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.

Maybe you can paste whatever thing you have on hand so people can read it on the bulletin.

What sort of person would want to curse you in not saying your name? Did this person hate you so much?

Took forever.

And that would be my Ma. And yes. Yes she does.

[phoenixwiz]

Okay then, I get the name very well now, Mr. Beetlejuice. (At least he got the pronunciation right.)

So your Mum must be hard to deal with back in your world, right? Hopefully they she doesn’t show up at the school any moment.

[creepyoldguy]

Shoggoth if you're going to do a 'Mister' on me.
The B-name is my middle name.

Ma is in charge of processing the newly deads in the Netherworld back home. She would probably ignore everyone here but yours truly.

[phoenixwiz]

Um, okay then. I guess that I should drop the Mister part for you, Beetlejuice.

Oh, so she is the one in charge of looking after the Afterlife or something like that?

[creepyoldguy]

Oh jeeze, no. Ma's just middle-management. She's in charge of customs.
Kind of like a demonic TSA.

[phoenixwiz]

Okay then. Does she get through the dead’s luggage or something like that?

[creepyoldguy]

Makes sure they're actually dead, makes sure they have their handbook, makes sure all drinks are finished before the gates...

[phoenixwiz]

Wow, I didn’t know that working at the Netherworld version of the TSA would entail a lot of duties, Beetlejuice.

[creepyoldguy]

It's primarily to keep the living out, and to make sure the dead know what's going on.

[phoenixwiz]

Okay, I get the whole thing now. I did see some ghosts back in my world and in the last world I was in: the latter being such a pain to deal with.
