dead i am the D O G ; H O U N D of hell, you cry

This must be the longest sandstorm I have seen. I do hope everyone has found shelter by now.

[Yeah, this one hasn't left his room, really.]

[Private]

I wonder if they will arrive at any moment. It seems even the sandstorm has not stopped arrivals. Though, if any one of them were to arrive, what would happen?

So many plots, theories, and ideas. The game will certainly become quite interesting, at the very least.

KAY. SO I HAVEN'T BEEN VERY ACTIVE HERE. I don't have an excuse, sorry for the thread drops. And...I have no idea what's going on with this plot. They're not exactly my forte. Anyway, I'm taking an official hiatus because my ravaging banana Significant Other is coming into town for the holidays and I plan and spending it with family rather than online. :3

Hiatus will last for two weeks until 5 January, about, unless I get Rianapped away to Anime LA. I know a few people in town are going but I don't want to be a mooch so I might be gone that weekend if I get Kurisumasu moneyz for it. Only affects Korea, this here pervert.

EDIT Godmod rights go to the Hetalia Asians. If you need to reach me for any reason while I'm on hiatus, my AIM is connected to my phone so you can still reach me at riatardedness. That's all now~

Shamelessly stolen from formulanekotic, the original post is here.

The Mistletoe with a Twist Meme

❄ There's mistletoe everywhere. Everywhere. You're character is underneath it now.

❄ Once underneath it with someone else they are stuck in place until they do one of two things:

Kiss or Tell a secret about themselves.

❄ It doesn't matter who tells their secret, initiates the kiss, etc.
Whenever it happens they're 'free'... Until the next incident.

❄ Do not try and destroy the mistletoe. It won't work and bad things will happen.
(See: Burning, freezing, electrocuting, and biting. Yes. It bites. )

❄ THIS CAN HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE SAME PAIR:
Threadjacking, 'leaving and coming back', etc, can have the process repeat even if they've already done it before.

Definition of Kissing in the broad sense is when lips (or tongue if you're an animal... AND ONLY ANIMALS--Jake, Tails, Sonic, Prussia, be good with this rule!) meet bare skin. That means cheek, forehead, hand, and such being kissed are all good n' legal (not that your characters will know). Eskimo kisses (nose to nose) and blown kisses are not.


---


I-if there is another festive-type meme in mind please let me know and I will remove this one, I just felt like it'd been a while since we'd had a spam meme and this seemed cracky and festive.

Spam lots, mingle, make it cracky and have fun ;D ♥

Characters: Xanxus (fridgeburnt) and Zenjirou Kasai (firebrands)
Location: Bitch's Brew Bar, may move out of there later on
Rating: PG13 because of Xanxus; might move up if violence escalates
Time: evening before the sandstorm!
Description: So Kasai and Xanxus meet in a bar, and in the course of the night they figure out that unfortunately, they make a good pair. :|

( the point of it all ....  )

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~CK. From hiatus. Which means Lavi is BACK IN ACTION (whatever is left anyways...) Could anyone be so kind as to update me as to what has happened as of recent? On that related note any that want to be continued or Lavi's presence is needed in PLEASE TELL ME HERE. Just... link me and I'll get to them ASAP. /keels over

Good day to you all!

I'm Nataku, and I'm completely new to the community, thanks to having more free time with University off for winter break. I'll be bringing in Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII to play around with everyone, and he's just as big of a dork as people who played the original game remember him as. He's actually post-game, and I generally only include the game canon into him.

Yes, I know his icons are Advent Children! *sob* They are the only source outside of doujinshi and fanart where he has actual expressions and more than toothpicks for elbows!

I really look forward to RPing with everyone, and please feel free to hit me up for some RP opportunities. He'll probably be confused, a bit of an ass (because he's confused), but he's got a good heart and a willingness to beat stuff up. :D Generally, I'm not on AIM much, so email or PMing through LJ is the best way to get a hold of me. I try to check my email regularly who am I kidding? I'm an email addict. :/, so don't be afraid to send me one.

