I don't even want to know how much I've had to drink...it's just because my social life is somewhat manic right now as we've all just graduated high school and want to enjoy the last time we have together before going in separate directions.

Aw dude that is completely forgiven. When I graduated high school last spring (2013), I was the designated driver for all my friends at parties ;_;
It wasn't because I'm a good driver or anything (I'm Asian, Lel); it was because at that time, I didn't drink. Just wait till you start college and booze becomes tricky business (hard to get a hold of and expensive), so then you just start mixing everything with Everclear. Juice, soda, Monster, iced tea...
And the sorostitutes are bad man. They suck the life out of you by wanting to party. And you don't want to be part of the FFSA-- Future Frat Stars of America (or Europe, wherever you live). Girls secretly give guys a bunch of shit for being a frat daddy. XD

Everclear? Geez, sounds rough lol. If you gotta resort to mixing everything with Everclear, I gotta say my condolences XD.

It's all good though Halo. Like I said before, I was never in doubt that you'd post and these guild outages aren't helping anything at all. It's been a bit better, but with the guild going down every few hours, I can imagine a few of the more popular RPs are suffering a bit as far as pacing goes as well. Looking forward to your post though.

Well thee well, today is progression day lol. Bliss will post this evening and then I'll go right after her tonight. Remember people, after that happens, posting becomes free. I need to discuss this more with Bliss, but I believe we should be able to move the plot every three days or at least once a week if it comes to that. That's thanks to the fact that the cast is a nice, small size. That's all for now. I'll be around on the site all day as this is my second day off, but I'll also be playing my PS4 so yeah.... But I'll be around XD.

Well, luckily where I live we don't need a driver (plus none of my mates can drive; none of us really need to), and I just crashed at my friends' houses three days in a row xD. What made you change your mind about drinking?
I live in the UK; you can buy booze when you're 18. I already have friends that can buy for me and I turn 18 in a few weeks, so no worries there. Muwahahahhaa. I can continue drinking far too much rum for my own good. :P
God, no. Please no. I have absolutely no desire to be part of a frat or anything. They're not really a thing here in the UK, anyway, luckily. No, I fully enjoy a damn good party, but I don't really want to be a part of "party culture", for lack of a better term. It's not a way of life; they're events that I go to, probably get wasted at, and enjoy for what they are.

3 days is a good interval, I think. Means players don't fall behind just because they've got a busy weekend or some such. Just my two cents.

Great post Halo! Knew it would impress lol. Now all there is to do is move the plot this evening. Or, we could even do it sooner depending when Bliss gets on and feels like writing. Whatever the case may be, keep a lookout on the IC as at some point today it will be moved forward by Bliss and myself. I think you guys will appreciate what's coming next haha.

Man, I was never part of a frat. When I was in college, I felt like Halo; I enjoy a good party, but I'm not one for the party culture so to speak. I the frat guys were stupid just for the sake of it, at least where I was at.

Speaking of drinking, anybody here enjoy liquor? I know most times people say "I drink", they mean to see beer or something. I personally favor Vodka whenever I do decide to drink (I'm only a social drinker for real, I don't even buy alcohol to store in my place).

Thanks! I'm glad to hear I'm keeping up with the standard here in Advanced. And I anticipate the next installment :3

I've always found the whole frat thing kinda interesting; we don't really have them here. Of course, you get that sort of person everywhere, but it's not exactly an institutionalised thing the way it is in the US and elsewhere.

I always drink rum, actually. Among my friends there's a divide between lightweights, who always drink cider and beer, and the heavyweights, who always end up drinking vodka (my love for rum is somewhat of an exception and Captain Morgan's has, apparently, become my signature drink without me intending it to) to keep up with the lightweights without drinking litres upon litres. Hence, me not even wanting to know how many units of alcohol I consumed across three solid days of fairly consistent drinking

Also - am I the youngest here, then? ._.

Lmao, I doubt it lol. Although, you're considerably younger than I pegged you being, having just graduated high school. Despite me having gone to college already, I only just turned 24 so I don't think i'm that old yet.

I don't know, I was 17, stupid and in college so I wanted to get shit-faced drunk one time... And I never got there. I chickened out. XD My alcohol tolerance is really low, and I was scared. Lel. I still drink, but it's not a lot. I stop when I can feel this itchy, warm feeling crawling up my throat.

Edit: I hate beer but I drink it anyway. As far as liquor, I have to mix heavy stuff with something otherwise I'll just fall over and never wake up. XD Ocassionally I'll have a shot of Tito's or something.

