*From a rooftop, a cloaked figure declares!!*

THIS IS DARK LORD SAMIDARE SPEAKING! I HUNGER FOR POWERFUL OPPONENTS, AND AS EVERYONE KNOWS, THE MOST POWERFUL or at least awesomest OPPONENTS OF ALL ARE . . . GIANT ROBOTS! I WILL FIGHT ALL GIANT ROBOTS! IF YOU PILOT A ROBOT OR ANYTHING ELSE COOL AND MECHANICAL, I HAVE TWO WORDS FOR YOU:

BRING IT.

Or, y'know, if you're some other kinda powerful fighter, that's cool too, I guess. BUT ESPECIALLY THE ROBOTS!

[Tonight: the trees and buildings are covered in glittering fairy lights and there's a clear sky that affords a gorgeous view of the the moon and stars. It is, in general, a very nice night to be on a holiday date or a totally-platonic-outing...or something in between.

Won't you take advantage of it?]

So, I have Megatron and have yet to do anything really villainous with him. Partially this was because Megatron occupies a very strange space in Camp-he's very large, very tough and he has a nuclear weapon as his sidearm. He can't go around casually fighting people, because they simply aren't on his scale. Megatron fighting regular people or even superhumans doesn't work very well because of this-there are only so many ways to stomp, blast or swat at the puny fleshlings.

And then the Mods send the Mechs in. This changes things. We now have a much larger group of characters capable of bringing the fight to Megatron, and him responding in kind. He actually sees the mechs as a credible threat as opposed to dismissing them out of hand. Which means that I can finally run an event with him. Of course, being a villain means I'm going to have to almost by nature step on some people's toes and cause pain for characters. So this is very much just for consideration.

( So here's the idea. )

Well, whadda ya think?

[Your evening activities may be interrupted by the faint strains of It's Not Easy Being Green playing from the center of Camp, where a sign reading

CHEER UP EMO KID!! :)
HAVE YOU HUGGED A LIZARD TODAY?

has been placed. Beneath the sign there is a lizard-teen, clearly not amused]

...really? Come on.

[TODAY, RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR CABIN/MAGICAL TREEHOUSE/RABBIT HOLE/WHATEVER WINDOW, staring in at you with unblinking, judging eyes: a giant snowman.]

Yosh!! Now all he needs is ears!

(( eta out for now! WILL PICK UP NEW AND OLD TOMORROW, or later today as flakey wireless allows |Db ))

serious poll, because I'm a little curious: is there a character you would totally app but can't, because of the amount of playercesting that would have to happen? for example, I would love to play Metis but I already have Aigis and there is a potential Metis in the beta post I believe PLS TO BE COMING TO CAMP SOON LITTLE SIS ♥

also whoever got Saki a paid account THANK YOU! :D/

[ the door to the Milk Dipper is wide open & set in the middle of it is a table full of cookies, with Airi & Dominic behind it ]

Ah, I think this many cookies is fine for a cookie tasting event.

...I don't think I've ever seen that many cookies in one place before.

[ ooc; airi & dominic are taking a break. will pick up threads later. ]

... because the thought just struck me while I was using Chitose's account to tag someone's main journal:

Have you had an RP journal with a name you'd actually wanted to use for your own journal? I know for one I would have loved "weatherfairy" as my main journal if I didn't use it for RP. |Da

*a boy is on the porch of Boys 13, drinking hot chocolate and playing chess with a moogle*

You can't beat a checkmate by knocking all the pieces off the board, stupid spoiled moogle.

[so, tonight! middle of camp! A GIANT EFFIN' CHRISTMAS TREE. those of you who have been here in years past might recognize it; while it never looks exactly the same, it's big and grandly decorated enough to be that tree. this is a good 20 feet of rock-hard pine, baby, sparkling Edward-style with tinsel and big silver and blue balls--ha ha, geddit.

nestled in the branches of this tree are letters and gifts from those no longer with us. take a look?]




(( I AM SO SO SORRY FOR THE LATENESS OF THIS; I was unexpectedly dragged away this afternoon for family stuff and got back really late. CHRISTMAS LETTERS FROM DROPPED CHARACTERS GO HERE; just go ahead and comment with the text! HAVE FUN \o/ if you need someone to post a letter for you or something, just let me know! OPEN FOREVER. I know I don't have mine done. ))

( On the eighth day of Christmas... )

Edit: GOING TO BED. Will pick up all tags plus new ones tomorrow SERIOUSLY THIS IS OPEN FOREVER.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

You're all going to die! My yes, within minutes, Robot Santa will be here to annihilate you all! Perhaps if you morons had listened to me last week when I warned you, you would have had time to build a crazed-robot-proof dome, like I did!

...Wait. Did I warn you last week, or did I forget? ...Oh well!

((update!: Rikuou is sleeping, Kaza will soon follow. We'll pick up!))

