    Open ACME Retro

    After a moment's pause to catch her breath and a quick assessment to everyone's general health, Ivy stood. She readjusted her jacket, brushing some of the Mojave sand from her shoulders. There was something in the way Kid acted at the sound of gunshots that very much reminded Ivy of herself...

    Open ACME Retro

    Ivy had to roll her eyes at Zack geeking out once again, but she had to agree with Julie and her brother. Sometimes the direct route was best. The Junior Detectives kept vigilant as they walked down the road. The air felt cooler now that it was later in the day, and Ivy noticed their shadows...

    I know this is late but I just wanted to thank @Jade for my gift. Very thoughtful.

    Q & A What's your inner animal?

    (Answer is in OOC format) Canonical Ivy has identified with a Tigress, but if she were an animal it would be the Honey Badger. She is a fearless and not willing to back down--sometimes to the point of recklessness. Ivy is also tougher than she looks and is able to get out of most scrapes from...

    Open Secret Santa 2014!

    (There is no way this Secret Santa could work completely IC... so here is a semi-AU version.) When considering a gift for @Flag, Ivy briefly considered signing him up for a cuddle party so he would soften up, luckily logic prevailed. To the mysterious man she had met in Kamchatka, only the...

    Ivy rolled her eyes at Zack's childish quip. "...Brat," She retorted, pushing him away slightly, then pausing when there was a sudden 'click'. Her eyes widened, believing she had somehow triggered one of the many hidden pressure plates. It became apparent soon after that the loud sound came...

    ACME Retro - Decisions

    I got to read this a bit before you posted, but it's still good to see it here. Interesting to see Nace's family dynamic and how it plays into his Retro character, becoming more focused on EOD rather than sniping. But dark as usual. You should give him a break sometime.

    Open ACME Retro

    When the blaring alarm had ceased, Ivy noticed that everyone was gathered together. Nace Bilby seemed to apologize twice for having not warned Sophie Conrad and the others of the alarm, which made Ivy consider his personality. She had not learned much about the South African in the week, but he...

    Open ACME Retro

    "I--," Ivy paused as the instructor went on. Between the thought of defending her hatred of the abominations that were ACME's vending machines and feeling somewhat discomposed, she decided to stay quiet, letting off only a soft indignant huff. She didn't want to miss anything important in the...

    Open ACME Retro

    Through the houses they went, some with basic covered furnishings, some gutted, and others seemingly frozen in a state of construction. Everyone seemed to navigate easy enough, but it was @Kid Kidman's ability to move about that surprised Ivy the most. She met a lot of competitive fighters, and...

    Open ACME Retro

    Ivy listened to the brief exchange between Lee and Julie, noting some tension. She turned to the other member of their team, @Kidman, who seemed to be keeping quiet. "I think we did a decent job, but it looks like we're a bit behind schedule..." She checked the time on her communicator, then...

    Open ACME Retro

    The landing was smooth, and as soon as the detectives hit the ground they were given instructions to help with setting up equipment. It was a warm day, and getting hotter in the Mojave desert, though the abandoned buildings provided ample shade, and a cooler breeze whisked through between the...

    Q & A I'm Thankful For...

    Ivy is currently thankful for her crazy little brother, who always manages to make her smile. (This was sweet, thank you for posting another question.)

    Open ACME Retro

    Ivy tried to hide a smirk at Zack's gift of the Dr. Pepper can the Survival Skills instructor. He had no need to garner good favor with bribes, so she concluded this was purely a social gesture. Hard to accept as an older sibling, but her brother was really now at that age when cooties and candy...

    Hey @Tenchi Masaki btw I did save my password after my last bout of computer trouble. This time however I saved the wrong password so. As for Jon Eckart, I DO use Chrome browser the problem is when we I get on another computer the passwords aren't stored. That's my current problem. So I'm either gonna make a new account or figure something out 'cause I'm not bothering boss man :D :D

Google Drive: Sign-in <-- the appeal hearing (they didn't know I was recording) (I'll run it through some filters and see if I can clean it up) They/we have a tour of a potential place Thrusday at 1PM-ish like a block away... but there's no laundry (far as I know)... you can find it, 512 1/2 St. Germain St., St. Cloud Little tidbits... I brought up that if they're going after the folks, what about the (roughly) half of the rest of the bulding who all smoke in the building. ))

They have to wait up to 10 days to see what the "appeal officer" says... but they might have something being that they were never caught smoking, it was just that there was smoke smelled near their door ))

Moving stuff in is gonna be a struggle (wall outside main door is like a 60-degree angle)... big desk (mine), big entertainment center (the folks), "things" are gonna be weird (no privacy). The folks want it (gas stove in an apartment, claw-foot bathtub)... not all of our stuff comes apart nicely))
