OOC INTRO: DECEMBER

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! November saw a restoration of status quo, (relatively, in any case), and an introduction of the newest island to the archipelago, Maati. Aside from the tumultuous beginning, a holdover from the events of October, it has all in all been a rather peaceable month, right?

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

1. Nuidan. The island of Nuidan 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.

2. Maati. The island of Maati arrived in the archipelago last month. As we mentioned earlier, the event scheduled for Maati has been pushed back to occur mid-December. Those new to the game still have until December 10th to sign up for this new event. Please note: as this event includes a chance of death, we will not be allocating anyone into the event unless they opt in. For those who have not opted in, no worries - we'll have something for you to do as well!

3. New Mod. Lastly and most importantly, we are very pleased to announce that we have a new addition to our mod team! As our workload has increased, we want to continue giving our lovely playerbase the time and focus that you all deserve. Thus, we would like you to extend a very warm welcome to Ruka (player of the Knight at lightlessfuture), who has agreed to join the LifeAftr mod team. You've already seen her chipping in here and there - she was the lovely contributor to the illustrations on the Search Requests page, as well as the sigils corresponding to Maati. She'll be helping us with metaplot and NPCs, as well as general maintenance!

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of December - 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> Plurk, Discord, whatever it is you use, as well as if you mind if people add 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>Permissions:</b> If you have any permissions posts for character interactions or powers, here would be a good place to list them! <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: Hi! I'm in GMT+8, she/her, currently in college! However my wrists are chronically hecked up and so I'm a slow, slow tagger. (Note that I also drop threads after a while, though I do backtag- if I drop off it's not you or your character, it's me!) I'm in a bunch of fandoms but as luck would have it I play from the one no one knows. lol.
also I reuse my replies for this every month. fight me
Character: Laurent, crosslaced
Permissions: bam
Tell us about them:
Laurent comes from Captive Prince, a medieval political intrigue series! Which is basically also a BL. I should probably have said that first, huh. He's affectionately referred to as a snake, thanks to his quirky personality traits of stabbing men in the first tagback (sorry Gladio) and general refusal to make friends. Laurent will absolutely sell you out for one corn chip even if he's done nothing of the sort yet. Currently comes with a big dog boyfriend fiance named Damen.

This version of Laurent is a CRAU from the Madoka-inspired game soulgemmed, and comes with magic (and uh. other Madoka-related complications.)

He also comes with a horse! EDIT: Multiple horses. He bought another horse.

Current plans:
I have no plans! I'll be abroad from the 9th to the..... 16th-ish, but otherwise I'm up for anything! I'd likely be looking at exploring Maati a bit, and when the event comes to claim our souls Laurent's in team yellow. #teamtrustnoone #andann
He is (still) currently a hunter by trade and lives near the FFXV bros on islet 1.

Anything else:

woooooooo team yellow

[crosslaced]

aaaaaaaayyyyyyy team yellow!!!

He and Aster should. Talk. At some point. Especially since it doesn't look like he and Shion are going to stop talking anytime soon.

Fun fact I actually had half a mind to tag the wedding because Aster probably would have... actually enjoyed that? She has lots of fond memories of weddings. plus she's like a disney princess so. if it's not too late I could still do that?

[crosslaced]

You can make a closed toplevel in the wedding reception, if you’d like!! I’m less free than I’d like at this time but I’ll try to tag back!

Or if Aster wants to crash the wedding itself, checking with the others in the thread might be good but I don’t think it’ll be a problem either.
