Well, everyone tells me I'm a cartoon character.
What you didn't know is that "ita" is actually a series of 13 year old boys at a private school in Michigan.
I knew it!
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Having actually interacted with 13 year old boys on the internet (I staff a public chat help service), I can assure you that ita is not one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As one ages out of 8th grade, a new one takes over.
Exactly. And the actress knows Colin.
Anyway, I do agree that there are more unlikely real people here, and that other people have actually met all of them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The thing about Gus was, yeah, his backstory was kind of incredible. But then, so is ita's (Jamaican daughter of a research scientist, can kill you with her pinky, old friend of CFerg?). Or Jilli's (would *you* believe in her if you hadn't seen her?). Or Jon B.'s (silver. pleather. thereminist. actuary. in a White Castle commercial).
Yeah, but I've met ita, Jilli and Jon B. (And Colin, for that matter, who quite cheerfully vouched for ita's existance and overall awesomeness.)

ION, I still didn't really feel like eating it, but I make a damn fine meat sauce.

I've met Jon B., but not Jessica. (Blue-haired BBC documentarian?) Yeah, the elusiveness was an issue, but I believe in Rick V., even if he's a rare poster and I don't think anyone's met him.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hee. Wallybee says the same thing about me. (More precisely, that living with me is like living with an overgrown cartoon character. And her nickname for me is 'Pangzi', which is Chinese for 'Fatty McFatfat Fatterson, King Fatty of Fattown.' She tells me it's a term of endearment.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, there's no proving anything now. But I can say I believe everyone here is who they say they are, and that they're within inches of any stated height. Gus is the only poster I've ever doubted, and that was before he died. Or whatever.
And Fast Eddie really doesn't help. It avalanches.

Our wings are not tired.
That Gus thing is weirdcakes.
Why does Annalee's name sound so familiar, DavidS and P-C? Is it the KFOG host?
ETA: Nebbermind, I know of her through Writers with Drinks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But I can say I believe everyone here is who they say they are, and that they're within inches of any stated height.
I'm actually 4' 11".
Um, on my knees. Or something.
