OOC INTRO ( AUGUST )

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!

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.

[eudaimonikos]

Player: Lu
Contact: lluosogrwydd
Tell us about yourself: EST, she/her

Character: Asgore | journalname
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Asgore is an old goat and former monster king who's been here for quite some time now! He's got a very large garden, regularly supplies Denny with crops and tea blends, and usually has some kind of plant-related project going. I have more info on his setup here - anyone can hit him up for seedlings of any of those plants pretty much whenever.
Current plans: With Frisk and Chara leaving, Asgore's going to be in a continued weird place. He probably desperately needs emotional support of some kind, but hell if he's going to try to reach out for that. He may just go die in the swamps.


Character: Michael | eudaimonikos
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Michael is a demon from Hell, who recently defected for the sake of his new human friends, ran away to Earth, and then came back to try and reform the afterlife system after realizing exactly how shitty it is, so that's about where he's at! He's mildly annoyed at being stuck here right now, but given that they'll be going back to the same point in the timeline, he doesn't mind. He's a billion years old, this is nothing.

For other supernatural beings, he can typically sense and be sensed, so check out my permissions if that applies to you!
Current plans: I was pretty absent last month due to life, so I guess I'm just looking to get settled back in!
Anything else:

[ideismo]

one day I will play someone who is not total shit at emotional support but in the meantime my god asgore do try not to die

[eudaimonikos]

HE WILL DO HIS BEST

[demonpuppy]

Why and how do I keep forgetting to tag both of yours, I absolutely need to fix that this month??? Though I'd assume by now Chip and Michael have seen each other around by now so the 'oh demon' surprise has probably worn off.

[eudaimonikos]

YEEEEEEAH....I figure Michael probably didn't flip out because Chip looks like a kid, which no demons from his world do, and also was apparently here for a while without doing anything to anybody. He'd be curious as heck about Chip's whole deal though. Why use such a tiny vessel?

Asgore, meanwhile, is generally here to chat with and/or distantly worry about kids!

[demonpuppy]

Probably helps they're like, pint-size in power, too, lmao. And god, please ask them about the vessel thing, they'll get SO damn confused. Why would a demon need to pilot something else around?????

Goat daaaaaaaaaaad--maybe we can see what the second event of the month is and try to toss these two together on that?

[eudaimonikos]

YEAH, hopefully we can do that! I have a feeling it's gonna be a scary one tbh

[postictal]

you wanna go die in the swamps together

[eudaimonikos]

100% yes, wanna do an explore?

(With Asgore, I assume, but I'm on mobile and not gonna switch)

[postictal]

with asgore or michael honestly i could go either way but asgore and tim have had some pretty interesting cr lately and i'd be interested in pursuing that!

so yes the answer is "yes"

[eudaimonikos]

YEAH, Michael's role in Tim's life is clearly just to show up in times of dire vulnerability and be sort of helpful but largely just weird. We should do that again sometime.

[postictal]

I MEAN I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THAT EITHER that'll probably have plenty of chances to happen continuously since tim is just Like That
