I'm always behind on these things. Completely unfair.
Reply to this post with anything you'd like and I'll tell you why I friended you and two things I love about how you play your muse. The only catch? You have to repost this as well.

TARDIS
Friended: Because, of course, you're my friend OOCly. Not to mention, I like being able to read things you write, because regardless of what you think about it, I enjoy your writing. Feel free to osgobosogb or however you do it, I so cannot fathom how you get those letters together.
1. I love how you have her as 'two faced'. To those she likes/loves/enjoys, she's sweet, she's kind, she's affectionate, she has her own brand of social naiveties. To those who cross her... she has teeth, claws, a fierce and relentless bite. You can see she has her own temper, how (to reflect in canon) she can just go wherever she wants because someone might've slighted her. You can tell that behind the human appearance, she's something else entirely, and I love it.
2. It's no easy task picking up a character with very few moments of actual dialogue, much less presented canon. I admit, I haven't listened to Zagreus yet, but I plan to in the future and not just because I'm a shameless lover of Nicholas Courtney's voice. The fact that you can play her, realistically and so in depth, is a testament to your roleplaying abilities that I don't think I can say much more.
Gene Hunt
Friended: Again, because you're my friend - BUT ... I admit that I'm also hoping one day I'll see some prompts on there from him. ;P I'm not going to risk missing it.
1. When I first started roleplaying with you (and Gene), I admit, I had no idea what Life on Mars was. The concept/idea of Gene, a bigot, a sort of dirty cop, a smoker, and alcoholic, are all the types of things I really can't stand much. But it is in Gene's nature to be a bastard - and a magnificent one at that. He's every sort of thing that people can loathe and hate, but you bring out, marvelously, the fact that he is human. He has his shortcomings and at the same time he has areas in which he shines. He is a person, someone with drive, compassion, addictions, emotions, and I love it to death.
2. I've since seen at least the whole first season of Life on Mars, and because of it, I love your portrayal of Gene even more. He comes off as completely canon, reacting to things as I think he might in the show. As I said, he's a magnificent bastard and I love roleplaying and doing things with him, even if 90% of his interactions with the Master end up in fights. I admit, I still think back to that one, one instant where they got along, and for a few moments you could see how if everything went differently, they could have been 'friends'. The fact that he spent that one moment treating the Master not as just scum, but as a sort of strange comrade, shows off so much more depth to him. That even for people he cannot stand, he still has some bit of... compassion(?) for them. Or at the very least, he can put aside his dislike for a short time provided the other person does the same. Or something like that.

You must listen to Zagreus, yeeeeeeeees. Nicholas Courtney is love and just ... God he does a fantastic job. And it really gives you an idea of the kind of crap the TARDIS just takes without ever speaking up. Though it helps to listen to Neverland beforehand, cause then you know what she's talking about when she mentions a time station.
I! did write a couple ficlets with him, which I need to put on his journal proper. :/ BUT! I got him (and the TARDIS) into MTM, so there should definitely be more from him in the near future~
The Gene/Master interactions are some of my favourite and I find myself rereading them on occasion and just grinning because they're fekking amazing and make me happy as a plum.
