Sorry to be holding everyone up! It's been a very rough few days for me, so I fell a little behind in my writing. Cadie's part is done, Buck's is in progress. I'll have it posted by the time I go to bed tonight! GM's not supposed to hold up the roleplay!! >.<

BUT. Bad as the past few days have been, I spent all day at the barn today. And since you all seem interested...

Maiden And Her Horse

I have been riding horses since I was ten. My Mom has been riding almost as long as she's been alive: her aunt used to carry her around on the horse as a toddler. So the second I showed interest, Mom was thrilled. I started lessons, and once I'd shown that I was really dedicated two years later, Dad bought Mom and I a little bay mare named Jessie. We had Jessie for three years before I outgrew her, and we were moving from Florida to New Mexico anyway, so we sold Jessie.

When we got to New Mexico, we found a new barn with a great trainer, so we needed a new horse. We bought Charlie from a horse trader in NM, and Charlie was actually born in Mexico. He's got a great big brand on his left thigh to prove it. He was a Western horse, barely broke to English, and the two of us learned pretty much everything together. I'd just started jumping, and Charlie was really great at it. He was just a great horse overall: smart, calm, and sweet-natured. I did Cross-Country, Jumping, and Hunter-Jumper on him. Mom rode him on the trails. When I went off to college his show career was pretty much over, but Mom and I took turns riding him while I finished school and got married. I don't have kids, and while I was getting divorced Mom had gone back to college, so I took over with Charlie. When Mom graduated, she got a fabulous new job and could afford to get and keep another horse. So, she got a Rocky Mountain Horse mare named Opal. Now we trail ride together every weekend.

Charlie's too old to do any more jumping, but I'm no spring chicken myself so our weekly walks around the neighborhood suit me just fine. That horse is one of my best friends, and I don't know what I'd do without him. I'm forever indebted to my Mom for making sure we kept him all these years. When we moved from New Mexico to Alabama, we brought him with us. She told me once that Charile's gonna be our horse until he's not a horse anymore. I cried. Thanks for reminding me that humans live longer, Mom!! Charile's 26 this year!

Did someone say pictures?

This is my Charile. He's wearing his blankie cuz it's December outside and he's an old fella. He always has to smell my camera/phone/whatever when I try to take a picture.



This is Opal, Mom's new mare. She poses for photos.



And this is the view from the top.



I'd say you guys could come ride with me... but I'm pretty sure you all live too far away.

Now, back to work on my post! It will be ready SOON.

Twisted Redux

Pumirya is right, the cake is a lie, and food is not a happy place for me. My happy place is out at the barn with my horse, so I will probably spend a lot of time out there this week. ;)

Twisted Redux

Mmkay, so, lovely posts, everyone! I was gonna have Cadie talk to Rak, but since Vampiric has beat me to it, I suppose I'll have to find something else for Cadie to do.

It looks like I'm due for a post again! Cadie's part was mostly written but now it needs some edits lol, and I haven't started Buck's part though I know exactly what I want to do with him. It will be up Sunday night at the very latest.

I just kind of want to give everyone a little heads-up: I am going to be on vacation from work next week, and my birthday is next Friday. If I seem a little distant and am not talking much on the OOC this coming up week, please forgive me: I tend to get a bit depressed and withdrawn around my birthday.

Other Information:

Not really sure what to say here. I'm an American female, I've been writing as long as I can remember, and I've been roleplaying in one form or another for many a year. I like bacon, naps, zombie lore, cupcakes, my Chihuahua, reading books, sushi, pickles, music, espresso and cigarettes. Although I seem to be getting better lately at keeping my posts to a manageable length, I am a notorious long-poster. I loved to use colors and fonts, and it drives me nuts that I can't anymore!! (Please, o great and powerful Mahz, your people beseech thee for moar post formatting options!)

When I'm not writing, I'm riding my horse or working at my job... or doing laundry, or some other such menial thing.

Twisted Redux

@ Syblyx: Yeah, that point kind of got lost. We all assumed you were put out over Rak being called angry, not confused about whether or not it was him. LoL sorry.

Poor Kally, everyone seems to be out to scare Nell. Unfortunately for everyone else, Buck is the one who's got Nell's attention right now and what he does to freak her out will also help her to feel more comfortable. (Or so he hopes.)

I really want to write my post RITE NAO. I have so many ideas floating around in my head! I'm forcing myself to wait as long as possible, however, because I will probably get more ideas when Vampiric, Oblivion and Pumirya put up their posts! It's just sooooo hard to wait! XD You can't tell I'm excited about this roleplay or anything, right? Lulzies.

Twisted Redux

@ Syblyx: You know, a lot of the time I get accused of looking angry when I'm only deep in thought. I tell people that's because I was thinking and thinking hurts sometimes, and we all get a good laugh, and I die a little inside. Rak is just concentrating on doing that weird shadowy-thing with his legs, so he looks like he's mad. And probably because he's still a little miffed at Kyle. I'd look angry too, so don't take it personally. ;)

Just a little heads-up to the thread in general: I am intending to use my own posts to mark each "round" of the IC. Once Oblivion, Vampiric and Pumirya have posted, I'll post again and then you'll all post another. (If Pumirya goes dark we're going to assume his computer crashed and we'll move on without him. He's capable of catching up in one post so long as he's back on before the next deadline.)

Twisted Redux

All set, Kalleh m'dear! :) I <3 eet!!

LoL at Sasha biting the nurse all casual-like. Oh you wanna give me a shot? OMNOMNOMNOM. (See also: Ace Ventura)

I love the stares Jax is getting. Y'all are gonna make him paranoid... ;)

@ Elsa: Mmmm, Othello. Tasty. You've got plenty of time for a post, it's only been three days since I put up the IC so everyone's still got seven days to turn in a post!

@ Pumirya: I'm sorry to hear about your computer! Mine died last summer, it was a laptop and the charger connection shorted out. I had to replace it. :( I hope you can save all your files! If you're quiet on the post deadline, we'll move on without you, but you should be able to catch up in the next round of posts without a problem.

@ Black Butler Comments:

Not Related To Twisted

I loved the first season of Black Butler. Syblyx, I agree that Grell (the red-haired reaper I assume you're talking about) is pretty annoying with his adoration of Sebastian. It's actually more disappointing for me because, after his sick tryst with Madam Red, he had so much potential to be a really dark character. And then he's lame the whole rest of the series. Boo. But, Grell's not nearly as annoying as Lizzy. (I wish she had died horribly in the second episode.)

I hated the second season. It's all... just... ridiculous. Claude, Alois and Hannah suck and should be punished. Lizzy still doesn't die. The plot was total garbage. The only redeeming quality is that it still has Undertaker in it. In case you couldn't tell, he's my favie from the series.



I haven't read the manga yet. It's on my list but... low on the list lol!

Twisted Redux

The two of you can keep Sebastian. I only have one thing to say about Black Butler.

And that is
