! RL keeps interfering with my game life! How dare it!?!?! LOL!
12 Nov 2015 at 21:21
Lena Marr: Actually, that post can end there, as part two of it can stand alone, so, please, no one hold off on their post!
12 Nov 2015 at 21:25
Archer, Frankie J.: i'm very curious. this outfit out of Fort Ka'shaa, who are they? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:02
Archer, Frankie J.: the whole organization, what is it? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:02
Volodja Uljanov: You mean our team, Archer? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:15
Archer, Frankie J.: the whole thing from Fort Ka'shaa to the Vigilant. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:42
Archer, Frankie J.: seems like a very highly resourced group 12 Nov 2015 at 22:42
Archer, Frankie J.: who are they? who/what do they represent? and how did they get contacted? who in Defiance sent for them? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:43
Volodja Uljanov: Most of background is in our older stories. Our guys and girls are bunch of misfits who gathered to have some adventures and help each other and the rest of the world. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:48
Volodja Uljanov: We have former? idealist Belle who is genetically altered by her father, so she turns into Volge 12 Nov 2015 at 22:49
Volodja Uljanov: We have her protege Lady Christianna and her friend Erika and her aunt Sandy - Belles only living relative 12 Nov 2015 at 22:50
Volodja Uljanov: We have sociopath, psychopath and so on Atticus Batman who got into the team thanks to Belle 12 Nov 2015 at 22:51
Volodja Uljanov: We have or hacker and thief Taffer and his friend Vo the mechanic an his sister Luuzuk. Vo is also Belle's boyfriend so most of older members were brought together thanks to Belle's efforts. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:51 *
Archer, Frankie J.: it has no name? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:52
Volodja Uljanov: Paradise Protectors 12 Nov 2015 at 22:52 *
Volodja Uljanov: Chris enetered the fortress when his car broke down. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:53
Archer, Frankie J.: as in "hello, we're the Paradise Protectors. your mayor sent for us and we're here now. you're safe." ? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:53
Volodja Uljanov: Volo smuggled himself into the team inside a crate. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:53
Volodja Uljanov: Actually team went after Chase Loneheart who went missing a month ago in our game time. That's why most of us are there. We gathered a search team but since things were bad The Vigilant and it's crew were sent to help. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:54 *
Volodja Uljanov: So all the trouble is because of the villain Victor Fontaine who wanted to capture Chase once he found out Chase's whereabouts. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:56 *
Volodja Uljanov: Since most of our team are basically good guys or former bad guys we decided to help people of defiance. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:57
Archer, Frankie J.: at whose request? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:57
Archer, Frankie J.: a bunch of military guys roll in to occupy the NeedWant street and the citizens are OK with that? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:58
Archer, Frankie J.: this is the information I'm asking for 12 Nov 2015 at 22:58
Archer, Frankie J.: the mining town is under Fontaine's control. its people want help? they send out for help from anyone or the Paradise Protectors by name? Defiance is expecting us? 12 Nov 2015 at 22:59
Volodja Uljanov: Fontaine greeted Defiance with couple of shots from his artillery so everyone who has common sense left are hiding from bombardment and Fontaine's goons. And nobody didn't asked us to be there for help. 12 Nov 2015 at 22:59 *
Archer, Frankie J.: ok go on 12 Nov 2015 at 23:00
Volodja Uljanov: It was our team's decision to stay and help people by defeating Fontaine. Especially when we have Mayor Rosewater on our side. 12 Nov 2015 at 23:00 *
Archer, Frankie J.: so it goes "hello sir. we're the Paradise Protectors. Major Rosewater sent for us to save Defiance. we're here to help. stay calm, stay inside." 12 Nov 2015 at 23:01 *
Archer, Frankie J.: ...basically 12 Nov 2015 at 23:02
Volodja Uljanov: You can try that indeed because it depends on us - writers - how locals react, as long as it realistic. 12 Nov 2015 at 23:03
Archer, Frankie J.: and not "hello we're the Paradise Protectors group of mercs no better than the Fontaine." 12 Nov 2015 at 23:03
Archer, Frankie J.: I'm just gaining the general climate for my understanding 12 Nov 2015 at 23:04 *
Volodja Uljanov: We are better than Fontaine, because we try to save the town. Basically a story of Magnificent Seven - bunch of warriors decide to defend the town against bandits. 12 Nov 2015 at 23:07
Volodja Uljanov: So I assume that locals are friendly to our guys if they dare to leave their shelters. At moment we have few citizens out - The Mayor, members of the Tarr family, Tic Tac and NeedWant personnel. 12 Nov 2015 at 23:07 *
Archer, Frankie J.: does the NeedWant have an independent stereo? 12 Nov 2015 at 23:10
Volodja Uljanov: But you can feel free to create some local folk NPC-s and interact with them if you like and you can always let other team members talk with them as well
12 Nov 2015 at 23:10
Volodja Uljanov: I believe that they should have a decent musical equipment to entertain their customers 12 Nov 2015 at 23:11
Archer, Frankie J.: beyond a radio 12 Nov 2015 at 23:18
Archer, Frankie J.: i thought everyone just turned on the radio to Alak's station? 12 Nov 2015 at 23:18
Archer, Frankie J.: i thought he was the only one with the musical selection to provide variable tracks 12 Nov 2015 at 23:19
Archer, Frankie J.: but if the NeedWant does have an independent system... 12 Nov 2015 at 23:20
Belle Starr: Archer, u might want to read this story from the beginning to get the context - that's what I do if I'm confused! Basics, Belle filed missing person report on Chase with police agencies, Defiance Folk found him, said we could pick him up, Fontaine and his 12 Nov 2015 at 23:47 *
Belle Starr: EGO laden employees besiege the town with artillery, demanding Chase be given to him; we are there to pick Chase up and say no way, so are trying to defend Defiance without sacrificing Chase, with the City authorities with us!
