OOC INTRO ( OCTOBER )

OOC INTRO: OCTOBER

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! September brought with it a new island, and along with it the promise of plenty. You've all been working awfully hard to renovate Ensō - but as much as you've done, there's still lots more to do!

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 October 4th. Until then, a few quick points:
1. Umui. The island of Umui is still present in the archipelago...though we can't say how much longer it will last. ARUM-25 has started to remember something, and once the Storyteller returns...well, who knows what will happen!

2. Nuidan. The island of Nuidan is still present in the archipelago as well! Characters, new and old, are welcome to sign up for tasks and rewards, as well as propose tasks and rewards of their own if it suits them.

3. Storyteller's Absence. As of October 4th, the same day as this month's intro log, the Storyteller will be departing to seek out new islands for your exploration. The consequences of this absence are yet to be seen...but bear in mind, that from October 4th onward, IC contact threads with the Storyteller and Item Requests will be temporarily unavailable. We will let you know as to the date of their return. However, if you need some vital backdated, just let us know!
In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of October - 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!

Player: Zero
Contact: [plurk.com profile] arrpee, zero#8942 on discord; feel free to add my dudes mostly i yap about rp! i tend to mass-add all people unless i miss you!
Tell us about yourself: PST, they/them, one third of ur modteam. i generally try to hit people back as quick as possible; if i've dropped your thread, that was probably an accident, since i'm a backtag forever kind of babey
Characters: Tim Wright ([personal profile] postictal) from web series Marble Hornets, the Drifter, the Drifter ([personal profile] hyperlit) from indie game Hyper Light Drifter, Agent Washington ([personal profile] counterblows) from web series Red vs. Blue
Permissions: TIM | DRIFTER | WASH
Tell us about them:
TIM is a some dude from a web series called Marble Hornets (aka that one slender man webseries that Started It All) and a CRAU from [community profile] sol_raveh. Depressed chain-smoker with arsonist tendencies that have now become less "tendencies" and more "default survival mechanisms." Has somehow become the island's Birthday Distributor if you happen to not know what your birthday is, and has kind of come to adopt a great deal of stab-happy children. He's chock-full of mental health shit so feel free to give me a poke if there's anything that gets a little too Real. In general he's just...very tired, very hard on himself, but he means well, usually. He's also taken to setting things on fire when he doesn't know how to deal with them, so that's good.

THE DRIFTER is from an indie game called Hyper Light Drifter because obscure canons are, apparently, My Business. Silent, blue-skinned wanderer who communicates via sign language and/or a little bobbing sprite thing that hovers by their shoulder and projects text. They're suffering from an incurable terminal illness and starting to understand that they're getting attached to people here, big time. Oh Shit.

AGENT WASHINGTON is from a web show called Red vs. Blue, which is a halo-based machinima about colorful space soldiers thats funny until it stops being funny and starts being really fucking sad. he's a space marine who just needs a fucking nap, honestly. in general, he's pretty dependable in a crisis, is a highly accomplished killer, and has a hell of a Traumatic Past. but he's getting better, kinda. he's not happy that he's not with his team anymore, but he also has faith in them to make it just fine without his interference at this point. ain't that a bitch?

Current plans:
TIM still runs Denny, which is LifeAftr's one and only restaurant. Let me know if you wanna work there! We can handwave if you want, or if you want some good establishing threads for nascent CR that definitely flies for me too. I'm going to try and get a Denny mingle up once a month if possible, unless extenuating circumstances make that unlikely or unnecessary! He's gonna be working on trying to get a carpentry going on Nuidan, so lmk if you wanna join that group!

THE DRIFTER has been forced to take massive strides in regards to their character development in order to not die from hanahaki honesty curse and has come away realizing that they do in fact Give Many Shits about a lot of people around them!! it's confusing and theyre not sure how to handle it. theyre having a small crisis? theyre coping by doing Nuidan tasks, including wanting to make a library happen because hISTORY IS COOL. last i checked their group for actually Doing The Task was legion, connor, héctor, and the knight, BUT they need people to help them search the area for papyrus plants first, so let me know if you wanna join them for that bit of the adventure!!

WASH is dealing with HIS OLD BOSS. WHO IS HERE. OH BOY. he has been getting one castmate per month at unprecedented "lets fuck wash THE FUCK UP" rates so to keep with that tradition hes getting someone from his future who he has never met OH BOY. hes kind of trying to take care of himself, ish, mostly for the sake of his teammates and the cr hes made thus far, but you can probably catch him like patrolling semi regularly because you can take the man out of the space military but you can’t take the space military out of the insomniac disaster, as it were

Anything else: "hey zero how have you been for the past few months" well you see folks,
