Hullo, hope you're enjoying PokePaw September!

I haven't done a real RP-focused post in a while, and I don't want to be as verbose as usual. What I do want to say is that Pokemorph Paradise is going pretty strong, we've got people RPing pretty much every day. We've had a new app approval this week and another person joined the Discord, so we're still growing.

Ultimately, one of the (many) reasons I picked up drawing in the first place was to just spread awareness of this place and to draw the people within this little RP world, so I'm glad we're making a bit of a name for ourselves. But always looking for more RPers!

Well, speaking of RP, I guess there is something I should bring up. I haven't really known the best way to broach the subject, since making a public 'statement' feels very cheesy, and I don't even really know how many people outside of Paradise really care.

But in any case, a few weeks ago, Sam and Dacre broke up. The IC reason is that Sam saw his Evil Ex in public, had a little crisis, and realized that much to his dismay he wasn't over this person who mistreated him, and needed to be single again to reconcile it. I'm not really going to go into the OOC reasons here, only to say that I was the one who initiated it, Dacre's player isn't to blame, he's a good person, and I'm glad he was in my life for the almost-year they were together.

So yeah, my main is single again, but I guess I want to keep it that way for a while. He's got plenty of stuff going on anyway, wrapped up in, well, basically several murder-related plots, befriending everybody in the city, and just generally living his life, so he'll be all right, I don't think he'll be lonely.

Brunn, my Ursaring, is doing really well honestly, probably the best he's ever done. He now has TWO friends (in addition to Barson, his mate of like... IDK like over two years now? It's been a while), which I think just shows his general growth in trying to be more personable and to just enjoy life more, now that he has something to live for. His and Barson's tea-and-book shop will open by the end of the year, and I have a little surprise in store before then...

Due to a bunch of reasons and some long, long OOC talks that I am soooo not getting into here, I kinda shelved Rin, my Pangoro, for a while to let the dust settle. But now that things have calmed down, returning to that angry little panda man is growing increasingly more appealing, so I suspect I'll be inhabiting that skin before long.

And Tess, poor Tess, how I need to do something with her. I'm sorry, playing girls is hard! She did at least help her bandmates with a housewarming event, and a player on the MUSH is working on an application to play their drummer, so I think she'll have more stuff to do once the summer heat dies down.

So hey, that's a wrap. ... Did I just say I didn't want to be verbose, and then wrote like a dozen paragraphs?

Anyway, Colour Wars on Paradise this month, and then I'll be hosting a barbeque IC at the end of the month. Jack will be there! He always shows up for barbeque events.

Take care loves. As ever, feel free to ask any questions you like about my characters or about just like MUSHing/RP in general.
