The Company OOC

Look who's back!

Sort of, anyway. An update: We sold our house in Florida, bought a house in Texas (or at least I'm hoping we sold and bought these houses; I won't believe it for really real until I see my parents sign at each closing)! Now the only things left to do are packing, getting rid of furniture we aren't taking, some last-minute cleaning, and actually getting there. So now I'm feeling comfortable enough with where we are in this process, that I'm going to officially come off hiatus and ask for some threads/plots/what-have-you!

If you're interested in anything with Luke or Maggie, drop me an email or hit my contact posts! I'll be taking another brief hiatus when we actually move, but that's not until June 7th to... I don't know yet, probably the 12th or so, but we can worry about that when we get there.

I have internet! It is glorious. :D I have a new screen name for you guys to get in touch with me. They can be IC or OOC messages. You can hit me up on noahdetects. In the mean time, while I tag people I owe, would anyone be interested in doing a scene or two with Noah?

Hey guys, we have a new player to the game! Kitty is bringing us Mason Green, a very experienced nurse. Please head over to the friending button to add him to your lists.

Just as a reminder, we are over the half-way mark for the month, remember that each of your characters needs to be active in a thread posted between May 1st and May 31st to pass the activity check! Keep on being awesome.

Hi there! I'm jumping on while my work's firewall is down and IJ is unblocked. For just about all of last week, my internet was spotty. Some days, I'd get just enough juice to potentially respond and then it would die. Finally, on Saturday, it just died. So, I've spent the last 4 and a half days completely devoid of internet, but I'm hoping to get it resolved by Friday (a technician is coming!). But I wanted to drop you guys a line! <3. If I owe you a tag, I'm so sorry. I'll get to you once my internet sitch is (finally) resolved. I'm so excited for steady internet I can't even begin to explain.

Hi all! Back from hiatus and with a shiny new puppet. It's not that I <3 this game and can't help wanting to play moar! Nope. We needed a doctor. That's my excuse. *cough*

This is Arthur, or doctor Keller, and he's the resident physician since today, lol. He's just come to us from the Myanmar Motherhouse (Burma), and has been given a few days to settle in before jumping into the thick of things. Once he gets acquainted with people's files, he'll probably start scheduling checkups for everyone over the next few weeks (you can assume this and mention it IC if you wish), since he's basically inheriting what amounts to a private practice with all Cardiff Motherhouse employees now under his care. He'll want to get to know everybody at some point. He's not very warm nor approachable, and he likes to keep it professional, but he is unfailingly polite and soft spoken. Unless provoked, in which case that same soft tone starts dripping with sarcasm on every word. His details are here. Let's plaaay! :D

Hello all,

I bring you my new boy Taylor Maddox. He's ex-air force, very experienced pilot. He's been with the Company about 10 months and is still sort of finding his way. He's generally a good guy, fun to hang out with, flirtatious, but with a mercurial personality. Check out his profile here. Plots & lines welcome. :)

Two new characters are in the game today! Please update your friending button and give them a warm welcome!

Also as a reminder, activity check will go up on the 1st, that means you have between now and the 30th to get each of your characters involved in a thread! There are several open threads to join and some plot to play with.

Over the next several weeks, people in the Cardiff Motherhouse may start noticing some odd things. Aren't you just sure you left that light on? Or that book you just set down, how did it get to be on the other side of the room? You know that feeling like there is someone whispering close by, but you know you're entirely alone, or have you noticed your television flickering strangely for no reason?

All that, and more, is going on at the Company House just now! Players are free and encouraged to work these kinds of oddities into their threads, and Sensitives may have an odd prickle that something is there. If in doubt, feel free to ask a mod, but think low-level ghost sighting stuff and incorporate it to your heart's content!

What is causing it, however... that will have to be uncovered in time. Hope you're not scared of the dark!

Hey all, I'm sorry I've been more scarce than usual of late. I'm afraid it's going to last for at least another two weeks, maybe longer. The job is training all of us on a new system so until the system is implemented, all the bugs worked out, everyone trained up to par, etc. my work schedule gets to be 45-55 hours plus training. Sooo, I'll get to things when I can and I hope that's okay. I actually have a day off tomorrow whoohoo! haha <3!!!

Please pardon ever-changing code, missing buttons and random crap that just doesn't function right this weekend, we're in the middle of doing some revamping, cleaning up, etc, and that means David will be doing what David does best: Breaking shit. Promise we'll have it fixed up ASAP.

In the mean time, shiny new backgrounds, buttons are being redone and some more pages added to make game navigation easier and info more convenient to reach. Also, Ben has been so kind as to complete the a First Floor Floor-plan, there's still a few more levels to be completed, but we wanted to get this to you guys as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience, hope you'll find the changes we're working on helpful!

