Welcome to Gaia! ::

So where IS everyone? Hope you're all ok because sheesh, we seem to have haemorrhaged players left and right here.

Is there anybody alive out there? Because i'm starting to feel like i'm rping with myself half the time.

I've been over here setting up the last few days, since there's been nothing for Willow at the moment. Still around though, between that and mentally preparing myself for the graduation ceremony on the first has been taking up a lot of my focus.

Im still here, (demona, Cassie and Damon))
i just dont know whats going on in the plot anymore

Right now there's no guild-wide plot going. For the most part its Parent-Creature conferences while the different students and their families prepare for the Fangsgiving howliday.

On a small side-plot, Glen, Kai, Rory and Nero are on the way to New Goreleans to spend the howliday with Glen's Aunt Scarie Leveau and their respective families.

(And for Rory to meet Marceline's folks!)

However while en route, Glen was kidnapped by the witch hunting family of the Murk Dynasty. It'll be up to the boos and Scarie to rescue him.

Hoping things pick up soon because honestly i'm finding things a bit disheartening and irksome with the constant stop... start.. stop... stop... stop
I get real life, real life sucks, but eugh. Just... tired of people dropping off the face of the planet without the courtesy of a "i'm not gonna be about because".
For all we know you could be dead in a ditch and that's just not fair to have people worrying about you like that.

I'm a bit stressed due to irl so I apologise if i'm coming across as more B**chy than usual (what? that's possible?) but i'm just kinda tired of everyone pussing footing around issues. It gets us nowhere.

If you know you're not gonna post for like 3 weeks, TELL PEOPLE. Why is common courtesy so difficult? Don't leave people hanging! That way ill feeling and discontented murmurings lie.
We don't want another big blow out do we?

I'm hoping stuff will pick up soon and this is just a blip, but that pessimistic part of me doesn't really believe that. And it's a bummer because when rp IS happening here, it's fun and awesome to read and be involved in.
It's like having your favourite show on hiatus or something, you sit around jonesing for a new episode going "why? why no episodes? whyyyy?" and then after a while you just give up hope and move on to something else.

Are people still enjoying this rp? I feel this is an important question to address. Because if the reason for not posting is down a lack of interest or a feeling of "i'm only posting because I feel obliged" well, that way leads to a big drama at some point too.

I'd rather people didn't fall out over roleplay. I'm sure everyone would.

So guys, what's up? What's going on with y'all? let's talk, instead of sitting and letting things fester. Because clearly there's issues here that go beyond "oh i'm just busy" right?

Is everyone ok? LIke.. seriously really ok?

Which is understandable mar but please please please do TELL us these things before just poofing off the face of the earth man. It means we can avoid dragging your characters into situations where you'd need to reply and can try to steer away from pulling you into time sensitive mini plots.

As for me, well about half an hour ago my pc crashed. it does this a lot. However this time it won't boot back up. Saying my boot file is missing or corrupt, I can't get it to load and I can't do anything till my father maybe appears on Sunday with a copy of windows to try to recover stuff.

*sigh*

I'm on husband's laptop, which I hate. Keyboard is awful, I can't disable the badly placed touch pad so it messes with my typing and the screen is broken so it flashes on and off.

I cannot rp and i'm sorry. Consider my characters busy till I have pc access again. I'm totally out for the count.

It's a tad confusing for me, what with all that's been going on where I am. I mean...My graduation ceremony is in two days, I'm still scared stiff about my father, now my mother's having heart issues since she has a weaker heart and can't do her job (stock at a grocery store in the next town over) so much, and then we may be moving out of this apartment sometime this summer. Not to mention finding a job once we do move out - the town I'm in is basically a modern day village with very little in it (the entire thing fits in 1 square mile, to give you an idea).

Not only that, but I will admit, I'm as timid as Willow. No, scratch that, I'm worse than she is. I guess you can say I haven't quite opened up yet, though I'm trying my best to. I haven't really had anything to jump into lately either, so that could also be why.

Anyway, just thought I'd explain my absence, aside from working on Takeshi's account and getting things situated there.
