if you had wings...


Don't you wish you could fly?

Uh, well...about that. Now you can! See, for some reason, Stacy / GLaDOS / a wizard thought it would a real hoot to curse (bless?) you and now you've sprouted wings! It doesn't matter if your species would look silly with wings, you're a book, you can already fly without them, or whatever else. Too bad, you're stuck with them!

- Post the wing type you got saddled with---choose one on your own, use a RNG to choose, or leave it up to your partner! Your partner can feel free to have wings too.
- Characters who already have wings can have them modified in some way: if they can only glide, they're now capable of flight, or they can spout glitter and rainbows upon flapping. OR you can add an appendage of your choice---horn? Tail? Tentacle? Go wild.
- React, laugh, and have fun!

Wing Types:
01. Fluffy Angel Wings - The typical type you probably think of when 'wings' come to mind - you're all fluffy and downy like a Cherub - not to mention...these are very sensitive to touch...
02. Black Wings - they're beautiful, but seem a little off - and they stick out like a sore thumb!
03. Filligree Wings - very slight, very delicate and very beautiful - these are like filmy gauze attached to your skin and the most managable - if you like spider webs.
04. Fairy Wings - two sets, lucky you, you look just like a butterfly, and man are they strong - but it's hard to get them all folded up right, isn't it?
05. Devil Wings - you're like some overgrown bat - maybe you should be the one avoiding public the most for now, these might poke someone in the eye!
06. Your choice! You don't have to choose any of these, as far as your imagination goes is fine. And if there's a wing type in your canon that makes more sense, go for it!

Hello everyone!

As you may know, applications open once again on June 1st. That's in...precisely two weeks! New crew members abound! They don't actually get to play until July, but it's never too early to start thinking about characters you may want to apply for. If you already have your idea, great!

If not, well, sit back and allow us to provide some suggestions.

For this...is...ENABLING NIGHT! ((Offer does not expire at midnight. Enable as long as necessary.))

Use this post to tell us why the canon you love and character you want are so spectacularly fantastic that they deserve another chance. That this ship will wither and die without their vital, life-giving presence. That they are worthy of being picked up and applied for.

How can you accomplish this? However you like! Essays extolling their virtues, your very best pictures of them, your favorite music videos, EXTREME ADVERTISING, and whatever else you have are all welcomed here! Let's make this ~fun~.

Good luck and happy apping! I'll have example comments up very shortly.

Please pretend that is great art of a cuddle. I am too excitement'd out to look up an illustrative image right now, but hang onto your hats because this is a

CUDDLE MEME!!

Steps:
1. Post as your character! Everybody is welcome, even if not in the game or newbies waiting for podpop! We don't bite, we hug.
2. Others reply
3. Participants are struck by the urge to cuddle. No romantic feelings are created or altered, just unexplained snuggly feelings are involved. You can SCREAM at this urge, shake and cry, get hearts in your eyes, feel elated and joyful, rant along the whole way, whatever. It DOES NOT STOP THIS URGE TO CUDDLE.
4. Cuddle! No violent cuddle chokes or cuddle stabs plz. Those can come later ;)

Congratulations, everyone! The meatship's short on money, and you know what that means? More of yours is needed! The problem will be solved by auctioning volunteers off to other crew members. Once bid on, you'll be providing services to whoever bought you. Have fun with that.

RULES:

-If you're putting someone up to auction, make a post. Try to present your character in as good of a light as possible!
-Place a bid for a specific service. Everyone has unlimited money here, so use as much or as little as you want and bid on as many crew members as you want!
-No bidding for sexytimes. This isn't the kink meme, that'll be soon enough. Bidding for things like prom dates and kisses, though? Acceptable and encouraged! The more fun and frivolous (or emotional and tempting)? The better!
-Optionally play out the requested favor.
-Players and characters have the right to refuse to honor bids that squick them out. It's for fun, not an OOC obligation.

I will be placing an example of a bidding thread in the comments to show you how it works.

one word meme
Rules:
1) Post with your characters.
2) Reply ICly or OOCly with a word that describes that character.
3) One word only.
4) Elaborate in threads if you want! Further replies can have many words.
5) Fun: have it!

♠ ♠ ♠ GRATITUDE MEME!♠ ♠ ♠

To the players and characters in or from the United States, happy Thanksgiving! To everyone else, that'll be why many of us are unusually quiet tomorrow. But before we go off to be harassed by relatives, let us participate in an exercise in the power of positive thinking! Before you run, though, it's not as scary as it sounds.

1) Hey characters, you're thankful for something, right?
2) No, don't give me that crap about how everything's horrible and you want everyone to screw themselves. Come on. There's SOMETHING, even if it's as simple as 'I'm thankful that that jerk over there is more miserable than me' or 'I'm thankful that torture exists'. Post!
3) Write your thanks in that post. Even if you don't want to admit that some of these people are sometimes tolerable, you're damn well going to. It's standard meme ~magic~.
4) Respond to others' lists and be merry, thankful, and giving! Or...maybe you could just be slightly less cruel than usual. That works too.
5) Mind the turkey, it was prepared in the back room. It might not be so innocent!
