I'm packing for my journey to Seattle. Movers come tomorrow, and I leave Wednesday or Thursday morning. I will lose my internet tomorrow, most likely. It is safe to say I am out unless this waits until April.

Sorry.
If we can get some other interested people, then I know you are able to fire something out quickly and participate. And I would be happy to leave your character be a mystery character that we add later on. How that would work, I'm not sure, but I'm a believer that nothing is impossible.
Take it as easy as you possibly can. I know moving can be stressful, but I think you're going to love Seattle. It's on the coast, and heck, you can drive up to Whistler mountain and go skiing!
I think that this Friday though is enough. If no interest arises by then, we'll have to say that Killer is dead for now.
True words have never been more spoken. And from the look of things, this plane isn't going to take off soon. I hate collaborating. I don't do it. Why? I have my own unique style of writing but more importantly, I don't play well with others.
But having said all this... (only if I'm needed) I'm going to cheat. I'll use my central character for my script "The IceWoman Chronicles."
YOURI NUKIMURA (30s) - our world knows her only as, "The IceWoman." A deadly combination of lethal and sexiness. Hitwoman, assassin, international terrorist. A "rogue," member of JSP. The Japanese Secret Police. The only rules she abides by, Sun Tzu, "The Art Of War."
When she's not out killing, she practices Zen religiously. She has no family and only one friend, a sidekick and their relationship is usually turbulent... so she's "not afraid to fly." She takes many lover's and doesn't discriminate either. And yet, she has only ever truly loved one in her life.
At this moment, she's enroute to carry out a hit and it's personal. Guess what? I just checked her boarding pass and her connecting flight... just happens to be this one.

That's excellent Ghostwriter! The IceWoman sounds very intriguing! I'm sure that a character like this would be an amazing one to watch.
So we have four people so far, half of what we need. Four more by tomorrow? That might be like winning a lottery.
Anyone interested needs to draw up a character bio by midnight this Friday night (March 19) Pacific time.
Have a lovely evening and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Er. I'm just following Sandra's advice to add a character. I'd like to see a Salvador Dali type fella in a script.
I've writtten one with one in. But it was rubbish. Very.
Wiki stuff on the looney tunes that was Dali is here.
Hmm...
Welcome back RV
Thought you jumped off the face of the earth. So your going to play? Good, did you hear that Sandra? RV wants to play. You can slide right into my spot RV.
Er er, do I have to play? I have no idea what I'm doing and this house won't clean itself, sadly. Even the dog is getting sick of the mess. It's beginning to resemble a brew cabin on a building site round here.
Erm. I really must start reading things properly. Doh
I'm just rewriting Take Care. Avoiding the cleaning you see.
Link if above vid fails. This clip reminds me I must be more careful about all that bad language I seem so fond of. Bless you Mrs. Doyle.
Er. If someone PMs me with a few pointers or maybe I should just read this thread. Er, yeah. That might be a good idea. I'll get back to you, shorty. Sorry, shortly. Ahem.
Right. I'm sicka washing fecking dirty dishes. Had a look through and I guess I'll give it a go. Playing games with Sandra. Hmmm. Quiet at the back. Anybody who uses the word 'stalwart' successfully is okay by me.
Alas, I do have to finish the dishes as there's not a clean one in the house. And I'm not eating out of a tin can. Again.
I shall be back on this thread reading more thoroughly tomorrow day.
Oh dear. Forgot to feed the dog. No wonder he's been looking at me strangely.

Excellent to hear! Not that your place is in a state and you're dog is hungry, but that you will participate if this thing flies.
I'll be excited to read the character bio you draw up. Dali's melting clock is to die for. If it had an 11:11 for the time, it would surpass greatness into the great Gadlut of all lesser gadluts. Yes, I have to admit, I admire his work.
Alas, I will be nudging people on here to write on time and reminding them of their turns and such, but I will not be participating in this one as I'm working with Gary and the others who are hanging on because they like punishment and so, I'm concentrating on Thief.
I need time to get some serious reading done in the script department and also my Kabbalah studies take a lot of my time. Whatcha gonna do?
Anyways, the basic premise of this KILLER script. (Love the sound of that! Just think you could all say to an agent, "I've got a KILLER script! Ya wanna have a read?" and you wouldn't be lying!)
So the basic premise is that everyone dies. Sounds like life!!! ...
Oh, there's one exception... One person survives. Who will that be?
Alright then, if, IF, Ghostwriter22 decides to stay in, (and he's already said he hates collaborations; so his presence here will be considered a miracle.) then we now have five famous players.

We still need three people to write up a quick bio and post it here by tomorrow midnight Pacific Time.
Most important reminder to everyone who is thinking of adding their personality to this is:
The game is for you to have fun at the same time as challenge yourselves to work together with others who might, and often do have entirely different styles and approaches to their work.
It's meant to be fun and inspirational. And, in the end, as with anything in life, you will get what you put into it. It might not be what you expected, but you're doing something that is very unique from the standpoint of what's been done in the past.
I'm not speaking about the premise itself, or any character even. What I'm referring to is the way that you will write the script. It's spontaneous, but it's not individually spontaneous. It's collectively spontaneous and the fact that you're working with other minds, in different places, in different times, in different moods... It really is an exciting and different form altogether.
Ah. I think GW has got his coat. I shall be dabbling later today. Midnight in the Pacific? Won't it be wet there and get all rusty? I work on GMT. And Amberleaf.
I'll get me scales out and convert to PST. You lot are well behind so I'll be dandy. Timewise at least.

I think I chose Pacific Time because that's what Moira's on (Well, sometimes.) But I'm on Mountain and the whole shebang can be rather confusing since the world keeps turning and revolving and all.
GMT though, it's a lovely seven hours ahead of Pacific and six hours ahead of me and Mountain Time.
Indeed, Vancouver's a very rainy place, but it's often very nice and it never gets too cold, but the dampness often makes it feel very cold. That's why when people hear of our cold -15 and such here in places like Alberta, they shiver, but it's not too bad unless it's windy.
As long as you dress in layers and there's not a lot of wind, the cold isn't too bad.
Back when I lived in Prince George, I remember walking out in -40 when I was pregnant. Maybe it was because I was pregnant, (I always felt really good when I was pregnant ) but I remember it didn't feel so bad.
Like I said, it's the wind and the dampness that do it to people I think.
Generally speaking, I think we're pretty good up to -20 with sunshine and no wind, after that then yes, it can get to be a bit much.
March has been a good month for us though. Very nice!!!
Anyways, back on track...
If you want to add yourself into the mayhem here. And I can promise you mayhem. Te-he Then think up a cool character and post as some of the others have above in this thread.

You're back in full form Rv. The last 24 hours you've been catching up on your post. So apparently, you must have all your house cleaning done. Good. I would ask you to come up with a bio for your character... but I think this flight will be delayed.
Oh, Salvador Dali... I just happen to have a scene with one in a script. Did you know, he was a sadist?
Sandra, it doesn't look good. Maybe you'll might want to delay this until later on.
By the way, the next episode. How long do we have too wait. You know Rv...
