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.

I need to tag Drifter back and Zidane is likely going to visit the Denny and check up on Tim to see if he’s ok after finding out he fainted during the eruption. Although I don’t know if they’ll have met in person by then.

THAT'S OK they should meet in person anyway! thanks for checking up on him zidane, ur a bro

the drifter also likes zidane so far! but they like most people. but they also can share in on that "i was synthesized" angst if it ever comes up, tho the drifter is PRETTY BAD at bringing that up of their own volition

[atailoftwoworlds]

They definitely should. If in part to get better acquainted. Then some cheerful and cocky teenager can visit you and the Denny often, Tim!

Oooooh! That could be interesting to bring up at some point! Zidane's generally accepted his origins and is generally "Who cares what you are?" although there are moments when it does make him a little bummed out and he's not forthcoming about it yet because he doesn't know anyone here well enough yet and it might be a weird thing to bring up before then. He is aware that there are quite a few other synthesized beings here though and was very "Whoah really?" But there could still be some circumstances where it could come up.

[postictal]

IT SHOULD. the drifter needs to open up about and accept this stuff about themself more and zidane is so blasé about it that it honestly might help them lmao

denny's always got space for COOL TEENS to get WATER

[atailoftwoworlds]

It's less uncaring and more he fully understands it doesn't define him as a person and he's going to live his own life. But that doesn't mean there aren't certain reminders that hit home hard and make him sad for a little bit (like idk seeing someone being really affectionate with their mum and dad make him think "I wonder if my parents wou- oh wait :("). He'll remember all the people who care about him, focus on that and bounce back quickly though. The whole thing has made him value his friends and the closest he has to family more though. And more determined to protect them too. Talking to more people with similar pasts would also help ease lingering issues too probably so talking to Drifter about it might be good for him too. If we can find a good opportunity for it (at this point, Drifter's more likely to find out via someone mind reading or being able to detect what someone is or whatever but who knows?).

omg what is that video hahahahaha
