We're posting October's topics early for anyone who wants to get a jump on their muse topics since Nanowrimo is just around the corner. Your mods will be participating in Nano this month, and after discussion have decided that there will be no activity check for the month of November. This is so that no writer feels the need to have to take a hiatus for the purpose of nano. Our hiatus policy has always stated that if you're on hiatus you can not rp during that time. Nano can be very stressful and sometimes you want to just blow off steam with a random topic or rp, and this way everyone can feel free to do that without the pressure of activity checks looming over them. If you're not participating in Nano you can consider this a freebie month anyway.
There will be an activity check on October 1st. If you have not completed a topic for your muse in August or September you need to do so before October 1st. There will be an activity check on November 1st. If you have not completed a topic or rp for your muse for September or October then you need to do so before November 1st. There will be NO activity check on December 1st.
Our suggestion is if you haven't posted for August that you put your activity links in the September post. As always any topic can be used for any month's activity. Anyone who has topics or rp links in September/October posts will be covered until the January 1st activity check.
Comment to this post with the link to the prompt after you write it, or rp link after you finish it. As always remember to comment here with your October prompt or rp link and add it to your memories. Also, a reminder all challenges are due on the first of the month at 12am (midnight) EASTERN time and must be 150 words minimum to count for monthly activity.

Cakey is their make-up Catholics try to shake up All the things that form their lives, but they're... Dead, their sighs, their songs They know what they do is wrong. Stay here with us, it's just time. Transylvanian Concubine. Candelabra's lighted Satan has been sighted Never has there been an evening like... This is what they wanted Always to feel hunted You can never be too rich or too... Thin. The blood has run out.

No more gas in the rear Can't even get it started Nothing heard, nothing said Can't even speak about it Out my life out my head Don't want to think about it Feels like I'm going insane Yeah
It's a thief in the night To come and grab you It can creep up inside you And consume you A disease of the mind It can control you It's too close for comfort
Put on your brake lights We're in the city of wonder Ain't gonna play nice Watch out, you might just go under Better think twice Your train of thought will be altered So if you must falter be wise Your mind is in disturbia It's like the darkness is the light Disturbia Am I scaring you tonight Your mind is in disturbia Ain't used to what you like Disturbia Disturbia
Faded pictures on the wall It's like they talkin' to me Disconnectin' phone calls The phone don't even ring I gotta get out Or figure this shit out It's too close for comfort
It's a thief in the night To come and grab you It can creep up inside you And consume you A disease of the mind It can control you I feel like a monster
Put on your brake lights We're in the city of wonder Ain't gonna play nice Watch out, you might just go under Better think twice Your train of thought will be altered So if you must falter be wise Your mind is in disturbia It's like the darkness is the light Disturbia Am I scaring you tonight Your mind is in disturbia Ain't used to what you like Disturbia Disturbia
Release me from this curse I'm in Trying to maintain But I'm struggling If you can go, go, go I think I'm going to oh, oh, oh
Put on your brake lights We're in the city of wonder Ain't gonna play nice Watch out, you might just go under Better think twice Your train of thought will be altered So if you must faulter be wise Your mind is in disturbia It's like the darkness is the light Disturbia Am I scaring you tonight Your mind is in disturbia Ain't used to what you like Disturbia Disturbia
Seemed to stop my breath My head on your chest Waiting to cave in >From the bottom of my... Hear your voice again Could we dim the sun And wonder where we've been Maybe you and me So kiss me like you did My heart stopped beating Such a softer sin
(I'm melting, I'm melting) In your eyes I lost my place Could stay a while
And I'm melting In your eyes Like my first time That I caught fire Just stay with me Lay with me Now
Never caught my breath Every second I'm without you I'm a mess Ever know each other Trust these words are stones why cuts aren't healing Learning how to love
I'm melting (I'm melting) In your eyes I lost my place Could stay a while And I'm melting In your eyes Like my first time That I caught fire Just stay with me Lay with me (Stay with me lay with me now)
You could stay and watch me fall And of course I'll ask for help Just stay with me now Take my hand We could take our heads off stay in bed just make love that's all Just stay with me now
I'm melting (I'm melting) In your eyes I lost my place Could stay a while and I'm melting
In your eyes Like my first time That I caught fire Just stay with me Lay with me In your eyes I lost my place Could stay a while and I'm melting In your eyes Like my first time That I caught fire Just stay with me lay with me (Stay with me, lay with me)
In your eyes Let's sleep till the sun burns out I'm melting in your eyes (I'm melting in your eyes) Let's sleep till the sun burns out I'm melting in your eyes
I bet you think we didn't know Didn't even see the tides change But it's a small, small world, girl Getting even smaller every day
I bet you think we didn't know Didn't even see the tides change But it's a small, small world, girl Getting even smaller every day
You can fake that smile For a hollow while But the kids all learn Once those bridges burn
Ssssssssssssss
The trash washes up to shore Even in this landlocked place The shit gets thicker It's toxic Get it out my face
The trash washes up to shore Even in this landlocked place The shit gets thicker It's toxic Get it out my face And don't be surprised If they don't buy your lies Some of us can see through Your stained glass eyes
Pot kettle, pot kettle black Talk that, talk that smack Pot kettle, pot kettle black Watch your, watch your back
Pot kettle, pot kettle black Talk that, talk that smack Pot kettle, pot kettle black Watch your, watch your back
Oh my god Did you hear (yeah) About that bitch And what she did? I don't believe it Aw, aw What a ho What a tramp What a slut
(Pause)
Pot kettle, pot kettle black Talk that, talk that smack Pot kettle, pot kettle black Watch your, watch your back
Pot kettle, pot kettle black Talk that, talk that smack Pot kettle, pot kettle black Watch your, watch your back
I've been caught sideways out here on the crossroads Trying to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul It's hard when the devil won't get off your back It's like carrying around the past in a hundred pound sack
Today I'm gonna keep on walking I'm gonna hold my head up high I'm gonna leave it all behind Today I'm gonna stand out in the rain Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away I'm gonna let it go Oh yeah I'm gonna let it go Oh yeah
Skeletons and Ghosts are hiding in the shadows Threatening me with all the things that they know Choices and mistakes, they all know my name But I'm through holding in and holding onto all that pain
Today I'm gonna keep on walking I'm gonna hold my head up high Got No more tears to cry Today I'm gonna stand out in the rain Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away I'm gonna let it go Oh yeah I'm gonna let it go Oh yeah
I know I know I know I've been forgiven I know I know I know I'm gonna start living Today I'm gonna keep on walking I'm gonna hold my head up high I'm gonna leave it all behind Today I'm gonna stand out in the rain Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away I'm gonna let it go Oh yeah I'm gonna let it go Oh yeah Oh yeah
