Hi, guys. This is Laurel. As I've told many of you on Plurk, I'm dropping not one but two characters from Para. Both Sandy and Sunny are going home at the end of this month. Their voices aren't gone but there are only so many things you can do with an infant (especially without either of her siblings here) and a guy who doesn't talk who's quite content to chill and watch over the sleeping world. So I've decided to let them go and take a decidedly different direction...
No, you're not seeing double. That's right, I'm bringing ANOTHER Jim Carrey to the castle. Meet Steve Gray from the movie The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. He's a magician who's something like a cross between Criss Angel and David Blaine. All the shock of Criss Angel and the ridiculously stupid "do X for a week BECAUSE I CAN" of David Blaine.
He does have a darker twist to his magic, however, and for that precise reason I have a
permissions post all made up for him. Some of his tricks involve some amount of self-harm and self mutilation. Some of it is fake but a lot of it isn't. He
never does anything to harm anyone else, only himself. The last thing I want to do is squick people out who don't want it or to trigger people for whatever reason. I'll be putting anything he does that involves him burning, cutting or otherwise hurting himself under a cut with mucho warnings. Generally speaking all of that kind of stuff will be restricted to his own posts to make it easier for people to avoid it if they so choose. However I'm choosing to ere on the side of caution overall and ask that
anyone who would rather I just not tag their characters with Steve at all to let me know. I truly will not be offended. I'd prefer to lose potential CR than risk making people uncomfortable OOCly.
All comments to the permissions post are screened.
He's coming in from near the end of the movie as he steps on stage for his final performance and before he SPOILERS->
Scrambles his brains with a power drill. Whoops. His loss is that periodically he will be compelled to ask someone to "pick a card." Unfortunately, try as he might, he will never manage to correctly show which card they picked.
