Haven't done an update on what my characters are up to in a while, so here's one of those. You're welcome.
Mason Tour break, woohoo! Which means a brief tour to chat to the media in cities where it's needed. The band is coming along nicely, not exactly setting the world alight or anything, but holding their own. She's lost some long-term friends lately to inactivity deaths, but others have returned to the world of the living after an absence. Maybe the same will happen with the recently departed, fingers crossed. Family-wise, the two youngest are still young. Ginger has yet to develop a personality, but Magnificent has the bonus of speech when he'd holding his rubber ducky, so he gets to throw his weight around occasionally, as befitting his name. Relationship-wise, still in thrall to the Bastard. And watching amusedly as assorted desperados fling themselves at him whenever they're in a busy city. Bless them :) Still doing regular Mayor shit (got the Olympics coming up fairly soon, I need to get cracking on activities for that) and Treasurer stuff. I don't mind doing it, but it would be nice if it was optional rather than necessary, you know? If there were choices in Melbourne of active engaged citizens who took an interest in things. There are a few, and they're mainly also busy elsewhere, there's a small handful of people propping up a few cities between them. And on the Melbourne activity front, welcome back to assorted Dragons, and thank you for stepping up again :) Settling in nicely to the new It's Pop job. I quite like words, so it's a good fit in that way, really. And thanks to my hectic life *cough* I've (usually) got enough time these days to add it comfortably to my list o' stuff. Hurrah! And if anyone reading this hasn't written for IP before, but would like to have a go, just take the plunge, the water's nice! We can provide hand-holding , advice and encouragement, supporting you is what we're here for. Banjolina Also media whoring, and the traditional kind. Despite working at it in London, a lack of aphros meant she only managed to work up a small sex addiction: must do better! So all vaguely humanoid characters who want an easy shag, she's your girl. Especially if you have a coinciding tour schedule - trying to grow the fuck buddies list so she has options wherever she is, but it's still not always possible. Bah! Algernon Been on an (almost) full tour now with Kathy Bates Sex Scene. He's had a change of face, as SOMEONE kept whining about the last one. Still ginger though, naturally :) Still somewhat lacking in a voice, I struggle more with male characters, you lot being mysterious creatures and all. And speaking of no personality... Jeremy Yes. Poor Jeremy. Distributes money to newbies. Gets roped into sporty stuff due to a lack of volunteers. Is practically mute. I really do need to do something more with him, but I don't know where to start. And it looks like police work isn't going to be an active option again any time soon. Poor Jeremy...

There really are some thoroughly unpleasant people around, aren't there? But it's the ones you didn't expect who hurt, the ones you thought were actually decent civilised adults. Live and learn. And don't bother trying to give second chances to those who don't deserve them.
(Cos the non-Popo version is none of y'all's business, unless you're some kind of DIY whizz who can fix everything. In which case - SAVE ME FROM MY INEPTITUDE!!!)
Ever have one of those spells where you're sure there's loads of stuff you're meant to be doing, but you can't for the life of you remember what it is? Well, that's me. For the past while, actually, I'm sure there's something Super Important that's completely slipping my mind. I really should start writing notes. So here goes. 1. Ask everyone reading to remind me of anything they know that I'm forgetting. And that's it. Over to you :D ... but the gathering of nuts is in full strength. So there's this one Popo couple. If you've ever ventured into the forum, you know who they are. The ones who post walls of text, usually a good few weeks after a subject has already died a natural death, writing post after post replying to every damn thing so that everyone else thinks there's some major activity going on in a thread, but no, it's just one person posting twenty times in a row. You know, those two. Well, just in case anyone didn't already think they were nutty nuts from nutland who are deranged loons, they decided to firm up that impression overnight. There's a strong chance most of their ranting will be deleted, but, if you get there early enough, enjoy. It's quite the spectacle to behold - linky.
