howlin' for you

We started our journey here at West Sunset with the best intentions. We saw this group in the tags and when we saw the complex organization and what seemed to be a diverse, experienced admin team, we were more than thrilled. We messaged the main and applied as the Volkov family, making our dream of playing a family in a group a reality.

It’s so disappointing to have a group that seemed to have so much potential be such a let down. Our bios and characters are our own, they have been written in a way that we wanted to play, in a way that we expected the admins to note and evaluate before our acceptances. When we were accepted we have done nothing but play to the best of our abilities, in character and as active as we could have been.

Perhaps our characters did not fill an expectation that the admins have had for us, or whatever vision they have had for their group, but whatever the problem may be, we’ve seen the adminning to be problematic and the gossip blog to post maliciously; far beyond what is expected for their character. The roleplayers here are lovely and so talented, but with the unapproachable adminning and the ridiculousness of this whole situation, we’re going to have to leave you.

Please delete our bios and unfollow our accounts.

Sam, Becca, Anna, Julie.

No problem. Don’t let some anonymous prick get underneath your skin, it’s not worth it.

[ellavolkov]

I'm going to toughen up, I'm too sensitive. How was your Thanksgiving, by the way?

[skylabazilov]

You’ll be the tallest in the pack.

That sounds like a plan, I’ll run to the store and grab everything else we need and be right over.  He’ll be fine, puppies pretty much stay tummy ache ridden because they eat everything.  Buttons ate Buttons, hence the name.  

[ellavolkov]

I'd need to be six feet and two inches to be the tallest. I think I'd be happy just beating Sof.

I think we have flour and everything! The door will be open, just let yourself in. Buttons is such a cute name. Leo said that Kaiser is going to be almost a hundred pounds when he grows up completely, can you believe it?

[ellavolkov]

For the little king.  

Who’s the best?  I’m the best.

Skyla's the best.

That one’s a musical, like cult earworm to the max. But besides the concept of being stalked and murdered for basically not paying rent on your body, Repo Men isn’t really related to it. You dream about trying it, or your gutsy daredevil-ness already did? I have my doubts that the red strawberry sauce stuff they put on those cheesecakes has actual strawberries in it, but it might be worth the google search. I had a really tough time wrapping my head around how I was supposed to just stick a pill down my throat and swallow it, so I was hoping I’d just eventually get over it. And I did. And to this day I have to give myself this elaborate mental pep talk every time I have to take an Advil, or something.

[ellavolkov]

I don't really know what cult earworm means. I'm getting a feeling that we don't have movie taste in common, Prince Eric. I'm not deathly allergic, so it's not really all that exciting. Cheesecake is probably the best invention ever, even better than velcro. There has to be some strawberry in it. But then again, the purple popsicle is supposed to be grape flavoured, but it was always just the purple one to me. It doesn't taste anything like a real grape. Oh, I'm still really bad at that. I just have to drink tons and tons of water to get them down.

[ireneey]

It’s, uh… Repo! The Genetic Opera. It looks weird, but I swear, there’s nothing in the world that picks me up faster. You’re not bugging me, Ella, you… Okay. That’s pretty adorable, and between you and me, strawberries are pretty overrated. Even the chocolate covered ones. I don’t think I have any technical allergies, but there was this time when I was a kid where I’d gotten pretty sick, and I guess the doctor said it had to do with me reacting to dust or dirt from a construction site that’d started digging near my school. They gave me pills, but I never took them. They tasted like death.

[ellavolkov]

Is it a musical? I love musicals. I must've seen Cats and The Lion King a hundred times. Isn't Repo Men a movie where they charge for organs or something? I'm sorry, still. I had one of the chocolate ones once, after a party and there were some leftover, and it really wasn't worth it. I had to hide in my room for days because I looked gross. But, sometimes i have dreams about strawberry cheesecake. Oh no, you should've taken the medicine. Did it take a long time until you got better?

[flynn-sinclair]

"Lucky guess then. Uh, hence the lack of accent. I did wonder. I’ve never really liked Thanksgiving.  How’s my night been? Pretty good, I guess. Nothing to complain about as of yet."

[ellavolkov]

I speak Russian and English, but we learned them both at the same time so we wouldn't have an accent. Oh, but it's just an excuse to eat a lot and spend time with family, what's not to like? Nothing to complain about is like, really good news.

[thebentleyaffaire]

Vegan really isn’t healthy because you’re missing out on a lot of protein and nutrients meat and animal products can give you—that’s all I’m really saying on the topic. Yeah, I keep driving past it when I drive to work, and keep meaning to check it out.

[ellavolkov]

Well, I figure she knows what she's doing, she's really into the whole health scene. She dances, so she has to be really healthy. Do you want to walk there? I know no one walks in LA, but it's not very far, and the trouble to find a parking spot really isn't worth it.

