As for myself, I did nothing! I did give my daughter a pretty spiffy birthday though not the most incredible. I also took stock of my current writing doldrums and think i have charted a good course of action.
I wrapped everything in Gaeta's last EP, which included threads with Demeter, Simon Tam, and Hoshi. In the realm of things that don't break my heart, I also wrapped up Olivia and Bucky's delightful little chat from a couple weeks ago!
This week has been all over the place for me. At work I realized just how disorganized my school is with all of their technology and how that makes my job harder as I can't figure out what's best for library computers without knowing about other computers. Luckily I'm not alone in realizing this and there are plans in the works, I just don't know when they're going to happen.
I had to change where I'm staying from living with someone from the school to a hotel, which actually feels like its really for the better. Though it was a bit tough being told to pretty much get out just politely. I missed having my own space even if its just a hotel room. I will find a place to live, I just don't have a lot of time. Today was the All School picnic and I had a really great time, there was a used book sale, I won some cupcakes and was greeted by lots of kids. I do feel like I'm a part of this community.
In terms of RP, I've actually been doing a lot of stuff, I'll try and link what I can but its been enough that I'll probably miss some.
Demeter and Gaeta broke my heart into tiny pieces. BSG plus Greek myths equals ever so much ow.
First go read the link in Ava's EP for context and then the follow up makes more sense as I love Nick and Sameth a lot.
Charles had an EP which has a lot of great stuff in it. His thread with X, where their ideas are similar but their versions of Marvelverse are so different, they might as well be complete other worlds. Cy is always fascinating and Guppy and Coral are adorable. I love the idea of Charles being able to see Coral's imaginary friend.
Charles and Puck are discussing puns and emotions. Charles is also helping Red figure out how to be a werewolf and trust herself.
Now I think that's all the major stuff and I'm tired. I'm going to hit my tags then I think head back towards my hotel and need to find a place to buy a bottle opener for the beers in my fridge.
Busy week for me in RL and work (which totally doesn't count as RL), and so far a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Yesterday was my 26th birthday, too, full of family and tea and sushi and Dr. Who. All-in-all, a good day.
On the RP side of things, it's also been pretty busy, though nearly every thread is still in slowtime.
Yrael met Zira, and spent some time cheerfully not'flirting with Amascut at Happy Hour.
Sunshine met Voodoo at Happy Hour and discussed different worlds and vampires and how people are weird. A few days later, she came in on the verge of passing out from exhaustion, and got some help from the Fool and Haymitch. Early the next morning, she met Peeta in the Milliways kitchens. Bucky Barnes also asks her to run away with him, for the sake of cinnamon rolls.
For some reason Amascut's last bartending was busier than I was expecting.
So here, have some wordplay with Yrael. Also, an attempt to get Kane to spill the beans. Also... I don't quite now what she wants with Red, maybe she's just amused to meet another version of Little Red Riding Hood.
Aaaaah this week has been so RP busy! Here's what Merc did:
Wrapped Ava and the Brucolac, for slight creepiness and Ava suspecting she is being understood waaaay too well.
I finished karaoke (my part in it, anyway!) and some of its fallout (featuring brownie sundaes, drinking, and shoulder pats).
In addition to Puck talking to Charles and asking him lots of invasive questions, Puck just got propositioned by a vampire. What's the word for propositioned for biting? Bitepositioned? Nompositioned?
Because I'd finished the slowtime where Charles helped her piece things together, realised the full moon is like NOW, and didn't want to have her negotiating things for the first time in the middle of Slendyplot, I went for itnow, and HOLY BALLS IT IS FUN. And fun is exactly what she needed it to be, all things considered. (This may help me work out some things for Conversations With Dead People, incidentally. AND THEN I WILL CRY FOREVER. AND SO WILL YOU.)
Carlotta takes Teja back to her world, where they see the show and he finally gets Will to open up about his problems since the war.
Gohan meets X-23 and they bond over being forced to fight at a young age.
Fry teaches Gene how babies are made. Later, after dropping Fry off, Guppy gets angry with Gene for mocking his anxiety problems, and they attempt to resolve it by beating each other up. Atton referees.

...and then I wrote the next awful thing in BSG canon, because this is BSG and it can always, always get worse. Brb, tea.
