x_projectYes, it's the love meme! Isa and I have been talking about posting it and finally talk has become action! Here's the drill: every player has a comment below for folks to leave love. It doesn't have to be words, gifs are also good. We're going backwards to distribute the love evenly (people get worn out by the end of the alphabet, so lets start with them this time!).
We've also included links to the player's wiki page and their character's logs, so you can take a refresh peek at what they've been doing. We'll also link to the individual threads from the player pages, so you can go back later and bask when you need it.
No negativity - if you can't say something positive, don't say anything at all, as the saying goes. ;)
If for any reason you'd rather not be included ping Isa or I and we'll quietly remove your thread. Or, if giving feedback publicly is a bit much, you can email the person directly (email addies are available on the player pages).
No time limits - do your best and no love is too small!
(Thanks Walks for these!)
Five words or a gif you think of when you think of this player.

Three random things you'd love to see this person's characters do.
You and this player can travel anywhere in the world. Where would you take them?
What's the first log or character moment that pops into your mind when you think about this player?

Date: 2022-09-01 08:09 pm (UTC)"So then what does the CIA use to assassinate the democratically elected leaders of low-income countries who stand in the way of American capitalistic-imperial expansion?"
"Generals of their military is the preferred method. Coups are always better than a direct assassination because you already know what the power structure of the new government will be." He walked over and picked up a tray with a number of pre-loaded clips on it. "Are you ready to try firing it for real?"
Quentin eyed the clips like they were venomous snakes poised to strike, but surprised himself by saying "Yes." He cleared his throat and cocked his head side to side to crack his neck, trying to get back into his "I'm better than all this" act. "And then if the generals don't cooperate, it's just down the line until you find the right corporate-friendly stooge?"
"Not always. There's insurgents, rival political or clerical figures, the odd would be martyr. The problem with assassination is that it is messier than the movies show and getting away clean has a lot of risk. Better to funnel money and resources to someone who will end up doing what you want while providing deniability. Do you want lessons in regime change as well as guns now?" Kevin took the gun from him and slotted in a clip. He held it by the barrel, the grip up so Quentin could only take it back with it pointed at the ground. "So, use the stance and sight down the barrel."
Kevin pressed a button and the typical head and shoulder silhouette target came forward on the overhead track until it was halfway down the range.
"Could be a useful skill set," Quentin answered, smirking, "Next time we need one at home. Could be soon if those genocide-bots ever get up and running." He froze when he turned to the target, standing in proper isosceles stance but with the gun pointed down. The target could be so many things. He imagined the high school bullies who still tormented his nightmares. Tom Logan. Any assortment of politicians. The NYPD officers who had torn through the District X street festival so many years ago. Sabretooth tearing through his teammates. The gaseous demonic form of the Shadow King.
He shouted an unintelligible challenge and fired.
