The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

((Hey guys, just wanna say that I’m gonna be on a semi-hiatus. I really need to study for some exams coming up, so I won’t be very active on here for a bit. I’ll get to the replies I have waiting for me, but it may not be until a little while until they’re out. I’ll get to them as soon as I can! Love you guys!!)

Another new face, huh? But this one... she seemed more likable than most of the other ones. This seemed like a very upbeat, positive character, which Tara wasn’t particularly fond of sometimes, except that this person’s spirit seemed to raise her own a bit.
“You look very nice, like you couldn’t hurt a fly.”

Wait a second… This face looked terribly suspicious; that gaze only heightened that feeling. Did this being possibly work for the Devil? She could only assume so. With a face like that… She had a feeling she was in for a bad time.
“I can already tell that I’m not going to trust you.”

She hovered there for several seconds. How was one supposed to converse with a robot? It confounded her to a degree that surprised her. However, she decided that she would try her best anyway.
“So... where are you from?”
Well, that was a start, at least.

Beppi’s optimism softened Tara’s smile slightly, but a hint of sadness came into her eyes. “You’re sweet, but I did sing in Inkwell before. I lived in Isle 3 because I was in Stageplay’s musicals. I also did some acting for her before I was... well, I shouldn’t have t’ finish the sentence.”

((Sound attack, no pun intended, sounds awesome! In my eyes, I imagine it would be the ability to manipulate sound to your advantage, being able to make silent entrances and control sounds around others to drive them insane... Or maybe you just have a really loud attack, who knows XD
Anyways, I’m good with telekinesis, but magic seems wonderful ^^))

Her smile widens momentarily at the bow. She just loves theatrical movements...
“Tara Terror’s the name. I’m... just a ghost. I can sing, though. I used to do it professionally before...” she gestured to her ghostly form. “...this. It ain’t easy finding roles in this state, y’know?”
