[forgotten_vows]

RP Listing for Bakerstreet, Dear Mun, & Inkwell Bar

Bakerstreet:
Canon Point: Varies, generally post-"Remembering You"
► The Insomnia Meme -- Not being able to sleep is something Victor's honestly very used to. He will commiserate with you, similarly afflicted souls! Including Alice (doyousuppose), who's trying to avoid Wonderland nightmares.

► Asylum Meme: Meme, Interrupted -- An AU of an AU, so to speak. Instead of ending up at Dr. Bumby's, Victor ended up in Rutledge Asylum (a lateral move at best, mental-health-wise). At least Alice (doyousuppose) is willing to share her drawing paper.

► The Animal Companion Meme (V.2) -- Bayard, Victor's dog from his tumblr, makes his grand debut on Dreamwidth on this meme! Who wants to play with the cute husky puppy?

► (who are you?): The Amnesia Meme -- Taken from the point in his story where his memories have been locked away by a certain evil (if now very dead) doctor, Victor stumbles into Oswin Oswald (remembermeandrun). Who knows if she'll be able to jog anything, but hey -- company's not unwelcome.

► Another Love Meme -- Love is in the air, and Victor is a part of it, thanks to Alice (doyousuppose) and an apron full of penny candy. <3

► (help! i need someone!): The Rescue Me Meme -- There's someone needing rescuing about! Specifically, Victor needs some rescuing from some Ruins. Fortunately for him, Alice (doyousuppose) is around and willing to lend a helping parasol. Adventures in Wonderland ho!

► Trapped in a Room Full of Puppies Meme There is a room, it is full of puppies, people are trapped in it. Victor finds himself sharing space with Rochelle from "Left 4 Dead" (axemeaquestion) and about twenty wiggly husky puppies. Good times!

► The Support Group Meme -- People from all over are coming together into support groups based on different horrible experiences. Victor's group is the "victims of mental tampering" group (to put it politely). An Alice (queensbane) joins him there to engage in some angry remembering.

► cuz death is my chance to be free: The Broken Meme -- It's a showcase of broken people, and Alice (queensbane) finds herself having to deal with a broken Victor -- or, rather, his mindraped "puppet" self, Thirteen.

► Mind Fuck: The Mindfuck Meme -- There's a number of ways to screw with a person's mind. Victor and Alice (fearsnothing) are about to discover one of them.

► IC Anon Questions Meme -- Have a question to ask Victor, but don't want to do so publicly? Go on anon and hit him up!

► HURT // COMFORT MEME -- Victor is having a really bad day when it comes to memories of what Dr. Bumby did to him. Perhaps Amaterasu (motherofthesun) (from Okami) can help cheer him up? (Answer: Yes.)

► NEVER HAVE I EVER the meme -- It's a party, and we're playing "Never have I ever," where you have to take a shot for every thing you've done. Victor's drinking apple juice, and he's taken:

• one for drinking alcoholic beverages
  
• one for losing his temper
  
• one for being self-sacrificial (probably should have had at least two, but he's trying to spare his bladder)
  
• one for being brainwashed
  
• a half-shot for existential angst (he thinks that his bout with amnesia would fit, but didn't want to commit to a whole shot)
  
• a half-shot for killing someone (he didn't directly kill Lord Barkis Bittern, but he knows he could have stopped the man from killing himself -- also in honor of his one tumblr kill)
  
• one for being told he had a destiny by someone else (Dr. Bumby gave him the "purpose" line a few times)
  
• one for being felt up without permission
  
• one for being rejected (because, well, he didn't end up married to either Victoria or Emily, did he?)
  
• one for being called a pervert (and here he takes a bathroom break)
  

► The Dream Bubble Meme! -- People's memories are forming into "dream bubbles" that other people can visit. The memory Victor's starting to relive is the one where he accidentally proposed to Emily. Could something weirder than a corpse bride interrupt?

► The Be My Therapist Meme -- A (possibly semi-sentient) therapy room is lacking both therapist and client. Will Victor fill either of these roles for another person?

► SNOWFALL MEME: Winter Wonderland Meme -- Oh, the weather outside is frightful~ but poor Victor has been deprived of any fire, delightful or no. He's stuck in an old shed as he waits out the gradually-lessening storm. Which he ends up sharing with one Amaterasu (motherofthesun). At least the company's good.

