OOC INTRO: AUGUST

State of the Game
Hello and welcome to our newest arrivals! And to those of you checking in on the state of things - welcome back! Last month, you all got the option to learn what it was like to be a merperson of sorts, and uncovered a sunken city with remnants of a long-lost people. Come August, the Jormun will be dispersing once more, but remember that they're always a shell-call away, if you ever feel like contacting them for any reason!

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

1. New Island. As we pushed back the emergence of the last island in this voting round, it will be coinciding with this month's intro log. New arrivals will be arriving on the new island, so be sure to read up on the island's OOC info post! It'll be relevant to the state of things when you show up, if you're new.

2. Network Functions. As of a generous donation from Kravitz (deathfindsaway) and Chara Dreemurr (achievementhunter), the LifeAftr network now has a notes function! This is a rather simple upgrade, and just means it's possible to create and store messages without having to immediately send them. But it might make it easier to draft things and send them as attachments! This information will be available on the FAQ as well.

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

Tell us about yourself: EST and I work 8-5 so I'll primarily be active during evenings/weekends. I'm terrible at these kind of intro things but I'll leave a funny vine at the end of this to make up for it.
Character: Crowley

Permissions: here! especially noteworthy to characters who are some kinda supernatural critter!!
Tell us about them: crowley is hell's most approached demon, and that's about the nicest thing we can say about him.

more accurately, he's an infinitely old man-shaped (most of the time) being who really just wants to drive around in his car and drink wine and listen to music. despite being a demon, he's not particularly malicious or violent, but he's not really used to interacting with people outside of a professional capacity. he can be vaguely charming and a little bit cool if he really puts the effort in, the question is just whether he's going to make that effort.

on one hand he's gonna be fine with being away from earth, his stuff is there but like, so are a bunch of demons who want him dead. otoh the fact his magic doesn't work properly is going to be a constant source of annoyance. this is a person who hasn't bought an item of clothing for at least 2000 years. he probably hasn't had any water to drink in at least that long. he doesn't like eating. he's going to get sunburnt one day and he's going to hate it. please feel free to make fun of him about all of this.

at the start he'll probs be introducing himself as anthony bc that's his Human First Name but who knows how long that'll last before he gets bored and goes back to just crowley

Current plans: crowley's just going to be getting his bearings for the first lil while! dealing with the restrictions on his powers and trying not to throw a tantrum about the whole thing bc he's old enough that he shouldn't be having tantrums anymore.

that said he's probably going to be cranky about nastrandir, but curiosity might drive him to explore, maybe even push himself to take a flight up the mountains.

at least there are interesting plants. that's the only good thing so far.

Anything else: honestly just this vine sums up crowley's existence

hey sup. infernal blueberry coming in. crowley can most likely sense jester even though she'll be VERY confused about it because like, demons aren't infernal, they're abyssal, you freakin weirdo.

anyway shes def gonna be a nightmare hope youre ready

im maintaining that tieflings are like demonic la croix and no one can stop me

but also im SO ready, please make his life as difficult as possible

most tieflings are NOT demonic at ALL she will fight you

anyway making lives difficult is the thing she excels at the most so itll basically be the easiest thing ever. Remember Hell? Here We Have Nine Of Them

bold of you to assume i understand the difference between infernal and abyssal

nine is too many he's just going to lie in the ocean and gently float away, to avoid dealing with jester

no jks he'll probably enjoy her chaotic shitpost energy, this a being who thinks gluing coins to the sidewalk is Peak Demonic Comedy

jester will teach you all about it, she is an EXPERT (she's not)

oh my god actually i DON'T think she knows that one he's got to teach it to her. please teach her to glue coins to the floor. she'll fucking lose it

this is shocking information

friendship ended with aziraphale, now jester is his new best friend

HELL YEAH SUCK IT!!!!!! but actually shell probably like the angel guy too

but he's such a neeeerrrrdddd

he is but unfortunately its cute

he can neither confirm nor deny that claim

god. this is going to be nightmarish

dont bring god into this its bad enough as is

THAT ONE ISN'T IMPORTANT ANYWAY have you heard of this really cool guy

compared to both god AND satan the traveller sounds like a great pal honestly

'Demonic La Croix' is still my favorite thing ever omg

im very proud of myself

also hello dear im here to ruin your life again

I'm so happpyyyy!

we dont have Actual Dumbass Siblings this time but i give it like two months before crowley decides to adopt the chaotic baby tieflings

asasgfh they'll be Dramatic Assholes together!!

it's their calling

HEY! Michael is also a demon so that's! Fun!

He actually quite loves humans in general, and is probably going to be immediately defensive when he clocks another demon in the area, because he's accustomed to his kind being a bunch of dicks. If they can make peace and realize they're essentially on the same side, though, he super relates to the tedium of having to feed and water your body now.

crowley is also used to demons being total dicks and wont be psyched about running into one BUT he's a dramatic dumbass so it'll probably be obvious fairly quickly that he's not a demon from the good place (or more accurately, the bad place) lmao

Michael may try to be Scary to make this Scary Unknown Demon think he is also Scary and Able To Protect The Humans so anyway I'm excited for them to posture ridiculously at each other for 20 minutes

ohhhh my god yes please it's all i never knew i wanted until now

i actually have a top level up already for the new island if michael's going to be poking about over there!
