OOC2: More Things You Can't Say in Game

[Juramenta]

I checked the map, think we planned for him to sit in the middle, but to the left works as well. I can sit next to Bone Biter.
Pacman is in the wrong position though. I see him all the way to the top right instead of with Ace. Only 3 people surrounding him now, that's pretty dangerous if he only takes a -2 penalty.
With Pacman back in the right position, it will be -3 again. If Headstone now joins, he will be at -4. That should definitely be enough.

Potting him by the window actually makes it harder for him to do anything. An aisle seat would give me a lot more mobility. Tay posted the map quite a while back, and no one asked to change anything. You can move him now if you want, but do it in character. We have only put people where they said they go. Again, if you want to move them, they will have to move in character.

I've been up most of the night with a very dodgy stomach. (both ends)

I blame Chary, she must have passed it on through the forums

Even water isn't good. Settle a bit now, so time to try and get more sleep.

[Charybdis Richelle]

I'm so sorry to hear that.

BRAT = bananas, rice, applesauce, toast... Though this time around, applesauce was about the only thing for the first two days... Then bananas...

[shaidar]

Thanks.

I'll bear that in mind. I'm now keeping water down, which is something.

I've always been a fan of a 'rich tea' biscuit (look it up) or plain cracker.

[Charybdis Richelle]

Yeah, plain saltine crackers are usually good for me, too, at about the same time I can manage toast.

If you are keeping fluids down, you might try something like Gatorade. Something to help replace the electrolytes you lost. I personally think Gatorade, at other sports drinks, taste better than Pedialyte and other official electrolyte drinks. It's a texture thing, I think. Pedialyte feels too... thick? Not quite oily, but too heavy somehow.

[shaidar]

Yeah, I did think about some kind of electrolyte replacement.

Is Skye still asleep? It's been a few hours.

[Gremlin]

Until someone wakes her up.

[Charybdis Richelle]

Sorry about the novel-length post, chummers. I tried to think of a good place to break that up, but I really couldn't. So, I decided to wait until the first time Basil and Ace would really stop to listen to anything the team has to say.

For those of you with an interest in character development, you can learn a good deal about Basil and Ace in there, so have fun.

Fun post. I enjoyed it.

[Charybdis Richelle]

@archolewa Looks like we cross-posted there, but this still works.

[shaidar]

Is the map of where people are sitting up to date?

[Juramenta]

I think Tay updated it not that long ago. So it should be correct.

Well, Revs is back in the cabin.

I think BB moved to the seat on the other side to try to stretch out again.

Headstone moved back to be within arm's reach of Ace. I don't remember whether he decided to sit to the left of Tears (directly in front of Ace) or to the right of Bone Biter (kitty corner behind Ace). I think he chose in front, but I just woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back to sleep. I am not coherent enough to search to see which.

[Juramenta]

Your right, I thought he already moved me next to Bone Biter.

[shaidar]

So, is the seat next to Tears free?

[Juramenta]

Pacman should have been sitting there, but he is distracted again.
So Headstone is covering for him to make sure there are at least 4 surrounding Ace.
So the seat is empty if you wanted to go sit there. Five gives the max penalty to Ace, so that is preferred.

[Charybdis Richelle]

If Headstone is next to Bone Biter, then, yes, the seat next to Tears is empty.

Pacman had posted that he was in the front row and wanted to be out of reach of Ace.

And now I am going to try to fall back to sleep.

[Juramenta]

Gnight!
