OOC INTRO ( MAY )

OOC INTRO: MAY

State of the Game
Hello, and welcome adventurers, old and new! April was a month of changes and cycles and rebirth and renewal, as evidenced by the volcanic eruption on the island of Cahypdo and the strange effects that's had on the ages of characters and NPCs alike. Thankfully, by the time April has concluded, things will be restored to normal...or whatever passes for normal here, in any case.

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

1. Cahypdo. We recommend that anyone new to the game take the opportunity to read up on the island of Cahypdo, as well as trade with the Roaka, the local populace, if that interests them. Cahypdo will be vanishing when Storytelling goes up on May 20th, so get in any explorations while you can!

2. New Island. The votes are in, and islanders voted to go to the second option presented - the one represented by green flames and strange starburst patterns reminiscent of explosions. The new island will join LifeAftr's shores on May 10th, when it will become accessible for exploration!

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

SUPLEXES YOU

hey Ren they need a reminder that life has some good aspects after being non-existent (again) for a month pls and thank <3

[achievementhunter]

you know, finding Tim mid-panic attack in the middle of the jungle isn't going to be at all surprising

but the fact that he survived a month without them is going to blow their mind

[achievementhunter]

if we can ever get these two to admit that they're both former ghosts I feel like there's potential for some neat cr between chara and ben

but that aside just chara and connor snarking at each other is also something that fills me with a mighty need

also welcome back hun we missed you <3

[achievementhunter]

okay so a hiatus may have stopped this from happening before but

Chara really needs to meet a dragon. Esp if said dragon needs some book recommendations they have a couple of personal favs.

[catpiper]

DROPKICKS

hell yes oh my god she's gonna be so happy to see them back!!! WAY TO WRECK HER ASS FRIEND time to have some FUN!!

[achievementhunter]

eyyyy Chara is a stuffy undead child who may or may not be over a hundred years old, I feel like they'd potentially either hit it off really well or very poorly. Either way, I'd love to interact if you're down for it!

[achievementhunter]

Hey! I'm not sure how Kate feels about kids, but Chara is both knowledge hungry and going to be pinged by an astrophysicist, so I'd love to throw them together sometime!

[achievementhunter]

ew who let you back in

[achievementhunter]

LOOK she can have one (1) cry, they'll let her have that because they know they have their own anxieties about her disappearing so... fair, they suppose.

AND YES PLEASE????? YES PLEASE

[achievementhunter]

SLAM DUNKS

YES PLEASE LET THEM BE CHILDISH FOR FIVE SECONDS LOOK AT THIS PRECIOUS NEW ICON I NEED TO USE A MILLION TIMES OVER

[catpiper]

LOOK AT THEIR PEANUT FACE!!!! hashtag blessed

god yes please please please ren has a thousand new games for them to play 4eva. she's learning how to prank!!! help her move all the stuff outta the elf tent while people are sleeping.

[hellawrath]

they're important to her ;; have you cleared the whole inbox or do you still want to do something like the light!chara thread?

IT'S GONNA GO SOME KIND OF WAY FOR SURE

[achievementhunter]

oh fuck yeah they will teach her every prank in the book you gotta put all their hands in warm water too, trust them

[catpiper]

sounds legit af LET'S GO RN IMMEDIATELY

[achievementhunter]

Shhh they're not ready to say words like "friend" or "important" yet. I'm gonna have a look at my inbox tomorrow and see what I'm gonna balete, but-- I know us I wanna keep as many of their threads as I can wheezes

HEY LETS PAINT THE TOWN RED

LITERALLY

WITH BLOOD

[triggerhappytraitor]

Jon sounds kinda similar to this guy! Tachibana's also a socially awkward turtle with depression issues who's a researcher of (a very specific) supernatural by profession. He even has some actual experience in that "becoming the Other" thing (both 2nd hand and both... kinda 1st hand due to stuff in his previous game where the person who's life he was living at the time he took over for Apollo and when he came back to himself, he had some leftovers from that.) Would love to get them chatting about stuff!