► Cheer Up!: the meme -- People are feeling low, and in need of cheering up. Hiccup Haddock (footless) is on the end of some accidental cheer -- that is, if he enjoys being jumped on by Victor's puppy Bayard.

► THE IC ANONYMOUS QUESTIONS MEME -- Essentially "take two" of the above "IC Anon Questions" meme. Feel free to bug Victor, anonymously or not! One anonymous questioner turns out to be Alice (doyousuppose), which makes things a bit awkward when she reveals herself.

► The Rabbit Done Died -- How would you react to a friend being pregnant? Victor will find out as he encounters a pregnant Amaterasu (motherofthesun). In human form, no less.

► the affectionate physical contact meme -- Do you want to hug someone? Cuddle someone? Kiss someone? Or maybe just tell someone you love them? Victor's working up the nerve to do the latter with Alice (doyousuppose), which might lead to some of the above. If he's lucky. (He's lucky!)

► THE END - the afterlife meme -- Post-death shenanigans are the best shenanigans. Victor's back in the Land of the Dead (or maybe somewhere else?), waiting to see who's down there with him. As it turns out, Alice (doyousuppose) is -- although it appears she's had a very weird trip before her arrival. And there are still plenty of questions to answer before they can settle down to a happy afterlife.

► FRIENDSHIP MEME (because love takes many forms.) -- Victor's ready to make some friends! Or interact with old ones.

► HUG MEME -- Victor can be awkward with physical affection sometimes, but he's willing to give or receive a hug -- especially from friends/loved ones.

► FUCK THIS, I JUST WANT TO ROLEPLAY -- Anything goes in this one! And it really is anything when Dr. Insano (doctor_insano) is involved, as Victor is probably about to find out. . .

► THE GOD MEME -- Victor's just gotten a MAJOR power upgrade. As God of the Misplaced (& Butterflies), he is in charge of everyone who has ever found himself in a situation like his -- lost, alone, and deeply confused in a new location, for good (the Land of the Dead) or ill (Whitechapel). Shall any call upon him for aid? And who else is in this pantheon anyway?

► The Daemon Meme -- In an alternate universe, people's souls go around outside their bodies in the form of animals known as daemons. Victor and his daemon, the dormouse Lucinda, happen across a male!humanform!TARDIS (1st_companion) and his daemon, the blue butterfly Nebulae, while visiting Hyde Park.

► The Springtime Meme! -- It's spring! Victor loves spring! Come do springtime stuff with him!

► The Alternate Universe Meme -- In a universe where Bumby won, poor Victor's been reduce down to a mere puppet named Thirteen. Perhaps Amaterasu (motherofthesun) can lend a helping hand (or paw) and bring him back to himself?

► BABIES! BABIES EVERYWHERE. [THE MEME] -- There are babies everywhere! Is Victor going to find himself an expectant father with Alice, or babysitting a friend's kidlet?

► the let's get red meme -- Red with blood, that is. Victor's wandering around covered in the sticky crimson stuff -- but is it his, or someone else's? Ryota (soulfuldoll) learns that it's someone else's -- Victor's apparently had a Hysteria Mode moment. . .

► [ _______ OR _______ ]: Would You Rather-? -- People are asking questions, offering a choice between two things. Ryota (soulfuldoll) poses the question "Would you prefer to be born knowing your state in life and role including the good and the bad, or born without knowing and forging your own path, and learning the hard way?" Victor answers with the latter option, having had enough of the former thanks to his parents.

► The Random Icon Meme -- Random prompts based on icons ahoy! Victor's prompt is him crashing into something. Again. Although he had a good reason -- Shadow (forgottenshadow) is following him with a sword. . . .

► The April Fools Day Meme -- Ready to be pranked? Victor just might be by Ryota (soulfuldoll). Or he could get awesome caterpillars and a hug. Either one.

► The {Uncommon Muse} Meme -- Come one and all, obscure muses from possibly-obscure canons! Reg Shoe (thatsvitalist) from the Discworld is wandering around -- well, most of him. Victor's trying to return the part that fell off.

► The Underworld Meme -- You have traveled to the Underworld -- but which Underworld? Well, for Victor, the Underworld will always be the Land of the Dead -- but this time, Fluttershy (fluttersby) is along for the ride.

