Pax Letale

[In front of the door to #308 there is a small Pyrex dish, covered, with a torn piece of paper taped to the lid. In a broad scrawl it reads: How about NOW? Inside the dish are neatly wrapped tamales, freshly made.]

Hey, is it cool if I drop by your office?

Got plans 3/4?

You said we were going to talk, so let's talk. Tonight at CASKET. I can be there any time after 8.

Yo this is Rick, out to everyone here.  COME ON TO THE SEVENTH FLOOR ON SUNDAY FOR THE SUPERBOWL! 

And like, it will be the WHOLE FLOOR too.   I'm throwing open my door at about 3 for the pregame show and drinks and the usual chips and all.  Sam said he has beer at his, and Madden and some of his games.  Pia is cooking in her place.   Party can go into the hallway, there will be some poker tables out there, but what good is a Superbowl party if you can't see the game?  (Though everyone will be HEARING the game from my place, all the way up to the tower!)

Help out and like, bring a dessert or a drink, right?  See you there and

GO STEELERS!

Not pregnant.

((Backdated to January 19th, 3 days after this exchange.))

We have to talk. Now.

In case anyone is curious when the commercials finally start running, yes, that is my voice on promo spots for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire down in Irwindale this spring. Not even my face, sadly, so no recognition there but a job is a job, right? Don't even ask me why they thought my voice worked so well. You would have thought it would be all about my cleavage, huh?

I also wanted to give any football fans a heads-up... or maybe a bottoms-up is the better word! ;) If you're watching the coming Superbowl, keep an eye out for the new Reebok Easytone commercial debuting at some point that night. More specifically, look for the Daisy Dukes paired with the purple pair of sneakers. Believe it or not, it was crazy-fun to film.

Guess there is life beyond Disney. LOL

And I'm back, safe and sound. I hope everyone had a lovely little holiday.

Is anyone up to anything interesting for New Year's? ;)

Thank you again for taking care of things, hon. You have to come up for dinner or something. <3 you!

Hello everyone! I was told this was how the tenants mostly interact - it's much better than a white board in the middle of the hallway, I'll say that much!

My name is Katya and I just moved into 301 pretty recently; if you haven't seen me, it's because I was back with family in Sacramento. But now I'm back! School doesn't really give us a long enough break, but that's OK.

I know there are two other tenants on the third floor, but I look forward to meeting you all, and I hope you had a Merry Christmas :)

Hey, fellow denizens! Your ol' buddy Jack here, sharing a little holiday cheer with those of you stuck here away from your families and loved ones. :) It's more holiday cheer for me, but it's just too good to keep to myself, so I'm inflicting it on all of you too.

Some of you know I had an audition a few weeks ago for a role in a feature film. It was one of those open call sort of things, where you come in and read something you prepare yourself and the casting team decide if they want to call you back for a second round. Well, I just got a call from my agent, and she said the casting director loved me and wants me to come in for a scripted reading! This is my first callback for a feature, and I couldn't be more excited.

Oh yeah, it's not just any old role in a feature, either. It's for the lead role in a live-action movie based on the Japanese animated series Lupin the Third. The producers specifically wanted unknowns in the principal roles and I'm about as unknown as they come and since the only screen credits I have are tv, that made me a candidate. Nevermind that I'm such a perfect fit for Lupin it's almost like typecasting.

The callback's not until the middle of January, so I have time to prepare. I won't get the script from my agent til next week, but if anyone's interested in helping me by reading the other parts, let me know! Ren, I'm going to need to hang onto the DVDs you loaned me for a little longer. :)

BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER. I'm glad I have my fantastic family here in Pax to share it with. <3

Kami, I hope you haven't left yet and can see this. I think I'm going to explode from happy. :) Let me know if you have a little time to spare for me to get it out of my system, okay? Text or call or come down or something. <3

I hope I got all the cookies right. <3 I tried to match you each with something that I thought you'd like best. Shae, you better appreciate those pralines. It took three tries to get them right! ;)

I'm heading home for another long weekend today so I'd really appreciate it, Naea, if you could feed the fish and ferns again. You're the best.

I'll miss you all. I'll be back late Monday.

Be good or, if you can't, don't get caught. <3

((OOC: If you want to know what cookies everyone got, ping me.))

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I'm back in residence and I missed you all. ;)

Naea, hon, thank you so much for taking care of my plants and Eeenie, Meenie, and Moe. They look about as perky as fish and ferns ever do. You're the best and I owe you a treat of your choice.

