// Scoreboard: I did 2 replies and sent 17 sentence starters to people who ‘liked’ my ‘returning to RP’ post.

If I sent you one and you don’t feel like answering it, don’t like it, or don’t know what to do with it, you’re free & clear to delete it, I don’t mind!

Reblog if you’re open to improvisational rp and just “winging it” with threads

Whether it’s the first interactions between the muses so the chemistry is still up in the air and it’s still unknown as to whether or not they’ll click before potential plotting, or the muses have too much minds of their own and run wild the moment you set them loose in a thread, plotting is hard and occasionally your pre-planned threads jump the track and go in totally different directions than anticipated thanks to the muses’ creative differences. Reblog this to let your rp partners know that you don’t mind simply jumping straight into in-character interactions and threads.

The afternoon was supposed a pleasant one, loved ones gathering in the graveyards to honor the fallen. Families went to their plots, cleaning off the stones of those departed and decorating them in honor. Children ran around happily, eating candy. Mothers and Fathers laid out picnics for those still alive and offerings of favorite dishes for those who had moved on. 

Catrina sat at the edge of the cemetery, her own plot already attended to for the day. Omnics had been sighted the night before, putting the city of Dorado on edge. They were in the middle of a Crisis, but tradition trumps danger. 

The sawed off shotgun that had rested easy at her side before, now snapped to attention into a young man’s face. A stranger among friends, an unknown face in uncertain times entering their sacred land. Her voice was muffled by a mask, painted eyes unblinking, but he could still hear her as she spoke.

“Who are you?”

[glorypast]

“Me?” Morrison grunted. Despite the nonchalant question, his eyes zeroed in on the shotgun, brows drawn together. He wasn’t afraid of firearms, but he respected them. Civilians with firearms were nothing to shrug off. “I’m nobody. Just a soldier.”

It said a lot that the stranger hadn’t fired, or even threatened, so he inched closer and nodded at the cemetery lawn. The mask yielded nothing, the voice was buffered likewise and that gave him no cues to read. Morrison tried anyway. 

“You here for someone?” Hmm. That sounded insensitive, so the soldier took another shot at it. “Sorry if I’m intruding.” He nodded at the shotgun. “We had some reports of omnic activity in the area. Have you seen anything?”

“Next?” he repeats, eyes purposely not on her but watching her all the same. In the periphery of his vision, the soldier notes her arms moving but takes no action. Somehow, he’s worth more to her alive than dead…for now, anyway.

“I guess if I’m testing dangerous limits and I’m relentless, next is getting injured or killed.” Beneath the clothes and mask, his body is a tangled nest of scars. It’s safe to say being injured or killed is nothing new. “But before we start that party, I’ve gotta ask why you’re here.”

The soldier is here to take a name of his own little list, but he has a sneaking suspicion that maybe Widowmaker is here for the same thing. This guy is a high-profile UN delegate – he can afford the best security. Can’t send just any run-of-the-mill thug to take him out, this needs the hand of a professional.

“Oh, you know. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, non?”

She seems nonchalant about it enough, without intent to harm the other, though the opportunity should not be completely discounted all together. Widowmaker would put him down - or at least try- if he was to interfere with her mission tonight.

“We seem to share more than just a common interest tonight, monsieur. How exactly were you going to get your mark, hmm? Walk in there guns blazing? Clearly this was not going to work out for you.”

Widowmaker activates her visor, scouts the building while mentally taking note of everyone there. 

“You are so fucked. Do you even have any intel on what shitstorm you were about to walk into ?”

[glorypast]

He stares at her a moment, eyes hidden behind the red strip of tactical visor. Morrison is silent longer than he intends, then realizes this is Widowmaker. his stony reticence won’t affect her. She couldn’t care less what he does -- ignore her or ask her to dance.

“I’ve lived this long and I don’t have any cybernetic parts,” he finally says. “You tell me if I’m going in guns blazing or doing my homework first.” His reply isn’t quite ‘how stupid do you think I am?’ (although he really wants to say it), but it suggests the same thing.

“All I want to know is who’s your mark tonight. If it’s the guy I’m after, I’ll ask you to wait a little longer. I have some questions I need to ask him,” one of the soldier’s big hands closes into a fist, “but after that, he’s all yours. Deal?”

The unfortunate part is that she won’t care, Jack thinks. Hell, she might kill the guy faster just because Morrison is asking her to wait. Or she might demand some kind of payment or trade for sparing the man a little longer than necessary. If they’re after the same person, that is.

// Going to try sending out some of those sentence starters now. They’ll be inboxed to you, so you can deal with them as a one-shot reply, or we can try to thread. 

Better late than pregnant never, right?

valkyrietilvalhalla replied to your post “// Work really wants me to never write Jack again and I don’t know...”

It's okay, dude! Take your time. Real world comes first. <3

// How are you so good, my bestie? Thank you. ♥♥♥

[glorypast]

// Work really wants me to never write Jack again and I don’t know why.

The task load is barely manageable right now with hyperfocus and overtime, so I won’t be able to RP just yet. Sorry, I jumped the gun. ♥

Will continue trying to return, as soon as it’s feasible. I’m dyin’ to write this guy more. You’d think I’d give up after three years, but I’m too optimistically foolish for that!  xD

[glorypast]

// Perhaps unsurprisingly, I’ve had nothing but meetings that take up all my time, so I have to scramble to work after. I’d REALLY like to get back to RPing here, but I don’t know how or when, guys. 

Will try to come back in the afternoon, sorry!

// NOTE: I’m trying to re-establish the blog, but fair warning: I will go slowly, keep activity light, and restrict my dash time so I don’t jeopardize my job.

I’m trying to balance this with work, but can only post during work hours. That means there may be a couple of days at a time where I’m not on the blog at all.

[glorypast]

Rules

Don’t be an asshole. Respect my opinion and go argue somewhere else. I’ve played Jack as demisexual for just over three years now. I will NOT be changing that. 

I’m not your father. Don’t expect me to moderate my content for you. I’ll do my best to tag the biggies, but I’m forgetful.

For shipping, I am exclusive to certain partners. So if you’re a canon blog looking to ship, you may want to ask first. I write non-shippy stuff a lot, so it may not matter.

Said partners are not exclusive with my Soldier/Morrison.

OCs are very welcome. I love OCs, and since you’re all one-of-a-kind, there’s no worry of duplicates! Again, I prefer my partners not to write with a bunch of other Soldier blogs.

I love my A/Us. You may unexpectedly get Venom 76, Immortal 76, or other A/U Jacks.

I’m really, REALLY slow. Please, please, please, do not push or prod me for threads or replies. It makes me a nervous wreck and I’ve got enough irl nerves.

Please try not to take it personally if I decline to write with you. I love writing with everyone, actually, but my job and home life demand a ton of my time.

Technically, I’m multiship and open to polyships, but not gonna lie: I tend to be shy and timid around shipping, so it can be a slow burn. Really slow. 

I prefer pre-established relationships and if given the chance, I will default to our characters already knowing each other, even if your character is an OC.