► The Truth or Dare Meme -- Truth or Dare! Which will Victor get? Which will Victor do? Only one way to find out! And what he gets is -- awkwardness! Mostly because one of the participants is his ex Emily (butterflycorpse). At least his round with Ryota (soulfuldoll) should be okay. He hopes.

► The Hug-it-out Snuggle Meme -- Hugs are needed! Will Victor be receiving or giving? Depends on who answers.

► Hall of Mirrors meme -- Victor's absolutely lost in a mysterious hall of mirrors. Can Rory (tallymarkedman) help him out before whatever's lurking in the silvered surfaces makes its move?

► The Nonsexual Intimacy Meme -- Intimacy isn't all about the hot and heavy moments. Sometimes it's as simple as sharing a meal with a friend. Isn't that right, Amaterasu (motherofthesun)?

► walpurgis night: the walpurgisnacht meme -- Apparently, the eve of April 30th is a highly magical time of year called Walpurgisnacht. Magical people galore are out -- and hey, Victor's among them! (Mostly because I'd like a chance to actually use the magic system I made up for his verse.) Who shall seek to look beyond the norm with him?

► The Carnival Meme -- Carnival time! Victor's actually come out of his shell enough to go visit the latest one that's hit the East End -- and it seems he'll be encountering a Rory (tallymarkedman) there.

► The Mirror of Erised Meme -- Victor's run across the Mirror of Erised (or at least a similarly-enchanted looking-glass) and finds himself stunned by what he sees -- a loving family, his friends by his side, and Alice's family among the living once more. What'll happen should someone come up to him while he gazes into the glass? Probably at least some awkwardness, as it's Alice (doyousuppose) who's stumbled upon him.

► The IC Anon Unwritten Letters / Secret Messages Meme (on memeboxy, found through bakerstreet) -- Sort of like the IC Anon Questions meme, only you don't necessarily have to ask Victor anything. He's open to any message you might have for him! One anon inquires as to his greatest fear, which Victor confesses is the dark.

► The DREAMSCAPE Meme -- Dreams! People are having them; people are visiting them. Victor's dream consists of him visiting one of his personal Wonderland's domains: The Butterfly Jungle. One can probably guess what it consists of from the name. Anybody want to go tromping through the undergrowth with him? Special Agent Dale Cooper (hotblackcoffee) does -- and he's not even bothered that this is a shared dreamscape deal. How great is that?

► The Be My Therapist Meme -- That weird therapy room is back, and this time, Victor is most assuredly in the role of client. To the Marquis de Hoto (forgottenmemory) (or, well, a memory imprint of the Marquis, but shhh). Who is a large anthropomorphic rabbit in a red jacket and waistcoat. This won't be weird at all!

► The "Close To Canon But Not Really Strictly Canon" AU Meme -- Want to play something or someone who's sort of canon but not quite? Well, given that he's a crossover who went through his entire home canon first before getting mixed up in other people's canons, Victor's your man.

► Support Group Meme -- Support Groups are Back! Victor's the first one in a group called "Bad Experience With Mind Control," poor guy.

► Journey to the Centre of the Mind -- Ever wonder what Victor's mental landscape looks like? Well, you've got five domains to choose from, so pick one and go exploring!

► The Nest of Eggs Meme -- There is a nest. Within this nest is a single egg. And within this egg is -- a dragon. Or, well, a fire-lizard, which isn't quite the same thing but is very damn close (and in Pern-canon is the ancestor of the true genetically-modified dragon). Victor goes to investigate and ends up with. . ."a relaxed, lazy and gentle silver male fire lizard." He's startled at first, particularly by the telepathic bond that forms, but -- how can one resist owning a fire-lizard?

► The Silent Hill Meme -- Because, hey, it's close to having to face your problems in Wonderland, right? Victor's stuck in the town of Silent Hill thanks to a vacation gone very wrong -- perhaps Harvey Finevoice (milliondollarpipes) can help him out?

► The Cute And Fluffy Halloween Meme -- Halloween isn't all about scares and horrible things. Sometimes, it's about cuteness: trying on new costumes, going trick-or-treating, things like that. Tetsuya 2 (blue_plicity) is all ready for trick-or-treating, cute little puppy that he is -- Victor, however, is just having enough trouble coordinating his own dog Bayard and his fire lizard Moonlight.

