new bulletin board, who dis?

[temptationaccomplished]

[That title is absolutely not ic or present at all ok. This angel is NOT that cool.]

Now that we're all getting settled in, I thought it might be nice if we introduce ourselves! So many lovely new faces, and I'm sure much has changed for those of us making a return as well.


So let's put this bulletin board to good use: Who are you?


And we should probably share a little tidbit about ourselves as well. A get-to-know each other--but nothing like those hellish corporate ice-breakers. You're absolutely not obligated to participate, of course, but it does seem like good fun, doesn't it?



I'll go first: My name is Mr. Fell; I love cocoa and long walks in the park, and I own a bookshop back home.

I am Loki of Asgard. For those who have heard of me, that should tell you enough about me.

[temptationaccomplished]

Goodness. I have had occasion to read both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, so you might say I have heard of you, yes. Are you telling me you're the Loki from Norse mythology?

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

Wait. Loki. Loki of Asgard. THE Loki? That's wicked cool!!!

[Well, if it's true, but lying about something like that is a quick way to piss a god off, so Isabel doubts it's a lie.]

[noasark]

Seconding Mr. Fell are you serious?

...Well looking at prior messages you obviously are...

I did a fair amount of theology research in my spare time at home, now I'm curious about where the discrepancies between wrote lore and actuality lay here.

(Ah, and to keep from being rude; Noa Kaiba, Valhudor house, I've been here for two years.)

[ronstadt]

He's also real good at disguise magic and making things look like they aren't there. Handy stuff. ... S'up, man? Er. God?

[wagerofloki]

didn't realize i shared a rooftop with someone who was some big kinda deal

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

Mr. Fell! You're back! Do you still have Creme Brulee? Oh, it's Isabel. I still have Chaos and I never went home.

How have you been?

[temptationaccomplished]

Isabel! I am sorry you haven't been home, my dear, but I am glad to see you again.

I haven't been home either, actually, but I visited other worlds. Crème has traveled with me to all of them, and right back here. I do believe I am stuck with him.

[burningbrighter]

Hey, what a cool idea! That sounds nice, my friend Twilight from back home would love to see your shop. I probably would too.

Anyway, I'm Sunset Shimmer. I'm in a human body right now, but I'm actually a unicorn who came to the human world a few years ago. I love learning new magic, but I'd probably love it more if I could understand why so many things go wrong.

[temptationaccomplished]

You most certainly would. It is a lovely little shop with all the old world charm that I've heard is very chic these days. 'Aesthetic' is what I believe they have simplified the wording to. [Just don't even THINK of buying anything.]

I think if you have the opportunity and desire to, you ought talk to my friend Crowley. He might be interested in meeting a unicorn.

I believe we may have met before, long ago, but given the way worlds and time interact, you may not recall. In any case, it is good to see you again, and I hope your friend Twilight may someday join in the fun here. There are a great many books to find here as well.

No intro needed

[serpentinthegarden]

 

[temptationaccomplished]

Cute.
You could at least tell people your name.

[phoenixwiz]

My name is Harry James Potter, but calling me just Harry will be fine. I have been in the Isle of Avalon for around 9 months and I used to work as a cafe barista in Camelot.

[noasark]

First a real god and now Camelot?

[actually hold on]

Actually I have a better question, if there was a barista position was this a modern Camelot somehow?

[sizedoesntmatter]

This sounds like a nice idea.

My name is Yugi Mutou and before I came here I actually was not at all magical in the way we can be here. But I did love roleplaying games when you could pretend to have magic. So it's nice to be able to actually learn instead of just playing pretend.

[travelpants]

Oh hi there. My world doesn't have magic besides plenty of stories and the stuff on film and TV, though it'll be an interesting journey ahead of us to learn magic for real.

My name is Lena Kaligaris. Nice to meet you, Yugi.

[noasark]

I should get this over with before I get carried away on the other notes.

Noa Kaiba, I've been here for two and some years, I'm working on my fifth semester in Valhudor house. I....hmm.

I'll appear about 14 I suppose. Green hair, I'd say you can't miss me, but frankly there's stranger.

[ronstadt]

Hey, you're in my house. ...You said 'appear', are you actually older because of some magic spell or something?

