IF I GET KIDNAPPED OR NEARLY SHOT OR BLOWN UP ONE MORE TIME SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE. SO MUCH.

I feel like I should press charges.

This'll teach me.

So, my laptop is having display issues. Normally I'd be able to handle them, but recently they've been getting to the point where they're so unpredictable that I've been having no time whatsoever to tackle them or save anything, even Lazarus won't do anything. Work and RP have been constantly interrupted due to my display issues, which blank out my screen and while the processor still runs, I have to force shut down, losing most of my work.

Which is ALSO why I've been dropping tags left, right and centre and I really, REALLY feel terrible about it, but I assure you it's not intentional and I would love to backdate if you guys don't mind ;; Until then, slowatus for:

Inoue Orihime | threadedstars
Megumi Yamamura | roseblooms

AND A SPECIAL APOLOGY TO JULES I WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE AN ENTRY FOR YOU THREE DAYS AGO SOB.


Please forgive my fail. D:

((There's no pause, nor hesitation. Cain's voice is certain and determined, but muffled as well, as though he's balancing his Network device between his shoulder and his ear. In the background are a few, very small mechanical sounds. ... And farther away still, the sounds of war.))

Fakir, I'm sure you're already standing guard over the opera house. Riff and I will too.

I admit, I'd expected all this to end last night. I kept watch from the roof and waited for midnight, but the fighting didn't end. So we may have to endure this for another day--and maybe even a third.

((There's are a few sharp metallic sounds--recognizable to some, perhaps, as bullets rattling against bullets.))

We prepared ourselves purposefully for this, you know, with those provisions.

If you're not keeping watch, you should go down to the basements. It's safest there, so long as one doesn't go down too deeply into the passageways. Stay near the surface, but keep yourself deep enough for shelter. It's served well enough before in fights and storms. And for heaven's sake, don't go out today. We'll keep the doors closed and bolted, and keep a watch on them. So far, none of the fighting seems very close. I've seen a few fights in the streets, but nothing more than that. The real fighting seems much farther out, but there's no reason to think it'll stay there.

There've been wars before here, I admit, but nothing like this. There were curses that made us think we were in the midst of war, and we've attacked one another enough times. We defended ourselves against the 'Stewards' once and, so I'm told, against the living dead another time.

((A dull, thundering sound--an explosion, perhaps, somewhere in the distance.

But I've never seen war amongst us ourselves in such a way. I saw the soliders marching by in the streets--scores of them. It's almost as though the visitors who swarm the City every so often have come back, but as soldiers, as armies following generals in the City, that's how many of them there seem to be.

((Small clicks as those rattling bullets are loaded, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... Then, a long silence...))

And where there are soldiers, there is war. And we're to use the opera house as a fortress once again.

((Another pause. Then a short, rueful laugh...))

Hah. I suppose some of you will think it amusing that I've so little to say this time. I've more important things to do today.

((A sharp click as he closes his revolver. And another sharp click as he turns off his Network device again.))

[ooc: He's not fighting in the war, but he's standing guard. Once again, sharpshooting from the roof! Also, I'd like to apologize for my intense fail recently. School has been putting me through the wringer, alas. But it's starting to get back under control, so I'll be kicking around more...I think |D It'll only be icky for another few days, at least. I still feel super distracted and a little "off" so bear with me please! I promise things are clearing up.]

I am finally fully back from the slow-atus to end all slow-atuses. So my activity will hopefully pick up again, though I shall still backdate a lot due to timezones and sleep at a sensible hour being very much needed. :<

Back in action with me is this Rin right here aka your trusty failavenger.

Rating; PG-R
Characters; Harold Saxon and Rose Tyler
Summary; Doctor bonding and mind raping.
Log; ( Chips & Tea )

If you have any questions or concerns for how I'm playing Doris Lang, please address me here. Comments are screened, and anon commentary is enabled.

I'm fully rested from yesterday. I see the time has came once again to offer my help to anyone who needs it. Lilith-san, if that's alright with you, of course. I... I can heal or fetch anything if a doctor needs it. I'd like to help in any way possible.

There was a poor woman out in Xanadu - she was like a ghost, in a way. I really icy ghost. I hope she's alright, she seemed to be of great importance, being tricked and sealed like that. People can be so cruel.

But that seems to be one of the smaller worries in that place.

[ooc; Hotaru released Jadis yesterday :|b. She's a little reluctant to say her name, won't divulge anything, unless you've been on really friendly terms?]

Leon will be leaving the City today for a week so I can canon review for him and possibly canon update him to some time in Tales of Destiny 2. The decision is still pretty up in the air and dependent on if I can get in the mood to play all of ToD2. But canon updated or not, he'll be returning on Sunday the 15th.

Roommates, feel free to notice that Leon left Chaltier in the City when he left. Godmode rights and swordian ownership on Chal will go to Yuri until Leon returns. And don't mess up his corner, guys B|

This will also be a hiatus for me until that Sunday ♥

Uh right, when you haven't looked at your computer much at all in over a week, that's when you know. Hiatus for me for life, the universe, and me trying to figure out how I'm going to make my new job later this week work out schedule-wise. and I am so, so sorry for dropping all those tags on 4th wall. I had company from out of town show up earlier than I'd expected fjaklsdjf orz forever

This affects (and mod rights to):

Hikaru | redstrength: Still hanging around the City, working days at the orphanage. Umi, Mokona, and apartment mates have got her. If there's some social event that would make sense she'd be there, consider her there.

Minene | dartaccident: No modding rights, but she's plotting, deities. I'll get with you, mods, when I come back.

Rain | not_methuselah: Hanging out, destroying the shounen apartment. Apartment mates, take him, feel free to use any of those disasters I talked about.

Duo | mechaplanned: No one really gets rights to him, but he's around doing intel and being a nuisance. UH LOCKON AND SETSUNA, you can assume he went to that lunch if you guys want to assume that? idek what's been going on fjaskljdf

I'm going to say a week for me to get this stuff sorted out and try to be back in action around this time next week. If anyone has a question or something, I'm an email away (acagle[a]gmail.com). You guys have fun, see you again soon!

I see now that the embers of battle have yet to be extinguished.
Within me, the wish to spill blood cries out. The sight of broken corpses piled beneath my feet. The mountains of death.
I have abandoned that indulgence.
Take your violence to those who can defend against violence.
Struck the weak and the powerless, turn the war into a slaughter, and my sword will be pointed at your direction.

Venture within the woods and the wilderness itself would turn against you.

Log; ( Whenever she is raging she takes a life away; )

afewksd ahaha so uh. Who didn't see this coming?

I thought I could hang on to this guy for a bit more but stuff at work came up that's made it become really hard to keep up with a game as fast as Poly, especially with someone like Firo, and I couldn't keep him as active as I'd liked him to be. So! He'll be leaving the City and returning to his bros and Family back home. :"> Thank you so much to everyone who interacted with him during his stay, I really appreciate it! 8D That said:

friend remove camoerrista here or hover-click. :>

Hopefully that will allow me to focus more on my other two characters and be less. idk fail at Poly in general jadks. <3

And then there was one blind man. Circumstances beyond my means or understanding have deprived a sound, logical medical investigation. Or as I like to say--got the easy way out. Heartwarming, wonderful in that way that Hallmark hopes to mimic every time, isn't it?

There's work still to be done. I haven't seen Dr. Deus Ex Machina around here to pick up his shift everywhere else.

Say Dr. Jimmy, (I wasn't aware that was your official moniker) I can't help but notice it looks like you're trying to get an Eden of your own. The least she could do is pick up an accent. I guess that's what the button nose is for. Right?