► The end?: Good Ending/Bad Ending meme -- Double trouble as we take a look at two potential endings to Victor's story. In the first, he's out walking his dog Bayard, enjoying life in all its domestic harmony. In the second -- he's still Thirteen. And in that bad end, Byakuran (creepinacup) has decided he wants a chance to play with the broken doll too.

► Dear Bakerstreet, what do I do about this (a) bad romance and/or (b) rad bromance?: Ask A Question; Get An Answer. -- It's just a random question and answer session, on any topic you choose! Victor's getting into the action on both fronts:

• "What should I name this spear? Skypiercing Stormclaw? Variform Soulbreaker?" asks Owain (twitchery), and Victor replies, "Skypiercing Soulbreaker." Owain likes it, but wonders about interrobangs.
  
• Asks his own question in the form of "What's the best way to train a small dragon, about two-and-a-half feet long?" Laguna Loire (abigheart) suggests making friends (not an issue, as Victor's referring to his fire lizard Moonlight); ᴠᴇᴄᴛᴏʀ (operatives) suggests quarantine and "potassium cyanide and hydrochloric acid," which Victor naturally flips out a bit about.
  

► it took so long to get me back on my feet } THE RECOVERY & RELAPSE MEME -- Are things getting better for you, or worse? Victor's not sure -- he's having a bad day thanks to what Bumby did to him. Fortunately, Moonlight's there to provide some comfort -- and perhaps Daenerys Targaryen (uncharred) can offer up an encouraging word or two?

► DRAGONS BITCHES! A meme. -- DRAGONS! Do you own one? Do you fight one? ARE you one? Then come and play! Victor and Moonlight are totally up for meeting more dragons!

► The Mental Hospital Meme -- Victor's back in bedlam, in another twisted verse where his parents skipped the "send to a psychiatrist" step and went straight for "supervised hospitalization." Can Alice (queensbane) help him get loose?

► At The Beach Meme -- Victor doesn't look like one for beach vacations, does he? But with a good slathering of sunscreen and an umbrella for shade, even he can enjoy some sand castle building.

► A trail of bright blue butterflies: The Night Circus -- Victor's not usually one for the circus, but this one intrigues him. Will anyone join him on his exploration? Will the mun admit to looking at this meme mainly because of the subject line text? Well, there's always Susan Sto Helit (goodoldsue) working as an unusual (and somewhat snarky) fortune teller. . .



Dear Mun:
Canon Point: Post-"Remembering You"
✦ Previously on tumblr, still getting used to this (AU, Canon is Corpse Bride & A:MR) -- Victor finds Dreamwidth an acceptable place to dwell, but wonders what on earth he's even doing here. Will anyone even want to play with him? The answer, according to Sally (inthewind), Owsin Oswald (remembermeandrun), and Alice (doyousuppose) is yes.

✦ on the prospect of a canon update -- An Alice (fearsnothing) is complaining to her mun about why her mun would want to update her to Queensland of all places. Victor comments to offer a little acknowledgement and sympathy.

✦ *wondering what his mun is doing poking around with an application* -- Victor is rather confused as to why his mun is filling out an application for ryansgulch. (For the record, the mun wanted to practice writing one just in case she decided to go for it in a future app cycle.)

✦ help I have a problem. a turbo-tastic problem. (SPOILERS) -- An AU Turbo from Wreck-It Ralph (gamejumped) is completely baffled by his mun's insistence on making alternates of him (six at last count!). Victor comments that he knows all about this from his own alternate-loving mun (bringing up the fact that, if you include the Docs from my group journals 8docs_n_1victor and secundus_cast, I have TEN Doc Browns), but they should be thankful. After all, without AUs, they wouldn't exist.

✦ (no subject) -- Jack Skellington (skeletalgrin) wishes everyone a Merry Christmas! Victor is pleased to return the greeting to his fellow stop-motion Burtonite.

✦ Happy Birthday, Mun! -- Victor wishes me a happy birthday, although he's not so sure I should be buying him a paid to celebrate. Even if it is the result of me wanting him to know he's loved. Sakakibara Kouichi (anotherchopsuey) and Alice (fearsnothing) come by to say Happy Birthday as well (thank you!).

