Short Story: New Year Fireworks

Despite wearing high heeled Louboutins the raven haired woman made no noises when she entered the dimly lit room. There just was the barely notable scratching sound her dogs claws made on the carpeted floor. The door closes automatically behind them, but the roughly dozen people in the room did not noticed it. The all sat in front of several screens each and wore headsets. Everyone of them was in charge of a different part of the military operation they were coordinating and they all wore an expression of panic or shock on their faces.

SWLRP Writing Prompt Week 1

This was originally posted on SWLRP. You can find the writing prompt thread here. If you want to comment, please use the OOC thread. Given the nature of this prompt, it is not considered canon. It took me quite a while to figure out Rovena’s opposite. She is very moderate in der actions so an opposite was hard to find. Until I realized that the main thing about her is that she plans things very well and acts very considerate of the situation.

OOC: My thoughts on the SWL relaunch

Introduction So, we finally have the official announcement of the launch after having known about it for a while from Funcom’s financial reports. It gives us more details, but there still are a lot questions untouched so far. The new name is Secret World Legends or SWL. Make our Community Manager Andy happy and not use the The anymore when referencing the relaunched game opposed to the original TSW. I will try not to speculate too much and base my thought about the relaunch on the facts that we know so far, therefore there will be a lot quotes.

OOC - Contact

I used to keep my contact details only to cabal members but with me not being around in TSW much anymore, I think it is god for them to be out here so you all can stay in touch with me. Feel free to send me friend requests and tell me you are from TSW :) General Contacts: Email: treublatt@gmail.com Hangout: see mail above Skype: rovena.treublatt (very rarely on there, not really using it at all)

The Rovena heritage - Prologue: Anger issues

Scorched Dessert, Egypt - 11th of July, 6:48 PM local time The fierce female warrior ducked just in time to find cover behind a half collapsed stone pillar to avoid the brute force of the explosion ahead of her. Still, a layer of dust and stone rained down on her. A timer popped up in Rovena’s HUD, time the Athenist would need to reload his rocket launcher. She waited a second, drew a deep breath, ready to step out of her cover to eliminate the threat.

I have been thinking about leaving TSW for about half a year for now and today I am making public what a lot of you probably have noticed already. I am leaving TSW. It was not an easy decision. In fact, it has been a really tough one. I loved this community, I loved this game and it has been an incredibly large part of my life for the last 4 years.

Short Story: Still the good guys?

The raven haired woman did not care if the rain or the wind would ruin her business combination.

Short Story: Breakups & Atenists

The cold winter air is biting her skin and up here it was even colder. There were times the German used masks for HALO jumps, not this night. She wanted to feel the pain in her body, hoped it would overcome the pain in her heart. But it did not wok. She had been here about a year ago, the same situation, the same reaction, the same pain. Her HUD glasses warned her, the last gust of wind had taken her off course for a bit and her position was not optima, she was descending too fast.

Recovered?” she asks, quietly. “Mostly. Still a bit shaky.” the Dragon responds, just as quietly. Jessica nods, once, before turning her attention back to the proceedings. “You coming soul-diving, or just playing Operator?” “Operator. And Facilities and Security.

Fixing Rovena's Bee Part 2.2

It takes a little time for the dreamers to dream, though a little faster if any or all are willing to take medication to speed their slumber. The circlets and other sensors apply a slow and steady mix of anima pulses intended to calm and relax them. Jessica refuses the medication, and eyes the circlet with obvious suspicion. Relenting, she sets it across her brow and does her best to smooth her expression into one of concentration.

Something important, something stupid - the right thing

As many of you know, Dr. Sophilia Greyse and I have been seeing each other for quite some time now, but only a few, if any know it has been a bit more than a year now. What started as occasional lovers, sharing the same kinks quickly became a close friendship. And when my previous relationship broke up, we became a couple. Today we want to announce something, that might be considered stupid, given how short we have known each other, and all trouble we have had in the past, but for us it is the right thing to do right now – an important step into the future together.

OOC: Rovena's places

I’m not sure how / if I will post this but it will serve as reference for me when I describe the places in RP. London flat Rovena’s London flat is very close to Temple Hall, reflecting her high rank in the order even if her status with the Order is inactive at the moment. Ingame the house in London at 375,400 is used as location.

Maybe we can even lure Q&A out.” They discussed it briefly, then settled for an upper scale but not too renowned steakhouse. Rovena was wearing her usual grey business combination. The jacket with a phoenix woven into the fabrics pattern, the matching skirt, heels and stockings.

Journal: E001 The guardian angel is no more

Date: Wednesday 2014-12-04 Today was hard. I wanted to tab into your life-feed but you had not taken a HUD with you. You may fool the PG’s with such a tweet but not me Kyle. But I probably needed that. Needed to understand I’m not your Guardian Angel anymore. That I am not this part of your life anymore. Well, this is why I write this journal. I managed to get Sandrijn out to run, or better walk a bit with me.

From the CCTV footage at her targets location over the thermal feed of the modified global hawk in the air to detailed telemetric of her jump. The only sound he heard was her own breathing.

Journal: Preamble

####OOC: The book is a small (A5 sized) leather-bound journal, though on closer inspection it looks more like a refillable journal, the outer done in exquisitely soft and toned hand-stitched pale brown calfhide. The paper is heavy as well, high density and crisp. http://www.aspinaloflondon.com/products/berkeley-lockable-refillable-journal-in-deer-saffiano It is stored at a secret location but Kyle knows where it is. The first page features a large calligraphic title: The Guardian Angel is no more Much smaller it reads:

OOC: TSW Character Meme - Day One - Basics

Some time ago the TSW Character Meme (original tumblr deleted but posts mirrored on TSW-Meme Tumblr ) was a thing in the roleplay community. For those who missed it, it basically is a set of 30 writing tasks that highlight different aspects of your character. I missed out at that time, mostly because I did not feel comfortable to make a lot things public about my characters background after a very bad experience with meta-gaming in the past.
