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?

It's a natural-born skill. I exude enable-rays.

But seriously though. It's possible that after he arrived, Jesse was baby-sat for by Mel back when Mel was a dissatisfied teenage Heart. She'll be delighted to have him back around, because she doesn't really leave the Deck and doesn't get this wanderlust thing that some people catch. She will be by the coffeeshop to say hello and possibly drag her girlfriend over for coffee-dates and lunch.

Otherwise, I play Dafydd ([livejournal.com profile] takerofthings), Five of Clubs, only six months in the Deck but a pastry chef and spy for the Clubs; Sieben ([livejournal.com profile] sevenbyright), Jack of Spades, here for three and a half years; and Frankie ([livejournal.com profile] cardstitcher), Ten of Clubs and the Club doctor, but she might have known him in the pre-world-wandering days when he was younger too.

Welcome, and yay, and I am excite. ♥(♣♦♠)

I'm Muzy and have also been enabled by Myriad and other people so I feel your...pain? I also play four. But the one he probably knew was this one, Avery. She's just become a Ten of Diamonds, but she grew up at Heart Castle and is turning 27 in March. So they were probably hippie children together.

Besides that, I have another ex-Heart ([livejournal.com profile] headfollowheart) Zoe, who just challenged into the Spades at the rank of Four. She does not function until caffeine has been applied, so Jesse will be seeing her. She's 20. I also have Elisha ([livejournal.com profile] cipherspeak), 10 of Clubs, another devotee of the coffee gods and 30, been in the Deck six years, and Urania ([livejournal.com profile] starscrownher) another Four of Spades, who...mostly flits around acting possibly crazy. Except not so much lately. She just turned 33 last week.

Blythe. Will be a derp with Jesse. And Piper will "ooh~" at his paintings.

But introductions first! I'm Violet, welcome to our humble home, and Myriad is such an enabler of everything gawd. :||

I've four characters up in here: Blythe here, the Ten of Hearts; Adrien ([livejournal.com profile] black0and0white), the Six of Diamonds; Suzanne ([livejournal.com profile] superpsyched), the Two of Spades; and finally Piper ([livejournal.com profile] eucre), a Joker.

RIGHT. And. Piper and Adrien are my Deckbabies, so either one of them might have met Jesse ten years ago. Ah... Ten years ago, Adrien was part of a royal Spade family (unfortunate circumstances, really), so if they knew each other at all, Jesse will probably be surprised to see him as a Six of. Well. Diamonds.

And Piper is Piper is Piper, as she puts it herself. She wouldn't have changed; she doesn't approve of it. xD

And. I am very excited to play with you. ♥♥♥(♦♣♠)~ :D

Hello! I am Marie. I am fairly new too! :D

And this girl here? This is your fellow six of hearts and OMG she is an artist! And OMG she loves coffee and needs a coffee shop. Jesse better expect her to come nearly every day when she's working on serious commissions. She needs caffeine like woah during those times.

More seriously? Lasandra is an artist and has painted for the Hearts Court for the last few years. She's a half outside and half deck baby. Mother was a heart who fell in love with a normal joe and the family moved back to the Deck for a little while when Sandy was 12 (and Jesse 13?) in hopes Sandy's mother would recuperate from an illness. It didn't take and the outsider father moved back when Sandy was 13. They could have talked in that period of the time? She's a little tongue tied with people she's just met, however. Once she gets over her tripping tongue she gets more excited and bubbly.

And... that is all I have. :| I hope to rp with you soon.

/hair-tousle

Because for Jesse? She probably will.

[identity profile] uncutclarity.livejournal.com 2012-01-28 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Don't forget dancing to the music in their head. Avery still does that on occasion.

Zoe in particularly will probably be walking in zombie-like for a midday pickmeup. XD

gawwwwwd. :/ i love you myriad. so so much.

Adrien! Was quiet. And all photography everywhere. And he's two years younger than Jesse. And now he is flamboyant and dressing people up and scary ~fabulous~.

Piper will be the same as always: loopy and childish. ^o^

WARM WELCOMES. ARE MY MIDDLE NAMES. :DDDDD

[identity profile] somuchheart.livejournal.com 2012-01-28 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
by the way. your pb. is ultimate derpage/cutie put together. just informing you.

ADRIEN'S SENSIBILITIES ARE SO HARMED. Just let him give you scarves and suits and nice shoes pls. .___. But seriously. He will most likely love Jesse. Because Jesse is cute = flirting will happen.

