OOC INTRO ( JUNE )

OOC INTRO: JUNE

State of the Game
...now, now. Don't look at us like that. We know that at least some of you were happy to see the end of Bliss.

Welcome, new arrivals, and hello again to the oldcomers! May sure was a busy month for all of us, wasn't it? Between exploring an island, fighting some sentient plants, and killing a god, you islanders have been awfully busy. The island of Ziziphus won't be around for much longer, we're sorry to say - but we still do recommend that newcomers read up on said island on either the locations page or its introduction post, so they have some context for 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 June 4th. 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!

2. AC. As of last month, we've officially switched to the ACSavior tool! This means that, while we no longer require that you tag your characters in the comms to have your AC counted, we strongly recommend it for housekeeping purposes! Characters who fail AC will be swept. We will also be following up with players who are getting consistent strikes or regularly passing with the bare minimum. 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; it helps us out a lot!

3. Setting Changes. As we mentioned earlier, Ziziphus won't be around for very much longer - the god that lived there certainly lived there, to a very, er, "in-depth" extent. For those who were with us back in December, you'll be seeing a very familiar shape on the horizon, come this month's intro...

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of June - 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.

i'm really happy to be here. Please enjoy my Thomas the Tank Engine Meme Tag from my tumblr.
Character: Yellowfang | taxusbacatta
Permissions: Yellowfang's Permissions she has a weird cat power
Tell us about them: Yellowfang is a cranky old cat whose job in her Clan is basically a mash-up of field medic and priest. She's a steadfast follower of her Cat Religion and very knowledgeable when it comes to bullshit wild remedies for made-up illnesses like greencough. Got a broken leg? PUT SOME SPIDERWEB ON THAT SHIT!!!!! Let her teach you the ways of StarClan, filthy Twolegs.
Current plans: i dont even know I'm just jumpin in with both feet to see what happens
Anything else:

[catpiper]

oh my god, ren loves and adores and would freaking die for a cat please. she's gonna give her food and blankets and just Love Her. so much.

[taxusbacatta]

omg bless her heart Ren is gonna have a hard time getting Yellowfang to trust her but SO IS EVERYBODY. We'll see what happens but I AM SORRY @ REN IN ADVANCE SHES A MEAN OLD LADY

[catpiper]

god, ren won't even care if she's cranky that's fine bc cats are perfect!!! she'll WORK SO HARD TO EARN THIS CAT'S TRUST!!! she is a kitty expert. she hung out with apocalypse cats!! she will not heckin give up until she gets a purr.

so prepare to be loved?? so loved lil yellowfang.

[lightlessfuture]

the knight is immune to people being cranky and old at them and are also kinda lowkey fascinated with Doctoring so theyre gonna help you whether you like it or not

[taxusbacatta]

SHE MAY TRY AND EAT THE BUG. BUT ALSO. Would like to teach. It is her weakness.

[lightlessfuture]

IT'S....HONESTLY NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE'S TRIED TO EAT THEM BUT THEY WILL GLADLY MOVE PAST THAT STAGE OF MEETING HER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, they will be a very eager apprentice if that helps!!

[ichininyaanshi]

im... so sorry I also have a boy who is obsessed with cats and will either die for Yellowfang or have his godly perception of cats shattered forever? I welcome both to be honest, or just pee on his leg he deserves it

also hello!! Welcome to the game! I'm Angel, one of your mods; Zero and I had an Amazing time processing your app, having been devoted readers of the Warriors series wayyy back in the day. What a fun blast of nostalgia. I hope you have a great stay here!

[taxusbacatta]

if they fuse, the island is going to sink into the ocean to purge itself from what it has created

[promiselisting]

God they must have added the whole physical empathy thing after I stopped reading regularly...

Also my nostalgia demands that I attempt to get some kind of CR here. I mean Futaba already talks to a (sort of) cat all the time???? She'd probably take it more in stride. Aster/Xion has an actual cat named Thalassa. And Tataru would probably be interested in the bullshit cat remedies because she's a noncombatant and questionable for exploring so she compensates by taking an interest in everything else and I do mean everything.

[taxusbacatta]

You only find out about it in Yellowfang's Secret, the super edition. She NEVER MENTIONS IT in the first arc of the story so I can totally understand people being like ?????

ANd yes! Bring them on!

[savedbyasong]

Adding another kid who loves cats (well animals in general) he also is a medic sort of

But yes I am sure we can throw them together at some point. Welcome to the game!

[taxusbacatta]

Maybe they can trade healer tips once Yellowfang settles in! And thank you! Everyone has been so kind to me!

[notglitching]

Cats are one of about five user-world animals Rinzler has actually cared enough to learn. (He considers them security subroutines that clearly exist to manage local "bugs". Rats and mice being larger bugs.)

Anyways, I don't know how they'd get along, but I'd be very interested in throwing my murderbot towards Yellowfang! Y/N/Shenanigans?

[taxusbacatta]

Rats are TOTALLY bugs!

I'm happy to play with anyone you'd like to toss at her!

[hyperlit]

i cant wait for this cat to break the brains of every single one of my folks. thank you. thank you for this. this app was a trip back down memory lane and i'm still dying over fucking. she's a nun with a rifle under her robes. thats the most accurate thing ive ever heard.

[taxusbacatta]

HAHA THANKS! And I look forward to playing with all of them!

[solperierat]

Chip, after being sassed by grandma cat: I'm Adopting You

[taxusbacatta]

[demonpuppy]

[tenthstreetbred]
