MODPOST: SHIFT WORKINS (aka these subject lines never make any sense)

[hughes]

SO. I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF STUFFZ (loreamara was kind enough to keep the Landamned calendar updated, as per my request 8D) AND TONIGHT, THE SHIFT WILL FINALLY CHANGE, and although I know some of you still need to do more with your visitor threads, you can just let that spill into the time alotted to the next shifts, if you want.

KAY SO. Other than letting you guys know I haven't been forgetting to change the shift like a weiner (XD), I'm here to let you guys know how posting for the newly-added dinner shift is gonna work:

Okay, so! It's simple! First off, given the fact that the doors to the rooms get locked after dinner is served, each thread is only going to have two people, right? Keep that in mind as I lay this out for ya.

1) After the intercom announces the shift change, you thread with your character's roommate in response to the intercom post, not in response to a new patient-made post. This is so there aren't a million different two-person posts all over the place in the comm, and also so that characters who are just waking up don't end up with weird continuity errors that would happen if they had to jump from one post to the next even if they aren't actually moving to a new area.

2) If your character's roommate hasn't posted yet, (and if you haven't already worked out stuff with the roommate's player about where your characters are positioned and whatnot) assume that the roommate hasn't yet gotten escorted to the room from the last shift and post as your character in response to the intercom. If your roommate has already posted, post in response to your roommate and not in response to the original intercom post. Basically, start the thread if your roommate ain't there already and jump into the thread said roommate made if they are. (Oh, and if you're the first one posting, and your roommate is someone who's just getting intro-ed this shift, assume they're sleeping in the other bed. 8D)

3) You MUST stick to that one thread with your character's roommate. This is kind of a no-brainer, but even though everyone's going to be responding to the same post, each thread is in its own separate room, so it wouldn't make sense for anyone between threads to interact. The only people who could join the threads other than the two roommates would be nurses.

4) Just to clarify, character intro posts get posted in response to the intercom post that they're introduced in, same as always. The comments on said post are just gonna be a little more crowded this time. XD; Also, same rules for posting as mentioned above apply: If you're intro-ing your character into a room where the roommate has already posted, post in response to the roommate, and if your intro-ing your character into a room where the roommate hasn't already posted, post in response to the original intercom post.

.....Okay. XD; I HOPE IT'S NOT TOO COMPLICATED. Just wanted to make sure I was detailed and clear about everything so as to minimize confusion. <3 HOOKAY. All right, time for intercomz postins. 8D Comment with any questions!

Edit: OH, something I forgot but which a bunch of you wisely did anyway: If you're the first poster to your thread, PLEASE put your room number as your subject line so as to make everything... not so confusing. XD; Thanks!

I LIVE!

ALL YOUR HOT PEOPLE ARE BELONG TO ME!

[forgot-it-all.livejournal.com]

YAY~~~~!

/wants to be a hot person/ u____u

[killing-suzie.livejournal.com]

I'm a liberated guy. I think most people are oh-so-hot.

...you're just a little... uh... young.

[forgot-it-all.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the age is definitely a deterrent. Give him a few years. XD /shot/

[fuyunohanabi.livejournal.com]

Jack's just gonna' end up with a harem, isn't he?

*grins*

[killing-suzie.livejournal.com]

I sure hope so! <3

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

I think Cliff and Zelos would demand a kung-fu fight for the womenz.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Not much point if Cliff and Zelos are in the harem though, is it? :P

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

WHAT. Pimps don't hang out in the harem. >[

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

You're assuming here that they have a choice in the matter and won't just swoon at Jack's feet.

Yohji ut pimps them both anyway, what with him actually having been a pimp in canon.

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

CLIFF FITTIR DOES NOT SWOON.

That makes Cliff even more pimp. He's pimping another pimp. *BRICK'D*

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

That's what they all say!

XDD Should Yohji start calling him 'daddy' then? *is shot*

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.

Zalia. Come here. I need to bite you.

[never-learns.livejournal.com]

I think the gentleman doth protest too much ^_^

Yohji: *purrs* What would you prefer? Cliff-sama~? Nii-san? Sir?

I'm sorry. I'm an evil evil Zalia

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

SILANCE, HUMAN!!11

Cliff: NOT HELPING.

