Here be your obligatory HMD post.

...but really, yes, I do value your opinions and criticism. So if you wanna tell me I'm awesome? Go ahead. If you wanna leave a comment on what you think is off about this guy? That's fine too. Constructive criticism and "you're doing well" comments are always helpful, so post them here!

[It's been a year, perhaps closer to two years, at most. When it comes to keeping track of time, Shing knows he hasn't been the best at it. Friends have come and gone, all sorts of strange things have happened to him... he's gotten used to it. He never gave up the hope that he'd be going home, but he'd be lying if he said he disliked his stay here ( Read more... )

[The Spirune Palace. One of the newest casinos on the Strip, it's already being touted as the jewel of the Strip. And considering that the design of the hotel evokes jewels and crystals, who can blame them?

Walking past the front desk, you find yourself in an elegantly opulent casino full of people who are high-rollers, drunks, gamblers ( Read more... )

[Some time after seeing Florian's post, there is a tired Shing sitting in the apartment, frowning and placing a hand to his head. He knows it's a curse, really, but he still has to ask.]

Hey, guys...? Please tell me someone wasn't evil enough to actually kick Florian out of our apartment, because it's really just a curse.

[He doesn't sound too ( Read more... )

I've been in this place for a little over a year now, and I still can't help but be surprised at some of the events and curses that occur in this city. Some of them are nice and generally harmless, others cause pain and sorrow, and still others just make me wonder what's going on in here.

With curses, do they choose who gets affected and who doesn' ( Read more... )

Please tell me this is the last we'll see of those birds.

Also is everyone okay? Some of the birds I got tried to attack me.

[orz. Guess whose apartment -- or at least, his part of the apartment -- is a total mess thanks to the birds running around. Feel free to bother?]

...she came back.

It's not real, I know. But the way this City just teases us like this is horrible.

Anyone have any ideas on how to handle ghosts from home?

(( OOC: Ghost World. Guess who got visited by Kohaku's "ghost" again. ))

[There's the sounds of a scuffle, followed by the distinct THUD of flesh against pavement as someone close to the feed breathes heavily.

The sound of footsteps -- then a pause as the faint cry of a harpy reverberates through the feed.

More silence, followed by another distinct sound of a battle and another accompanying set of thuds.

Finally, a sigh ( Read more... )

[Hello, City. There's a Shing who's watching what's going on outside, and he seems more... thoughtful than usual. Pulling out the device, he starts typing up something.]

...wow.

Plants, music, gender changing and a tower made of sand?

I'm not sure how to put it, but all of this seems too weird even for the City.

[There's a pause before the next ( Read more... )

What the--!?

[There's a very audible squeak of surprise, followed by some blubbering and flustered sounds as one Shing Meteoryte realizes that it's happened again...]

T-this curse again?!

[It's rather awkward, yes, but thankfully it hasn't led to anything embarrassing... yet...

A few moments later, Shing sighs, looking at his girl self in the mirror ( Read more... )
