Hey there! Just got back from a local anime convention, so my brain is trashed. Sorry folks that my guys (scarefaux, otnemememento, & girlsandgadgets) are threading with- I don't mean to be totally slow with tags. I'll have to answer tags tomorrow. :(

This is the official Lounge post for players who want to plan out specific Nightshift threads ahead of time in order to foster desired kinds of interaction and character development. Allow us to stress that SCHEDULING THREADS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.

Please use the following template when commenting. We suggest bolding important points so that people who are scanning the post can get a quick idea of what you're looking for. You might also want to use the usernames of the characters whose attention you want so that people can easily ctrl+F to find things relevant to their interests. Your request can range from as vague as "I want my character to make new friends!" to as specific as "I want my character to thread with a megalomaniacal antagonist, if possible."

SUBJECT LINE: character name(s)
Character:
Interaction/Development Wanted: (what kind of plotting/interaction you're looking for, any specific characters you're already going to be threading with, characters you'd like to thread with, etc.)
When: (be as specific or un-specific as you want)

First off: apologies to everyone for going off on hiatus sooner than expected. It was partially due to the move, but also just due to lack of energy/motivation, so I can't claim to be entirely blameless there. T_T I'm more than willing to backthread with anyone who wants to continue, especially Serey, with whom I only got in one post to lunch! Sorry! D: If you were backthreading with either Ophelia, Utena, or Scott Pilgrim and wish to continue, please comment here to let me know.

Second, it's official: three characters is too many for me. In my current state of mind and life, one would be ideal, but I really don't want to let go of two characters at once, so I'll keep it at two for now. It was hard to decide who was going to be dropped, but I finally settled on Ophelia as the one to go. She's the one I stress out over the most, mainly because it's hard to be totally confident in being IC with her when a lot of her behaviour in canon depends on her having more bite to back up her bark than I gave her. I really should have given her more offensive ability to suit her personality better, but alas, I was too attached to how well I'd worked out the rules for her healing, and I wanted to keep that when forced to choose limitations. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. ^^;; Anyway, she had a good year in the game, and I'm very happy with all that's happened with her, especially with Team Assassin (♥), Makiko Kisugi, Kio, Tsubaki, Kagura, Takasugi, Callisto, Raph, and Teresa. I may re-app her or another Claymore character at some point in the future, but it'll probably be a little ways off at this point.

She won't be disappearing right away, however. I'm hoping to get in a fitting last thread for her this NS, the details of which I'm currently working out. So, in order to stick to two characters while Ophelia is still in play, I'm going to keep Scott Pilgrim on hiatus for a little while and just focus on Ophelia and Utena. I don't think he has concrete plans for this NS other than wanting to join up with Indy again. Elisabeth, if you want, you can assume that Indy finds Scott sleeping like a rock in his room, quite unwakeable.

So, yeah. Hopefully this helps me to not be the total slow posting fail machine I've been for the last little while. XD;;

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I totally disappeared yesterday and accomplished absolutely nothing. If anyone wants to backthread (or continue backthreading) I am 100% up for it and will catch up on all my tags today.

Buuuut tomorrow I have to start working on a paper, so I'm going to be slow posting at best until Tuesday afternoon. SORRY. ;_;

After some confusion about when and how the internet was going to be set up, and then actually getting my computer set up, I'm back from the hiatus that was longer than I'd intended for it to be. That being said.

Backthreading?

Mika: I don't think Alfred and Honey had too much to discuss, but I would like for Alfred to actually give Honey the glitter, if that's all right with you.

Abe-mun: I'm so sorry for my absolute fail. If you want to backthread, I'm totally up for that.

EDIT:

Fainn: I posted Alfie for Bruce... a day or so ago. I assume that you're up for backthreading, but I just wanted to let you know that the post is there.

OKAY SO it occurred to me that I actually have no idea what I'm doing for NS!

Fainn, are Batman and Robin meeting up or something? Bats told him last night to come find him, and I thiiiiink that's his plan.

Sra, I'm assuming Haine and Badou will be up to antics.

And, does anyone want to adopt Asch for the night? I didn't really make plans for him (I may hiatus him), but if anyone wants the pleasure of his company, please let me know!

So. It turns out there IS a god in Spain and he freaking loves me in terms of the internet.

But, since job hunting and language learning should be top priority, I'm only bringing babies out when they're wanted for NS.

Chihaya thinks he's going to die again, so he'll probably just sleep.
Maia, if you want Rude you got him.
And Soubi is stalking Ritsuka anyway.

BULLETIN BOARD CENSORING
We've seen many varying opinions on this, but I think we mods are ultimately deciding in the end that yes, serious censorship should be going on in the kind of restrictive Daytime setting that the Landel's staff is trying to facilitate.

( IMPORTANT! CONTINUED UNDER THE CUT. )

DAY 45: "REAL LIFE" EVENT
This Nightshift will be event-free, but the cycle of Day/Night 45 is a different story altogether. Basically, IF YOU CHOOSE, ONE of your characters will spend the entirety of Day/Night 45 absolutely convinced that they are their "real" self. Basically, they will wake up brainwashed by the Institute in the same way that visitors are, thinking that everything they remember from their "canon" was indeed a big delusion and that they imagined all the abnormal aspects of the Institute, handwaving away any sources that say otherwise.

( IMPORTANT! CONTINUED UNDER THE CUT. )

OKAY. I think that's it! Thanks for reading and please respond with any questions, comments, or concerns! ♥
