A click here, a click there, scroll down, scroll back up and Boris had found what he had suspected all along.  The trio of enquiring female members were not only followers of Pierre (since he did reveal to Boris his username:<i>Mystical Mayhem</i>), but he followed them as well.  Although he had no qualms about roleplaying with any or all of them, he wished to get his feet wet with<i>GhostWriter</i>first.  See how that transpired, and then perhaps write with more partners.<br/><br/>Boris typed up one message, which he would eventually copy and paste to the three would-be partners:<i>Empress Impulse, Shadow Queen, </i>and<i>Peaches.  </i>He explained how he was a newbie on the site, though not necessarily to roleplaying.  It was the subject matter of<i>Innocent Innuendos</i>, he freely admitted, that was the cause of mild anxiety.  Although he didn’t owe them anything, he thought it best to let them know about his imminent RP with<i>GhostWriter.  </i>Once that was under way (and assuming it went well), he would gladly be back in contact with them to toss around story ideas.  He couldn’t help but notice, however, that they all had an f-list.  Worried?  Pah!  Not yet, anyway.<br/><br/>Messages sent along their merry way, Boris now focused on<i>GhostWriter’s </i>response.  So cool, he thought, as she was agreeable to an<i>Alien-</i>based RP while also eliminating the bad-ass Yautja from their story.  She asked good, pertinent questions, too.  Her mention of a profile summary stood out like an angry poltergeist.  He wondered if that was the same thing as a character card or character sheet.  Either way, he absolutely despised them, recalling (and not too fondly) how some partners from other RP sites had insisted on their inclusion.  Boris wished to address that first and foremost.<br/><br/><i>Hello GhostWriter,</i><br/><br/><i>By profile summary, is that the same thing as a character card or sheet?  If so, I apologize, but I’m a lazy git when it comes to those things.  Too much like hard work.  lol  I’d just as soon leave those out, if it’s all the same to you.  That said, I will acquiesce if you really, really want one.</i><br/><br/><i>As for their ages, I’m thinking anything within the range of mid- to late-20s, to early 30s.  I figure we can come up with names once we decide on our characters and their position/occupation.  Which leads into the perfect segue.  lol  </i><br/><br/>Meanwhile, the three women had replied to his message within a half hour.  Surprisingly, all three were receptive and agreed to his comments.  Even more surprisingly, Boris received three alerts, announcing that the trio were now following him.  Sighing with a shake of his head, he in turn followed them.  Would be rude not to, in his opinion.  He grinned as this brief diversion took him away from<i>GhostWriter.  </i>To continue:<br/><br/><i>Not sure about you, but I think there are quite a few roles for us to choose from.  There’s organized military (like the Marines from the movies), mercenaries, scientific as well as medical staff, and let’s not forget employees of </i>Weyland-Yutani.<i>There’s also a mining or excavation crew to consider.  They’d be the hapless saps to uncover the eggs in the first place.  lol  Just one thing, please: No AI as a main character.  Well, no AI like that prick Ash from the first movie!  Remember that back-stabbing asshole?!  lol  Maybe a Bishop-type from the second flick.  An AI could be a secondary character or not included at all.  I’m easy, but not free.  ;)</i><br/><br/><i>Well, that’s what I got so far.  Looking forward to your thoughts on this, GhostWriter.</i><br/><br/><i>CU When ICU,</i><br/><br/><i>47</i><br/><br/>A click on POST REPLY and Boris reckoned he had some reading to do.  He was curious to see for himself the individual writing styles of<i>Empress Impulse, Shadow Queen, </i>and<i>Peaches.</i>
