DPP - Game on!

[aurora-0811.livejournal.com]

The posting rules are simple.

• You can only post reactions and dialog for your chraracter
• Give others a chance to respond (If it takes too long, I'll try and jump in and move things along w/out trying to do too much altering to the character)

That's it!  I know this may or may not work and if it doesn't then at least we tried.  Also, we sadly have no Adama or Roslin so if you want to write appearances by them then go for it....they are the wild card characters open to anyone. For now let's say they are both in sickbay and Doc Cottle is getting Adama patched up post fight.

Some people won't be around until later tonight so try to remember that!  Our Starbuck might be modded a bit by Tara until Ray gets home so that we can keep pilots in motion.  To get the game going I'm going to post as a deckhand (so excuse the poor writing skills please)

We start our game at the very end of UB.  Starbuck and Apollo are laying bloodied and battered on the mat of the boxing ring.  Slowly the crowd starts to thin out and all the crew can talk about is Maj. Adama and Capt. Thrace.  The whispers and theories about what happened so long ago on New Caprica to cause their rift echo off the bulkheads.  Finally Col. Tigh steps out of the ring and orders everyone but the knuckledraggers off the deck and for them to get it back to combat ready status.  It’s 15 minutes later, the bleachers are stacked, tables are stowed and the only thing left to dismantle is the ring but Starbuck and Apollo are still laying in it.  The deck gang is trying to decide who is going to be the one to say something to them….

ETA:  Rooms are added, if there is any place you specifically want to work from let me know. I'm adding an OOC comment at the end so put all your comments, needs or questions there....i figure its best to have it all in one place.

EDIT 11:30PM EST:  Hey everyone!  Thanks so much for joining in, we've started it a bit and kind of established where everyone is.  We've been discussing keeping this going for a few days and posting jumps ahead and what not in the coming days.  Please continue to add anything into this thread, make your character interact in the established places or if you want to start a new "room" just let me know.  Tomorrow there will be a post about continuing the story.  Thanks again for all your patience while we figure it out, I hope you enjoy playing and reading!

Sweeping the busy room with another look, "You sure you don't want to take this someplace less public?" With a shrug, "Not that the whole ship isn't already yammering on about last night."

Saul looked down at his unappetizing tray of food, and then back at Kara.

"You want to get a table, or not?"

Kara spotted an empty table in the corner of the room. She jerked her head toasted it. "Fine." Kara crossed the room ignoring stares and whispers in her wake. She slumped down into her seat setting her cup of coffee down hard on the table. This was a real fine mess. Beautiful disaster. She almost wanted to congratulate herself on this one. And now the Old Man knew... Well. He knew something. Now she just needed to find out what.

Following in her wake, the Colonel put his infamous scowl to good use, and some of the hall's occupants took the less then subtle hint to clear out.

He settled with a groan, and watched Kara for a moment before speaking.

"The Admiral's got a right to know what's happening on his own ship. Specially if it affects combat readiness." He rubbed at his freshly shaved face, the smoothness seeming strange.

With a sigh, "Look, frat regs are there for a reason, but they didn't make a whole hell lot of difference when you were stranded on that moon. So, way I see it, you and young Adama get your mess cleaned up, keep it private, and I've no problem with who're your with."

Another pause as he took a swig, not sure how to advise her in relation to his friend and commander. After what had been said in the rec room about getting her act together...well, he just wasn't sure how Bill was going to react.

Finally he said, "Now, the Admiral might have other ideas. But, give him some time, and I think he'll come around."

Kara raked a hand through her hair. She wondered how the hell it came to be that she was coming to Saul Tigh for advice, when she used to gate the man's guts. She supposed going through the shithole that was New Caprica was a good enough reason. Kara looked him over- getting clean was never easy. She admired his guts not that she'd ever tell him. Seemed that the both of them were starting to let go of shit from the past.

Then again, maybe some things were too big. "I don't know. After what I did to his other son I can't imagine he would want me anywhere near Lee. Not like that."

Re: Mess Hall

Saul raised his eyebrows. He'd known that Kara had been involved with the youngest Adama, but wasn't sure what that had to do with the elder son. Other than, maybe thinking she shouldn't be moving on, but, hey, it'd been years now, even Bill wouldn't expect her to keep that candle lit forever. Then again, neither had the man been aware of the exact nature of his two pilots' relationship. Until now, at least.

"Look, maybe I'm not the best one to be asking. Doesn't seem like you fared very well last time you did."

He poked at the cold eggs before shoving the tray aside.

"All I can tell you is that the Admiral already considers you family, and despite what he said, that hasn't changed," he said with a nod, then gruffly added, "So, if you frakkin' want Apollo, then take him. Too little left in this world to hold onto. Gotta get what you can, I say."

Wagging a finger at her now, "Just mind you do your job."

"You know me, sir. Fight 'em til we can't."

Tigh never said it but she could hear it in his voice--because you never know when it will be gone. She thought about Tigh's wife. Kara couldn't stand the woman and she knew that the two of them had a rocky relationship to say the least bit if he could still love her that much after everything... Well it gave her hope.

"For what it's worth," she said, finishing up her coffee and pushing back from the table. "Your advice isn't entirely shit." Kara grinned.

"Guess coming from you, Thrace, I should consider that high praise," he replied, a half-grin of his own forming. "And...good hunting, Captain," Tigh said, raising his mug as a parting salute.
