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.

Player: r
Contact: flyingthesky+#0332 for disco. i'm always on yellow, because it's on my phone.
Tell us about yourself: PST (-8GMT), it or she. I did not prepare a meme so you get this instead.
Character: Connor Murphy (yourattention)
Permissions: Connor | Damianos
They're for content and not, like. Powers? Also yes, I'm aware one is fancy and one isn't I DID NOT FINISH UPGRADING DAMEN'S BEFORE THIS WENT UP.

Tell us about them:

CONNOR is from the 2016 Tony Awards darling Dear Evan Hansen. By pure virtue of Connor's existence, I'm about to spoil you for it: Connor Murphy is the Laura Palmer. He's made up of memes and weed and sometimes quotes song lyrics as legitimate answers when people ask him questions. It's fine, don't worry about it.

DAMIANOS, also known as Damen, is . . . you know how puppies are really stupid, but you don't want to be mean to them because they're little pure cinnamon rolls? That. Damen is that, except he's Buff and also six feet tall and knows how to kill a man. He's just here on vacation with his fiance (!!!!!) Laurent, he doesn't have anything useful to contribute.

Current plans:

CONNOR is going to hold a fundraiser "this is fine and I didn't help murder a god" party this month because he needs 15 other stories to get (the materials for) a greenhouse. Also we're playing CAH. Yes, ICly. I paid a favor for a fucking deck, we're using it.

DAMIANOS is ..... idk. He's probably gonna go exploring on Monsun some, but I rarely ever have concrete plans for Damen because Damen is not a planner. It's just not how he operates - ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY??? HE'S GONNA HAVE TO GO APOLOGIZE TO FANTASY BOYBAND HOUSE??? Thanks, Laurent.

Anything else:

[piercetheheart]

NO HE DOESN'T NEED TO APOLOGIZE! Okay maybe a little bit? But really... just... can he use your duplic- horse?

Also if there's a party Gladio is definitely down for it.

[yourattention]

FUNNY STORY Damen's horse, Chuck, is A Fucking Asshole Hellbeast because she's actually a horse intended for Laurent so Damen will probably just tell Gladio to ask Chuck if he wants to make Chuck do something because it's not really his choice.

(Maribelle, Laurent's horse, is sweet and nice but Damen's barely allowed to touch Maribelle so.)

[piercetheheart]

Okay then maybe... maybe... this horse labor thing isn't a great idea lmao because Gladio's going to be rather skittish around the damn thing anyway.

[yourattention]

Just bribe Chuck with fruit. If you give off the impression that you have fruit and/or you will give Chuck fruit, should she complete a task, Chuck will . . . probably do it. When she feels like it.

[piercetheheart]

are you sure Chuck wouldn't rather eat him? Because he's a little concerned about that

[tokenflavortownie]

god Pyrrha probably knows how to play cards against humanity by now

[yourattention]

pyrrha is now one of connor's favorite people purely because she might Actually Appreciate His Jokes. nobody appreciates his jokes, tim is too pop culture illiterate and everyone else if from sad places without memes.

why would you link that video. I clicked it and I regret it. I should know better I know.

ANYWAYS

Shion knows that Connor is 100% going to not want to talk about his dream at all but also knows they probably should so expect Awkward Conversations coming your way this month! Also know that Connor's happiness in general is now Shion's Mission so... I am sorry

Also Shion was thinking about a greenhouse too so have his stories Connor. Literally have all of them again I am sorry

Also teach him to play CAH because it will be awful and Shion will Not Get It and Connor will have to literally explain every joke and it will be awkward as hell. I'm still sorry but it's not going to stop me

Damen and Shion would probably get along quiet well as they have very similar personalities, so I'd be up for anything there as well.

[yourattention]

i dunno you were expecting katy it's me and my track record of linking things up there is "like ten variations on sincerely me jokes"

anyway connor is literally that one vine: "hey how's it going? well i'm doing just fine - i lied, i'm dying inside." tbh shion is probably going to find a Really Fucking Elaborate basket dropped in front of his house with eggs? probably blue chicken eggs in it, because connor is constantly just quietly like "haha why does shion even talk to me" - actually i should probably tag your open post. i'm gonna tag your open post, hold this thought.

also yeah! we should do more with damen and shion.
