Thinking out loud

Avery Rackell, deceased, was in a high ranking management position, within the corporatocracy of MOW. He married a co-worker, Tayla Sarez, and had two children, Brianna and Asuka, both daughters, with her. When the children were 5 and 1 Tayla’s parent’s decreed their three children, spouses and various grandchildren should all become freelancers and join the Organisation, an anti-MOW ‘criminal’ organisation. Avery declined the move and tried to convince his wife to do the same. However loyalty to her family overcame loyalty to him and she tried to take both the children with her. In the end Tayla only partly succeeded and left with Brianna, the older of the girls, leaving Asuka in her father’s care.

Asuka was brought up by a wet nurse and a nanny until the age of 8 when her father attained the position he held until his death, and they moved from Devocha, Mars, to London, Earth. She had no knowledge of having a mother or sister until a series of events when she was 25 and she returned to Devocha after her Father’s death a year previous to collect on her inheritance. It was at this time her lawyer revealed their existence, at the late Avery’s request, and the existence of an apartment in New York she was previously unaware of. In the apartment she found a message from her father…

why would he have kept this a secret for so long, and why would he not tell her outright in the message what occurred? Did Avery kill Tayla, either by mistake or design? he would be capable of such an act in the heat of passion. Was he embarrassed at Tayla’s lack of loyalty to him, or her apparent philosophies? In the message Avery points Asuka towards MOW’s archives for explanations, is he afraid someone other than her will find the info and use it against her? Or could he have hidden the truth someplace else if this was the case. Where in the hell does Jarett Tepper, the father of Gurn her business partner, who is apparently a MOW deep cover operative, fit in to this, and how does he know her parents?

Christmas Is Coming

As I mentioned before, nano is now over (boo :( ) but this does mean I finally have time for a bunch of other exciting projects. Namely G3show! Yes, our radio show is still going and not only that, it’s thriving. We’ve gone from roughly 5-10 wishy-washy listeners to about 20 regulars, most of whom I can recall their names. Now this might not sound like a lot, but it means a great deal to us. As well as our listener base going up, we have a more perminent home for the show curtosy of my brother. A little while ago Lorcian and Crace moved out of the North Rd flat and into a really nice flat along Mount Pleasnt rd, that has the advantage of being huge, and with The Rat’s help build a spanking new studio with chairs and everything (the g3 show, now with less back pain!). I think we’re all really pleased whith how well it’s taken off, esspecially in such a short time (come febuary we’ll have been going a year). We’ve made stickers and christmas cards, had people make us sweepers. We have web presence in every major way (website, facebook, twitter), and just recently installed webcams in the studio. So what’s next? Well t-shirts are defiantly in the pipeline. More vauge ideas include having some sort of presence at Bar Camp Bournemouth, some kind of g3 lan party or other convention, acutioning off the proof version of the christmas card, with the proceeds going to TGR and maybe a cafepress store, again with profits going to TGR.

And so to christmas.
