Where's STARDU5T?
This is so oddly specific that I have to bring myself to ask, is this a reference to something or are you speaking purely out of personal experience? If the latter, my condolences for your loss and I would definitely be swooned by that, by the way.
I should have elaborated why I would feel like I'm intruding, though in hindsight that's probably neither the nicest and most accurate term for this. I just don't want to feel like there's some sort of accolade behind my inclusion just because I'm some plucky fan-girl that shamelessly decided to add onto to this disgusting squalid OCC thread and annoy everyone out of sheer boredom. I don't know, I want to assume that there are still other people that quietly lurk here who still wish to join the RP and I really wouldn't want to overshadow them. Maybe I'm overestimating Jaunt here to the point I may even be blatantly brown-nosing, but I imagine a lot of people are still attracted to his idea.
I already feel tingly and weird that people are still generous enough to acknowledge me. Everyone else would have just told me to GTFO. And by everyone, I mean just Jamie Marsters and their thousands of personas from Bloody Forums.
On an unrelated note, I decided to break that poll up there even further and now it is a three-way tie between Grump-cat that fart fires, Derpy the Sea Lion Clown AKA Oshawott 2.0 and nothing cuz gen 7 starters suuuuuuck. Is this poll even relevant btw?
No, I actually have a life. This guy from Japan or whatever bought a bunch of Rubix cubes and fashioned them into the face of this girl he proposed to. Unfortunately, the girl said no. He can always just recycle it for the next girl he's into, I say. And yes, I
did make that implication.
Hm. Nah. I think you're overthinking it in this kind of worrisome modesty. I'm offering up the chance to participate mostly as a test run for the experimental idea I had some time ago concerning having the role-play open up to let other users become customers, and what better way to test it out than on someone who's avidly read up on and participating with the cast of the role-play? It isn't that you've somehow managed to obsequiously weasel your way into the role-play by buttering
me up. It's that you're here, you've shown that you have an agreeable temperament with most of the cast (and probably the rest if they popped in a little more frequently in the OOC), you're engaging and have shown consistent activity, you write understandably, and you clearly have a creative spirit that could give a great test run to this idea.
But you do not have to throw your hat into the ring for my sake. As I said, the OOC is open to everyone and we'll still enjoy and appreciate you even if you aren't in
this specific RP. I otherwise can have the role-play function with all of my numerous NPC customers than to try and run the risk of a shaky "temp sign-up" for other users, with whom I don't really have a bargaining chip should they take advantage of or neglect their participation.
The poll was to see if people wanted a Gen 7 starter to appear as a special guest in the role-play. More people voted "yes" than "no", and of those in the role-play who voted yes, Popplio was most popular.