[ronstadt]

Hey, Fell, it's Ronstadt. We met in the lobby. I was a 911 dispatcher before I showed up here: the designated crank call guy. Before that I worked in an occult bookstore, though. Man, don't you get tired of the people who go "I don't remember the name, but the cover was blue"?

[temptationaccomplished]

Well, hello. And goodness, I do not envy you your job, but I appreciate you doing so.

As for the occult bookstore, mine was rather the opposite, you could say. Did you ever happen to carry a book by Agnes Nutter?

And those sorts of customers I just directed to Waterstones. For a while it was extremely popular to be looking for a book in different shades of grey.

[scotch_egg]

This is not a meet and greet it's a dating profile.

[temptationaccomplished]

Cheeky. Even if it does somewhat resemble one, it hasn't exactly worked as such, has it? I haven't seen any takers.

[creepyoldguy]

HI. I'm B-E-E-J-F-U....

Shit. Can't even type it.

I'm a demon from the Netherworld and premier bio-exorcist. They're making me stay in the basement. Anyone wanna bunk with me?

[temptationaccomplished]

I have my own demon to bunk with, if so desired, but thank you anyway for the offer.

What in Her good name is a bio-exorcist?

[blue_ice]

[ Another introduction, trailing in late. ]

The name's Seto Kaiba. Noa's my stepbrother. Long story.

I'm in Purifeul, I've been studying here for two years, and I'm currently looking for a suitable all-weather campsite.

[temptationaccomplished]

Ah, I'd forgotten you were stepbrothers. That explains why you do not share the green hair.

Oh! Are you planning a camping trip? The Americans make these wonderful things called "smores." I will have to show you before your trip.

[wagerofloki]

mr fell this is really cheesy but props to getting the convo started

my name is val and i'm from a place called night city that's in north california in the new united states. i'd really like to get my hands on a guitar so i can learn to play like johnny silverhand, or a bass so i can be like bea sting. i'm in something called purifeul i guess?

[temptationaccomplished]

When you're as old as I am, there's no longer any shame in being 'cheesy' if it is in good fun and gets the job done.

They weren't satisfied with their relatively young country and decided to create a new version? My goodness. And I have no idea who either of those two musicians are. Are they part of a group?

[king_of_egypt]

You know, somehow, I could tell who this was before you introduced yourself.

[Look at someone else not immediately responding with the appropriate information]

[temptationaccomplished]

Am I that predictable?

[cometophobic]

[When you have no idea what you're reading, and your familiar is napping... all you can do is doodle]

[ronstadt]

[he'll doodle a little sun wearing sunglasses up in the corner next to it. hi]

[travelpants]

My name is Lena Kaligaris, and my family originally came from Greece (my dad's side hails from the island of Santorini): me and my sister are the first ones in our family to be born outside of the country since our parents immigrated to the States years ago.

[whose_son_am_i]

New York City is in the "States" yes? Is that also where Maryland is, since you mentioned it before?

[Someone doesn't know Midgardian Geography okay?]

[gobetween]

Hey, anything that sounds like fun to a Fraggle

My name's Gobo, and I'm still getting used to what it's like out here. And that's more about being above ground than a different world! I'm an explorer, and am excited to learn more about all kinds of magic.

[phoenixwiz]

Hey Gobo, nice to see you again. There’s so many kinds of magic from various worlds that is going to be a fun time to learn them all. It’s a lot how I ended up with kinetic and elemental magic in Avalon.

And oh, it looks like we’ll be in the same house as well.

[bearshermark]

Eleven.

I was here before and your name sounds familiar to me. I wonder if we've met?

[temptationaccomplished]

We have. We had a lovely little chat on religion or belief or such in the temple where you worked at the time.

It's quite alright if you've forgotten; I look forward to getting to know you again.

[sweetsummerchild03]

Hi! My name's June! I have a sister, May, but she didn't come here with me.

And I've never been to school before, but I'm really excited to get to meet people!

[travelpants]

Hi there, my name is Lena Kaligaris. Nice to meet you, June.

I also have a little sister named Effie (there is an 18 month gap between us) back home, but she's not here as well.

[sentbytheseer]

Wow, I'm late to this. Saw this thing filling up with paper and didn't really think twice about reading it til now.

The name's Erik. That's about all there is to tell.
