helllloooo everyone, so this comes with some sadness, but i’m going to be dropping jeongguk. i’m so sorry to anyone that was having fun threading with him. i’ve just had a complete loss of direction for him and no ideas on how to properly develop him and lead him down a path that’s fun to explore, and that’s left it pretty difficult to write for him for a long time now. it just seemed like it was finally time, as i’ve considered this for a while and i don’t think there’s any use putting it off anymore. he still will hold a place in my heart and will stay on my mind, and if i can think of ways to make him fun again, he may return! in the meantime, he’ll stay in myeongcho as a hacker for the mpd, and if any mpd people want to use him as an npc for anything just hmu and i’d be happy to still plot with you even if we can’t thread!
all of that being said, i’ll still be around on jihoon and seungwoo, so you aren’t rid of me yet <3 thanks so much for all of the love jeongguk has received in the past year, i appreciate it so much. love you all!!
hi! jeongguk is in desperate need of new threads in general, but he’s also the only one of my muses that will be present at the ballroom for the event (my others are already in the hospital, aha.) he came as a plus one of a gal that was invited from the mpd solely for business reasons, being jeongguk there as tech support in case anything fishy went down, especially to make sure all of the security measures protecting the paintings stayed in place. uh oh spaghettios! he was also there because last time he went to something like this someone was assassinated by lynx in spectacular fashion, so he expects the worst anyway.
he’s going to make it out of the bombings relatively unscathed, miraculously, just quite a few minor cuts and bruises. he’s fascinated by the power outage and suspects lynx once again due to some similarities between this and the last event, so he’s going to try and figure out how they did it and if there’s any way he can try to help get the power back on from where he is so the mpd can have a better chance of helping everyone. i don’t have any specific ideas yet (other than the plot i signed him up for on the event post-- i need another hacker!) but i would love to brainstorm some stuff. like i said, i need all the threads on him, so i’ll be happy to plot with lots of people for this if anyone wants! go ahead and like this post if you’re interested. i’ll probably message you from jihoonmi because that’s where i do all of my plotting.
{ hi! i know i said i was going to sleep because i’ve been awake for 30 hours at this point (i am so sick...i get insomnia when i’m sick...it’s the worst...) but my mom insisted on making me a baked potato, so here i am to explain where i’ve been in my sudden hiatuses lately.
some of you may know that i run another rp that takes up a lot of time. aside from that, my irl schedule got busier, and naturally...my health got worse...i was sick from the end of january all the way up until around february 21st. i’ll spare you the details, but it was mainly a lot of mental/cognitive stuff. i am okay, but it really interfered in my ability to do things; i was feeling overwhelmed, so going on hiatus here until i got a better handle on things was the only option i had ;^;
i went out of town about 3 days after i started feeling better, had a lovely trip over a long weekend, got home, and then...am back to being the same kind of sick i was most of february now. thankfully, it doesn’t seem as bad, and hopefully it won’t be! i’m really excited about the event and everyone’s muses that i’ve missed and i want to get back into the swing of things here as soon as possible.
that being said, i also know i’ll probably get easily overwhelmed with my health where it is now, so i need your help! i’ve let a lot of plotting fall to the wayside for months now. i have no idea who still wants to plot; i know a lot of people i was plotting with have dropped and all too, so please do me a favor and like this post if you want to continue plotting if we were before, or want to start plotting now ;w; if we were plotting before, i promise my lack of follow-through was entirely my fault and not yours. if you want to keep plotting, i would love to!
i still won’t promise being fast, so thanks for all of your patience with me for the past year+ now HAHA protocol doesn’t have too many threads, so i’m going to keep all of them unless anyone i’m threading with says otherwise! i’ll do a tracker to get organized again as soon as i get the chance.
thank you ♡ ♡ ♡
( ps: to anyone that joined in the time i was gone, belated welcome to murder inc. i’m carly and i’m really happy you’re here. i was once an admin here back in the day, but i’m now very happily retired! i usually welcome everyone individually even if i’m late, but i don’t think i have time for that atm ;^; but i hope we’ll have the chance to talk and write a lot and get to know each other better. feel free to add me on twitter or aim; my username is hentaekai. )
i was just on my way to bed, but i noticed the date, and that means murder inc has officially been open for one year! i wanted to type this message up now while i have the time, because if i didn’t get something up on time, i would be devastated tbh!!