Also, one very last reminder: Activity check happens tomorrow!

We have a new player to the game today, please update your friends button and give a warm welcome!

Activity check begins a week from today, so please make sure each of your characters have been involved in a thread between March 1st and March 31st to pass!

okay so... i'm back, i think! *eyes internet* i don't trust it. came back this morning, was gone when i got home from work, but has been up for a couple of hours now, so i'm hopeful. now begins the arduous process of catching up, so please bear with me folks, but i'm SO HAPPY TO BE BACK!!! *clings to all and sundry*

Hi gang,

Just a reminder that the activity check is fast approaching. Just over a week until the month ends, in order to pass, each character will need to be in at least one thread posted on or after March 1st. I know things have been slow, so please double check!

Once Ben's Internet returns, we'll be updating some game info and actively advertising once again, so please remember to update the Wanted page with any lines/characters you want to see in the game.

hey guys!!
i'm leaving this message as i leave the office. i'm without internet at home, which is why you haven't seen me around. something is broken and they can't find what it is but it has something to do with some power lines that were laid down nearby. i'm hoping that i'll have internet when i get home today, but i'm not holding my breath. will hopefully be around this weekend, even if i have to crash at a friend's to use their internetz. my apologies to all the ppl waiting for tags from me. be good! miss ya

Hey!

Sorry I haven't been around much - Had some health issues, then power issues - but am back and working on my tag(s) today.

Hello good people.

Now, I'm sure many of you have noticed that I'm not my usual fast taggy self lately. This is something I deeply regret but can't really help it. Thing is, I'm dealing with some annoying health problems, constant fatigue, migraines and writers block (yes, that is a health problem). I'm not dropping, because I don't want to, and I'm not exactly asking for a hiatus, just a heads up that I will be slow. I hope to have this worked through by the weekend and if this doesn't let up soon I will go see a doctor... or buy some caffeine pills or something :P

I'm still here, just slow and a little sleepy in the head.

<3

awww, randomly <3 Alex for being such a good friend to Bo ;D

also, who do my 75 pups owe threads to? requests? baked goods?

Hi! Shi here with my second character, Arancaya Landau. But you can just call him Aran if it's easier.

He's been working for The Company for almost ten years now as an archaeologist and "retrieval specialist", so he's likely to know or at least be familiar with just about everyone unless they're brand spanking new. He's also a Sensitive, in that he can tell when something is fake. Whether it's a dye job, a knockoff Rolex, or a forged document or artifact, he'll know by sight if he's close enough. Came in pretty handy when he worked as a museum curator, then insurance investigator pre-Company.

Aran's a pretty quiet man, preferring to let others do the chatting unless he feels he has something to say. He's not reserved, though, and can and will voice his opinions. Overall, though, he's fairly easy to get along with. Unless you're Nic, but then, Aran has been sleeping with his wife. Oops? He's a little bit Neal Caffrey and a little Indiana Jones, and if you're interested, you can check out his info and his plotlines here. I can't wait to get him into the mix!

Hello all! I'm Jaime, and I'm bringing to you Oni-Sade Adedayo.

Oni is Nigerian and Yoruba (I swear I decided on that long before I read King's profile!), the daughter of an OB/GYN and an herbalist, with a talent for languages a mile wide. She's not only a quick learner at the actual language, but she picks up on accents wherever she is and switches to them so naturally even she doesn't even always realize she's doing it. On top of that, she's a lesbian, a rape survivor who is still distrustful of men at first acquaintance, and a sensitive who can sense the intent and motive of people and animals.

She also loves to sing, dance, and cook. She doesn't take shit from anybody, and is the first to say she's a fat woman and wonder why it's such a bad word/insult, as well as amaze at how women actively starve themselves in a country with such great access to food.

She came to the Company through her friend Elen, who helped her when she killed a man in self-defence and was afraid to go to the authorities in case her visa would be revoked and she'd get sent back to Nigeria. She still loves her motherland, but she can't openly be a lesbian there without risking her life. She's very new to the Company and is intent on making a meaningful life for herself, cherishing every good moment for she knows how quickly they can come to an end.

As for me, I've RP'd for years now in the HP fandom (with a long intermission) and am really looking forward to having fun in the Company universe! Oh, and you all have Meesh and Shi to blame for my applying ;)

Hi gang, it's time to run over to the friending button and give that puppy a push, as we have a new character and two new players! ...ok well. One new player and one belated new player, as I failed to give the announcement for Noah. Please forgive me for failing there and give both Noah a little extra love.

Last reminder, this activity period ends on the 29th, so make sure each of your characters was involved in a thread posted between the 1st and the 29th of Feb to pass!
