The Bar has roaches.

Or rather, a roach.

Meet Archy, a cockroach with literary aspirations and the soul of a poet. Archy communicates through his typewriter, so his dialog will look like this. Also, since he cannot reach the shift key, he won't capitalize or punctuate unless someone turns on the capslock for him.

Please to not be squishing him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as so many others this month I am here to provide an OOC note about a new character I picked up. The pertinent information is in his profile, linked above, but for what little sanity's sake remains I'm going to copy it here:

Mr. Vampire is distinctive by having completely different subtitles and dubs. One memorable situation goes something like this:
"We need to get him to a hospital!" "There is no hospital!" "We're between two villages, there must be a hospital!" "I'm telling you, this is a low budget film, there is no hospital!"
and
'We need to heal him!' 'I know, lets get him home.'

In the spirit of this, I will be offering all players a choice:
Meta-charged, crack, totally 4th-wall breaking "speech" or not-so-cracked 'speech'. Any given character will hear "speech" or 'speech', but not both. Every comment will contain both anyway for the purest form of crack. The action text will be the same.

I'm doing this because I'd love to be able to play him with as many characters as possible, not just the for-crack ones...which doesn't mean I don't want to play with crack characters! Anyone who choses for any given character the 'speech' option will get a somewhat weird but very devoted vampire hunter. Anyone who chooses to inflict "speech" on their character will pretty much get whatever crack is going through my brain at the time with relation to the situation.

Each player can decide for each of their characters which that character hears. It's perfectly alright with me if 9 out of 10 characters for one pup hear 'speech' and the other hears "speech". What is important for me is consistency. If Danii decides that Garion hears it when Master Kau is "Talking like this", I'd prefer it if he doesn't then react to 'something said this way'. However if someone wants to get together with me and decide to subtitle their character for the sake of Kau's threads, I'm fine with that too!

As a final note: the player points at things and reads numbers off in Chinese restaurants. I know that the Firefly crowd has worked very, very hard to incorporate Chinese into their play and that's damn impressive. I won't be going there. I'm going to do it all in English, he's going to be complex enough to play without adding a language I don't know.

...okay, whoever was awesomesauce enough to give her paid time?

...you rock. Seriously. Now everyone can get their own personal hell Sue! Thank you, LJ Fairy!

Team Torchwood!

Post up here for plotting out the next couple of episodes, done in the interests of getting them done faster. Go!

Also, tagged the latest!

Pimp 'em up...

Y HELO THAR. 'Tis I, your local neighborhood pimp.

Have some threadz:

First, we have Darren Nichols, Puck, Satan, and eventually Kit Marlowe. Nothing good can come of this, and nothing does. Darren Nichols is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Tequila shots help. (Words of wisdom, boys and girls: "Never enter into relationships you can't explain in three words or less.") There's a lovely side-order of Mary Anne and Kit, and eventually an OOM with Kit and Darren but it hasn't been finished/posted yet so your helpful pimp Ven advises to be on the lookout for it soon.

There's your DRAMA.

Now for some COMEDY:

MARY SUE IS IN DA HOOOOOOUSE. I could not do this brilliance justice by summarizing all the various hilarious instances of havoc herein. Just... read it. The pimp suggests idly that perhaps the Sue might be defeated by Brain Bleach?

Aaaaand pressing the rewind button because there hasn't been one of these in a few days, Skinner and Le Chiffre snark at each other with narrative netspeak!

:D!

Your turn, whores.

...since she'll be tagging out tonight (if this damn headache goes away)

[little-miss-sue.livejournal.com]

The list of please don't tags is here. If you want to be on there and you're not, tag THAT post and I'll make the necessary adjustments. If you are on there and have changed your mind, do the same. If it's all hunky dory, no worries. Thanks.

Last chance to tag!

Hiro Protagonist and YT are leaving Milliways as of this post. Please tag them farewell, if your pup knows them. Don't worry, they'll be back.

Applicants who signed up for House of Arch Academy teaching interviews:

We are still interviewing, but, as often happens, we are kickin' it slowtime. Lynne and I really appreciate you playing with us, though. We hope to be all done by next weekend, and we'll be able to make our "staffing decisions".

Also, I know at least one other person mentioned interest in the back room notice; if you could go here and sign up in character, it will make things easier for us to coordinate.

English muns? You guys have a beautiful country. Seriously. I am continually blown away by, well, everything. It's SOOOO pretty!

This is me letting folken know I'm back! The school here has a weird network setup that means it takes a few days for internet access to be allowed, but everything's been straightened out. I've caught up, mainly by skimming, all current bar plots (Mary Sue!) and I'll be getting to posts I owe people before I hit the sack in about an hour.

However, I do seem to be having trouble with AIM, as well as Mozilla. AIM I think I can figure out (like I said, weird network setup), but does anyone know why Firefox won't even open for me anymore? And I just downloaded the update, too...

I don't often do these posts, because I pretty much suck at picking out specific things to recommend from the pool of talent, crack, and fun that is Milliways-- but tonight I'm making an exception.

Because if you haven't seen these, well, you should. :)

* First, a cockroach (with a typewriter) walks into (onto?) a bar. Archy! We have an Archy! And all of these threads are wonderful fun.

* Second, Puck and Lilly have to be the funniest and most terrifying set of adoptive parents EVER.

I'd add more, but there's too much, and I can't choose. So help me out-- now it's your turn. What else should we see? Comment here.
