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.

Player: Azazel (Az)
Contact: azazelbunny or either character journal!
Tell us about yourself: EST, He/Him. I tag with wildly varying speeds, but life is about to get a little crazy on my end so expect delays!!

Character: Lillie (flower_of_innocence) & Gobbet (ratsinadaze)
Permissions: Lillie | Gobbet
Tell us about them:
- LILLIE is a young runaway from the Pokemon Sun/Moon games, taken from the point where she's in the process of being kidnapped. So she's been double kidnapped, I guess? Anyway, she's been here for quite some time and has been hanging out with Guzma in their shared shack and avoiding new islands like the plague, since the first time she encountered a new island, it WAS the plague! She's grown quite a bit, mentally and emotionally, but is still a kid.
- GOBBET is a dumpster fire teenage shadowrunner from the game Shadowrun: Hong Kong, her and her pet rats have been taken from the day after the final mission. She's lowkey paranoid, highkey reclusive, easily bored, and often times just trying to make it day to day. That said, she's liable to branch out more as time goes on because god fucking damn it is she bored to tears. There's like zero crime to be done here. Survival is great and all but it's kind of boring and predictable as far as she's concerned.

Current plans:
-LILLIE is planning a mock pokemon battle with Guzma, but is otherwise open to helping newcomers adjust and generally making new friends. Her world is kinda small, I'd love it to widen!
-GOBBET needs to get out there and make some connections. She can usually be found in her shack or at the temple when things go wrong or get weird. Come find her or be found by her or whatever.

Anything else:

Az, I need Shepard and Gobbet meeting when they're both their proper ages and Shepard trying to keep it together as she talks to her. Does Gobbet remember her last time here or no?

[flower_of_innocence]

Ohohoho!! She doesn't remember a thing. Because suffering, as we all know, is the music of life :^)

[tenthstreetbred]

oh my god. OH MY GOD AZ YOU'RE KILLING ME.....

Queue Shepard being Attached to Gobbet and Gobbet having No Idea Why

god yes. give me this good good angst

[flower_of_innocence]

Tim did tell her a version of her existed here before, so if Shep ever has it in her to explain why she's so attached it'll be an interesting conversation lmao.

"wow sorry for dying in your arms, that's super awkward that i don't remember it :/"

[tenthstreetbred]

HAHAHAH G O D yes that should absolutely happen

it's fine, Shepard's heart will break, but it's fine, she'll just be even More determined to make sure Gobbet doesn't die this go round

[goat_mom]

omg toriel moming lillie would be so good. she deserves a mom that's not evil

[flower_of_innocence]

Extremely true, a blessed take.

I don't know how she'd react to being mommed at, actually! She's grown much more independent from lowkey absorbing Guzma's attitude alongside her own personal growth, so it'd be very interesting to see what she'd think of Toriel in general. If she would appreciate the "softer than Guzma's school of get mad" influence of a momfriend or if she'd bristle at the idea of someone trying to step into that role. That said, I'd love to explore that kind of cr!

[goat_mom]

That's a good point! It'd definitely be interesting to see how they get along. Hopefully, they'd at least be friends!
