A City With No People

Happy New Years, Everyone!

Unfortunately, with the wind down of the holidays, the Calendar has not been updated just yet -- but that should be fine, as there is only one event for this month, and it will last for the entire month, starting in a few days once we have everything organized with the Players. :)

But, sadly, You guys don’t get to know what it is until the event actually starts! But, we will be doing sign ups. ;)

Giving away absolutely everything about the Event will take away the fun of the surprise. However, since there isn’t a Calendar up to give a hint, I’ll give some now: The Event will be in groups, in a new setting as well as being potentially dangerous.

( Consider this a sign up post for the Event. )

And just so everyone is aware, since this post has just bumped it down, there is also an HMD currently going on.

New Year's still isn't quite the same without Times Square. I considered doing a ball drop in the center of town, but it just doesn't compare.

I really didn't think I'd be spending a second year in this place, but you kind of adjust over time. The year is starting off better than last, I think.

Hey, Bats. You've been quiet lately. I've looked all over the town's normal brooding spots, but I haven't seen you. Anything you got for me so I can put myself to use?

So... the Christmas party was really fun. I don't know who spiked the punch, but I guess it's okay. No one got hurt or anything, and no one embarrassed themselves too much. That they can remember.

We should do that more often. Not the big party, but just... get together and have dinner. If Lelouch and Haruhi-chan are willing to cook and bake for us that often, anyway. It would be really fun, since everyone seemed to enjoy themselves so much before.

What do you guys think?

If you find yourself at the crossroads of insomnia and insanity, this is the place to channel those demons that keep you sleepless. Vivid pictures, poetry, ruminations, and confessions from the nether hours between dusk and dawn. Originally formed to celebrate the city at night, there's a strong urban theme.

green_future
Dedicated to promoting global sustainability, this community offers a forum for discussing current environmental news, research, and issues with tips on how to make positive, pro-active changes to reduce carbon impact. You'll also find information on how to get involved in eco-activism and learn about events near you (i.e., act local; think global). Offering a wealth of data on earth-friendly products and practices, you'll be inspired to don an organic bamboo cape and save the planet.

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

I'm the next casualty of that thing called a hiatus. I've been busy since New Year's Eve, actually, but I just realized that it's not going to end until the end of the month. Mostly.

My cousin's wedding is on Friday which my family and I are preparing for, I start a new job on Sunday, and I've got winter break homework to finish before I start classes again on the 20th. My class load is no joke either so I want to finish a whole week of class so I can see how busy I really am, and where I can fit in RP-related stuffs... ;;

So that puts me back at about February 1st. Here's what my muses will be up to for the month:

Haruhi (reallyiamagirl ) will be working, hanging out with Tamaki and their puppy, and just mostly doing what she usually does.
Abel (fatherofmercy ) will be wandering the city and eating all the food in the house.

See you guys next month!

Is there any point to all this New Year excitement, I wonder?

From what I see, humans never change. Hm. Give it a few days, weeks, maybe. If you're not all back to making each other miserable... give yourselves a prize. You get so upset about kittens, I wonder how many of you really care about the plight of your fellow man.

Or half-man.



[She laughs quietly, amused.] Galatea. Keeping yourself busy?

Hopping on aboard the hiatus train, I will be pretty busy during the next two or three weeks so I am calling a hiatus. It's mostly getting all my college application stuff done and honestly, LJ is distracting me from these things. :| Damn you, LJ. Damn you to hell for being so addictive.

...cough cough.

This will affect:
Tamaki Suou [totaldrama_king]- Chilling with Haruhi and Cami at their house and the Eagle's Splendor.
Ling Yao [seekimmortality]- Annoying the FMA household.
Leonard McCoy [adoctornotamuse]- Being his normal grumpy doctor self at the clinic and his house o' misfits.
Alia Moore [deliversemotion]- Doing her job and such. Idk.

If anyone needs to contact me, my email is whatAbeautifulX@aim.com and it's the same AIM. I might hop in chat if I get the chance. BEE ARE BEE.

Indefinite hiatus due to cut internets! D: Stealing school nets right now.  Affects Ofelia and Jilly.

WHO: Kuwabara kuwabaraisaman and Kurama fox_shuuichi
WHAT: Kuwabara found a box of kittens.
WHERE: The flower shop.
WHEN: Riiiight after this.

( CAN HE CAN HE CAN HE? And a video. )

Man, I wish there was an arcade around here...

[Meow!]

Wha? [WAS THAT A KITTY DISTRESS SIGNAL?]

AWWWWWW!!!

....[Ahem.]

Okay, who the hell would do such a thing?! [Various meows coming from kittens.] Leaving a box kittens in the snow like this... oh hey there, little fella!

Let's see...one, two, three... twelve of them! Hmm...what should I do? I can't just leave them here!

... [Remains silent as he picks up the box and runs back to the flower shop, miraculously not slipping though the snow. And like hell he would do that, with a box of kittens in his hands! This is totally a manly thing to do.

Watch out, Kurama. Be ready to...say yes. Please?]

(ooc: Kuwabara found a box of kittens! :3 A total cat lover and defender of small animals everywhere, he just can't say no to them. Just fyi, he will eventually have to give them away, so there will be a future post about that. 8D I hope there are those out there who want kitties in their lives? :3 I don't think Kurama is willing to have them all at his shop. :D;)

Hm. Something functional and something elegant.

I suppose I can get behind this 'Christmas' thing, after all.

The new year. A bit ridiculous to celebrate something like this, isn't it? But perhaps I'm simply jaded. When one's seen as many years as I have...

[ a somewhat noncommittal grunt is recorded ] Still can't believe I've been here for nearly two years.

I received my father's necklace for the holidays, from "Santa." Whomever "Santa" happened to be this year, you have my thanks. Overall, I suppose I've had a fairly good year. A momento from home, a lover, and an oasis of blood. It sure as hell beats eating monkeys alone in the jungle.

Ganked from squarewarts ! Happy New Year, everyone! :D
