OOC INTRO: SEPTEMBER

State of the Game
Hello all, and thank you for an amazing inaugural month! We've been loving the response the game has been getting thus far and are hoping you all enjoy September just as much, if not more! We absolutely welcome and encourage you to share your insights as far as how you've found the game so far, positive and negative, and offer whatever feedback you feel is necessary!

Our intro log will be going up on the comms on September 3rd, but there are a couple important things that we want to cover before then:

1. Housing. By the time the intro log rolls around, the Storyteller will have amassed enough power to provide characters with housing, which will open up our Housing page for players to fill out depending on who they're rooming with. Said housing will be based around the vicinity of Ensō on a series of islets. You will find more information on the intro log and on the housing page!

2. Transportation. The mana pools double as a means of transportation. All your character must do is pick one of the narcissus flowers that now grow in abundance around the pool and toss it in, as per hinted at by a helpful limerick engraved nearby. Upon speaking their intended destination, they shall be whisked there with a flash of white light! At this time, as the islets are currently the only other locations with a mana pool, even failing to speak the destination will simply plop characters onto one of them at random.

3. Trigger Events. As more of the island is uncovered, we will be implementing this as a new mechanic! Certain squares may be likely to yield certain creatures or occurrences of note - which will then become an island-wide event, depending on the severity of it. There is no knowing when these sorts of events may crop up, but we will be trying our best to stagger them between larger events so there's not too much going on at once! Since, like the exploration squares themselves, they are RNG-based, these events have a random chance to occur at almost any time.

4. Item Requests. We've received a few questions regarding how Item Requests work! In general, we have to take into account what the Storyteller is capable of for any given request. You have until the end of the month to fill out non-compulsory AC. The OOC form is the only one necessary, but IC storytelling might be a nice way to get CR with people you're physically separated from. Those who use non-compulsory AC to make their requests do not need to use their AC immediately. You can instead regard the AC as a sort of coupon to cash in at your leisure.

5. 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.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of September - 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> Do you mind if people add you on plurk/discord/what have 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>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.

Tell us about yourself: I'm in PST and my tagging speed would probably be described as medium.? I try to do a round at least once a day, and if you catch me at the right time I can boomerang. My work is quite busy RN though, and I also sometimes get sucked into yardwork or video games or something else that takes my attention away from RP. If you need me for a specific thing/time, feel free to contact me on Plurk on via PM!

I like horror movies, nature, manga, and Lots of Things; some things this year I was looking forward to were Blade Runner, the second season of Stranger Things, The Dark Tower (Stephen King fan but never got into the DT books), Twin Peaks: The Return, and Alien: Covenant sort of. I have only been disappinted by... some of these things, so c'moooon Denis Villeneuve you can do it buddy please don't screw up Blade Runner.
Character: Marcille, manasponge
Tell us about them: Marcille is a perfectly respectable elf spellcaster who definitely doesn't know anything about horrible forbidden magic that relies on sucking energy from eldritch dimensions no one fully understands. She's outspoken and stubborn, but feeling overall much less objectionable now that no one's asking her to cosplay as a frog.

In canon, her party is forced to subsist on what they can kill, cook, and scavenge from a dungeon because they can't afford real food \o/. Overall, Marcille thinks this place is kinda great because wow, food is actually growing on trees! She's recently invested in a cooking set, and is living the high life. Fried lizardbird! Eggs sunny-side up! Delicious.

I'm always up for exploring more stuff, and would especially enjoy playing out cooking meals and making things, since that's what Marcille's canon is all about SHE REALLY LOVES EATING or alternatively blowing things up with magic, that is also good. She would also be interested in sharing/cooperation, because why not.

inventory, permissions, and app can all be found on her journal.

Anything else:
