OOC INTRO: NOVEMBER

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! October was a harrowing month for us all. The Storyteller's absence caused Mu to wreak a little havoc on character pasts, presents, and futures, but now that they've returned, order has at last been restored. Relative order, anyway.

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 November 4th. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Umui. The island of Umui will be disappearing by November 5th. There are a still few pockets of exploration to be had - better cover what ground and retrieve what supplies you can while it's still around!

2. Nuidan. The island of Nuidan, on the other hand, is still present in the archipelago. 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. New Island. The votes are in, and the majority of islanders favored the fourth option presented to them: an island is represented by golden flames, a set of scales, and a number of shapes that resemble birds. As of November 10th, this new island will be making its debut. We'll have more information for you then.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of November - 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: 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
Character: Tim Wright (postictal) from web series Marble Hornets, the Drifter (hyperlit) from indie game Hyper Light Drifter, Agent Washington (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 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! This month, I'd like for him to get some groups together for the carpentry tasks - LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE INTERESTED!

THE DRIFTER has been forced to take massive strides in regards to how 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? the guardian is here??? this is fucking them up????? theyre coping by doing Nuidan tasks, including making a library happen because hISTORY IS COOL. if you were part of their search req group or the library task group PLEASE HIT ME UP HERE. if you want to do more nuidan tasks before the island disappears, HIT ME UP because the drifter is super super about doing shit all the time!!

WASH is not loving life atm due to how CT has lost her Airlocked memories and he's gotten some eerie glimpses into his future and this is not great. trying not to panic. how cope. HOW COPE? he'll cope by probably doing more nuidan shit and then exploring the heck out of this NEW ISLAND. whoever wants to be in on that, let me know!!
Anything else:
