The Introduction Thread

[Róisín]

I'm in country South Australia, where the reptiles are just part of the landscape. I like it, though not everyone does!

[laiska]

Antares: Welcome! I'm actually part of my school's acting program (though I'm retiring from that based on people and time), and I have lizards too! Little fat leopard geckos. I feel silly for having to look up a viola, but I think it's really cool you play! I don't play any instruments, so mad respect from me. I live in Northern Idaho, so there is no escaping the cold here! Most of us are surprisingly used to it (people are still wearing shorts in the snow, myself included).

[Antares]

Nice, laiska! Do you act, primarily? And yeah I understand, even tech can be super tiring. I used to have a leopard gecko- they're super great.
Also, I'm just super not used to these new england winters because I just moved from the west coast

[laiska]

Yeah, I do act! I haven't gotten to try the tech, but it looks pretty darn cool. A past friend gave us ours (we were only supposed to watch them for a month or so, but we ended up having to keep them). Where on the west coast did you come from? Before moving here I lived in Virginia, and all I can remember winter wise was that it was always really rainy 

[refract3d]

I have to say, I love how many people here have reptiles! I'm pretty new to gecko ownership but my roommate has a ton and they are all Very Good.
Do we have a thread for that? It might be cool to post setups etc.

Also, theater stuff! I've been working at a haunted house the last couple years and am hoping to find a community theater to do costuming/tech for. I haven't done that in a very long time but have been told that cosplay experience counts for a lot

[Róisín]

We have cosplay threads, both on the main board and the general board (for non-SSSS cosplay). Excellent work too.

Welcome, Antares!

Hello and welcome to the forum Antares  

[Antares]

Thanks for the welcomes!! refract3d; Costuming is super cool and I’m jealous of you folks who can do it ^u^ I’m just a lowly techie who can operate a screwdriver and a spotlight, but not much else. I used to live in Washington state, laiska! Which is also rainy but not as rainy as US media will have you believe.

[Iceea]

Welcome Antares, and New England usually isn't as cold as it is today. But it can be damp so the cold can really zap ya'. If you like costuming and cosplay be sure to check out Anime Boston, New England's biggest con. Well worth a visit if that's your thing.

Hi,
I discovered the comic a few weeks ago and got hooked by the prologue: Everyday people behaving like everyday people in the face of the apocalypse. I read the comic mainly as some kind of parody that also works as an adventure story if you don't notice the parody - quite similar to the beginning of the hobbit, actually. (I did not get the irony of the hobbit when I first read it as at the age of eleven but took it seriously.) The main story also seems like everyday people facing an adventure that seems a bit too big for them, but until

Spoiler: show

Tuuri's death

they seem to have managed. I love it that the treasure they are hunting is books and that the damsel in distress they have rescued is a kitten.

(And now I will go over to the comic board and look for a speculation thread.)

[Róisín]

Susanna, hello and welcome! You will find speculation about all manner of things. Have fun!

[susanna]

Thanks a lot!