✦ on a tentative reserve -- Alice (fearsnothing) isn't one to turn down a new adventure, but she wants to make sure her mun isn't biting off more than she can chew by reserving her at a second game. Victor can't help but note that there's a lot of that sentiment around dear_mun, and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

✦ Still Looking At Games? -- Victor's a little puzzled as to why I'm still considering putting him in a game after his rejection from ryansgulch. After all, someone with an AU like his is going to have a hard time of it. . . However, both Mitsuko Souma (1950) and ネオ (Néo) (futamura_neo) encourage him not to give up hope -- the latter even states that there's always multiverse_nexus.

✦ on being given a paid and promoted to muselist. canon is American McGee's Alice. -- Alice (doyousuppose) has just been upgraded, so to speak, by her mun. Victor's glad to hear of it, although he personally isn't sure what to make of his mun's new interest in getting him a paid now. (And then somehow it morphs into a conversation about expecting the unexpected and whether psychics have a frustrating life.)

✦ Icon Hunting -- The mun got him a paid, and now the hunt for icons is on! Victor reluctantly asks dear_mun for whatever help they may be able to provide, and tells his mun in no uncertain terms he's NOT going to have any Thirteen icons. Alice (doyousuppose) points out there's not a lot he can do to stop me, should I decide he needs some. . . And then the Queen of Hearts (offwithyour) comes in to scold Victor about being a distraction on Alice's path to getting well.

✦ Mun feels the odd need to plan out what essentially amounts to his own fangame -- The mun has made a WordPerfect document with lists of things like what outfits Victor would have in Wonderland, what weapons he would wield, and things like that. Victor spots me making SUBLISTS in my lists and promptly accuses me of having gone "Twilight Sparkle Mad." (Well, there's a reason she's one of my favorite ponies.) Alice (doyousuppose) drops in to offer some advice.

✦ On being accepted at Mallow Hallow! -- Dr. Insano (doctor_insano) is gloating about being accepted to mallowhallow. Victor goes ahead and offers some congratulations -- and discovers he apparently helped Insano get there! (No, seriously, one of Insano's "sample" links was their "Fuck This, I Just Want To Roleplay" thread.) Future plans to meet up are on the table.

✦ Making a Deal Regarding a Meme -- Victor's been fighting with his mun over a certain meme in bakerstreet, and he's tired of arguing against what amounts to a brick wall. So he makes me a deal in that he'll let me use the AU I want in the meme in question, if I give him a badass thread (either on Dreamwidth or tumblr) afterward. Being as I love playing him both as a woobie AND as a badass, this is a deal I can get behind!

✦ Someone's favorite season is coming -- Rapunzel (worthit) is all excited for the coming of spring, and her first Easter outside her tower. Victor, a spring-lover himself, comments that he's looking forward to May Day most of all.

✦ Fresh To mallowhallow And -- -- And Victor would like to make it very clear to his mun that he is NOT ready to fight hydras! Give him a few days to adjust! (He does thank me for letting him keep his sketchbook, though.)

✦ Happy Birthday To Me -- It's been a pretty quiet birthday for Victor, but he very much appreciates his headspace party. Especially since he gets to play with a Jabberwock's Eye Staff now. Bottom line, though it wasn't as busy as he might have guessed/hoped, he still had a good day. Gabriel Lightwood (gabriellightwood) expresses some confusion over the concept of a headspace party, while Terra (esper_child, and a friend of his from mallowhallow) expresses some disappointment she missed the day -- Victor reassures the latter that, in Mallow Hallow time, his birthday has yet to come around.

✦ (no subject) (A Cheshire Cat Bound for Rapture) -- The Cheshire Cat (felinae) has appeared, and seems rather disinclined toward his mun's tastes in games -- then again, he's going to ryansgulch, and what cat likes water? When he compares the place to dogs, however, Victor feels compelled to step in and defend his favorite animal.

✦ Captain's Log, Guybrush Threepwood -- Guybrush Threepwood (youfightlikeacow) thinks it's about time someone recognized him as a Mighty Pirate™. Victor points out that at least one of his deeds -- saving the Governor -- isn't something most pirates do.

✦ Greetings from Candle Cove~ -- Janice (still_doll_janice) isn't sure whether or not she likes that her mun has brought her to this place. On the one hand, yay meeting friends; on the other, boo socializing with strangers. Victor, who recognizes her from his tumblr adventures, drops in to give her some encouraging words.

