I GOT YOU ONCE, CARU.

I GOT YOU ONCE.

[misterblackbird]

YES. AND THEN NEVER AGAIN.

First. Mmm, mmm~!! Tastes good~!!

[primrosella]

I AM STILL THE BLEMISH ON YOUR OTHERWISE PERFECT RECORD.

Deal with me.

[misterblackbird]

Oh. I will.

[primrosella]

This is the most constructive thread right here.

Nothing but polite feedback and helpful criticism up in this business.

Also headshot icon because I can.

[misterblackbird]

We are the most useful.

WHAT IS THIS TERRIBLE AND TERRIFYING ICON???

[primrosella]

Eventually we will reach the obligatory discussion of how your tl;dr is not too tl and that I quite often r, and how you once suggested that Rosella had the potential to be Mary Sueish but then she wasn't and thus this has been a thing that has come up on every HMD from here on out.

It will be frightfully meta.

IT IS THE ONE I ALMOST NEVER GET TO USE BECAUSE SHE SO RARELY GETS KO'D

[misterblackbird]

We're actually having that conversation now, you realize, since you brought up the subject of the potential conversation. We're having that conversation without having that conversation. Which is meta. But the fact that we're acknowledging that may, in fact, make it a meta conversation about a meta conversation.

Which is so meta.

As well she shouldn't. GOSH. Cain will protect. Stop...doing things that might result in getting KO'd.

[primrosella]

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHM.

Hey. Hey. She has been good lately! ...which is all the more reason for some bad luck to catch up with her, hmmm.

[misterblackbird]

Yo, dawg. I heard you like conversations. So I put a conversation in your conversation. So now you can conversate while you conversate while you conversate.

True on both counts...

[primrosella]

And speaking of conversating, watch me actually do HMD appropriately now, here we go.

Okay, so first and foremost this comment needs to embark with a mea culpa, because let's be honest, I've been failing lately and that's terrible. However, what has not been failing lately is you and your roster. I still stalk all three of your kids, even if I don't always make it into their posts to tag them, and they're all entertaining to watch in their own ways. You would think that playing a guy like Nemo would be super difficult, both with maintaining CR and with just maintaining him in the long run because of who he is, and yet he's still going strong and getting involved with people and it's really great to see, and I love it from afar; he's one of my favorite people to stalk

[misterblackbird]

Bah. Bah! I know your schedule and life and everything have been, shall we say, rather full of late. So there's absolutely no need for culpae or apologies or anything. Honestly. So I'm going to ignore that first part of your comment, more or less. Moving on

[waitedforyears]

a;dlka;skdajjdaier WELL I hope you weren't expecting any actual constructive criticism from me, because I got nothing. Except that I feel that both Cain and Trick are very consistent in the way you play them. Not that I know their canons, but-- consistency. 'tis good. Same goes for Katan, whose canon I know a little, and I do think he's very IC.

Also, I loved the curse with Amy and Poncho-kun ♥

[withloadedguns]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...I guess I can forgive you this one time. But just this once!

No, no--thank you! I'm glad they seem to hold to themselves and to keep up with their characterization and everything--Cain and Katan and Namless Guy alike. I've been a little concerned that, having played a couple of writing curses with Yojimbo USA, I've had him acting a little too verbose. And he ain't verbose. But hopefully I haven't strayed too far from the path (I really want to canon review for him when I get a chance, no lie). How did I get from QUEEN OF TL;DR with Cain to QUEEN OF TL;DR WHO ALSO PLAYS TWO RATHER LACONIC GUYS ON THE SIDE. Hmm... Well! It's good exercise.

I loved that curse too ;; They made good partners in that. We should do more and similar shenanigans if we can. I mean, he's acquainted with both the Pondseses now :3c

Also, "Trick" has now been added to the official List of Nicknames. Congratulations. The Man With No Name doesn't have a name, but he has more nicknames than average

[waitedforyears]

Oh, good. I'll obsessively collect information on your characters so as to ensure that I'll have some sort of constructive criticism for you next time HMD rolls around, then.

I think you've managed to portray the fact that he isn't verbose very well while making it possible for people to still tag him and his entries without the conversation just immediately running dry.

Oh that curse. I adored it, okay. I want to have re-runs of it and maybe musebox it forever and I have a journal now for the OC based on western!Amy and aslkja seriously that curse kind of made itself at home in my mind and refuses to leave.

I saw that, and grinned like a stupid idiot.

And yes. More playing together and more shenanigans would be muchly appreciated and v. awesome indeed.
