Well, now there really is a Starman waiting for us out there. He already blew our minds.

Oh wow...such sad news. Every girl I knew back in the 80s had a crush on this guy, including me. I still remember watching Labyrinth for the first time at a slumber party and you could practically see the little cartoon hearts floating above the head of every girl in the room.
I'm not usually affected by celebrity deaths all that much but these last two have hit kinda hard

I got this album in the mail yesterday only to read the news this morning. I'm a sadder person today.

Saevitia's profile and appearance! [Gone NORTH]
Now playing Esméralda, Saevitia's former helmswoman and moralistic Campaigner; she looks like this.
I'm usually up for RP. Social actions are generally accepted; those with in-character RP invitations are most likely to be reciprocated.

That was some terrible news to wake up to this morning. I always admired him deeply, he was the first musician I became a fan of in my youth. Now I'm sadly humming Bowie tunes all day.

Nice little tribute to him in FL today, same as when Pratchett died. I like that a little outfit like Failbetter can add little personal touches like that.

(Since he was and now truly is a Starman Failbetter, is there something in the FL game you can add for us to remember him by like was done for Jack Vance?)
Goodbye David Bowie. I weep for you, and through me, so Does Snow Belie too.
No musical Tributes from me, no Novelty songs, just my tears and my love of The Man who Sold the World! (Take that Masters!)
May you truly shine upon us Above.

I'm fond of saying that, at any given moment, a nonzero percentage of my brain is dedicated to thinking of Bowie's 1995 album Outside. I even named my Pirate Poet Ramona in honour of one of that story's villains. Well, Ramona will be flying the black flag upside-down in mourning for one who has sailed into the High Wilderness.

Somehow.... after spending all day listening to the music, and everyone's recollections... I was through my day of mourning.... and then I noticed the Bowie quote on FL.... and my mourning began anew

If anyone's interested, the video game David worked on, Omikron: The Nomad Soul, is now free in the Square Enix Store, for a limited time. Play it. It's wonderfully, nostalgically Bowie-esque.
