Hey guys, before my laptop dies I wanted to give you a quick heads up— my power cord has completely stopped working. Since I'm running a Mac, that makes power cords ridiculously expensive! Now, I have a second one, and brilliantly left that stored with all of my stuff at my parent's house when I moved recently. So, as opposed to shelling out a ridiculous amount of money for a new one, I'm going to ask them to send it to me.
Downside is... yeah, I've got like fifteen minutes of power left on my computer. I'll try to hit the local library to log on once in a while, but I am most likely going to be absent over the next couple of days. Sorry for the suddenness, particularly to the people I was actively RPing with at the time. You can use your best judgement to assume what Ajunta, Yanni and Tima are doing to carry on without me.
I will hopefully see you all later!

Guh. I have a mac as well and have dealt with this a number of times. Mac cords are flimsy beasts but I don't think they're more expensive than windows. Though either way I know for a fact they're $65. Specifically because it's generally the part connecting to your laptop that's the problem, not the detachable part connecting to the wall. (which means if you can get someone to part with half their charge cable, it's that part you want dibs on)
Depending on how old your laptop is you can go to the mac store (preferably one with a genius bar/one actually run by apple and not just a weird... backwater compootur store since those ripped me off more than once) and tell them what happened. The first time it happened to me, my laptop was less than a year old and because of that I got a cord free. I forget if it was an insurance thing or just a Mac guarantee but the Mac store responds well to bitching anyways. Apple controls 10% of the population of computers, they don't really want you bitching about it, they want you to flaunt it. They even once wrote "We're only 10% but we're the top 10%" :B.....
Anyways (and sorry for ranting), good luck >u< Hope you get your cord soon.. If there's a long period without you around I'll make sure your character isn't eaten and doesn't starve.

Well, I'm actually using the older cord, not the newer one, and they're two different models, so I doubt the store would replace my older model cord for the newer computer. But good to know!
And as you can see, I am alive... the cord spontaneously decided to start working again... I don't quite trust it and am still waiting on my newer one to be mailed, but for now, I think I'm good?
