I'm baaaaaaaack....

[gethenian]

Hello!

It's okay if you don't remember me. I've been gone for um... er... *checks character tags* ....oh my. Seven years, apparently.

'Tis I, Ven Gethenian, wot used to be the player of Miniver Cheevy, and of Gorlim the Unhappy before him. And a whole bunch of other characters on the side. I was Harry Potter (the dumbish, dickish one), the Fox from The Little Prince, Faramir... like, 50 others I can't remember how to find anymore >.>

So yeah hi everyone! I am back and was totally going to just press restart on one of my old puppets but then I realized I have 7 years of new material to choose characters from, including 5 years of all the weird shit I've seen with my BFF who reviews arthouse films. \o/

Is there still a crackchat? Did we finally migrate to Skype and set up shop there?

Hey, Ven! Welcome back. :)

(You won't recognise this pup, he's newish, but I've been many people including Liam Pace.)

Crackchat is at crackinthewall these days, still on AIM.

[gethenian]

Hullo! I recognize Liam's name, but I don't believe I ever played with him. :)

Sssssssoooooo I just ventured onto AIM.com and have discovered that I no longer have the faintest bloody CLUE how to use it and don't really want to have it on my computer just for crackchat purposes.

People can add me on Skype if they want, though. My username is VenGethenian.

[athelstanthescribe]

I think the Fox did at least once. But I look forward to playing with you again!

[cameoflage]

I use Trillian 3 and the day I stop using it will be the day AIM ceases to be compatible with it and not a minute sooner. Basically this is me waving the alternate-AIM-clients flag here.

[gethenian]

I must investigate this, yes. Thank you! :D

[chanter1944]

Wei, Ven! I remember you, and I remember the fox! So does Sariel. :) Sariel Rager-mun here, for info.

[gethenian]

Hello! I'm afraid I do not remember Sariel, but I look forward to playing with you as soon as I decide who to app next time they're open! ^_^

[chanter1944]

The Fox was the one who, via narration, gave the detail that Sariel smelled like stars in addition to more expected human scents. I loved and have kept that detail! I believe, Sariel's first Christmas in bar, Fox got a ball with a jingly bell inside? I could be wrong.

Anyway! Hi. :)

[cameoflage]

I vaguely recognise your name, but I'm not sure from what, because I was a lurker at most back when you were active. (I play Aradia from Homestuck and the PC of Fallen London, although I sort of ended up slipping into an unintentional hiatus myself.)

[gethenian]

Hullo! Nice to meet you! I am not familiar with either of those fandoms. (Well... I know what Homestuck IS, but it's very much not my thing.)

[have_no_mercy]

Hi, Ven. I'm Steph! You know me from such adventures as the purple snowman! And stuff from Milliways, probably.

[gethenian]

*SCREECH*

STEPH.

OH MY GOD STEPH.

OH MY GOD THE PURPLE SNOWMAN.

OH MY GOD HOW DO WE FIND THAT THREAD AGAIN?? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE???

[have_no_mercy]

I might have it in memories somewhere.

[cyberbunnyman]

WElcome back! Don't think I remember you, but back then I was likely playing either Ben Grimm or Emperor Norton the First.

[gethenian]

I do not remember either of those characters. Perhaps you were after my time. Hello! :)

[wedic]

VEN I MISSED YOU

I mean welcome back :)

[gethenian]

ZOMG I MISSED EVERYONE! <33333

Thank you! :)

[fightingthecage]

OH MY GOD. VEN.

Welcome back! Ramon is long gone, but I'm sure I have a few others to fling at whomever you decide to app. \o/

[gethenian]

*SCREAMS*

*GRABS YOU AND SCREAMS UNTIL BREATH PETERS OUT*

.....oh yes yours were always great fun with mine no matter who they were. I look forward to seeing if that's still the case!

[ceitfianna]

Welcome back and I think there are definitely clients to get on aim without having to use aim.

[gethenian]

Indeed! I shall look into them! And hello! ^_^

[splash_of_blue]

Oh my good sweet Mike, HI VEN!

<- Bethan, mun of Sam Linnfer, Molly Hayes and... copious others

HI VEN HI HI HI

[gethenian]

BETHAN BETHAN BETHAN HI! :D

[bbq_platypus]

Welcome back! You've been gone for longer than I've been around (nearly twice as long in fact), so I figure I'll introduce myself.

I'm Ben - right now I play Raiden and Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat, the player character of Morrowind, and Sheogorath from the Elder Scrolls 'verse in general.

I've played quite a few others - most notably the Waco Kid, who was my first pup.

I use Trillian to get onto crackchat and it works quite well. I'd recommend it.

[gethenian]

OOOOOOH. I saw on the cast list that we had a Sheogorath. I hoped I might encounter you or your puppet at some point. I used to be Sheo once upon a time in the olden days! And actually in earlier days than that, I used to RP with the character's own creator on the Bethsoft forums, back when there was only one RP on the boards and it was the Official one that you had to basically Know A Guy and be a Loremaster to play in.

Eeeeexcellent to meet you~~~~ ;3

[bbq_platypus]

(Dusts off user name he barely uses months later).

That was you? Daaaang. I wish I was around/into RPing back then, because being able to roleplay with Ted Peterson would just be so awesome. If I could even do it over the sound of me fanboying so hard. Seriously, the Elder Scrolls games mean a ridiculous amount to me.

[leeshajoy]

Oh god, the cracktacular stuff you could do with a pup from a Brows Held High movie...

[gethenian]

I am legitimately considering apping myself, as written by Kyle, from his show, just to see if I can get away with it.

[leeshajoy]

I have seen people RPing as Channel Awesome characters, but I don't think any of them was actually the producer playing themselves... but you never know, do you?

[yakalskovich]

Hello, Ven!! It's great to see you again -- I used to play Asar-Suti, and you may have met Teja, whom I still play?

[weaver]

HELLO I'M STILL AROUND and "officially" still play Steph Brown, but life is madness at the moment. BUT HI OMG.

[havetubawilltravel]

Welcome back to the game, hope you have fun playing here again!
