Life has been quite hectic for the past couple of months; which means I haven't really been active on Popo... Not to mention on here. Magali, Dahlia, and Cosmo (+ Ozzie and Nilo) are my only characters now that I killed the others, and I must say I feel less guilty when I disappear for a while, now...
Truth is, Ege is dying, and Laura is M.I.A, so, apart from the dozen of blogs I wrote, Dahlia is perfectly inactive. I'm still hoping Ege will be back (Guten tag ppm, we miss you <3), but I can't say I have much hope. Seems like Nilo will be a little orphan like Dahl, Søren and Remus were... At least I'm used to rp-ing them. :D If I wasn't so busy/unconvinced, I'd probably give The Great Heist a try with NiloDanilo, but the beta version didn't leave me such an amazing impression that I want to waste time learning new rules... Plus Nilo's headed to be a lively and colorful bud — If he survives until then, he'll probably play an easy(er) genre like African Music, or Flamenco or even Reggae... Maybe with Mr. Zizi, if I haven't given him up for adoption like I had first planned... As for Magali, Matthieu is quite absent as well, which means Mag's life is on a hiatus now. I took the time to write a few blogs about Saoirse turning 16 and Sinan 12 (and about Matt+Mag's 32nd anniversary!), but nothing much going on there either. In fact, Cosmo's the only one with a life, but that's basically two friends (I'm soooo sorry Jude, Cosmo will get back on track eventually, but all I can do right now is send a few lines in between two RL tasks :/) and a sleepy bandmate. I might have all of my characters back on the road eventually (Dahl has a billion songs ready), I just need a little more organization that I'm able to provide as of now. I also need to finally buy those 10 missing clubs, so that Cosmo and Stuart can finally hit the road in my chain, with my label, and bring food on the table. :3 To be honest, I sometimes miss Prune, but then I remember that all of her friends are either zombies (Art? Tris? Trista? Theo?) or dead (Greg? Nico? Rach?), and I don't miss her that much anymore. It just felt good having a character that was rocking her musical genre, y'know? Instead of just being a useless piece of url... :D Anyway. That's all, folks. If you read this I love you, if you didn't read this... your loss. Best, Maï

I didn't do it on a whim. I know I didn't give you much notice (except for Prune, maybe, but that's because I needed to find a new translator before I made her disappear), but everything was well-thought, and considered. I killed my beloved characters, and I don't feel sorry about it. Here's why:
After 2352 days as Prune (That's 6 years and 5 months, you guys!), I realized how much my life had changed since I first played Popmundo 8 years ago, and decided that now was a good time to tell her goodbye. The Engels were asleep, and well, leaving before they had a chance to wake up was the best thing to do... Both players know how to trick me into having too much fun to actually do what should be done, haha. Tristan and Arthur, you guys made me laugh so hard; I probably would've turned emo if not for you. :D I'm ETERNALLY GRATEFUL Prune met you. Trista Buchanan, Kia Landini, Rachel Rodman, same for you girlies, you rock(ed)! Théo Delaplace, chouchou d'amour de ma Prunette, Prune aurait fait bien des bêtises sans toi ! Now, I know I did the right thing, and although I'm sad I can't be a French translator anymore, I'm more than happy Jörgen Thorstensson got to replace me, because that lunatic is the best person for the job. <3 @ALL: thank you for the luv. Killing Søren was MUCH harder than I would've expected. I always had a hard time rp-ing with him, and Daltry Staller has been his only friend for the longest time. But he was my awkward, introvert little puppet, and I loved exploring that part of myself. I'm not as socially awkward as Søren was, but he totally made me realize some things about myself.... (Crap, am I being emotional now? Engels! I need you now! :P) Then Søren met Shauna Rees, and a romance almost happened. I'm sorry I got to drop things high and dry; it was a real pleasure. @D's puppeteer: thank you for having put up with me for what...4 years? You're the first person I tried narrative with, and I had a BLAST. I'll miss writing emo blogs for my little Ø, and I'll miss having our boys--- men, hanging out together! Remus has always been my 2nd favorite character (after Prune). He was everything I wasn't and I loved it. Gay but in a relationship with a woman, boisterous, confident as hell, he was a real trickster, a real stoner, and he could rap like a God... I loved rping him for 5 years. And I loved every person I rp-ed him with. From the Galtier family (seriously, if you come back dude, I SWEAR I bring back Prune!) to Kayleigh (and Diamond)'s puppeteer, I had a bunch of fun and I'm glad it ended on a happy note. I'm also glad I entered the Engels family thanks to Rem. Again, you guys made these 6 years an hilarious and emotional journey! So, thank you! <3 @everyone: If you come to L.A, hit me up. I'd be happy to be your guide for a day! Love, Maï I know I suck for:
