This is quite possibly the flakiest thing I've done, but I should have known I wouldn't have time to RP once I moved, and it's turning out to be the case. I'm going through and trimming things down to the characters I have ideas and actually maintained relationships with. I am so, so sorry to any of my castmates and to anyone who was excited that I grabbed any of these characters.

anyway, I'm dropping Axel, Angel, and Lyle. I won't be repicking any of these. I'm still around with Luke and Mikage, who will be here for a while.

I've been putting off doing this for a while now but I haven't posted anything since I finished my last hiatus. I've also tagged very little since I've been back.

Truth is I'm having major muse troubles right now. I've had trouble even tagging with both of my girls and major troubles posting, especially with Vicki. Therefore I'm going to need some time to somewhat ease myself back into things at Poly. I thought I could just throw myself right back into it after all the holiday craziness was over but I seem to be doing poorly with it. So I'd like to apologize to everyone for being so slow and not posting lately, but I'm having some trouble with it all.

Due to all of this, I'm calling a hiatus again. This will be a semi-hiatus/ slow-atus while I try to get myself slowly back to posting regularly and tagging. I'm putting this tentatively until the middle of February to give myself enough time to get back into things and do some decision making.

It will be affecting (as usual):

Vicki Nelson || Blood Books|| acceptingeyes
Sayori Wakaba || Vampire Knight || hushed_observer


Also, a brief warning to friends of Vicki. She's annoyed that everyone that she knew from her world is gone so if you see her trying to make a deal with the deities, don't be surprised. I may post that in a day or two.

Thanks for putting up with yet another hiatus from this one >_<.

I just found out that I'm going to be getting 16 extra hours of work unfortunately, away from the internets per week on a temporary basis, probably a month or two. Since I generally use those hours to sleep or RP, I'm going to be scarce around here for a while. I will try to catch posts and tag on my off hours, but please be patient with my slowness/lateness. This is just a semi-hiatus for now but I may upgrade to full hiatus in February.

This affects Yuuko Ichihara (moresake), Syaoran Li (li_xiao_lang), and Gwendolen Chant (iactmore).

If I miss something you want me to catch, please do not hesitate to IM me-- I am as always on picarats for AIM or more frequently dropsofviolet for Yahoo Messenger.

Eco-friendly human-hating attack Round 2 shall be staged at 9:00pm EST, January 22! Nuada will be secretly (because he can't own up) unleashing another beast, this time closer to the residential areas of the City, like the Square.

Catoblepas: looks like this | acts like this

The catoblepas on this particular occasion will be the size of a mini-van but looking worse for wear since it's been starved and sort of enraged >>; According to Nuada it is giving its life to a 'higher cause' 8| It'll be in the Square for maybe only fifteen to twenty minutes but in that time it'll be trying to gore, trample, and kick people. So here's the only difference from the Death Gaze mentioned in the wiki! Instead of direct eye contact killing, direct eye contact with the beast will send characters to the Shadow City. Characters who lock gazes with the catoblepas will dissipate from the Real City and reappear with their bodies in the Shadow City. This is limited to a maximum of seven characters so volunteer please! P-p-preferably characters who don't easily have the means of getting out?

( Volunteers! )

Slots filled! Everyone else feel free to get attacked without the Death Gaze or watch from a distance or ignore it! Anyone is free to take the beast's body for autopsy purposes but after death its anatomy will be completely lacking in any magic. Aaaand that's all! Also mod approved!
