House of Cards OOC

HELLO MY LOVELIES

Why yes, yes I have been rather absent lately. And I'm totally sure that bringing a character in after a rather long, fairly unannounced absence is probably the definition of insanity.

But dude. Dude.

It's Jinx. The shyest shy-person to ever shy around shytown. It will go perfectly with my bamfy spy-not-so-master-y-and-more-of-a-busybody-with-delusions-of-grandeur (who's name shall henceforth be shortened to Troll. Bamfy Troll).

Jinx is a Three of Hearts who came to the Deck as a baby and has no plans of every leaving. She tends to work as a scullery maid, though she's an aspiring artist who really enjoys doing pop-up art and sneaking paintings in castles when nobody's looking. Because she doesn't like it when people stare at her while she's doing things.

So, Jake's coming "home" again, about six inches taller than he was when he left. He's fifteen now, and very nearly six feet tall, although still lanky as can be. Still doesn't talk much, but he's not quite as shy/fearful of folks as before.

He did get adopted when he left the Deck previously, but an unfortunate accident claimed his foster-parents and rather than be shuffled back to the System again, he decided to strike out for better pastures, so to speak. He did manage to keep Mojo, who is almost grown and still the biggest derp ever, his beautiful Sahara and guess what? Sahara is now a mommy!

He'll still be a part of the Heart Suit, but as always, spending most of his time in the stables with his animal family.

This is Andrew John Sorensen, a Five of Hearts who would really prefer you call him Drew because a) he likes to avoid comparisons to dead Kings and b) he would really prefer you call him Drew.

Drew is twenty-five years old, and a Five of Hearts who has been in the Deck a little over five years. The details are in his journal, but it's safe to say that most people don't know those details, or much about him other than he's charming, flirtatious, possibly slightly lacking in moral fiber and a little feckless. He started in the kitchens at Heart Castle, and is known to be a talented chef, but for the last couple of years he has worked as personal assistant to the Jack of Hearts.

All of the Jacks of Hearts. His favorite part of the job is that the boss' face keeps changing.

He's a very organized person, despite his personality, and almost as devoted to his job as he is to getting laid as often as possible. Drew doesn't quibble over guys vs. ladies, but is almost completely equal opportunity, and he doesn't concern himself too much if he's flirting with someone in a relationship. They can always say no, after all, and he's not going to police other people's romantic lives.

Looking for: friends, rivals, objects of flirtation?

Hey guys. I swore I'd start slow, but here I am with number three again already...

Eden's back with presents for all of you. :) She left for London rather abruptly back in Februaryish, probably kept in really horribly sporadic contact with most of the folks she spent time with; Zoe got a lavish wedding gift, Ben, Ethan, Riley and Johnny probably got the occasional postcard. She's terrible at staying in touch. But she missed you all and now that her gig in London is over, she's back, and those who knew her before will probably notice she's a bit more focused now. Still as bubbly as ever, just less prone to flakiness!

Clearly she needs someone to catch her up on all the gossip and fill her in on the new folks. :) And if anyone wants to discuss possible visits to London or such in the time she was gone, I'd be up for that too.
