Nothing like a good case of mistaken identity...

Moo A is Ansible, where my character was formerly Shandahr. She was a commander. She graduated. I relaunched as Teryn. Dakota is a long-time acquaintance of mine, whom I thought I had told about my new character name. Launchie_A is someone I'm trying to give a hand to, and it's not working well. Moo B is Arcana, where I am Vita and she is Piccolo. Comments are colour-coded. This log involves two things: the base stupidity to which Piccolo refers later, and what happens when you forget to tell people who you are. I've colour-coded by moo and interposed them in actual chronological order. It's not too bad. * Launchie_A has connected. [Launchie] Launchie_A> How come I have'nt been promoted into an army, I took the test and passed like a week ago... [Launchie] Launchie_A> Is anyone on the launchie channel? [Launchie] * Teryn is. [Launchie] Launchie_A> Oh hey Teryn [Launchie] Teryn> Did you look at '@req me' to see if you have everything? (OOC) Teryn> Hi. (Launch B Barracks) (OOC) Launchie_A> Whoa I did'nt know about that stuff... (OOC) * Teryn grins. [Launchie] Launchie_A> Can someone check off description and pinfo on my @rq list? His description: This child is nondescript. He is wearing a light blue uniform with a patch indicating his launch group. In other words, he hasn't done it. (OOC) Teryn> You don't -have- a description... (OOC) Launchie_A> all my description (IC) is set (OOC) Teryn> When I look at you, all I see is 'this child is nondescript'... >>> You tell Dakota, "You around?" (OOC) Launchie_A> I set it all (OOC) Teryn> You can't do description with set, tho. Type 'look me' and you'll see. Launchie_A says, "look me'" Launchie_A says, "look me' " (OOC) Launchie_A> Doesnt work (OOC) Launchie_A> Oh there (OOC) Launchie_A> There I did it... (OOC) Launchie_A> I need to make a waaaay better description (OOC) Launchie_A> Oh well His description now reads: A little crazy at times and when I get started on something I'll start with a vengeance and never follow through. Which is the least descriptive description I've seen in a while. (OOC) Teryn> They mean physical description there in @desc...what the character looks like. At this point I looked up his pinfo information. It claims he's 12 and lives in Canada. So the next conversation that takes place is...well, odd. (OOC) Launchie_A> How come your idle? (OOC) Teryn> I'm supposed be studying. (OOC) Launchie_A> Oh, sorry.. (OOC) * Teryn grins. Is okay. (OOC) Launchie_A> What are you studying? (OOC) Launchie_A> I missed all my classes... (OOC) Teryn> Today? Cardiac physiology. I have to take my first licensing exam on May 21st. (OOC) Launchie_A> In real life or in the game? (OOC) Teryn> IRL. I'm studying to be a doctor. (OOC) Launchie_A> Thank god, you scared me there, thought I'd have to do that in the game... (OOC) Teryn> Oh, havens no :) (OOC) Launchie_A> A little bit of advice, if bieng a doctor ever fails you and you cant find a job, try out Real Estate Investing (OOC) Teryn> Oh? (OOC) Launchie_A> My mom gave me 1000 dollars to buy a house, fix it up and sell it for more, I've already made over 80k and its in a bond (OOC) Launchie_A> in one year (OOC) * Teryn has never been much interested in making money. But I'll keep that in mind. (OOC) Launchie_A> I'm not interested either really but you need it to live (OOC) Launchie_A> thats why its all in bonds, because I dont want it in a bank where it can be taken by the government (OOC) Launchie_A> and I dont care much about it so I'll save it for my retirement His description now reads: Short for his age with blue eyes and jet black hair. Big feet with long toes and long fingers on his hands. At least it's a description. You will note, still no answer from Dakota. And I just sort of refused to talk to him after that... Meanwhile, on Arcana: [Public] Ashyn wants /boys/. Mmhm. [Public] Vita passes Ashyn the moron boy on Ansible she's talking to. [Public] Miralys> Oh dear, which one? [Public] Vita> Name of Launchie_A? [Public] Miralys> Must be a new one. [Public] Vita> Pinfo says he's 12 IRL. He's telling me about how he earned $80K in one year from the $1000 his mom gave him to buy a house and fix it up. And it's all in bonds. [Public] Miralys> .... [Public] Jorath> rofl [Public] Vita> Just a tip for me, in case being a Dr doesn't work out and I can't find a job. [Public] Miralys chuckles. [Public] Jorath> Whats the kid do sell heroin? [Public] Vita> no, he buys houses and fizes them up. In Canada, if his pinfo is correct. [Public] Piccolo> Hmm, well I guess he deserves a bit of credit for being 12 and knowing what a bond is....kinda? [Public] Vita> Piccy, nudge on over there and tell him his pinfo and desc need work? :) [Public] Piccolo grins, "I've no authority on that moo anymore...and besides, if I unidle Teryn will see and I'll blow my "I'm idle and hence didn't see your paging me' cover." [Public] Miralys chuckles. [Public] Vita> What's wrong with Teryn? >>> To Dakota: Teryn sobs! You dun love me! [Public] Piccolo blinks, "Oh wait....GAH!" [Public] Vita> I swear I tooooold you! [Public] Piccolo cries, misread your post on launch and thought you were some retarded newbie kid. [Public] Piccolo giggles, "Nooooo, didn't tell me!" [Public] Piccolo huggles Teryn, loooove. >>> To Dakota: Teryn shows off desc and pinfo. "Some retarded newbie kid indeed." >>> Dakota whimpers, sorries. >>> Dakota giggles, "Yea, I typed pinfo and was just like, "Ah crap." Done with the Princeton Review cardio section. Next up: renal.
