Summary; Natalia, concerned for Leon who hasn't shown up for work, encounters Yuri and, consequently, Flynn. She then goes totally BAMF and owns some serious ass. I can feel you all judging me, by the way.

Rating; PG

Called by some the season of death...

Another evidence of his cruelty. But not here. And has fallen and will again.

A few moments of violence.

How interesting.

[ There's a brief silence before a child's voice comes through the communicator. ]

Whoa! This... this doesn't look like home. Is this a story...? But I didn't write anything like...

[ Footsteps echo. ]

Mum? Dad? Charon...? Raetsel....?

What the... Why's there something heavy in my...

[ A loud tapping follows, and a bit of static - he seems to have found the device and started poking at it. ]

What's this thing? I've never seen anything like it... I bet Charon could tell me!

[ He suddenly sounds almost elated. ]

Wooooow! Just wait 'til they all see this place!

[ And the footsteps break into a run as the feed cuts. ]

[ ooc: Haven't done this to him in a long while, so have an age-reversed, angst-less 5-6 year old Fakir! With living parents and 100% more happy! I'll probably keep him like this for both days. And yeah, he's just run off from the Opera Abandoned courtyard. >>; ]

How's My Driving?
[PROCEED]

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! HMD, HMD! HOW'S MY DRIVING? PRETTY GOOD, RIGHT? AREN'T YOU THANKFUL?! GOBBLE IT UP, POLYCHROMATIDS~!!

Welcome back to our more seasoned members, and welcome to you first-timers.

HMD is the gamewide chance for feedback on playing here in polychromatic.

And here's our philosophy on HMD: praise--it's all well and good (we all love it, yeah?), so if you want to give praise, love, ♥s, whatever, go for it! It's especially great to say what you ♥ so much about a character. For example, how they acted during X curse or Y plot was great, or how they adjusted (or didn't?) to the City was fascinating. But we all know, constructive crit is best when you're looking for advice on how to improve. What we really encourage here are questions. It gives you the chance to maybe understand something, (and maybe you think it makes sense after all now), and the player a chance to explain. For example:

"How did Gary get from Point A in canon to Point B in Poly? It didn't quite make sense to me."

"What started this whole fascination of Sue's with the bananas?"

And then you find out that there's a long, involved story that goes back six months involving the aftermath of a curse, a lizard, a pound of potatoes, a watermelon, three French maids, and a pogo stick. And then it all makes perfect sense.

Or perhaps it doesn't, but you've started a dialogue about the things you perceive versus the things the player perceives.

As decided by community vote, anon is not allowed here on the main HMD post, and IP logging is on. Sorry, Anon. However, we encourage posting a link to your own, personal, anon-enabled crit thread(s) if allowing anon is something you want to do and are comfortable with. But keep in mind that we moderators can't police those crit threads: not only are they anon, but they are on your own journals, and there are dozens of them. But we entreat members of this game to be polite and courteous, logged in or not. We will be watching the main post for any unrest, however, so keep that in mind. (We like to watch.) Let's all keep ourselves like civilized people, and have a decent time. Remember, no road rage in HMD.

Whew. Now that that's all out of the way, have at it, polychromatic!

A little variation on the comment form is fine and tasty, and putting things like gifs or videos behind links or in collapsed threads is fine too, but please consider the loading time for others with slower connections.

When; Thanksgiving Day (November 26th), all day, any time
Rating; G? PG at most?
Characters; Anyone! Everyone! You!
Summary; No one should be alone for the holidays.
Log; ( That's why the door's always open. )

voice;

....You've got to shitting me.

[Pause, oh the truth settles in. Someone hears a ticking.]

No. No, no, no, no! Goddammit, I've been here for too fucking long for this to just--- I don't believe this shit. Fucking son of a bitch, City. You'll be sorry, you hear me? You'll be sorry you decided to pull me back to this shit hole.

I really believed for a little while.... You made a fool out of me. I was right there. I was home, I was this close....

[Shattering glass and the device gets switched off. Guess who is back from her brief, brief trip home. Ask her about it. I dare you.]

Private to Boy Blue;
I want my apartment.
end;

[Sasuke is seen moving forward as if he was heading somewhere, before coming to a stop to glance at his surroundings as he realizes where he is]

...The city again? [The irritation in his voie is evident as he speaks, and he pauses for a few seconds as he recalls what he last remembers] I suppose my plans will be on hold for the time being then.

( Private || Unhackable )

[ooc; So Sasuke is back in the City again without a canon update and right after he checked the network to see how long he was gone for from when the button curse was going on, so the private section was included a bit later from the actual post. Pretend this was earlier since he was supposed to be back before the curse ended since I wasn't around much to post this before now.]

Ack! It was supposed to last longer! Some magical box. Hmpf. I should have known there has to be a small print clause.

...Hello again, City.

[There's a 17-years old girl dressed in a puffy princess gown on the steps of the Opera Abandoned.]

When; November 24, late night
Rating; PG
Characters; Flynn Scifo [srslynotguy], Ino Yamanaka [boobsorgtfo] Leon Magnus [roseofseingald], Luc [wind_magic] , Ruca Milda [dreamsofhorns], Teito Klein [notaspure]
Summary; After a renovation gone disastrous, the shotapartment + Flynn and Yuri have made a trade with the deities to have a house built. And now that it's built, it's time to explore their new home.
Log; ( paying a handsome fee )

[ voice | mostly unhackable ]

Obviously a part of me wants to press it. Sometimes being here for so long makes an elf desperate. Three years and the chance to go home? Who wouldn't? But I don't...

[sigh.]

Can't leave Artemis. Or the police. Sometimes I wonder if this place has become just as much a home to me as Ireland. Maybe that's enough of a warning sign that I should leave while I still can.

[a long, long pause; she's staring the box. When she speaks again, it's a very low murmur.]

But even so, I don't think I could have any of this hanging over me.

[And yet, something in Holly's tone suggests that she's uncertain.]


[ PUBLIC: ]

... I wonder what would happen if I shot that blasted box.





Before I can change my mind.

When; The Friday after Thanksgiving
Rating; PG
Characters; Inara only_fell & Anna backseatangel
Summary; Anna and Inara have coffee and girl talk
Log; ( Sometimes you need someone to listen )

Pushing a button to get one of those three things?

That sounds way to simple, but then again maybe it depends on how you look at it.

[ooc; As if he wouldn't press it. He's been wanting to go back to get his revenge so it's not like Sasuke cares about the fact someone gets cursed because that? He'll press it at some point today, so just pick whether this is before or after he pressed it. He'll be gone from the City for the curse duration, but without much of a canon update]

When; Thanksgiving day, 11/26
Rating; R just for language
Characters; OPEN TO ALL, I'll add as you come in!
Summary; Inara and Priestly (newly reverted to their adult and multicolored coat selves, respectively) are putting on a Thanksgiving dinner in the lobby of Building 10, extending their welcome to anyone in the City who wants it. Feel free to godmod the little things; types of food, who you're seated next to, etc! If your character brings a dish, feel free to harass Priestly or Inara either down in the lobby or up in her hall where the cooking's going down. We'll say everyone gets into the buffet line at about 4ish for consistency's sake and don't worry too much about technicalities, just have some fun! I'll put up some starter threads for different areas, feel free to hijack away! \o/
Log; ( Pass the gravy please! )
