STOP

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Hey. The email wouldn’t go away, so I logged into the network. I get it. I get what you’re trying to do and I already remember, but I don’t really do fan clubs, so you can stop now.

How do I go about unsubscribing from this little family?

Comments

[delicatefire.insanejournal.com]

This isn't about you. Really. And no unsubscribing. You're stuck with us.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

I'm not going to pretend I'm the center of it, but it's still about me at least a little bit.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

You can't. We've all fucking tried.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Who are you supposed to be?

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Never heard it called a fan club before. That's a good one.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Thanks. What do you normally call it?

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Hate to tell you, but the more you resist, the worse it gets. Welcome to the tribe.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah? How so?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Oh, sugar, I'm sorry but you're stuck here. But we're very friendly! Ask and you shall receive and all that. ;)

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Isn't free will a thing? Can't I just not log on, or will that create all those emails again?

[mr-bes.insanejournal.com]

Unfortunately, you can't unsubscribe from it. The emails will follow you. My name is Cal Hobson. It really isn't all that bad here. You're going to meet a lot of wonderful people.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Asher Caine. Good to meet you, Cal. I hope they're as wonderful as you seem to think they are.

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Do you really remember? Like, really and honestly and 100% remember? Because if you do, then things get way easier around here and we can skip all of the skirting around the truth and just drop it all on you. It saves time and we can get to the more fun stuff.

Oh, and I'm Javi, btw. Hanuman.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I really remember.

Asher Caine. I don't recognize your other name.

[blood-dog.insanejournal.com]

If we're a fan club, buddy, we're the kind that ends up with restraining orders. I'm just saying.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure if I should feel comforted or threatened by that.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

I'm afraid you don't, darling. But you're here for a reason, I can assure you of that much.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Oh? And what reason would that be?

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

Sorry, lad, you're stuck with us. It's not really a fan club, though, not that any of us who have them would complain!

Dorian Cyrus, mate. Or, if you've followed the news at all, Apollo.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

No offense, but I'm not too big on surprise forced friendships.

Asher Caine. ... You're really Apollo?

[tangledmaze.insanejournal.com]

I work with computers all the time. Unsubscribing won't help you here. Best thing you can do is find your group members and they'll get you up to speed.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

My 'group members?'

[ieter-amumon.insanejournal.com]

It doesn't really work like that, truth be told. Still, please feel free to make yourself at home.

Introductions, of course, are in order: Dr. Galen Oram, at your service.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Asher Caine. What's your specialty, doc?

[guardienne.insanejournal.com]

Hmm. Not an Egyptian. Pity that. But welcome anyway.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Thanks. Not an Egyptian, no, but close.

[acratophorus.insanejournal.com]

Heya, welcome. You get used to it after a while. Want a drink?

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Sure, yeah. Do you live in the area?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, hello there! Sorry, I know it can be a little jarring to go through the intro period.

I'm Amanda. Welcome to the group. Has anyone explained to you what this is yet?

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Jarring's a good word for it.

Amanda? Nice to meet you. I'm Asher Caine, and no. People have told me I can't escape it, but not what it is I can't escape.

[queen-of-purim.insanejournal.com]

Hello. So sorry about the rude awakening. We all had to deal with it.

I'm Hada Morgenstern. And, if I'm not muchly mistaken, you're with my group. Welcome.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

My awakening wasn't all that rude, but the group therapy thing isn't too welcome.

Asher Caine. What group is that, Hada?

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

Sorry, shug, the shitstorm's just starting. Y'all will be used to it soon enough.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Looking forward to it. Do I get a name with your optimism?

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Don't worry, the emails and printing will stop now that you're here.

Hi, I'm Alan Cleary. The kids like to call me Coach, or Big Al. I'm not picky. Glad to have you here.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

I didn't get any printing; the emails were bad enough. Damn.

Thanks. Asher Caine, and the kids just call me Asher or Ash. Why do they call you Coach?

[knavish-sprite.insanejournal.com]

Oho, another new face. Pray tell, who has come to join our numbers?

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Asher Caine. You?

[wind-of-heaven.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure some of our numbers have larger fan clubs than others, but this is hardly what I'd describe as one.

You are most encouraged to make yourself comfortable here, as we all have a certain amount of common ground. I'm Father Leo. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

It kind of is. Fan club of the forgotten, celebrating each other and being remembered and all of that.

Asher Caine. You're a priest, Leo?

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Oh, good, you remember yourself! That puts you a step ahead.

Hi! I'm Amber! Or Sif of the Norse, if you'd rather! Welcome to the group!

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

I do what I can.

Thanks, Amber. I'm Asher Caine. No Norse relation, but it's nice to meet you.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Quite simple. You don't. And there are seven groups, not just one. You'll be expected primarily to work with your own, but some things do involve all of us as a whole, including combat preparations. If your identity has been anonymous to date, count your blessings and try to keep your head down in the meantime.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

What are the seven? Is there any way to avoid working with my own group if my group is who I think?

Who are we fighting?

I'll try, but I've never really been too good at flying under the radar.

[womanontop.insanejournal.com]

Well unfortunately, you can't really unsubscribe to family. You're usually stuck with those. But we'll try to make it bearable, darling.

[ofcaesarea.insanejournal.com]

Hey, not all of them are related. But thanks.
