    2 computers still left, and space for another couple with laptops I think
  2. The place is open 48 hours over the weekend, so if anyone wants to do anything over night they can do. Although got nothing planned as yet! If any of you coming along have got something you'd like to do... a TF or something?

    I'll probably be doing 9am Saturday till 5pm or a little later depending on how I'm feeling health-wise, and same again (or a little later start) on the Sunday.
  3. According to the website it says as many entries as we like per person! Is this right?!

    Hmm, sounds like a chance for the chest waxing to come back in force then...

    Those who *DO* start anything will be forcibly waxed....
    Gahhhh! You can, just not about the one regarding roleplay on the other part of the forum that's caused chaos. I think I will bring a pot of wax... just for you Gangrel

    I give up... I'm gonna go hide in my box now.
  5. Don't worry Dante! Everything will be fine! I hope... gah.. why did I say I'd do this thing again? What was I thinking! *runs around in a panic* Only 17 days to go! ARGH! I'm terrified!

    No one will be getting thrown out as I doubt anyone would be silly enough to start an argument (unless it's over pizza toppings!).. besides, I'll be there with my cardboard box and wheelchair of doom* Please lets just not talk about any controversial forum topics and all have a good time meeting folks and putting globals to faces

    *Now hoping it doesn't sound like I'm coming as Captain Pike or Davros!
  6. This thread seems to have derailed in to Galaxy Girl roleplayers vs Cactus Brawler and every other roleplayer who doesn't subscribe to the GG way of thinking.

    I choose not to go to GG, or get involved with any GG plots, therefore not one of your 'shared' events appears in any of my characters 'realities' on the Union server. There seems to be two separate communities here, Galaxy Girl and everyone else. I suggest they stay separate as they obviously don't get along, seeing as almost all the posts against CB seem to be from that quarter, even though he's CHANGED his plot so that they don't have to become involved now!
  7. Yep, still room

    There's still 4 computers up for grabs at the place, and so far 6 are bringing their own laptops (7 including yourself)

    Yep! Still room
  9. Bathory's on holiday for another 2 weeks.
  10. Simple answer, don't drive then! :P

    If you feel you can organise something better yourself then I suggest you do it instead of moaning

    (p.s. This event could have been held in Halesowen but I thought a more central location with more transport links, shops, pubs and other places would be better. Plus it's just around the corner from the old Omega Sektor)

    Not sure what we'll be using for prizes yet lol, but you're welcome to bring your t-shirt along anyway
  12. Well, seeing as I might be the only girl currently going it seems like the box idea would be for the best. I was even going to cut a slot in the top so I could wave my exclamation mark if anyone got near and make the 'noticed noise' from Metal Gear Solid should anyone approach...

    Or I might just come as Kall, seeing as the clothes aren't too dissimilar to my usual attire :P
  13. If anyone wants to come along in costume (or feels brave enough) they're more than welcome to There may even be a prize for the best dressed.....
  14. High above the Countess sat Darkleaf, hidden in shadow. She couldn't see what Elizabeth saw, just hear what she said.

    "Hmm, a robot!" she mused to herself. "Things might start to get interesting again..."
  15. Darkleaf -had- been on her way to grow the vines as requested, but on seeing the special forces men walking past her with what looked like a fae over one of their shoulders she decided to investigate. On her way to the dungeons she bumped in to Miss Elizabeth, "Where are did they take that creature from the roof?" she enquired, "To the dungeons I think Miss Elizabeth!"

    On reaching the dungeons she cautiously crept up to the bars and peered through. At first she couldn't see anything due to the darkness of the interior, but after a moment she spotted the pale white and blue winged fae sat at the back of the cell. She studied it for a moment, wondering what type of fairy it could be before cautiously saying, "Hello?"
  16. I've been updating it as people have been saying they're coming

    It looks like there's going to be around 16 people coming (4 with their own computers/laptops) leaving 3 computers free, and I've got 7 who aren't sure if they can make it or not yet.

