OOC INTRO ( MARCH )

OOC INTRO: MARCH

State of the Game
Hello, and welcome, to both new arrivals and more seasoned explorers! The month of February, short as it was, nonetheless saw a brief opportunity to relax and unwind, in the form of some recreational island-painting. We hope the break was restful and rejuvenating, because there's going to be a new island this month...

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

1. Monsun. The island of Monsun has been present in the archipelago for the last month or two, but it won't be for much longer! If you have any business you wish to complete there, be sure to do it soon; it will be disappearing from the archipelago as of March 20th.

2. New Island. The votes are in, and the majority of characters opted to vote for the island represented by orange flames, a towering mountain, and a village or ruin beside it. This new island will be available on March 10th for exploration.

3. Game Updates. Our mumble-monthly State of the Game posts have declined in frequency, in large part due to a lack of notable updates. However, a new State of the Game post will be going up relatively soon with some important updates, some important thank yous, and also a player poll!

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of March - 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.

VIOLET EVERGARDEN

[shiritai]

Character: Violet Evergarden (shiritai)
Permissions: Right here! That post also functions as an opt-out if there's anything in Violet's canon you'd rather not come up in RP.

Tell us about them: Violet is, hard as it may be to believe, not a Saberface, but an ex-child soldier who was conscripted into the army when she was found in the warzone and proceeded to be Unsettlingly Good At Killing For An Actual Baby Child. Following the war, in which she lost both of her arms, she was fitted with a pair of mechanical prosthetics and has been doing her best to adjust to being a civilian. Part of this process has come about from her work as what's known as an "Auto Memoir Doll", which is a sort of Emotional Support Ghostwriter kind of job. She writes letters for people who either can't write themselves or are having a hell of a time trying to put their feelings into words. As of her canonpoint, she's been doing this job for aaaaabout a year and slowly learning how to Be A Person in the process. A certified good girl, with a smile worth protecting.

She's settling... reasonably well into the game, all things considered and has actually been having fun? SAY IT ISN'T SO. I've been pretty quiet with her this past month because I apped with the expectation of having a ton of free time AND THEN WAS UNEXPECTEDLY EMPLOYED so March is hopefully going to be my month of getting a little more done.
Current plans: I talked last time about wanting to establish a letter writing/postal service on the island and I think this month is gonna be when I kick this into gear! It'll be posted later in the month but backdated since I need to get Yuuri settled, but there'll be a network post going up at ssssoooooome? point? this month where Violet plants the seed of that idea.

Aside from that, anything goes! She hasn't made a whole lot of strong CR yet WHICH IS MOSTLY MY FAULT but I'd like for her to start making some friends and building a social circle for herself. SHE'S A GOOD GIRL... COME BE FRIENDS WITH HER!!
Anything else:

Hi Claire, my name is Lex, I'm new and bringing the game a dragon teen, who I would love to get CR with Violet at some point.

If you need someone really handy for delivering letters, he would be happy to assist.

[shiritai]

that would actually be perfect!! Violet's mostly happy to do deliveries herself (it's even literally in her job description... auto memoir dolls are hardcore) but as she expands her Post-Delivering Aspirations, having someone who can fly around would be a big help for her.

[petrifiedshadow]

Absolutely! Starflight's probably going to wind up with greater aspirations of his own eventually but for now letter delivery seems like a great, relatively safe way to get to know the islands and the other people here.

I can't picture Asgore actually doing this, but I've just realized that the situation between him and Chara feels like a Violet Evergarden episode. Why can't we both just write each other letters about our feelings and cry?

IF I GOT TO WRITE A LETTER FROM ASGORE TO CHARA I WOULD C R Y
