Hello, old friend! I'm back from the abyss ... and I finally feel ready to do a type of RP such as this one. If you've not started with anyone else, I'd love to take on two of these characters. I am drawn to the baking friend ... so unless you want that one, I'd claim him/her in a heartbeat. :D I also know enough about computers or space to feel comfortable doing either of those ... 

If you're still open for this, do you have a preference for playing one male and one female or both of the same gender? I'm okay playing male although I'm female, so I'm up for anything. 

Edit: Also - extraordinary way to introduce it. That's what drew me in, then I saw it was you who wrote it and I was all 'Yay! A familiar avatar!"
