"Hey, you've reached Charlie Kawalsky. If this stupid phone is working, leave a message with who you are and how I can get a hold of you and I'll call you back. Unless I don't like you, then you're pretty much on your own, pal."

OOC: Character Retirement!
As of this post, Kawalsky is joining Alanna in retirement from Fandom High. AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

Pirate's Swoop, Tortall - February
Winter without electricity was not a fun experience. Kawalsky had spent a winter or two in eastern Europe before, but there had been a reprieve from the weather here and there, synthetic materials and those little heaters you could put in your gloves. Here in Tortall, there were no little heaters. The servants (and man, was that weird getting used ( Read more... ) -
Pirate's Swoop, Tortall, Christmas Day
The portal was still open at the bottom of the slope leading up to the castle, but the real action was in the castle. The food was plentiful, the tree was looking pretty impressive and the most important part of all - there were presents galore!
