Country Canada Age 18 Gender Femme	Well I've got the ball as part of our ad, so I figured I should tell everyone about it directly. Pff, what a concept, huh? D'oy. I think this will be a great way for all the members to get their characters together to interact. Plus everyone gets to dress up funny and wear masks! (the characters, I mean, not the members. Though...you could get dressed up too if you really wanted...hmmm...) A ball is also a great scenario for plot-y things to happen! I have a few things in mind already, mwahahaha! The thing is though, we're not exactly pulsating with action right now. This is probably because so few of the characters being played are active right now. I'll send another activity check soon, since some members haven't been around for about a month, and most haven't posted at all, and have joined a month (or two) ago. So, what I'm trying to say is this: The Masquerade won't be happening until we get more -active- characters, and hopefully some new -active- members. I'm not pointing a finger at anyone. It's just that we're off to a bit of a slow start, and I'd like to see things pick up. I realize that I, myself, have been away, both last week and the week I got my wisdom teeth out. I also realize that some members are having some real life stuff that's keeping them busy, which is totally understandable and reasonable! Hm, okay, that's all I have to say! If anyone has questions about the ball and such, feel free to ask away.

Country Canada Age 18 Gender Femme	Well my dears, I believe it is time to start brainstorming. If, that is, you have any storming to brain. Or...any braining to storm. Something of that fashion. So far I have ideas for the STs, which would involve a lot of WTF moments. There could be potential WTF moments for each and every character on the board, I think, we need only to put our dainty little heads together and think think think. Personally, I'm rather fond of spontaneous threading, which rarely, if ever involves any forethought before it's posted, but seeing as how this is a potentially explosive plot device, this ball, that maybe you'd like to think a head a bit? Yes? No? Talk to me, loves.

Deleted User	I think Lucy would be interested in that. It's about time she's had a new thread, since the kidnapping one seems to have been abandoned.

Country Canada Age 18 Gender Femme	Well, you can always start a new one for her in the meantime. The ball probably won't be happening until late spring or perhaps early summer around OM's first birthday, you see. I wanted to get an early start in gathering ideas from everyone though.

Deleted User	Ooh, alrighty. I'm used to forums allowing only one topic per character at a time so I never really thought to make another. I'll make her a new one soon.

Oh dear, well we used to have a rule stating that one character could only be in two threads at a time before roleplaying themselves out of it, but it has since been abolished. Sorry if that's what's been keeping you! But ya, I'm thinking we've lost our Thénardie, so I'm considering that thread abandoned. Shame though, it was a great plot.

Javert... well, if somebody drags him into the ball, maybe. But poor thing will be lost. Do you think he can dance? :$

He's all over that kind of stuff. Particularly if lunch is provided. Dunno if Dirk'll be there. He might go, if Lev drags him there and as long as he doesn't have to waste money on to fancy a costume.
