Hello? Yes? Is this better?
Oh thank the vortex! Haha! I survived! Ten long and nasty years stuck in the same damned place, but NO LONGER!
...wait, you mean to tell me you don't recognize me? I, well, come to think of it, many of you look unfamiliar to me. Well, I suppose a change in the roster should be expected after so long. *sigh*
Do forgive me, my manners are a bit rusty. Ironic, as Thren used to be the more blunt one, but then again...
I am Agent Jaster. I was recruited in to the force circa 2004. Proudly serving the Continuum, I aided in the slaying of many Sues running amok. That is, until those awful years of college and real life and marriage, and - wait, none of those are relevant, are they?
Just give me a few minutes and I can find my way out of this accursed control room. Let me just tidy myself and...
Oh, but I must look atrocious, yes? Dear me, yes. Anyone have a razor? Nail-clippers? Deodorant?!
(Oh, but it is good to be back. Any oldies still lurking that remember little ol' me?) -

You... don't want any of these things back, do you? I may have to burn them. The taint of Sue is still strong on me, so I don't advise sharing with anyone else once I'm done with them.
And I cannot emphasize with enough italics how long it's been since I've had a PB&J, so thank you! :) -

To be honest, I switched profiles some time ago, and have only slowly been switching contacts over. It's a lot more political in nature, and a lot more… uh, open, about gender and suchlike. So I keep the old profile open to go back and look through friends' posts.

It was a combination of factors - this started out as my "professional" profile, when I was an editor for the college paper, then slowly became the college-friends profile, then the profile where I was out of the closet, then the other profile slowly atrophied, and I have been migrating contacts but slowly. There are people - family, mostly - where I have actively decided that for the sake of our relationship they will never be added, because I often find the knock-down drag-out political fights tiresome over time.
But, tl;dr, no, I have no problem adding you. : ) -

I think you were probably around when I joined, but it was so long ago I have no idea if we ever talked. Still, I know you by reputation as one of the sporkers of Honesah Hoononee Keemo. In fact, I was under the impression she'd driven agent!you 'round the twist. Glad to see that's no
longert the case.
Things have undoubtedly changed a lot since you were last here. Fortunately, some folks were smart enough to put together this handy FAQ: For Returnbies for just such occasions. I hope you find it helpful. Let us know if it isn't, and we'll try to make it better.
Welcome back! ^_^

Of course I remember you. Glad to see you around. And if my eyes don't deceive me, I spotted Huinesoron's name about as well.
Thank you for the FAQ; I wasn't even aware that this was a thing. Got it with a wave of nostalgia this week, which is what I think knocked me loose from that fic vortex of Time & Space*. I'll read up and see just how dated I really am.

Whatcha? Wotcha? How is that supposed to be spelled?
Yep, I'm still here - and I remember you! In fact, my jaw dropped when I saw your name, and I called to Kaitlyn (who, by the way, I married back in '08) 'Oh heck, Jaster's back!'.
She remembers you as 'that dude... with a girlfriend'. I remember you as 'that dude... who I think I made an icon for once'. But you are remembered.
Welcome back!

And a hearty congratulations to the two of you. I seem to remember a few LJ posts re: The Wedding, but I may be mistaken. I've even dropped from lurking on there for quite some time, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Threnody is no longer in the picture in the grander scheme of things, though whether she returns of her own accord is entirely up to her. I manage to find a ring on my finger all the same, however, in '09, so there's that. Oh, and a dog. Dog does things. Like conspire against me in my own household. Dog thinks he's a cat, but I know better.
And yes, I still have the icon, so thanks again. I shall treasure it always. :3 -

No, wait, that's something entirely different.
Congratulations! I too got hitched, in 2011. You might see Phobos around the Board sometimes, but he's not too talkative. ... Which is really weird to say, since the exact opposite is true in person: he talks, and I'm the quiet one. {X D
Amusingly, I have a cat that I have taught to sit and sometimes even stay, when he feels like it. Yay species-confused pets!

You and Phobos eh? (Congrats, btw!) His name I unfortunately cannot recall; was he one of the Ancient Ones along with you and I? Or is he an Agent-by-Proxy in marrying you? :P
And yes, I tend to be more talkative in prose myself. Of course, if I'm comfy enough with you, I don't mind blabbing. Perhaps too much... >_> -

Yeah, LJ's pretty quiet these days (though I started posting again this year ^_^); these things happen.
Congratulations right back (also: haha, beat you). Yeah, I know a dog who thinks she's a cat... o'course, she was raised with two cats to alternately glare at her and bolt past her, so it's hardly surprising. (She also has an overwhelming hatred of motorbikes...)

What kind of world is this that dogs are cats and cats are dogs? Did I step back into the right dimension?
An Aside: This is feeling more and more like a high school reunion... and, to be perfectly honest, that's not too far off the mark (for me, anyway).
A good thing, really. I've been feeling pretty nostalgic recently, and also frustrated with my writing skills. Will definitely want to practice, and what better way to do that + take out frustration by killing Sues and correcting canon? -

It's your character's article, after all, and there's not much there at the moment.
And actually, hS hasn't touched that one. Looking at the page history, it was created by Tawaki (a.k.a. Korora), then edited at various times by JulyFlame (who created the wiki in the first place), Calista (a.k.a. Chaoticidealism), and me. ... I do a lot of wiki'ing. So does hS, but he hasn't done all of it. {= )

People of Plort, beware. Once the barons get ideas of becoming kings or queens, tyranny is short to follow.
Also, hello! You would have no reason what so ever to remember me, as I joined in 2013 or so. 2012? My, how time has flown. Should you stick around, you'll find me as that guy who never writes anything, promises to write everything, rambles about ponies, and occasionally posts sharks.
Since you are a returnbie, you surly know that I shall give you a gift. So, as an Ancient One, I give you a hobble-stick. It summons dogs. -
