State of the Pups: March 2012
State of Me: Abysmal. This is the first time I've done an SOTP since before I dropped Jack in January because mostly I'd have to type that I'd dropped Jack. I wish I hadn't. I dropped him for a lot of reasons and I guess I thought it would be the best course of action at the time but it really wasn't. I regret it. I hate it. It's completely sucked my desire to play at TR and now I can't even bring him back because it would screw my canonmates, so, there you have it.
None of which is meant to sound bitter. I have no ill will against things that happened because I dropped my pup and it's not fair to expect the world to just stop turning because I decided in a fit of pique that I wasn't happy playing him. He's gone, I have to make my bed and lie in it. Since Jack left, I've also dropped Gwen, Chloe, Zelda, Adam and Declan. Of those, I really only regret Declan, but there were other factors that necessitated me dropping him.
So for the first time since I've come into the game, I don't have someone on reserve, I don't have any apps planned because, honestly, the only person I would app would be Jack and I can't. So it's four for me right now and for the foreseeable future.
I'm hoping that with a lighter load I can focus on what I truly enjoy playing versus playing to make reqs and the bitterness and anger I feel about the game will ebb away. RP is meant to be fun and for a very long while, TR has not been fun to me. I think who I've decided to keep will help me discover the fun again and contribute positively to the community. I also don't want anyone thinking my mouthing off up there reflects on them in any way. It doesn't. It's just that I have to get it out or it will fester and has, even, with Jack, so I've left it in instead of editing it out. But it's not meant to make anyone uncomfortable and nobody should worry about approaching me for a thread - the ones I've kept are completely available for any and everything.
Jacob Black (
quileutejacob): Jacob is going to have a busy month next month between Old West and possible arrival of Leah Clearwater. He is so love-hate about this in my head because while he isn't Leah's best friend, she's both from home and she's Pack, so he's going to be secretly pleased as punch to see her.I've really fallen down on him lately but he's a steady, happy voice and I hope with so few left in my roster, I can focus on him and make him shine.
Dr. Helen
notsocommon): Mostly happily married. I say mostly because as of 16 March, she's pregnant, and it's really just a fucked up decision that happened because Will was upset and she wanted to make it better. She knows Will has expressed not being ready for kids (and even not really wanting them, though that's faded somewhat to I'm not ready) and she's really afraid that he's going to hate her or think she took advantage of him to get pregnant.
Hence, she's not going to tell anyone about it for a while, probably not until she's showing and everyone is eyerolling because it's obvious. She's going to be somewhat distant, too, because she'll miss Declan (that's the first disappearance that's hit someone from her home) and be worried in general.
I'm not sure that she'll run for Council again. She goes back in forth in my head as to whether or not she wants to so I think I will play it by ear and see if she gets nominated again. She's not going to actually do a pregnancy test until mid-May but she'll have suspected long before that. She's been alive for over a hundred years and she's a doctor to boot: she'll know what happened.
Jon Snow (
tooktheblack): Since last we spoke, Jon lost his boyfriend. He has been handling it by not acknowledging it, mostly, which is a combination of canonical for Jon and I just can't handle anymore bleed considering everyone else losing people. So he's Sad Bastard, but that hasn't changed from status quo.
Jon is on a trial, of sorts. I keep threatening to drop him and I haven't yet because people tell me that they want him around. Which is sort of stupid sounding, I guess, but I have really good threads right now going with him and Charlie J and with him and Peter Pevensie so I have hope. Plus, new Game of Thrones starts tomorrow and I'm sure he'll get louder with new canon. Sort of new, it's not like I haven't read the books.
Anyway, so Jon is here for now and, after this Charlie thread, will be taking on a shift at the Hub as bartender so please do come by and order the most embarrassing drinks imaginable. I do love playing him uncomfortable.
Kahlan Amnell (
mother_confessor): One of the things I truly do enjoy about the game and about my roster right now is that Kahlan has an absolutely perfect Richard and I'm really glad I encouraged Amber to app him and join the game as well as queue-jacked myself and apped Kahlan. She's a very happy character to play right now and while that can be hard when I myself am not very happy, I find Kahlan to be easy.
More than anything else, she has a thirst for knowledge about the island, about other cultures, about everything. I'm loving that aspect of playing her and hope to continue to develop it. I really hope I can tag her around next month a lot so if you get sick of her face, please let me know. I will not be offended.
She and Richard are taking it slow right now because Kahlan does not trust that the island has completely sucked her Confessor magic so I'd especially like her to thread with depowered people so she can get enough anecdotal evidence to realize that yes, Kahlan, you can have sex without turning Richard into a zombie.

Yes, definitely! At some point maybe she and Jacob should meet, since H is teaching Belle archery and stuff. Otherwise, I'm open for anything. :)
