"I never thought I'd say this but..."
...it's time for a change. This journal is no longer a part of Theatrical Muse. Any role-play scenarios that Alex is still involved in will continue on at the wish of his rp companions.. but TM isn't role-play. Perhaps there is someone else who wants to give Krycek a voice in Theatrical Muse. Most of the pups that Alex role-plays with are non-TM anyway.
I'll be trimming away his friends list as well over the next little while since I'm not properly keeping up with that either, distracted as I am by other things.
It's been a fun three years. Thank you to all the people who have put so much effort into Theatrical Muse since I started writing there and to all the people who have interacted with Alex or complimented me on Alex's ficlets.
G'night, Carla Jane

[29 Dec 2006|06:53pm] |
There's a gift of mistletoe on my user page that says... "I'd like to throw you down on a rug and ride you hard."
Sukin syn, you're going to have to say something more precise than that... right now you could half the population of New York City.
*smirks*
Thank you

| What is your worst quality as a significant other? |
[29 Dec 2006|06:14pm] |
You mean I'm not a perfect 'significant other'? How surprising. Well, I suppose I'm just a little bit inconsistent.
It's not entirely my fault. There are times when my job is to blame. When I was younger it was hard to maintain a relationship because I wasn't always in the same country from month to month. When I did settle in one place it was because I was on an assignment... and it's difficult to form a healthy relationship with someone when I can't even tell him or her my real name.
Then again, maybe it's my lack of physical faithfulness. So many lovers seem to think if I'm having sex with them that I'm not supposed to screw anyone else. I could blame that on the primal male urge to spread one's seed as far and frequently as possible. Yes, I'm sterile, but that doesn't alter two million years of instinct.
Maybe it's my slight tendency toward being physically assertive and emotionally demanding. Is it my fault that when I push at them, my lovers don't always have the emotional or physical strength to push back. I won't actually kill my lovers' relatives or friends just because I"m pissed off and that particular threat happens to fall from my lips... well, not likely.
It has a little something to do with my short attention span, I admit that. Still, if the lover isn't interesting enough to hold my attention... how is that a bad quality on my part?
Okay, I suppose that my worst quality is that I'm Alex Krycek... but I can't change that.

As seems usual lately, the writer's weekend absence ran into Monday. Sorry kids. I'm hitting tags now. Two down, over a dozen to go when all the LJs are taken into account. Bear with me.
Also... it appears there is a lump of coal on Alex's user page from someone to shy to admit their fascination with Alex. At least it's coal and not Tunguska rock. He'll take that as a compliment. Thank you.

| Dance |
[05 Dec 2006|10:11am] |
I had a dance instructor when I was a child. She had very pointy shoes and someone else's hair. She taught me all the steps that I was expected to take on the dance floors at embassy functions. I learned. I didn't adore it, but I learned.
Nicki and Vasili taught me new dance steps, the sort of shimmy and turn that would entice a lover to fold back the sheets at the end of the performance. I put those moves to good use at a brothel in Paris, and other places. I liked the hunger they inspired but I've no desire to step up on a stage to show them off these days.
Along the way Marie tried to teach me to dance on ice. I wasn't half bad but it's not a skill I kept up. I'd likely slip if I tried again after all these years... well, if I tried anything more complex than simple turns. Those I could manage.
I never did learn proper night-club dancing. By the time I was in a country where that was expected of me I was already deep in learning the 'now you see me, now you don't' two-step from Smokey and his boys.
Out of all the dance steps I've learned in my life, that last one was the most useful. If I'm at a fancy party the women will compensate for me on the ballroom floor. They're in bright colours and swirly fabric because they're supposed to draw the attention. If someone really wants to bed me, a short wiggle before the main course is unimportant. No guys skate around here except to play hockey and as much as my brother loves the sport, I am uninterested. But the ability to take a few side-steps or maybe a twist that makes me vanish into the shadows or around a corner, that I use almost every day. Thanks Spender, you old bastard.

| And the moral of the story is... |
[08 Nov 2006|11:46pm] |
Once upon a time...
There was a boy who lost his sister.
There was a girl who lost her childhood.
There was a boy who lost his identity.
The boy was very upset and determined to make it right someday.
The girl was frightened and tried not to let anyone know how insecure she was.
The boy was confused and clung to whatever anchor was offered to him.
The boy grew up too fast as he tried to prove to the world that he was good enough.
The girl grew up too fast as she tried to prove to the men around her that she was valuable enough.
The boy grew up too fast as he tried to proved to his family that he was irreplaceable.
The boy found a cause and pursued it with single-minded determination.
The girl did whatever was asked of her and more, climbing high on her talents.
The boy didn't shy away from any assignment no matter how horrible it was and people began to whisper his name.
There was love(lust), hate and a wealth of misunderstandings between them. They all used and abused themselves, the people around them and each other along the way. Then they all hit the glass ceiling and fucked up, each in their own way. The moral of the story is... it fucking blows to be the second generation in a Consortium family.
Da, da, it's a sucky story. If you want a good story with a decent moral go read 'the cat that walked by himself'. I've always liked that one.

