It's not like I forgot or anything, it was...er...that the Delibird was late! Yeah, that was it!
*shifty eyes*
*bows*
All right, I overlooked that detail in all the excitement that you were back; I'm sorry! But look, there's the Delibird right now.

*You look at the direction where SOH176 is pointing. In the distance, you see a Delibird flying in your direction.*

And no, the Delibird is not your present this time, so no warnings from me.

*The Delibird lands and looks around in its tail/pouch for your present.
Out of its tail, it pulls out a plushie of Pyrus Apollonir the Charmander. To the untrained eye, it's just a normal Charmander, but you can tell that it's Apollonir from the never-say-die lok on its face.*

Happy (belated) birthday, Outhra!

I've been gone a while too, but I'm back now too! May not be as frequent as I used to be, but at least I am here! I am sure the others will fill you in better then I could.

I do have one question for you though. I was gone from the Board when the season 4 finale aired. What did you think about it? I thought Tirek was cool, though a little to Gary Stu-ie for my tastes. And that new castle of Twilight's...Ew. That is horrid. I mean, the Crystal Empire at least has some class, this new crystal tree house of friendship is just gaudy. I have more to say on the finale, and season four in general, but I have to head out. I do look forward to your thoughts on it, and if you want, I would be happy to talk about how awesome this season was.

I'm sure someone's said it already, but all this summer's missions are listed on our lovely wiki for your reading pleasure.

Also, happy birthday! *hugs* I don't know what you like, exactly, but I figure a $20 Starbucks gift card is a pretty good present regardless. (When in doubt, give gift cards, right?)

Hope things are settling down for you.

Happy birthday!

We've missed you so muuuuuuuch!

Welcome back, and happy birthday! Here, have a virtual stuffed boa constrictor and a ton of grape-flavored candy!

That's a lot of exclamation points.

Um, well, further down the page, there's an announcement for the beginning of the Official Fanfiction University of Homestuck, if you're interested.

In other news, though, *showers Outhra with purple streamers and packing peanuts*

-Aila

*ahem*
Well, chapter 10 of Lost Luster is up, and chapters 11 through 13 are on Google Drive. If you're up to resuming betaing, please tell me and I'll send you the link. Just know that there will now be a total of three betas at this point, including you: PoorCynic and eatpraylove have agreed to help me in your absence.

As for PPC-related stuff, I remember that Iximaz put up another HP sporking, and there's a goodfic thread further down the page.

Welcome back! You have no idea how much you've been missed.

Happy Birthday:P
I missed you when yoou were gone. You always have something interesting to say.

Well, JulyFlame is back from her Navy training and will be dropping in evey now and then, so that's pretty big.

All new missions are up on the Wiki's main page, so read away.

Oh yeah, there's a TF2 strategy thread further down the Board if you're interested.

As a gift, have a short film!