    Sounds like this is actually going to be quite a big meet. Are you sure this place is prepared for a sudden influx, Kall? We might need to go into the place in shifts!
    *Runs around panicking* It should be okay, I told them when I booked that it could be between 15-20 folks showing up, maybe more, but some won't be staying all day and all night, so it should all even out.

    I've got to phone/email the place a couple of weeks before the meet just to give them a heads up on final numbers and let them know we're all gonna definitely be there

    Looking forward to meeting everyone, although I may go disguised as a box anyway.

    Darkleaf looks up from apparently studying the floor, shuffling her feet a little, "Uhm, yes Miss Elizabeth! It shouldn't be too much of a problem to coax some thorny poisonous roots from the ground there, maybe even some large thorny vines as well!" she giggles a little, "They'd wrap around any would be intruders, holding them in place until someone got there to talk to them, or until they died.." Her eyes sparkled mischievously, "Or I could ask them to rip anyone to bits that comes near them whilst slowly poisoning them to death, it would make nice fertilizer for more thorny vines, and I could stick their heads on top of the vines!" She smiles impishly, yet looks somehow still totally innocent, as if what she's just said is the most natural thing in the world... nothing wrong with it whatsoever in her mind.

    Darkleaf fidgets a little, looking down at the floor then looking back up at Elizabeth. "Well," she pauses for a moment, biting her lip in a thoughtful manner, "I suppose it could be dangerous, but you said that this was a safe place and that no one would hurt me, but I've overheard all kinds of conversations and it doesn't seem that safe a place to me!"

    She smiles impishly yet innocently, "But if they don't see me I'll be okay! And Mr Lucard said that I should keep what I hear to myself and not go talking about it and I've not!" Looking thoughtful again, "I'm not dangerous Miss Elizabeth!"

    Darkleaf returned Shannon's mischievous smile as they followed Lucard to Elizabeth's room, she whispered to the other fae, "It's sometimes fun if they don't know you're there, can find out all kinds of things!".

    On reaching the Countesses room Darkleaf stayed by the door for a moment, but then remembered that she was supposed to be fetching Shannon to see Elizabeth anyway, so rushed in with her.

    Without listening or waiting to hear what Lucard was saying, and looking a little panicked she launched straight in with "Miss Elizabeth? I.. I bought you Shannon like you asked. Sorry it took so long, but there were these big crashing noises and tinkling noises and stuff so I thought I'd go and check what it was all about and Shannon came with me just in case something bad were happening, but instead we found a Lucard shaped hole in Ghost of Death's wall and all her stuff thrown about and things and then we followed him here!" she takes a breath, standing and waiting, looking a little unsure.
  21. A quiet Darkleaf follows Lucard....

    Darkleaf had been on her way with Shannon to find Elizabeth when she heard all the crashing and banging, and the tinkling noise of a piano dropping. Curiosity getting the better of her she turned to Shannon, "Just got to see what that noise was! Might be something can help with!..." With that she changes direction and flits quickly in the direction the noise came from.

    On reaching the corridor she pauses in mid flight, looking at the wreckage of stuff all over the floor, and a new Lucard shaped hole in the wall. She tries to find a place in which to make herself small and hidden... Listening in on their conversation.

    Darkleaf looked around for a moment, jumping as Elizabeth shouted. With silent wings she fled the dungeon, down the hallways towards Shannon's room which was next to hers. On reaching the room she's panicking so much that she doesn't bother to land, just keeps on flying, instead knocking poor Shannon flying backwards and on to her bed.

    In a rush she blurts out, "Shannon! Shannon! Miss Elizabeth needs you right now! She's in the Dungeon, and there's all kinds of bad stuff going on in there, and Ghost of Death turned in to two people, a kind of cloud and a human and then they both ran off and I don't know what's going to happen, but apparently there's someone called Adam outside flinging lighting at the castle and anyway Elizabeth needs you!"

    She finishes, panting for breath, grabbing hold of Shannon's arm to pull her up.. "We need to go now!"
