[OOC] Woll Manor

[Jig]

Congrats. Looking forward to the post, but I'm on GMT time so it might happen at any magical point in my timeline xD

I may be waylaid for a couple of days. I had an argument with a wasp that decided to get too friendly, and leant on my broken arm when I dodged the stripy bandit and it hurts like hell. There's a chance I'll be smacked out of my head on codeine today as a result, and I'm trying to spend some quality time with Jig's Much-Maligned Partner this weekend as well as visiting a bank and watching Doctor Who (omgomgomgomg) tomorrow and time I do get on RPG will be keeping an eye on my RP next door because it's about to start when I get couple of things in order, so that'll get first shout. I'm sure you know what GMing's like. I'm waiting on one damn character sheet that will directly affect my character's sheet, and my character will be the one that starts the RP, so that needs sorting ASAP.

I'll definitely be free all Sunday, though and there's a decent chance I'll be able to keep on top of reading posts and generally being around the OoC but a proper IC post is unlikely to surface until Sunday.

DONE DONE DONE

Edited the post with our collaboration! :D

[Notorious]

Oh and congratulations Bliss! I am really glad to hear that!

[corneredbliss]

Yay, thank you for the congrats, guys!

@Jig: That's totally okay. Good luck with your game, by the way!

My post is up and done, as well! Sorry for the length, I really didn't expect it to go on that long. But yeah, there's your introduction of the NPCs so far. You can keep the first bit of your reactions to the Manor/NPCs somewhat shorter if you think it's going to be tedious; I'd really rather you put the time and focus into the reactions/appearance of your rooms, what your character does to get ready for the ball, what they're wearing, etc.

*EDIT: @Ginger/Notorious - What cute moments between those two! Love it. I'll just ask, Notorious, that you edit the bit about James exiting after the women to him leaving before Rikki? Just for the sake of making sense of the end bit of Flavia's post.

Congrats, bliss, and awesome awesome awesome posts the 3 of you! I had so much fun reading them. I'll get some writing time saturday. I'd like to say more right right now but I gotta get to work.

[MyCatGinger]

Congratulations, Bliss~ You go get 'em! :3
And thank you so so so much Flavia. <3 And Biggie finally got the post up, yaaay! Thanks to him, too!
And Jig, stop swinging that arm around, damnit...and putting excessive amounts of pressure on it, too. I've actually never really had trouble with bees or even wasps before, They just consciously avoid me. How nice. <<
Actually, I might not be available till Sunday either. I'll be at a friend's tomorrow (Saturday for me, you darned Americans, you), and possibly will get home in the evening on the day after. Hopefully no hitches in the program?

[Callthecops]

Of course, congrats to Bliss! I'm positive you'll knock 'em dead :)
Also, as today is unfortunately my birthday, I plan to spend today purposefully ignoring the terrifying realization that I have officially been alive for two decades... As a result I will not be posting today, and tomorrow is a busy day as well, so like pretty much everyone else, I'll won't really be available till Sunday.

P.S. Amazing posts!

Edit: I haven't mentioned it in a while so I don't blame you for forgetting (I know I would), Big, but Henry put on sunglasses a while ago at the airport, so that no one would come to that conclusion about his little problem (at least not quite so fast :p).

[Jig]

@Notorious, did you tell me whereabouts in the country James would be from?

MyCatGinger said And Jig, stop swinging that arm around, damnit...and putting excessive amounts of pressure on it, too. I've actually never really had trouble with bees or even wasps before, They just consciously avoid me.

I keep forgetting it's ****ed and hurting it just through stupid. Normally I just tell wasps quite sternly where they can shove their spiky arses and they do listen, but I was using my laptop in a dark room so it got very excited by the brightness, which is where I was.

@Call - congratulations! The big two-oh is horrifying.

[AuntFlavia]

Argh...stuck at work. The programs we use to do our jobs have been down for 3 hours now and I'm just sitting here, wishing I was at home so I could at least write. Does this count as being struck by the curse? As far as curses go, being paid to do nothing is pretty tame.

[corneredbliss]

Thank you all for the congratulations! ^^ So let's just most of us reconvene here with posts on Sunday, yeah? Sounds good to me!

@Cal: Happy birthday, mate! Enjoy your festivities, but don't break anything on your body! I think Jig and I have already used up the count for player injuries in this game. Have fun :)

P.S. I like that everyone really has just started calling Notorious by Biggie. That's so great.

*EDIT: That could be counted as half the curse, Flavia. I'm terribly sorry that you have to deal with that. But at least you're getting paid to do nothing, yeah? Hang in there!

[MyCatGinger]

Happy birthday, dear Call...Cops...err. << Confusednicknaming. Cops. Yup. Happy birthday to you! 20 seems like a big achievement, eep.
And you're berry welcome, Bliss! Sunday sounds swell!
And Flavia, that sounds awful to me. ._. Go on strike? Nah. Hang in there! You'll make it, we believe in you!
And Jig, that actually has happened to me before. But with flying insect things. The light is love. The light is life. Take care of yourself, though!
All of you!
And Cops, don't get too...>> Err. Too drunk. Hangovers aren't fun, from what I've heard. But at least it's the weekend. Hm...scratch that. Party away!

EDIT: If inspiration strikes, and nobody has TOO many objections to it, I might just leave a post tonight (the night's still pretty young) before I'm off tomorrow. S'all good, I hope. Especially since Erika has had her fair share of doing things and saying things so far... >>

I had a job like that and it's really really awful. *hugs*

I have a few hours before Jig's Infinitely Generous Partner picks me up for the weekend so I might try to cobble something together if I can stay lucid.

[AuntFlavia]

Happy birthday, cops! Totally forgot to say thatin my boredom. I am litterally typing this in my phone while simultanously spinning in my chair. Ill probably get a post up tomorrow.

[corneredbliss]

Anyone who wants to get a post in before Sunday is more than welcome to do so, of course! It was just the general consensus, so I just figured why not officiate it. I'm actually quite looking forward to reading about how you guys prep for parties and what you'll wear and stuff. (: I myself probably won't be around until tomorrow night either since I'm throwing my own little shindig tonight, but I look forward to seeing what you guys'll put together if you do decide to write something up.

[Jig]

Any time I describe anything Swedish, I'm taking my information directly from this. Keep an eye out for the dancing meatballs and horse-meat scandal references.

[corneredbliss]

HAHA WHAT IS THAT THAT IS FABULOUS

[Jig]

Sweden hosted Eurovision in 2013 and it was just magnificent. The hosts are normally charisma-vacuums with lame jokes but the woman in the video decided to host the show and be the half-time entertainment. She's just spectacular. Then Denmark hosted it this year and I remember nothing about it.

[AuntFlavia]

THAT WAS AWESOME I AM CHEERED UP CONSIDERABLY

[Jig]

Glad to be of service.

[Jig]

Lordy, my posts seem far shorter than everybody else's, but it's definitely not size that matters, right?

Anyhoo, you'll notice the ______ in my post. Insert your character's name there if you fancy a collab post and you want to rescue your character from a roomful of gorgeous Swedes.
