REASONS WHY LIFE HATES ME, number 739.ii.a.

It decided that internet is a Bad Thing. In fact, life being what it is, it decided to send us JUST enough snow to cut off my village. Just my village. Nobody else's (that I know of). Just mine. Because life hates me. :x

Anyhoo, this is just a little note to explain this to you. That's why I haven't replied to tags lately.

ALSO. Not-hiatus post; I have exams in January. I need As. I have Cs and Ds. Revision is necessary, so slowing down will happen.

...I think that covers all bases?

I AM DOING A NINJA WARRIOR POST.

There will be a four-stage obstacle course for your character to make it through. It is a test of strength, speed, and endurance. It will be a one-post deal, but will run for quite some time so whoever wants to sign up can. I'll run it for as long as it takes and then probably do another post with the winners so you can all gloat. I EXPECT YOU ALL TO BE REALISTIC. And feel free to force your characters to participate even if they would fail miserably.

What I want from you: anyone who would like to participate needs to comment to this post with an INTRODUCTION for your character. A basic, 'this is what they do for a living, these are their strengths' type thing for the 'announcer' to give you when you start the obstacle course. Comments are screened over there so the introductions will be a surprise. DO NOT COMMENT TO THIS POST WITH YOUR INTROS.

The tasks will be randomized for each stage according to official Ninja Warrior tasks.

Put it up tonight y/n?

edit: If anyone would like to offer a pretty lady/handsome man as a prize, please let me know!

[in a VERY SECLUDED* area of camp, there is a lizard-teen studiously looking at a book.

Eventually, he sets the book down, takes a few steps away from it, and begins the monologue]

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die...

[he's quite good, actually]

[*not nearly as secluded as he thinks]

((I will be here all day or as long as my connection can hold on, whichever comes first))

[in the woods you might hear a ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAR

and then a thin, bedraggled looking boy walking out of said woods]

[nothing suspicious here at all]

((details are here. Expect falling spoilers. EDIT I'M OUT))

*crossdressing male gorillas are in this post. and they are doing a striptease FOR YOU and also for the dorky guy wearing the party hat*

P-Please no! I don't want to pour sugar on you!

[Since ancient times the first dark nights of Winter have typically been greeted with some manner of celebratory observance, and even while such traditions grow and evolve to better fit contemporary mores, there's usually someone willing to do things the old-fashioned way, just for the Hel of it.

Often this involves the time-honored combination of fire and alcohol and, before the night is through, the resulting bad judgment that frequently accompanies the combination of fire and alcohol. As Thor happens to be one such traditional soul, tonight might be marked with a few unique particularities, including copious amounts of mead and, for good measure, setting a giant, straw-covered wooden goat on fire.

Tradition is a funny thing sometimes. But the music wasn't his idea.]

... mayhaps I should have built it larger...



((Backdated to some ill-defined Solstice-y time before IRL holidays ate me alive~))

Hey guys!

We're going down to see my parents this week (Dec 27-Jan 3) and while we may try to steal onto our laptops for ninja play (assuming our laptops function, which is a surprisingly big assumption) we're gonna be on hiatus. So that's me with Umeda, Riku Replica, Heat, Sakubo, Sahashi Minato, Hakkai, Soubi, and Tsukihiko, and Zazzle with Allen, Axel, Yuki Sohma, Ritsuka, Miharu, Kagari, and Shizumasa.

SERIOUS POLL as I have been playing Sims 3: What five traits and one lifetime goal would your characters have in the Sims 3? List is here.

[as you're trudging through the snow today, you may notice a girl(?) hanging off the arm of a certain oak as they head towards the churchshack. this isn't awkward at all.]

Senpai doesn't live alone, right?

[ BACKDATED TO THE 25TH datepostthing for shuri and benio! come bother them. ]

Apologies to anyone I'm surprising with this, but I am dropping Graham! He's the character who brought me into camp, and I've loved everything I've done with him, but I haven't played him in a month and a half and haven't done anything new with him in a lot longer. I have decided that my desire to hang on to him is outweighed by my desire to not give LJ money for nothing, as well as the happy feeling of having a lineup only composed of people I actually play.

So he's heading home to do... whatever it is that Graham does. If anyone wants a drop post/thread, let me know and I'll do that in the next few days before his account expires!

That leaves me with four - Medusa/Soul/Raven/Perscitia - for those following along at home.
What will people call me now, my remaining characters all have Mary Sue names. :|a

This has been coming for a while. As much as I love Toki, his castmates, and the friends he's made in camp, I just don't get him out anymore. IT'S TIME.

Thanks for playing with him. It's been a wonderful, wonderful, awesome two years and that's a record length for me keeping a character, aaah! ♥

[Somewhere in your vicinity is a girl at booth attempting to repair a sign:

RETURN UNWANTED GIFTS HERE!
Ask me about magic boobsquish hugs!]

If I fix it, the Director won't be upset, will she?


[[ooc: Intro post for Sakura. Workninjaing, so there might be some slowness~ At home!

Open forever, feel free to mingle, trade gifts, etc.!]]

A swamp? I can't be that lost.

((OOC: Hughes is younger! IT IS A POST-CHRISTMAS MIRACLE))

SAD NEWS FOLKS Anya and Dimitri (princesstopsyou ) went home for a Christmas honeymoon. Thanks for putting up with us playing them, because despite wanting to do more and them being our SOUL ANIMALS (or perhaps even due to that) we both feel justice wasn't done.

♥

To make this less awkward! Serious poll:

Your character's MR/MRS RIGHT what/who is it?

[Hiroki is sitting bundled up in the mess hall, as far away from holiday cheer as possible, with a blank pad of paper and a pen. There are a couple balled up pieces of paper beside him, and he's staring grumpily around while he mutters to himself.]

What the hell... It can't be that hard! I've written a dissertation, I can handle a stupid letter.

(OOC: For those who aren't all that fond of the holidays, or are missing loved ones. I'll be here but mingle too~)

[itp a christmas tree is on fire and probably has nothing to do with the kind of grumpy looking guy in a toga. Maybe.]

(ooc: GOD OUT)

If Sanji knows you, he made you food for Christmas.

Girls got assorted cookies (sugar cookies, chocolate chip, oatmeal + chocolate + peanutbutter) and a jar of hot chocolate mix, guys only got the jar of hot chocolate mix.

For the guys the jar is plain and labled, for the girls, both the plate and the jars are likely lavishly decorated with ribbons.

I SUCK and have not put any thought at all into "what my characters would get yours" and it seems overwhelming. SO INSTEAD:

If you are a friend of Umeda, Riku Replica, Heat, Sakubo, Sahashi Minato, Hakkai, Soubi, or Tsukihiko (hi Benio I think you're the only one on his list lol) assume you get something thoughtful and/or horrible.
