all quiet on the home front?

It's been quiet lately, hasn't it? Could the war be drawing to a close? Or could I have already slept through the climax and the denouement?

Don't bet on it. Queen C called C4 out publicly, which led to C4 closing her forum to the public. You can still see it at http://z10.invisionfree.com/Neo_RP_Gate. Rflan, formerly B, revealed his true colors when he chose diner reservations over his potentially dying "best friend." Surprisingly, it was the ever-entertaining OS who saved the day by calling Rflan's grandparents and asking about the going-away party to celebrate Rflan moving in with his girlfriend C4. Is it just a rumor, or is he really in love with her?

Stay tuned to see how it pans out.

princess disappeared?

Isn't this interesting. I just received the following email, courtesy of one very pissed-off demon prince:

I got home to find that my sweet Bride has dissappeared. Empath, nephew, angel, and anyone else with power and a bond, try to feel her out. Spies and fluffy pink girl, see what information you can find. The rest of you, stay the fuck out of my way.

Is it the same person or group of people who's been targeting the forums? Who's brave enough to stick around and find out? Most importantly, what's D going to do when he finds the person who kidnapped his wife?

suicides, fauxlebrities, and transvestites

Things have certainly taken a dark turn here. Princess C has attempted suicide, yet again. Twenty mara say it's over a guy. While her husband, D, was able to save her (again), it's clear she has no idea who he is. Did he fabricate their whole marriage? Or is Princess C just copying A? Her memory's usually too strong to be lost for long, so if she is faking it, we'll see the slip in a couple of days. I know, it's an eternity, isn't it, my kittens? Let's hope she remembers how to use a computer...

In other news, a new rising star is trying to make her fame online. Careful, G. The higher you climb, the longer the fall. Her songs all seem to follow the theme of betrayal among friends. Is Miss Indifferent secretly a member of the Fabuli, or is it just a coincidence?

Sightings:

• LF putting out an ad on Craigslist for "anti-talent actors." I wonder what's in the script?
• G buying a brilliantly yellow maternity blouse. Is it for herself or for her cousin?
• E singing karaoke at Toons in Downtown San Jose, wearing black leather short shorts with a hot pink seam and a pale pink wig. In all that black leather, was he trying to copy Jeffree Star, or is he just a trashy Marluxia-wannabe?
• B on a bus in Downtown San Jose, with a cute pink-haired transvestite on his arm. Wonder who that could be?
• Princess C looking sadly at a gigantic blue and silver pendant around her neck. Thinking of pawning it for rent money?
• LF taking his new panda cub, Mookie, for a walk and being cute and annoying all over the place. Grow up, will you?
• U taking LF's other cub, Gregory, for a walk. Also being cute and annoying all over the place.
• U and LF taking bets on a little fight between the cubs. Aww.
• OS slipping something in Princess C's mead. A roofie?
• G calling C4 and playing nice to her mother over the phone. I didn't know you could fake an American accent. Or is it the Hungarian accent that's fake?

Keep watching, my kittens. Things are just about to get interesting.

no one does it better

It's been a long-standing theory of mine that there's no better way to get to know somebody than to peek in on them when they think nobody's watching. Bloggers who don't actually expect anybody to read their posts sometimes give out the best information of all, while those of us who are posturing for a bigger crowd tend to slip up or overpasteurize our work. I put myself in a middle category: Those of us who are interested in finding out the truth at any cost. I protect my identity and the true names of my blogees so they can't sue me for slander, but everybody in the circle knows who I'm talking about, and those who don't aren't paying very close attention. SAM must not be paying very close attention, because he seems to have no idea what I'm talking about. That's not surprising, because he seems to be a newcomer to the world of blogging in general, and as far as I'm concerned, he's just jumping on the C4 vs. Princess C bandwagon. Half the time, he doesn't even seem to know what he's supposed to be talking about, or he wouldn't be so vague. There's a difference between being vague to protect your sources and talking just to make yourself heard when you have no idea what you're talking about.

There's another new blogger in town. That's right, kittens, E is for Emotea, writer of Emotea World. He seems to know what he's doing, anyway. It's risky to put your diary online, as Princess C learned last year, but if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear. Is Emotea being fearless or foolish?

