No problem.

I'm sorry about pushing Monroe's character so hard, but so far there's no way Blackstar would hire someone acting like a drunk. Just trying to stay in character and all that.

I was actually wondering what you'd do.

Of course you probably could use a couple simply big strong crewman (at the least for handling cargo). And he does have a fun character.

But I can see being leery about having a lot of fights on your ship.

Especially since the rest of your old crew doesn't seem to be too worried about blasting through bulkheads when the situation calls for it.

Although strength isn't exactly the only thing you're looking for in a crewman, sometimes having a crewmember who looks like they can break you in half by accident can be useful.

Well, I'd be a bit leery if Mr. "looks like he can break something half" thinks he can break something in half, and starts a fight by breaking something in half, it could turn very bad. Like, if he started doing the good cop bad cop thing and the other guys don't like him doing that and a fight breaks out. That could be very bad. There are things like, paying for any damage to bars he's started fights in, or innocents getting hurt. That could be very bad publicity for a 'ligit frieghter', where reputation is very important.

While Monroe's character is fun, he still has to do something to get himself hired. How Bossk reacts to Blackstar's rejection will determine if he gets hired, or has to figure another way on board, like being a stowaway or asking someone to put in a good word. An example of a possible way would be like: starts barfight, gets put in the stations brig, somehow gets out, possibly with help from a friend who owes him a favor, then he stows away on the Pride and doesn't get discovered till it leaves because the internal sensors in an area have failed(accidently) and there's little the captain can do about it once they leave.

Hmm, maybe myself and Bossk have done business before, and I could put in a good word for him? That might convince you to hire him, and will also introduce my character, which I'm currently looking for an opening for.

Or maybe you could step in and stop him from what he might do next.
(For example maybe you could step in and point out that while naturally rambunctious if you put in his contract not to cause fights he's highly reliable).

Sionnach Glic · Post by **Sionnach Glic** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 5:50 pm

Yeah, that could also work. Perhaps Bossk interprets Blackstar's words as a challenge, or something, and I step in to try to calm things down?

sunnyside · Post by **sunnyside** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 5:58 pm

If Monroe is OK with it I think that would be a good idea. From what I know of his character so far I would see his next post as either being divergent from how he likes to play his character(sheepishly walking off) or the start of a trainwreck (No, really, great fighter. Look! *smash* *crash*).

Being dedicated to a contract or orders or something could let him keep his "playful" tendincies, but not make Blackstar look stupid for bringing him on.

Monroe · Post by **Monroe** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 6:51 pm

Rochey feel free to interrupt my character. He's going to interruperate it as a challenge and start that fight with those Klingons.

Sionnach Glic · Post by **Sionnach Glic** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 6:53 pm

Okay, cool.
Hmm, any ideas on how I'm going to stop a rampaging Gorn?

You could add in a little more drama....stun him, miss and cause an overload in the SIF Field....Then everyone can make a mad dash for the ship....Just a thought...

Sionnach Glic · Post by **Sionnach Glic** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 7:00 pm

Well, there's a bit of a problem with that.
A) I'm not carrying any weapons that have a stun setting.
B) That'd probably be a bit out of character, Sekhot is a fair bit more cautious than that.
C) That would leave Cech's and my own ships left behind on the station.

Monroe · Post by **Monroe** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 7:00 pm

But Gorn are slow aren't they?
