On the closing of [digital_dive]. Now [homeless]

[changelingdude]

Hey dude,

It's been a long ride huh? Not our first and I'm betting, not outlast together.

It's kinda funny you know? I'm starting to get used to cancellations. But after the show, the comic book and now your game, I can honestly say it could be worse.

I know, totally comforting right? Stick with me I'm going somewhere with this.

We started out rough. You'd never played on a journal based game, heck the last thing you'd been RPing on was pro boards. Remember that?

But slowly...surely we figured things out together. Made some friends I'll never forget. Had some life changing moments. Too many to name because yeah...long post. TLDR dude.

But that world, those muns and their characters, they were family. And because of them you'll never look at some of us the same way again.

They say you never forget your first...I'm pretty sure when they say that they're talking about something other then Roleplaying games but Dive was alot of firsts for us both.

I'm still here, and there are still more adventures to be had dude. So do what I do the many, many, many times I get knocked down.

Take a breath.
Let it out.
Crack a joke.
And get back in the game.

I'll be waiting for ya!

...or, y'know, skip the joke part.

That's cool too.

[changelingdude]

And deprive the world of my quippy one liner genius? I'd sooner eat pot roast.

[bewareofwaffles]

I could arrange that, if you insist.

[changelingdude]

You're a madman Cyborg! A madman! I won't take part in your pork based madness!

[bewareofwaffles]

Chill, man. And for the record, pot roast is beef. Totally different animal.

"No matter what universe, no matter what game, you're a guy who always survives and carries on with a smile."

[changelingdude]

That's the plan at least.

Long time no see blondie. How've ya been?

[hippie_shifter]

"Still chief cook, bottle-washer, comm guy, gardener, and babysitter for Titans West. I may have to take a hiatus from it, though. We had Blackest Night on my universe and Trigon tried to attack my home. Things...went badly. My mun's planning for me to have a walkabout so that I get my head on straight."

"I'll come back to the Titans, and to your alternate. Not about to leave my Frog Prince out in the cold."

[changelingdude]

Aw shucks you're makin' me blush, and I'm not even the same guy.

As for me, I think I'll be taking a little vacation. Play some video games, catch up on my comic books. Then I'm gonna wrestle mun into letting me find some fellow superdudes to hang out with around here.

[hippie_shifter]

"Maybe a Rita Farr film festival on the big screen TV? Complete with lots of popcorn?"

She's grinning at him.

"You'll find somewhere to settle. I know it. You're too charming not to sweet talk your way in the door."

{{Heh. Thanks for being a sport. Since Fauna an OC for dc_nation, she might come across as odd for those playing in universes closer to canon. Besides, the game's stalled a bit due to players on vacation and such, and I could use the practice.}}

"Eventually, you might learn to take things seriously. But that's liable to happen sometime between pigs flying and hell freezing over. Maybe there's a version of you that wouldn't mind taking over Dayton Industries."

[changelingdude]

Sheesh, nice to see you too Steve.

I'll have you know that in the game that just closed I was running an entire hotel! Me! Head honcho. Big cheese. I mean...OK so maybe business wasn't booming. But the important thing was I was helping people right?

[it_aint_tinfoil]

A raised eyebrow and a smile. "That's impressive."

"All right, I admit that maybe I haven't been the father I ought to have been. Maybe that's why the mun's allowing me to have a second chance with everyone."

[changelingdude]

I am a huge fan of second chances.

But don't sell yourself short...I mean, I still think of you as my dad.

[it_aint_tinfoil]

"You've turned out..." He pauses. "You turned out to be a better man than I have. You and Rita both have very giving hearts."

After seeing this post, I had to bring her out once more.

[greenchosen]

My mun knows it's been a while since he talked to yours, and he says he knows what your mun is feeling. He's always around AIM if your mun wants to talk.

Nostalga bomb <3

[changelingdude]

Oh wow...DUDE! Blast from the past!

[Glomp hug]

Thanks for the support. Nothing like a familiar face to perk things up.

[wing_of_night]

You? Homeless? That's a travesty! Somewhere there's a game that's severely lacking in dorky wit.

[changelingdude]

You forgot stunning good looks~

[wing_of_night]

Hey, stunning good looks is my job. Just like cars is Cyborg's. I'm not saying you're not a lady's man though. Just that chicks kind of dig the dorky wit.

[changelingdude]

Excuses excuses. Ladies dig the pointy ears. It's been proven.

[wing_of_night]

Dude, three words. Buns of steel. Your argument is invalid.

[hippie_shifter]

"Oh...it's the smile. Definitely the smile. And there are advantages to going green."

Room for one more?

[bootyquake]

That's, like, kinda sweet.

Re: Room for one more?

[changelingdude]

Heh heh, I can do pretty good with the peptalk thing when I gotta.
