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: She/Her, in PST! i'm an old lady who loves to RP still, and has been in the journal rping business for a long time. i'm a silly fangirl, i like animals, and watching shows/movies with other people. aside from rping, some of my other hobbies include drawing, singing, and crochet!
Character: Osomatsu Matsuno relieable
Tell us about them: Gosh. Osomatsu is a loser. He's a NEET and the oldest brother of sextuplets. yes, you read that right. currently, there are three of them in LifeAftr, and Osomatsu is not doing too well adjusting, but he's trying to keep a positive attitude, as usual. he's one of those conceal don't feel types when it comes to serious emotions. but otherwise he's a big baby who needs friends to teach him how to be a better person. or to just kick him in the ass, okay.
Current plans: Osomatsu definitely needs to get out more. Right now, he's watching over his brothers to make sure they don't kill themselves (cough Ichimatsu cough). He's lazy, though, so he probably won't actively start looking for things. You'll have to drag him out, make it worth his while. Tell him you're looking for treasure, because that will motivate him! Open to all kinds of CR, positive, negative, romantic (why would you).
Anything else:

Oh my god you nearly demolecularize yourself and a 12-year-old once.

ACTUALLY with the chance for separate housing coming up I was going hit you up, because Ichimatsu might assume his brothers are expecting things to return to the ep 24 status quo of living separately. Things can be addressed maybe?? Ichi is more than willing to conceal all feels except his vague and misplaced bitterness. Either way it could be a tire fire but you know, that's about expected

Or maybe Niisan can come along on Ichimatsu's tireless quest for cats, if he'd like. Because now that the ST has told him they exist here he will die a thousand deaths before giving up

[relieable]

LET'S ADDRESS THINGS. Osomatsu will be like whuuuu?? but then realize what they are talking about. and he'll probably want to avoid talking about it as much as possible. he does not want to live separately, though! so if they do, he might come hunt them down, or something.

and, yeah, Osomatsu will come along for that, if only to make sure that Ichimatsu's safe.

[ichininyaanshi]

LET THESE GROWN ASS CHILDREN ADDRESS THIS. Ichimatsu doesn't want to separate from his brothers even Kara again, he is just... allergic to admitting he desperately wants to keep living together when he thinks they're all still in the episode 24 mentality, sob

He was the last to leave and lbr he'd be the first to come back (and grumble about it the whole way) if he felt like it was okay now

Also yes please... Ichimatsu might bring his friend, who is mostly his friend because she thinks he's a cat. Don't ruin her dreams please oniichan.

Ren is always hunting for treasure, but her idea of that is probably different from Osomatsu's since she means like, cool rocks. But she would say treasure?? And she's on pretty good terms with Ichimatsu. They might get along!

[relieable]

TREASURE. YEAH sign him up! Ren is cute. Osomatsu's pretty okay with kids too, so maybe they should bump into each other!

[catpiper]

I will throw her at him the next time I see him!! They will find the best treasure.
