Oh come on, SH, you know you want a Twilight tattoo: [link]um. ah. They do know the forever-ness of tattoos? Right? Oh god. And this is why teenagers should NOT be allowed to get tattoos.

That's just what I was thinking. I'm so glad my "I am such a hardcore punk I cut myself" scars from the 80s are barely noticeable.
Plus, some of those looked pretty expensive. And while I actually do like the book covers, I think about, oh, getting a tattoo of a Piers Anthony cover or whatever I was reading at that age and shudder.
(OK, it would've been art from the red or blue D&D)
(but that just makes my point)

I'm awake now, and will note first that you have full freedom to do with an XO whatever you deem best. While I can work out what you're doing here, to avoid confusion it would be best that you announce your Move and Action, rather than just stating that you play an interrupt. (Plays of interrupts are public too, so you should state its value - in this case, Boomer plays a Purple 3.)
Anyway. Let's see whether the gods have heard your pleas.
Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Lose 1 Population.
The gods have heard your pleas! They've taped them and play them for big laughs at all their god parties. Admiral Valerii, I am sending you a choice of two destinations. Please advise which one you choose for the Fleet.
That will conclude Staff Sgt Adama's turn. President Roslin, I'm sending you your cards. Once the Admiral has posted the Fleet's new destination, and when you're ready, please post your action.
OOC:

I so want to use that as a .sig file.
See new tag.

I discard down to 10 cards by discarding a Purple 1.

Hello men & women of the fleet, this is Acting Admiral Valerii. In order to clear ourselves from a hostile area, we fired up the FTL, and got a jump a little sooner than we expected. We thought we got everyone. I'm sad to say, one of the FTL units did not work properly, and it looks like the Olympic Carrier did not make the jump. At this time, we do not know if it was a malfunction, or sabotage. At this time, we do not know the fate of the souls on board, but fear the worst. Memorial service will be held at 1800. At this time, we have traveled 2 light years. It did burn 2 fuels and we are orbiting a barren planet. The bad news is, there is nothing to harvest from the planet. The good news is, at this time, no toasters in sight. Hear me now. We are 2 steps closer to home. 2 steps closer to Earth. 2 steps closer to safety. We must stay together, not bicker amongst ourselves, and defend from any Cylons that come in range. May the gods watch out for us, and keep the area clear. That is all."

Administrative note: Roslin's card draw exhausted both the Yellow and the Green decks. I've reshuffled the discards. There were a total of 2 Green discards; the Green deck currently consists of exactly two cards.
If we should run out of Green cards, Cylons will no longer be able to apply for permanent residency anyone who is slated to draw Green will miss out, and the Destiny Deck will likewise be formed without Green cards if it needs replenishing.
