This is Argilla, of the Embryon. Leave a message, and I'll try to get back in contact with you as soon as possible.

-BEEP!-

((Just leave me a note on whether this is IC or OOC contact!))

totally OOC

I just had another idea for a future dream post, and wanted to check with you on something before posting it, perhaps plot a bit.

First -- does your Argilla have the nurse's data in her?

[avorelanche]

Well, I think the best answer to that is no, she doesn't currently. I want to eventually do some events, apply some phlebotinum, and fudge around with the concept of Atma=Atman=Microcosm for God and THEN give her some data.

But, at the moment, she's a bit on the nurseless side!

[justwantsafety]

...might be quicker to figure this out on aim or something, if that's all right by you...?

[avorelanche]

I'm sorry, but that could take some time to get arranged. I have a full weekend right now, and when I can get online during this weekend, I don't think I'll be in much shape for plotting. So, IM would need to wait for a couple of days unfortunately.

[justwantsafety]

Weekend plans just came up for me too. Hm.

Never mind the real-time sorting out, then, I guess.

So anyway, If your Argilla doesn't have the nurse's data, then nothing anyone does with the nurse, in backstory stuff, will really have any sort of effect on your Argilla, will it?

[avorelanche]

Incorret! I'm selfish, so I consider Nurse Argilla to be important to my RP as well. So I would get offended if her backstory was altered without talking about with me.

Besides, I want to eventually incorporate it. Key words here being eventually; like I said, I want to mess around with concept of Atman, and how it relates to a higher, cosmic conscious, and all that juicy Hindu stuff.

[justwantsafety]

But you just said she's nurseless.

So is this a case of having it but not recalling it yet for whatever reason, or a case of them being two separate people, as I take Serph and Sheffield to be?

[avorelanche]

I did.

As far as the timeline goes, Junkyard was created long before the accident ever happened, Sera had a meltdown, and the sun went black. Argilla had been repurposed and was fighting before the fecal matter ever hit the fan. So, the timeframe for inheriting the data doesn't match up. But, since I enjoy the idea of past life baggage and the like, I do want to eventually get to a point where some plot happens, allowing her to inherit at least some of that data from the real world, although probably not all of it.

[justwantsafety]

So, what's your nurse's past work history? Where's she been stationed, what kind of duties...?

[avorelanche]

Well, the rough timeline that I have for N. Argilla is that she was born and lived somewhere in the Northwestern area of the U.S. Haven't narrowed down to which area exactly, yet. I figure that with the wave of solar-corruption related endemics running around (although no one knowing the cause, yet) she developed an interest in medicine around high school or so; she might have even been born with a minor, but correctable defect, to strengthen that tie.

And pass that, she did well enough to warrant a stationing in the Cyber Shaman project. Get the feeling it's not something that you just get handed without much consideration; if memory serves, Sheffield and O'Brian were in the Ivy League. I've got a cousin getting her nursing degree, so I want to ask her more about that sometime, to get some more ideas.

[justwantsafety]

So in other words, she'd pretty much have gone from medical school to the project? She didn't get hired anywhere else first?

[avorelanche]

Maybe; I like keeping things fluid with backstory, so it could be that she did really well as an intern, OR that she did some work in a few places before getting an offer to join the project. Depends on what other people want to do with it, mainly.

[justwantsafety]

hold on, I just got reminded--

wasn't the nurse still stuck on the Sun because she couldn't move past the "I had to do it" fooling-herself logic, and the party simply left her there? I don't recall ever being able to kick her butt to make her move on, to be available for any form of reincarnation.

[avorelanche]

Please stop deleting and reposting your comments? It's difficult to keep track of, and is really cluttering the inbox as well. Thanks.

And yep, her data is encountered on the sun. That's part of the separation I'm hoping to address, along with the events for that exchange of data not quite matching up.

[justwantsafety]

I don't suppose I can ask about how inheriting someone else's data so long after she's already been made would even work? Sorry, but I guess I'm still stuck on that point.

[avorelanche]

No, you can ask. And my answer is that works out of rule of fun. It also works as a decent compromise with my other RP partner, and gives me the option to have my pretend cake and eat it too.

Also, for me it's not much of a stretch with Atma being a fragment/data/component of god, and thus connected to the samsara stream.