12 Nov 2015 at 23:50 *
Belle Starr: I like using stuff from the show (character and locations, like Berlin and the Beast's tunnel) as well as the game (EGO device), but make-up a lot about my characters as we go as long as it's plausible (SF-wise) like splicing Belle's genes with a Volge!
12 Nov 2015 at 23:55
Archer, Frankie J.: got it now, thanks so much 12 Nov 2015 at 23:55
Belle Starr: NP & YVW! One thing we do try to do is be consistent with what others post in the story before us, NEVER use another's character without asking them if it might be out of character for them, & never permanently kill/maim a PC, unless asking beforehand!
yesterday at 00:00
Volodja Uljanov: Volo is an ordinary human being, except his phenomenal memory and mind. yesterday at 00:00 *
Belle Starr: Except Volo does have an EGO implant!
yesterday at 00:00
Volodja Uljanov: Yup. We must stick to the character and get their essence if we want to use them. yesterday at 00:01
Volodja Uljanov: An EGO implant is not rare these days, although Volo has uncommonly creative ways of using it
yesterday at 00:01 *
Belle Starr: Since most of us play the game, & our characters are from there, we have EGO powers, but what we have done otherwise is from our imaginations! Plus EGO psyches make great foils for character discussion in a post! As well as being great drama themselves!
yesterday at 00:03 *
Volodja Uljanov: Yup. We have EGO psyches with personalities, preferences and ethics. yesterday at 00:04 *
Volodja Uljanov: I will make Marcel's post in morning. Hopefully you are not mind
Too sleepy to be creative tonight
Don't hesitate to use Volo when needed. yesterday at 00:14 *
Chase Lonehart: Unfortunately, I've been delayed in getting my next post up . A lost dog just turned up in my yard earlier and I'm waiting to take her to the vet tomorrow to see if she has an ID Chip . She's been keeping me busy, hope to get her back to her family. yesterday at 05:29
Chase Lonehart: Will get my next post up tomorrow. Sorry about this. yesterday at 05:30
Chris Robet: Yo guys, what's up? yesterday at 08:57
Atticus Batman: Yes our EGOs have ethics although one is corrupt and succeeding in corrupting his host at the moment.
The only male EGO in the current group and he is the one trying to destroy people's ethics and morality. Go figure. yesterday at 10:37 *
Volodja Uljanov: We have also Psycho Pete who is on board of Vigilant because Chris wanted to travel along
yesterday at 11:03 *
Atticus Batman: I suppose we do, if Chris is onboard. Guess I forgot about it since he never made a post and I think this story is working towards a conclusion without him ever joining in. yesterday at 11:19 *
Atticus Batman: Damn! Lost my post! Time to try to redo it from what I could salvage!
yesterday at 12:42
Atticus Batman: Volo I am not sure if Marcel is with Vo and his other two teammates or not, but I am done with my post for the most part. yesterday at 13:33
Volodja Uljanov: Little Volo post before I decide what to do with Marcel. yesterday at 13:51
Chase Lonehart: Got the doggie home. It belongs to one of my neighbors who was out last night. They were in this morning, and confirmed it was theirs. I'm glad to get the dog home to her family. Will work in my next post and post it later.
