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.

Player: Javid

Tell us about yourself: he/him, PST, I mostly spend my time embarrassing myself in public due to medically having no brain. my activity is sporadic due to life being what it is lately, but I think things are starting to get more regular again soon so I am more optimistic about the coming months than I have been for a couple years...!?!?

Character: Jester
Permissions: here and it severely needs updating whoops
Tell us about them: a very bubbly, very childish sort of adult, the type to start giggling and making dick jokes in the middle of a very serious conversation. she is, however, also very empathetic and understanding of different kinds of people, even if she tends to play tricks on unsuspecting passersby. she's also real gung-ho about her religion, let her tell you about it.
Current plans: jester is really easy to throw into anything, since she just kind of follows her whims and also likes to be helpful in general. if you need someone to help explore or set something up, she's your girl! otherwise, she's just as liable to approach literally anyone for any reason.

she's also slipped a few pamphlets between the books at the library that anyone's free to notice. I deffo need to make up for my own slack and get her leaving graffiti and other nonsense elsewhere, too.

Character: Klaus Hargreeves
Permissions: here, please note that this guy is basically a walking cw. he's struggling heavily with addiction and ptsd so like, it's pretty much bound to come up y'all, so have a look please!
Tell us about them: trash garbage man. bad. he's bad. that's all I have to say about him.
Current plans: I've been struggling a bit keeping him active here, but I've decided rather than just bowing out I'd like to try to give him a li'l second wind of attempting to get him like, around. he's definitely not the type to get involved, which is the main issue, but he's also pretty easy to throw at people at random since he's a needy idiot. currently he's sort of avoiding his brother Ben, because he thinks he's managed to hide the fact that he's fallen off the wagon from him (lbr, probably not).

so if anyone would be willing to like, house him temporarily, that'd be cool, but if not that's fine too. he's uh a handful. I'm so sorry

Anything else: listen I'm at work all social media is blocked I'm just grabbing the first thing I have saved on my google photos

we already know how I feel about jester but consider: the gay disaster energy that crowley and klaus would exude if in the same room together
