Honey Put On That Party Dress.....(RL and RP Post)

[said_scarlett]

Okay, actual update time!

Holy fuck. It's 2:30, and I'm exhausted. Like ready to fall asleep exhausted. I think I did doze off watching a movie I've seen a dozen times, actually. I haven't even finished unpacking, I have no clean clothes to the point where I'm wearing my autographed Twisp and Catsby (PA) shirt because it's the only thing clean. That isn't a giant sweater, but it's 85 degrees.

My uncle went home this morning. He didn't even say goodbye last night, to me at least, he just left before I was awake. Classy. But he did take us out to dinner last night, and it was...really good. The food was delicious, and finally! A mexican restaurant that understand when I say 'just cheese and sauce' I mean 'just cheese and sauce'. I don't mean 'just cheese and sauce and the onions, tomatoes and peppers that are also in the dish but not listed on the menu'. I had these amazingly yummy little chicken taco things, on the most delicious tortillas I've ever had. And delicious refried beans, and Spanish rice, and since it was my uncle's dime, I ordered dessert. I don't even particularly like cheesecake that much, but it was the most expensive dessert on the menu so I went for it. I ate the delicious strawberry topping, and my dad ate the actual cheesecake. I also had a bite of my mother's flan, and it was to die for. We ended up buying a bottle of their homemade salsa, too, because it was that delicious.

For those of you who have not heard the stories of my uncle, there is a reason that we order the expensive food when he pays. He's very wealthy, and shares his wealth liberally with random waitresses - including buying one of his regular waitresses a bracelet that cost $1,500, just because he thought she'd like it, not even for her birthday or Christmas - but never gives us any money, even when we're struggling to get by. He also uses my parent's house as a hotel, eats their food, uses their gas, water, electricity, etc and just assumes that whatever we have is his as well. And never says thank you.

I have a lasagna in the oven, and I need to do laundry. The washing machine is finally free, but I feel like I've melted into the couch and can't get up.

In RP news, jumped back into damned since NS has started. Tamaki's got the clinic going, Eileen is still trying to grasp what's going on, Lust will be burying her sorrow in killing things and clinging to Gluttony, and I believe Valyn and co are going after files tonight!

Am still enjoying CU, it's a great break from damned. Not that I'm saying I need a break, just...something lighter. Not so much doom and angst and massive, massive thinking. I've only got two characters, and they're easy and it's a more open scenario. It's a good balance. And oh, the web of lies and manipulation! If Dante weren't already kind of in hell, I'd say she was so going to hell. She's screwed if any other FMA characters show up, though. It'd be hard to play the poor, grieving, bereft mother/widow/whatever with people spilling her real story.

Henry is still bumbling along, getting used to being a social creature, and trying to untangle his overly-complex feelings about Eileen. I kind of want to shake him and yell 'you like her, you idiot, that's all there is too it!'. But it's Henry, and he overthinks things. He's also dealing with the OMG!PANIC! of Walter showing up. He still needs to sit down and have his chat with Alessa, too. He is a busy, busy boy!

ReWritten folks - chaneystarr, ranchangrnl, chocomimi! I think there's only...um...well, I've only got two threads planned for pre-fete. One with Valyn and Lorryn, one with Rena and Keman? I don't know if there are any other threads planned, but.... When chocomimi's back and settled in, shall we move on over there?

YES PLEASE! I've missed it! XD

Also Shana and Shadow are already in the Main Hall chillin and waiting to see if anyone else is going to join them. I made a post in my LJ earlier with the link. I wasn't sure if you were back yet or not XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA OKAY!

Ack, okay! I thought they were meeting in Valyn's room, whoops! I'll...move everyone's favorite prissy Elven Lord over there ASAP!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

*glomps you* Shana has been most impatient, hahaha.

She hadn't talked to them all day (or for several days) so she didn't know what they were doing so she started out on her own, and then figured she'd better wait a few minutes to see if anyone else showed up, so they couldn't yell at her if she went by herself >.>

She lit a magelight, though to make her easy to find if they WERE out and about.

