So the party consists of three scientist and a 15-year old wanna-be rapist?

How exactly does that work?

They seemed to be on some sort of a cruise ship, so I imagine the fifteen year old is that weird kid who always stays in his cabin masturbating on cruise ships.

He's the physicist ._.  He's a wunderkind who got kicked out of his doctoral program due to having a big breakdown, and is now basically on indefinite sabbatical and running around being a jerkass.

It was a cargo vessel, but YES PRETTY MUCH

Well, biologists have animals, engineers have sex toys, but what do physicists have? They have to make do.

... Oh Gooood, that was a terrible joke to make.

I never really understood people bringing things having to do with sex into roleplaying games anyhow. I mean really, that's just ... something I'd rather not imagine  your character/you doing.

Awkward.

So yeah, I can see where Vector is coming from. I've actually had this problem with people before and DM talking to tends to fix it fairly quick. The excuse that "it's in character," can't be a cure all for any inappropriate behavior no matter how terrible (you know what I mean). I mean, molesting prisoners? Really, that's where things are at now? :(

If you're making the other players uncomfortable and their reason for being uncomfortable is reasonable.... Yeah.

Was at Lake Burley Griffin today. Saw a little kid arguing with his mom. It ended with him throwing his Iphone into the lake.
Mom: Those are really expensive you know! Your going to have to wait until your birthday for a new one!
Kid: But that is almost a week away!
Mom: You will just have to use mine in the mean time.

Faith in humanity... Dropping.

Yeah, and earlier today he was talking about how he needed to improve his character's social skills so he could "make the DM give him bitches."  I'm kind of... just, wow.

Feh, it'll take care of itself.

Went to bed after my sleep schedule goin off kilter problem solved at 5am.

I thought, "Hey, I am awake for 23 hours, I'll sleep like a baby and wake up at four or so."

Then I realized, wait. If I was awake longer, then I'd be asleep for longer. So I'm an idiot two times over and now I'm having a sleep deprivation binge.

Damnit, I thought I had it in the bag when I got interviewed for that hospital job. Interview went fantastic, and I waited a week before I left two messages to two important people in the hospital, but I'm just not getting any calls back. Why's it always gotta feel like I just exist by my lonely self in this damn pocket dimension of my miserable life?

I just want my life to start up already, I'm just fucking sick of everything being the same all the time. I just want to get things going.

How are you guys all so deep set into a sleeping pattern? I normally fall asleep between 5pm and 3am! An hour shift isn't that significant...

Then again I have pretty bad normal insomnia always, so not exactly the model of sleeping patterns here.

Dunno how they're managing it. I've just got normal sleeping problems. Went to sleep around 10:30ish, I think. Woke up at 11:50. Spent a couple hours reading, then an hour+ staring at the back of my eyelids. Though daylight saving shift would manage to explain how my brain's registering four hours of fruitlessness when the clock's saying only three or so.

Days like these I really wish I knew how the blue hell those people that just nod off manage it. I only half joke when I say I'd kill to be able to do that :-\

Sometimes I wonder if it's because they actually see blackness behind their eyelids instead of a roiling orgy of color. I mean. It's pretty. But maybe a little distracting, I'unno.

I find the colors useful... You watch them, and soon they form into more recognizable shapes, and eventually you are dreaming.

I don't see colors, I see shapes. Formless things that are melded into form by whatever I'm imagining at the current moment. Usually it's pretty monochrome, though. It's like your imagination in a moody graphic novel style.
