SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH!

We've decided that it's been an amazing year but time to close RM. You guys are by far the most incredible rpers we've ever met and we'll miss you all! XOXOXO<3

EDIT: All pages on the mod journal will stay open. But please avoid snagging content without asking as I can't guarantee it's not something we've been authorized to use/share. <3

This is Ryoko Miyaichi. She's 40+, the owner of a Borgin & Burkes type shady shop in [whatever city you need it to be], in which she enjoys making people regret that they took her for a sweet lady who can't hurt a fly. She has no allegiances, being a business woman first and foremost, and will deal with Death Eaters and Order alike, possibly while offering them baked goods and you know, whatever. Stuff. Things. Edibles. Possibly pie, if you ask nicely.

She also has Yazuka ties through her son. This totally happened because she walked up to the mob boss and told them to leave her baby alone. Why yes, she came in after him. He was... unamused. Me? Finding it hilarious.

Anyway, if our lovely cast needs shady objects, fakety fake fake horcruxes, a cup of tea or someone to judge them wildly, come at her. It'll be fun.

just for fun

So I hate to be that guy, but I'm going to have to hop on the slow!hiatus train. Basically, tomorrow, well technically today now that it is after midnight, is my first day of school after taking a semester off. Since this semester's schedule is a bit ridiculous, I'll be around, but I'll probably be a lot slower than usual. Please excuse me for being a massive failure. Also excuse any rambling about how excited I am to be back in school. I was honestly shaking and sobbing because I was so happy about two hours ago. You can judge me, as I already am judging myself for it.

This is not a leaving/LET US CLOSE THE GAME post. I'm just making a quick post to say that, like many of you, I'm going to be on hiatus until January 27th. While I'm gone, plz feel free to kick things off heading to Japan. You know the drill: figure out their transportation and accommodations and leave a note on this post. Ping Kat if you have any questions. You can e-mail me if you need anything (chaperoned, like my cdj, @ gmail).

Fuck yeah Japan

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: Sarah, you keep bitching about all the school work you have, you haven't posted with Petunia in a few weeks, and you obviously have no time for at temp. And you're right. I don't. But asking me to not have a Temp in Japan is like asking a nicotine addict not to itch for smokes. So I am.

Meet Naoki Kudo--a 44 year old Half-Jorōgumo who works as a "Coordinator" for the Japanese Yakuza. Yes. A Coordinator. As in "I think a body could fit into this building's foundation" coordinator and a "here's how you take over that business" coordinator. In his free time he weaves spells, poisons people, cultivates purists sentiments, and collapses due to brittle bones and inability to breath thanks to his half-blood youkai state.

I would love a bodyguard for him but I'll take any other temps in Japan to do some back-story with please and thank you. Everybody knows a good group of temps makes an awesome location so lets gear up and get something fantastic for Japan.


Run The Friending Button

The reason I'm making this post at 5 AM EST is because that's when my body decides to wake up every morning. I watched all the Ghostbusters movies yesterday morning and tried to fall back asleep, but nope. Nope. Jetlag has won. So, I'm back! Which means Rabastan, Arnold, Lily, and Cesare are back too. We all enjoyed our trip to Israel. You'll have to excuse me while I try to figure out WTF is going on in game.

Previously On Shut-Up-Sarah | Temporary Characters and Unaffiliated Characters | Plotting And Characterization in Roadmaps | Plotting And Characterization in roadmaps Started by Sarah, Molested by Fin Welcome to roadmaps! This is sort of an intro to characterization and plotting for this game in specific--mostly for those who are new but also those who might feel that they are struggling. ( Plotting and Characterization Relating to Activity )

I was hoping to never have to do this ever, but I unfortunately have to bow out. BUT this will only be a temporary thing because OMG I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!!!!! But work is about to fucking suck. I just had one person quit, another i had to fire, and my assistant manager is most likely going to be promoted this weekend. Which means some crazy weird hours for me till i get a new staff in and trained that I can go back to normal. I WILL come back though. I'm going to miss this place waaaaaaay too much that I'll probably be going through withdrawls tomorrow. But I just need to get work life back in order so I can give 100% again for play. SADFACEOMG

I seriously love every. single. one. of you something serious. I hope that this is all going to work itself out in like a month or two that I can come back with a vengeance. I just really need to take the time to sort all of this out and get my personal life back to semi normal. This has been the most fantastic almost year of my RPing life that I hate leaving knowing that there's so much more to give and so many fantastic storylines to dive in to.