Free muffins deserves kisses on the nose and excited proclamations that he's her favorite. And he also needs a nickname.

I WISH. MY REAL MIDDLE NAME. WAS THAT AWESOME. <--- my real middle name is nonexistent. According to the parental units, they're overrated. :|||

The riddle thing might be taken in various ways, depending on what's the dealio back in her studio. If it's relaxed or near the start, she giggle, she try her best, he might have to give hints, but darn, she'll try to be a good ridder-type-person. If it's towards the middle-end? Growly artist is growly and might scribble angry things. (It's not you Jesse, it's her on those days. She still loves you).

Towards the end of her projects, she is locked away.

Oh, she totally will! The bathrooms will be elegant and black and white with trims of cool colors. It will be lovely. :D

Spin bb spiiiin!

Hey hey hey~ /glomps you :|

I'm Melly and welcome to the game. Get ready for those enabling because it happens a lot and in a good way. :D So far I only have one character and it's this little lady here. Her name is Andrea Cruz-Well, just turned 29 and is an odd Four of Spades. When she was younger she would run away and hide in either the Clubs' or Hearts' castles to avoid her classes. Maybe she could have met him when lurking around. They might have hit it off since the vocabulary hobbies would have be a huge interest to Andrea.

She also recently returned to the Deck herself after leaving for a few years. Maybe they also ran across each other during their little trips? Anyways /♥♥♥ GLOMPS SOME MORE ♥♥♥

[identity profile] somuchheart.livejournal.com 2012-01-28 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
there are so many cuties that I'm just hoping people will use in the Deck. jr was definitely one of them. and then you apped. :D

Scarves are marvelous, man. And being okay with Adrien's flirting is always for the best. He will not change sorry. :|

This is the beginning of a wonderful and super cute friendship. I can just tell.

DUDE I KNOW. I spent forever when I was little coming up with good ones for myself. Like. My mom's middle name is Mirabelle. Which is gorgeous. And I don't get any. Not fair. That is pretty badass ngl.

Also standard warning now that you're in the Deck. Prepare to get sucked into the chaos that is the Deck and its AUs quicker than you can say "what is this place and why are there so many enablers lurking."

Which is long. Admittedly. But you get my point. >_

Hola o/

I'm EJ. :) I was not enabled by Myriad, but you know. :D Such is life? Welcome, Welcome.

I play four people here- Victor ([livejournal.com profile] morallydefunct), Nine of Spades. He's that surly guy that is charming from time to time, and mostly just sort of sits quietly or has brief conversations with most people. It is a thing.

Then I have Leona (this journal), Six of Clubs. She's currently dating (are they dating officially? IDK) Mel, the Horse Queen of Awesome. She's pretty down to earth, loves to play pranks of people, loves her coffee. Love her alcohol. You know. Things. She wasn't deck born, originally from England. Um, she's great with numbers and rather friendly. Also has no filter between brain and mouth.

Then I have Ceiro ([livejournal.com profile] heartafterheart), King of Hearts. Warm, loving, thoughtful. He'll be ultra supportive of Jesse. His wife, Judith, just gave birth to their first child, however, so he will be very preoccupied for a bit. :)

AND THEN- There is Hadyn ([livejournal.com profile] maskofhearts), Seven of Hearts. He was born a Spade, became a Heart at age 8. He's very Spade-ish in some of the things he does. He's also studying medicine at the moment, and will never coffee IVs. He will...probably flirt/hit on Jesse (even if Jesse is an utter ladies man. Hadyn...flirts with everyone. Even Toads.) And will be nice, most of the time. :)

/HUGS BACK BABY

It is. It really is. The enabling going on here is rampant and fun. You will be juggling more than two accounts because you will be tempted to join and shall join the AUs we have running around at House of Crack. It will be worth it, I assure you.

Both is possible. :D Them being kiddy friends and running across each other during their leaves from the Deck. She'll totally drop by at his coffee shop to say 'hello' to him and possibly glomp him because Andrea here had very few friends when younger. She will cling on to you, cling. Get ready for all the dorkiness from an apparent Spade.

[identity profile] heart-the-art.livejournal.com 2012-01-28 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
She normally is not growly. On her good days Jesse will get hugs and tons of preliminary sketches. And apologies. Lots of them. And oh dear lord, Jesse is trying to get a Pixie of Doom to just cling to him forever? Cookies?

THE BEST IN TOWN. Sandy will see to it. B|

Spring? :D
