OOC: Critiques and Notes
Comments, critiques, and the like are all welcome here! Also, a note for those who are tagging with Sorrow: since he is a medium, he can sense who in the City is living and who is dead. Please make note of it at some point; it's useful for him in-character.
Thanks much! -
Fifty-Second Drop: new year's resolutions
Resolutions? What do I want to do for the new year ( Read more... ) -
С новым годом!
Which is the Russian equivalent of, Happy New Year! In fine Russian tradition, I waited until now to give you all your gifts this year. So Raikov, Hanna, Penny, I wish, Ken, Iroh, check your doors!

Fifty-First Drop: despair and renewing
Penny is gone.
I received her package -- a Celtic knot with the words, ""Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass and are done but there is that which remains." How fitting...it is just as it was. Existence is Joy, and Sorrows are but shadows, but in the end, there is that line between life and ( Read more... ) -
Fiftieth Drop: under the mistletoe (video)
[Sorrow is walking about the town, painstakingly looking at doors and such as he carries a bag or two in his arms. He's clearly watching for and avoiding whatever sprigs of mistletoe he can find.]
I haven't kissed anyone in years, City. Why bother with me now? Besides, if it's some stranger, it will just be so awkward, and...I've never been so good ( Read more... ) -
Forty-Ninth Drop: war [video]
[Sorrow has gone full Cobra Unit wartime loadout. He's wearing a monochrome-camo tactical vest over his sweater, on which are stowed grenades. There's an AK-47 slung over his back. His pistol is still strapped across his chest. There's a combat knife at his belt, and his face and hair are smeared with gray streaks in camouflage splotches that ( Read more... ) -
Forty-Eighth Drop: naughty and nice
Naughty:
- Killed several citizens and a large number of small animals, the latter without excuse or humane death
- Attacked Iroh and Ken and yes Ken made me cross this out but I'm not going to delete it.
- Tried to handle the vampirism all by myself
- Angered Raikov by talking down about Volgin
Nice:
- Helped Penny over the time I was here
- Helped get ( Read more... ) -
Forty-Seventh Drop: siberian snow (videopost)
[Sorrow looks far more relaxed than he has been lately. In his usual black commando sweater, now that winter is fast approaching, he is standing in Xanadu and staring up at the sky. There is a long scar along his carved face, and a localized surgical mess under his left eye, but it has sealed over so that there are no stitches anymore, and it doesn ( Read more... ) -
Forty-Sixth Drop: a moment of clear thought is my gift
November 4th was my birthday. I completely forgot about that. If I were living, at this point, I would be 56 -- I died at 53, then there were two years as a spirit after that, and then a total of about a year in the City. I don't age anymore, but it is still nostalgic for me. My family always brought me books for my birthday, because I was such a ( Read more... ) -
Forty-Fifth Drop: recovering [video]
[The device is sitting on a hospital table, and Sorrow is lying in the nearby bed. He's clean -- fairly miraculous, considering the way he looked before -- and thus is about as white as the sheets as he stares into the ether from his vantage point against the pillow. There's an impressive train of stitches across the left side of his face, where ( Read more... )
