Man, I loved City. I especially loved the Rachel/Joseph moments in the thread...they were so cute. I wish we got to finish it properly.

Yeah, in retrospect, it's a bummer that they never met in any of the threads afterward before Joe finally went home. I suppose I could bring that version of him back in Adventure, but so much has changed that it'd be more or less vanity writing. Plus it's a little too straightforward, and Joseph himself is far too young and untroubled to get such a happy ending. evil grin

And all that being said, given the nature of the threads, it was sadly never going to work out.

Meanwhile, my strongest memory of City is all the dick-waving I did with Uffern. I'm not proud of that.

I did enjoy continuing Rachel's and Joseph's relationship at the time, but as it stands a lot has apparently changed on Joseph's end and Rachel's story isn't likely to get written any time soon, both because I'm a lazy unmotivated pig and because my interests have changed a bit and there's other stories I'd rather work on and have a better chance at becoming reality.

I... think I kinda actually shipped Rachel and Joseph, which is super weird for me. But it's been a long time so I could be remembering things wrong.

Still shopping around for a good place to join Adventure. I'd also like to here from Will and Blackfire if they're still participating in Space Liner or not.

[up]You are the actual worst.

They were surprisingly well matched. Enough similarities to give them a special sort of connection, but enough differences to keep their interactions interesting, for them to learn from one another, and to keep them from being insensitive towards each other, as one can sometimes be with themselves.

It's the sort of relationship I don't think I could very well replicate in his home setting without the introduction of some seriously contrived new character.

I know I'm holding a lot of people up, meatspace and other obligations keeping me busy, but I should have something for everyone this week. Alice has a lot to deal with, and Chaudhari's squad is presently intrinsically linked to the orders she gives for the situation, so Koyel, Layi, and Gabriel will come first.

nrjxll, at this point, I recommend the bulletin board.

[up]Will, in that case, could you move your Space Liner characters to the Inactive Characters folder on the Space Liner page?

[down] Hear, hear!


OK, how did I not think of this sooner? What if Rosalind looks at the menu again and mistakes a Bloody Mary alcoholic drink for a secret code to feed vampires? Realizing her mistake the hard way would result in a funny Spit Take.

That bit with the 'dog' was fun! Gotta say the CDTs make it a lot easier to cope with not having the opportunity to play and/or GM any RPGs lately. It's like simultaneously being player and GM with all the attendant unexpected twists of a decent game between intelligent - and rather warped - people.

Alrighty this next one seems like it's going to be a little lengthy, I'll get to it tomorrow night. Fine-needle aspiration procedures tomorrow, need the sleep.

Edit: Also figured out what Sindar looks like, this could get...interesting considering he looks like something out of the weald if you squint.

So BTW, are the current characters and locations on the Adventure page up to date?

[up][up] It Makes Sense in Context [lol]

[up] As far as I can tell, the locations at which my characters are participating are now correct. I'm not sure about Parthenia, Carpenter Squad etc as I'm not sure if they are in or out of the Town Hall. Haven't heard from Jean or Henry for ages, so not sure if the Notice Board listing is correct.

[up]Far as I can tell, Jean and Henry are still with the hotel group - though all they did so far was either react to the battle or follow Alice in, respectively.

So I won't be posting today at all, unfortunately... because guess whose birthday it is today. (Though if you go by my user title, it should be a death day, shouldn't it?) So y'know, will probably be off doing fun stuff (read: going to work and then performing at an open mic).

There are worse things than working on your birthday - like some of the reasons I've experienced for not being able to work on your birthday. Enjoy the Open Mic night.
