My apologies. I grew distracted earlier, and have not yet answered questions. But I will soon. I think I will first tell you of my adventures lately. Slightly unrelated to the topic of this blog, but fun nonetheless.
As I said before, we were split into the two teams. The trolls have tried to accommodate us by shifting their classes toward more Earth-based versions, creating an odd combination of both that I’m not quite sure satisfied anyone. But isn’t that the heart of compromise, ensuring no-one is fully satisfied at the cost of the other party? Kanaya designed all of the costumes wonderfully.
Karkat has named his team “The Beat Down Brigade”. Apparently his sympathies have shifted and he is quite determined to, as he said, beat us down. Likely in brigade fashion, I’d assume. As a result of this loss of apathy, it seems that Dave has become quite determined to sabotage him in such a subtle fashion that it would almost seem as if he were actually enjoying playing his role. The Mayor remains an enigma, though currently a quite dapper one. Karkat has chosen to be a Threshecutioner. If I didn’t know Kanaya better, I would believe the similarity in design to a jockey was a shot at his height. But dear Kanaya would never do that, would she? The Mayor has become his own custom class, Mayor. I look forward to seeing what abilities this may include, if any. And lastly, Dave. Dave…Dave. I’m not sure why he requested that the robe for his Healer class be so short. But he has. In addition, He currently has a habit of healing at the most useless times, though he defends it, saying it is merely part of his character. He allegedly has terrible a.i., and to act otherwise would tarnish the integrity of the FLARP. It makes me worry, that Karkat will not survive this FLARP, not from enemies but from a brain aneurysm from a marathon of ranting.
This brings us to my own team. We decided to go with a more conventional system of naming, titling ourselves “Team Class”. I believe it’s suitable, considering the characters we are attempting to portray. I must complain again that Terezi is far, far too much in character already. She is beginning to scare Kanaya and I. But I’m getting off topic. Terezi, of course, is reprising her favorite role as the Neophyte. I myself was given the suggestion of playing the Fatal Femme class, a role I have settled into with ease. Now Kanaya’s class requires some…explanation. Kanaya was hesitant to merely emulate her ancestor as Terezi is, and wished for an original class as the others seemed to be doing. I, completely jokingly, began to describe cheerleaders as if they were an important support class. It turned out Kanaya adored this idea, and took it for herself - she now applies buffs through cheering.
Perhaps I will write about my experiences in more depth in the future. For now, enjoy these illustrations of our classes. Now back to work for me.

I am deeply sorry my curious dreamers. I was misinformed, during these two weeks for “training” I am not allowed online at all on weekdays. Allegedly, I am risking asphixiation by noose just by posting this. I know she’s simply in character, but Pyrope can be rather terrifying as a leader. I feel rather bad about keeping some of you waiting, but I will attend to my submissions as soon as time allows. For now, beware, my dear followers, of the blind leading the blonde.