✦ Mallow Hallow Sleepovers & Meme Dragons -- Victor confesses to me that getting invited to a spontaneous sleepover was the last thing he expected when the fog event started at mallowhallow -- on the other hand, since my original plans involved muse torture, he's not going to complain. He also thanks me for getting him getting him little Moonlight, even if he wishes he could be with the fire lizard more on Dreamwidth.

✦ Appreciating A Dragon -- Well, Fire Lizard -- January 16th is Appreciate a Dragon Day! Moonlight of course isn't quite smart enough to get what that is, but the mun lets him loose on dear_mun anyway in honor of the occasion.

✦ welcome back, alice. -- A wild Alice (doyousuppose) appeared! Victor used "want to say hello but doesn't know what to say!"



Inkwell Bar:
Canon Point: Post-"Remembering You"

Actual RP:
❈ Happy Birthday, Steve & Gary! -- The mun's musebox has moved to Dreamwidth! Victor chats with Steve & Gary (thosetwoturrets), wishing them a happy birthday and apologizing for his lack of gift. They assure him it's fine. Later, he joins his mun (crossover_chick) and some of his fellow muses in talking to Lisa (alienlisa) about his application to ryansgulch.

❈ Easter Fool's Birthday? -- Another birthday celebration, this time for Simon Garfunkle (flightattendantguy). Victor even has a gift this time -- glowstones, made using the one spell he currently definitely knows. (He's going to have a talk with me about this, apparently -- and about tweaking my magic system/spells.)

❈ And It's Way Nicer This Year Too -- More birthdays, and this one's for Alice Liddell (save_us_alice)! Victor gets her a new weapon -- the old Wand weapon from the A:MR artbook, the one that shoots electricity. It seems to be a hit. (After all, if the people at Unity Alice like it. . .)

❈ Happy Birthday Victor! (Yes, Just Victor) -- Hey, guess what? It's birthday time again -- and this time, it's Victor's birthday! And he gets a party almost entirely to himself! Let joy be unconfined! :D Lisa (alienlisa) certainly takes this to heart, bringing in an awesome sculpted cake of the Ball & Socket and offering Victor (and all his alternates) a trip to see the Butterfly Nebulae (if the Doctors can stop arguing about who gets to drive).

❈ Birthday Party at High Noon -- Lucy's birthday has come around for the Inkwell crew, and as usual Victor's got a present to give. It's not as fancy as some of the others he's given -- just a pair of solid sneakers -- but hey, it's something she'll use.

❈ Dragon -- Well, Fire-Lizard Tamer -- after getting himself a baby silver fire lizard, Victor returns to the Inkwell to introduce the little one to his new home. Along the way, he gets some tips on feeding and care from his mun, confuses the poor dragonet with his various alternates, and gives the little guy a name -- Moonlight.

❈ So What's Your Age Again? -- Birthday times have reached the Inkwell again, this time for esteemed owner Doc Brown (clockwork_doc). Victor gives him a pleasantly goofy present in a Mr. Fusion lamp. And when Lisa (alienlisa) shows up, there is much squeeing over Moonlight. Whose birthday is this again?

❈ This One's Special -- Two birthdays in the same week? Well, our very own DeLorean-turned-little-girl Dee (dee_lorean81) considers her birthday the date of Temporal Experiment #1, so yes! Victor's prepared again fortunately, giving her the Happy Meal boxes and toys McDonald's gave out back when the Animated Series was on TV.

❈ Happy Halloween! (^o^) -- It's the first Halloween party on Dreamwidth for the Inkwell, and the residents are celebrating in style (particularly because there's no hurricane to ruin things this year). Victor's dressed up as Nathan/The Repo Man from Repo!: The Genetic Opera thanks to talk of a Repo AU on tumblr. The arrival of Butterfly Boy's Secundus friends (secundus_cast) sparks a conversation ranging from the Halloween celebrations the mun has set up on tumblr, to the fact that both Butterfly Boy (butterflyboy) and Forgotten Vows were introduced during Halloween parties.

❈ Portal 2 Beats Both Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 -- The year has come around again, and with it Steve & Gary's birthday! While the mun has decided to keep presents largely off-screen from now on, it is true that Forgotten owes them a gift -- and he comes through with chew toys shaped like X-Box and PS3 controllers.

