Purposes of this post:
1) Sign-ups. Is your character a New Feather you'd like to sign up? Or did you miss the sign-ups last time? Just let me know and I'll add them to the list.
2) Hassling. It's that time again when Oswald needs to give slackers a friendly reminder. If your character hasn't been getting in touch with their penpal (no contact for, say, a month or two), please let me know! Repeat offenders will be badgered in person, first time offenders will receive a note in their journal. If your character's partner was sent home shortly after the previous IC announcement, they are exempt from hassling.

Additionally, even if letters were handwaved, I'd like to encourage participants to reply to this entry anyway. That way, partners can discuss amongst themselves what the contents of the letters were and how many were sent, and such. This sort of thing is always good to clarify.

All couples are going to get switched around again, so everyone gets a new partner. There might be an IC announcement around the start of October. Either that, or I'll put the new list up in the OOC comm and handwave that it was announced ICly.

Comments

[calmbeforethe]

Oh, this sounds interesting! I think Ororo would willingly sign up for something like this if she hears about it.

[kingofwaste]

Wonderful! Would she sign herself up as Ororo or as Storm?

[mountain_sage]

Well, Saleh's partner was Molly Carpenter, but we haven't even contacted ICly or OOCly. But unless the mun says otherwise, I'm gonna assume that Saleh still hasn't contacted Molly.

And Usagi's been dropped, so Jay's gonna need a new partner.

[kingofwaste]

New partners will be arranged either way, so no worries there. As for Saleh, let's wait for Molly's mun, then.

[childofthefullmoon]

Oh hey I didn't know about this. I think Estelle would like to get involved.

[kingofwaste]

Okiedokie!

[seethrul]

Please put Yunoha on the list!

[kingofwaste]

Will do! Is her last name common knowledge in Luceti, or is it rarely brought up?

[eyesofstrength]

Leonhardt's partner was dropped a couple of days after he was hassled last, so he's actually exempt this time.

And I completely forgot with Hugo, but I think he would have written something to Haruhi soon after the announcement.

[kingofwaste]

Sounds good!

[lostinmyway]

Grune has actually been visiting Asch once a week since, you know, he's currently blind and all. :Db Letter-writing didn't go so well....

[kingofwaste]

This counts as correspondence for both of them. Definitely!

[crisisrain]

Don't swap Raven and Elicia around yet, he was meant to send her a message but at the time it was really bad for her, so we've been plotting to get something done by the end of this month.

Though you're free to have him hassle the old man about it!

[kingofwaste]

Will do!

[everyonesconfidant]

I think I did something with Hiro's partner... I can't remember. But here's the thing: Fattycakes's partner never replied to me when I sent them an OOC message, so I never really got around to sending them an IC one, too... so it's good that you're rearranging the couples.

[kingofwaste]

Hm... Tricky situation. I guess they're both exempt from hassling, assuming Fattycakes sent a message/letter and it got lost in 'transit' or was ignored.

[tailasoldastime]

Anise and Beast haven't written to each other since July, and OOCly there's been no discussion about handwaving in between now or anything. So... Beast will be getting badgered... again XD

[kingofwaste]

I'll wait for Anise's mun to confirm it just in case, but I'll sign them up for potential hassling!

[mischiefbreeder]

Asbel and Rudy made some contact, albeit handwaved, but haven't had much contact.

[ofwesternwinds]

Can confirm this! RL has kind of run me over as of late, so I've been slooowly working through tags. I will get on them, I swear.

What about this time? Would you rather we handwave a second time, or maybe try and get some kind of exchange going? I'm up for either, really.

[theogre]

Huh. I didn't even know Precis was signed up for this, so she hasn't contacted anyone. Actually, I think she was on a mission when the partners were announced, so she's probably forgotten. Oh well.

I'd like to sign Panda (bamboozler) and Sakura Oogami up (theogre). And apologies to Isamu's player, wow I'm clueless.

[kingofwaste]

Hahaha, I'll sign Precis up for preliminary hassling via a note, then.

And Panda and Sakura are in!

[chainedraven]

Gilbert has been ignoring anything and everything related to this since it first started, so.

[kingofwaste]

Tisk tisk, Gilbert.

[reversible]

I'd like to sign Tahno up for this so he can annoy some poor unsuspecting soul.

[kingofwaste]

Awesome!~

[uccellodifuoco]

Just here to drop a note from Ikki, just in case there's no IC announcement of the new partners.

"Stop it already, god-dammed rabbit! /shakes fist at"

Outside of that, looking forward to this. Keiichi finally contacted Sokka and Ikki and Gregor contacted as well (in one of the best first meetings I've ever threaded, I must say). Yoh didn't contact his partner, but since he was dropped I think it doesn't count orz

[breezing]

Ikki likes Ikki's name

/useless

[idealism]

Perhaps it would be possible to sign up Tsuzuki on this?

[kingofwaste]

Of course!

[savedtheworld]

I'm not sure if Aang and Kratos are considered to have talked this month? They did talk the month before, though.

And... what the hey, I'll sign up Rock Lee too.

[kingofwaste]

I'll ask Lexi to get back to you on it, okay?

And what's Rock Lee's journal name again? (herpderp)

[hachikuji]

Can I get Mayoi signed up for this?

[kingofwaste]

Of course!

[ctrlaltdemons]

I keep doing an awful job at remembering to get my characters to write to their pen pals, so... maybe taking one of them off would be a good idea. 8|;

Sooo in that case, can I pull Nagisa off the list? Atsuro and Hayate can stay on there though.

[kingofwaste]

That's cool. Should I put Atsuro and Hayate on the hassle lists?

[breezing]

Ikki updated Oswald on her status. >>;

[kingofwaste]

I saw! He is very proud to have such dedicated letter writers.

[cannotcrossdress]

I would love to sign up Chizuru! Ever since her father stopped returning her letters in canon, she's had an itch to practice letter-writing again!

[kingofwaste]

Gotcha!

[windandrain]

Saori would also sign up if she heard about it. She loves having chances to practice calligraphy, and new people are always good.

I could also see Susan Richards (shieldsup) signing up, mostly out of boredom and not having to clean up after the other Fantastic 4 since they aren't here wrecking the house.

[kingofwaste]

Saori and Susan are in!

[automailed]

Pretty sure Edward's partner was dropped last AC, not that either of them ever attempted contact |D; And as mentioned above, Asch and Grune are keeping in contact.

Also I think I should sign Billy up, it could be cute. :|a

[kingofwaste]

So Edward and Asch are in the clear... Billy's username is selfhelp, right? Would he be signed up as Billy Kaplan, or Wiccan?

[blackteriques]

Leon and Ayumu were paired up, and I talked to Griff about what they'd be up to; we're handwaving that they were good little Brigadiers and wrote to each other lest they earn Oswald's wrath.

As for Walter... He was paired with Utena, but I hadn't gotten in contact ICly or OOCly.

[kingofwaste]

Good, good! I'll ping Lexi just in case, to see if she had any plans for Utena.

[halfnhalf]

I think it'd be a good idea to have Teddy sign up for this. So count him in |Db

And what the heck, sign Luke (fabrecation) up too!

[kingofwaste]

Roger that! Both their last names are common knowledge, right?

[not_a_troll]

Loki loves to write really weird letters to everyone, so yes, I'll sign up c:

[kingofwaste]

Eeexcellent.
