Just for reference, in case anyone would like this information, Tif and I moved lawyerbox to boxolawyers. At the moment, we're still using both and may continue to do so for a while, but I think we're primarily going to stick with DW.

I'm also abandoning idgie_icons, not that I'd been updating it much. I have a new comm, solongtodevotion, which I'll pretty much throw all icons/profile codes/cr charts/etc into. I won't do an import, because I'm not particularly fond of my old stuff, lmfao... but maybe I'll include a couple of the last icon batches.

That is all. o3o

Okay! As some of you may know, I'm hoping to start a high school AU RP here on Dreamwidth. Now I haven't run my own game in several years, and the few I did were all single-fandom games comprised of small groups, so I'm not used to to coming up with something that will appeal to a wider group of people. A little input would be greatly appreciated, if you don't mind taking a look at some ideas I've been tossing around. Answer whatever you can, or feel free to just give me your feelings on my own thoughts. :D

All righty, let's see...

• Should there be an overarching plot? I'm leaning towards slice of life high school drama with player- and mod-driven plots every so often, but no plot beyond that.

• Should faculty be appable or mod-run? Leaning towards mod-run and mostly behind the scenes, unless needed for plot purposes.

• How do you feel about OCs? I personally don't have any thoughts one way or the other.

• Should there be curses/viruses? I'm leaning towards something like school spirit weeks every so often. For example, say it's American 50s week; that Monday, the characters would come to find the school decked out in 50s decor. Any students participating in spirit week would suddenly take on characteristics of the 50s archetype of their choice. Y/N?

• Class schedules? I'd really love to put together schedules for all of the students. I love stuff like that, haha... I'd also make a school calendar, listing holidays, special events, exams, etc...

• Summer vacation? I'd like to run the game in real time, meaning holidays in the real world would happen concurrently within the game. This includes long holidays, like summer break. Would spending nearly three months outside of school walls, doing what teenagers do during vacation and then some, be too tedious to play out? Or would it be a welcome respite from the monotony of school? :|a

Lastly, I am definitely going to need help with this, so if anybody is willing to volunteer (either by offering input or actually moderating), please let me know! My strengths lie in behind the scenes moderating, like organization, list-keeping, and answering questions; I'm terrible at judging applications. :/ And extra help with player relations is always appreciated.

Feel free to pass this around! The more responses I get, the more informed my decisions will be! :D And feel free to bring up any thoughts or ideas that weren't touched on above!

Been a while since you've seen this guy, eh?



Eh??

Whoa.

What's up, LJ?

So, in November, I resolved to play more video games. Pretty dumb for a resolution, right? But I used to be a big gamer, and I suddenly stopped when life got in the way, barely having time for DS games like Elite Beat Agents and Trauma Center, and I missed it, man. So I resolved to play more, and my first game of choice was Digital Devil Saga.

Now I am hopelessly obsessed. 8(

No, seriously. I mentally strategize how to kill difficult bosses while I'm at work and get twitchy if I don't play for a few days. It's really pretty sad. I think I need an intervention. It's not the best game I've played in terms of story or even character (I do find the story and all of the characters extremely likable, though; don't get me wrong), but there's something about it that has me hooked. Maybe the sheer fucked up-ness of it all? The way the story progresses? I like how slowly in unfolds and how the characters know just as little as you do when the game starts, and you're only given little glimpses here and there. It makes me excited to see what happens next.

Anyhow. Needless to say, the next game I play will be Digital Devil Saga 2. From there, I'll probably move on to No More Heroes, aw yeah.

I wish I could go home and play now, sob.

This useless post has been brought to you by boredom at work.

Okay, so Liz challenged plurk (see what I did there?) to pick a fandom we're in and write a self-insert fic. For some strange reason, I've been wanting to do this for a long time, so I took the opportunity to pour my heart and soul into a terrible Mary Sue Fanfic of Doom.

This is chapter one.

(Note: This is all done in good fun and not meant to offend anyone. Let's face it: we were all varying degrees of bad when it came to writing during some point in our lives.)

The 15th Noah
by Idgie

This is the story of a girl named Isis Diana Grisela Isabella Edwards. (A/N: that's an anagram of my name (the letters of my name Idgie make up her first, two middle, and last names.)) Everybody called her Bella, though. Bella Edwards lived in the 19th century. It was 1889 to be exact. (A/N: D.Gray-man doesn't have a canon time period, but it's late 19th century so I made it up.) She was a little chubby but not fat, she had curves in all the right places, and her hair was black with red streaks. Other people in the 19th century thought she was a demon because of that, but she was really just born that way. She thought her hair was cool and said 'fuck the haters' whenever someone tried to give her trouble about it, even though it made her want to cry sometimes. I forgot to mention her eyes are blue, but sometimes they look green or sometimes gray, depending on her mood. The red streaks in her hair also turn blue in the moonlight.

