OOC: IJ DOWNTIME PARTY

Hello, Gooseberry High!

According to the InsaneJournal Facebook, we're looking at a site downtime that will last at least for the rest of the day, and possibly longer. EDIT: UNTIL FUCKING FRIDAY so prepare yourselves for a week of memes ._.

Cheryl has kindly suggested that we can provide the IC reasoning of "Larke and O'Hare were trying to understand the journals and accidentally broke them" for why no one posted anything for ~2 days (I KNOW, I KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT EITHER), so for IC reasons, we can say that the journals temporarily turned into non-magical journals and you terrible children just had to pay attention in class and hike to talk to each other. :(

Until the site comes back up, you can all feel free to use this post for OOC discussion/plotting/complaining. For my sanity, please resist the urge to comment on the other posts in these comms, because Dreamwidth is supposed to just exist as backup for the game (lmao i obviously haven't done backups for a week, sorry). You can post without signing in if you don't wish to register a DW account at this time, but there's no invite codes, so HEY WHY NOT.

Other news bits:
  • Activity Check will be delayed for at least 24 hours after the site comes back. Of our active players, the only people who haven't completed AC yet are Cheryl, Josie, Roz and... Marin... so FYI Cheryl, Josie and Roz, you will not get kicked out of the game. We're still debating Marin's fate.

  • We're working on the March plot calendar but honestly there's a chance that after work today Meggie and I are just going to get drunk and whine a lot so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We will do our best to give you all some kind of advance notice about when it'll be posted!

  • SCENE/LOG REQUESTS Here!

  • DAY 1: Keep entertained on the Crackship Meme!

  • DAY 2: Darkest Timeline Meme!

  • DAY 3: Headcanon Meme!

  • DAY 4: "Characters you almost made" Meme!

  • DAY 5: Emergency Grotto Party!

  • DAY 6: Veritaserum and NEW OOC POST!

  • DAY 7: March plot calendar preview!

Marin & Meggie

She tried. She's counting it.

You're the boss, Boss.

[personal profile] torturedartist 2017-03-01 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
just for the record tho

in game, calling him boss has become a surefire way to make chris smile because this is still the best thing at this school in his opinion

oh, she 100% only uses it for him. sy gets cap or variations of that every so often - but chris is always boss. Occasionally 'the boss.' ss in sy tells her to do something and she's feeling obnoxious, so she goes: yeah, okay, gotta ask the boss first.

lmfao the obnoxiousness would intensify if sy tells them both to do something, while they're both standing there and she says 'yeah okay gotta ask the boss first' and then just repeats the whole thing to chris who is standing there the entire time

SCENE REQUEST LINE

[personal profile] okkay 2017-03-01 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Name: kay :C immersed in finals hell
Character(s): Z, Laurel, Wilde
Any ideas?: IDK all three of my children are struggling with weird emotions
if you like weird emotions you've come to the right place

Z might be too stressful to play because I am at Z-levels of stress right now and it might be like stressception (two levels deep oh no) ??? THAT SAID I would still do it (side note does anyone here have experience with textual studies / criticisms / editing eclectic editions?? probably not??? it's worth asking????)

Laurel is Laureling
The masquerade & anony encounter left her feeling strange and she doesn't yet understand why
The destroyed gifts deepened the crack in her shiny heart
Maybe a cute dance thread or random happy encounter w someone would be cool

Wilde is "dying"
He's probably been horrible the last few days?? Like seriously horrible?
I don't know what actually happened during the anon thread because SAIRA REPLIED TO HIS MASQUERADE MISSED CONNECTION BUT THEN IJ DIED AND WHY (spoiler: he said something pretentious back & probably scared her away)
Journals being dead ic means he's holed up and is acting like a fucking recluse or just rolling around in his new plantbed
Maybe someone can find him napping there or something
please save him from himself

Katie I got confused and thought this was me because I saw my name all over it and an icon that we obviously both have on IJ. And I was like: I don't remember posting this what is going.

At least we have distinct journal names here, though obviously that didn't help me lolll

GENERATOR Δ FIRST FLOOR (FREELANCE WHALES)
We get up early just to start cranking the generator
Our limbs have been asleep, we need to get the blood back in them
We're finding every day several ways that we could be friends

SPOOKY GHOSTS (SNCKPCK)
And I glance over at you
I can see right through you
Because you're a ghost
A spooky ghost
And you glance over at me
You can see right through me
Because I'm a ghost
A spooky ghost

PERMAFROST (LAURENA SEGURA)
You say I'm breaking your friend's heart
But meanwhile you're tearing mine apart
So stop asking me if she loves you back
If it's charm you have then it's courage you lack

WHITE WINTER HYMNAL (FLEET FOXES)
I was following the pack
All swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime

EDGE OF SEVENTEEN (THE WIND AND THE WAVE)
Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again
Tomorrow, yeah, yeah
Well, the music there
Well it was hauntingly familiar

MORTON'S FORK (TYPHOON)
It turns out that we are shit out of luck
There are things in the woods that will prey on the things that you love

GENERATOR Δ SECOND FLOOR (FREELANCE WHALES)
And now the smell of these wood frames
Is the only sense I've left
So as you pull me from the bed
Tell me I look stunning and cadaverous

A BETTER SON/DAUGHTER (RILO KILEY)
You'll be better, you'll be smarter
And more grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
You'll be awake and you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
You'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest, you'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

IF you aren't too full on logs already, i want teo and ennis doing literally anything. they could watch paint dry and i'd still be like 👌👌👌

IDEAS:

teo & ennis at the dance (teo recognizing him even with the mask orrr catching him on his scurry back to the cabin before midnight?)

teo & ennis RING MATCH!! where ennis bought him that stupid sparkly matching ring he was talking about on the anon post that one time and presents it to him.

teo & ennis get high as a kite

teo & ennis backlogging (meeting for the first time at ilvermorny? filling out gooseberry applications together? the possibilities are endless!!!!)

you know, i'm much more happy to do logs than my submitted activity suggests. But i'm off tomorrow and we have no other way of activity, so i'm totally up for a ennis and teo thread.

i want teo to get ennis high as a kite and lay outside under the stars and talk constellations with him (kinda like how people tell you what the see in clouds, but this time with stars; not actual talk of constellations)

I'm having trouble keeping up with potential weather for the end of february, because it was so fucking warm today that we had tornado warnings. It's like 65 degrees. A small county probably got destroyed by a tornado, that's how you know it's spring time in the midwest.

But yeah, they need piles of blankets and pillows and they can snuggle while they discuss the stars.

I need to go to sleep soon too (not because I work but because I'm just tired lol) but I can do a starter when i get up tomorrow, if you can't
