I thought it would be best for everyone if I put one of these up.

If you have any issues about how I play Robert, you are encouraged to raise them with me here. Of course, I very much welcome use of examples with your problem, so I can have a better idea of what to fix. If you have questions about why Robert did something or why he did so in the way he did, those are also encouraged.

That which does not kill the muse makes him stronger, right? And I want to be the best player I can for all of you!

Anonymous commenting is on. As for the IP address issue, in spite of playing two hackers, I have absolutely no idea of what to do with them, so you're quite safe.

If you feel the need to contact me privately, the best way is probably by e-mailing agreylady@gmail.com. You can also talk to me at my rl journal, elspeth_vimes, or look for the elusive Elspeth Vimes on AIM.

So now the community wants to make us reenact Jim Carrey movies?

I got home before I did extensive damage, but I have to wonder how much the firm's willing to put up with me. I've had them convinced for a while that I really am still a stable, reasonable person, and then this happens.

I've been thinking about changing career paths, but I'd rather not be fired because of this stupid community.

Morgan laughing stop won't.

Community cause. Wish do not for extension.

*Somehow, the fact that he'd done the proposal thing before-twice-didn't help. He'd gotten the ring over a month ago and still hadn't made a move. But now, with her voice really back, and them spending a nice Valentine's Day upstate in a small resort with lots of gardens, if he couldn't manage it now...

And this is why Robert has been slightly jumpy all day, though he's been trying to hide it.*

Okay, so, two things.

First, Robert might be asking the comm tonight about ways to get Giselle's singing back. Again. He really wants to fix this.

Second, this was my idea for Valentine's Day. They take a trip to somewhere very pretty upstate (...I should research that. >.>). And he might actually motivate himself enough to finally propose (he will be requesting that they wait a few days or something to announce it then, as he doesn't want anyone else to know that he was actually dorky enough to propose on Valentine's Day, but I think we all know how well that will work). But here's the catch, he won't be proposing unless he's found a way to get Giselle's voice back, because he'll still be feeling too guilty otherwise.

How does this sound to you, AmyJack? Anything you want to add/take away/yell at me for?

Giselle?

What happened? What did you do?

Well, we're off to Andalasia.

I think it's safe to assume that I'll still have internet access. Time might be another matter, we might be busy.

I should probably figure out how to cook a turkey this year.

I don't sing.

(( Doing this because I know I've got time right now, don't know how much I'll have tomorrow night. As for why I'm doing it in the first place, it does set up the finale and I want a liiitle more Company of some sort before Bobby here gets to the end. ))

Robert and Joanne are standing on a balcony outside a restaurant. Why are they doing that again? Oh, right, Joanne wanted to smoke, and Robert came with her...they're both kind of drunk. He turns to the woman.

( I just heard a door open that's been stuck a long time. )

[Voice post. In spite of his constantly insisting not to sing, he's actually not all that bad at it.]

( Click for Sondheim! )

(( He's going to do a lot of growing up in the next few days. A more mature Robert will eventually post the finale to the comm. I'm not sure if I'll cover any events in between in his journal or not. >.> ))

When she wasn't there...

I was so afraid she wasn't coming back.

I know she wouldn't leave, not if she had any choice, but...
I was terrified.


I couldn't take that again.

I'm just so glad I found out what was really going on before Morgan saw me. If she hadn't been at a sleepover...I'd never forgive myself.

I would never have wanted my apartment to get this crowded before. But it's nice.

If you...and Edward...really want to see an opera, I could get the four of us tickets to see Tristan und Isolde this Friday.

Though, I'm not really sure you'd like that one.


((The Metropolitan Opera really is doing Tristan und Isolde Friday. I looked it up. >.>))

This journal has switched maintainers. Though, of course, the character is the same.

I just want to apologize in advance for the fact that I will never be as good as the previous mun.
Anything you think I should know? Tell me. I've read what old threads I can find, but help is always good.

Robert was in the park once more, wth an amused smile on his face. All this, for just a hug? ...Well, he did need something to get his mind off Giselle. Rather, the lack of Giselle in his life...which was upsetting him, for who knows what reasons.

Robert Philip had caught an unusual break as of late. Things had settled smoothly with his client that afternoon, so he was off a few hours early. Praying to God that Nancy could handle both Giselle and Morgan (although it was the latter of the two he was more worried about), he grabbed a cheap paper, and headed to Central Park.

He found a clean, empty park bench, and sat right down. He opened the paper up, scanning the news...oddly, it all sounded so dull, compared to the strange ramblings of that online community.

Yes, life seemed easy right then and there for Robert. He wasn't expecting anything unusual.

Especially not the arrival of a game-obsessed purple haired girl.

Not that anyone ever does.
