I need somewhere to hide in a hurry. This weekend is going to be disaster.

My grandparents, hearing that I had "skipped" Thanksgiving are coming to down so we have have a "nice family meal". I'm about ready to skip the whole country.

.015 -- The good stuff.

It's time to take a break from the movies and expos and all those other things I do to get paid, and remind myself how to be a good person. You can go ahead and start your razzing now. I'm braced for it.

So, for the next month I'll be volunteering at various therapeutic riding centers. Now what is that, you might ask. Well, they're places where people with developmental disabilities, life-threatening illnesses, and long-term physical therapy go to relax. That's right, horseback riding is good for something.

I'm pretty excited about it. And hey, it's way safer than the rest of the crap I do, so maybe I won't break anything.

The roof! The roof! The roof is on fiyah!

(It's 1am and I'm tired)

Hi guys! It's Heather, the girl who brought you the devastatingly sexy Peter Reed and devilishly charming Betty Peabody. :D Here with... two more characters! -headdesk- I really don't know how I do this, I just do. Anyway!

First up, THIS journal is nineteen year old Jennifer Hill, who since the age of sixteen has had Clark Kent/Superman in her head. Weird combo right? You betcha! Jennifer is a slightly antisocial, full-on tech geek, she loves anything computer/video game/comic book related. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts and works at the comic book store Comix'd with Eric Sizemore ([info]tenaciously_d). Seriously, how could we resist putting Superman and Wonder Woman in the same place? We couldn't, obviously! Both of Jennifer's parents are dead, she pretty much grew up with her grandparents and has no siblings (very CK like). She also goes to school at Boston University and majors in digital imaging arts. Yeeaah, like I said, major geek. Jen is pretty nice and even tempered (holing up in her room on the computer all day molds her that way), unless you get on her nerves or cross her in any way. She's got a bit of a weird complex going because of her alter super hero personality and the fact that before Superman came along, she was pretty much teased and bullied throughout most of her pre-teen/teen life. Now she pretty much figures, she can act like she's all big and bad because she's got the man of steel in her head, and since she's also gotten a bit of his super strength. So she's a pretty small girl, but obviously she can pack a pretty mean punch, and she can have sort of a loud mouth too so it's really best to not provoke her. She has a hard time keeping back her sass when it's just itching to come out, but if you mean well then she means well, and she's a good friend to have when the chips are down. She and CK get along for the most part, except when he starts getting all righteous on her about something, or takes over and dresses her up in his suit to help old ladies cross the street. Soooo not cool.

I also have... dun dun dun. Victoria Kramer ([info]_nopoweroverme), who plays host to Sarah from the Labyrinth! She's twenty-seven, works as a museum curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She's got a real passion for art and art history, as well as theater. Theater was not something she wanted to study in college but when she was attending undergrad at UCLA Sarah was very forceful about the things she wanted Victoria to do, and being on stage was one of them. Sarah has an annoying knack for wanting to do everything and do it her own way, you see. Luckily for Vicky she's had Sarah in her head since the age of thirteen so she has some form of control over the girl, and was able to make a deal that gave her art history but also took theater to appease the flighty pre-teen in her head. They got along much better when Vicky was younger and more accepting of Sarah's flights of fancy and constant whining, now that Victoria is nearing her thirties she does not find them as endearing as she used to. She has no siblings and her father died in a car accident when she was three, leaving her only her slightly unstable, eccentric mother who lives in London making dresses for a living. On the outside Victoria can seem like she's pretty much all business all the time and doesn't know how to have fun but if you get to know her you'll realize that's quite untrue. She's just a twenty-seven year old girl with only her work to cuddle up to at night and who has just never figured out how to let lose in a way that suits her. Life has always been about the next big step for her, in college she tried the party scene but it didn't fit in well with both her and Sarah. Sometimes Victoria catches herself wishing that she could make her life about the elaborate fantasies as Sarah has, but she is much too realistic and dedicated to her work for that.