back when i opened murder inc for the first time back in 2014, i never imagined i would be here today typing up this message. it was the first roleplay i ever opened myself, and i was extremely nervous. back then, (now former) admin muji and i would really just talk about how much we wanted someone else to open up an rp with this concept. it was only admin liz coming along, willing to help us out with it, (and one of our other friends starting the process and then handing it over to us before it got far off the ground) that inspired us to go through with it. in the summer of 2014, we opened murder inc for the first time. back then, admin liz was known as admin kim jong #1 (roleplaying kim jonghyun), i was admin kim jong #2 (kim jongin) and admin muji was kim jong #3 (kim jongdae)
in retrospect, our first attempt at murder inc wasn’t a great one. we did our best, though, and it was a great learning experience! ultimately, i think our error was opening too quickly without planning too far ahead. we didn’t even end up launching a single event because we couldn’t think of one, but we had a good few months of roleplaying anyway before real life got in the way for all of us and we got too burnt out to admin any longer. i think we were all proud of what we accomplished, though.
in the time after putting the roleplay on indefinite hiatus, we talked about the memories we made, and how much we missed it, but i personally never imagined we would open it again. i became a mod for another roleplay and adminning for murder inc wasn’t really on my mind again, but admin liz and who you all know as admin jaerim (who was a member of murder inc the first time it opened) approached admin muji and i asking for our blessing to open murder inc again. despite our busy lives, we couldn’t help but be involved in murder inc’s second opening, and we were all really excited.
december 20th, 2015, murder inc made its return better than ever, this time with admin liz, admin muji, admin jaerim, and me, mod seagull! having admin jaerim on board immediately fixed one of our crucial mistakes in murder inc’s first run: we already had events accounted for, and someone with plenty of ideas that was enthusiastic about executing them and developing the story for murder inc.
weirdly enough, one of my fondest memories here is shortly after mi opened. we got a ton of applications early on, it was SO EXCITING. i remember, my mom and i waited until last minute to finish decorating our christmas tree last year (we’re doing the same this year, go figure) and on christmas eve, we were still hanging up ornaments. i have a lot of health problems, so lifting my arms to hang things up on the tree would make me get out of breath after a certain amount of time. so when i got tired, i would take a break and sit down on my laptop in the living room, and work on another acceptance post for mi. i remember just alternating between the two all through the night, and listening to christmas music the whole time. it may have been an unconventional christmas eve, but it was a good one ;w;
i ended up getting so into running the rp the second time around that the admins soon elevated me to an admin too (i remember being shocked and Terrified because even though i was already doing admin work, an admin title again!!! pressure!!!! hahahaha) but being admin seagull was a role i grew to love and treasure dearly. sadly, real life (and helping to run ANOTHER roleplay) took its tole, so in august i had to retire from my admin position.
if i’m entirely honest, in making my decision, i prepared myself for the worst. i weighed all of the possible options so much and found that in the end, letting go of adminning murder inc was the thing i needed to do, even if it resulted in the roleplay shutting down. i accepted that possibility and was prepared for it, and i was really proud of murder inc’s success the second time around either way but...thankfully that wasn’t the end.
admins woo and gyu (then mods at the time) stepped up after i stepped down, and i hadn’t even considered that possibility (i’m that kind of person hahaha i hope for the best but prepare for the worst, and am somehow very overwhelmed and shocked when things turn out well because i don’t prepare for THAT at all!!) but it turned out to be what murder inc needed. i don’t think i can express how grateful i am to them for devoting so much time, and most importantly, love to this roleplay, BUT i hope they know it to some extent. (they should, because i recorded a voice message for them recently and actually cried like a baby hahahaha) and i hope everyone here is as grateful to them as i am ♡ we’re incredibly lucky to have them, and to have admin liz still working hard to keep this place running after all this time.
