Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Think I could

COULD YOU FALL?



One simple question: 'could you fall for them?' A simpler answer, yes or no. Except when it's not so cut and dry...

how to play
- Comment with your character(s).
- Others are voluntold to answer the above question with a yes or no.
- (Unless they fight it. Unless they've already fallen in love hard.)

Bodyguard

the bodyguard meme


You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?

How to Play
1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
2. Comment to others.
3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

Let it snow~


it's quiet
and the snow's beautiful tonight


snowfall;


stage i; none, streets are already blanketed in white.
stage ii; very light and intermittent.
stage iii; light - moderate. lasts longer periods.
stage iv; continuous, heavy snowfall.
stage v; the hardest of cores - blizzards, snowstorms, you name it.


scenarios;



① fuck the police, this is the best time for a walk. hope you've got a nice thick coat on.
② stranded in the buttcrack of nowheresville? weren't you watching the time? now you've gone and missed that last bus out of there. or maybe you're lost, somehow. what do?
③ literally chilling, in this weather, is quite easy to do. sitting around relaxing in it is a wee more difficult, but sometimes much more enjoyable, especially if shelter can be found. the snow is beautiful to watch, after all.
④ the weather's not going to stop you. your snow fort's packed full of ammo and ready to go. those aren't snow angels over there; they mark where the poor souls you've downed have fallen. be careful with that snowman's head!!
⑤ you're about fifty miles from civilization but there's a roof over your head, so never mind the chilly draught, right? right. you mightn't be the only one lucky enough to stumble upon this little shelter, though. remember to share the blanket.
⑥ everyone stuck outside should be jelly. you've got a fireplace and hot cocoa and damn if it isn't awesome. a heater's not quite so romantic, but it'd do. there'd better be a backup generator in case the power trips.
⑦ mix and match, or make up your own.

Red rope at my neck



the red string of fate meme

Once upon a time, people believed in love and destiny because the string of fate lead them to it.


HOW THIS WORKS
1. Post with your character, they now have a red string tied to their pinky, connecting them to someone else.
2. The string is unbreakable, and irremovable until something emotionally-laden happens in the thread.
3. Optional: Make an open tag to go with your post. It is encouraged, not forced.
4. Have fun, tag around! As a warning, things may become slightly sexual.

Injured

INJURED MEME

sherlock hurt Pictures, Images and Photos

 

Injured by your own hand or someone else's, you still need help to get you through it. Let's hope someone finds you before it's too late!

**This meme does contain triggers of violence/possible sexual assault, proceed with caution.**

 

- Post your character, name/series/preferences in the subject.

- Others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-8 to choose a scene!

- Play it out!

 

1. Stabbed. You were stabbed, maybe multiple times.

2. Shot. You were shot either once or multiple times.

3. Broken bone(s). You're suffering broken bones.

4. Head injury. Enjoy that concussion...

5. Beaten. You were beaten to a bloody pulp.

6. Used. You were used for some kind of physical labor to the point you can't move anymore... or maybe it was more base than just 'labor'.

7. Abuse. Your injuries stem from a long period of abuse and torture.

8. Other. Is there something else? Want to combine something? Do so here!
