[OOC] Pieces of 8

[DotCom]

I should be able to post by tomorrow night. It's looking like it might be a scary-huge post, and since exactly none of it (well, maybe ~10%) will have to do with the plot at hand, I think I'll type up a summary and throw the rest in a hider.

[LimeyPanda]

I'm nearly finished with the Jay-Jay post. I was battling with how I explain her Sofa position and why she didn't attend the important shit: but I figured something out.

[Igraine]

I think I can speak for most everyone here Dot - and I will anyway, and if they don't like it we can have words later: you don't have a reason in the world to hide a single word under a hider. You're a fantastic writer, and reading your posts - no matter their length - is NEVER a chore, not ever. So don't put a hider on a single thing there, not for us! Everyone knows your portion is by necessity going to be disconnected from what's going on in the grand room, so it's perfectly understandable if your post doesn't mesh perfectly in relation to ongoing drama in the grand room at all.

And great post Panda, so glad you were able to meld just finding us again with a wonderful reason for Jay-Jay and the demoness to roll into the midst of everything that's gone on.

[DotCom]

Oh, thanks, Grainy, you are just the best. Which I'm sure I've said before, verbatim, but only because it's true.

That said, it's going to be another day or so on the post. A friend of the family passed away this morning, and while it doesn't affect me personally (I hate to make drama excuses, or "dramscuses" as they're more colloquially known), it does make writing about death seem...a little macabre. So, I'll reroute that timeline and say it'll be out for you wonderful people by Friday. I hope I'm not holding anything up...again.

[LimeyPanda]

As always Dot, we encourage you to put real-life before RPing. We want you at your best, and we all await the next post with eager smiles and held breath.

[Igraine]

Honestly Dot, it wouldn't matter if you were holding things up 'again' (though you're not), because frankly RP's just not that important in the face of someone really passing away. Even if it doesn't affect you personally, it's certainly going to affect the ones you love, so take the time you need to be with them as best you can *hugs*

[Igraine]

Good morning all! Just wanted to hop in and wish everyone a grand and beautiful day, and see what everyone's up to, how you're doing! Shamelessly at that, and with a double post no less! ;)

[LimeyPanda]

I'm feeling quite good today. Which is a nice change: I have the rest if the evening to myself and I have nice lessons tomorrow morning, which is a bonus. Might try getting more writing done... Like...productivity man!

[Lillian Thorne]

I am well, home for a little before I head off to my first class of the year! Just made myself a Latte and am about to write up a lovely little 1x1 post.

[Clumsywordsmith]

It was a fine day -- for a Wednesday; then an 'accidental' detour to the liquor store has gradually turned it into an excellent day, and by the time I fall asleep it will have probably attained the recognition of being a 'good' day. Though, there is the one small caveat that I feel inspired to write with nothing to write about... soo... I suppose I'll put the inspiration on hold for a little while.

[Lillian Thorne]

I love the way you phrased that, Mr. Wordsmith! I hope you get your excellent day.

[Igraine]

May we all accidentally detour into an excellent day Wordsmith, alcohol-facilitated or no - well, some bright day at least! ;)

And I just heard from our beloved, cat-herding and very-much-missed GM. An immediate family member has been hospitalized this week, and obviously there's priorities out there. He's hoping to be back by Saturday to do some writing if possible.

But until then of course, all prayers and well wishes and all manner of good thoughts to you and yours, Heroes.

[Igraine]

Hello there everyone - I know it's been some days, and I just wanted to drop a line here, check in with everyone and see how you're all doing, what everyone's up to? Been buried under lots of school stuff here, but I've missed hearing from our little company. And if life is kind, hopefully Heroes will be back today, which would be fantastic.

[DotCom]

So, it seems we've ditched the tiny color squares for...well. They're still square.

I'll have my post up tonight, barring further unfortunate circumstances. =)

[Derren Krenshaw]

Unicorns?

Unicorns!

Not that I know why we're unicorns but... yeah... I'm still around. Oro's just waiting on this ethereal blood-scrying project to get underway, so not much to do right now. Looking forward to a Dot post, though : )

[Igraine]

May no more unfortunate circumstances bar your way Dot! And you know, I totally have to admit, I am loving the unicorns! XD And that is totally not tongue-in-cheek snark, these things are just cracking me up, seriously! So damn doofy looking, hard not to love them! Just glad mine isn't getting impaled like Derren's, or pooping rainbows! hehe

My reaction to reading this was similar to what I'd expect from myself if Michael Jordan appeared in front of me and said, "Man, I can't wait for Dot to make this shot."

Only slightly less spastic, because I know I can write a post.

@Grainy -- I feel like I came out on top of the bunch this time. Not being impaled, not pooping rainbows, AND three clouds in the distance there. Three!

[DotCom]

So, long story short, Daisy is sarcastic, and drops Max off at the Death store.

I decided to split this post in two, because just that first part was pushing four pages...also, I needa go to bed, but I'll have the rest up tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, all. =)

[LimeyPanda]

T'was a lovely post Dot, and we're glad to see you again.

Hello everyone else!

Edit: Also, I am clearly the winner on the unicorn front. Look how majestic I look! I'm a derpy Stallion!

[Igraine]

Oh WOW that was a fantastic post Dot, and so looking forward to part two now!

Oh, and by the way? I'm still pretty convinced I won the awesome derpy unicorn lottery here - sure sure, Dot's got three clouds and Panda's got derpy majestic written all over him - but you know what you all cannot touch with MY unicorn?

The blue mane mohawk. Oh hell yeeeesssssssss...