[notmyfather.livejournal.com]

I BET!

Hahah, yeah, I was basically MIA this dayshift, with everything going on. I'll have Valyn follow her magic to them, then! He's healed up enough to be actually useful out and about, finally!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

YAY! :D She will be glad to see him.

[notmyfather.livejournal.com]

And hey, he's in a good mood! All...sexed up and everything. :D

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She says TMI!!! But she's glad he's in a good mood. XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

HA! Oh, yeah, sure, TMI. Like she isn't trying to vividly imagine everything herself... ;)

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She coughs and looks innocent and says ....she wouldn't know where to start. Unless he'd like to start enlightening her? *bats eyelashes*

[notmyfather.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SHE WISHES!

Okay, should I post off of Shadow's last comment? Valyn has reached the entry hall!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, she so does. Even if she'd never admit it. XD

Sure! Go ahead. She says he's not allowed to yell at her for LOOKING for monsters. >.>

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

We all know. VALYN IS AWKWARD AND CONFUSED, HE CANNOT HELP IT! He's trying.

THERE! You has a Valyn! And he says he so can. She's his...sister-girlfriend-thing, he can yell at her for putting herself in danger!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

He is. It's a start? XD

She says she's his WHAT? XD And says he should make up his mind. Although they do sort of defy any sensible lines of relationships. XD She says don't yell at her anyways. She has a very pointy stick and she knows how to use it.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

IT IS!

Valyn says he doesn't know what the hell you call it when you're making romantic overtures towards your younger sister! He doesn't think there's a word for that! And she's not quite his girlfriend, so she's a...sort of girlfriend-thing. Who is also his sister. THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES HIS HEAD HURT!

Valyn says she wouldn't dare use her pointy stick on him.

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She offers to massage his head for him? XD

She says it's not a good idea to dare redheaded females. The results are never pleasant.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Valyn is not sure if that is a good idea or a bad idea. :D

Valyn says he's not daring her. Besides, it's in her best interest not to accost him with a pointy thing! Isn't his porcelain perfect skin marred enough as it is? Doesn't she want him to be pretty?!?!?

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

Shana says she'll behave! Mostly.

She says he's too pretty for his own good.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Valyn says she'd probably like him a lot less if he weren't as pretty. Since he knows she's not drawn solely to his sparkling personality. ;)

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She gasps and says he has a sparkling personality??? :O

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

VALYN SAYS HE CAN BE SPARKLING IN THE PERSONALITY DEPARTMENT WHEN HE DAMN WELL FEELS LIKE IT!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

*dead*

She says he should feel like it more often, then :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Valyn says maybe if she gave him a reason to feel like it more often....

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She says he's the irritable one! What should she do, dance around naked? wait, he'd probably like that. Or die of mortification. Shadow would definitely like it, however

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Valyn says he is not irritable! He is...mature and logical and responsible! Shana just can't understand and calls him irritable! He's Very Pleasant! AND THAT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She calls him irritable because he often IS. At least with her. And now she's pondering doing that just to see what reaction she'd get. She's sure one of the harem girls could teach her an entertaining dance.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Valyn says he's not irritable, she's irritating! Cause and effect! And he says save that for ReWritten. ;)

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She says she isn't. And she might do that! Doomed Valyn is doomed. XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

He says she is. She irritates him quite frequently. VALYN SAYS HE WAS JUST TEASING PLEASE NO NAKED DANCE HE CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH!

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She says that's because he's irritable to begin with :D

EXACTLY! She needs to overwhelm this maidenly shyness of his. XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

He says he is not.

HE IS NOT MAIDENLY SHY! HE JUST HAS ISSUES WITH WANTING TO DO HIS SISTER!

(Sorry it took me so long to reply, I just had the weirdest experience ever.)

[chaneystarr.livejournal.com]

She disagrees.

SHE SAYS GET OVER THEM! THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED! IT'S A MOOT POINT!

(Oooh?)

