Well, I wrote Lauren
tried to catch up with Alex (because she seems to be the only one who realizes the danger of the situation atm.) but that wuold depend on a) how fast/far ahead Alex is (BadgeAddict's decision) and how soon she saw him leave/how fast SHE can move in this clumsy new body. (Ok, so the body is NOT clumsy, but she is not used to it, and that makes it act clumsy.
) Which would be the GM's decision.
I also wrote (as a parameter to help make decision) that she was adverse to leaving the packs' sight, and that in THIS case, she would turn back, as not put herself to risk, too.
From what I have seen posted in the main thread, I guess Lauren did turn back to the pack (and while I am kind of glad that she did, from what I am reading there, wouldn't it have been WAY cooler, if she had managed to get to Alex and convince him to turn back in time, that way kind of saving his life?
) and is now being addressed by Doug, too. Is that correct/cannon, should I write from there?
I think I understand what you are saying about instinct triggers, but Lauren DID react upon the one she got, as much as she could be expected to in the current situation. She's completely new, both to the pack and to the situation AND on top of that her own body. She doesn't know she can trust it yet, and she certainly isn't too happy risking her own credibility on the - to her - crazy impulses it gives her.
Still, the adrenalin rush made her she speak up, so the more experienced raptors could deal with the situation, if need may be, and they completely ignored it, which kind of gave her the impression that she was probably imagining things.
I'm not cross about anyone ignoring Lauren or what was written by me. It's bound to happen with these walls of text and all that. I just wanted to know if this was IC or OOC ignorance that was happening.
And yeah, I figured that Sam would be a bit distracted by his new gender.
EDIT: ok, how about people posting (their char's names and speech) in a color similar to their raptor's coloring? I think it would help my process of sorting all the dinos to their respective players and names and personalities and whatnot along MUCH FASTER.
IIRC, Lauren is sporting some sort of (brown and) green, so I would probably pick
this color for her. Would that be ok with everyone, especially the GM?