[ireneey]

Tell you the truth, my mind hasn’t really jumped over to the topic of Paris Hilton for a while. Although I may be biased in wanting to see her in a good light since she’s such a gem in my personal go-to bad day movie. I didn’t think you were silly. Not in a bad way, at least. Maybe you don’t really need to justify your feelings to anyone, you know? It’s no problem.

[ellavolkov]

What movie? She's been in a couple, but I don't think I've seen any of them which is weird, because I watch like, everything. I guess not. I just don't want to bug you, or anybody. Let's talk about something else. Are you allergic to anything? I'm allergic to strawberries. I had them once when I was a kid and I got covered in rashes. It was terrible. I thought I was turning into a berry and I couldn't stop crying, but my dad has the same thing, so when he told me I wasn't dying, we just laughed about it. 

[ireneey]

Does she have a lot of dogs? Man, all I remember is that there was a chihuahua named Tinkerbell, and I don’t know why that shit’s been clanging around in my head. I guess if I had a ton of dogs, they could be buddies with yours. Kaiser, right? I don’t think that’s going to be a problem, Ella, I wasn’t ever all that prone to getting sucked into gossip. I mean, Paris Hilton - I bet she’s an amazing girl. The world’s just been giving her a hard time since day one, but it’s not like she goes around kicking old ladies in the shins. Well, sweets are literally going to make you sweeter, so I’ll agree to disagree.

[ellavolkov]

Don't you follow her on insta? She has like fifteen, and they're all so cute. Tinkerbell and Peterpan! But I guess it's not fair to the dogs, she's always travelling and leaving them at home. I'd never leave Kaiser alone if I traveled. I mean, I've read it before, and sometimes it seems really believable and everything... That's true. I'm getting myself upset over nothing, I'm sorry. I can be like, really silly sometimes. You're really nice to me Prince Eric, I appreciate it and everything.

[thebentleyaffaire]

Oh, so she pushes all the vegan views on everyone else? Uh, sure, but if you don’t want to go through all the trouble, there’s a small cafe down the street we can go to if you want.

[ellavolkov]

She's not.. pushy. She's just looking out for our health and stuff. Ooh, is it that French one? I've been meaning to try it, I read on Yelp that their butter croissants are literally to die for. 

[ireneey]

Promise. Anyway, there’s probably a better way out there to spend a billion million dollars than sticking it in my own face. Maybe I will meet the rest of your gang sometime. It’s a small world, and smaller still when we’re all bound to be using the elevators and/or staircases, if there’s ever a massive blackout of The Amazing Spider-Man variety. I can relate to you there, I figure I’m pretty short sometimes, too. Ah, a devious sweet tooth. It’s a steep price, but I just can’t work wearing those mouse ear hats and I’m even willing to tide over my suspicion of the fact that that’s totally a Disney princess thing to ask for. So looks like we have a deal.

[ellavolkov]

You could spend all that money on getting as many dogs as Paris Hilton. I'd help you walk them, I swear. Oh, you definitely will. We're sort of everywhere, even on the internet. But, you shouldn't believe what you read there, it's only lies. The hats would crush your curls, you should definitely take my deal. No!  A Disney princess would ask for like, world peace or something. They're sweeter than me.

[flynn-sinclair]

"Volkov? Ella Volkov. I like it. What is that… Russian or some Slavic name? The Thanksgiving dinner thing? I didn’t go. Any good? I guess that’s true. I’m sure I’ll watch it someday. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to Charles. I’m happy with for a while at least."

[ellavolkov]

Volkov is Russian! It means wolf, actually. My parents are Russian, but we were all born in the US. Oh, you should have! It was nice to like, see everyone, and not to mention it was a good way to meet your neighbors. Well, you're Charlie to me. How's your night been so far?

[benjaminpeltz]

"No, I’ve never heard of it."

[ellavolkov]

Unless you were Russian, you probably wouldn't have. It's like, rice and carrots and chicken. Did you celebrate Thanksgiving?

[thebentleyaffaire]

Well, living in an over-populated city that never sleeps will make you a hard-ass, I guess. Fuck being the society version of perfect because looks will probably get you everywhere in life but once they go, you’re out the door, I don’t know, it’s just sad that people think they need to live up to that. Vegan food? I mean I tend to eat some of it because I have a gluten allergy and what not but I do like my meat.

[ellavolkov]

Uhm, yes. That's good advice. My sister's a vegan, so that's all we have. Do you want to come up, and like... have something? I can try and make tea.

[benjaminpeltz]

"Are you having a good day?"

[ellavolkov]

I just had a really good dinner with my family. My sister's vegan so we had fake turkey, but there was also a lot of Russian food, because that's what my brother makes best. Have you ever had plov? It's my favourite food ever.
