Why hello~

Well hello~ My name is Signs and I've been convinced to come here by the lovely Myriad, who should get an award her enabling skills. Met in class, less than two hours later I'm checking out this place's site, next morning I've submitted an application. I'm a currently a fifth-year Asian Studies student ( yes I know my major is worthless ), I love meeting new people, and the best way to contact me is via AIM at TheWaywardI. Please note: I am often invisible, so please feel free to drop a message even if it says I'm offline. If nothing else, I'll probably get it in a couple of hours.

The incredible derp you see in these icons is Jesse Pennington, a six of Hearts, recently returned to the deck after a bit of soul-searching in the "real world" for the last ten years. If your character is around the age of 27, they might have crossed paths in their early teens, but he was probably at least a little more gangly back then. He likes word-games, tongue-twisters, puns and other annoying vocabulary-related hobbies, which gives him a tendency to natter endlessly if given the chance. Don't worry--if you interrupt he'll listen with equal interest.

Jesse's probably been kicking around for a few months lately, but most of his efforts have been going into putting together a coffee shop in town. It'll be open soon, ready to display the artwork of local talent and provide glorious caffeine to all the Deck. Is there anyone who might have run into him, or is interested in having him hang some paintings? 

*waaaaaves*

Hi! Ana here. One of your friendly, neighborhood moderators, but I also have a few characters....

Julien (this account) is the Ace of Spades (and don't you forget it!). He's been in the Deck nearly 18 years and is the Spadiest Spade that ever Spaded also nearly 35 years old. Ten years ago, he was just about nearing the rank of Ace but he didn't have many (more than one) and spent most of his time working/training so it's not overly likely Jesse'd really know him. Plus he doesn't really approve of Hearts in general. So yeah.

[livejournal.com profile] elani_songbird is Elani and she's an Eight of Clubs and 20. Jesse's more likely to know her brother, Evan, I guess (he's 25ish and Qi plays him over at [livejournal.com profile] bluntforces), but it won't take long for Elani to discover Jesse and come introduce herself. She makes friends with everybody. She's also an accomplished singer so maybe he could talk her into singing in his coffee shop. It wouldn't take much talking.

[livejournal.com profile] di_a_mond is Diana and she's a Seven of Diamonds and 30. She runs a pub down in Town (business owners of the Deck, unite!) called the Four Suits.

And lastly is [livejournal.com profile] fiddlerjohnny. Johnny, 5 of Hearts showed up in the Deck about 10 years ago at the age of 17 so he probably just missed Jesse. Also, he doesn't remember anything before he stumbled (literally) onto the Deck. That's because the Devil is a sore loser. Mostly he wanders around, plays his fiddle, flirts with women, and goes walkabout Outside from time to time.

Anyway, welcome!
