OOC INTRO ( JANUARY )

OOC INTRO: JANUARY

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! In December, the island of Chol made its debut, bringing with it dire hints as to the state of LifeAftr for the duration of January. We heavily encourage newcomers to read up on the specifics of Chol as linked above, as this will be relevant in the intro log. We've loved the feedback we've gotten about the game thus far, positive and negative, and encourage you to contact us whenever you feel it is necessary!

Our intro log will be going up on the comms on January 5th. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Deaths. Remember that, in the event that your character perishes, to let us know so that we can take a note of it, whether or not it counts for your character's total death count! If you're having trouble thinking of a penalty, we can definitely provide one for you. Remember to use the Deaths page for Death Penalty removal as well, once that time is up! An event in the latter half of January will come with a high risk of death, meaning that the span of time for death penalties will be significantly reduced

2. AC. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people to tag their characters in the comms. This is the only compulsory form of AC we have, but after the first few months, we are going to stop warning people for forgetting to tag their character. Characters who fail AC will be swept. An additional reminder, also, to make use of the drop post should your time with LifeAftr come at an end instead of simply idling out!

3. Additional goodies. Newcomes showed up with some extra treats in their knapsacks, to better prepare them for the cold and dark days ahead. This should have been noted in everyone's acceptance notices! Please let us know if, for some reason or another, you didn't receive these particular goods.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of January - for new players to introduce themselves, for old players to meet and greet, and for general plotting to occur! If you want to chat or keep up with game updates, we also have both a plurk and a discord channel!

Go ahead and use the template below if you haven't introduced yourself already!

Say Hello With This Handy Dandy Template!

<b>Player:</b> <b>Contact:</b> Plurk, Discord, whatever it is you use, as well as if you mind if people add you! <b>Tell us about yourself:</b> Timezones? Preferred pronouns? Favorite dank memes? We’re all ears! <b>Character:</b> Character name and journal here! <b>Permissions:</b> If you have any permissions posts for character interactions or powers, here would be a good place to list them! <b>Tell us about them:</b> Nothing too fancy is required, but here's where you can list things like permissions posts and inventories, as well as a brief introduction/overview of your character and how they're adjusting to LifeAftr. <b>Current plans:</b> Looking for positive/negative CR? Been up to any exploration? Need to get out more? Remember that forming groups is the best way, ICly and OOCly, to start getting CR and affecting the setting! <b>Anything else:</b> You’re just going to use this section to post an awful gif, aren’t you. Well have at it, you shitposters.

Player: Zero
Contact: arrpee, zero#8942 on discord; feel free to add!
Tell us about yourself: One of your mods, they/them, PST! I'm at work for most of the day but am a pro at phone tagging
Character: Tim Wright (postictal) from Marble Hornets, The Drifter (hyperlit) from Hyper Light Drifter, and Gabe Goodman (ungrieved) from Next to Normal
Permissions: TIM | DRIFTER | GABE
Tell us about them:

TIM is CRAU'd in from sol_raveh which means he hangs around a lot with fellow solumni Chara and Frisk. He's kind of surly and kind of grumbly, but his heart's in the right place and like it or not he's forming attachments the longer he sticks around.

THE DRIFTER is a silent, blue-skinned wanderer suffering from an incurable illness. They primarily communicate via text and sign language. While their (fragile, dying) heart is in the right place for the most part, their bluntness and direct nature can sometimes make them off-putting.

GABE is a very horrible boy, a dramatic baby who somehow keeps finding ways to be intensely jealous and lashy-outy at people for seemingly no reason. He's equal parts bitter and charming, intuitive and deeply irrational, and above all? He is completely and utterly childish. Please call him the fuck out. It gives me life.

Current plans:

TIM, this month, is working on building some shit and, potentially, organizing shit. As of his most recent post, he has about 20 flare guns - newbies or oldbies who want a means of signalling emergency help can handwave or thread out getting one from him if you want!

THE DRIFTER is finally realizing that Oh Shit They've Gotten Attached to people and are ready to walk through hell and back for them. That being said, they're still learning the meaning of uh fucking teamwork so there might be a lot of "runs off to do thing on their own and promptly gets their 5 HP-ass ass kicked" during January.......so thats Good

GABE is gonna get his ass whupped. He is still under the impression that he's this immortal shitbaby who only exists as an idealogical construct of repressed mourning, and this is ding dong wrong. I'd like him to wake the fuck up and realize he needs to learn some basic life skills, which is definitely going to happen this month lol

Anything else:

[unpurify]

I think it's useless at this point to ask why you keep making me look at this with my own eyes.

