HI!

Never forget, The Mighty Shadebeast loves you all. Hugs!

The question, dear sir (madam?), is not whether or not we will remember your affectionate feelings toward us, but rather why should we remember them? Hugs, though a great way to show affection, will not guarantee that I will commit your personage to memory, though in times of stress and depression they are greatly appreciated. I, as well as the rest of these fine forum-going ladies and gentlemen, do not have such time as to waste on those who cannot bother to leave impressions on this grand site worthy of our refined tastes. Please take no offense, for I only wish to know why we should bother to remember your emotional attachment to us all. *Sips Tea*

Because we're silly and have nothing better to do? *Steals the tea* You should say hi, Nova!

Well, as to why I should be remembered, there are a few reasons. Firstly, I do my best to spread amusement where I go, in the form of my immense sense of humor. Secondly, I am a fairly integral member of this august site, giving it a much needed boost, and occasionally, a resuscitation.

Frankly, I see no reason why either my good mood of yesterday morn or my reassurance of love should be questioned, as they have no ulterior motives other than to give those members that need it a shot of happiness. Though I respect your questions, one cannot help but wonder why an individual that left for such a prolonged period, and contributed nothing to the site in some time would attempt to question the impact of someone who has time and again made this site livelier and much more entertaining. So I must ask you a somewhat different form of the question you seem to have presented me: Why should we, the users of this site, care or remember you, when you seem to be such a useless member, unworthy of the space granted to you?

*Doffs his hat, smiling in a friendly and well meaning manner.*

*Clears throat* If you two get all snippy with eachother, I'm dropping a dragon on you. Otherwise, have fun. *Grabs popcorn*

Does that mean I can have dragon steaks? My post was meant to be jest.

No dragon steaks, that's terrified! And why did you THINK I got the popcorn?

For me, of course. *Noms some popcorn.*

Dear lady, that is what I did. You act as if my foolhardy bantering was insult to the chap.

*Lights pipe, puffs it a few times, and contemplates*
Young man, I find your intellect and wit wholeheartedly amusing, but you seem to be making some sort of error in your assumptions. I, in no way, should be remembered for anything, as I am as useless and overrated as an Amosu suit is to a common blue collar man. Dare I say my absence and limited scriptures upon this sight would prove as such to your very claims!
*Chortles heartedly and pours two glasses of wine*
A toast! To memorization, to good health, and to the start of what I have now declared is a fancy thread!

P.S. Dear chaps, this is now a fancy thread. Avatar related.

Yes, that's what I made out of it. I fear our fine lady friend has mistaken our gentleman's jesting for actual squabbling. I dear say, Miss Shali, that you will find such barbaric behavior beneath me, and I would assume to my new found fancy friend as well.

Hey! My popcorn! *Steals it back* Mine!

I refuse to be fancy! Sleepy Shali's must not attempt to be fancy!

Dear friend, I must protest. You are clearly a worthy member of this site, and I will not listen to you debase yourself in such a manner. As for you, dear Shali, I must admit, I find myself considering the rarity of your fanciness. As for myself, I am afraid I must disappoint you, old chum. I am rarely fancy, and even in those fleeting moments when my mind allows me to have the lucidity to be fancy, I generally refrain from interaction. Highly disappointing, I know, but one can but try to be how you are. I, for my part, am unfortunately rarely anything but an uncouth, callous brute, with limited tolerance, understanding and human decency. I fear I am nothing but a boor, over generalizing and highly limited when it comes to accepting the worth of others, many of whom are equal or greater to my own. In short, I know that I will soon return to my usual status, as unfortunate and displeasing as that is to me.

The good gent once more proves his worth to sit at this fine table (made from the finest of woods taken from the floorboards of the very shambles the crying proletariat masses call homes and lacquered in their pitiful sweat and tears) only to exclaim his retirement from it. Very well Sir Shade, I will respect your opinion and disband such further attempts at higher society. T'was fun. One last toast?
*Raises glass*
To fanciness!
*Chugs it all in one shot...*
*...only to toss it and proceed to finish whole bottle of wine...*
*...and shatter empty bottle on floor*
And now, I shall dispose of this persona at once!
*Takes off hat*
*Removes mustache*
...

Well fuck me running with a rusty chainsaw. Now what should we do?

You coooouuuuld join one of the RP's. It's be fun. Just sayin'. We've got a ghost in one!

*Drinks from a gin bottle, grinning at everyone.*

We HAD a ghost in one. Drag her: TO THE UNDERWORLD!

I actually would like to a lot, but I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next week and a half or so, so I should probably shouldn't start now. Juggling work and school full time sucks, but it's nice to be able to pay the rent, eat something other than ramen, and actually be able to afford some of the things on my Epically Long List of Want. I guess I can't complain.

That, and I'd rather start fresh in a new RP then jump into the middle of an already established one. Or, at least, read through a story you're all currently playing and insert a character appropriately and accordingly. I hate hate hate hate hate random character introduction.

Okay, so, I've been working on mine, I'm still coming up with the stuff, but I think I'm almost done.

I've just started mine, but I'm continuously poofing from the forum to attend to other matters, and we love you too shade!

Right! Nova, you've been gone a while, you should probably make an intro thread so we can reintroduce you to everyone. *Noddles!*

I wouldn't think that necessary, I'd say general discussion would be fine, but you're admin, your word is so.

But... hasn't he already made like.... 3?

The horror. Someone kill me, please.

I know, isn't that like.... against the rules?

Probably. These admins are highly selective when it comes to rules...

True dat.
