Alright, it's been a Helluva long time since I've started a roleplay, so here's another one. This idea comes from the fact that I feel more like an office worker than a soldier sometimes as I manage the Army's assets and keep people in line. So, I wondered what it would look like if life in the Army were real, how would it actually look?
Thus, what seems to be the love child of sleep-deprevity, stress, being over-worked, and of course some type of highly addicting drug (possibly 'shrooms) was conceived. Ahem, in anycase, the main premise is the members of the Barton Army doing what they do best.
This has all the elements of our usual guild discussion but in RP format. I intend for this to be largely nonlinear with no plot whatsoever and just members of the Army doing what they do, as I said above. In the rules, however, certain things will be detailed that are still things that will piss me off and get you charged with an infraction if you violate them.
*~RULES
Follow all regular Barton Army RP rules. As a refresher course:
*No Godmodding (Unfortunately, that means I can't repeatedly kill Hammi crying )
*No explicit sexual content
*Follow the main 'premise' (AKA plot) of the RP
*Be literate so other members can understand what you're saying
*Be respectful to other RPers
*No overly and ridiculously explicit language (meaning don't drop the F-bomb 100 times in a row in the same sentence)
*Be realistic in your posts (Don't materialize weapons out of nowhere, etc.)
Just wing it and try to have fun with it.. No RPCs to fill out, no plot to think of, and only the restrictions of the aforementioned rules and the physics of the real world to hold you down. Detail what you would do if the Barton Army literally was your life. With that said, I hereby announce that this RP is open!

((Here's the example of how the RP's going to work))
Colonel Chang Wang of the Barton Army sat in his luxurious Officer's quarter. The one-man law enforcement of the Army and known as the Gestapo by many, it is no surprise that he is a busy man.
After arriving at base, he soon found that his desk was covered completely in medical expense reports, collateral damage reports, and other miscellaneeus paperwork that a former infantryman would never dream of having to do.
In short, he was not in a very happy mood. Chang muttered underneath his breath. "For God's sake... Does the budget even allow for this?!" he asked in the direction of the ceiling, shaking the medical expense reports furiously up at it.

A knock came to the door and moments later the General, Ember Anderson, walked in with a smile. "Hey Sarge." she greeted, using one of his many nicknames. She walked over and sat in a chair in front of his desk. "How goes the work?"

Chang saluted lazily, but with pencil in hand and jabbing himself in the eye with a pencil. His signature shades were lowered as he had attempted to take a look at some piece of paperwork's fingerprint. "Gah!" he yelped as he dropped the pencil and rubbed his eye.
He looked tiredly up at Ember and smiled. "Ya know, I remember when I used to call you that, General." He looks at his desk full of work. "As for work..." He gestured at it in irritation. "How do you think it's going?"
"By the way," he added, "how's my proposal request for an aide de camp coming along?"

Ember laughed a little and she rested her elbows on the desk and her head in her hands. "Getting to old for the job?" she joked. She then sat back and crossed one leg over the other. "Don't worry, we're working on it." she assured him.

He smiled gratefully. "So, Ember, what brings you 'round my office? We usually don't see each other until after hours."

Ember smiled and she lifted up a large brown paper bag. "Thought you might like something other than Mess Hall food." she told him as she set it on his desk.

Chang didn't look up but sniffed the air. He paused. "... Do I smell curly fries?" He looked up at her.

She laughed and nodded. "Yep. Got you your favorite." she said as she leaned back in the chair.

He lunged for the bag and grabbed the bag. Peering inside, he saw not only his prized curly fries and a double bacon cheeseburger. He looked up at her and blinked. He then looked back to the bag again. "Will you marry me?"

Ember laughed again. "Glad you're satisfied." she watched him for a moment as he began to eat his lunch ravenously. "Oh, have you heard that tomorrow's meeting got bumped up to today?" she asked him

Kaiser was walking down the halls, hiding the iPod that he was listening to, thinking of what to do. Hmm... should I climb into the air duct and take a nap for a while, or just look for something else? He sighed and just continued walking.

After hearing what Ember said, he began to choke on a piece of burger and gestured at his throat for help as he thrashed about in his chair.

Ember blinked as she watched him. "Um, you okay?" she asked him as he choked.