But I would like more CR with Tim and the Drifter! Come teach the Batter dank memes and how to be friendly. Maybe.

[hyperlit]

i cant believe the batter was like "lets watch a rainbow together" thats the gaYEST FUCKING THING, BATTER

but also. yes. yes please and thanks

[unpurify]

Do not tempt me Zero or I will ship it.

But the upcoming event will probably be a good place if you want the Drifter to meet the Batter's Add-Ons :D And Tim needs to explain more about memes because he walked away from that conversation thinking Timmy is a weird man.

[catpiper]

Now I need CR with all three of your characters

at all times

incredible

[hyperlit]

BECAUSE REN IS WONDERFUL AND MORE LEXY THREADS IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS GOOD. ALWAYS.

i love this. ren ur getting so many uncles

[catpiper]

MAYBE YOU ARE WONDERFUL AND SO IS DRIFTYBEAN/TIM/GABE POWER TRIO GOD!!!

i don't have any definite plans as usual i'm sorry i'm gonna wing it all your way when the time comes. But I do want Ren to try and show Tim some hiding spots?? And also keep teaching Gabe about cats?? Maybe play dumb games with him?? And also more cute shit with Drifter, as usual. Hurt me in the best way please.

[demonpuppy]

I want more Drifter and Ed CR!!!!!! Team-up during the Night Of Death maybe?

[hyperlit]

THEY'LL PROBABLY NEED IT TBH they're not used to uh. working with other people??? like in theory they're on board with it but in practice they're used to just running off and doing fuck shit on their own and getting their ass owned sO HELP THEM EDWARD WAN KENOBI YOURE THEIR ONLY HO

[demonpuppy]

HILARIOUSLY ED DOES THAT A LOT TOO but he's also very good at watching One Person's Back so no worries my man 8|b

[alittleditty]

tbph I Tataru and Tim's CR is that kind of awkwardly endearing that you just... can't help but love and boy I can't help but love it.

more please

[postictal]

SAME TBH

i've been meaning to hit you up actually because tIM HAS....PLANS....THAT HE MIGHT ASK FOR TATARU'S HELP ON because she's probably better at logistics than he is lol

he's trying to work on making Communal things for people so we'll see how that pans out after the ETERNAL NIGHT FIASCO

[attheclocktower]

She'd be more than happy to help with that, I think. She's had some similar ideas I think, but they've been much more long-term. But it was part of why she was trying to get an idea of the overall food stocks/sources in the game.

[ichininyaanshi]

[ishotyouuu]

I NEED MORE THREADS WITH U BB

Wade and Tim need to have some Conversations and the Drifter is a precious bean that I definitely need more of omg ;;

[postictal]

YES PLEASE. invite Drifter over for dinner. Seriously they’ll come and bring cloak candies for tibs

Tim is ready to be awkward about everything related to wade Wilson forever let’s do it

[yallstupid]

BARRING THAT HIDEOUS IMAGE, I would really love more of Guzma and the Drifter. They're such sweeties and Guzma freaking adores them, man. He's all but adopted them as a part of the somewhat reforming Team Skull in LA (and you'll understand better when I have another favor to burn, durhurhur... 8D) and would do an actual murder for them, easy. He's still worried about their health, too, DON'T THINK HE'S FORGOTTEN THAT.

But yeah, please Do Not Die, Drifter. Guzma would be...really freaking upset by that. I also want more threads with them and Ammy. Same with her and Tim, too. THE BOY NEEDS A GOOD DOG FRIEND. ♥

Gabe was hilarious to troll, too. LIKE HECK, MAN, I JUST WANT MORE CR, YOU CHARACTERS ARE ALL GREAT.

[postictal]

WELL I NEED MORE ROXY CR ALWAYS, SO THERE!!!

invite the drifter over for dinner, they'd absolutely come and hang with guzma and luna

also they wanna worship the doggo

also also we need tim and guzma to test the pokemon alarm systeM WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO ROXY!!!!!!