Only time will tell, and you know I'll be the first (accurate) one on the case.

deliberate reactions

It seems Princess C has delved even farther into her alcoholism. I received an email from a reliable source saying that today, she stayed up until 5:00 in the morning drinking strong mead and trying to fill out job applications. My guess is that she hates the thought that C4 can do something she can't. Two things, if you include driving. Another source has told me that she ate an entire loaf of pepper jack in three days, the same amount of time it's taken her to drain that bottle of mead. When you're allergic to chili oil and you know that alcohol thins your blood sugar, it's natural to assume that you want to kill yourself. Don't do it, dearie, because then I'd have to find another subject to blog about, and the only other person who comes close to being as fun is Daughter H. What's this I hear about her trailing a "green-haired lesbian" through a local mall? What will Mrs. H do when she finds out that her daughter may be offering the love that dare not speak its name? Who is that girl she was following? I have a definite suspicion, but no confirmations.

Sightings:

• Princess C buying a new pair of jeans and grabbing a job application from Van Heusen. Getting too fat for your old ones?
• B getting in a snowball fight at his family's cabin. At least he wasn't at Lido Night Club stalking his ex.
• LF vomiting what appeared to be half his stomach lining in Downtown San Jose.
• LF vomiting the other half of his stomach lining in Downtown Campbell.
• LF vomiting his esophagal lining in Santa Clara. I'd say he was bulimic if there had been sightings of him eating anything. Drunkorexic, perhaps?
• Princess C buying a new acoustic guitar from a mall in Milpitas. Did she go because she knew it would be safe, with B out of the neighborhood, or because she's finally wized up to the fact that her boy toys won't buy it for her if she keeps pushing them away?
• Princess C and her hacker friend having lunch at an upscale sushi restaurant. Could they be the ones sabotaging Gate? If so, why would they also destroy her site? A red herring, or is she innocent?
• E furtively scribbling in a journal in a mall in Milpitas. What was he doing at that particular mall? Or was he just after a new pair of skinny jeans?
• U catching a red-eye midnight flight to San Jose Airport. Finally back from his extended vacation, or looking to meet up with the boy who has a crush on him? On a side note, I think it would be fun to see him and E meet. They'd either get into a bitch fight or sit around soaking up each others' fabulousness.
• Miss Hades crying her eyes out because nobody would take her calls. Aww. That's what happens when people find out you spread rumors about them. That's why I never get caught.
• Princess C reading New Moon on the train ride back from Milpitas. We knew you read Stephanie Meyer, but we didn't know you'd let yourself be seen reading her in public. Guilty pleasure, or are you only doing it to update your blog with commentary? Better finish typing the scribbles in the first book, before moving on too far...
• E doing body shots at Lido. Looks like B's rubbed off on you a little bit.

Keep up the good work, my kittens. I'll be watching.

new players or innocent passersby?

Who are these newcomers, you may ask? For the purpose of this blog, I'll call them E and Daughter H. They're the native New Yorkers who happened to appear in California just about the same time things were getting dull. E's own blog says that the H family vacations here every winter. Eccentric choice, Mrs. H, or was this a choice made by the mysterious Mr. H? I thought New Yorkers vacationed in the summer, in the Hamptons.

E is a drag queen who seems to be going after the heart of our very own B. Watch out, E. There's a reason Princess C and LF left him. Daughter H seems to be looking for a good time and an escape from her notoriously tyrannical mother. Is it just us, or does her story sound like C4's?

In light of the recent copycat, I forgot to update you on two very important matters:

1. B seems to have been hunting after LF. Lost love getting you down, B? The Priestess seems jumpy about him, and she's not one easily worried.
2. A seems to have lost her memory. Is she slowly gaining it back at random intervals, or is this all a test to see how much the Fabuli remember about her? Why do most of the returned memories seem to have to do with LF?

Now you know, and you'll know more when I do.

happy thanksgiving

Let me tell you what I'm thankful for, my kittens:

• Whoever did this and deleted this site of strife. If only they could do the same thing to Neo RP Gate, they'd have my eternal love and gratitude. The non-roleplay sections were flushed and so was the member list, but the same people keep re-registering. When will they give up? Or are they so devoted to C4 that they never will?
• Our rival blog being dreadfully misinformed, with bad spelling to boot. Just a cheap imitation, or a smoke screen for bigger things to come?
• Princess C is finally feeling well enough to update her blog. In between her commentary about America's favorite drivel, she might let us know something useful about her intentions. After all, who better a source than the gossipee herself?
• A new player has joined the game. Has he done it intentionally, or was he roped in like the rest of us?
• My lovely sources, who have given me all the information I could ask for and more this holiday season.
• All of you, for trusting me to keep you informed.
  

Remember to send your tips to zeusgavemehermes@gmail.com . Is that my email address? Heavens, no. It's the address of my favorite informant. Until later,

Happy hunting, my dears.
