All in a Writer’s Day

Last night Shirley, Cat, Blue and I got together via IM to do a role-play in aid of the conversation starting in yesterday’s, and continuing in today’s, posts. We thought it would just be your everyday, average, mundane Philosopher in Arms RP. It went like this:

Cat says:
I just read the teaser, who am I?
Chevenga says:
either Vaneesh or Mirko, you and Blue can arm wrassle over which
Cat says:
rock paper scissors?
Blue says:
I think I might be good at Vaneesh... Cat the conquering hero
Niku says:
{sorry there's a domestic happening next door}
Chevenga says:
Oh jeebus

[A short while later…]

Cat says:
Mirko what?
Chevenga says:
It's Mirko son of someone but I can't remember who - I'd have to look it up.
Niku says:
{I'm wondering if I should call 911... they have long guns in the house..]
Mirko of Roskat says:
oh shit, the kid abandoners?
Chevenga says:
yes them!!!
Niku says:
I think she kicked him out...
Chevenga says:
You can hear words?
Niku says:
brb
Mirko of Roskat says:
shiiiiiiiiiiit
Niku says:
yes
Chevenga says:
If he refuses to go he's doing something illegal
Because it's her house
Maybe just the cops, not 911
I wish you weren't the only fricking neighbour.
Blue says:
yeah, people get shot for gettin in sombodys bidness
Chevenga says:
Not shot up here so much, but other nasty shit.
Of course the woman is capable of calling 911 herself, unless she gets incapacitated somehow...
Niku says:
ok
I just called 911
and she did
Chevenga says:
Holy shit
Where's he?
Niku says:
because he was breaking in
Chevenga says:
Holyyyyyy shit.
Niku says:
outside, yelling
Chevenga says:
Well, we know how close the cops are.
(Very close)
Niku says:
ok jeez
Blue says:
thats good
Mirko of Roskat says:
hope they are REAL close
Chevenga says:
Make like you're not there.
Niku says:
yeah
Chevenga says:
2 min drive.
if that.
Niku says:
here they come... the cops
Chevenga says:
Guess that takes care of him.
Niku says:
oh
wait
Chevenga says:
I hope...
Not the cops?
Niku says:
not sure
why don't you guys start
Chevenga says:
This is more freaking excitement than I expected tonight.
I can't speak for anyone else but I'm a bit distracted!!!!!!!
Mirko of Roskat says:
a bit
Chevenga says:
hahaha
I'm glad she kicked him out but it could put her in danger if he's not locked up
Or doesn't chill
How long have they been together?
Blue says:
our neighbors across the street it’s two generations of drama
Chevenga says:
Woo hoo
Mirko of Roskat says:
our neighor directly across have frequent cop-mediated discussions
Chevenga says:
Good grief.
Niku says:
ok
that was the cops
wow they drove fast
Chevenga says:
It's legal for them.
Niku says:
they pulled in here and I was outside... I directed them
Chevenga says:
"So there we were RPing while cops dealt with a domestic next to Shirley"
Niku says:
they moved fast because I mentioned the long guns in the house
Chevenga says:
Good one.
Niku says:
oh another car coming
four cops
Mirko of Roskat says:
oh yes-
Niku says:
she called 911
Mirko of Roskat says:
cop convention. how many do y'all HAVE up there?
Niku says:
because he was breaking in
Chevenga says:
Maybe they're worried about the Shoot Out at [name redacted]'s Corral.
Niku says:
hmm
Chevenga says:
That'd be all the cops in Burks Falls, lol!!!!
Niku says:
pretty much
four at a time on duty
Chevenga says:
We know from when they were searching for Raphi when he got lost in the woods.
Mirko of Roskat says:
lots of personalized attention
Niku says:
yeah
Chevenga says:
Yeah, two per disputant.
I hope no one else in Burks Falls has a fight in the next little while.
Niku says:
so...
Chevenga says:
right.
deep breath.
All will be well.
Niku says:
yes
Chevenga says:
I think they'd have the discussion in Roskat City ...
Vaneesh says:
yes let us get on with the serious business of nookie
Chevenga says:
The governor's mansion cum old Roskati palace
Mirko of Roskat says:
Ahem!
Chevenga says:
hahahahhaa
Nookie?
THIS IS POLITICS!!!
Mirko of Roskat says:
uh uh
Chevenga says:
hahahahaha
Mirko of Roskat says:
same thing

[Another short while later…]

Vaneesh says:
*lets go and pats Chevenga's hand very gently* "It's alright, I understand what you meant
Chevenga says:
Thanks Vaneesh.
Niku says:
[exucse me, cops]
Chevenga says:
Just to review... since as I understand it, we're all agreed in principle.
[putting this on pause!!]
Vaneesh says:
"You love her and would sing her praises to everyone you met
Chevenga says:
[No doubt they're going to grill S about what she's seen and heard]
Vaneesh says:
right ~pshew
Chevenga says:
[I hope she tells them about when the two kids, something like eight and five, came over to her place because they were left ALONE by this a-hole.]
Vaneesh says:
yeah, she told us about that one
Niku says:
I'm back
Chevenga says:
So they questioned you?
Niku says:
yeah
what did I hear
Chevenga says:
And wouldn't tell you whether they're charging him etc. I imagine
Niku says:
why did I decide to call 911
Chevenga says:
yeah.
Niku says:
I'm a self defense instructor... did I know them
stuff like that
Chevenga says:
Yeah.
Niku says:
that he left his little girls
Chevenga says:
Ah, you did tell them that.
We were wondering.
They're *his*?
Like, with her?
Niku says:
I saw
no with an ex wife
Chevenga says:
*I* fricking saw that one!!!
They were terrified...
Didn't know what else to do but go to someone else human!
Niku says:
yeah
Chevenga says:
We gave them hugs....
Niku says:
they knew me because Tris and Raphi played with them
Chevenga says:
All the while thinking, what if we were child molesters?
Grrrrrrrrr
Niku says:
anyway... no, Vaneesh did not conceive with C when she was 'The Lover'
Chevenga says:
k
And she's over 30 - just read that in LH.

[And we continued, undisturbed, until Cat & Blue signed off to watch a TV show in which, I quote Blue, “this woman marries a mexican drugkingpin her life goes crazy-ier” and I settled down to write my gentle tale.]