[never-learns.livejournal.com]

*pokes teh Klausian*

Yohji: *sprawls* Who said I was intending to help? ^_~

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

Cliff: *grumbles about punk kids taunting their elders*

[never-learns.livejournal.com]

Yohji: Is it taunting if I intend to deliver? <3

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

Cliff: 'Depends on what you intend to deliver.

[never-learns.livejournal.com]

Yohji: *grins* What would you like me to deliver?

[ryuuseisui.livejournal.com]

Would it be okay for me to come off my hiatus and hop back in now? I'm not completely caught up on things yet, but this seems like a good opening, so could I come up with some kind of excuse for Ravi being quiet lately? XD;;

[beforehertime.livejournal.com]

XD I don't think it would be a problem!

[ryuuseisui.livejournal.com]

Phew, thanks! ♥

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead!

[ryuuseisui.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ♥

[tartaros-avatar.livejournal.com]

ah... if my room mate isn't new, but hasn't posted this Landel's day, should I assume they're still asleep?

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

That would probably be best, yeah. :3

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to check and see if you made sure to include all the new characters in this new patient annoucement. We've got Tsuzuki (Keanu Reeves), Rock Lee (Brian Jones), Haruhi (Regina Dawson), and... Cameron (Matt Sherrow), I guess, though Emily hasn't made her journal or anything like that. I believe those are all of them. Anyway, looking at the intercom post, I don't think you have them in there, so I'm going to edit it and add the names, all right? Sorry about that, I usually don't infringe on your intercom duties, but they've got to be introduced.

[gotahunch.livejournal.com]

*snorts at Tsuzuki's name*

[hughes]

Wait, I thought they were going to be announced beginning of nightshift...? D: And do they have roommates yet?

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't think you ever mentioned that to me. I think I told a few people they would get announced now, so... It isn't too big of a deal, right?

Yeah, I put Haruhi with Haruhi (since that was the only open spot) and Cameron with Snape. Rock Lee and Tsuzuki have had roommates for a while

[notearthlogic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I put Haruhi with Haruhi (since that was the only open spot)

I can't believe that wasn't done intentionally. Hahahah, I seriously laughed when I found out about it. Thank you, this will prove to be very interesting.

[afraidnot.livejournal.com]

Haruhi and Haruhi made me lol. XD

[damned-visitors.livejournal.com]

I HAVE TOO. Since like OCTOBER. It's cornpatrol. IM me if you have a question dammit ;[

-Emily

[burningvigor.livejournal.com]

JOIN THE COMMS, THEN. XD

[damned-visitors.livejournal.com]

......shit i should do that

Newb question:

[sitar-player-ix.livejournal.com]

Newbie question here. I've just been introduced, but my roommate has already made a post; do I reply to the intercom post or to my roommate's post? Just wondering.

Re: Newb question:

[hughes]

"Also, same rules for posting as mentioned above apply: If you're intro-ing your character into a room where the roommate has already posted, post in response to the roommate, and if your intro-ing your character into a room where the roommate hasn't already posted, post in response to the original intercom post."

So yeah, respond to the roommate in that case, not the intercom. XD

Re: Newb question:

[sitar-player-ix.livejournal.com]

Kewl. Thanks, that was slightly confusing. =P

Re: Newb question:

[hughes]

Yeah, s'okay, I was like.... braindead when I wrote all that. 8D

[reunion.livejournal.com]

Myyyy roommate is on hiatus. |D;; So. Er. Yes. D:?! Kadaj went straight back to his room after his visitor thing ended so that he could mope anyway, and... is... yes. CONFUSION.

[hughes]

Uhhhhm, if they're on hiatus, then they're SLEEPING. FOREVER. Or something. XD; So yeah, assume they're sleeping.

[reunion.livejournal.com]

..... BUT THAT MAKES IT SO TEMPTING FOR KADAJ TO KILL NARUTO IN HIS SLEEP. FOR NO REASON. DDDDDDDDDD: YOU KNOW HE'D DO IT, TOO. Not that he will, just that he WOULD. .... If that makes sense, which it doesn't. Shit, I need more coffee. XD;;

[hughes]

.....THERE COULD BE A MAGIC SHIELD OF NO-KILL-U-NO-JUTSU AROUND HIM?

[reunion.livejournal.com]

WHAT. D: NO FAIR. Even if it makes sense because he NEVER DIES.

[afraidnot.livejournal.com]

BELIEVE IT.

[subversive.livejournal.com]

AUGH. DX
