Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

<Snipped quote by The Mad Hatter>
Just to be clear since we're talking to non-Scandinavians. This is not a tradition that is specifically associated with turning 25, but rather for turning any age above... twelve I guess...

Anyway, you're welcome for getting more uncomfortable, that was what I was aiming for after all.

@Halvtand

This is true. Most bars/pubs/whatever actually give first drinks free to birthday boys and girl. So people do Pub Crawls on their birthdays to get free drinks at all bars in town. It is also tradition for the birthday boy/girl to down as many shots as years they are turning - the twist being that these shots can be anything from tab water, to vinegar, to vodka, to hot sauce and if you puke, you have to do it all over (this might just be danish, though, 'cause we're sort of a whole nation of retards).

In Denmark (or at least Jutland, since I think they do it differently on The Devil Island, better known as Zealand) you just get tied to a lamp post, spayed with a hose (no matter what time of the year your birthday is), dowsed in cooking oil and absolutely drowned in cinnamon on your 25th birthday, if you haven't gotten hitched yet. If you still haven't gotten married by the time you turn 30, you get the same treatment with ground pepper instead of cinnamon.

ANYWAYS! Post will be up TODAY *Intense Applause with whistling and shouting*

Just dropping in to let you know that I'll most likely have time to push out a post this weekend, unless something unexpected happens (which is very likely when you have kids).

In other news, I'll be turning 25 this Sunday (yay ) and, as by Danish (an generally Scandinavian) tradition, I will be getting shitfaced to the point where I'll need subtitles at the bill of my friends and family. I'll likely be hung over for at least a week, because I'm older on the inside and haven't really had a drink since new years, which wasn't even enough to get me buzzed.

Probably interested, if you're still accepting! I really like survival and desert island rps, so hopefully this will have that aspect as well as the mythos.

@Tybalt Capulet

I very much still want this to happen, but, sadly, my players all vanished. I can try and gather some interest again, if you want?

Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

@Halvtand
Thanks for making it awkward for everyone around them, too. I totally felt like it wasn't awkward enough already.

@NobodiesHero
I think it's your "turn" to post. Any idea when you'll have time for it? No rush, just curiosity.

Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

Still here. I'll be moving to another state soon, which means getting the house ready to be put on the market and all the crap that involves. I've been getting posts out much slower because of this.

@NobodiesHero

That's completely understandable. We're both slow posters in general, so we don't mind. And the others seem to have dropped, which is fine, too. Better a few loyal players that we know can stand the wait that the both of us are gonna cause (and now you, too, haha) than a bunch of people who're only around as long as there's "action" :)

Almost seems like it's down to us three. I'll try to get a post up today or so that will move my dude closer to you so we can... interact freely ;)

@Halvtand

Yeah, it does seem so. Maybe caliban might still be lurking, but I don't know. I have an old "friend" that might join, but maybe not. He's definitely loyal, so I'm sure that if he joins, he's in it for the long haul and 3-4(maybe 5) people is just perfect to me.

I'm disappointed in you for two reasons:
1) You haven't fixed the broken-ass hider in your siggy yet. GET IT DONE ALREADY!!!
2) You didn't put the herpes comment in your siggy. You are like herpes. Flaunt it.

I'm gonna ignore your "interact freely" comment because if we get started, we'll never stop and I have been banned for inappropriate writing before and don't want to try it again (it was a long time ago, though, and on another forum)

<Snipped quote by The Mad Hatter>

That's as close to a compliment you'll get, eh?

@Halvtand

Yes. Put it in your siggy. "Halvtand is like herpes - wise words by The Mad Hatter"

I called you my "kinda, sorta, as-close-as-you-get-to-a-friend-on-the-internet" once. That's definitely a compliment if I ever saw one.

I'm pretty sure just calling you a "dumb swede" is kind of a compliment, too, since it's significantly nicer than anything I've said to any other swede. Even if you aren't a real swede and are slightly danish anyways.

Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

Of course, I'm still here.

@Halvtand

Obviously. I just can't seem to get rid of you, no matter what I do. You're like herpes.

@Darcs@EvolvedHigher@FiroIV@luckofthedraw

You guys in or out?

I can't get the IC up when we have no approved characters...

@NobodiesHeroI'll have way too much fun with this. Post is up.

Naruto : Gobigakure no Sato

She could not wear purple, Haruka decided mentally as she ran her fingers over the soft silk of a violet kimono with butterflies in various colors and sizes ornamented into the fabric. If she did, she would have to put her hair up, too, for the two shades not to blend into one another and putting her hair up would expose some of the head of the phoenix on the nape of her neck, where the body and flames stretched down to her shoulder. Her fingers ghosted over a cream-colored one, never touching it in feat that it would remind her of the sensation of Suzaku's. Maybe a red one?

Before she had the chance to reel herself into a state of depression by going through all of things that reminded her of her old life, she decided to leave. Just as she had turned to do so, she was startled to a halt by the sudden embrace that caught her from behind, arms resting lightly around her shoulders. Her breath hitched and she had to repress her every instinct to reach behind her and toss this person across the marketplace like a football. A chin fell to her shoulder and by the way the arms pulled back a bit at the move, this person was much taller than her.

"Miss me, my dear? I know a certain part of me that definitely missed you." came the smooth, almost seductive comment from the man behind her. She could tell it was a man by the voice.

For a long moment, a moment so long, in fact, that it might have gotten a bit weird, Haruka just stood like frozen. Her every muscle was clenched and she had no idea what to do. She could not quite place the voice in her mind. She turned her head just enough to see red. No, literally. She saw red hair and something clicked inside her head. Immediately, her face matched his hair in color and she was sure she radiated heat from pure embarrassment.

This man, who was so obviously hugging her in the middle of a populated area, was a hooker. Half the women, and men, if she remembered correctly, there were likely clients of his at some point and knew very well what he was.

“I, uhh,” Haruka mustered oh-so eloquently. Her throat snared up and she was sure she was going to explode any minute now, “Thanks?” she finally managed, only to immediately start mentally kicking herself. What the hell kind of response was that?
