Hello there everyone, I hope you're all doing well!

It's been a long-ass-time since I replied or posted anything in here--so I guess I owe you guys and gals an explanation!

I've been super busy with my comic book and myself as of late. Between working on "Buzzard", being at Comic-Con and kicking ass--I've finally found time and will to start gaming again. AC: Unity and DA: Inquisition being the guilty parties here.

MERP was and will always be an amazing part of me growing as a writer, and this isn't a goodbye at all, maybe a... "see you later"? Lennox is an incredible character to RP as and I love him to death... but I haven't been feeling it lately.

To the people that had threads with me--I'm so, fucking, sorry. Really, I am. Thank you for putting up with the late replies and the eventual... not replying at all.

To everyone I ever RP'd--I'll back, don't you worry--I'm just on a bit of a hiatus. :)

With that, have a great night/day and you're all talented, lovely bastards--I love you.

Wow, I actually got to work there.

I hope you all find my replies satisfying--and thank you TONS for bearing with me.

See you soon you lovely bastards.

"Thane. How have you been, friend?"

He blinked both sets of eyelids. He was surprised to see Shepard up so late. Perhaps, that was an untruth. It was more so that he rarely ran into anyone during his late night trips to the mess. The past few days, outside of any missions he’d been taken on, he’d withdrawn more than normal. Hidden away in his quarters. Meditating. 

He had to bite inside of his cheek to keep his neutral expression. It was obvious Shepard was making a point. He’d noticed Thane’s absence.

With a hot cup of tea in hand, his gaze fell to the human who had done so much for him. Given him purpose, saved his son from walking a dark path, and been there for him time and again. “Grab something to drink and join me, if you will. I shall return to my quarters.” He inclined his head and returned to life support. 

He watched the ebb and flow of the drive core’s light and took small sips of his tea, while he waited for the man to join him.

[lennoxshepard]

“Prepare for the worst, expect the best.” the quote left his mouth with both an inspiring and inspired tone, accompanied by a stern watch. “Someone from the past, passed that unto me. It has been with me ever since—and helped me go through N7 training.” Reminiscing about his younger days awarded him with a trembling smile, one drenched in uncertainty and cherished memories. There was a lot in his past that Lennox yearned to leave behind, but just like Thane faced his, he did the same in quiet contemplation.

"Kolyat will change." he said kindly, holding his mug carefully, avoiding placing his lips on it until it had cooled down. "Just give the kid time." The commander sighed heavily seconds after his advice, thinking about the answer to the drell’s question. "The excessive use of biotics riles me up. It keeps me awake. That and… missing people." his confession was almost a whisper, a hoarse and low sound.

[serethanekrios]

"Yesss…" he said slowly. "I must confess, your words were my own…when I was on the hunt. Everything…every contingency planned out ahead. I would would prepare for anything that could go wrong, yet I expected nothing to, such was my pride." He looked up from his cup to gaze into Shepard’s eyes. "I have no such pride regarding my son. I have hope that my son’s path will lead him back to me," he admitted softly. "More hope than I have a right to have. But I expect nothing."

He nodded at Shepard’s advice. “That Kolyat will change - it is my hope as well. Though, I too must change. If he is ever to see me as a father, then I must become what I wish him to see.” He took a sip of his tea, set it back on the table and clasped his hands around the mug. “If I survive the mission, then I shall retire and devote what time I have left to my son. I cannot make up for what I did, but…perhaps, I can give him some peace.”

He was just the opposite when it came to biotics. Excessive use tired him… especially, if he was unable to eat enough food to offset it. But he understood well the pain of loss. Not just his wife, but so many family members lost to kepral’s. He inclined his head in acknowledgement. “It was the anniversary of my wife’s death yesterday,” he stated matter of fact. “I understand loss. Do you wish to speak of it?”

[lennoxshepard]

There was a hint of a smile on Lennox's pressed lips. Pain behind his pale green eyes. "Virmire." The word stung like an open wound being cleansed. "I lost a very good friend there, in an operation to stop Saren's plans." The man opened up, his back against the wall to the Drell's left, his rifles to Shepard's immediate right, a sight to behold. "When I was groomed for command, Anderson always reminded me; eventually I would need to make hard decisions--decisions that would cost lives, although I never expected to let a friend die to save thousands. It seems harsh, but I would do it again, knowing what I know today. Which concerns me."

He wondered about his emotionless view before sipping his drink, its mild warmth easier to swallow. "What about you, Thane, how are you holding up?" The human's question aimed at the painful date uttered by the alien minutes before.

"I have learned my lesson about underestimating my enemy, Jack. I won’t do it again when we’re so close to pushing them off the station."

One step led the other and Lennox found himself inside the dimly lit elevator, an eerie feeling to it. The buttons were dark, the fluorescent lights flickering. “Seems fishy.”

