I'd like to turn to a type of song that people like myself find ourselves subjected to with increasing frequency as time goes on, and that is the college alma mater. You'll find yourself at a reunion of grads, and old undergrads, and eh... somebody will start croaking out one of these things and everyone will gradually join in -- each in his own key, of course -- until the place is just soggy with nostalgia. Well, a typical such song might be called Bright College Days, and might go like this. Bright college days, O carefree days that fly, To thee we sing with our glasses raised on high. Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls. Turn on the spigot, pour the beer and swig it, and gaudeamus igit-ur. Here's to parties we tossed, To the games that we lost, We shall claim that we won them some day. To the girls young and sweet, To the spacious back seat of our beat up Chevrolet.

HEADSUP EVERYONE ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF DORMS! [16 Jul 2012|12:13am]
Congratulations: Your power just went out! Startled by the first appearance of his fireworks after finishing a book, Theo lost control of his electrokinesis and blasted the dormitory's electricity grid.

The power will be out for a little more than 1 hour, until the Montenegro flying monkeys get it back up again. (The wireless is still around & laptops can subsist on batteries, of course, but the lights are all out. As are any desktops or TVs.)

Hey guys,

So I've been with this game from the very start. I've seen to change and evolve, people come and go, and it's been a real pleasure getting to know all of you. You're all incredibly sweet people, perhaps one of the most enthusiastic groups I've met, and it's made the decision I made tonight a difficult one. Believe me, I've mulled over it night after night. When you've been in a community since its opening day, and when you've come to regard its players as your friends, walking away isn't something you want to do. But the truth of the matter is that it's time for me to leave [info]montenegrou – I'm not the kind of person who putters around a community uselessly, and my interest has been waning as of late. Rather than sit on these characters, it's probably for the best that I let someone else who has time to play them for you guys.

This community has helped me grow as a writer in the most surprising ways. I've never played mythology before – not for this long – and writing here was an exercise in balancing an original character and an established canon in one figure. I've played numerous characters while I've been here, probably more than ten, but my cast has dwindled down. I feel a little like a car stuck in the mud: wheels spinning, but not moving forward. My writing and enthusiasm have died down, which makes me feel like it's time for me to let these characters go.

So this is a good-bye and a thank you: I've gotten to be friends with some of you, and I really hope we get to write and play together again sometime soon. I hope you guys continue to have fun at [info]montenegrou. And as always, if you need to reach me, I'm always on gchat.

Until next time,
Tiff, [info]cronut

Right on Tiff's heels, I'm sorry to report that I'm going to be leaving the game, too -- which is ridiculous timing considering I just posted with my characters and did a round of activity. But trust, I've been wrestling with this decision for a long, long time and finally have to acknowledge that simply poking my head out of the woodwork every 2-4 weeks isn't cutting it -- y'all deserve way better, and I've obvs been struggling for ages. But I absolutely loved my characters and writing with you guys, what little I did; I've been a quietly lurking part of this game since it first opened its doors and I'll miss the potential I never got to execute. There were storylines I wanted to pursue and wrap up, but I need to admit defeat if I can't be consistent.

Cheers, catch you guys on the flipside, and hopefully I'll see you in other games! ♥ Feel free to add me if you want to stay in touch. :>
