GOOD MORNING OMNINET!!!

>> Hello!!! It's been a long time since I've been planetside, but I figured I might as well have some fun while I'm on a core world and have access to the omninet!

>> Your friendly local mechanic specializing in legacy technology and near light freighters! I typically work on long-haul ships intended to be out in deep space for a WHILE but I work on anything I can get my hands on. I've even been branching out into prosthetics recently, I made a prosthetic eye for myself!!

>> My name is Vissily, callsign GAMBIT, and I pilot a technicolor goblin called BUGHOUSE BRAWL. It runs on some legacy OS that I dug out of some deep dark corner of a HORUS forum, I think it's called "Hannah Montana Linux."

>> Feel free to come to me for all of your old-ass technology needs, or just to say hi!

[dumbass-transboy]

Just wanted to make a quick announcement related to my lack of activity on my lancer tumblr rp blogs lately!! It feels bad to just go radio silent with no word, but I've been trying to get back into the swing of things.

Long story short, this author is transmasc, many of my characters are transmasc, and the recent discourse surrounding transmascs has sort of turned me off Tumblr as a website entirely. I stayed largely uninvolved, don't worry, but this did not save me from personal attacks and harassment. Similarly, lancer tumblr has not been free of microaggressions towards myself and my characters, both racist and transphobic. I don't blame any particular person for this, I've found that it's a common experience in any fandom space, but it's wildly discouraging to me.

In short, I'm exhausted.

I'm going to try to get back to my blogs, as I genuinely do enjoy writing for them, but I wouldn't hold my breath on them regaining as much activity as they used to see. My motivation has been largely killed by this whole debacle, and I can't promise I'll ever regain it.

[A video recording taken from a handheld dataslate. It's a bit dark, and very cramped. It looks a bit like a maintenance shaft you would find in a ship. Every sheet metal surface is covered wall-to-wall in glow-in-the-dark doodles of every neon color Vissily could get his hands on. Piled up in the middle is a pile of blankets, pillows, various knickknacks, and boxes. From the way the knickknacks seem to float, it appears that there is no gravity.]

>>Well, uh, workshop's a little different!!! I got my old room back, though :3 It's not technically my room, I had proper quarters, but I haven't slept in there since I was, like, twenty.

[Vissily drops down through a small hatch, panning the camera across a much larger area. It's a starship, likely a small freightliner. It looks lived-in, trinkets and signs of life scattered everywhere. A pile of papers here, an empty food tray there, doors left ajar and messages scribbled on sticky notes. It seems as though this is the mess hall, though it is still very small. There are spaces set for four people.]

>>A little less good for sleepovers, but it's still nice!!!! I think Gray will like it :3

[isyourmechrunning]

[A package arrives thru quarantine! Inside are a couple bio-grade stasis containers, one of which is packed with gukhwa-ppang and the other containing a spray of purple jindallae kkot. There’s also a small canister of tea, some sundry bits of this and that, and: a yellow-green marker. It looks like it’s been used to write a card in quick, precise script:]

Guess who’s learning to write with fine magnetic control!! Found this attached to one of my arms post-activation, figured you might want it. Sorry if the rest is too much, everyone wanted to put something in the care package before we left left terra firma.

Hope you’re taking care, Viss. You’ve got a lot of folks out here who owe a lot to you <3

—Nofie

>>OHHHH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!! Oh I'm so so so sorry I haven't been in the workshop I haven't seen this!!!!!!!! This is so so so sweet Nofie I'm really happy with this :3

>>It's been. Rough. This helps though :3

[A selfie of Vissily holding the package with a big grin on her face. The workshop looks... notably different. Tight corridors and harsh white lighting and metal walls. It looks like the inside of a starship of some kind.]

[isyourmechrunning]

+ Hey, Friend! Vissily. How are you, how have you been? It has been terribly long, and for this, I am sorry. You have not been neglected; My silence was merely a byproduct of how busy I have been, and how much has happened since we last spoke.

+ I was wondering, would you like to catch up in person? Perhaps another sleepover? I have a remarkable amount of shore leave saved up (though I don't believe that we refer to it as shore leave, especially not in a noncombatant role such as ours), and would like to spend it with someone worthwhile.

+ It is to my understanding, however, that you're not currently within the workshop, and that our unorthodox means of transportation is not currently available. If you mended this- I could be over right away.

+ I would hate to waste another minute in my own company.

+ As always! @whohasfourthumbsand // "Gray".

>>OH!!!!! Uh, well, GR, it's very good to hear from you :3

>>I've been keeping up with your account!!!! I haven't had much to do, they've been doing lots of tests and changing up my containment cell unit and stuff like that :3 I haven't really... been in the workshop since last time. I think it's changed around a bit.

>>It seems like you guys have been kinda going through it, though, so I could get the doors unlocked!!!!! It's been WAY too long since I've seen someone who isn't a scientist poking at me, a sleepover would be so so so nice. Plus, I think Gray might need a bit of a rest.

>>Gonna get everything up and running, show up whenever you'd like :3

[leastinsanesscpilot]

OOC: things are happening...........

[isyourmechrunning]

OOC: kinda also want to get into Lancer RP posting, but I'm not sure how. you're really good at this so 8 want to ask two questions:

how do you keep track of all the interlocking story arcs going on at once? do some of you know each other IRL or what?

is it cringe to bring in a homebrew license? because I came up with a weird striker/support I call the HORUS Unicorn and kinda want to bring it in, but that might be *too* weird.

OOC:

I keep track of storylines by having the characters rotating in my brain constantly.

On a more serious note many of the people in the community have become really good online friends of mine and we talk on discord quite a lot and plan some of our stuff there. But those I don't know on discord I speak to over Tumblr dms. Speaking OOC about intent in a storyline can really help things flow! If you're scared to dm someone just send an ask first but I've found that the vast majority of people here are chill. My DMs are always open as long as people are nicies to me! Lol

On the topic of homebrew, pretty much everyone i know is ok with it. As long as you're open to friendly balancing critique if you try to actively use it mechanically most people will be down to roll with it.

My friend @corsair-news-alliance has an absolute PEAK homebrew LCP, as do a couple of my other friends in the community. I am very big on encouraging that type of creativity!!!

But yeah all in all just hop in!! We don't bite!!! I have a couple of relatively big? blogs in SINGED and Rosie so I can answer questions and stuff but like. I got my start by just jumping in and shitposting with Rosie!! It's very fun!!!

Also DJJDJDJDJFIF thank you for the compliment I try djfkfkfjf

[corsair-mercenary-companies]

OOC: *violent coughing* *clearing throat noises* ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[designation-ward]

ooc:the more the merrier, i also started off just shitposting and then simultaneously doubled down on it and started actual plot

you can do (almost) anything you want forever /lh

[isyourmechrunning]

OOC: NEW BLOOD!!!!! My biggest recommendation is to not try to keep track of everything going on, and mostly follow those that interest you/that you want to follow!! Other than that, bringing homebrew is absolutely fine and plenty of us use it!!

[isyourmechrunning]

>>Hi!!!!! It’s been a bit!!!! I figure I should update some people about what’s going on while I get back to this.

>>So, uh, things have been… going. The USB guys are figuring more stuff out, apparently getting some weird readings that mean a bit more to them. I’m under a bit tighter security now, which is why I haven’t really been on the Omninet a lot, on top of the tests.

>>It’s been difficult convincing them to give me an Omninet connection, especially since I… I’m not exactly going in the workshop anymore. It’s been weird, I’m trying to sort it out.

>>But!!!!! I’ve been bored out of my MIND the past couple months so having an Omninet connection back is GREAT
