Class Dismissed

[disciplines]

Atma here.

This post sucks to write.

But I'm dropping Alleyne and Marika, and with that, leaving the game.

I didn't come to this decision easily; I took a few months of waffling to get it out, but a lot of opportunities are coming my way in life, like finding work as a writer in the porn industry who wants to get in my limo dammit ikka and increased responsibilities and classes at my dojo meaning I could very well be on tournament teams and maybe work as a teacher someday, and while this is a good thing it also means I have very little RP drive or time anymore. Though that's probably a bit noticeable by now. It's not fair to the game or the players, and it's dishonest of me to try any further. My time needs to be spent elsewhere so I can fully dedicate myself to these things.

You've all been a wonderful, welcoming group. I could ask for no other to take me and my dumb obscure fanservice elf in. I was amazed you all grew to love her as one of your own given her canon and I've never felt shunned or unwanted here. You all deserve the best.

Aradia gets Alleyne's pet monkey, Ruu, and all of her notebooks and laptop. Galadriel gets her double-capped staff and tomato hat. She also has a pokemon, a Pansage named Rolan, as well as wood furniture she inherited from Alleria, a book she found in Insolitus, a whip from Isabela, and a suit in green sewed by Kanaya. All of these are up for grabs. Everyone that knew her gets a final grade sent to them.

EDIT: Echidna gets the itchy sweater Mama Molotov made. Enjoy, snake!

Marika didn't really get any big CR but if anyone wants a laser gun or a handmade pirate flag, they're free to take it.

And if life does let up for me, you may find me on a returning app with a certain tomato hat, but until then, you're free to keep me around to talk to and pay to make you jerky. I know I'd like to stick around there if you'll keep me.

You can reach me at atma | Gallantry | devildyke | Swordwields and on AIM now and again at Gainoscologist

See you, Para. I'll miss you. Alleyne might not, but I certainly will.

FIRST LOSS AHOY

[thehangedrose]

So, guess who is having his first temporary loss ever in this castle?

That's right, your resident scaredy-cat purple-haired flamboyant man in a tattered coat, Garry. And this loss will bring back something he will pretty much freak out at forever. You see, Garry spent a little time in a strange art gallery in canon where paintings and sculptures came to life and tried to kill him. Kind of like Night in the Museum if it were a horror film. But the worst thing about that gallery, the one that will haunt his nightmares forever, in Garry's opinion, is this:

Yes. A green and really adorably cute bunny ornament.

Wait, what?

Well, don't be dissuaded by its appearance! For in that strange world of the art gallery, minds are messed with to the point where you can see something that it isn't, and what is a really cute ornament to some people is something infinitely more creepy. Say hi to the Blue Doll, everyone. It likes long walks on the beach, Garry, stalking Garry, and wanting Garry to be with it together...forever.

BASICALLY for the rest of the week, Garry will be stalked by one of these Blue Dolls from the art gallery he hates so much, which actually will not be seen moving! It'll just randomly appear near him with some words in paint on the wall next to it saying things like "TAKE ME" or "I have lots of friends, we'll have lots of fun together!" or "Come and play with me. :)"

Now, this is important for your characters and how they see this thing: children and people with incredibly innocent outlooks on life will see it as a cute bunny ornament. Adults and people who have really realistic views on life will see it as the abomination it is. Of course, if you want to do it for the hilarity, you could totally make your character see it as a bunny and wonder why the heck he's having a nervous breakdown over something so cute.

I'll throw up a post tomorrow for people to tag into, and I hope everyone will have as much fun with it as I will! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to comment here, PM me, or bug me over plurk at vampirize.