as hard as it was for me to decide to retire from adminning here, it’s a decision i’m really glad i made. in the past few months, i’ve gotten to enjoy my time here as a member with full trust that the first roleplay i ever opened is being taken care of even better than i ever could, and i’ve gotten to write and interact with all of YOU lovely people more than ever. it’s something i’ve really really enjoyed, and that i’m really grateful for to. i haven’t gotten to write as much here as i’d like, and i hope that in the second year of murder inc running, i can change that, and develop this small punk of a muse in the way he deserves and make more memories as a member, even though my time as an admin is something i will always treasure dearly ♡
and then we come to you guys. thank you so much for spending time here in murder inc, whether it’s been a short or long time that you have. i’m really thankful to you guys, both as a founder of this rp and as a member that enjoys seeing you all around and reading the beautiful stories you all create. murder inc wouldn’t be here without your dedication and enthusiasm for the setting and your love for your muses, and i will always be so touched and honored to have a part in something you enjoy.
(i’ll also be just as touched and honored that admins gyu and woo started out as members of this roleplay and loved it enough to volunteer to keep it running themselves.)
i’m sure there are countless more things i can say, and after i post this i’ll think of things i forgot, but i think it all boils down to me being really thankful that i’m able to thank YOU guys for a whole year of murder inc. more important than that, though, i’m really, really excited for what the future has in store for murder inc, because i’m sure it’ll be great!!! (i’m also really excited to be just as surprised as anyone else. please plot twist the shit out of us @ mi admods of my heart)
i hope that in the future, we can look back on this day and realize it was just the start of more success and fun in murder inc, and that i can create lots of awesome plots and friendships with you guys in the weeks, months, and (hopefully!!) years to come ;w;
[ ps: i can be terribly slow at answering ims on this account, but i really would love to talk to you guys anytime. feel free to shoot me an im anyway, or if you want to get in touch with me more quickly, add me @hentaekai on aim or twitter. let’s be friends!! i mean it!! ]
{ hi!! so, today’s the day; i’m getting my wisdom teeth taken out. i know, i know, i was supposed to have gotten a lot more done before this snuck up on me but i was too busy scrambling to get other things done, sigh
more details under the cut here!
as some of you may or may not know, i have lyme disease, and with my lyme disease, i tend to react pretty badly to most medications. if anything, antibiotics are used to treat lyme disease, and as bacteria dies off from a chronic illness, the toxins that are in your body are more than your body can get rid of at a healthy rate, so you get sicker. i’m going to be on antibiotics after i get my teeth taken out, as well as a bunch of other medications so…i have no idea how my body will handle this hahaha
my doctor told me that most of her lyme disease patients that get their wisdom teeth taken out have a flare up of their lyme disease after the procedure because of the medication, so i’m expecting to be pretty sick afterwards. i don’t know how long that’ll be, but with my history, and the fact that i also have to recover from a surgery, my doctor told me to expect to be sick all month, which will be fun. either way, that’s what i’m preparing for!!
i don’t expect to ACTUALLY be gone all month; i think it’s most likely that i’ll be out for the rest of this week entirely, and then be around again. who knows how well i’ll be able to write or plot over this upcoming month, but i’ll at least be able to keep up with the main unless my reaction turns out to be super brutal.
in either case, i’ll keep you guys updated. i think i’ll be good enough to go to help with the queue on saturday, but if not, the others will take good care of you guys, and if anything else comes up, we’ll make an announcement!
i THINK THAT’S ALL! in short: please bear with me during all of this. i’m expecting the worst but hoping for the best hahaha and i’m sorry that i keep getting snatched away from you guys by all kinds of stuff like this. i’ll be around as much as i can as soon as i can ♡ }
{ hi everyone! just me here, with a very unofficial announcement and reminder that our activity check is tomorrow, as always. i went ahead and got it all good to go early, so i know that we have quite a long list, so remember to post or request a hiatus this week if you need to! i know life is hectic around this time of year and that it’s easy to lose track of time, and we want anybody to be here that wants to be, so just let us know and we can take you off of it, no problem ;w; }
