Hey, guess what?!  Vincent is going home for a day for a canon update!  Yeah, I finally beat DoC again, so he'll be coming back tomorrow post game.  What's that mean?  Well, he'll be Chaos-free, of course!

He'll be disappearing later tonight and reappearing later tomorrow with only the vaguest of memories of the city.  Feel free to notice he's gone.

Hey guys, I'm declaring a hiatus. ... But not for me.

Some of you on innate's f-list know about this, but Jesse's computers are having some serious issues with an infinite reboot loop, so he's now going to have to be on an indefinite hiatus until the problem is rectified.

Characters affected:

Tsukino Usagi | remedially
Joshua Christopher | apostleofhope

Hopefully, Jesse will come back very soon, as he's quite upset with this occurrence. Computer problems are a bitch, guys.

Well, I hate to say it, but Justine has abandoned me.  For those of you who care, I'm sorry, but she's just not talking.  Nothing is worse than forcing something like this so I will lay her to rest... for now.

Please remove lovemarked from your friends.

Just letting everyone know I'm not dead or anything xD But I don't feel quite ready to come back yet, so I'm still on hiatus.

Er, semi-hiatus anyway. I'll likely post tomorrow and the day after, if I can, but I might be slower than usual at picking up tags. I dunno, Michiru!Muse decided to go on some sort of winter vacation away from me for a while xD Hope she brings back some plot ideas >.> or... maybe a souvener.... or something... x3

anyway, so yeah, hiatus still in effect, I apologize to the senshi crew, and to Haruka-mun in particular. We'll get those HarukaMichiru interactions done yet! Really!

Hello again, Poly! Varali here, bringing you a bit of a curse-induced plot!

As you all know, on the 23rd of December, we shall be having the curse Holiday for All the Ages, in which the citizens may be affected physically and/or mentally to advance or to regress in age. Well, this homunculus here has reached the point in his canon where he wants to enjoy what the world has to offer and is no longer bitter towards mankind. However, as the main antagonist of Busou Renkin, he did spend half of the canon wanting to burn the world and to destroy all of humanity (secondary to killing Mutou Kazuki, of course).

So, what does this mean for Poly? 8D

Homunculi in the Busou Renkin canon eat humans because they were once humans and they wish to regain the humanity that they lost. Papillon in this point in canon no longer wants to eat humans . . . meaning he's surpassed his attachment to his human self and has truly metamorphosed into the elegant butterfly he wants to be. A unique entity all of his own.

But . . .

The curse will change all that!

So, on the 23rd, Papillon is regressing back into his cannibalistic, angry, psychotic self! He will be much more unstable, much more vengeful, and quicker to kill without second thoughts. How will this killing go about?

Well, he'll be eating citizens.

This is where you guys can volunteer if you're interested!

5 citizens will be victimized by Papillon on this day—he'll be eating them by sucking them through his palms, as seen in the following manga pages: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05.

Or, if you wish to watch it happen instead, you can see it here: (From 2:15 onwards!)

( sucking you in )

So, if any of you want to volunteer your pups for this experience, you're free to sign up in this post! However, your character must be human, and please take note that after they are eaten by Papillon, they will be City!dead. Of course, they will be up and about the following day, and they will be free to talk about it in full detail.

There's no description of what it feels like to be eaten by Papillon, but I'd imagine it would feel like being melted and sucked into a straw. :x But feel free to take liberties with that description!

So, have at it, Poly! 5 citizens can be volunteered for eating starting now! (If not, NPC's can handle it. ^^)

1. Keikain Yura | keikainheir
2. Kain Highwind | shadowofadragon
3. [open slot]
4. [open slot]
5. [open slot]

If you've got any questions, feel free to hit me up in AIM: varali luna!

Of course, this plot is Mod Approved! ♥

Thanks, Poly, and looking forward it! :3

/slinks in during mid-semi-hiatus turned non-hiatus...

Okay so business was kind of bad *kicks pebbles around* so I was thrown to the side like a wet tissue idk idk SO NOW LOL consider me off of semi-hiatus. 8);; So Shikamaru (plsgtfo) and Bak (isastalker) will be here... not that they haven't been here... *fails at semi-hiatuses*

And I'm also bringing Yamamoto Takeshi from KHR into the City... AKDLfjaskfdlasfdas THIS WILL BE THE LAST ONE. *will not be enabled anymore* ;.;

Please friend add lolhilol here or hover!

A-am I insane for picking up another character during the busiest week of the retail year? idk idk possibly (YES.)

E..erm regardless, here is Connor from Angel!

He will be all up in your biz shortly trying and probably failing to save the day while crushing on your older/ass-kicking women. And he comes from the comic sequel to the series, so he'll even be less like a homicidal brat and more ... you know, trying to hero it up like his daddy.

So. friend add livedtwolives @ the admin console or hover, please! ♥

so i hear you guys had a zombiepocalype while I was out





...Among other things. It looks like I also missed a good deal of add/drops that were/are relevant to my interests.


At any rate. I finished my 20 page french astrophysics paper, survived the plane trip home (it takes nine hours from Paris to Washington DC) and I'm now operating on EDT.

