Title: M.I.A.
Post by: Gabriel on August 15, 2006, 12:32:52 PM

M.I.A.

Well Chummers,
   I had a thought in a separate thread about those of us who have run the shadows and never been seen again. As those of us who sit in the Pub and drink our synthahol and swap tales of our latest runs and near misses, others of us are out there in the cold, cruel 6th world with no back-up. So this thread is dedicated to those of us who have passed into the shadows without a trace. Who are they? When did you last see them? Do you have any idea if they are ever coming back? I don’t remember them all, so give me a hand filling it out. Post what you can about our missing comrades, chummers. We may be the only people who remember them.

Gabriel

The Missing:
Fortune
Flipside
Neo Paladin
Eve
Janus Neckbreaker
Mr. Book
The Mad Chemist

I've never met Eve or The Mad Chemist

He wasn't here for very long.

Eve was pretty cool. She came in with Janus and started posting a bit. As for the Mad Chemist, he posted a few times and seemed like a nice guy, but I don't think he ever really got his fotting so to speak. A bummer, really.

What about Peaches, or Luna?

Or even Captain North (since he came back right before the fall, and hasn't been back since)

I've seen Luna and Captain North a few times, but I think North sometimes visits without posting (Seen his name in the 'who's on' list)

Don't think I've met Peaches, though.

Post by: Gabriel on August 16, 2006, 01:45:39 PM

Peaches is APocalypse's wife, which makes me wonder if she's what she appears or if she, too, is a dragon. I think she's only posted 2 or 3 times.

Peaches is kewl, she and my wife hit it off.  Apoc is a great guy too, I'm taller than his human form ;)

How tall are you?

5'11"

Post by: Gabriel on August 17, 2006, 10:12:23 AM

6'7"??? Did your mom drink some kind of glowing green stuff when she was pregnant??? Or maybe get scared by a girraffe??

Gabriel

Title: Re:M.I.A.
Post by: kv on August 17, 2006, 02:08:47 PM

Actually, all of the people in my family are tall- my sister is the smallest of us, at like 5'11", but even Ruski is 6'2" or so.

I'm the tallest, but my youngest brother might beat me there- he's only 19, and already 6'5" or so. (I hate being asked, so I try to avoid asking anyone else either)

You know, I hope you and I never have to take a picture standing together. It would look like a "Before" and "After" picture of growth hormones. ;)

Post by: Zone on August 18, 2006, 01:36:18 PM

I think that leaves me with the low end of the scale ; although I get the impression Luna isn't all that tall, so perhaps not. Then again I may be getting person and persona mixed up.

In other news, any word or news from those MIA?

Title: Re:M.I.A.
Post by: Gabriel on August 18, 2006, 03:12:56 PM

Unfortunately, yes, but we all know about that one.

But seriously, you know who I really miss around here? Fotrune. Does anyone know what happened to him?? The problem with global commmunity is that you can't just pop around the corner and see if his lights are on. :-\

Cool, I've  got her by a couple of inches than :)  

I remember a guy called something like Wildman? He was on very briefly when I first found my way through these golden doors.  But even Apoc has gone from being a constant to a periodic.  He does whole lengths of MIA ness now.

Title: Re:M.I.A.
Post by: Gabriel on August 25, 2006, 11:14:40 AM

I believe you're thinking of Wildman Zeke. I didn't ever get a chance to talk to him.

I just saw Elena - she was logged on when I got here but has now vanished.  I believe she might now just be a ghost 'cause I don't see any posts....

Elana V?  I've seen her name in the Members Online list a few times, too.

<102306:21.12//xxipS..e> he he.. 'missing'? Is that what they call it nowadays? Laying low? Oh well... it must've been workin' then. Of course, I AM living in a shack in the middle of nowhere with barely an uplink, so... but don't worry about me, chummers - it's all good.

<102306:21.17//xxipS..e> Just checkin' in - don't think I'll risk the up-time for a while. They'll just find me again.
