Noob Alert!
Hii :-D

I'm Marisa and I'm hoping to get into this 4+ year game you guys have going on :-) I recently graduated from college (omg it was a week ago! I been a grown-up for a week! o.0) and suddenly have a crapload of free time that I'm not used to having. Morningstar Manor looks like really fun place to spend that free time!

My character is Ben, he's a college freshman interested in art - specifically, his aspiration is to be a comic book artist. His profile is here. Basically, he's the black sheep from a rich family who wants a new start. Here's to hoping he can find a place at the Manor :-D

My AIM is TheOrangeHoodie and my email is theorangehoodie@gmail.com. I'm always bored, so drop me a line! We can play or plot or whatever. Gimme something to do other than lie around eating hot pockets! :-P

Edit: I prolly shoulda added that I live in New York (EST -5:00) and I'm online virtually any time, any day, whenever :-P

Welcome Marisa. I hope you'll be as happy here as we have been.

I'm Sal, I'm in the UK and I play a metric shedload of pups who are listed on my 'diagnosis' page. All and any are available for plotting because plotting is what makes the Manor go round.

I'm essayel on AIM, and Yahoo messenger and essayel@gmail.com for Gtalk - which is what most of us use these days. We also use Gdocs a lot and have been playing around with Etherpad.

Ben definitely needs to meet Charlie at the gallery, who also knows a lot about being a black sheep.

So glad you could join us.

Oooh!!! Another young man! (Down Emma!!!!)

'Scuse me, I'm Sam and I have five pups, one of whom is Emma, she's a freshman at Rutherford on their Arts Programme, so there could be some plot there. She's not sure what to do with her art just yet, but art is what she wants to do. The other four are all listed on my diagnosis page, and feel free to ping me about anything!

I'm in the UK (you're gonna love time zones in a bit), and available generally after 1pm EST midweek, or whenever at the weekends!

Oh yeah, I'm on Yahoo as anghara_13 and on AIM as AngharaLlewelyn and on Googletalk as anghara13. Is it a surprise that my primary character is called Anghara?

Pleased to see you here Marisa, welcome to the Manor!

Welcome to the insanity! I'm Kelly, mod and one of the creators of Morningstar Manor. I have a large number of pups which you can see if you go to the MM_Kel journal. I'm in Texas so on during Central Standard Time. During the week I'm on most of the day - weekends are varied.

I'm celticangel76 on GTalk, celticangel76@earthlink.net on MSN. Feel free to ping anytime! I have two pups who would totally love to see Ben's art. Seth Roth who is an artist and exhibits in Charlie's gallery and Zack Pace who owns his own advertising firm but went to art school with Seth and is a total geek when it comes to things like comics, movies, sci-fi, etc. They're known in the Manor as the Hobbits since their PBs are Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan. :)

	I felt the same for a long time. :D I started off with Emily and she was alone for over 6 months, until Thomas and then Lucas got a promotion from restaurant NPC to pup. They were sneaky like that! (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm reachable though googletalk as iconphreak and that's what i use for writely (aka googledocs) as well. elsewise, i have tigerfly13 for aim, summerstarshine@hotmail.com for msn and sxxyfutterby21 for yahoo messenger :)

	Ooh, where at in NY? I'm from the Bronx, but I just spent 4 years of college in Binghamton. Probably Ben would like to get to know Logan and Travis then. Ben's the age where he should be a second year in college, but he's a little behind and will only be starting his first year in the fall. :-D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wine country - aka Naples area. It's pretty to look at... not so pretty to drive through with ice and snow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hello Marisa and welcome to the Manor! I'm Elina (with various nick names) and I'm from Finland so my time zone at the moment is GMT/UTC +2, but in two weeks I'm moving to UK for five months so during that time it'll naturally be GMT/UTC 0! Because of this move - it's for work practise - my life is a bit hectic now so I can't make promises on how much I'll be around until around mid-June when I'm settled in England. Despite that and especially in normal conditions I'm around daily and always up for plotting, tagging and chatting. :)

I have three pups though I feel a fourth one is on its way...

Emily Brandon - lives in 7134 with Wayne the cat, is an accomplished chef working in the finest (and most expensive) restaurant in town, La Fee Verte, is in a relationship with Vincenzo Orsini, and is a generally very kind and friendly lady.

Thomas Avery - lives in 12221 and is the resident douche bag of the Manor. He's originally British, his family is sickeningly rich and he himself is a spoiled brat grown into a handsome man who thinks he's better than anyone else. If you want to punch him in the face, get in line. :D Because of his infatuation and deep knowledge in wines, he endures the humiliation of customer service working as a sommelier in La Fee Verte.

Lucas Fielding - Avery's good-for-nothing-but-frienlier-than-he-looks nephew, 19 years old, sent to live with Avery by his mother - Avery's sister - because the boy is a college drop out trouble maker bad ass rebel. He's also a black sheep of the family, and these days gets money by working as an assistant cook in La Fee Verte (having all my pups in that restaurant was an honest accident, I swear!), getting his tattoo sleeves done, getting into trouble and minding his own business.

You can reach me the best with ilmatart in googletalk (ilmatart@gmail.com is my email) but I occasionally remember I also have AIM: arancionissimo. :)

	Nice to meet you :-D oOooh, it seems like Thomas and Ben came from the same mold, but that's what Ben's trying to run away from. It would be interesting to see them clash. And Lucas is about his age and more his type, so they could talk too :-D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ilmatar 2009-05-25 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	Both of my boys are black sheep, really, but Thomas is sure not to let anyone know that while Lucas is fighting against everything his family is all about. Too bad he likes comfortable living too, though. :D But Lucas and Ben should meet! Lucas seems really badass but he's actually nicer than you'd think. Yay for new people, pups and young men! :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

A verrrrry belated hi! I'm Kristina and I'm EST too!

I play Lara, who owns a record store and concert venue, Bridget, who has twin toddlers and is on the outs with her husband Phin, and a few other people who pop up every now and then, like Lis (she has a band) and Mark (he works at Lara's concert venue).

I'm so glad to see more people joining this game! I hope you enjoy it here.