The Halloween/Samhain party thread is now up on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) cityneversleeps. You'll find it right here. <<---*points*
The special trick/treat of the party is that everyone attending will be asked to choose the age that they wish to appear for the evening. The change is purely cosmetic. It won't affect your pup's mind. No one is allowed to choose an age under 14 years of age. The spell is broken as soon as your pup leaves the party.
For background and the party rules... go here.
Guilty Pleasures/Circus of the Damned isn't a location many of you have played at before so...
for a description of the layout of Jean-claude's club and indoor amusement park... go here.
It's an open party. There may be muses from several different RP games attending. The event is pinned to October 31st as much as anything is ever pinned to a timeline around here. However, because of writer obligations and the expectation that this thread will be weeks before it completely shuts down... we're opening it early. Krycek's writer is around today and will be again Monday. Jean-claude's writer has a different scheduale. Dio will appear where it suits Dio's fancy, because he's special like that. *grins*

| Halloween/Samhain |
[25 Oct 2006|10:42am] |
In case any of you have ever wanted to play your pups at a different age than they already are just for one night:
Krycek and Jean Claude (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bloodwillout), a non-TM muse, will be hosting a Halloween/Samhain party. The posting will go up in
cityneversleeps... likely Sunday or Monday. Bendy time applies because I can't be on-line to host as much as I'd like to be so it might run a week or few. I'll post another announcement here when the entry is open.
You'll find details about the party if you follow this link.

| What keeps you up at night? |
[18 Oct 2006|09:24pm] |
A syringe full of green serum. Coffee. Work. Screaming, some real, maybe a bit of it imagined. I suppose when and how well I sleep depends on where I am and what's on the agenda. How about I give you a little of each?

| Samhain/Halloween |
[05 Oct 2006|09:33am] |
ooc/meta, of course, crossposted to Alex's home journal and T-Fen
For the last two years there's been a TM Samhain/Halloween party at the nightclub Luxuria. Hosted by Krycek and Caspian the first year, then last year by just Krycek. Well, Luxuria burned down in a role-play thread so there can't be a party there this year. Still, it's sort of a tradition, well, as much of a tradition as something only two years old can be.
So... Jean-Claude (bloodwillout) has offered the use of the New York version of the Circus/Guilty Pleasures for this year's party. That is where this year's party will happen and Jean-Claude will co-host with Krycek, a postition that I'm grateful he's taking up since Krycek's writer can't keep up with the job properly alone.

| ooc - heads up |
[03 Oct 2006|03:23pm] |
The Luxuria Halloween party can't be held at Luxuria any more, for obvious reasons. It's not realistic to say a new club has been built in three weeks so... another local businessman has offered his location for the 3rd annual Samhain festivities. It seems Halloween will be at the New York annex of the Circus/Guilty Pleasures. Thank you Jean-Claude. (http://bloodwillout.livejournal.com/) Dionysos has agreed to provide a different enchantment this year that will surely delight and amuse all you naughty little muses.
More information and relevant threads will follow.

[02 Oct 2006|01:42pm] |
Alex doesn't catch either of them at it, but he's pretty sure Mike and Callie are laughing at him. The thing is it's just easier to hook that stupid clippish-microphone thing around his ear and talk into nothingness than it is to keep holding the damned phone up. Nor does he want to pinned to the speaker phone in his office. Alex is pissed off and when he's pissed off he needs to keep moving or he'll start breaking things.

| Where Alex is... |
[25 Sep 2006|10:44am] |
OOC
Technically, Alex pup is now back in New York state. He came up for Sestra's wedding. He's still keeping a low profile and not drawing to much attention to himself.
Apparently, Luxuria needs some fixing up... and some new staff. Also, Callie's writer is still mostly out of touch so Alex, Mike and Callie settling back in is unwritten, just understood between the writers involved.
I'm not throwing myself back into RP. I've got a fair number of threads going already even though I meant to cut down. Still, I'm here... and so is Alex... oh, and he shaved before coming home too because he saw a few bits of gray. *laughs*
***edited***
Luxuria will not be rebuilt, sorry kids.

ooc: This is likely back-dated in the bendy thing that is Alex's TM timeline... but the kids are coming back to the city and what happens in this thread needs to have happened already. Or something like that.

| What are your thoughts on monogamy? |
[06 Sep 2006|08:58pm] |
Monogamy isn’t a word that stands by itself, not for me. Sure I know what it means, but I much prefer to deal with it when there’s a qualifier attached.
I’ve actually done monogamy in my own way… here and there. I committed myself to gender monogamy for a few years at one point in my life. There was just one guy that I CHOSE to have sex with. Of course I still chased women around, because it’s not like we were living together and I’ve got needs damn it. Massive needs. I only got to see him every couple of months at times. Waiting that long would have killed me, I swear.
Work didn’t count either. If having sex is part of the job I’m on… I screw whoever I have to. The difference is who I choose to have sex with and who I’m supposed to have sex with. The two things are completely different from one another. Most people don’t understand that.
I tried to do gender monogamy with a woman, but what I considered automatic exemptions, she didn’t. That stretch of major commitment didn’t last too long in the grand scheme of the world.
I think what I’ve drifted into is emotional monogamy now. I don’t ‘fall romantically in love’ with anyone but my chosen partners. That seems to be working. It still pisses my guy and my lady off, but they’re pretty damned understanding… which is just one of the reasons that I love the two of them so much.
Of course if the two of them chose to invest themselves completely into our triad and never go outside for physical encounters you wouldn’t see me complaining… but I can hardly demand that of them but it does make me frightfully happy that my guy doesn’t have the urge to mess around on us.

Sorry kids:
http://disanddat.livejournal.com/20880.html
Alex's typist is leaving town. Our company has been requested at the parents-in-laws house for the long weekend.
I just realized that means Alex doesn't get to play at that Tammy-party thing. Good thing that pig has Suzi and Frankie on stand-by. *shrugs* Alex is supposed to still be in Mexico anyway.
See you Tuesday.
CJ

It seems the Live Journal fairy has had a busy time of it lately.
I popped on to post some things I wrote long-hand yesterday... and in my mailbox I found an announcement that someone (who wishes to remain anonymous) had gifted Alex's journal with paid time. I suppose that means he has to keep mouthing off about his life that much longer. *smiles*
Thank you very much. I hope whatever it is he's done to entertain you... he continues to do it in the future.
Carla Jane,
the person who works the keyboard for Alex