yesterday at 15:31
Volodja Uljanov: RL and lost puppies are always more important than posts
yesterday at 15:39
Belle Starr: OK, not finished but was afraid that I would lose the post like Atticus! I see Volo got a post in before I saved! Hi Volo! Are you finished or should I wait to finish my post? Need more COFFEE so AFK!
yesterday at 16:57 *
Volodja Uljanov: I am done for a moment, Belle dear. Few short scenes. yesterday at 17:10 *
Belle Starr: OK, finished Belle's post, although I still need to proof, then I'll do a short Lena post, and then back to Belle in Fallout 4! I am so enjoying playing her in that game!
yesterday at 18:24
Belle Starr: If u r curious as to why I'm waiting on Belle's action, I want to leave VO a chance to say/act before the confrontation scene between her and Barringer! Atticus has been heard, and I want to see what Vo will do before I decide what she will do!
yesterday at 18:26
Volodja Uljanov: Got it. My guys stay in background then because I don't want to mess things up
FO 4 is classical single player RPG series, so I approve. Maybe one day I'll get a copy. Until that I have FO 3 and New Vegas to play through yesterday at 18:29 *
Volodja Uljanov: And couple of indie survival games I want to try yesterday at 18:30 *
Belle Starr: U don't have to if u don't want to! U can bring then to the scene to if u want, just give Belle a chance to fight Barringer is all I ask! If Marcel, or Atticus , or even Vo wants to do the coup d'grace, that's OK with me!
yesterday at 18:36
Belle Starr: BTW, Belle's hunting scene is based on mine at age 14; although I didn't throw up, I never went hunting again! I don't object to it, but it's not for me! I feel too bad afterwards! Guess that's why I hate PVP!
yesterday at 18:37 *
Belle Starr: I LOVE Fallout New Vegas - and actually where I first played Belle Starr! I patterned my Defiance character off of her! Fallout 3 was okay, but I didn't enjoy it near as much, but that as possibly because my gaming computer then was sub-par!
yesterday at 18:50
Volodja Uljanov: Well - I have to admit that I love player mods most
Bethesda uses their ideas on their next titles usually
To be honest - hunting isn't my sport. Mind games are, or art exhibitions, or something like that. yesterday at 18:55 *
Volodja Uljanov: And hiking is my sport as well if we speak about physical one - at least I don't have to shoot someone or something with nothing else than y camera. yesterday at 18:59
Volodja Uljanov: At moment my first RPG is Skyrim -I like the atmosphere of the Elder Scrolls too. Actually the main reason why I haven't deleted it is that load of mods I haven't tried yet
yesterday at 19:00 *
Volodja Uljanov: Maybe Marcel moves, but Volo stays where he is. He is after Fontaine anyway
yesterday at 19:01 *
Lena Marr: I like my short Lena post, although the video clip is for Atticus! LOL!
yesterday at 19:10
Lena Marr: I've run about 5 characters through Skyrim, and kept finding things I hadn't found before! That and the player mods kept it always fresh! Gotta love that game!
yesterday at 19:12
Volodja Uljanov: I am a damn gamer. Especially when it's about RPG-s or RTS (I am a huge fan of Total War series). yesterday at 19:19 *
Lena Marr: I'm not a huge gamer: Civilization, Colonization, Skyrim, Fallout, DC Universe, then Defiance - my total Video Game life (if u don't count Asteroid, Missile Strike and Tank way back when)! LOL!
yesterday at 19:25
Lena Marr: OPPS! I forgot Animal Crossing, that I used to play with my kids when they were little!
yesterday at 19:26
Taffer: Got Taffer's post done, now to Vo's… 21 hours ago
Vo Kshaa: Hmm, and now I have to get in sync with two posts and Atticus's one states Vo was in the vehicle and Marcel's states he wasn't. Please don't change anything, I have an idea… 21 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Vo was in tank, Marcel took a pick up he used earlier because he missed the tank. 21 hours ago *
Vo Kshaa: Atticus was traveling in the tank alone, his post implies he saw Vo in the vehicle that approached him. No problem with that, I have a workaround
21 hours ago
Atticus Batman: Hmm did my post screw something up or did Volo's? Lol I swear if I read shout first I get confused, but if I read the story first I get confused. So I am stuck in a catch-22!
12 hours ago
Atticus Batman: definitely wasn't my screwup this time. LOL 11 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Alright. So as a way to keep the story going without edits, Vo dismissed the tank drivers as Marcel left without them. So it is still Atticus in tank and Marcel and Vo ahead in truck correct? 11 hours ago
Belle Starr: Sorry, my clan called me for a Defiance social event, but I'm back to proof and won't change my post substantively!