Cheers!
~Nataku

Secret Santa Prompts

Hello guys! Remember this?

I think we have a fair number of people now, so time to get rolling!

If there is anyone else who is interested in hopping on board, particularly our newbies, then you can do so in this post right here!

Basically this post is so that people can give at least 3 different prompts, and a general idea of what they like/dislike so that their Santa has something to go off of. I'll keep this up for a week, and after that week I will do a random hat drawing to assign everyone their Santa. Santas will be LJ PMED their gift-person and will have until February 15th (yes I know that isnt exactly Christmas but oh well 8D;) to complete their gifts and we shall have an unveiling!

I also have a request! If at all possible I'd like at least two other people to help me as back up Santas just in case someone is unable to complete a gift. That way we can ensure everyone gets something :3


<b>Name:</b> <b>General Likes:</b> <b>General Dislikes:</b> <b>Highest Rating:</b> <b>Prompt 1:</b> <b>Prompt 2:</b> <b>Prompt 3:</b>

Excuse me, but has anyone seen Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee today? I know they're missing, but I thought I saw them on the network before. I was stuck in the storm though, and my communicator wasn't working very well. Please, can somebody tell me? Are they alright?

Hello! I'm Ozzy, and not only am I fresh meat to the game, but I'll be bringing not only one, but two characters along with me.

The first is this cheerful dork -points to icon- he's Shibuya Yuuri from the series Kyou Kara Maou, and while he looks all cute and innocent, he's definitely got a knack for getting himself into a lot of trouble >_>;;

The second character I'm picking up here is none other than the dear ex-General, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII ♥ he's taken from after his defeat in Advent Children Complete, so he'll be wonderfully evil and nasty did I happen to mention sexy as well?.

I'm definitely looking forward to RPing with you all! Feel free to hit me up on AIM (ozzypoos81) anytime! I'm not on it more often than not lately, but that's because I work in retail and the Christmas season is sucking up almost all of my time and energy. There is only two more weeks of hell though, and then I'll be around a lot more :D

Umz... I can't think of much else to say I'm always terrible at these things

It's nice to meet you all!

Good evening, Soul Campaign, there is wonderful news. Death City just got a hell of a lot more fabulous!

*coughs* I mean. My name is Kaji and I am bringing you Sano Yasuyoshi from Air Gear. He is sparkly, fabulous, and will be touching on your young menfolk as soon as he can. c: He's generally pretty friendly, if...arrogant as all hell, so feel free to hit him up at tomarimase.

I hope to have fun here and meet you all--although I already know a couple of you. 'Sup, Ri, Pelt? Thank you for having me!

Oh, yeah, great. At least I finally got the door shut again. I am not sweeping that up. I'm still very confused and upset about this whole situation, and this storm is definitely not endearing me to the desert at all. I barely even know where I am... Where is everyone? Damsel in distress, here!

Hiii guys~ My kanji final is over. I actually have one more but it's so easy by comparison that I practically consider myself on break already~ So yeaaah. Ai Ebihara will be bitching soon enough.

Anything I should be aware of? Like, is that sand storm still going on?

Good Morning, Soul Campaign though I guess it's night aw man I've already messed this up I guess you didn't have enough Commie Fiber in your diet or something because yeah, guess who's here to give you a complete and healthy Proletariat Breakfast.

...I mean probably not Russia unless you want to stand in line for 5 hours for it.


But if you just really wanted your box of Anti-Borgeois pretend that's how you pronounce it okay or just want to mangle me for making such a terrible intro post, you can ask for Orange at the third office behind The Hanging Capitalist or just IM me at Sovetskoye or email me at hipposkhloros@gmail.com~ what is life and what is this icon even--

Secret Post 386

You know what this community needs?

( Me. So I'm posting again. )

[1] It's called texting.
[1] ... 'kay.

It also needs more secrets, so work on that.