So when you see me randomly pop into chat, most likely that means that life is back to normal and I'm ready to tackle roadmaps head on. Till then, I love all of you and I can't wait to come back!!!!

♥

And yes, Fin, I may have just c/p most of that cause I'm lazy :)

Dear Roadmaps,

(The important bits of this tl;dr are bolded if you want to skip to the point.)

I woke up this morning, looked at my schedule for the next couple of weeks and thought -- ho shit, Cilla, what is your life? THAT'S RIGHT. MY LIFE IS KIND OF OVERLOADED. My flatmate and I are still looking for a new flat (which is really difficult because I can't even begin to tell you how much competition we have and how many people are applying for the same damn flats as us) so every Saturday is usually eaten up by attending inspections until we find one. AND THEN of course, when we do find one, there's the stress of actually moving. Then I've started a correspondence course which I need to finish in 6 months so I can get a FULL TIME JOB and not have to STUDY ANYMORE. Thus, you can see that my life is just not conducive to RMing right now.

Hello darlings!

I adore you all but it's my time to bow out. I have enjoyed playing this heinous bitch like you wouldn't believe and I can't count the times you have made me bust out laughing. This was always my fun lighthearted game and I feel it's going in a more serious direction that I can't keep up with. Please know I'll still be stalking it to see all the brilliant craziness but it's not fair to you to stick around when I can't contribute like I should. I demand to play with all of you again because you are AWESOME.

Hi everyone.

I'm sorry to do this but I'm dropping out of the game. I RP to have fun, as a hobby, and lately I haven't been enjoying this game as much as I should and things like mandatory memes are not something I want to be forced to participate in. I understand the point of rules and requirements for activity but compulsary memes are a bit excessive for something that is just a hobby. I get enough homework as is, I don't need it from my games as well. But aside from just that, I don't really like the direction this game is heading right now.

I've enjoyed getting to meet all of you and have had a lot of great character interactions while in this game, so thank you all for that!! And I hope that RM in Japan is so much fun because Japan is one of my favourite places ever so I want Japan in RP to be just as awesome, even if I won't be here for it!

Hello Roadmaps!

Remember that thing where I drove halfway across America to go home for winter break? Well, now winter break is over and I have to go back. I swear this doesn't actually happen as often as it seems. Anyhow, between my driving partner flying in tomorrow, packing, leaving, driving, and settling in once I get back to school, I'll probably be back Monday at the latest!

I'm sad that I will be missing the ends of the plot, but if you need me for anything I'll still be checking my email on my phone!

♥!

Hey loves!  I also have to apologize for my unwarranted and unannounced holiday-related disappearing act.  I probably should have expected to get pressed for time with Christmas and New Years.  Anyway.  I am back now and ready to be more active (especially in light of Big Time Plots arising) with Esther - who is ready to get swept into some action!

Happy 2012!

I am back! I went and bought a new keyboard and as soon as I did that my laptop decided that it's keyboard worked perfectly and that I didn't need a new keyboard. But whatever, I can type again so that's good! I will try work out what's happening but let me know if you want travers for anything.

I can't breath from my nose, my ears are starting to hurt when they pop, and I want to/do cry every time I blow my nose cause I've pretty much rubbed the skin raw at this point.

Yeah. I'm sick. The weekend leading into my birthday, too.

I'm here physically, just not mentally. I'll comment when I can, but I seem to be going to bed earlier and earlier as the sickness continues.

oh, it's just cilla returning from hiatus. nbd.

(NOW, WHO WANTS FITZ/LU/STURGIS AND WHERE?)

Hi guys, first of all- happy new year to everyone and much love! Second- I'm really sorry for my random disappearance- holidays became too hectic and it was a sort of totally left-field kind of thing. Thankfully things should be calming down now... except I have a fantastic cold. So I'm going to be @.@ until that passes, which hopefully shouldn't be more than a few days.

Again, I profusely apologize and look forward to getting back and spamming you all/plotting it up. ♥

Thank you!

HI GUYS. Just letting you know I've been scarce these past few days due to some trouble connecting to the Internet. I THINK it's all good now, so hopefully I'll be on later.


I am missing babies and drunkenness. I'd BETTER be on later, damnit.