Back with me are:
Riza Hawkeye [guardianed]
Kusajishi Yachiru [pinkenthusiasm]
Sakura Mizrahi [mizrahigirl]



Also: I'm sending Hawkeye home for a canon update to ch 89 after the youth curse, as an FYI to avoid spamming the crap out of poly_tldr. She'll disappear at midnight instead of growing up again, and will likely be gone for a couple of days max, and will come back spoilery (not that she's going to talk about it.)



Some kind soul plz fill me in on what's happened in the past two weeks? ♥~?



EDIT FFFFFFFFFF anon, y so caring, whoever just bought yachiru account time: ilu ;___; ♥

So, who was here last year for Major's twelve days of Christmas? I got a big kick out of it, and it seemed that a lot of people enjoyed it, so I thought I'd do it again!

Now, last year, I made a lot of it up on the day of, but I'd like to do a little planning ahead of time. So, I'm asking everyone if they have any interesting and awesome ideas for this year!


To those who weren't here, essentially, Major picks a theme for twelve days starting on Christmas day and gives out gifts following that theme. These gifts are sincere, honestly helpful, and clean. No bugs, no bombs, nothing. But they might be something like... a knife with over Nazi emblems. Or extremely helpful medical reports garnered in horrible ways.

Or just something normal, but do you want to take it from HIM?

At any rate, I would LOVE some help or suggestions.

The elves want you!

Well, sort of. Here's the deal. In Niko's world, elves are nasty, murderous monsters with a personal interest in pumping his existence as full of torment and terror as they can. Niko has good reason to believe that when he goes home, he'll be dropped into the middle of a battle with what's left of their race, which brings us to the topic of the Christmas Future curse on the 27th (Saturday), which brings us to you!

I need two groups of volunteers. The first group will consist of characters who will be mistaken for the Auphe (that's the elves) by Niko and subjected to vicious attacks. The second group will consist of characters who try to stop Niko while being mistaken either for associates from home or anonymous NYC natives. (Characters being mistaken for Auphe can also try to stop him; he'll just be a lot meaner to them.)

( This is a sign-up list! )

Because Niko is an excellent fighter and will not be pulling his punches, I'd like to ask for characters that can last at least a few minutes against a human who consistently goes toe-to-toe with the Big Bad Wolf and wins. Niko will use lethal force (blades and hand-to-hand) against anyone he believes to be an Auphe, and he won't be gentle about shaking off anyone else who tries to stop him. Also, in the interest of limiting property damage and general disruption, extremely destructive super powers are not allowed. You might put a small crack or two in the pavement, but let's leave the sidewalk there for others to enjoy. Bear in mind that Nik's meant to get out of this in one piece and still breathing, though that doesn't mean his opponents can't hurt him in the interest of saving lives.

What does volunteering mean for you? That depends on the character and what you want! Drop me a line, and we'll work out on an individual basis whether your character gets a little banged up, a little dead (for the sake of Niko's conscience, this may not happen), or a little "Ha! I laid out the superninja TA!" I'm looking for volunteers now so that we have time to plan before the curse rolls around. These encounters can be played out on an individual basis, or we can group a few together if that makes better sense. Plotting can be done in e-mail, over messenger, or if need be through LJ.

As for the rest of the City, feel free to take notice of the fighting, to fret over it, to ignore it, to complain that someone's making an awful lot of noise in the street behind Building Two, or to wonder who spit in Niko's cereal that morning. I'll make another TL;DR post on Saturday to let you know when things get started.

Mod inspected and mod approved!

First: THANK YOU ANONYMOUS GIFTER OF PAID ACCOUNT AND EXTRA USERPICS. You are a generous soul and I would bestow many hugs upon you if I knew who you were.

Oh, hell, it's the internet. Take 'em anyway! *HUGS*



Second: So my grandmother has just gotten out of nursing care, and for the next few days I'll be babysitting her to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid, like try to take the trash out and break her hip again (true story). This means my days will be without internet, although I will be around at night. So tagging will not stop, but it will slow.

As for pre-party/party shenanigans, hit me up here (this is mainly directed at livingmyths, jumbogal, and horrible_phd) and we can either backlog or just figure out what those crazy kids have been up to. =) vieniconmi, the Epic Church Quest(tm) will probably be slow, but I will kick that off tonight. I planned to do that earlier today, but Christmas shopping + grandmother-sitting took over.


Much love to all!

Just say yes. Ruth (redex, Teddy-mun) here again, spamming your ooc community. This time to bring in Sergeant Major William Gravel of the SAS, a combat magician here to eat all your guns-for-hire and pansy mages for breakfast. He was created and is written by Warren Ellis, which should tell you something if you've read any of his other works. Gravel here is used to Very Strange Things happening to him, but he's not used to not being able to do anything about them. I also apologize for the crappy icons, but there's nothing I can do about bad art & colouring, sigh, and his profile will be sorted out soon enough.

Soooo hover and friend add for me pretty please~ I'll be introing the boy shortly.

This is also a notice that I'll be hiatused for Dec 24-26 but Teddy'll likely be back next week, whereupon I can spam your flists more!