1. not giving any news 2. not answering messages 3. giving up on some rps I loved 4. ruining my characters' artistic career 5. having wanted to kill my chars recently. But I swear this is not just a whim! Since I moved here, LIFE IS CRAZY. I get to meet a ton of people, I try to visit as many places as I can, I have a ton of work (ok, I party a lot too), and I'm actively looking for an internship... which means Popmundo is #46527456 on my top priority list. Since writing is also a big part of my RL, I need to save some of my time and brain cells if I actually want to make the most of these few years here. Plus the Devs got crazy with their Great Heist game and I stopped counting the number of times I logged in hoping to write a blog, or answer a message, and ended up on the lang admins page trying to figure out how to make "mo'money" not sound ridiculous in French. I hope the seven people I rp with can bear with me, and I hope the few that might still want to start a rp with me can understand why this is not against them; I'm just a busy bee with other things in mind that a 2D page and golden bars. Love you still! Mucho mucho <3 Some of you probably know I am moving to Los Angeles in a few weeks. It's a huge change, and besides feeling nervous (and excited!) as hell, I'm also terribly busy with everything such a moving implies. Visa, suitcases, translating things, printing things, buying things, I just don't know what my brain is up to these days but it's definitely running on autopilot. I'll be back eventually, but this is such a huge change, I will need time to figure out my life there (as in finding a proper place, a proper mobile package, internet supplier, bank, wifi spot, proper friends, you name it...). So I'd like to apologize to the few of you who still are expecting me to reply quickly, yes, you, the incorrigible optimists, please bear with me, and don't lose faith, you're like 2 people anyway, so this won't take as long as one could fear. :D
Now the chars? Prune is pretending her hair got burnt since Arthur replaced her on stage and almost went bald (dear Lord!), so she's currently wearing one of those wigs that makes her look like a Hairspray character. Lovely! (In case you're wondering, yes, I have so little things to say about her that her looks is all I can think of! Hurray to being a fucked up role-player, yay! ;)) Dark Star is in the top 5 (MR) again, but this's no surprise, right? Magali is... still mourning Christopher. Still in love with Matt. Having fun with Everett. Karma Waltzes's getting higher in the charts (#30!) but I still ain't able to make them reach the top 10, which sucks. They'll get there soon, hopefully! The kids're alright, I wish I could rp a little more with/about them before they become teenagers, but ahem, let's not make promises. Dahlia thought she was pregnant, wasn't, realised Ege would have liked her to, freaked out, and finally pulled herself together. She is joining Søren soon (as a composer for now), leaving Moscow and the temple, and buying a new apartment for herself and Eggs. Change-change-change! She's the one I'm gonna miss the most while I'm gone; that girl rocks. Søren is touring. Soon joined by Dahl. Sad he's gonna leave Shauna when he quits the French Cancan Tour, but well, it was just platonic anyway. I guess they can keep "not flirting" on the phone. ;) Remus is touring soon too! Like.. right before I leave. Elemenopee's my favourite band project, so I hope he can make it big, despite being a solo act. Also, Kayleigh and him are getting hitched soon too, but we'll keep you posted. Hehehehe. Bonnie and Lee broke up. She's a total mess. And since her friends are mostly Lee's, she's currently convinced she has nobody but herself in the world. Which is going to be useful while I'm away, but she'll come back, eventually. Just don't expect her to be the same anymore. Having her dating around was my first plan before she met Lee (and his awesome puppetmistress! ;3), though, so she'll probably just be a bit more of what I had in mind, and a bit less of the sweet Bonlee. THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! I'll try to keep you posted. (and just so you know, even if my chars were to die when I'm gone, I'd sell a lung to pay for their come back. ...Ok I wouldn't. But who cares! They won't die. <3) My family tree's so cute I might fall in love with my chars and never wake up. (ok, not with crazy Prupru. She's insane.)