Hello everybody! I'm unable to learn my lesson about the dangers of Dear Mun Len, and I'm so new I'm practically raw.

Today I'm bringing you Cuba from Axis Powers Hetalia. He's a communist, but is actually very friendly if you aren't America (or look like him).

My AIM is Zangordie, and if that doesn't work my personal journal's singing_monk.

I can't wait to play with you all, and uh. Yeah. ;A;b

Aah, it's been such a long time since I've been in a comm-based game. I missed it.

[ The focus is on a rather weary face, brows knitted in a frown most thoughtful. The picture is fitful, interrupted by that electronic snow and static of poor reception. The room, the ceiling visible beyond that is a little on the dark side, dim, blinds drawn and all. ]

--rogane's safe, Souj-- Returned to the Communa--

I'll be ba-- down to help in a few. Just need to catc-- breath.

[ That would seem to be the end of the transmission, from the way the PDA is set down, the screen folded closed. But not quite. Not completely closed, the thing keeps recording, focused on the table it sits on and a sliver of floor beyond the table's edge.

A view of scuffed shoes, moving away, the steady sound of footsteps, before the unmistakable creak of a body flinging itself into a chair. More silence, a few soft scrapes, the flick of a lighter. And, within the moment, that little click and hiss of a canned beverage being opened.
The following sigh is a quiet one, all the more so with that distance factored on in. ]

--ko. Nana--

Oh G--- my little gir--

[ A sound, an odd, static-ridden crackle, and then the clatter of a still-full can striking the floor. The can in question rolls into view but a second later, before the larger, much heavier crash sounds out.

It's followed by a rather loud yell indeed. And the unmistakable rumble of an explosion. ]

( I hate how useless I feel right now, being stuck inside and not being able to do anything to help while so many things are happening all at once. I wish I could do something more than just sitting and waiting... )

Attention everyone,

Death City Heights is now set up and prepared to take in anyone who needs food and shelter from the storm. While there won't be much medical assistance available to those severely injured we'll do the best we can to help.

There's more than enough space to accommodate people, so don't hesitate to come in if we're the nearest relief station.

*appears before she has to crawl back to work...again*

Hello fellow soul campaigners..I am sorry I'm such a fail mun right now but work is all: OH HAI..YOU WORK TODAY AGAIN. Me:...:|....*hate*

so! No hiatus just a kind request if anyone can give me a summary of whats been up with your lovely characters. :)

Prussia-san and England-san are safely in Rockbell-san's care.

[Screened to Germany]
Some changes in group membership has occurred; will be teaming up with China-san's group. Doitsu-san, is there any location we can be most effective?
[/Screened]

GUYS. I managed to enable one of the most talented people I know into drawing SC art for me. 8D She gave me permission to post it up here. >_<)

( Huhuhuhu. )

Bonjour~
In light of current events I believe it is about time that I become involved, even if it may be just a small part of my time... I assure you it will be something I am sure you all will cherish for the rest of your lives~. And I believe it will be able to help a great many of you.

Mes amis~ I am willing to open my doors (regardless of the fact that it is but an apartment) and feed who ever is in need of nourishment. In case you need me to repeat myself, I will gladly do so.

I, France, am opening my doors to the hungry.

I encourage any to come~.

HEY SOUL CAMPAIGNERS. Just letting you all know I haven't died or anything in the depths of northern Florida's swamps. (Though phone reception is still hell /shakes fist) I'm still stuck on the family computer for the moment.

The good news? I got the scanner to work and photobucket to cooperate (this computer runs on windows ME not even kidding) and now I will share a few artses with you!

( Warning: These are probably huge because I couldn't retain the patience with the computer to resize them down. Apologies. )

Having a spot of internet troubles with my laptop! Which means Im stuck on the family PC which doesn't have AIM, and I'm not allowed to download :(

I'll still be around for tagging though, and it should be cleared up soon ish? I dunno why I'm having said troubles since yesterday it was fine xD but figured I might as well put this up here just in case.

