Coming Down Easy

[lysander]

I've been thinking about this for a week or two, but it's probably about time I put it into words.

I RP for people.

And that's all well and good. It's a great quality in a staff member, as you can be guaranteed that they'll be dedicated to keeping the majority of people happy. They'll be concerned and interested.

And of course, some day they might make out a realization that other people dominate their free time.

Don't get me wrong. I'm proud to have done my time with the Staff, and from my humble origins to here I wish I had some sort of epic tale to spin for you all. The road I've walked to get here seems pretty long, but that road is so short looking back on it.

I'll keep up with my job until that time that I have to go. I'm not the type to make a dramatic exit. Just a dramatic goodbye.

So I'll try to keep up with a few things.

The Underdrome quest, and if FSA ever decides it's worthy again, Strange Happenings.

Unfortunately, I probably oughta drop Zexy as proud as I am of getting him. That means my thread with Prythian is defunct starting now.

I could go on to tell you all the glorious tales of things I'd seen and experience,d but I'll leave that for later. If you boys and girls want story time you can ask for it.

Remember. This isn't me bowing off the stage just yet. I'm just starting my last soliloquy. I'll try but I ain't makin' no promises.

Fairytales: I tell them, and I tell them good. I also take requests. Feel free to ask me to relate one to you via a reply to this thread.

[Xemnas (I)]

Well, Brezz, it has been good working with you, on the few occasions we have worked together.

I wish you well, and this soliloquy will be grand, I know it shall. And I'll see it through to the end! ...er, I think I will, at least.

Good luck with stuff, Brezz, especially the Underdrome >D

[lysander]

Aye, thankee sir.

I maintain that QMs are the ones who'll be needing the luck.

[Xemnas (I)]

I take it that you know not what you say, sir. We need no luck, the power of our ancestors runs in us. You'll be the ones needing luck.

And this was nothing, a mere gesture of acknowledgment at the fact that you are my senior here, and shall be missed.

[Fate]

I may not know you as well as others do here, being relatively new to the site, but I do think you'll be missed Brezzen. You were one of the first people I met here and I don't regret that; you helped me with my first character and I'm thankful.

All in all, I wish you luck in your future endeavors, whatever they may be.

[Beaver Dude]

Awr! ;-;

Well, at least it's not a good-bye, good-bye sorta deal.

Buh still. Your hard work will be missed! ;_____;

[lysander]

Haha, Draconas, you're a good'n. I'm glad to have your post here. Post moar, and we can get a good going away party going.

And Drac, if anyone's the senior here, it's definitely not me. I'm just some guy. A rather pretty guy, with some rad facial hair, but a plain old average joe nonetheless. Mutural respect between the two of us, agreed?

Fate: You know me as well as anybody. And if you want to know me better I'll be here in this thread, more than I've been anywhere on this site throughout time. For who knows how long, though so take advantage of it while it's there.

Besides, where best to learn about someone than at a funeral? Except at this funeral, I can learn about you in return.

[lysander]

Shameless double post for Dei:

Haha, I spose. I did put in some fat work on this place. But you're right. It's not a good-bye, just an au revoir, and one that will take a while to say.

[Xemnas (I)]

Ah, yes, mutual respect is a beautiful thing. I do believe I can do that.

And if this is a funeral, I should be crying. Yet, I am not. So, this is not truly a funeral, but a going-away party. No, not even that.

This is a retirement party. You may be retiring, but even old geezers come out of retirement every so often. I can't think of many circumstances when someone has become living after dying.

So yes, what shall we talk about at this retirement party of yours? It is your party, after all, and you may cry is you should wish to.

[Beaver Dude]

If he won't, it's quite alright, I'll cry for him:

TT____________TT

[lysander]

Haha, Hmm...

You make some strong points Draconas, I'm afraid I never got to know you that well. Not well enough as I'd like to anyway. So, in light of these revelations that Draconas has shed upon this thread, I will declare our first topic of conversation!

TALK ABOUT YOURSELF!

I want to know all about your favorite character that you made, your cleverest ability, your favorite food, your favored RP partners, and so on. Anything and everything that has to do with yourself is free and open for fair game. I want to know about YOU, the people of FM!

[lysander]

*patpat* There there, Dei. No need to cry. I'm still around after all, y'know. If you start crying... *sniff* I don't know if I'll be able to keep myself in check.

[Xemnas (I)]

Ooh, myself, eh?

Favorite character? Eh, he's on another site xD. He'd never be accepted, what with his abilities making him able to manipulate the elements and whatnot.

I have him on FS, if anyone wants to check him out sometime. Slayer Gnaritas.

Fav ability? His are my favorites. They will eventually allow me control of almost every element ever, so I love it.

Favorite RP partner? Ooh, good one. I dunno, I'd have to say...Rocket. Without a doubt. Rocket is just...Rocket, you know?

Food? Uhh...my dad makes really good lasagna.

Er, can't think of more...you must prompt me >.<

And what of you, Brezzen? Or shall you take your turn when all is said and done.

[Fate]

Thank you for the kind words. I'll definitely be using this topic to my advantage now XD. I've also gotta say that I like the avatar and sig you've got here-- everyone usually hates Suzaku that I talk to, but I don't XD.

Hmmm... favorite food? Probably my mom's homemade Eggplant Parmesean.

My favorite RP partner of all time actually isn't on this site, but he's definitely a noteworthy mention. I met him when I joined my first forum in December of 2006, and we started RPing together. We just got along so well and our characters would just bounce off of each other in similarities and differences. It continues to this day, and I haven't met another one like him yet XD.

And we want to know about you as well Brezz! Or at least I do since I don't know you that well yet.

[lysander]

To learn about a legend, one must first know the legend.

My name is Inigo Monto-

My name is Jak Dougherty, John Aloysius Cotterman Dougherty IV for those of you who are picky. And I am not afraid of the internet.

I was born in Dahran, Saudi Arabia, and lived most of my life in Ras Tanura. I had trouble with schools growing up, and had some severe emotional maturity issues up until these past couple years.

I am 17, and as most of you have deduced, can be a little flamboyant. I like colors, philosophy, poetry, romance, being a hormonal teenager, and my dream is to take over the world in a very unexpected way.

I have lots of beliefs, but I'm not overly political or religious. I believe in faith, and I believe that Obama is doing a good job with his presidency. Beyond that I will not talk on the subject here. To quote Big Fish "It's rude to talk about religion, you never know who you're going to offend."

I'm currently studying Japanese, though I don't know exactly why I've been fascinated by Japan so. I'm going to try and get a scholarship in Osaka, but the future is uncertain.

I am lazy and procrastinate a lot.

Tell me:

What do you think of the sky?

What is your favorite weather?

Briefly describe a moment of utter tragedy you experienced.

Briefly describe a moment of utter happiness you experienced.

Remember, these are just prompts, if you have something you want to add, add it, if there's something you don't want to share, don't. I'm not pressuring. Just an old man musing.

AGain, feel free to ask me any questions, or tell you any tales of my colorful past.
