So, Rizu has returned to the land of the waking. At least- She will tomorrow when she is allowed to take her meds again. Back from being suitably abused by a rather cruel study that consists of making one sleep uncomfortably for a long time and not being allowed to know what time it is, then when tired only being allowed to lay down every two hours, and THEN only being allowed twenty minutes to fall asleep and JUST WHEN YOU FALL ASLEEP- The meanies wake you up ;; So I have an appointment next week to have my results "interpreted", so, fail, I don't actually get to find out if anything's seriously wrong until then. ... If there is, I guess you'll see me back here telling you guys I had to shut off my internet and hiatus to pay for the insane car insurance one has to fork over to drive with narcolepsy whoooooo

Anywho, that means Cirucci [thunderwitch], Tianzi [justasystem], Nemu [sciencedaughter], Sui [cherryhoops], Sylvia [vieniconmi], Guilford [glastonknight], Jasdero [tworattles], Havoc [letslip], and Grell [deathbutler] are back in action fully, with my apologies for how slow my tagging has been the last while.

Speaking of GRELL.

☠ JACK THE RIPPER PLOT, COMING TO AN END ☠

Because of a surprise~!development, (one that Grell is rather taken with, mind, see here for the curious), Grell and Sebastian will be duking it out in a DUEL BY MOONLIGHT rather soon, but he really wants to "finish his business" first, so the last two victims will be accelerated on the schedule.

So, so, players of subtleace, objectedly, and betterthanthen, if you've no objections, you can contact me, or I'll track you down, and we can discuss details for bodies beind found in the next two to three days! As usual, I'll field plot questions here for anyone who has 'em!

Peace, Poly, and let's rock 2009, ah?

HELLO, POLY. It's been an awkwardly quiet few weeks.

YES, SO. Remember that semi-hiatus I took before the holiday? Yes, yes, that one. Long story short, I work in a shipping and receiving warehouse for Qwest that's going to be moving here shortly. However, due to our nation's credit crunch, the amount of time and when we're moving to a new warehouse is really uncertain. As a result and because of my past health issues that I've moved past, I'm going to need extra sleep. Because omg overtime pay. Which means I needs to cut back on my fun tiems of RP and whatnot. So that leaves me with RP stuff solely on the weekends, and possibly a few nights if I'm lucky. But regardless, this ends my late night RP things here to begin with ;_;

And if you need me or my girls, please, please ping me on Wrath of Aset or of Domremy, because I have no time to check my e-mail. Like, ever. I know I haven't been as active as I used to, dropped tags, so I'm going to try my best to pick that back up. Unfortunately, this month is going to nooot be helpful with that.

And this affects alldevouring and quamserena.

... as per below, same here. But not for srs reasons kasjdfa I'M SORRY LMFAO I CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY. I'm sending him home to be canon updated to at least 430, because Shikamaru broke his leg in canon and Gai needs to become a prophet.

He'll be back later, though I'm not sure when... probably a week or even a bit less than a week. I need to take a break with him anyways, and focus on my other characters. 8);;;

So after crashing at Gaara/Temari/Lee's place for a night or two due to the massive party foul, he'll be gone.

Retarded icon to fill up retarded post sob. /spams poly forever

Call it post-holiday burnout or whatever, but I (Ruth/redex) need a break. It's not you, baby, it's me. It's also pretty bad timing on my part, buuuut we'll deal with that. I know there's a log that'll need to be done tomorrowish between Gravel & Wanda hexless (email me?) and I may or may not be around for this weeks' curses, but all my internet activity will be significantly decreased until Friday at the very least. If you need me for anything email me (see profiles/ooc posts/taken list/spreadsheet) and I'll try to get back to you within a reasonable amount of time.

While I'm here, Teddy also has presents!
Kate girlwithabow - new white pashmina scarf & chocolates
Remy bangyoudead - X-Men Trading Cards & a bottle of Southern Comfort
Remus lupusnonfacit - a bag of quality cacao beans
Karolina tofuinthesky - a rainbow pashmina scarf & gift card from Turnabout
Kay gouge_em_out - Braveheart Care Bear
Ryoutarou failrider - first aid kit
Edgey objectedly - card & bottle of half-decent wine
Lillith holymadonna - thank you card
Please assume they were delivered personally with much thanks for the presents he got & apologies for lateness.

tl;dr:
+ Gravel combatmagic & Teddy politehulk are on hiatus until Friday Jan 9th.
+ Gravel is skulking around the Underground & Teddy is skulking around being an angsty teenager. Kate has godmod for Teddy of course.
+ Smack me if you see me online after 11pm EST! D:

Just letting everyone know that I'm sending Sakura home.

For an update. To chapter 429( OMG SPOILERS sorry for not cutting it before. )
She'll be back tomorrow, or Monday! Feel free to notice that she disappeared last night, probably after showing chibiSuke around.

IN THE MEANTIME, BE A DOLL AND ANSWER THIS:

Who would top: Sakura or Ichigo?

 Alright, so things are looking up all around and I'm in a much better mood.  What's that mean?!  Well, I BAAAACCCCKKK!!  I've missed you all so much!

Who's that effect?

Carlos westcoastrc 
Vincent dirgingcerberus 
Lara mrs_romany 

They're back, guys!

So, you know Secret Santa stuff? Where you sign up to give gifts to someone and you give a gift in return? Yeah, I signed up for one of these as a fandom thing, and the due-date iiiiis tomorrow, and my current word count on the promised fic is...zero! (I KNOW. I FAIL.) On top of this, I have some chores I need/want to get done, ranging from the "fairly important" (registering for classes this semester) to "incredibly inane" (see, I got Tales of Vesperia and Animal Crossing for Christmas...). Altogether, I really shouldn't be spending too much time on Poly until I can make some noticeable dent in my "to-do" list, so I'm gonna call a semi-hiatus until the 6th...or so. (I'm guessing it won't be that long, but better safe than sorry.) I'm still totally available for plots--feel free to contact me if you need me--and I'll be threading and stuff, I just might only be on during the evening or whatever.

ALSO--sorry for being totally fail on IC presents this year. I meant to do it, but I was much, much busier during the holidays than I expected. (Plus...Animal Crossing.) All of my characters (minus Ami, who hasn't gotten to know people well yet) DID give out gifts, so feel free to assume that was the case if your character was close to one of mine.

This applies to:
Ahiru quackingly
Ami bakachihuahua
Autor freakyfanboy
Chrono tenmorehours

Thanks everyone <3
