Hi, everyone!

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

My name's genarti, and I'm playing Will Stanton of Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising series. I'm afraid I too am rather a walking spoiler, because I'm playing Will at age 15, three years post-canon.

I'm introducing myself here rather than in the giant introductions thread because I figured more people would actually see it that way; let me know if that's wrong, please. At any rate, I'm 22, and from northeast America; having just graduated from college, I'm living at home in Vermont for the moment, but I still think of myself as being partly from Boston since that's where I went to school. (And where I hope to return, once I get a job.) I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, though I switched over pretty thoroughly to considering myself a Vermonter once we moved.

I've been following Milliway's avidly for about a week, though I only just managed to decide on a character and override my common sense enough to join this cracktastically wonderful place. This is my first LJ RPG, though I've RP'd before in bulletin boards and occasionally on IRC.

Oh, and if anyone wants to contact me, my email is in my profile, or my AIM name is Zebosity.

P.S. If anyone knows of a better picture than this, or an actor who looks more like Will than this, I will love you forever. I grabbed this icon because it was the first picture I found that looked vaguely right, and I wanted to go ahead and post already. I'm looking for a picture of a boy of about 15, with longish, straight brown hair (such as one would wear in about 1977, if one weren't terribly stylish) and a roundish face. Someone who looks like a regular British farm kid rather than a movie star. In the mean time, this'll do fine.

Good luck playing Will! I thought about coming in as him, but I opted for the immortal cat route.

Gramarye says that Merriman should be coming in someday soon. Yay for DiR plotgames!

(and Squee over Will)

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

Merriman! Huzzah!

I saw his name on the list of members and squeed, but I wasn't sure if he'd actually show up any time soon.

*bounces*

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Is Gramarye playing Merriman? Really? Yay!

[a-tendo.livejournal.com]

*squees over Will* As Susan Cooper is a childhood god, that makes you a demi-god. *hugs* Hello!

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

Let's see if I manage to get him IC, first...

But, yes, she's totally a goddess, and I reread DiR about a zillion times during my formative years. *grin*

[a-tendo.livejournal.com]

*grins* Didn't we all?

[mogget_cat]

*points to self, a bit sheepish*

Still rereads it on occasion. Writes some fanfiction... MSTs.... anything.

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Will Stanton? Ohmigod, I love you!

*worships*

*grins* Yeah, I'm a fan.

[kassandraloxias.livejournal.com]

You took the candy.


Ahahahahahahahahaha! My work here is done!

Welcome, welcome.

Milliways has a themesong.

The world is ending.

[mogget_cat]

::sings::

...some dance to remember, some dance to forget,
Welcome to the bar that some call Milliways!
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face,
Livin' it up at the bar that some call Milliways!
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibiiiiiiiis!

This is sad.

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Sad? This is scary!

*checks the weather report for storms of blood*

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. That's the point of this place, right?

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

To destroy the world, on individual at a time?

Hell yeah. :D

Sorry, can't resist

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

*sings* It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine...

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Oh.

That's now stuck in my head.

I may have to kill someone.

GAAAAH!

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

*hides*

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

*grin* No, you need to stay. Good character RPing and all that.

Did I mention how hilarious his reaction to the naked girl walking about was? "Er. Wow." XD

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[genarti]

Thing I just realized about that? Will and Luna are about the same age (well, in one sense.) I think we've learned which one of them is more corruptible... hoo boy.

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they are. Ish. Luna's "fifteen"... and give Will some time at Milliways. Give the boy time.

omgcorruptedWillbwahahahahaha!

He needs to get drunk. Just for the Milliways experience.

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[genarti]

Drunk Will... oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

*tries unsuccessfully to repress a smirk*

I'm not sure if he can be persuaded to get drunk, really. But it would be interesting, that's for sure.

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Repression? What repression? This is Milliways.

Persuaded? What persuasion? This is Milliways. The cow will tramatize him so that he needs a stiff drink. And another. Make that one a double, will you?

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[genarti]

Good point!

*smirks openly*

You're evil, you know that? Good show; carry on, please.

(Although, really, there are any number of characters I can point you to to answer the "what repression?" question. *cough*Bartleby*cough*)

Re: Sorry, can't resist

[goodnightjulia.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I am. *grin* But really. I would adore a drunken Will. And a drunken Luna would probably wander up to him, just for fun. O_O *grin*

(Point. However, he'll have a happy, repressionless ending. He and the Fool will run off into the sunset together, since the cow ran off with Chuchu. And all will be well in the land of Milliways.]

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

I did! And it's all your fault!

...I'm not quite sure whether to hug you or throw things at you. Perhaps I'll throw soft fluffy pillows, or something.

Boston has a way of getting under one's skin.

[sign-seeker.livejournal.com]

That it does. Such a great place, though.

[mnt_raph]

It is indeed.