Because I highly doubt I'll finish this in time for xmas with the amount of other work I have...here, have a preview of what I was doing up until 6am in the morning :|b I swear I'll change the picture to Souji and Rise's dance...arrggghhh

( Wtf man...wtfff )

OW.

Gaaaaaiz. Surgery went well, aside from needing to spend an extra night in the hospital. +_+ Ew. Well, in any case. I've been home since yesterday, things are alright. I'm stable. Just............ in a crapload of pain. So continuing the hiatus because I have no want to sit on the computer. Feels gross. Just wanted to let you know I was alive. Thanks for all the well-wishes. ♥

I'll try to check some more stuff later.

owowowow ::crawls back to bed::

Edit: BASIL AND WATSON = GREATEST DETECTIVE TEAM EVER. I'm tickled!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey game. I'm going to my FIRST CON EVAR this weekend, and I have to stain a costume all day tomorrow, so I'll be gone pretty much for four days-ish if it all goes well and this con doesn't suck like my friend said it did last time SO HERE'S HOPING plus my crush will be there so yeah. This just goes for Lisa; I'll be v. scarce for taqs after tonight, sorry Frankie and Doc.\

\oo\

Hey y'all. An missive coming courtesy of some clever person on my flist: apparently Livejournal is currently doing a holiday promotional thing.

It works like this--if you are a paid (or permanent) account holder, you have ten 10$ coupons that can be given as gifts to other users for discounts on paid account time. They cannot be used to renew current paid accounts, but they can be used to upgrade to paid accounts at a discounted rate.

So instead of a paid account costing $19.95/year (on auto-pay) or $25/year (on manual payments), you can get one for $9.95 or $15 respectively.

Now I figure that some of us have paid accounts for our character journals, but some may not yet have them but may want them. And a lot of us paid account users probably have more of these vouchers than we can use ourselves, so why not spread the love around, yeah?

If you want one of these coupons (or if you have some that you'd like to offer to others) just leave a comment here. First come, first served and all that jazz but since I've got like 50 of the things between my own paid accounts, I don't anticipate running out any time soon.

HELLO, SOUL CAMPAIGNIANS ♥

Skyler and I have have returned from our very hectic and incredibly exciting weekend and are now in the process of catching up on tags and whatnot.

So coming off semi-hiatus are my two white-haired types,Heine and Allen, and Skyler's long-haired types (because clearly characters are classed only by their hair in Goaf-logic), Kanda and Badou.

If you get very belated tags from the two of us, that would be be why.

What did we miss? :)

Secret Post 385

So secret 3 and secret 8 walk into a bar, and the bartender asks 'why so blue'?

( ... What? Your secrets just ain't that funny. Sorry! )

[ 1 ] Get yourself a map, why don'tcha?
[ 1 ] Pulled a disappearing act!

C'mon, I know you can do better, so hurry up and prove it!

Characters: Crane (amygdalanalytic) and Lisa (notmytomorrow)
Location: The hospital.
Rating: PG? PG-13? Idek.
Time: During the sandstorm, but after the doctor gets his ass metaphorically kicked by sand.
Description: So perhaps his initial hypothesis was wrong; this really wasn't a dream. In that case, a wealth of new questions are raised for Shibusen's new, very own scarecrow. And Shibusen's very own crazy ass nurse might be able to "help" him out.

( troubles will increase by two )

[ooc: Taking place while the linked log is going on, with permission of course.]

Hey guys! I'm going to be taking a two week long hiatus because...

I'M GOING TO ENGLAND

...............

No, I'm not, actually. But wouldn't that be cool? I could find Helen and we could run around having adventures with Italy and Watanuki.♥

No. I'm having surgery tomorrow. A lot less fun. 8I There's a slight possibility my recovery won't last two weeks, but... you know. Just playing it safe. Certainly, for a while, I'll just be on painkillers and won't be able to check anything. Please, don't worry. It's not anything serious, like a horrible sickness! That's not what's going on at all. I'm sure I'll be fine and dandy after it's done. But I'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

This. Of course I'm very scared. But I'm really sad to leave you guys for so long, especially during a critical plot. You guys have been so wonderful lately~ Really keeping me happy in a scary time. When I return, I'll hopefully be ready to app another character (or two). Love you guys.