11 hours ago
Atticus Batman: No prob. I haven't started one yet. Still trying to clear my confusion caused by Volo's mispost. LOL 11 hours ago
Atticus Batman: Also loved the Harley clip. As I did refer to Lena as being Atticus's Harley Quinn once.
11 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Hmm I have a post typed and ready to post but looks like you already posted a partial Marcel post. SO I guess I will wait for you to finish before I post, just in case my post no longer works, but mine would add minor action before we meet up with Belle. 10 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Would also give Marcel a chance to aim at Barringer on the cliff, if he can see her, without us noticing until too late what he was shooting during the minor battle.
10 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Done with the post. 9 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Hopefully Belle isn't mind that Marcel played accidental hero this time, because Marc himself hated to do it. 9 hours ago
Atticus Batman: Um Volo. Barringer has no good hand. Belle crushed both of her arms.
9 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Thanks. Fixed that one
9 hours ago
Atticus Batman: No prob. 9 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: I just wanted Marcel to do a relatively good deed which he considers to be awkward. 9 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Reading Marcel's post, I can edit mine so Marcel disappears during the skirmish, then post it. Which would explain how he got to Barringer without Vo our Atticus to stop him or beat him to the kill.
9 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Atty had his fair share of killing named NPC-s anyway. Marcel has only one dismemberment on his account so far. He cut off Micor's signet hand so for his rep he needs some kill count as well
9 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Doesn't bother me either way. I am just glad I can use the post I already typed but hadn't submitted yet, with a minor edit.
9 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Tried not to mess things up for others. Belle wanted her encounter with Barringer and she wasn't mind that one of us kills Barringer off after that. I just hope that Belle likes the way, Marcel did it. 9 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Alright done. How's that work? If I need to edit so it doesn't interfere with Marcel in some way I will. I don't want to mess with your fun either.
9 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Nice! 9 hours ago
Atticus Batman: Added a sentence to Atticus' words to Marcel, just came to me, but can remove that bit about Zoxx in Lima if you liked it better before.
I don't care either way. 9 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: And isn't Marcel the one who killed the Kingpin in Lima or did Taffer beat him to that? 9 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Taffer beat him there. But I am not mind that Marcel is remembered that he usually is late
9 hours ago *
Belle Starr: OK, question: With both your arms broken, can u hold a knife? IDK, but I don't think so!
9 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: As I told - anger, hatred and adrenaline are great painkillers, but I can make it more realistic. It gave me a chance to add a Rosa Klebb video
And there is nothing undignifying about Belle, I hope. 9 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: But I can do more edits if needed. 8 hours ago
Atticus Batman: Hold a knife? Volo added more to his post after I did mine?! So does mine need an edit now? Hmmm just re-read and I guess not. LOL 8 hours ago *
Belle Starr: Belle is mad, but who's going to stop her now! Bwa- ha HA!
8 hours ago
Atticus Batman: However I guess I do have to edit my post and remove where Vo and I arrived and talked to them, for Belle's post to make sense.
8 hours ago *
Belle Starr: Nope, u posted first so I'll edit mine!
8 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: Guess I ll have to remove all the hidden blade thing then. 8 hours ago
Atticus Batman: I am fine either way Belle. So if you prefer that I not have Vo and Atticus arrive then I am ok with it. 8 hours ago
Belle Starr: I fixed it, and it makes sense! Very dramatic and traumatic for Belle! So don't y'all dare change a thing! And she is headed for Defiance!
8 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: I wasn't planning on it unless you wanted me to.
8 hours ago
Belle Starr: No, your's were honest posts and Belle did an honest response! It's going to be interesting where it goes from here, for I haven't a clue!
8 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: I think that Marcel found a logical excuse for himself and his decision. He just saved the court lot of resources. Being cynical means usually to be realistic. 8 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: I assume that Barringer is out from the game now. 8 hours ago
Atticus Batman: Not sure. Did Marcel kill her or is she still bleeding out? 7 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: She is deadly wounded anyway 7 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Lost track as I stepped away to make home-made trail mix. 7 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: I think that she is bled to death by now but she told at least something valuable to Marcel as a return of granting her better death. At least that's Marcel's opinion. 7 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Ok. Well I guess I will do an Atticus post to at least get him and Vo after Belle. Provided you are done with the post. I assume Marcel will want to be left to do his own thing? 7 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Guess so, because Marcel's limit of good deeds for today is over
Once again he learned that being good doesn't pay off. 7 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Alright done with my post, but will edit if needed.
