Right, I give in *grins sheepishly*

1. Think of a word that describes Akane or Barbie. (If you want to do Howl, I will love you forever, but that's not really a huge possibility as he's only had about three or four posts, I think. Still, go ahead!)
2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.
3. Select the picture you see as most fitting, and post it as a reply. Explanations are mandatory.
4. Post this meme.

So. Milliways people, I have decided, kick major amounts of ass.

I'm moving in a week. To Richmond, which is not that far from where I live now, really, but then I will spend a week (probably) without a good internet connection, and then two weeks in Maine with *no* internet connection, and then I start classes and... I'm pre-emptively mourning the loss of many hours of Milliways-time.

I'd love to hang out with some Milliwaysers. Rami is just south of me, and Liz-mun is in Baltimore, and Selkie has volunteered to ride the train down from Boston if we do it Thursday/Fridayish. Any other Eastern sea-boarders interested in meeting up somewhere central-ish and causing trouble?

Last hurrah for me before I move. Last hurrah for her before evil surgery.

You know you want to.

SPAM!

AAAAAAAnd Hob-mun and I just realized we know each other In Real Life.

Thus: you're all invited to the wedding.

I forgot about linking, so four little Threadzillettes in one:

The Fool and Raph engage in lockpicking, and then the Fool and Bartleby talk. It's rather sickening.

Liz and Bartleby talk at each other. It's all rather at cross-purposes, and Bartleby never quite says "I'm sorry".

This Threadzillette isn't finished, but the Fool and Bartleby are talking again. And the Fool brought Bartleby a present. *makes googly eyes* And Bartleby is OOC. *sigh*

Me: *spots a typo in post*
Me: Oh, I'll just fix that then go to bed.
Still me: *fixes*
Someone who look remarkably like me: Now, to save the journal entry and certainly not click the Delete button.
Me: *clicks delete* ...shit.

While I've got you all here I might as well ask. Does anyone have any icons they think might be appropriate for Zaphod? Not really liking the ones I've got at the moment.

And I'm gone, folks. If I left you in the middle of a conversation (not likely :D), you have my full permission to tar and feather me to your heart's content.

Luna won't be around on Saturday, as she's "moping" in her room about stupid boys and their stupid former masters. XD Really, though, RL, as always, interferes. But I'll think of you lot as I eat cake, promise. O:-)

Oh Em Gee, I'm getting to bed at 2:30. What is the world coming to?


'Night all!

I'm off for a week's vacation, with no internet access at all. It'll be fun, but I'll miss you all! And I'm really, really dreading the backlog when I return... oy.

At any rate. For IC purposes, Will is avoiding Milliways partly out of embarrassment and mostly out of a guilty desire to keep all his attention on his duty. Oh, and moping, too. Can't forget the guilty moping.

Eh, what the hell. *bleats like a sheep*

1. Think of a word that describes Elizabeth. (Or Mat. If you want to use the Cow, please do one of the other two also, because otherwise, I shudder to think of what images I'll end up with. If you want to do all three, hey, I'm not about to stop such courage.)
2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.
3. Select the picture you see as most fitting, and post it as a reply. Explanations are mandatory.
4. Post this meme.

I'll be commenting to other people's as soon as I can think of appropriate words. :)

SUM-MAR-RY! SUM-MAR-RY!

I like to call this thread Paul's Ladder. It begins with Paul, dressed as an artist, building a ladder out of toothpicks. Anthy comes over, and they have a cryptic discussion about for what or whom the ladder is intended. Hob comes over, and naturally, snark ensues. Paul tells Hob that the ladder is for the wall (in Hob's dream), which breaks Hob-mun's heart. Hob freaks out, breaks a glass, and tells Paul to get out of his dreams. Paul breaks the ladder, tells Hob that he'll be sorry and disappears. Hob goes off to mope to Sirius and bleed on the bartop, but Sam goes to sleep and the thread is left tbc. XD

Anthy wants to ask Hob about Dream . She reveals that her head feels undigested. Things lighten up as Anthy tries to make Hob gossip about the virginity (or lack thereof) of Milliway's patrons, and Hob says that sex is squishy. Anthy mentions peaches, the first sign of her rapid descent into creepy madness. Apparently she hasn't been dreaming. A worried Hob puts her to bed so he can watch over her.

In a different continuity, Anathema asks Paul why he needs the ladder, and very quickly pisses him off. Paul calls Anathema boring, and rattles of an interesting summary of what he is. He also calls Anathema a snake, leading to the invention of thread badgering.

For an explanation of thread badgering, Click Here. )

Somewhere in the midst of this madness, Hob-mun and Paul-mun realize that they went to college together. It is madness. Sheer madness. Oddsmakers all over the world jump out of windows.

And that about sums it up.

The usual mathematical variables may be left below. Yay!

As some of you may know, Fleur and Peter have taken it upon themselves to turn Joe into a woman. Temporarily, but a fully functioning woman no less.

For the time being, I will be using this icon to identify him:



While he is a woman, there are some things that you need to know if your character is going to come in contact with him at all.

3 simple rules to being a woman. )

So, there you have it. Should you see a pretty, dark-haired, dark-eyed woman wandering around looking a little angry and more than a bit confused, she's going by the name of Jamee.

This isn't a Threadzilla, but it was an event that spanned a lot of separate threads. It also shows quite clearly why attempted date rape is a BAD idea at Milliways--particularly if the lady in question has adopted relatives who are a sex demon and a wizard.

