There is an 'i' in win.

/me narrows his eyes as he takes a look around

Odd, could've sworn someone mentioned me...

Don't worry, Jaz. We're not really as crazy as we seem.

-Drac

DR, you've earned yourself some quality booze. Someone else, go buy the man some rounds...

Know what? Dawn will be the one buying you precisely 10 rounds of whatever you feel like, simply because he thought he could seal our IQ (Insanity Quotient) with such a tiny, randomly picked number.

/me peeks out from around the side of one of the vats and waves.

Crazy is fine, it's the ones that claim to be sane that you have to watch out for.

/me lays back down.

We all valienty, and possibly very drunkly, plunder the Atrus's bar?

Just a suggestion.

There have been quite a few changes lately (new additions to the squadron as well as roster changes) and in a few days time there may also be rank and position changes as well. In light of that I propose a multi-sequence story.

The first part should be a debriefing of sorts - mentioning things that happened during the OotI, various acts of bravery and/or reckless stupidity, casualties, new transfers (IC) as well as a need for further changes as far as the squadron is concerned: as in further leadership changes. This is meant to smooth things over from the current OOC state to IC as well. Hopefully that should decrease confusion and should enhance realism and roleplaying. If it's fine with Wager I could coordinate this stage - be the fellow that introduces him IC as your new CO as well as either introducing or maybe simply approving of the new XO and FL(s).

Overall this stage shouldn't take very long as it's meant mostly to provide the members with a chance to explore their own feelings and beliefs regarding the previous battle as well as a chance to better fit in their new roles - be them roles of new acquired leadership or not. The very fact that you'd undergo further leadership changes so soon after the previous ones could also be something interesting to write about - just a thought.

I personally suggest the second stage be a more informal gathering of sorts - a cantina maybe? - in which the members could be provided with a chance to simply interact. It's a chance for the new leaders to show how they intend to lead - be friendly and understanding or maybe uptight and by the book sort of fellow... as well as a shot for the regular members to start liking or suddenly disliking the latter. Nothing like the beginning (or maybe continuation) of some friendships and/or rivalries to add some spice in the future squadron stories.

This stage should take as much as the members themselves feel necessary to achieve their personal agendas or as much as the leaders believe is enough for the story not to become boring and no longer interesting (hopefully the former). Afterward I'd once more personally suggest some larger scale teambuilding exercises - running sims, maybe flying out on a routine patrol, returning to the briefing room for the details of a new mission about to start soon after (ideal if a new story concept is brought up and agreed upon by the other members). The possibilities at this point are fairly varied so there's no reason to go through all of them...

Like usual, ideas and comments - oh, and don't forget booze of course - are welcome.

Works for me. I'm assuming several IC reprimands are in order for the debriefing?

We haven't done a barfight in a long while. It would be a good location for a bit of CD I have planned, and some IC interaction wouldn't hurt.

Ooooo... a bar fight. This'll be fun.

LAST barfight we got involved in was only me, the former XO and Ryn. The rest of our squadron saw fit to let us kick their behinds.

The XO was in confinement for three days after that ^_^

OOC:

EDIT:

/me squints.

Could it be? DeepSix opened parentheses without closing them.. a punctuation mistake.. surely not

/me assumes 'mother of god' pose

Well, even being on the same SHIP as Deep...

He.. you know..

Smells.

/me shudders

/me waves hand around

These are not the parenthesis you're looking for...

/me holds out a blaster with free hand

...got it?

Also Hades, I now have my eyes on you and promise you to enact retribution. Fierce, savage and generally unspeakable retribution... as soon as I think of something appropriate enough to retake that "mother of god" pose. Rather like that pose...

Oops, the Atrus should have dozens of bars, food joints, entertainment centers as well as lodgings for even civilians (families of the crew). We must make it our mission to explore all those locations - obviously starting with the bars, as they're the ones most vital to the crew's performance.

Note to self: make Hades cry... again.

Oh goodie, roster updates!

/me sighs

How is it that I always finally update my ID line the day before the roster changes?

I remember that tingling feeling. That and I never updated my ID line

I'll go update it after I get reassigned.

I didn't see where I was at last time I was checking the roster.

Since I'll (likely) be A-3, hola Tuk'ata. Anyone else in the squadron been to prison? (ICly, I mean)