Affects notexcalibur, miarrendo, pointyheadsama.

Huzzah! I have finished everyone's cluck icons, and you can see them all here! Now, I have shown quite a few people their icons in chat already, but even if you have already seen yours I recommend you take another look here. Mostly because I have often done multiple versions and I may have not bothered to link to all of them.

If I've forgotten anyone, or you missed the sign-up post and would desperately like one too, just comment here and let me know. Have at it, guys!

( Cluck cluck cluck... )

Characters: Belarus and Lisa Garland. Oh boy, THIS'll be fun.
Location: Shibusen Hospital
Rating: I'mma say R for Belarus' mouth and general wtfery and crazy.
Time: During the Sandstorm, Lisa's fifth day in the slammer
Description: After Lisa TRIES to help and things get catty, Belarus takes refuge in the hospital since Lisa said something about her precious brother glorious nation of Russia possibly being there. She was trying to get her to safety, mmhmm. The claws are about to come out. Mreow!


( So you think that you're pretty? )

[The video feed begins to Belarus crouching in a doorway, trying to hold her hair out of her face as sand billows around her.]

Br-- brother--!! No--!

[Whatever she says next just turns into a buzz of static. The feed suddenly cuts out as she starts to cough, choking on the sand.]

Heya peeps,

Probably should have posted this a couple days ago, since we're already a bit thin on the ground, but Ghost and I have a really busy weekend and then a big event thinger happening early next week. So we're going to be largely MIA until round about Tuesday or so. A few tags might filter in from us between now and then, but expect both of us to be even slower than usual.

Affects Kanda, Badou (mine)
and Heine, Allen (Ghost's).

[all one will see is the endless stream of sand. And the sound of the sandstorm blowing. Teddie is nowhere to be seen, but there are three claws poking out from the sands in front of the communicator, close enough to be discernible and visible.]

[OOC: So um. Guess who failed big time?]

YOU PEOPLE SEEM TO ENJOY GAGALOO A LOT.


so I'm going to make icons for those who want them x:


rules:
-I'll do three images per mun or one per character you have. I'm looking at you, Eme, and everyone else with lots of characters.
-I won't do a pre-existing icon that was made by someone unless it's a base and they say you can do whatever with it.
-????
-become Fame Monsters/profit!
-credit bialleyhoos if you want to?



any takers~~~?

Assistance needed, two injured.

[SOS signal starts, same location as England's earlier SOS, response to this thread.]

So I'll be going on another semi-hiatus until next Friday (12-18) because I not only have exams THIS Friday but also next Friday. While few there may be I still must study my knickers off. I'll be around on AIM and will check around now and then for updates but other than that don't expect much.

For Group 2 activities I'll come around and poke my nose in for those but again, don't expect super activity until next Friday-ish. If anyone needs me you can email me or IM me (both on Lavi's journal).

This affects Liar Liar Lavi ♥

[In contrast to the hectic posts flooding the DEMISE network as of late, this one starts with a slightly askance view of what appears to be a sleeping girl's shoulder. This scene remains in place for a minute or so before she stirs, rolling over to reveal her face and a splay of auburn hair. Reluctantly, she stretches and opens her eyes before getting up and padding about the room, clearly not yet fully awake. Rubbing her eyes, she takes a quick peek outside the window... Only to jump back in surprise at the sight of a full-blown sandstorm.]

This isn't Soul Society...

[She seems to remember something at last and trots back over to the bed, peering down at her device curiously. She taps the screen a few times before realizing that the feed is already on.]

Hello? Is anybody there?

[OOC: Forgive my fail, I've had a really long day. orz Just as a quick note, I'd like to direct the attention of those who know Bleach to this post, as it clarifies the point in canon she's from.]

