(As much as I don’t wanna say it, I have re-focus myself towards all my real-life obligations now, and to do that I need to cut back on the extra internet things I do the most, which unfortunately includes rp’ing in general. So, I’d like to drop my Gambler OC, Wes, and Will, and also my position as a mod. I’m sorry to everyone, my thread partners, etc., and I hope you all are able to continue to have fun rp’ing.))

It’s all right, my friend, you don’t need to worry.  We both knew this would come at one point or another; it’s just sad that it has to happen so soon.  I’m proud of you for making this decision–I know it wasn’t the easiest choice to make–and I think that this is for the best.  You need to focus on your current real-life obligations, and especially so with your school workload.

Thank you very much for being my co-mod, even if it was for such a short time.  You did a fantastic job!  Having you as part of the team really helped me out, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I hope that when things slow down for you, you’ll come back to the National Park to roleplay with us and be a part of our family again.  Until that time, good luck and take care!

((Hello~ I was hoping to post on my muses before I left but college move-in day has come too fast. So, could I please have a standard hiatus while I get into the swing of things for this semester?))

The onslaught of hiatuses can only mean one thing: school is back in session!  It seems like only yesterday it let out for summer break.  Our vacation ended much too soon, but we must persevere!  I’m happy to put your characters on a three week hiatus.  You’ve got until September 15th to regain your groove, okay?  Good luck!

A Friendship of Circumstance || Michael & Wes [+Anima AU]

@shadowoforre

He was never supposed to get tangled up in tragedy like this.

His own stubbornness landed him in Maggie’s Coliseum for a crime he didn’t commit. The Coliseum’s own cruelties had led to the life-changing moment. Fleeing his fate had led to, well, this--

A slave market all the way in Sailand.

And he was terrified, no matter how little emotion he managed to keep from showing on the outside. Bottom lip nearly chewed through at this point, he caught it between his teeth again as he looked down at his bound hands, and the marking that rested on one of them.

Bobcats. They had been bobcats. And now, so was he.

His father had always told him +Anima were just like everyone else, and should be treated as such. With how things had gone, he was having trouble keeping faith in that idea.

He thought it would be noisy back in the tent, where all the other Anima-laden kids, teens, and occasional adults were kept before auction. Instead it was disturbingly quiet when he was walked in.

Not wanting to make a disruption in the silence, he stayed quiet, too, sitting where directed. He knew better than to try pulling off an escape attempt. He’d tried that before getting on the ship to come here; he’d learned his lesson.

He wanted to look around, but was afraid to lift his head, even after the men who’d escorted him there had left. Maybe--just a peek--

So he glanced up, taking in his surroundings. His eyes were scanning the entire area, but within seconds, he found himself accidentally locking eyes with another boy. Face going red, he averted his gaze.

SUMMERNIVERSARY EVENT RAFFLE—THE WINNERS

        The entirety of the luxury liner was a madhouse.  Everywhere she turned, new faces greeted her.  She’d been hugged several times that day, and the requests for autographs were endless. DJ Mary didn’t think her event would be so popular.  

        When she’d asked the Pokémon League for their support, never in a thousand years could she imagine that the turnout would be this huge.  Hundreds of people, especially Trainers, showed up for the chance to help out the Pokémon Adoption Agency.  All of them hoped for the chance to adopt one of the four very special Pokémon that made the trip.  She nearly cried when they had to turn people away—there simply wasn’t enough tickets to go around!  Mary shuddered to think just how much it would have cost had the S.S. Anne’s owner not donated so much of his time and money for the cause.

        I’m so glad the Captain is such a softie! she thought, overcome with glee.  Mary held her manuscript to her heart and closed her eyes.  Oh, what a wonderful experience this trip was turning out to be!  People having the time of their life, Pokémon getting adopted and going to loving new homes… there wasn’t anything better in the world.  DJ Mary practically skipped the rest of the way to the main deck, where her announcement was set to take place.

        The cruise was nearly over, and everyone would be forced to disembark in Vermilion City when they reached the dock.  What better way to end the party of the year by setting up her booth?  Music, love, and Pokémon were her favorite past times.   This would be the biggest bash yet.  Once she was all geared up, Mary took to the stage.  She was met with whoops and hollers and whistles and catcalls.  Everyone was as excited for this moment as she was.  It’s showtime!

        “How’s everyone doing tonight?” Mary asked the cheering crowd. Her eyes roamed the audience.   Four of these lucky people would be going home with a new friend and partner.  The audience chanted her name.  DJ Mary beamed.  “I’m so glad you could make it out here tonight!  As you all know…”

        She finished her introductory speech to roaring applause.  Her heart soared.  Everyone loved Pokémon just as much as she did.  Ben would be so proud.  Mary grinned wide and raised her microphone over her head. “Now what I’m going to do is bring out the… ta-da!  Raffle Ball Chooser of Wonders Machine!”  She gave a big flourish to the raffle machine her two assistants wheeled out.  Inside were raffle balls with the names of everyone who participated in this awareness event.

        DJ Mary turned on the machine.  A hush went over the crowd.  “In just a few moments, four names will pop out of this wonderful gizmo!” she began, speaking over the whirring of the machine.  She set the machine to ‘automatic’ and stepped away, instead crossing the stage to address her expectant fans.

“Now what I want you to do is scream and shout for each winner—don’t hold back now!—when their name is called!  These winners will be the proud new adoptive parents to some needy Pokémon.  Let’s give them a great big thank-you with our cheers!

                                   “Are you ready?  In three!  Two!  One!”

CLAIR, N, AND ARTIST FONTAINE—Congratulations!  Your names were the first to be drawn in the raffle.  You may now pick one (1) shiny Pokémon as your very own so long as it is a Fire-, Electric-, or Dragon-type.  Because Clair’s name was chosen first, she gets her choice between the three types. Once she has chosen, N can choose from the two remaining types.  Fontaine then gets whatever type that has not yet been picked.

SNAGGER WES—Congratulations!  Although you weren’t part of the Top Three winners, you will still receive a prize.  Head on over to DJ Mary’s booth once the raffle has ended to claim your reward; she has something very special for you.

((Ok I posted on all three of my muses, so I'm ready to come off hiatus!))

It’s so good to see you!  There was a shortage of our coin-chasing, psychic shadows of Orre around here.  I hope your vacation ended up being everything you ever imagined it to be!  Welcome back!

((I'm going on vacation, so could I get a week hiatus (on Jade, Wes, and Will)? Ty in advance!))

A vacation’s all you’ve ever wanted!  A vacation, just tryin’ to get away from the constant life crises!  This time is meant to be spent alone, relaxing, and doing all of the fun things you’ve wanted to do but haven’t had a chance to.  I’ve got your characters on hiatus until July 2nd, so we hope to see you back then!  Enjoy!

((💭 for Wes ehehehehe))

“Oh, he’s an absolute fucking joy,” Michael muttered. “Really. An all-around pleasure to deal with. Thanks for blowing up half the lab, you criminal garbage. Really appreciated that one.”
