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: Hello gang, I'm new here and coming to you from EST timezone. I typically work nights so you are likely to see tags in the morning or super late after I get back from work.
Character: Crow | tomodachi
Tell us about them: Crow is a young boy from a post-apocalyptic world where 99% of the population died in a tragic cataclysmic event, save for a small handful of robots, a silver-haired girl, and a cinnamon roll that was too good for that world, too pure who ended up becoming Crow's best friend after Crow stole their locket and then fell off a ferris wheel at some point... it's a long story.

Anyway, he can be cold and rather rude to people that he first meets, but once he's had a chance to warm up to you, he can prove himself to be a friend for life. His philosophy is to always have fun, never cry or give in to despair because that's just lame. As such, he can be childish and naive when it comes to what he finds to be exciting in the pursuit of fun, prone to risky behavior and a bratty attitude to those who try to ruin said fun. That said, he's also curious and is actually very interested in books and stories, as well as collecting garbage any shiny trinkets he can get his hands on.

His permissions post is here, and the only inventory he's got on him aside from his weird outfit and random shit in his pockets is a Choco-Charm so far. Unfortunately, there's no point in him using it to make chocolate to eat because, surprise, Crow is one of those robots I mentioned earlier and doesn't require food. He will however be camping out at one of those pools every two weeks or so.

Current plans: I just got here so I am literally ready for anything: give us people for Crow to antagonize with his childishness, give him friends that will indulge said childishness and go exploring with him, or even just someone who will keep him from doing something dumb and hurting himself because this boy can't be trusted to not do that sometimes.
Anything else: when Seto isn't home

As I was reading your post, I was going, wow that sounds like the canon Ren is fr--WAIT A MINUTE! LOL!

Come here and let the blind man adopt you. It's not like Ren hasn't already stolen his heart anyway!

[tomodachi]

Good luck adopting this one, this one's a rebel in comparison to Ren.

You realize he likes challenges right? LOL!