Amer--[Static] you're no--[Some more static] if this is -- I'm telling--

[She knew that there was a sandstorm outside of the casual commons. The moment she woke up in the building, she decided to open the door and give America a piece of her mind. She was going to brave the storm but she thought it would be a better idea to stay indoors for now. Who knows what might be lurking inside enemy territory. After she slammed the door shut from the harsh wind, she knew that the voice command wasn't working. After a couple of tries, she was able to find the text command]

America, I do believe that you wanted to stay neutral in the second world war correct? Even if we are currently in another war of some kind, do not think that you can win by forcing me to become allies with you. In doing so, you will only provoke Japan and be forced to join the war. If that was what you intended to do ,please rethink this as you might lose, I do not wish for your citizens to suffer.

America's citizens...I apologize for the harsh behavior but... can anyone explain what has happened here?

Secret Post 384

(AND YOU BETTER LEAVE A NICE TIP! :| )

... Hey Campaigners! I've got two and a half things for you today.


1) in the midst of a busy few weeks, I've somehow destroyed everything in my email inbox. If by any chance I owe anyone anything can you please let me know? x:


1.5) orz I'm sorry for disappearing. Between school and life I sort of forgot about the game/had other things to worry about D|;; But those things are over now, so I should be able to catch up/jump back in.


2) Usually I'm not fond of big dramatic drops, but.

Amber is gone. She's doing nothing but squatting around her room like "...well, now what?" and the next step for her is to die. But first, there's something I should explain! Amber Sweet is addicted to the knife. She can't get special organs and stuff here, so she made do with just slicing her flesh open and stitching herself back together. Ow. Eventually, she ran out of places to cut, and hey, she's had work done on her neck before, so it wouldn't be too hard to go there right? wrong.

She ended up slitting her throat in the bathroom of her apartment last night just before the storm started, meaning she'd be in rigor mortis at this point in time. There's obvsly a pool of (very unnatural looking) blood in her bathroom. If no one finds her body for a few days, the tenth floor of casualty communal will probably start to reek. (Since her internal organs are all.. artificial, they probably won't decay as fast/well as natural organs would.

In the case someone does go into her apartment and looks in her fridge you'll find all of Shilo's organs in various jars. Including but not limited to her heart, and eyes. also her soul. orz if anyone else feels as sick as I do after that, I'm sorry. also if that didn't make any sense, I'm a little tired.

[static... lots of static. And the sound of... something loud. howling? but it's not the storm]

A-- [bzzzt] --d...

[England's face comes into view, and he finally presses his SOS button, allowing the video to go out just as quickly as it came on, but not before more of those horrible sounds make it to the microphone]

[ooc: signal comes from the inner yellow/commercial area. In response to this log...]

[Text]

I still have that clinic on the first floor set up in the Casualty Communal.

If you find any injured and are closer there than the hospital, please come.

Take care out there.

[The video clicks on and at first it’s hard to tell just what you’re looking at: the image keeps moving, as whoever is adjusting it is trying to set it up properly. The raging sandstorm outside isn't helping matters, the sound deafening and the video flickering in and out, and even when it's working there's a lot of static. Finally it steadies and the image of an arm reaching towards the screen comes into view.]

Is that working right…?

[The arm is pulled back as Lenalee comes into view, looking a bit confused and worried for a moment before the screen is filled with static. It's like that for a few seconds before the video switches off, and Lenalee resorts to using text only.]

I’m pretty sure this is working. Um, excuse me? I’m still not entirely clear on what’s going here but-

Does anyone know a man named Komui Lee? He’s Chinese; tall with dark hair, glasses, and a lazy disposition. He usually wears a white coat… I’m trying to find out if he’s here. I need him to be here. So if anyone can help me, I’d deeply appreciate it.

K guys, Event coordination 2!

This should be smaller by now that we've done the preliminaries, also...

To the newbies: Your characters are going to find themselves in a very sanded-in Death City.