...also my 2ndary guy, Bakura, is a occult nerd who would find everything about this all fascinating (especially the eldritch abomination part.) and would want to pester him for all sorts of details and would totally tell him all the neat stuff that happened with the totally-not-cursed ancient occult artifacts he and his best friend had that one time.

[evergonnahaunt]

these arsonists, after learning setting things on fire was probably NOT a great plan the last time: what if we do it AGAIN

that is to say if the opportunity arises hell yeah they should set stuff on fire!

[evergonnahaunt]

yes!!! they had really good interaction and i think it'll be fun to see how they continue. do we want to keep the tdm thread canon in-game?

[evergonnahaunt]

i just need you to know that chara was one of four people connor warned himself about as a child not because they actually hate each other but because he was 90% sure chara has chilled out here and as an even babier baby chara would just stab people they didn't know

also god ben doesn't quite understand being a former ghost is weird? like he knows it's weird in practice, but also he time traveled while dead and his brother is like fifty years old in a thirteen year old body. things go fucky. he needs advice about how to be a functional human being again.

Tell us about yourself: EST, she/her. Professional programmer specializing in game dev and simulations. I just got a new job and am currently stuck in a really exhausting training phase, so I'm kind of slow at the moment, though now that I get to have weekends where I can actually rest that should pick up. In addition to RP things my plurk usually features ramblings about programming and/or video game development, geeking out over MHA and Megaman, random bouts of streaming, and rabbit pictures.

Character: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya ( heroondecku )
Permissions: Right this way!
Tell us about them: Izuku's a friendly, anxious nerd child with self-sacrificing tendencies, an empty hole where his self-esteem should be, and a penchant for thinking out loud. He's a high school superhero-in-training, with a Superpower Of Great Importance that was passed down to him from his heroic idol, so, you know, no pressure! He's also just a huge superpower and superhero nerd in general, complete with borderline obsessive research. He's been here for a couple months and is honestly still amazed by the weird plants, weird animals, and the fact that nonhuman-looking people here can be actual for-real nonhumans. His idea of "normal human" is...more than a little weird thanks to coming from Superpowers For Everyone World.
Current plans: Izuku's going to be sliding into full blown Research Mode and will likely be functionally living at the library and taking so many blank books to write notes in. He's also got something halfway resembling a workout routine going, which includes doing laps around the housing islets at ass o'clock in the morning, if anyone wants to join and/or interrupt him. I'm planning to get a network post from him up soon (this weekend, hopefully) as he attempts to deal with that whole "wait, nonhuman-looking people here usually actually are not human?" issue.

Anything else: Uuh...uuuuuuh...look over there! It's a funny and carefully chosen GIF! [FLEES INTO THE NIGHT]

[sandsister]

EVERYTHING'S FINE it's fine it'll be fine shhh

[sandsister]

[tenthstreetbred]

YUP TOTALLY FINE, COMPLETELY FINE HAHAHAHA.....

[petrifiedshadow]

Please give him book recs, Chara! He plans on reading the whole library if possible but gotta start somewhere.

Tell us about yourself: GMT, He/Him, Resident Brit and first-time DWRPer, fresh off of a long hiatus and ready to start getting back into the swing of things!
Character: Guilty Gear's Doctor Faust, who can be found over yonder.
Permissions: Look no further!
Tell us about them: It's everybody's favourite 9'3" elderly Chinese doctor, Faust! When he's not embodying the soul of slapstick and accidentally being more of a cryptid than the actual cryptids are, he's delivering wisdom with the eloquence of a philosopher and saving people's lives - as far as he's aware, he's the only licensed medical practitioner on the island, so he taking his job here especially seriously.
He also runs the only clinic and infirmary on the isles, should you need patching up or wish to enjoy the zaniest bedside manner this side of the dreamscape.
Current plans: After everything that's happened the past month or so, I'm looking to get back into the groove of things, so expect plenty of toplevels and responses for the forseeable future! I am always open to any and all kinds of CR, so don't be afraid to drop in and say hello! Or scream at the horrifying humanoid abomination. Either's good.
Also, the aforementioned clinic and infirmary only officially opened a week ago - anticipate a post for it in the near future!
Anything else: MEDIVAC INBOUND