Speaking of treats... I have the first batch of Christmas cookies up for grabs. They're just plain chocolate chips and I had to leave some back with Dad but I still managed to smuggle 4 dozen back here. First come, first serve. Unless you offer really good bribes and then I'll set some aside. ;)

This song echoes down the hall from the open door of Jack's apartment after about an hour of random guitar noodling and singing, a wry and slightly drunk quality to his voice.

Oh forum intro posts, why are you so nerve-wracking? It's not like I'm even meeting anyone face to face yet.

Hello! If anyone's noted boxes going up to the second floor, they're mine. I'm Prudence, but you can call me Pru, it's less puritanical.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to meeting people face to face, though this forum is awesome considering how much I'm online ANYWAY. REALLY looking forward to the Halloween party! I hope that even though I'm a newbie I'm still invited :D. If anyone needs help with their costumes, I'd totally be happy to help out - I work as an FX/prop designer, so I have the talent. Or so I'd like to think, LOL.

Um, yeah. That's about it.

Oh, and I was going to throw up some last minute decorations along the second floor, since I'm the only one on it? Hope no one minds. It won't be anything as elaborate as what the landlord did, or so I hear. Sounds like it was a hoot. Anyone have pictures left over from that? I'd love to see it.

OH. And. Really, I'm almost done, I swear, I never talk this much - if anyone's on the L4D2 servers, my nick is last_girl. Nick is my character, if you touch him, I will end you. Looking forward to meeting everyone :D

hi. so I just moved into 104 and I'm trying to figure out this message board thing. I'm not really very familiar with the whole non-pornographic section of the internet. there's more stuff here than I thought. I thought it was just ebay and ask jeeves and

anyway

my name's Kaminski. I work for L.A. Youth Outreach. I'd link them but I can't find their website. if you have some money lying around and you want to make a charitable donation, I suggest L.A. Youth Outreach. our last basketball wound up in a dumpster today and apparently there was someone living in that dumpster and he claimed the ball as his and I tried to get it back but he pulled out this syringe and started chasing me with it, so I let him keep the ball. so we could probably use some more balls. and a website I guess.

since I'm new to the neighborhood, I'm going to need to know the location of 1) all bars within walking distance, 2) the nearest 24 hour diner, 3) the cheapest mexican restaurant.

if anyone needs any help with anything, I don't know, I'm good at spanish so. telenovelas I guess. I also have a talent for determining whether food that's past its expiration date is still edible, mostly due to years of experience.

oh yeah, I learned about emoticons today. check it out.

Hey, fellow denizens! Your ol' buddy Jack needs a favor, now that shit has settled down around here. Does anyone have a copy of this Japanese cartoon "Castle of Cagliostro" I could borrow for a few days? I'm preparing for an audition and need to do some research. I will TOTALLY make it worth your while if you can help me out. Comps, backstage passes, whatever you want, your ol' buddy Jack will hook you up. 305, open door policy in effect. Thanks!

Hey, Rick! Sorry I never got in touch with you when I moved in, I was having girl problems three-day drunk fests will do that to a guy all that weird shit with the building got to me I guess. Hell of a housewarming!

Anyway, pleasure to meet a fellow thespian! Let me know when's a good time and I'll take you up on that offer of coffee and talking shop. Hey, would you be interested in coming along for the ride next time I head up to Hollywood to meet with my agent? She's dynamite, really enjoys giving new guys in town their first big break. I'll help you pull your book together to show her. Never let it be said that ol' Jack doesn't look out for his fellow performers. Ciao, babe!

When the building changed, I went around with my camera and took photos of every floor. I just got those pictures back. Like everything else, the changes had disappeared. I guess this leaves a Mass Hypnosis effect as the only theory remaining...

Hair is pink now.

Hey, neighbors! Jack Mallory here, the new occupant of apartment 305 so no need to call the cops. I'm an actor, I've done mostly tv work and some commercials. Some of you may know me better as Jack Daniels, the "rock-n-roll" comic at The Comedy Store on Thursdays. I got connections all over Hollywood, so let me know if there's anything you want to see and I'll hook you up. Anything for my fellow Pax Letale denizens!

So does anyone know what's up with this place? It didn't look like this when I was here a few weeks ago. Far be it from me to look a gift upgrade in the mouth and it BETTER be free, there's no fucking way I'm paying for it, but it looks like a film set or something. If it is, I'm going to kill my agent. Really nice work. The Egyptian tomb thing in the lobby is FUCKING CREEPY a particularly festive touch.

Anyway, I think I'm going to explore the rest of the place, check out the scenery. Especially of the female variety. Maybe I'll run into some of you ladies. Ciao, babes!
