Golden Apples OOC

My flist is completely empty. Is anyone still around here? :/

Hey, y'all...

I think I'm going to be dropping Katie due to extreme loss of plot unless anyone can give me a compelling reason to keep her around. :(

Luna and Sophia are sticking around, though, and if anyone wants to play anything with them, just poke me, alright?

I might also be convinced to app new people if anyone has plot they need filled, so feel free to bug me. I'm easily talked into things!

<3! Lena

Sorry to do this guys, but I'm going to have to drop GA. It's been very difficult for me to keep up with replies, and the friends page in general. I haven't even gotten around to saying hi to the newest player, and I'm usually more on top of that. I apologize for having to leave so suddenly and taking so many characters at once [Angelina, Blaise, Bianca and Roger]. I also apologize for ditching plot and lines like this, but I'm getting stress from my job, and I spend all my free time running two games, which leaves me little time for GA.

While I'm at it, lemme state that Ai has similar time constraints now. She's started up school again and doesn't even really have the time to pop on to say she's going to have to drop as well. That means no more Draco, Cade, or Jasper. She apologizes, especially to Narcissa's player, as do I, because we both really enjoyed plotting with you and the dynamic growing between our characters. We wish we'd gotten to play with all of you more.

We're terribly sorry and wish you all good luck with the game.

For those unaware, I'm Charlotte. I prefer Charlie or Nya however. I dislike my real name XD. I hope to meet you guys in game and to thread with all of you.

I play Aviya, who is a rather interesting girl, currently working at the Ministry as a researcher for Muggle Relations. She's a very friendly girl, that has a bit of a chip on her shoulder. She's fairly dead set against classifying anyone as 'Muggle', or 'pureblood', because of her Jewish ancestry. I'd love some plots, so anyone who is willing to help a Harry Potter noob around hit me up on AIM (BastBlackRose) or email me.

Hope to see you all around :)

We've got a new player and a new character! Please run the friends button. :)

Please give Charlotte a warm welcome!

Hey there, peeps.

I'll be scarce over the next few days, but will be checking in as often as I can for mod purposes. (Long story short, a few hours ago I've had to put my dog Gypsy to sleep after she, from what I understood, suffered a heart attack.) RP's the furthest thing from my mind right now.

I'm aware there's one application awaiting for approval, and I'll get to it tomorrow. :)

Take care, everyone!

So, my open-ended job just got a little more open-ended. They let go one of the other admins, and need me to stay longer to help cover her vacated position. I could be there anywhere up to another two months. On the plus side, I've figured out a strategy. I can type up replies at work, send them to myself, and post them at home, or even reply from my email on my phone on my lunch break. Or have Ai post for me XD I can keep up my activity this way, unless work happens to be too busy to get a chance to write up a reply.

Also, sometines replies can come during the day because IJ's only partially blocked. Again, it depends on my free time at work. If it looks like I can't keep up, I may consider a hiatus or dropping characters. If I'm holding people up, please let me know so I can objectively see how much time I really have.

On the plus side? Steady income is a beautiful thing. :D

Hey, guys, just popping in to apologize for being super slow with tagging! I went to a birthday party three states away over the weekend, and did not expect to be as exhausted as I was when I got home. Then on Tuesday my boyfriend proposed! So I've been pretty busy with him XD I'll probably be back to tagging normally tomorrow, when he goes home (sigh).

Hey there peeps! This is Steph with her second character, who this time around, isn't a DE. (Woah, overabundance of comma's much?) This is Grant Page, former Ravenclaw and Quidditch Keeper for both the Braga Broomfleet team (Portugal) and the Tutshill Tornados (Cho's favorite team!). Unfortunately, a very publicized accident mid-game sent him falling down, which rendered him a paraplegic. School wise, he left school one year before the war broke out, so surely he must know someone around here! He also played in the Ravenclaw team as a keeper during the 93-94 school year. Added to that, his accident seemed to have brought out certain seer abilities (with approval from Elle) that have him plain puzzled.

His profile can be viewed here.

So, don't be shy and hit the friends button, which can be found here.

Plot plot plot pretty nice please?

Guys, just a heads up that I am going to be dropping Adrian. I haven't felt like he's been a good fit for the game and most of his plot is gone, so I've decided it's best to just retire him (and have room, perhaps, for someone more needed/useful once life slows down a little more).

Hey everyone I'm Caitlin ,bringing you Rodolphus Lestrange (this account) and Hermione Granger (Bright_Brunette). 