[near the mess hall, a booth has appeared! there's a jingle playing from it that goes: "Everyday's great at your Junes." it keeps playing every five minutes, and every ten minutes, there's an announcement about Christmas sales.

manning the booth are two teenage boys, in aprons, and while they look a little cold, they're determined.

oh, oh, another announcement is coming! "Come on down to the mess hall today, and stop by the Junes booth. We have holiday sales and your gifts will definitely be here before Christmas! Been looking for a great holiday gift? This is your one stop to get everything before it's too late."

there is a little computer set up so they can make all the orders]

(( ooc: Souji and Yousuke will be salesmen and trying to sell stuff! mostly, this is an all-purpose, other means to get gifts place, that's only going to go on for this post. it's a bit of an experiment. all gifts will be delivered by Christmas Eve. if this works out, I'll consider doing it again ... next Christmas!

edit: done for the night. I'll come pick up threads tomorrow. AS A NOTE: if you want to say your character got something from the Junes store but didn't tag in, GO AHEAD. We'll handwave it! ))

[Tonight near the mess hall, one angel is hitching up a wolf puppy to a sled with a box on the back.]

This is just the test run. We'll put lots of gifts on it when we do it for real.

And then we can give them to all our friends like the Sandy person!

Heh, that's Santa. And you got it.


[Well now that you know what these happy holiday campers are doing, what are you and yours up to? Aka IT'S NIGHT IN THE LIFE TIEM. Note, I will be slowwwww.]

OKAY GUYS, I've started my event thing. Due to hilarious timing and such this might stretch out over time since both partners have to be online at the same time, etc blah blah. And people are on hiatus or whatever! It's all good! Since when we do the final post it will have only been a day in game time so o/

Yukinami, Anole, Caius, Masamune and Luffy ‐ are you guys still game?

Spock and Kirk, Sasuke and Bel, Timothy and Bandou, Batgirl and Batsperm I'll be setting up your bits soon |Db

And if anyone else wanted to sign up/change their partnerships or whatever just comment to the post (over here) and we'll see what we can do o/


ALSO, DO YOUR SECRET SANTA STUFF

[In this post, ZEX is drinking glass after glass of wine, and Airi is aiding and being comforting. They also happen to just be... sitting outside in the snow, because VUX get really warm when they drink.]

[And lose their short-term memory.]

[And generally go a little nuts.]

Miss Airi, he is just too cruel, and I doubt that his Stolkholm Syndrome keeps him warm at night. Also, do you have anything stronger?

[Feel free to bother them/bring them more booze/mingle/get turned into a kitten as ZEX's rebound. EDIT: Airi is taking a break, ZEX is still around!]

This feels so wrong on this account, but due to Various Circumstances, I am hurting in the financial department. I'm finally able to jump back full speed into the game, but Domyoji's account has expired. Would someone be able to renew his account and icons? I can try to write you something or give you free legal counsel in the future ;;b

asd;flkj UWAAAAAHHHH Dietrich and Mio make me do something ;o; ♥ ♥

[Jennifer is sitting in the Mess Hall, looking a little rough and staring very, very intently at whoever walks through the door. She might also be shouting numbers at people as they come into her field of vision.]

Five!

(( IC Hot or Not with Jennifer Check. ))

[So if you happen to be in the Exorcist cabin this afternoon, you'll notice that a certain tiny exorcist is taking a nap. Except that he can't be woken up, no matter what anyone does. It's almost like nobody's home right now.

Elsewhere in camp, Austria is staring at a mirror while tugging at his hair and clothes. And he's talking to himself. Except he doesn't sound nearly as prim and proper as he normally does.]

Man, this guy is frumpy. What's with these stupid clothes? He can't be older then 20, so why's he dressing like an old fart? I need to change that right away. But I'm taller now, maybe I can steal- er, 'borrow' that stuff from the kitchen I wanted and hide it away for later.

((OOC: A note for the psychics and mind-readers: there's two minds in Austria's body right now. If you can sense that, please make a note in your tag so that the real Austria can tag you and beg for help. And Timothy is possessing him through ~*~magical powers~*~ in case someone needs to know that o/))

[somewhere about camp today, there is a tiny nation wandering around]

Goddamn cocksucking asshole of a douchebag. It's not supposed to fucking snow at that bastard's house!

[a tiny nation with a pottymouth, that is]

((DEAGE FOR ROMANO Edit: BREAK WHILE I FIND FOOD. Will be back.))

[in your mess hall today! A girl who had up until very recently been poking very irritatedly at a camp issue computer. And now she is talking to you. Yes, you. Very directly.]

Excuse me. I like to think that I've been very understanding and considerate about this place being an asylum that I can't escape in a hurry, but this really is a nightmare. This whole little journey towards insanity aside, there are schedules to be kept to, you know!

Will you please tell me why I can't access my MySpace page?


((might be slow :D;!

eta: wiiiiiiinding down, will pick up tomorrow ♥!))

[THE POOL, IT IS ENTIRELY FROZEN OVER. and by the edge...]

I haven't tried this for years. ...Hopefully, I haven't forgotten too much of it.