Second Edit:

You are! I turn 19 this August so I'm not the baby of the group this time! (:

Oh my goodness, all this talk about alcohol and I've only just rolled out of bed! So here's my catch up:

- I'm going to agree with Icc in saying that if you've gotten to the point of just mixing Everclear with everything, that's gotta be rough lol. :3 However, I'm the opposite in the sense that I social drink with Smirnoff and beers but I normally drink liquor as well. Vodka shots usually, but Jack has become my signature drink, I suppose. I really enjoy mixed drinks. I think I'll get a bar tending license at some point woooo~
- Nope, not in a sorority and probably never will be. Being an Acting major, I don't really think I need to join one anyway. And the "party culture" is way too overrated. And probably expensive. I imagine I'd get bored of it rather quickly, anyway.
- Holy.. You've only just graduated high school, Halo? Damn. Yeah, you might be the youngest in this particular game heh. I'm 19, so I'm near Aria haha (happy early birthday btw :D). But no worries! I'm shocked to find you so young because I think your writing is great. Told you you'd be fine in Advanced :)
- Yes, I'm nearly done with my next post as I'd started it yesterday. It should be going up in an hour or two. Atonement is on TV at the moment and it's one of my favorites so I'm a little distracted heheh.

Bliss: WOOO! Theater nerds unite!
And I mean, some soritites and frats are high quality (you have to have a really high GPA and be an overall good student) because they're the "classy" ones that get you plenty of cennections if you go into music, business, etc. but they're very... Elitist, hard to get into, and really expensive. Some of my friends are breaking their wallets to stay in Greek life.

Edit: Pick a fight with Elli, I dare you. She'll be like, "V, girl, hold my earrings."

what on earth is everclear? Is that a weird american word for water?
Personally, I prefer gin when spirits are on offer. Vodka always seemed very tasteless to me idk.

Also Halo- what's your plan for next year? Gap year or straight off to uni?

Everclear is a grain alcohol, sort of like moonshine (alcohol made out of corn). The difference is Everclear is legal while moonshine isn't lol.
Everclear is rough because it literally tastes like shit. It's like 90-95% alcohol, which is why you have to mix it with something else, otherwise you feel like someone is forcing gasoline down your throat lol.

Yep, everything Aria said. Everclear is shit and if you're forced to drink that crap for any reason, well, I can only feel sorry for you and hope you continue living XDD.

Damn these site outages man. I know they're gonna upgrade the servers (saw the thread on it), but it's soooooo.... Annoying, I guess XD.

I'm currently 19 and just graduated high school recently. :P Reason I only now graduated high school has to do with the fact that I was a weird freaking 5 year old. They thought I was mentally disabled for a while lol.

And trust me, I am probably the biggest light weight here. Two mike's hards will get me drunk. Luckily, getting hammered only changes my personality in two ways. Lowered inhibitions and increased affection.

You heard it here folks. After two mike's hards Adorabadass becomes the drunk slut at a party.

Also, d'awww Halo's so cute and young. *ruffles hair*

When I was born, the bones of my skull were already almost fused together (usually there's a hole at the top so the brain can grow), so I had a really small hole and the doctors told my parents that there was a good chance of me having mental retardation if my brain wasn't able to grow correctly within the first year or so. Fast forward 18 years later, and I'm pretty intelligent and I still got a small head. Fuck those doctors mayne.

When I have alcohol in me, I'm the happy drunk. Everything is funny. Fucking everything. And it's the only time I get "pouty" if thigns don't go my way. :D

Christ, I'm only 17. Suppose it's a good thing that I seem older, though. Certainly helps me get served at bars!
Also, Everclear sounds rough as fucking guts. I am, unfortunately, a serious heavyweight and I wouldn't go near that stuff xD

I have a fairly complex financial situation thanks to split parents, so I can't afford to take a gap year. If I could, I'd go to a sixth-form college (equivalent to last two years of high school) and try some other courses, and would reapply to Cambridge next year. As it is, I'm going straight to uni - depending on my grades, either the University of Edinburgh, which is my "insurance" choice, or preferably Imperial College London.

Why, though? I suppose if you're planning to go into an industry in which connections are very important then it might be worth it - sort of like sending your kids to private school - but honestly, I don't understand the attraction of being in one of these groups.
Amis and Elli will almost definitely end up in a wee scrap at some point. Although I would briefly like to say that Amis' views only loosely reflect my own - I'm a lot less intolerant and vitriolic than he is. Usually. :P

When I'm drunk, yes of course I get all affectionate and cuddly. But you can tell I'm really gone if I start getting all inspirational and motivating on people. I literally go around telling people that they should follow what they love, and I've even convinced someone to change their major LOL. I'm quite the handful.

@ Aria: Yes! Although, I didn't even really do any theater until the summer going into senior year of high school hahaha. I'm a late bloomer, but I'm glad that I'm getting into it. It's so great, and I'm so lucky to be in the middle of it in NYC!

Annnd post is up! Should be funny to see their reactions. Have fun :)

NO, Don't have fun until I've posted please lol.

!!!! Just kidding Icc needs to post !!!!!

My bad peeps, just got back from buying the air conditioner. With that set up, on to posting! Give me a few.

Actually, you guys can go ahead and post. Bliss set us all up perfectly and I really don't need to add to it. Of course I'll be posting with Varrina, but it's nothing that has to come first. Also, I just got a call and have to go resolve something for a moment. So I'll have to post when I get back.

For now though, as Bliss said, HAVE FUN, GO FORTH AND POST!!
