Have things been crazy or what?  I mean, aside from people leaving in flocks--would you call a group of people a flock, or is there a real word for that?--and floods and Gilligan-ing it out on the beach, there's the mess with--well, you know.  Everything happens, and everything includes curses, vampires, dealing with friends leaving, and making ( Read more... )

[Penny has not been to the Welcome Center today.  In fact, she hasn't left the sofa at home since this morning when she made a booze run.  She hasn't even bothered to get out of her pajamas and robe (no, not even when she left the house earlier).  There's a drink in her hand and a number of odd bottles--all empty--in view.  The flowers Chris gave ( Read more... )

[The video is focused on a small pile of paper fortunes. Some are visible: "Things aren't always as they seem." "Your life will take a new turn." "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Penny doesn't bother turning the camera towards her.]I usually really like fortune cookies. Sure, they don't always taste great, but they're fun ( Read more... )

I think the City reached new levels of weird yesterday.  I was--and I'm not even joking--a brain in a jar.  And I could see, which was neat, and I think I was connected to the network since I could see posts, but I never did figure out how to post myself.  I was so, so glad to have my body back at midnight.  It's a step up from having heads cut off ( Read more... )

There's tons to talk about, isn't there?  Curses, the Time Bomb concert--which was pretty great, by the way, and anyone who missed it should definitely go next time Curt puts on something like that--but there's something else that's been hitting a lot of people hard.

People keep leaving.

I know, not a new and exciting thing, but it never gets easier ( Read more... )

And a late welcome back to school to everyone!  I hope your summers were amazing and that you're ready for the new semester!

I'm Penny--forget what all of the official enrollment papers say and let's get off on equal footing--and I'm so excited to be teaching two sections of an introductory level art class at TCU!  This is my second year teaching ( Read more... )

Someone tell me there's a curse today.  Please?

...And if there's not a curse, could you maybe to lie to me for a few days and say there is?

[ooc: Regarding this.  Juuust when she finds a nice, normal guy...
P.S. I fail at Poly!  Sorry. ._.]

This month's been pretty quiet, hasn't it?  Like the deities decided to give us a break.  Fun little curses instead of giant, evil apocalyptic curses.  I like that.  And there was a lot of complaining yesterday, but that one wasn't bad at all.  I mean, I was just about blinded by the sun sparkling off of my arm when I opened the blinds, but other ( Read more... )

[Penny sounds less chipper than usual.]

So. Random question time, but did anyone else wake up with money in their mouth? Maybe it was just me. The City really likes its penny puns. Really.

Also… am I missing something? What’s with the digging and ( Read more... )

I love this one!  Who all's here?  Billy?  Death?  Life?  Anyone?  The Welcome Center's open and I've got drinks and I'm working on making cookies--

[The camera turns to show a table full of cups of lemonade and trays of sugar cookies. The cookies are all rather fanciful--some have been frosted to look like clock faces, but most bear some ( Read more... )
