Yeah, that's pretty much it. There's so much more more to all of us than our online personas... I mean, there's more to Saya than feminism, more to Cuckoo than socialism, more to MC than porn, more to Jilly than anarchy (probably), and I'm not really down with parodying people in the same way as before. I reread the first few posts of the Zombapocalypse the other day and frankly, my treatment of Saya's character made me uncomfortable - even though it was pure joshing and she knew I didn't really mean any of it, I'd feel pretty grubby writing that kind of stuff nowadays. I think I'm turning into a hand-wringer... age is beginning to make me think that there's really precious little in the world that's genuinely funny without also being uncomfortable or mean in some way. Growing a social conscience is the goddamn death of that kind of juvenile fratboy comedy. I need a new thing.
Cuckoo: I can't imagine why you'd need a rocket-launcher when you can kill demons with yr bare hands, but if you've really got your heart set then maybe I'll see what I can do. (Also, there goes the hippie angle I had you down for. ;p )
MC, if being a hardass is your biggest wish, I think you'll be well satisfied with your part in all this. That background you're currently in? Short-term.
Oh and Sol - you have issues? Damn, your superpower was supposed to be what I always thought was your level-headed brand of super-sanity.
