[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: Good morning! I will as I can; I'm teaching for band camp at my old high school this week, and I'm gonna be busy working/getting paid haha. I'll be here as I can though :)

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Ooh, do have fun! XD

The quandary is this: I really love Phoenix, okay. She's a hell of a good character and she's interesting and nuanced--but for some reason, no one has been able to have a complete RP with her in forever. They always just fizzle out, and I don't like that. What can we do to put her into a more "mainstream" role in the asylum, do you think?

[Serafina]

Me: Well, seems like the best way to do that here is always to piss off–or endear oneself to–someone important.

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: I agree. She needs someone she has a strong relationship to, she needs something exciting to happen to her or because of her, etc. The problem is no one really has ties to Phoenix, and writing brand new interactions every time gets tedious yknow?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Precisely. All her ties are to Silvy's girls. XD

I need some mischief, that's what I need. Phoenix is a mischief-maker. *ponders*

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Though I wonder, too, if I couldn't put bits and pieces of her into a new character to get a better effect—reincarnate her, so to speak, the way you did with Mabel and Felix. Hmmmm.

[Serafina]

Me: Well, if it's mischief you're after, Sel is nothing if not mischevious. ;)

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: That's where we run into a problem, though. Phoenix is, but only in a practical way. All she wants is to live her life unbothered and eventually go home—she's not like Raven, who's plenty willing to screw people over for kicks. She's not even like Carlos, who knows he isn't leaving any time soon and just wants to make the most of it (plus he's just a lovably offbeat boy). That's why I'm now giving character reincarnation some thought. XD

[Audie Murphy]

Me: Hi guys :)

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Hello Audra! Do you still want to finish that hallway RP between Cerise and Garnet?

[Audie Murphy]

Me: If you are up to it I am

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: All right, I'll deliver a response posthaste.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Be anyone about for the weekend?

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: Sorry Hope, I've been crazy busy this week. I'll try and dole out replies soon!

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Thanks, love! And since you didn't ask but I'm excited anyway, here's my plan for darling Phoenix. XD

I am indeed going to let her out, like Lenore—but unlike Lenore, she's going to stick around here, because I don't think she's ever really going to go away in my head (she's about as stuck as Carlos, who is only slightly less vocal than Raven and Jason). So she'll still be able to talk to people, just not participate in actual canon. I made a new character to fill her spot; I'm quite proud of how she turned out. You should go see!

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Hello hello?

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: Sorry Hope! I provided replies and I LOVE Perse :)

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: ALSO, don't mind the new name change. I figured it's about time I actually make this real instead of some penname I developed when I was 12. If you'd still like to call me Iso out of habit,
that's entirely fine :)

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: All's good, my friend. Annie it is. XD

Thanks! I also adore her. Can we do an RP between her and Zoya when we dial down some? Kind of like how we did with Yvonne and Raven, like "new kid first comes in and chitchat ensues".

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: Absolutely! That would be great, perhaps once we finish up one of our current RPS :)

Also, I happened to have lost your number; if you still have mine, it should be the same and you can text me if you'd like :)

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: All right to both. :)

Oh goodness, sorry for the goddamn novel on Poe. That's the kind of character she is--you have to write tons to get in her head and see what's going on, otherwise her posts are abysmally short and it takes ten years to finish a conversation and figure out what she's thinking, and why, and how you have to go about working with that.

Not to mention she's a horribly tortured soul, and I like writing long posts for her because she hurts so bad her prose comes out gold. It also gives me plenty of opportunity to gut-punch the reader. XD

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: I absolutely love Poe! I think she's very interesting. With an older character, RPs can get very interesting :)

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Indeed. Poor Poe is sickeningly easy to manipulate; she's so old and so young all at once. She's certainly seen more in her fourteen years than any one person should ever, ever have to.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: I'm here if anyone else is.

[Audie Murphy]

Me: SORRY HOPE I AM HERE NOW

[Jo]

Me: It's been a while.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: A while indeed. And if you're looking for familiar faces, it will be a while longer--it would appear that we are bereft of life, at least for now, though I am still here and see, occasionally, the stumblings of the busy souls who pass through. Perhaps one day we will return to the vivacious activity of the days of old. For now, I am unsure.

Hello, Jo. How goes you?

[Jo]

Me: I go haunted and lifeless in school because that's what living in a den of Dementors does to you - word of advice, college sucks. You?

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: I could certainly fare worse, I suppose. I'm still trudging through my last year of high school; it's not going nearly as bad as last year, but I'm still a bit behind the cut as comes to scholarship/college apps and end-of-the-year assignments and such. *sigh* Ah well. So it goes.

Have you been writing much lately?

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: Hello! Anyone here? I'm home for the summer & incredibly bored.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Jesus H. Christ on a bike—it’s been nearly two years.

I knew one day someone would return for me!

[Annie, Have no fear of perfection-- you'll never reach it.]

Me: Hello!!!! College has kept me incredibly busy but I'm home for the summer & incredibly bored and I've been itching to write all semester! as forewarning, I need to spend some time revamping the characters I want to keep, and my writing skills may take some time to come back because I haven't written fiction in a LONG time.

[Hope , I belong here more than they do.]

Me: Not a worry, my dear lovely friend! G*d, have I missed you.

Jason: Oh, no, don’t worry! You don’t sound creepy at all.

Raven: Taking a lesson from you, huh Turner?

Jason: *gives a quiet, enigmatic smile*