And you can blame Belle for me wanting to make use of Village People's Macho Man!
6 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: I added something to Marcel's lines though.
6 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Sheesh I clearly asked if you were done before I started my post! Oh well I will fix it in my post as it is a small thing, and only requires the one tiny edit. LOL
6 hours ago *
Atticus Batman: Fixed.
6 hours ago
Volodja Uljanov: I actually added that line long before you were posting
6 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Hello Belle. 2 hours ago
Belle Starr: Hi Volo! Just working on some Bellerama! I think it's a moving post, but have to tweak it a bit! Belle's answer to the title of the story - nothing remains!
2 hours ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Atty or Vo will help her for sure. My guys are sort of out from the main stage
2 hours ago *
Belle Starr: All of us are really, as this is Chase's story, but at least Volodja, Taffer and Archer are on the stage with him! I've actually incapacitated both my gals, so anything I write for the rest of the story will be purely reactive, I think!
about an hour ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Volo plays the waiter on the restaurant scene this time - he is useful but whatever he does, goes by unnoticed
But I had my fun letting him ruin Fontaine's plans and interact with Tarr family. about an hour ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Plus I found a chance to use some videos
And some hidden or public references to culötural texts, including Kafka's "Metamorphosis" in Marcel's post. about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: IDK how u can say Volodja goes unnoticed, as everybody keeps noticing him, whether it be Stahma Tarr, Atticus Batman, or Marcel Lestrange! LOL!
about an hour ago
Volodja Uljanov: Taffer spotted Volo too...barely
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: SO? Still getting noticed for what he's doing! Your problem is that u developed this character as one who operates from the shadows and behind the scenes, but U really wanted to be the hero in the daylight! Can't have both!
about an hour ago
Volodja Uljanov: Actually I can - Every Holmes has his Watson who takes care of his publicity.
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: Now with Belle, she is the 300 pound Gorilla in the room that U cannot ignore! The rest of my characters are mostly supporting characters!
about an hour ago
Belle Starr: U can't expect another PC to be your Watson - u have to create your own, which u did with Wolfram and even Marcel kinda!
about an hour ago
Volodja Uljanov: Yup. Modest Scherlock didn't protested when Watson wrote about him - it brought him customers
Everybody knew who was the man behind scenes but somehow they mised it when Holmes was on the case
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: Every PC is busy with telling their own story, and it's beautiful when the stories intersect, but u can't expect another's PC to just sing your PC's praises all the time! What fun is there in that!?!?!
about an hour ago *
Volodja Uljanov: I will take care of Volo's publicity by myself. No need for praising him, but even villains keep ignoring him.
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: Which is what u got to do, and it takes time! I took Belle two years RL time to become a public person in this story world, and I started her down that path from the beginning!
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: Okay, I got nothing more to write! I could write the Sandy piece, but I think that is pretty much a done deal! Lady can only wait, and Erika's story is for another time - so that's it for me! Besides, Belle is pursuing another story in Fallout 4! LOL!
about an hour ago
Volodja Uljanov: Go ahead. BTW - Belle praised Vo in her stories and description. Only other guys are Kaj and Marcel to receive that honour in Lena's backstory
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: See there's the thing! Barringer didn't ignore Belle because I wrote her that way! Same thing with Lady and the Mistress of Judgment! If you want the villain to center his concentration on your character, write it - or better yet, create your own!
about an hour ago
Volodja Uljanov: I think I have done it already. Mr. Blowfield is sitting on the background. Chase created damn charming bastard so I totally left my villains into limbo
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: Final thing! Vo and Belle are a classic love story, so it's natural for them to praise each other! Sandy has praised Volo in past stories, as does Lady Atticus, but their's are less of a fairy tale romance and more like RL with ups and downs!
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: U should facilitate the next story with Blowfield! That will put Volodja on center stage like u want! Seriously!
about an hour ago
Volodja Uljanov: I will consider that. After all - he is working with the team almost a year now and made a lot progress, but he is still the one who gets mentioned in Oscar gala with mom and personal astrologist in the speech
about an hour ago *
Belle Starr: I'm really not ready to proceed with Erika's story, nor is the Mistress ready to raise her evil head again (unless one of u do it), so I'm willing to stick to subplots for now! LOL!
about an hour ago
Belle Starr: I have noticed a pattern to my subplots if I'm not facilitating the main story - I am very influenced by the title you select for the story - so beware! LOL! Bye for now!
about an hour ago *
Volodja Uljanov: Take care dear. about an hour ago