When she was 15, a strange feeling started to come over her. Her head hurt a lot and started bleeding one night, running down her face in deep red streaks. She screamed and cried, but her parents were shocked at what was happening to their little girl to do anything. They called their local priest, who came to the house the next day, and he said that she really was possessed.

"Oh no, how can this be happening to us?!" her mother cried out loud. "Our little giiiiirl!!!"

Isis wanted to comfort her, but when she approached to give her a hug, her Mother shrieked, "No! Stay away from me, you demon!"

Bella felt bad. She didn't know what was happening to her or why, but her head hurt so much and her chest hurt from trying to keep herself from crying. The priest wanted to exercise her, but she was scared, so that night, when everyone else was asleep, she snuck out her window and down to the ground, where she then ran to the forest to escape.

"Why is this happening to me?" she sobbed on her knees at the night sky, her hair streaks turning blue in the moonlight. "Everybody was right about me! I'm just a demon! A monster! Nobody will love me nooowww!" she cried.

Just then, a tall dark stranger appeared. (A/N: It's Tyki because I hate the Earl. He's so fat and ugly!)

"Why are you crying?" he asked.

She looks up from her place on the ground, her eyes turning sparkly at the sight of this handsome man like in anime. She quickly wiped her tears away. "I wasn't crying," she lied.

Tyki grinned in a sexy way he grins when he knows something you don't. Bella melts a little inside. "There's no reason to lie, my dear. I know exactly what you're going through."

"You do?" she asked.

He nodded. "You're changing."

"Changing?"

"You're special," he continued, flicking the cigarette in his mouth and blowing out smoke. "You're like me, a Noah. If you come with me, I'll take you to the Earl."

"Who is the Earl?"

"Just come with me and he will explain everything."

"Well... Okay," I said. I didn't know what else to do. The priest wanted to exercise me and my parents thought I was a monster. How could I go back home now? Besides, this man seemed very nice and he was very attractive, even though he was obviously a lot older than me.

I took his hand and a glowing hole suddenly appeared in front of us. (A/N: I don't know how else to describe the ark's doors.) "What's your name?" I asked.

"Tyki Mikk," he said, smiling. He looked down at her and thought she was very pretty, with curves in all the right places just like he liked. She blushed. He lead her through the glowing hole and suddenly they walked through a door into a white city.

"Where are we?" she asked. Her head was still hurting. She held it with her hand, which was getting bloody because her head was still bleeding. Marks were starting to appear on her forhead, too, but she couldn't see them. Tyki knew they were there, though. He had them, too. He felt bad for her.

"This is Noah's ark," Tyki explained.

"Like the bible?"

"Yes," Tyki said.

"Oh." It didn't look like a boat, but she took Tyki's word for it. There was no reason for her not to believe him.

They walked through the empty streets for a while. "My name is Bella," I finally told him.

"I know," he said.

I was shocked! "How did you know?!!" I asked, looking up at him. The streaks in my hair were red again because it was daylight on the ark and my eyes were green because I was surprised.

"Because, you're the 15th." He said with another smile on his face.

"The 15th what?"

"You'll see." They walked through the city some more and then came to a normal door on the side of a building. Tyki was still holding her hand, which made her blush hard. "This way."

Tyki lead her into the door and she gasped at what she saw.

CLIFFHANGER!!! TO BE CONTINUED!!!

R+R when I get five reviews, I'll write the second chapter!! :):):):):)

------

I will probably not actually write a second chapter to this, but who knows? It was fun. |D

If you could keep your brain, would you consider being a cyborg?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I wish I could remember more details, but I know the dream involved Tif being arrested for doing something she knew was wrong but thinking she wouldn't get caught. I was crying so hard, because I didn't want her to leave. Her sentence was for a year and a half, I believe. I remember someone telling me it'd probably get cut down to 9 months, though, if she behaved...

Then, I think, we were both arrested? We were on this ship with a bunch of other prisoners, being carted off to some island. That's all I recall of that dream, unfortunately. ;;

I remember a bit more of the second one. Some of my old high school friends and I had decided to open a restaurant. I think I was the hostess. I went to check on this party of five, and they told me they'd been there for half an hour already and no one had come to take their orders. I offered to do it, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't even have a notepad to write on!

I took their orders down on a napkin, I think... or maybe I just tried my best to memorize their orders and then--YEAH, that's right. I tried to keep their orders in mind, then I ran off to grab a menu and copy down everything they ordered. I don't think I felt very confident, but I didn't want to seem like a fool and ask them to repeat their orders, so I just... wrote down what I could remember, lmao. :|;;

I took the order to the kitchen but didn't know who I was supposed to give the ticket to. Finally, someone told me to take it to Jung at the bar. When I gave it to her, though, she didn't know what to do with it. But I told the party (which had grown to a party of, like, ten) that their food was on the way, anyhow. B/a;; And also complained the manager that service was terrible and that nobody had checked on them, so I had to do it myself THE NERVE.

And that's all I remember! Now I sleep.