Hermione is pretty close to canon at the moment and is looking forward to meeting up with any friends or even enemies. 

Rodolphus is a very bitter and angry person especialy after the death of Bella. He would probably meet up with any ex-Death Eaters and is eager to cause some serious havoc.

I'm looking forward to playing with everyone

Okay, so I'm going to be busier than I have been, specifically on Monday nights, for the next three weeks. I started a cake decorating class last night, the Wilton Course I class for those of you who are aware of it. It's 6:30-8:30, after work, so I'll be getting home at 9:00 EST pretty beat. This means I'm not going to be much for RPing on Mondays for the next three weeks. My temp job should be over at the end of August, and I'll likely be back to having way too much time on my hands then. Thanks for being patient with me guys. Don't hesitate to poke me if I've gone more than 3 days replying to you. I try to keep up but I may miss a tag here or there.

Guys, I am kind of at a loss about what to do with Sophia here. The only real interaction she had appears to be no longer in the game and I really do love her, but I need to have some more solid plotterings for her if I'm going to keep her around.

So.. anything? Anyone? Love interests, friendships, random meetings.. anything?

Hey, y'all! The hand is still sore, but I'm trying to gradually make my way back into the world of RP, because I don't like to stay away for too long. :D

I'm going to be slow for a fit, because I'm not typing all that quickly and I'm having to stop to rest/ice my hand a bit, but I'm aroundish again, so if anyone wants a thread/log/whatever with any of my kids, just let me know!

In the interest of keeping y'all updated:

As if being insanely crazed with work and then getting a nice bonus of s surprise sinus infection was not bad enough, I kiiind of shut my hand in a door the other day. Nothing's broken, but my fingers are pretty badly bruised, which means it really hurts to type unless I do it one handed and that gets old and tiring really fast.

Suffice to say, I am not going to be up to anything RPwise until it heals, because just the little bit of typing I have to do for work is making me want to stab myself. :(

I really hope it feels better soon, because a) OW! and b) I miss you guys.

That was way too much to type. Ow. But I wanted to let you guys know what was up. <3!

Hey there! My name happens to be Steph as well (is this going to be a problem?) and I bring you Todd Yaxley. Since there is obviously so little canon background, I also gift you with his application. Shortly put? This Yaxley comes from a Rom background, grew up in the circus and had a bit of an identity crisis when his immediate family seemed to be dropping like flies; suddenly Voldemort's words seemed like 'poetry'. A sad past, true, but in the end no sadder than Harry Potter's, the Longbottoms or the Blacks. And he might be Sibyll Trelawney's cousin.

Personality wise? The man is angry. Period. Okay, not really. It's easy to hide behind anger and revenge. Those who know him well, would know that he's actually pretty easy going, impulsive, blunt, a joker, and that he has a weakness for ... Cheesecake. (He wants to know if Narcissa is up for a midnight binge?) And ah, yes, he was a Gryffindor.

Anyhow, I'm very eager to plot and play with you all.

I'm going to have to take a hiatus. I'm feeling insanely overwhelmed, I'm having to force things when it comes to RP lately and I'm just not in the right head space to keep up at the moment - between work and real life and other things. I'm going to just force myself to take the next couple of weeks away and try to regroup or what have you. I'm probably not going to be around much on AIM, either, but you can always email me if you really need to get a hold of me.

My name is Liz, and I come bearing Narcissa Malfoy. You know quite a lot about her already, I'm sure, and a refresher course (and some fleshing-out of my own) can be found over at her journal. The long and short of Narcissa is that she's not done well without her family, she's very eager to be reunited with them, and although she won't genuinely like most people, she'll at least be cordial to most given her current social standing. (You catch more flies with honey, right?) I'm very open to potential plot, connections, friends, enemies, etc etc, so any and all ideas or random thoughts are very much appreciated. I hope this will prove enough of a jumping-off point to get her going in game; I'm very excited to write with you all!

I'm starting a new job tomorrow that has some really stringent security. Social networking sites as well as external emails are all blocked, which means no RPing for me at work. I'll only be on from about 6 - 11 EST weekdays, though my weekends should be unchanged. This isn't a permanent job, but I don't know how long it's going for.

Sorry for the drastic cut in my availability, but I'll so my best to keep up and reply when I can be on. Just letting you all know.

Hai guys! Back from holiday (got back on tuesday but since then have been stupidily busy or trying to fix one of my two PCs! yay)! Did you miss me? :D Anyone wanting any threads with Ali or Daph?
