DEAR NORFINBURY

Hello, everyone. Welcome to "Dear Norfinbury," an advice column created by yours truly. Got a burning question you want a second opinion on? Need advice for a situation or problem? Having relationship troubles that you could use some help ironing out?

You've come to the right place here! This forum has been created to allow people to solicit advice from the general populace of Norfinbury for any and all questions you might have!

But wait, you say. You have questions, but you don't want to attach your name to them. How can you safely post and have discussions when there's no anonymous function on these tablets?

That's where I come in!

Simply send your submission and any subsequent responses you want to keep anonymous to @standardissue, and I will post them for you here, removing any mention of your name. You have my word that I will keep your confidence, on my SOLDIER honor! Try to be courteous to each other, but know that I won't alter any responses beyond the requirements of anonymity.



[OOC: Okay, so here's how this works! Anyone who wants to submit something to the column can reply to the SUBMISSIONS thread. The Submissions thread is public, just helps separate the genuine requests from everything else that will no doubt get posted here. If you want a submission or a reply to be ANONYMOUS, please mark it as such in your subject line. Just to be clear, though, any and all "anonymous" submissions have to pass through Kunsel's hands. That part can be handwaved, so you guys don't necessarily need MY involvement to tag back and forth. I promise he will dutifully reproduce every word that gets sent, minus the poster's name. Just keep in mind that Kunsel technically is involved in every anonymous posting, and that all anonymous posts will appear to be sent by @standardissue.

Also, he won't step in and cut off any anonymous threads unless I'm either specifically asked, or unless things escalate wildly. E.g. if you think your character is going to start sending anonymous death threats, Kunsel might object to posting that. Mostly, I don't want to interfere with threads if I can at all avoid it, but use your judgment here and contact me if you think it should come to that. o/ I am available through PM or through plurk at nivisecond.

Of course, I'm under no illusions as to how well this whole idea is going to go off. If this whole thing goes up in flames and never actually gets around to any advice, it will come as no surprise. :3

Just have fun with it, everyone!]

I will. [ A pause. ] Be sure to the dump the kid before.

[hangfire]

The kid goes where he fucking wants. He's not my damn responsibility.

[darkincrement]

Looks to me like you adopted. Congrats.

[hangfire]

Fuck off. You fucking think I want extra baggage like this?

[darkincrement]

You could dump the kid on anyone. Why haven't you?

[hangfire]

I've tried.

[It's not a lie. But it's not the truth, either. Because leaving a damn kid behind to die isn't something he can do with a good conscience, and said kid will not stray from him?????]

Spirits, why the hell do you even care?? I don't care who else is in the fucking room, I will still beat you senseless.

[darkincrement]

Then I'll put an end to your problem.

[ Would Lutha let the kid get killed? ]

Then we'll see how much you really care.

[hangfire]

[Is that a threat? That sounds like a threat. Cold, man, but it's not much different than what he's spitting already.]

Forget it. It's not his damn fight unless he gets in the fucking way.

[darkincrement]

[ He's going to laugh because Lutha. ]

Fine. It's a date then.

[hangfire]

[GOOD. FINE. BYE????]
