If you thought you were safe from more gorgeous samurai then you were wrong

[consiliarius]

Hey everyone! Rose here, a complete newbie, bringing in the (arguably) sanest member of the Hakuouki crew, that one canon of fictionalized historical samurai of the Shinsengumi who may or may not have turned into vampirewerewolfzombie hybrids.

Yeah, this guy didn't touch that crap. He fights demons with his spear and laughs in the face of danger I swear no part of that is a euphemism.

His name is Sanosuke Harada, otherwise known these days as Sano Asahara. He's a really nice guy, though underneath his kind exterior, he's just as confused and unsure of where his life is going as most other bachelors his age. Ironically enough, he's a marriage/relationship counsellor in the city and has a Masters in Psychology.

It's very possible he's going to be getting a lot of new clients here.

I can't wait to play with everyone! And if you guys want to keep in touch with me, I'm on AIM at ladyotrings (though I'm admittedly not on there as often as I used to be) or you are welcome to friend me on plurk, at LadyotRings (yes, I'm very original).

Also bear with me while I get this guy's icons sorted out.

oooh mister harada

can i touch your spear

[consiliarius]

well considering he's only got one right now...

no.

[professorwolf]

Hello hello! Welcome! I'm Gail, and I have an actual werewolf here who sorta-kinda mixed up with vamp mythology, too, actually... the sunlight thing and the undead thing, anyway! Right now, though, he's just a high school biology teacher with a really keen sense of smell and a mission to protect his students ^^

He also knows all your canonmates, as former students... XD So there's that.

I look forward to rping with you! :)

[consiliarius]

Hi Gail hiiiii! And eee, werewolves, I am very fond of werewolves, so that should be fun to see played out. XD

And I'd say Lyall can know Sano as a former student, too, but I don't know if he's been teaching for over ten years, ffff.

Either way, I am exciiite and can't wait to get out there!

[redelivers]

RUN. RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

[consiliarius]

BUT I JUST GOT HERE.

[deathcough]

ooh mr sano oohh

[consiliarius]

r u ok

[secondcomingof]

Casval just needs an all around life counselor, thank you. Seriously, a psychologist would have a field day with him... you know, assuming they could ever drag him into a chair.

Anyway, welcome to the game, enjoy your stay, blah blah blah. This game has turned so pretty and I could not be happier for it.

[consiliarius]

Sano's a strong...ish guy, he could do it. Cough.

And thank you! Every game needs pretty dead Asians by default

[argents]

hi i'm kou and i think i met you on liv's gigantic manpile plurk which is a pretty boss way to meet, honestly.

[redelivers]

...my gigantic manpile plurk.

:')

I like that. I really like that. I should make those a reoccurring thing.

[consiliarius]

Yes! It was a fantastic plurk and a fabulous way to meet, but it's also nice to meet officially this time.

HEE.

[espigeonage]

Hi Rose! I'm Joysweeper. I have a very social pigeon spy. He's currently neither pigeon nor spy, but Julien's very social! And also confused and aimless.

Shall they be friends? :D

[consiliarius]

Hi Joysweeper!

And yes, I heartily approve of friendships. Especially if Sano can wake up one day and see that said friend has gotten in touch with his feathery side.

Because that's not awkward at all.

[scramasax]

Ha~llow! I'm Blue, and I play Anthony - formerly from historically-inspired horror game Eternal Darkness and a messenger boy in the Holy Roman Empire turned zombie, himself, now docile and insistently upright high school freshman.

Welcome in, and I s'pose imagine how Sano should prepare for a growing client base of people turning into cyborgs and undead. XD

[consiliarius]

Heya, Blue! I have no idea what Anthony's canon is, but that definitely sounds fun. In a really strange way. XD

And goodness, Sano will be so overwhelmed, and then having to deal with his own (admittedly not as personally life-changing) issues on top of it all...

OOPS.

[northless]

WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS

anyway HI I am Effy, I play Robb Stark from that one canon where everyone you love dies in all sorts of gruesome ways (better known as A Song of Ice and Fire) and right now he is a college student under the name of Robb Smith! He's studying Film and is a part-time barista at Starbucks, among other things.

...also he keeps getting traumatized by his memories. SO HI, YOU HAVE ONE NEW CLIENT ALREADY.

[consiliarius]

YOU WERE TEMPORARILY BLINDED BY THE BISHOUNEN. It's okay, this is a normal side effect, don't panic.

And hi Effy! The only things I know about ASoIaF are literally feels from tumblr gifsets and the fact that Jon Snow is Ned Stark's bastard. That being said, I feel like I'd like Robb. I think. XD

AND WOO CLIENT!

[shiromadoushi]

Quiiite likely :D

I'm Fran, I play this guy from that one series about card games who's actually 3 guys named Bakura all wrapped up in one rather dysfunctional and not always stable package. A therapist who won't toss him into the nuthouse for talking about network/reincarnation stuff would be amazing for his mental well being :)

[consiliarius]

Hiiii Fran, it's good to meet you! Also, I think I'm one of the few 90s kids who never got into YGO (or whatever it's shortened to aksjgk), but I'll look forward to seeing what happens with this guy!

And hey, if Sano did throw him in the nuthouse, he'd at least try to make sure it'd be comfy inside.

[elfstoned]

oh thank god a therapist

dr. strider is not qualified to deal with this insanity

[consiliarius]

but will he hook Sano up with a shit ton of sleeping pills

because we might have to sedate half the population yeah that's totally legal what

[chalicejoker]

Hey there, I'm Airdra, and I play this Hajime, who is probably going to need therapy of some sort after learning he was originally an apocalyptic roach monster destined to try to destroy all life on Earth and a Kamen Rider...and he's too much of a workaholic to worry about those things called romantic relationships. |D Nice to meet you!

[consiliarius]

Hiii Airdra! And come to Sano's bosom, other Hajime, so he can teach you about the wonders of love.

...Wow, that did not come out the way I intended.

[wordsgate]

Hi Rose! I'm Haley and I play Sasame from Pretear. His reincarnation is Sam Iwata, a sophomore in college that's majoring in Psychology! =Db I think we might've talked anonymously somewhere?

[consiliarius]

Hi Haley! And we did, yes. I still look forward to any shenanigans they get up to in the future XD

[twopercent]

Welcome, welcome! =D

Well, there is actually one character here who probably was, a little reluctantly, signed up for marriage counseling (though if he ever went or not before shit hit the fan is up for debate): Jack here. But then again substance abuse with an incident of domestic violence on the side is actually the least of his problems.

Gosh I hope you enjoy playing a counselor in a game full of crazy people! =D

[consiliarius]

Jack, dearest, getting help for any of these things is a good thing. Does he have to bribe you with some candy on the side.

I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN OVER MY HEAD, but you know what? Go big or go home, I got this.