Anyway I've rambled on long enough and it's about time I go to sleep so. If you wanna know more, read up on both of their profiles and also as always, I'm open to any and all plot ideas, big or small! You can reach me on AIM at pumpkinnneater or goodasgranger@yahoo.com :D

I know this isn't the best time to say something like this, but I don't know how much I'll be able to participate in the coming war.

Last week, I found out I was pregnant. So this ain't just about me anymore. I can't be putting myself in to obvious danger when I've got a kid to think about.

I'll still help out as much as I can, behind the scenes. I won't be dropping out completely. Just let me know if there's anything I can still do.

Are you sure it isn't time for a "colourful metaphor"?

I have had a very pleasant weekend. It is a pity that it has to end so soon.

I don't really like turkey. I like sweet potato casserole though, you know, the one that has the marshmallows on it? I REALLY like that one. And everything tastes much better with gravy!

But I was looking stuff up on the computer and uh...maybe I should go do normal stuff, like everyone else. Like college. Or something.

Meme time!

Our characters go for a night out. What happens? Do they get drunk and end up singing terrible karaoke? Do they end up in bed together? Do they end up arrested? Get into a bar fight?

Reply to the post with your characters and others will reply in character with what they would plan to happen, and what would actually happen on this night out.

This is just for fun, and knowledge is completely OOC but if you want to play the night out IC then go for it!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come!

We're planning something big, but we need Camelot and the Agency distracted. Very, very, very distracted. I need you to torment and frustrate the supposed 'good' guys. I'm giving you all a week of planning, I want to see something happen the week starting the 7th December.

Be careful not to get caught, but don't worry about being subtle. I want them to know we're doing it and I want them to be so distracted we can move in to take advantage of the chaos we're going to cause.

I don't care who you pick or why, just have fun with it. I'll be e-mailing you all a list of known Camelot members, but don't let that limit you. If they're not with us then they're against us.

Have fun!

Someone tell me that you went to Amsterdam and didn't try some happy brownies and smoked a little.

.. Don't try it at home, kids.

Actually, now I kind of wonder how my dad would take it if I told him that my reincarnate is a slightly-morally-fucked-up professional assassin slash super-villian. Definitely not something that I considered saying at the Thanksgiving table sofa.

Hey dad. You know that comic Wanted Bryce used to leave around the house. So the mind of Fox, you know, the girl that kills lots of people, lives in my head. Pass me the KFC tub?

So, this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone remember an Alex Gregory? He was a reincarnate, but he died twenty years ago.

Whoever came up with having to have three turkeys, all of different flavors, was absolutely insane.

In the end though, seeing family was...nicer than I expected. Note to self, fake contacts melt on impact. Good to keep that in mind.

Natalie, babe, since we're spending so much time together that we've got the gossip woman aroused, how about another meeting?

Kate here! It's been awhile since I brought in any new characters, so I'm sure you've missed my thrilling intros, right?

This is Sam Victorio who happens to be sharing her life with genetically-enhanced rebel super soldier Max from Dark Angel. They've been together nearly a decade, so she's got a pretty solid handle on all the awesome stuff the Max can do (and the problems that go along with that).

She lives in LA and sometimes works as a stuntwoman, but her main job is Combat Leader for CORE. She's been working her way up through CORE almost as long as she's been a reincarnate, so anyone who's been around CORE or just around the community in general may know her.

She needs friends, rivals, enemies, all that good stuff. Oh, and if anyone wants to be her former character she totally punched them when they first came calling.

Please add her (and all the other wonderful new characters, naturally) to your friends lists, and her first post is up here.

The Wind is Southerly

Any magical sort of people out there want to help me out with some transfiguration? I, um, may have been messing around and turned a handsaw into a hawk. It seemed like a good idea. I can't get it back though and now there's a really depressed looking hawk with serrated talons hanging out in my apartment. I wasn't looking for a really odd pet, you know? Poor thing...