[subject-zero-zero-bullshit]

          Jack watched him, refusing to follow him after hearing the words he had just said. A scowl on her face as she retreated back to her previous spot on the ground, near some distorted steel ripped from the Presidium floors due to proximity mines.  

"All of my fucking nope, nope."

[lennoxshepard]

His right nostril flared. "It's the only way up. Don't turn your back on me now, Jack." He extended his hand, the black glove opening, a caring gesture masked by need. "Udina needs to be stopped."

Lennox pressed his ear, two fingers maximizing the acoustic of the voice on his comm. "Bailey, are the elevators in the Presidium safe? I'll ping my location." he ended his question with a few taps on his omnitool, the orange light encasing the dark interior with orange tones.

[lennoxshepard]

A grenade thrown by Lennox set off a chain reaction, explosions scattering mechs and troopers alike as mayhem spread like wildfire. There was a hint of a smile creeping through the commander’s lips as he shot down both the men and machines confused by the eradication of their rearguard. "Weapons free! Pick them all out.”

[defactoruler-deactivated2015081]

"What do you think I’ve been doing?" Aria yelled back as she continued to pick off Cerberus troops, either one by one or in groups. Each biotic detonation clearing a small area and aiding in clearing their path. She couldn’t help but push forward, every time an area was cleared, the matriarch moved closer. The only part that reminded her that Shepard was still around was the sound of battle that she wasn’t causing.

[lennoxshepard]

There was no use shackling Aria's aggression during their push. Lennox had lead men like her--their bloodlust was what drove them, even if they were focused on the objective. The "Queen of Omega" wanted her throne back, it was more than clear by then and Shepard found that soaking her kingdom crimson red and ebony black would be the way to go about it.

He focused on deactivating the barrier in front of them, its glow overwhelming the white chassis of the Mechs and Cerberus armour. "Cover me!" the man yelled, charging into the fray with his finger on the trigger, the shotgun's bayonet attachment piercing a trooper's gut serving as a plate-clad-meat shield.

Hey there,

Long time no speak, huh?

I'm sorry for not logging in for so long, but with publishing my comic book, taking care of merchandise and finding the time to both work, relax and game--I rarely had time even to think about RPing.

Besides, I always feel like thanking you lovely ladies and lads for interacting with both me and Lennox. You're fucking awesome.

[lennoxshepard]

Although Lennox was never too keen on aliens,  Garrus proved him wrong by revealing himself as a worthy ally and more importantly, a friend during the events prior and during the Battle of the Citadel. Thane seemed far from different, inspiring trust withing the human. Fighting his own struggles and making up for his mistakes as everyone else in the galaxy, the drell was a man of honour nonetheless—even if that was quite rare in an assassin.

Gathering his jacket and mug, the hot tea was steaming inside and soon the commander stepped into the driest room in the Normandy. Taking a small sip after blowing into his drink, he regretted it, wincing at the sting on his upper lip. “How’s Kolyat?” Lennox inquired with a curious arch of his brow, barely noticeable in the dim lighting.

[serethanekrios]

He did not turn when Shepard entered. Few bothered to come to his room and none had the same force of presence as Shepard.  The scent of the man’s tea preceded him, wafting into the room, juxtaposing with the scent of his his own, creating a unique, though not unpleasant aroma. 

"You are welcome to join me, as always, Shepard,:" he said, motioning to the chair across from him. He ran his finger along the rim of his tea cup as he contemplated the man’s question. "Kolyat is…well. Bailey is keeping me informed of his progress. His…animosity seems to be directed solely at me.," he said matter of fact. Careful to keep emotion from his face. "Kolyat’s replies to me are…infrequent. I expect nothing more." His eyes rose to the flashing drive core seen through the window. "I have much to atone for," he said quietly. 

His dark gaze settled on Shepard. “What sees you up at this hour?”

[lennoxshepard]

"Prepare for the worst, expect the best." the quote left his mouth with both an inspiring and inspired tone, accompanied by a stern watch. "Someone from the past, passed that unto me.

"Let’s go then." Lennox ordered with a smile, his crimson armour flaring up with a blue hue, biotics trickling down his arm. He pulled a shockwave out of the floor, its rhytmic thumping alerting the Cerberus troopers of their presence—to no avail.

In no time they hit the walls and ceilings, the ones hovering engulfed in a barrier quickly shot down to meet their comrades. "Flank right!" he crossed in front of her, flanking left, the mechs shooting at them both.

[defactoruler-deactivated2015081]

Aria immediately ran to the right, finding cover before staggering a couple of mechs with carnage. Their quick recuperation proved to be bothersome, as she shot around cover before the got to close to her position. When the two finally exploded, she aimed her biotics at nearby Cerberus troops.

A group of three, started towards her, she primed them with reave, watching it spread. Once the last one was covered in the attack, she aimed lash at the one in the middle and watched as the detonation took out all three at once. Aria made sure to keep her ears open for Shepard, just in case anything happened, or if they could push forward.
