Aine - A New RP Thread (OOC)

[Jedi_Khan]

just checking things around and getting bored at the office.
The company went out of business and I'm just babysitting the place for a few days

Uh, babysitting an office that belongs to a company that no longer exists? Why?

 

[Qyron]

one of the associates is still taking stuff out.
And I'm going to work for another soon (hope) that owns the place.

Um, okay.

Anyways, today is a special day, both locally and nationally.

 

[Qyron]

oh! its 4th of July there. National holiday in US.
What's it about? Independence day?

Yup, the day we declared/gained our independence from the British! Huraah!

Also, the monsoon season has officially begun here where I live. We had our first good ol' thunderstorm of the year that brought the usual five to ten minute rain.

 

[Qyron]

beware of the falling water; water gets things rusty.

Bah, rust. Not a problem. What is a problem is flash flooding. Now that's a problem.

 

[Qyron]

Get a raft.
I know what you mean; we had floods here. Things got pretty nasty.

We don't have flood-floods, we have flash floods. They're worse because you don't see them coming.

 

[Qyron]

Well, we had a flood that took ten minutes to form, when a river jumped from it track and gobbled up a road and an entire neighbourhood Does that classifies into flash flod?

No, not really. Flash floods here are where a normally dry wash suddenly turns into a raging torrent of water several feet deep (deep enough to stop a car in its tracks) in about five minutes.

 

[Qyron]

I understand. You also get the "mirror land" effect there? Its when the ground is so baked that water doesn't infiltrate and spread instead, making a mirror of water.

No, not that I know of, but the flash floods are caused by the ground being so baked, and so much water being dumped on us in so short a period of time, that the water just takes the path of least resistance downhill, instead of soaking in.

 

[Qyron]

were we get that kind of situation the land is mainly flat, so the water just spreads

So, you get flash flood lakes/ponds while we get flash flood rivers. Which is more dangerous, I wonder.

 

[Qyron]

Well, your flash flood rivers are destructive but pretty loud and people notice them. Even if to late.
Our ponds can be deadly; if it rains on a uninhabited area, the water can form a film over a road and turn it into a death trap

Hydroplaning. Some of my peers out here think that it would be cool to have that happen to them; I think them stupid for it. Of course, there has to be enough water on the ground first, which is not likely to happen.

 

[Qyron]

that's it, by I knew it as aquaplaning.
A few millimetres of water are enough to become dangerous.

Yes, but I believe it requires high speeds with sudden braking for hydroplaning to occur. Oh well.

Anyways, it's late. I must be off to bed. Good night.

 

[Qyron]

bye-bye, jedi

 

[Wolfsister]

If anyone is going to take over the thread, I would prefer you, Wolfsister. Of all the people here, you are perhaps the best qualified to run Aine.

Lurkers, present!

Thanks for the good words guys, I appreciate it. But this is QM's baby and I know how I'd feel if anyone had the balls to take over Illusion Vale - I'd castrate them. So... it'll only be a last resort if I take over here.

Anyway, I'll be slowing things down in our RP Qyron. Mainly to give people a chance to 'catch' up and for QM to come back. Anyway, it's still interesting but we'll see.

Don't rush with the post either, I prefer it when you put some thought into things.

 

[Wolfsister]

Hmm.. looks like I just missed Jedi LOL, the time thingy's actually working at the moment so I can see what time you guys posted. Somehow, I think that's really funny

 

[Qyron]

Well, if this thing gets into a coma, I'll think about opening my own.
