Hey guys! It's Marion again (of that crazy pink lady and snooty Welshman) with a new addition to my cast of awkward dorks.

Meet Axl Johnson from the brilliant New Zealand tv series The Almighty Johnsons! He's a fairly normal Kiwi guy. He likes to party and get drunk and hang out with friends and generally slack off in his classes.

Oh yeah and he also happens to be the re-incarnation of the Norse god Odin.


also the re-incarnation of a giant puppy



I am so pumped to throw him at you guys and generally have people disbelieving in him being the All Father. NOW GET ON IN HERE FOR ODIN HUGS!

Hi everybody,

Without going into the nitty-gritty, RL and all that implies has been hectic and I've also been pretty ill for the majority of the month. I was initially hoping against hope my inspiration for poly would come back with time but unfortunately that hasn't happened yet, and my activity even before I got sick was pretty poor, so I think it's time to bite the bullet and head out. Raphael (bedsidemanners) will be headed back home where canon dramatics dictate his eventual stardom in an off-off-off-off-Broadway production of Sleeping Beauty. Well. Something like that.

Major apologies and thanks to all those I've gotten the chance to know and play with, especially my castmates, you're all a very sweet, fun bunch of people and I'm going to miss you very much! Defriending amnesty is go of course but if you'd still like to hit me up I'm around a bit on plurk as arybaisser. Thank you all again.

What’s that music? Is that a big top going up in the Square? It is, it is! Come one, come all, to the three ring big top, the greatest show on earth! Come for the show and stay forever.

Wait, was that right?

A Circus is rolling into the City! While some of the entertainment is fun and harmless, in this situation, something wicked this way comes. After all, the deities invited them in, and this is a show for the ages.

On the 23rd the Circus will arrive in the City, and set up shop at midnight. The first day it will be all innocent fun, so catch a trapeze act or maybe see the house of mirrors. But is that a freak show? Where are all the freaks?

Well, denizens, that’s where you come in. Starting the 24th, the circus will be kidnapping you, citizens, and making you join the show!

Here are the details:

- Citizens can be either sewn together in pairs via whichever body parts you choose, or they can be transformed into monsters or animals, if karma is more your game!

-Citizens that are sewn up must have something in common – they’re twins now, after all! It can range anywhere from the deep and profound (we both had fathers kill our mothers and swore revenge!) to shallow and coincidental (we both have green eyes). Be creative with which body parts are attached!

-Citizens that are transformed into creatures and horrors should have a relationship to what they’ve turned into. Acted like a pig to women? Time for a piggy nose and ears, and maybe a curly tail. Killed a lot of spiders? Here, have eight new legs.

-How do you turn back, you say? You don’t!.....oh, all right. Turning back is as simple or as complex as you make it. For twinned characters, find out what it is that binds you, that tie that makes you the same. Transformed characters must perform an act of heroism that counteracts whatever it is that transformed them!

-The circus will be in the City for five days and will be leaving the 28th, and they'll be kidnapping the whole event long, so don't feel the need to rush! Maybe they don't nab your character until later!

-Characters don't have to visit the circus to be nabbed, after all the circus folk will be wandering the City, and you never know when one might just think your character is interesting.

-If your characters haven't figured out sweet freedom by the end of the event, that's okay. The deities will free them...for the cost of entertainment for exactly one minute (which is the attention span of your average deity....or maybe just how long they care). Sing a song, tell a joke, dance a dance, we don't care, just keep us laughing!

Any questions? Lay them out here!
