[OOC] State of the Pups
JUMP TO:
ME | SHARI | SIRIUS | PEPPER | CALIBAN | WALLACE | LUX | CLARK | TONY
State of the Me: So, I had my minor breakdown wherein I essentially shut down and couldn't look at the internet for a few days, but I think that was a good thing, that I needed to have a reason to give myself a break. I'm feeling much, much better now, seem to have a handle on the new school term and all that (not to mention that the biggest source of my stress is mostly gone now), but I'm still trying to tread cautiously. I want to make very, very certain that I ease back into the game and don't get overloaded. This is of particular note because the next two months will be very plot-heavy for the game in general and my pups in specific.
Shari Cooper | broken_brushes
from REMEMBER ME
Compared to normal, this was a very slow month for Shari, which is entirely my fault, because god knows she had plot. The important thing is, she got Loss Services launched, and although I haven't made a post for it yet, the bakery will be opening at the beginning of February (I keep pushing this back, but I want to do it justice, especially since I have other people involved, too). She's come to an unsteady truce with Peter, and overall I need to get her working more on her personal relationships again, even though she'll resist.
Wanted Threads: DEAN, PeterN (natch), Sam, Bill, PeterP, Saffron, hot flirtatious dudes
Home Plot: n/a, unless someone wants her to go home with them
Sirius Black | not_the_grim
from HARRY POTTER
Sirius and Cassie finally slept together on NYE, and it was lovely and glorious and she's pretty much got him wrapped around her finger now. He is perfectly satisfied with this turn of events, and I'm proud of him because he's finally becoming the man we see the most of in canon rather than the mischievous kid. Between Cassie and Harry, he has responsibility, and that is exactly what he needed: People to take care of, even if he insists he's rubbish at it. I was actually really surprised by how well he handled Neil after Mike's death, as Ashley and I predicted awhile back that it would be very, very bad, and probably filled with crazy sex. Yet, not. Who knew?
Wanted Threads: Harry, Cassie, Remus, Neil, Gwaine (post-fight club), Ishiah, Ron, Hermione (I feel like I am forgetting someone, I am sure you will tell me who)
Home Plot: Nothing planned yet
Pepper Potts | wildlyconflictd
from IRON MAN
I feel like I should just have "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, TONY" in giant, flashing red font here and leave it at that, LOL. Um, Pepper's had kind of a big month, in case you didn't know. In list form: 1) Tony caused a mini nuclear reaction and FLEW OFF WITH IT, leaving Pepper to cling to poor Peter and assume he was dead. 2) HER BOYFRIEND DISCOVERED A SPACE STATION. Then took her up onto it, where they had a massive fight. 3) Said boyfriend figured out he probably needed to not be a giant dickhead and made her a truly horrific birthday cake. With strawberries. Which made him a giant dickhead. 4) Somehow, they still went on their FIRST DATE after this. 5) THE SKY IS FALLING. D:
As an aside, when I was away from the internet, I spent most of my time playing the Sims 3 (this is one of my coping mechanisms when I get super stressed), and I put Tony and Pepper into a really nice house overlooking the ocean and mostly let them do their own thing for the purposes of my perverse curiosity. Tony spends most of his time in the hot rod-filled basement at his inventing table and/or drafting table, making things from SCRAPS (seriously). He uses the blow torch an alarming amount. Pepper is inordinately concerned with fashion and cleaning things. XD
Wanted Threads: Tony, Peter and MJ, obvs. Niko, Brodie, Ianto, post-freakout. People who know Tony.
Home Plot: No idea, nothing planned yet
Caliban Leandros | dichotomos
from THE CAL LEANDROS SERIES
Cal's had a very slow month, but what little interaction he's getting has been important, I think. Manda and I are still playing out Sarah's item post, which is sure to have some consequences, although I'm not exactly sure what yet. He's also just now facing down Trixa in fight club, and she's recently been told he's half-Auphe, so that should get interesting both during the fight and after. He's going to end up liking her, I can just tell: She's a hot chick who could kick his ass. George aside, he definitely has a type. That Trixa now officially hates and is scared of him just makes it all the more interesting.
Wanted Threads: Niko, Ishiah, Sarah, Trixa, Sookie, Thalia
Home Plot: Does anyone want to go kill monsters in NYC? Because I am completely up for that.
Wallace Wells | wallace_wells
from SCOTT PILGRIM
Relatively slow month for Wallace, too. As of NYE, he had completely and officially given up on pursuing Kon, and he feels better about life in general now. If Kon's interested, he's going to have to be the one doing the chasing, Wallace has had enough of it. I've been thinking, it's past time for Wallace and Alcuin to have a divine, pantsless party in their big house with the unsettling portrait of Delaunay in the front room. Wallace does want to conserve some of it, but he DID get vodka and lube for NDPD, and will be wanting to do something with it.
Wanted Threads: GUYS. Hot guys, not so hot guys, gay guys, straight guys. Just please, NO TEENAGERS. :|
Home Plot: Personally, I would love to have Wallace wake up in his old apartment on the mattress on the floor with Scott and 2 people from the island, but that's just me. >.>
Lux Cassidy | illuxinated
from LIFE UNEXPECTED
Things are actually going fairly well for Lux just now, which is good, because they'll be going to shit again soon enough, I'm sure. She and Jason had sex on Christmas and they continue to be adorable and lovely, which will make it all the more tragic when the shit hits the fan. Baze is building her a treehouse next to his hut, and they've reached an awkward understanding. They're working on fixing things. The best thing about this month, of course, was that she got to hurt Tim and make him actually need those damned crutches he came in with. :DDD She also stole Kon's Lego Batman game and stuffed it down her shirt, which was fun. Man, I'm going to miss these shenanigans on behalf of Jason's honor after she finds out he puts people's heads in a duffel bag.
Wanted Threads: Baze, Jason, Tim, Bucky, Zuko, Effy, Alex, any and all teenagers, people who know her dad or boyfriend
Home Plot: She's going back to Gotham with Jason and Tim.

EEEEEE. Okay, let me tell you, sitting on this adorable puppy has been such a wrench. I am so ready to play him in normal, non-debut-type threads, I am so ready for him to know EVERYONE, I am so excited for him to start on the GAE, I'm just fucking PUMPED. And waiting is hard. D: It's a good thing, as I don't want to get lost amidst other plot, and Clark would be out there herding people to safety anyway. Plus, I like being able to say he's had his adjustment month. But yes, I AM EXCITE.
Wanted Threads: EVERYONE. YOU. GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR PEOPLES.
Home Plot: 1) Claire and Heroes-verse, 2) Back home to Smallville/Metropolis: WHO WANTS IN?
Tony Stonem | well_yeah_but
from SKINS
TONY TONY TONY. Guys, sometimes I just go look at his wiki page for awhile, like I might make time go faster that way. If it's possible, I think US Skins being so fucking horrific made me want to play him all the more. I've got lots to do in February, but I am definitely looking eagerly forward to March and all the crazy shit Tony's debut will bring with it.
Wanted Threads: I'd really like to start tentatively talking about who Tony can manipulate, if you guys are open to that, because I'd like to have him on his game right out of the gate.
Home Plot: Has anyone talked about going home to Bristol yet? Otherwise, I'd just love to throw him in any plot during the March session.
