Nestled in a lodge on the shores of Lake Tahoe.

Nice bit of skiing today. Rhonda sure looks cute in that pink snowsuit. And I can't wait to join her in the hot tub, where Speedos are most optional. Just waiting for her to get through her mirror exercises, which she started five hours ago.

Why are we here again? Oh, yeah, the show! I like the money-saving tactics like bringing in houseguests' mothers and former HGs. Now we need to start hauling in reality retreads from elsewhere.

*calls office*

Yeah, do we have Amber's number anywhere?

I draw the line at Janice Dickinson.

ADMINISTRIVIA:

To spur the dialogue even further, THE ONE CHARACTER TO A CUSTOMER RULE IS WAIVED. If you'd like to play someone else in addition to your character, let me know in the signup thread.

We still need a Christie (she unfortunately had to bow out), a Melinda, and a Jessica, for three. Also, the Universe seems to be off in her own.

Remember to use your sigs, or at least sign off as your characters.

If you want to join in as a RECURRING character, please sign up in the signup thread before posting. That's where you'll find your sigs also.

Remember, if you're unable to post as your character for a time, just send me a note to that effect. Otherwise, I can only assume you're uninterested, which isn't fair to someone who might want to play. (TJ and Jodi are still around, but have to post less frequently.)

Inanimate objects who wish to change to unclaimed HGs may do so in the signup thread. But we welcome new ones of those too (and they've been hilarious!).

Do NOT post as a character that's been claimed. Thanks.

You can post as ad hoc, one-time characters WITHOUT signing up. If you intend to reuse your character, please do sign up . . . thanks!

And HAVE FUN!

Non-players: THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD. Discussion-type posts may be removed. BUT . . . You may address or ask questions of the role-players as their characters.

E-mail or PM me with any problems.
