[in the woods you might hear a ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAR

and then a thin, bedraggled looking boy walking out of said woods]

[nothing suspicious here at all]

((details are here. Expect falling spoilers))

Hos hos hos.

*crossdressing male gorillas are in this post. and they are doing a striptease FOR YOU and also for the dorky guy wearing the party hat*

P-Please no! I don't want to pour sugar on you!

[Since ancient times the first dark nights of Winter have typically been greeted with some manner of celebratory observance, and even while such traditions grow and evolve to better fit contemporary mores, there's usually someone willing to do things the old-fashioned way, just for the Hel of it.

Often this involves the time-honored combination of fire and alcohol and, before the night is through, the resulting bad judgment that frequently accompanies the combination of fire and alcohol. As Thor happens to be one such traditional soul, tonight might be marked with a few unique particularities, including copious amounts of mead and, for good measure, setting a giant, straw-covered wooden goat on fire.

Tradition is a funny thing sometimes. But the music wasn't his idea.]

... mayhaps I should have built it larger...



((Backdated to some ill-defined Solstice-y time before IRL holidays ate me alive~))

Hey guys!

We're going down to see my parents this week (Dec 27-Jan 3) and while we may try to steal onto our laptops for ninja play (assuming our laptops function, which is a surprisingly big assumption) we're gonna be on hiatus. So that's me with Umeda, Riku Replica, Heat, Sakubo, Sahashi Minato, Hakkai, Soubi, and Tsukihiko, and Zazzle with Allen, Axel, Yuki Sohma, Ritsuka, Miharu, Kagari, and Shizumasa.

SERIOUS POLL as I have been playing Sims 3: What five traits and one lifetime goal would your characters have in the Sims 3? List is here.

[as you're trudging through the snow today, you may notice a girl(?) hanging off the arm of a certain oak as they head towards the churchshack. this isn't awkward at all.]

Senpai doesn't live alone, right?

[ BACKDATED TO THE 25TH datepostthing for shuri and benio! come bother them. --benio is slowing down, shuri is still around! ]

Apologies to anyone I'm surprising with this, but I am dropping Graham! He's the character who brought me into camp, and I've loved everything I've done with him, but I haven't played him in a month and a half and haven't done anything new with him in a lot longer. I have decided that my desire to hang on to him is outweighed by my desire to not give LJ money for nothing, as well as the happy feeling of having a lineup only composed of people I actually play.

So he's heading home to do... whatever it is that Graham does. If anyone wants a drop post/thread, let me know and I'll do that in the next few days before his account expires!

That leaves me with four - Medusa/Soul/Raven/Perscitia - for those following along at home.
What will people call me now, my remaining characters all have Mary Sue names. :|a

This has been coming for a while. As much as I love Toki, his castmates, and the friends he's made in camp, I just don't get him out anymore. IT'S TIME.

Thanks for playing with him. It's been a wonderful, wonderful, awesome two years and that's a record length for me keeping a character, aaah! ♥

[Somewhere in your vicinity is a girl at booth attempting to repair a sign:

RETURN UNWANTED GIFTS HERE!
Ask me about magic boobsquish hugs!]

If I fix it, the Director won't be upset, will she?


[[ooc: Intro post for Sakura. Workninjaing, so there might be some slowness~ At home!

Open forever, feel free to mingle, trade gifts, etc.!]]

A swamp? I can't be that lost.

((OOC: Hughes is younger! IT IS A POST-CHRISTMAS MIRACLE))

SAD NEWS FOLKS Anya and Dimitri (princesstopsyou ) went home for a Christmas honeymoon. Thanks for putting up with us playing them, because despite wanting to do more and them being our SOUL ANIMALS (or perhaps even due to that) we both feel justice wasn't done.

♥

To make this less awkward! Serious poll:

Your character's MR/MRS RIGHT what/who is it?

[Hiroki is sitting bundled up in the mess hall, as far away from holiday cheer as possible, with a blank pad of paper and a pen. There are a couple balled up pieces of paper beside him, and he's staring grumpily around while he mutters to himself.]

What the hell... It can't be that hard! I've written a dissertation, I can handle a stupid letter.

(OOC: For those who aren't all that fond of the holidays, or are missing loved ones. I'll be here but mingle too~)

[itp a christmas tree is on fire and probably has nothing to do with the kind of grumpy looking guy in a toga. Maybe.]

(ooc: GOD OUT)

[Merry Christmas, camp! Have gifts you need to exchange? Awkward or adorable holiday moments you'd like to play out? Just want to have a moment of Christmas magic with someone under the mistletoe? THAT'S WHAT THIS POST IS FOR!]



(OBVS. NOT RUNNING THIS, JUST GIVING PEOPLE A PLACE TO HAVE HOLIDAY ANTICS. AND HAPPIEST WINTER HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS, ILU CAMP ♥)

[The mess hall certainly looks different today. Each table is filled with different types of wine, and plenty of glasses. There are even discreetly placed spittoons around the room.

By the reds there is a gentleman, slowly swirling the wine in his glass]

[. . . in the Mess Hall, Allen Walker, Aoyagi Ritsuka, and Devit are wearing PAPER CROWNS and looking dubious. BUT THERE IS CAKE so all else may be forgiven probably ♥]

A-ah . . . well, this is . . . nice?

[Handwavey space-time is a go! For Devit and Ritsuka's birthdays, it's the 21st. We'll play fast and loose. Also, Allen/Ritsuka will be picking up threads slowly/sporadically because rofl busy. Placeholders are A++ and feel free to tag in with any other December birthdays, too.]

Why don't we play a game? One person asks a question in the form of "would you rather," and the other chooses before asking a similar question. I'll start.

Would you rather live forever or live for a day?

[ tsukishiro will be responding, but play amongst yourselves too \o/ edit going out for a bit! ]

[It's a nice, cold evening in the Messhall . You are probably nursing your own warm cup of cocoa and marshmallows and enjoying the season]

This is good.

((mingleeee))

[HOLIDAYS ARE A TIME OF TRADITION /o/. The couch in front of the mafia cave has gained a table with gingerbread houses. Also a fireplace. Don't ask about the fireplace it's probably not real. These are some pretty special gingerbread houses, though, they look normal at first but when you take a closer look. . . well, don't mind the tiny sugar skulls in the snow :|a]

[The sun is just beginning to set over the forest. The freaky bio-luminescence/radioactivity of the lake reflects off the white snow, giving everything a festive green glow. Christmas lights of every size, shape, and description decorate the nearby trees, as well as the hull of the large blue spaceship on the eastern shore of the lake. The hatches are down, the lights are on, and the music is blasting. There is a large banner over the entrance, positively bathed in sparkles. It reads:]

[You are cordially invited to put on your finest, exchange some gifts, and dance the night away. This post is forward-dated to the 25th and is open forever.]