❈ Quad-Birthday (Is It A Wonder The Mun's Out Of Present Ideas?) -- Birthday time for Victor and his mass of alternates (plus Marty) has rolled around again, and FVV's proven himself the favorite by being the only muse his mun could think up a gift for. At least he can share the fruit from his new apple tree with everybody?

❈ It's The Year Of The -- Portal? -- Back to Steve & Gary having birthdays, and the group got them a combined present this year -- a Wii U with Wii Remotes and a Balance Board, adjusted so that their puppy selves can play games. FVV's in charge of handing over the games themselves, which happen to be "No More Heroes" and its sequel. Hey, the mun and the muse have been watching Helloween4545's LPs and think the turrets would like them!

❈ Just Don't Call Him An April Fool -- Simon's having his birthday, and while Victor doesn't have much to do with the actual present (video games again, interestingly -- "Left 4 Dead" and "Microsoft Flight Simulator X"), Lisa (alienlisa) surprises him with a hug once she arrives. Largely because this was going up at the time. (Warning: said fic is dark, creepy, and contains implied not-really-consensual oral sex and explicit masturbation. Read with caution!)

❈ All Hail Our May Queen -- Alice's birthday once more, and while Forgotten is happy enough to let his counterpart DGVictor (deadgirlslikeme) give the present, after Butterfly Boy (butterflyboy) is named an inspiration for it, he's asked if he also created a compendium of Wonderland insects for his beau on tumblr. No, but he did create a special display box full of Wonderland objects. . .and may have used his counterparts' sketches of an Origami Ant to have a go at folding his own. Not sure how it turned out, though. . . And then, when Lisa (alienlisa) shows up, the conversation eventually turns from "why does Mark Hamil have a beard, he doesn't look good with one" (Lisa and her mun are back into Star Wars, you see) to discussions of his magical power and future entries in his series. And his guilt at constantly taking over conversations. And an incident with a Wii remote.

❈ Prepare Yourself. . . -- For the quadruple birthday! And happily, all the participants -- Marty (museicalmarty), Butterfly Boy (butterflyboy), and DGVictor (deadgirlslikeme) -- are getting presents this time. Sure, he's arguably gotten the nicest present with the return of some old childhood toys, but it's the principle of the thing.

Weird Nebulous Category:
❈ Hurricanes Will NOT Stop Halloween Parties! -- Back in 2012, the Inkwell held its last Halloween party on LiveJournal, despite some nasty weather making it look like we wouldn't have a Halloween at all. Butterfly Boy (butterflyboy) took the opportunity to introduce a friend to all his LJ compatriots -- Forgotten Vows! Given this was the LJ days, this was before Forgotten had a journal of his own, so all his interaction was done through Butterfly Boy or the mun's journals. Hence the reason for this new category.

❈ Five Years of Inkwell! -- 8/8/13 was the Inkwell's fifth anniversary, so the gang pulled out all the stops for a rocking good party! Forgotten naturally was in attendance, and talked a bit to Lisa (alienlisa) about the new Doctor and the weirdness of accents. However, this was all done through Doc's (clockwork_doc) account, so into this category it goes.

❈ Contemplation (Freeform Fic) -- Victor sits on the roof of the Inkwell and has a rather melancholy wonder at his current circumstances. Not really an RP, as indicated by the name, but since it's at inkwell_bar I figured I'd make a note of it here.

❈ 50 Years of Time Travel -- Over on planet_alnilam, Lisa (alienlisa) is having a party for the 50th Anniversary of "Doctor Who!" Everyone's invited, although all interaction is being done through the muses' (8docs_n_1victor) journal. Victor shows up with the other RPers after a talk about what happened during the anniversary episode and how the next season might go down, putting in his two cents about long-running series and continuity errors in them. After all, thanks to him having a Pernese fire lizard, his mun has learned a fair amount about Pern -- and about the errors in the series. They also discuss Lisa's own (technically future) pet dragon, Rising Fog.

❈ Holiday Wishes (Fic) -- Another "RP-style ficlet," this time centering around the fact Victor's had kind of a slow and sad holiday season (not in the least because I skipped the Christmas party at the Inkwell again). Secundus Alice (from secundus_cast) decides to cheer him up a bit.
