Hey all. I've seen this place mentioned around for a while now and finally googled it. Figured I might as well join.
I enjoy both reading and writing DC/MK fic, though I tend to prefer the Magic Kaito side of things. Because reasons. Sparkly magic powers. I've written a few things here and there, which are also under this username. (I chose it when I was thirteen and it stuck, I'm not changing it after thirteen years except when it's already taken.)
Fun fact: I was in a motorcycle crash a few weeks back? It was on the first of August. So if anyone wants to pick my brain for that info, just speak up. There are a fair amount of characters who ride, after all. And hey, I took a class earlier this year so I've got basic riding info in general to share as well. I'm no expert, but I can provide a viewpoint to those who can't afford to learn. I only could because my dad wants to go on rides with me.
Also it's past midnight for me and I got hit with a cold to add insult to injury, but I'll try to stay... I cannot find the word I'm looking for. Welp.
Coherent! I'll try to stay coherent. No promises though.
I'm also pretty much tablet/phone bound because my computer is a butt. So don't expect me to be fast. It's why my roleplay blogs have stagnated.

Welcome to the Café! I hope that crash didn't leave you with serious injuries D: Nah. Just made my right thumb all sore and useless, gave me a few bruises (including one on my left leg that got about as big as my face), and gave me a lump where the sun don't shine. I dented Sonoko's fuel tank with my body. (She's a Suzuki Savage. If I ever manage to upgrade to a Harley, it'll be Heiji due to the dub name.) But yeah, more annoyances than anything. Took away my flexibility for a bit and I don't think I can handle cards proper quite yet, but I'll live. I'm also not going to be walking for long distances anytime soon. Body gave out on me a bit last Friday at a mall with friends. One of them had to get me an electric cart. I also have missed out on some work because I had to start putting Magic cards in tiny zip lock bags that my thumb couldn't handle opening without making me want to cry, but I'm being paid for that by the other person's insurance. They're also paying for me having gone to a doctor because my work insisted I go. So all in all, I got off pretty lucky. No broken bones or anything, and I managed to stand up right after the crash. Please watch for motorcycles.

Welcome to the forum!
I was a motorcyclist too before I moved to a city with some of the worst traffic in the world. And seeing as I wasn't quite ready to die I sold Vice. She was a Kawasaki Ninja and I loved her dearly even if I accidentally dropped her once. When I eventually move, because I will, I'm getting a Yamaha R6 and at the moment I'm considering naming it Crisis. ('It' because I feel like bikes don't get a gender till someone owns them.)
Did you have to pick up Sonoko after your crash? Because that's sort of terrible even when you aren't injured. And is she still rideable? Also what's the background on the card comments? Is that something you do for work or are you a collector or player? Or you could not tell me too. Internet anonymity and all that.
Sorry. I may have started my morning with too much caffeine.

I wasn't the one to pick her up after the crash, some emergency responder got her in neutral and did that for me. I was barely good enough at the time to walk to the curb and lie down. Sitting up was not a thing I could do for long periods until sometime after I was released from the ambulance. I haven't felt up to riding since the crash since I still have a bit of a lump that burns occasionally and I have a tendency to push her more than I let her pull me when around stop signs and the like. Which hurts right now. My dad rode her though and she seems mostly okay. Something about her wanting to snub out while stopped, but that could also be due to not being used much since the crash. I dont know much about these things but am repeating what my dad told me. We're gonna keep her though because I don't wanna try finding a new bike for the less than a thousand dollars that they'd give me for her.
The card comment is related to a lot of things. I've got a job at a local game store sorting cards, so work got more difficult. I also like to play assorted card games. From Pokémon to Red Dragon Inn to classic stuff with standard cards. I also like randomly shuffling them at times, and even figured out a really simple trick on my own based on things I learned as a kid. Cards have always been a big part of my life.
Also I was at a convention this weekend helping run registration and stuffing stuff that hardly fit into other things made my hand want to cry, even with using the super special brace of a friend with far more health issues than I.
I hope you're able to move sooner rather than later though, if you have to refrain from riding due to traffic. That sounds highly annoying.

'round here ^_^ Pretty sure I found your AO3 account one night while I was bored and I've been going through one of your series, spamming kudos and the occasional comment. (Checked the works and recognized the current contest entry.)
