So this probably won't come as much of a surprise to some people, but I've decided to drop Simon and am therefore out of the game.

It pains me greatly to have to do this because this game is wonderful and I have met some of the best people here, but I'm going through some pretty stressful RL issues at the moment and unfortunately have less time to RP.

As I said, this game is wonderful and much love to everyone Simon had CR with, I'm sorry to have to let all that awesomeness go. I will probably be back, however, sometime in the future when things quieten down a bit but - until then - stay classy, Asgard. <3

Sup Asgard. Cas (Road Kamelot-Mun) here, with an announcement!

So this place is seriously lacking some cool right now. And by cool, I mean some Strider action. That's why I'm bringing to you:



This guy. You feel that icy chill down the back of your neck? That's because this guy is the very definition of cool. He’s so cool that the polar icecaps want to drift their gargantuan icy asses toward the equator to catch a little sun. He’s so fly that flies wonder why they weren't just named after him. He’s so awesome that if you looked up the word “awesome” in the dictionary, not only would his picture be next to it, but the only definition of the word would be his name:

Dave "Insufferable Prick" "Awesome Badass" Strider.

Yes, take it in. Bask in it. Savor it. Isn't it the best? It's like fucking Christmas up in here, man. It's like fucking Christmas in February. And it's time --



TO GET THIS PARTY STARTED !!!



On a more serious note, for those of you unfamiliar with this cool cat, Dave is one of the four original beta kids in the web comic series, Homestuck, and if you can't tell by now, he's kind of a big deal. He's a coolkid capable of badass timey wimey shenanigans, is pretty pro with slam poetry, and may or may not know a thing or two about swordfighting.

He's also a pretty big dork.

He'll vehemently deny that, though.

Anyway, I'd like to direct you to the customary permissions (including text permissons, because Dave is quite obnoxious with his quirk) here. If you need to contact me, as well, you can PM this journal, or hit me up at tiikyo.

Annnd if you've gotten this far in this obnoxious, over-the-top intro, I applaud you for being almost as badass as he is ;)

No really, I look forward to playing with you guys.

Hi guys!

We noticed we have been low on really fun, widely playable mod events lately, so we've stuck one in on the end of the calendar for this month. We'll be adding a link to this on the main plot post too, but I'll run it down here.

With the resurgence of the greyness after the battle last fall, the city could really use a burst of colour. In the name of generating some emotion, on Day 226 (February 26-27), the gods will be giving out some sweet nudges in the right direction. There will be a brief showering of candy hearts in the wee morning hours -- just enough to leave a few scattered around the city. For the rest of the day, if your character crushes a candy heart (by stepping on it, eating it -- anything that destroys it) they'll be compelled to do the act printed on the candy to the next fellow Traveller they see!

There are six kinds of hearts your character might find. Three of them are positive and taste sweet and three of them are negative and taste sour. The candies are as follows:

Hug Me: What it says on the tin. Your character will have to hug the next player character they see!
Kiss Me: Whether it's a peck on the cheek or a lot of tongue is up to the player, but your character will be compelled to kiss the next Traveller they run into!
Be Nice: Characters who get this heart will have to compliment the next Traveller they see. Compliments have to be genuine, but they could be anything from "nice shoes" to "I think you're beautiful" -- up to the player!
Pinch Me: This is self-explanatory. Characters will have to pinch the next character they see -- hard! Where doesn't matter.
Hit Me: This could be a slap, a punch, or a kick -- either way, characters who get this candy will be compelled to strike the next Traveller they encounter!
Be Rough: This candy forces the character to insult the next player character they come across. Insults have to actually apply to the character in question, but they can be mostly harmless or truly cruel -- up to you!

A few additional rules:

• NPCs Don't Count: This only applies to player characters! Natives won't be affected, nor will Traveller compulsions apply to them.


• Unlimited Candies: You can have your character run into as many candies as you like or none at all. This is opt-in and there's no max limit, so plot with as many people as you like! Repeat candies are A-OK!


• Be Considerate: Remember to make sure you ask other players before doing anything to their characters! Since some of this meme involves touching it's always best to cover your bases.

Use this post to plot away! Questions can as always be directed to the mod questions thread in this post. :)

Basically, I'm going to be really, really slow for a little while; I got robbed earlier tonight, so my head's not in the best of places. I'm really, really sorry to anyone I'm threading with currently.

If anyone needs to get in touch, either PM me or PP me. Thanks.
