Carnaval de la Lumière

Hi, guys! Meg W here with my second (and probably last, tbh) character, Anna Milton from Supernatural.

For those unfamiliar, Anna was an angel in Castiel's garrison (his superior), but she got tired of being an angel and chose to rebel. She pulled out her Grace and fell to Earth in 1985, where she was born as a human. When Cas pulled Dean out of Hell in 2010, her angel senses started tingling, and eventually she had no choice but to get her Grace back and become an angel again. Because she rebelled, she was at the top of Heaven's Most Wanted list, and Cas eventually turned her in to his superiors. In all fairness, he wasn't quite himself that day.

I'm pulling her from 4x21, immediately after she's taken by the angels. She's pretty surprised/relieved to find herself here rather than Heaven, but she might have a bone or two to pick with Cas...

She's gonna be a Tightrope Walker, btw. Excellent balance, angels.

Good morning(/afternoon/evening)!

Firstly, thank you all for putting up with the bumps yesterday as we got some things sorted out - we appreciate it. This post is just to address some of the things we were asked. In regards to open threads, we're going with one set of responses/series of events rather than multiple. So unless it's a group post or you're adding to the already existing thread, it's generally one person who tags in.

As for conversations, we have an example going on here. In terms of format, they'll need a location and time in the subject (and I'll get around to fixing the line spacing in the layout at some point :E). If they're not marked as [Private], then it's assumed that anyone happening by can come and join the conversation (though do check the time/place.. as they may need a reason to find themselves in someone else's tent in the middle of the night, etc. ;). We're going for present tense for these to make them feel a bit different.. though we've both found we kind of suck at keeping to it ourselves, so just do your best. Any other questions about them, though, would be much appreciated.

Oh, in the notes I added a couple of links to Carl's note.. they're not actually there. I've just enjoyed looking at old ads. c.c But people are welcome to stick newspaper clippings or catalog pages or stuff like that up there. Also in regards the notes, keep in mind that your characters will presumably have gone back and forth to scribble out responses to each other (and could always run into each other, leading to a conversation). Oh, and you're welcome to put how neatly it's scribbled or if it's another piece added to it, etc. in the subject or in []'s or italics or whatnot.

There's a mix of mod and NPC things to do and I'm going to attempt to switch between them this morning, but apologies if I take a while. <3

Thanks!

Hello!

Firstly, we've been asked if we would like the format of conversations to be the brackets specifically [] or if simply keeping the general ..separating actions from words but in other ways would be okay. To be honest, we'd prefer if it was kept uniform, but we're not adverse to suggestions about other ways to display conversations. So, that's what this thread is for - suggestions of ways to format conversations. Then we'll get a vote started some time tomorrow on them and see what happens. So, some examples/what we have so far:

( Brackets )

( Bractalics )

( Quotation Marks )

Secondly, tags. I forgot to add the !note tag to Carl's myself, but in the Notes Community there's the !note tag for anything pinned to the noticeboard (and therefore open), a !letter tag for letters, cards, etc. obviously addressed to a certain person (and therefore private), and a !gift tag for gifts, which follows the same principle as the letters. And, because of the sheer volume of tags on the registrar, we're going to give it its own !registrar tag and remove all the personal tags, as it can be easy to muck things up given the volume and it looks kind of crazy. XD

In the main community, if you could keep the !open tag on your open post, even after it's been tagged into, it makes things a little easier come points time. No need for a !closed tag either. :) Oh and the !scene-set tag is one I will change to something else when I think of something better to call it, but is just for threads that will be posted by the mod journal to set the scene. (ATM only this one.)

Also, sorry for the slow. We will hit all your NPC posts today though!

Thanks,
Nina and Sara

Meet Carnaval de la Lumiere's brand spanking new HUMAN CANONBALL. Ahem. This is Mitchell, from Being Human (UK). Mitch is not happy with his new role but I think it's kind of awesome. Thank you, Nina, for the suggestion :P

Mitch joins Eliot, House, Dresden, and Lindsey in my headspace. It's getting rather crowded in there. I'm going to absolutely stick with just these five, yes, yes I am. At any rate, Mitch comes from the end of his run on the series, and an American traveling carnival in 1935 is not quite the afterlife he was expecting. Ahem.

But at least he has practical experience with the era? Even if he was across the pond, and bus killing everyone in sight. He's clean and sober, as far as blood. Hopefully he won't fall back into old patterns, because if he does...well, that won't be pretty! And would potentially ruin his run in the game since he's a Very Bad Boy when he's indulging his inner vampire. Yeah, so. He'll be staying clean and sober, for now.

Hello all! My name is Nic and I bring to the fold two ladies to start with and who knows however many at some point, if I continue to get enabled by evil enablers.

First off ('cause she's the one I apped first), I bring to you Jo Harvelle from Supernatural. I pulled her from right after the 3rd episode of season 5, so she hasn't experienced that pesky thing called death. (And that means hey, she hasn't the pleasure of meeting Meg in the body she's currently wearing or Cas yet, either). I have her set up as the assistant to the Illusionist ('sup, Peter?) and so that puts her in Trailer #9.

And second, I have Buffy Summers (buffyanne) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I pulled her from about five issues in to the season 8 comics, so she's not lived through TOO much of the crazy shenanigans that have taken place in the comics world of the Whedonverse, but she's been through quite enough, haha. I have her set up as Candy, Soda and Snacks vendor (heya, fellow vendors?) and she's either in tent #10 or #11... something I should probably figure out at some point, oops.

(I apparently have a thing for tiny, blonde bad asses.)

Anyway! I can be reached in their contact posts or on AIM at nic hates aim. Sometimes I'm on my mobile, depending on what I'm doing during the day, but I'll always respond. I don't bite, I swear. I look forward to getting to play with you all.
