Freedomtown IC

I've never had a mom before. I mean, not that I know of, anyway. So it really made me smile when Miss Zola called me "her kid".

I know it probably seems a little ridiculous, but I can't help it!

A'ight dudes and dude-ettes. Have you ever said to yourself "Self? I wish I could find a job where I bust my ass, get paid barely not-insulting wages, and get sweet discounts on video games and other pop culture stuff & things"?

Well if so, lemme tell you it is YOUR lucky day because we are still hiring stockpeople/clerks at Sin & Quinn's Super Mega Pop Culture Emporium in Commerceport!

Work perks include previously-mentioned sweet discounts, good hours, and getting to see Quinn in the little shorts she wears when she goes for a jog at lunchtime.

Decided to re-read the Harry Potter books and the Song of Ice and Fire books recently, for the first time in a few years.

Suddenly I want to track down every single person from either series who's here and hug them.

Takin' a break from work before I scream at Stark. Great dude (usually), but he won't stop blastin' out that damn album the chick from The End Zone put out. Nothin' but screaming, and I can't hear my Dre over it. If I wanted to hear noise I'd go hang out with my kid.

I'm pretty excited about this Galador version of Masked Singer.

Obviously I can't give details, but one of the contestants came to me a few weeks ago to ask for some vocal coaching, and I think you'll all be impressed by them.

Now that the weather is getting better and I've saved up enough money, I'm happy to announce that I have purchased a fishing boat and I will start delivering fresh fish daily to the fine people of Galador!

To those I've already made connections with; your first orders will be coming to you within the week. For anyone else interested, contact me [here] to make arrangments.

I want to thank you my boss at Clothes Over Bros for giving me the extra hours needed to make this happen.

Thank you for taking the maiden voyage on Bubba with me.

[[ when this post goes up, every character with access to the network will hear an alert noise coming from their comm device. A push notification of this post will show up on their screens and won't go away until the post is viewed. Sorry he's not sorry.]]

What up, Galador? Thank you for coming to check out my post.

Hardison here on behalf of the amazing duo that it me and Princess Shuri. Sorry for the annoying alert sound and notifs, but we need to make sure you all see this so no one freaks out come tomorrow.

Starting at midnight tonight, the network will be going down for an hour or two while we implement some much needed upgrades. We've been monitoring this place for awhile now and noticed a lot of areas we can improve.

The new design will be cleaner and more user friendly. We'll be performing regular updates to keep everything running smoothly for y'all.

The next time you log into the network, you'll be taken to a profile screen for your account. Your profile will now have a unique username that is system generated. Your profile picture will be displayed (and easily changed if you're feelin the need to switch things up), as well as your full, real name. You know how often y'all get confused with doppelgangers and whatnot, so we want that name right front and center to make things easier on folks. There will also be an area to fill out a short bio on yourself if you want. Other users will be able to visit your profile and see your bio, so think of it as a way to help people get to know you if that's something you're into.

We're also planning to make the net more accessible to some of our residents with disabilities. Built in screen-readers for visually impaired, and captions on video and audio posts for the deaf.

If you have any questions before or after the upgrade, comment here and we'll answer them as soon as we can.

Once the network upgrade has been completed, we'll be rolling out a program to upgrade your comm devices as well.

[[* please re-review the updated rules and specifications for network posts here. There is now a detailed breakdown of everything, including visual aides. If you would like to create your character's network profile and put it in your journal, the coding can be found here with slight moderations.]]

Hi everyone!

For anyone that I haven't met yet, my name is Cleo Adams. April 1st this year will mark my third anniversary of arriving in this world by the gem.

I used to be really great at reaching out to new people and making friends with just about everyone. Admittedly, I've let a lot of that fall by the wayside since then.

Coming up very soon, I'll be crowned Queen of New Wakanda and I want to be the sort of Queen that can continue to know and relate to everyone. So let's be friends! Tell me about yourself! Leave a comment with something you're proud of, I'll cheer you on! Feeling cute? Drop a selfie and let me marvel at your pretty face. You can ask me questions about myself if you'd rather not talk about yourself. Or we can even just trade memes, puns, or interesting facts.

Consider this post open to absolutely anyone who could use, or would just like a new friend. Old, young, any species, race, color or creed. I'm here for you. This includes old friends I've fallen out of touch with too. ♥
