hello again, all, read all new posts since I was last here. I am feeling better, my tummy problems are less severe, but I still have a headache. I don't know if I can do any RPing, as my headache moved to the left of my head and now there's greater severity there. Nevertheless, I will try to make at least one post within a few hours from now; it won't be long or too detailed, but certainly better than nothing.

Oh, and past two pages were very funny to read XD

reading through the pages of The Worlds End is hell on my eyes and head.

OK, posted. It look me over an hour to get up one post, and I was unable to reference other users as much as I normally would, but I'm just too sick, sore and headached to do any more. Hopefully, I'll be better tomorrow, but if not, I don't know how much longer I'll be so sick. This is the sickest I've been in quite a long time!

As of this morning, I do, I am about 90% better. Just shovelled some snow off the driveway, and broomed snow off our cars. A little stiff on the shoulders, sometimes have brief headaches, but doing way better for sure. I will attempt to post in APTtS soon.

I keep trying to start my post for APTtS, but the issue is that I can’t see any feasible reason for Bridgett to encourage anyone to jump. Everything I've read so far says that a rational choice would have been to instead send Annie upstairs with the crew - hell, I'd even argue that there's no point jumping in her jumping in the first place.

Most of my judgements were based off the idea that staying aboard would have meant certain death or injury, when in fact Bridgett should know this is not the case.

Here's an idea: if she knows that is not the case, then the people who blew up the ship know it too. If we're operating on the assumption that they are trying to silence all witnesses, then they likely have a team preparing to land on the ground to finish off the survivors while they're still recovering. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

That's what I thought too - but Inferi has made airships out to be pretty sturdy. The fact that they have time to put on these devices is proof that the ship still has some measure of control left, so a safe landing is a possibility.

Meanwhile, jumping into the storm presents it’s own risks – Hypothermic exposure, unfamiliar terrain, a lack of intel about enemy forces and most of all Gareth (who she still thinks is on board). She’d also have to worry about all of this while dragging around a child in tow. Even if she did this to receive the element of surprise, this is a poor situation for either an ambush or an escape.

In other words, from Bridgett's perspective, jumping really serves nobody's best interests.


EDIT: Too many edits.

A few shells shouldn’t breach the integrity of the hull, and if they had the time to make this speech, they were probably still flying on one engine. This meant it was still possible for a safe, albeit uncomfortable landing.


No, what I'm trying to say is that if the goal is to kill all the passengers - which may or may not be a possibility - and the attackers know most of the people will survive the crash, then it would only make sense to have a team waiting on the ground to wipe them out.

I mean, I regretted my decision to jump as well, but ultimately I had to roll with it. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Doesn't mean I won't moan about it. :P