Talking about Prune, the band's still going up and down the charts, their best rank so far being #2 MR. Hopefully they'll get into the WiW before she turns 25 again. (Please?) She's still madly in love with Art (madly being the key word here), and she's still taking all of my time since she's the official French translator/party pooper. Though she has been such a pain these days, I think the DEVs hate me, eh. I adore her still, so if you feel like spicing up her life, COME AND SAY HI. Magali has fallen into a deep depression, the moments on stage being the only time when she's not thinking about Chris's demise. Which of course makes her feel guilty; how can she be so selfish when she has such a lovely family..? => The puppeteer behind the Patersons has decided not to wake them up again (not that I'm surprised, you selfish cow! *pouts*), and I'm not sure how Magali will recover from that. Christopher was her bff since she was maybe 12, and it really sucks when the person she would have called in such a situation is now unable to take the call. *sniffles* Now Dahlia! She's still in Moscow, still living a life she hasn't exactly chosen, still happy with Ege. His proposal has made her think over her life though, so a huge change might be coming up. Soon...ish. :3 Søren is... totally inactive. I mean he's touring, but the rp is basically reduced to... nought. I'm really sorry. Please bear with him/me, we'll come back someday, I SWEAR. Remus's finally getting into the music business in a few weeks. I can't wait!!! Elemenopee could become my favourite band of the 4, if I don't mess up. Rem's still inactive rp-wise, but Kay is still around, and that's all he needs (for now!). Bonnie has just turned 16 (already! *sobs*), and is now enjoying her life with Lee, discovering the perks of living on her own, of having a band (Girl Gang) and songs to rehearse, so I don't have much to say, except that she's the most active of my chars at the moment. Which doesn't mean that she's really active, only that you can expect no less than 2 messages/week if you're nice and I like you. ...I know, I know, I'm too kind. :D Anyway, sorry to those of you who think I suck, and screw you to the other ones, because you're just a bunch of hypocrites. <3 Hehehe. Jk, I wuv you.
![]() THREE WORDS: I'M SORRY. I wish Prune was a bit more than a ghost vaguely trying to translate stuff when she's not lazying in her jet, forgetting the band needs to record songs sometimes, and the crew needs cash. I wish hanging out with Magali was fun again, I wish Matt could have a proper gf and Saoirse a proper mother. I wish people could count on Dahl, and I could finally hold on to that damn narrative roleplay thanks to which she finally MET someone (seeing how active I am, she might turn 30 before things go the way we want them to go). I wish I could write some more blogs for Soren (my baby's going on touuur!). And Remus could finally say what he lacked the courage to say until now; before some big mistake is made (HE'S GONNA GET HITCHED, HAHA.), I wish Bonnie's friends didn't have to wait for days to finally get an answer, IF they get one, and the people she meets didn't have to wait until the bar turns gold before she even says Hi. I wish I weren't a zombie; but that's what I am, and I'm sorry. PS. I'm almost done with the damn thesis, if everything goes the way it has to, I'll be a post-graduate by October. PPS. Buuuut I'm still working from Monday to Sunday (yup), which means I can log in only a few times a day (night?) and that usually doesn't mean I can reply to all of you. Things will go back to normal by 2015. PPPS: although that's also when I'm planning to move out -as in "goodbye le France"- so... nothing's for sure. Please bear with us all? *puppy eyes everyone -prune/magali/bonnie's way-* Before you say anything, I know, I suck. Most my chars aren't even able to answer their messages in a shorter span than a week, or two, or even three, and I haven't given anyone a reason to show some patience. But as much as I'd like to put an end to this slowness, I can't. What's with my chars then? Well...
Prune is alive, rocking with her (not so) new band, still fearing her bandmates though, and lacking the time to be a proper leader (she's still less sleepy than the other two, haha)! She also needs to find a new french translator now that Jörg is gone, and that quest basically takes up all of her time. Idle hours? She has none. Magali is a heartbroken, mother of one, chain of clubs owner, yet she still hasn't figured how to deal with 1) old songs 2) a new bandmate. I guess that's still beyond anything I had planned to rp with her, so that's already great. Dahl fancies a guy who's almost twice her age. She's still wasting her time in Moscow, still working as a priestess, still the char I wish I could take further but I can't. Hopefully by the time she turns 25 we'll know what to do with her. Søren, now? Well, Sør just got inked, contemplates becoming a touring musician real soon, skips class... And wonders why Dahl seems so absent-minded these days. Poooor naive kid. Remus's monkey's dead. He might spend the next months weeping. Good for me! And I have this new char, Bonnie Karban, 12 year-old-redhead. Enjoys punk rock, her bass guitar, and Nail In A Coffin. Very cute, very useless. As for myself I am... beyond tired. I've just been accepted to an (AMAZING) internship, which means I'll be working from monday to sunday for the next 6 months. Which means my offish-ness won't get better with time. Which means I'm sorry, but I'm sure you guys understand. (you do, right?) Mwah.