On the 22nd, Door was having a crisis because Tom was travelling through London Below with the Marquis and, because she was missing Tom, proceeded to get very drunk. While in her very drunk state, she ran into Joe Dick, who proceeded to ply her with more alcohol and then with cocaine. Door, not knowing what cocaine is, proceeds to get very thoroughly stoned, until her opening powers are uncontrollable and she is badly disoriented. Joe suggests getting a room and going to bed. Door agrees, then passes out as she is being carried up to Joe's room. Joe just about makes it in the door when he too is overwhelmed by drink and drugs and passes out alongside her.

Door spends the day of the 23rd alternatively waking and sleeping. She wakes up on the night of the 23rd, and discovers that a stranger is in bed next to her, wanking off. Door demands to know if they had sex, and Joe says no, and tells her that if they HAD had sex, she would remember it. Disraught, Door flees downstairs.

Joe finishes his wanking off and then heads downstairs for a Happy Hour drink at the bar. There he runs into Fleur, who questions him and determines that he did, in fact, intend to rape Door. He just passed out before he could do anything. Fleur privately resolves to do something about this.

Door runs into Crowley almost as soon as she comes downstairs. Crowley tries to calm her down, and Sirius wants to know if it was Riddle who upset her. Snow White also shows up, and is very motherly to Door. Crowley goes into Scary Demon Mode and interrogates Joe, who claims that he didn't make Door do anything she didn't want to.

Peter gets Door some Draught of Peace, which calms her and neutralises the effects of the cocaine. Crowley, who is worried, gets very angry that Door took coke in the first place. Door wants to know why no one stopped her. Peter points out that the crisis with Moiraine last night might have distracted people. He and Crowley then debate the relative merits and problems associated with killing Joe. Once assured by Peter that Door will be fine, Crowley exits, leaving a very tearful Door behind.

Luna shows up after Crowley leaves. She and Door talk about Tom, and how forgiveness has to be a part of love. Peter turns big-brotherly, though not in an Orwellian sense, and expresses sympathy for Tom, as he wants to unleash a few zillion curses in Joe's direction. He also makes it clear to Door what Joe had in mind the other night and that he and Crowley are not so much angry at her as they are worried for her retroactively. Door is shocked to realise that she could have been raped, and swears off alcohol for the time being. Peter admits that he got himself into a bad fix the night before by being drunk around the Aes Sedai Moiraine, and also swears off booze for the time. Luna proceeds to tell Door about Will Stanton and the problems of loving an Old One. Peter then goes outside for a breath of fresh air, not knowing that Fleur has heard most of the commotion, and has gone to the bar with the express purpose of convincing Joe to meet her outside.

Fleur gets Joe to stand by the edge of the lake, then turns into a full veela, picks him up, and drops him into the lake for the squid to play with. Fleur then proceeds to interrogate him some more, having the squid dunk him every time he answers wrong.

Peter comes along at this point. Fleur and Peter debate possible non-fatal evil spells before Peter suggests one that makes Joe panic: genderbending. Without further ado, Peter transforms Door's would-be rapist into a gorgeous woman. Peter binds Joe/Jo to be unable to tell anyone his/her true name, to be unable to tell anyone he/she is enchanted...and to have, in sexual matters, all the mind and will of the drunken, drugged, disoriented Door of the evening before. Promising Fleur some trifle (as in the dessert) tomorrow, Peter leaves.

The enchanted Joe has one thing to say: "Fuck."

And Fleur comes up with the perfect retort: "Mais oui. And you will."

Doing some thinking about Milliways this morning and thought I'd post my ideas about it. These are rules I've set up for myself -- not necessarily canon for Milliways, but I've found them useful.

Rules for Sirius )

As a personal request, can people put a brief physical description and the fandom they hail from at the bottom of their bios? It's convenient when you want to make sure, for example, that the person you're talking to isn't missing a left hand or some such, and it's nice to be able to tell where people hail from -- I feel easier about RPing with characters I've never heard of if I at least can identify the fandom.

Side note for the Unfrozen Dead Angel.
He's lacking in the eye department.
Though, if people want, I could have Raph pick something suitable up from Weasley Wizard Weezies.

It continues to be too hot for my brain to function much past neanderthal level, but I've had a bit too much sugar and I've commandeered my parents' high-speed internet connection for the night. :D Anyone want to help me commit heinous acts of character torture plot some things?

I know; I've been posting a lot in here; don't throw tomatoes. *cowers*

I was wondering what people's conceptions of Milliways' appearance were. I know we have a map, but I was thinking more in terms of ambiance, what the bar area looks like as far as colors, what it smells like, et cetera, et cetera. I was going to write a journal entry for Hob today describing some of this, but I didn't think it was fair to usurp first dibs on description. Although I suppose that we could always say Milliways looks different to everyone who enters...

Ideas?
[identity profile] bloodandsouls.livejournal.com
Because we all 'ship them, whether we want to admit it or not...



It's not entirely how I wanted to make it, but it's the best I can do right now...

Two things to mention:

1. Bartleby is no longer repressed, and he is wearing a necklace of rather beautiful carved wooden beads, of which the centrepiece is a jewel caught in metal. The other beads are open to interpretation - if you want one to be a leaf or a small figure or whatever, go ahead.

2. Yes, I know Bartleby still has no sexual organs. I thought now would be a good time to mention that I'm treating him rather like a castrati - e.g., he can still feel sexual attraction and pleasure. Just doesn't have a dick. Which reminds me - Gabriel, at some point can we get me a new body? After my redemption and everything, obviously. So use your imagination, people, if that point's been worrying you.

WAH Paul don't you dare kill that kitten.

ETA: Wah. Thank you.

(Peter, perhaps you should give Paul a kitten as his present so he leaves Neb alone :D)