[ranchangrnl.livejournal.com]

How bad is it taht Shadow is watching this with popcorn to see who will win the argument? He's stopped being concerned with the bickering. It's entertainment!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

It seriously is, since neither one of them ever actually win, they just go around in circles constantly. :D Valyn says Shadow could always help him out, though. ;)

[ranchangrnl.livejournal.com]

Shadow says he doesn't need help. He's doing quite fine on his own. :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Valyn says he's pretty sure when he descends to calling one of the objects of his affection 'irritating', he needs a little backup. :D

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

*snickers about CU* Oh yes, the joys of that game (I am quite enjoying it). It'll be interesting if someone does show up and starts telling it like it really is XD (Dante will be so screwed).

Hopefully Henry calms down some, otherwise he's going to drive himself nuts.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

HUZZAH! I can't wait to actually play with you! Yeah, I'm seriously wondering if that will ever happen. FMA's popularity has died down a bit....

He's on his way there. After Kain gave him a verbal smack in the face to snap him out of his hysteria and reminded him that people look up to him to be the reasonable and level-headed one, he got a grip. And confessing everything to Will helped him some, too. He's determined not to let Walter rule his life. Not here.

Of course very soon he's going to have other stuff to worry about... ;)

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they will meet at some point, being who Glitch's roommate is and all that jazz XD. And yes, FMA has died down a lot (I'm sorta staying away from playing any canon characters myself. Although I have an OC I might bring in later).

Oh? Other stuff? Poke me if you wanna tell me outside of LJ XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! Henry is over at that apartment often. Not only does his best friend live there, but there's a big screen TV and espresso machine! All he has are trees! Trees do not make him delicious cups of caffeinated goodness. Yeah, Dante may well be safe for a while. She's trying to keep up her mostly harmless appearance while still letting her own side know not to fuck with her. It's a delicate line to walk.

Mwahahaha, yes, we're doing some plotting. :D It's nothing that huge, Sal's just going to be stirring up some trouble. :D

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

Well knowing Dante, her ego might get the better of her down the line.

LOL How did Glitch end up in such a swanky place XD? (That's IF he ever makes it there)

And Uh oh.... LOL Well if you do feel up to chatting, let me know

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, her ego is definitely going to be her downfall. she's too used to being in charge, and having people do what she says.

Hahahaha, yeah, he is in the swanky place! It's like a penthouse apartment, basically. (I'm sure Metatron will lend a hand if he needs it!)

I'm making dinner right now, but I should be around this evening!

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

And I doubt most of those guys are going to let her boss them around (Maybe Light will let her play boss for a while after Lucifer is done with him XD).

It's going to be interesting to see how things pan out when he finally gets to Asgard; I don't even have any plans of what to do with him once that happens :o

Sure, just poke me via LJ if you want me to hop on Gchat for a bit

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's got Light who seems content to play the follower for now, but that's about it. That's going to be an epic game of attempting to manipulate each other. :D

Yes! Hopefully he can make it there for the party! He should. Because that would be awesome, from what little I have seen of him. :D

OKAY! When I am on, I shall ping you!

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

Party but the cake is a lie

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I'm having so much fun at CU I'm thinking of looking for another rp to join.

But I don't think I'd shlep Frank and all his backstory anywhere else; he's too special!

I almost apped as Maria from SH2 at one place though.

Or I could create an OC. Usually my original fic is very short but it's tempting. I started a psychiatrist I might do something with.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

HURRAH! RP is insanely addicting. :D There's plenty of them out there, too!

Hahah, Frank is special. Luckily, we've got the exclusive at CU!

We've had a smattering of SH characters at the game I run, but sadly they all left the game due to RL constraints. And you know, I've been doing pan-fandom so long, I forgot there were fandom-specific games. Now I'm kind of tempted to look around at SH games, because I know I've seen advertisements for a couple around. Just out of curiosity.

You could! I really like the OCs at CU, they're good characters.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

They really are! I'm terribly fond of Dorian especially and so is Frank.

My friend was running an SH game... I wonder if she still is.
