Chat and OOC thread for "The Emissary"

[HumanBean]

I'm healthy as a horse ... on its way to the glue factory. I've had issues, but there aren't really anything I like to talk about, with friends or strangers. No offense to either of you. I will say I both sympathize and empathize with both of you. Pain, chronic illness, injury -- they all suck. Nothing worse than pain you can't get around, even with good drugs.

 

[HumanBean]

Sorry it took me so long to get another post up. I was sick all day.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Should I call the glue factory and have them prep a slab for you?"

 

[AnnieBloom]

Sorry it took me so long to get another post up. I was sick all day.

I've been busy with family. I'll try to post today.

 

[HumanBean]

Should I call the glue factory and have them prep a slab for you?"

A couple of hours ago I would have said yes.

 

[HumanBean]

So hey, for the both of you, if Angela (AnnieBloom) doesn't keep Clark in the Oval any longer, I'm fine with Clark leaving "off screen" and going back to the Naval Observatory with Alaina (The_Weeping_Angel). I will leave that to the two of you to discuss. I don't need to post anything more for Clark in the White House. He wants to get into his limo, stare at long legs, and get home. I'm sending a PM to TWA about this, so standby. Yes, Annie, TWA and I are keeping secrets from you.

I dealt with it. Your turn, TWA. (Have we decided, is that the shorcut for The_Weeping_Angel?)

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

not feeling well.. will post when I can.

Take care of yourself. We can wait. Seriously!

Vice President Clark Griffin

​

Physical description:

Image attached below​

54 years old, handsome, relatively fit (with a bit of winter fat)​

5'10", 215# (but trying to lose; stand by)​

Graying brunette hair.​

Psychological description/personality:

He is a very confident man who never failed at anything (until he lost the race for the Democratic Party's nomination for US President to Angela Paulson). His accomplishments include:​

Being a 3-sport varsity athlete his last three years of high school. (Ages 16-18)​

Being Army's starting quarterback his last 3 years in the Academy. (Ages 19-22)​

Reaching Colonel before the end of his 10 years of post-Academy service. (Age 23-33)​

(He won pretty much all of the "heroic" medals except for the Medal of Honor.)​

Won 7 consecutive elections:​

State Senator, Illinois. (Age 35-39)​

US Congressman, Illinois; reelected twice. (Age 40-46).​

US Senator, Illinois; reelected once but only put in 8 years total before becoming VP. (Age 46-54)​

​

Sex, romance, and relationships:

Married Marjorie when he was 36; she was 28.​

It was very much a "political" marriage.​

He was entering politics as a single man. Not a good look.​

She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman who supported the campaigns financially.​

Womanizer.​

He has had several affairs, all with much younger women.​

Some of these women worked in his office, most as interns.​

He also partakes of high-end escorts.​

Although a confirmed heterosexual, he occasionally partakes of blowjobs from men.​

His Chief of Staff, Frank (a very gay man), most often serves him.​

Clark doesn't reciprocate. It's all about his pleasure and dominance.​

​

Clark's family and friends:

​

None spoken of as of yet.​

 

[AnnieBloom]

FYI, I'm writing a quick post for Emelia. I wanted to say something because it's actually TWA's turn to write for M'Chel. Then, I have a family event that will take up most of my evening.

 

[AnnieBloom]

If both of you are okay with it, I would like to perform a jump or time jump or time leap or whatever they call it here in Lit. Maybe 3 days?

I can tell you what my characters will do in that time:

President Paulson will be busy with responding to the North Korean missile. She'll be moving the navy into place, railing at the UN, politicking with China and Russia, etc. She will also be trying to learn more about the Matluk, about how they stopped the missile, about what they are doing now, etc.​

​

In Australia, if James decides he and his wife are going to disappear, Camille will access her money, and they will disappear. (That's up to HumanBean.)​

​

Oh, I guess Annabelle and Liam (in Denver) have to end their current interaction. So, maybe we aren't ready to jump. But soon?​

 

[HumanBean]

A time jump sounds like a good idea. TWA and I have something worked up for Griffin and Carmichael (aka Clark and Alaina).

Liam will post once more, but then -- unless Annabelle has to post one last time -- we can push them three days as well. I'll leave it to Annie to move that one ahead.

James and Camille will have ran. I don't know if Emelia (AnnieBloom) will learn of this and do something about it or not. Your call. If not, I'm perfectly fine with James being out of the picture for a while. I have enough characters to keep me busy, plus I still have that convict Insert to write. (I've been waiting because I have too many characters already.)

Billy in Africa will still be there, monitoring. No interaction necessary there unless either of you need that.

 

[AnnieBloom]

I'm writing a time leap for all of my characters now. I will have it up in a couple of hours.

 

[AnnieBloom]

Sorry that that took so long. Family shit.

Anyway, I kind of set the stage for some new exciting stuff. I want either of you to feel free to come up with some fun. Don't just follow my lead. If you think you need to hint at it to me in PM or here, do that. Or if you think I will like it fine enough, just go for it. I don't want to seem like a dictator, ya know?

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Yavol. Mein heir...

 

[HumanBean]

Perfect timing. I'm writing the post between Clark and Alaina right now. I hope to have it up before I fall asleep at the keyboard.

 

[AnnieBloom]

Sorry, I was not feeling well today and couldn't write. I'm working on a post now, in case either of you are awake and waiting.

Also, I will try to put up links for the profiles you have posted. I've fallen behind in my duties.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

You're fine.

 

[AnnieBloom]

Okay, so I'm fine with no more conversation being necessary in the Bunker. I'm going to write a post tomorrow in which South Korea invades North Korea. I'm done in the bunker unless TWA wants to post for M'Chel again.

BTW, I think they'll be released from the bunker in a couple of hours. Angela doesn't think there's a danger to her, so, why stay down there?

I am beat, though, so I'm going to bed.

HumanBean, you around?

 

[HumanBean]

HumanBean, you around?

Busy. Tomorrow.

 

[HumanBean]

Hey, all! I'm back. (Imagine that as coming from the terminator. No, I guess that was "I'll be back". "I'm back" was from the end of Independence Day. Loved that! )

Sorry about yesterday. It was a horrible day. Won't go into specifics; personal.

Anyway, I don't know if Clark's post needs a response, but TWA, you are welcome to post one.

I'm going to write one for James in Australia in a moment. Then Liam in Colorado. Then Billy in Africa. They will be short.

Korea is exciting. Can't wait to see what happens, Annie.

 

[AnnieBloom]

Korea is exciting. Can't wait to see what happens, Annie.

I'm writing a post now. Just FYI, so that the two of you know what to plan for your own characters, South Korea is, in fact, going to invade the north. For the most part, the North Korean armies will try to resist. But without armor, artillery, and aircraft, they're easily overwhelmed.

Sound good? Any questions, comments, concerns?

 

[AnnieBloom]

I should have asked: are you both okay with me doing another time jump? 6 days? Actually, it doesn't have to be a time jump. I can write it like "this is what WILL happen over the next 6 days", allowing our other characters to post for any of those days.

Whatcha think, guys?

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

either is fine. been writing for my other threads. will have a post for Aliana while the VP is in Floria soon. i hope.
