OOC INTRO ( DECEMBER )

OOC INTRO: DECEMBER

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! November saw the introduction of our first island outside the mainland, Monsun, which has brought tides of change both good and bad to the relationships between our player characters, between NPCs, and more! We heavily encourage newcomers to read up on the psychological effects of Monsun, as this will be relevant in the intro log. 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 December 3rd. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Deaths. Remember that, in the event that your character perishes, to let us know so that we can take a note of it, whether or not it counts for your character's total death count! If you're having trouble thinking of a penalty, we can definitely provide one for you. Remember to use the Deaths page for Death Penalty removal as well, once that time is up!

2. Communication. Due to some resourcefulness and the ingenuity of our resident Severs-the-Threads player (stoleyoursweetroll), we have a beautiful new network community (lifenet) for your use! Bear in mind that the network currently operates in more of a bulletin board capacity, with all the benefits and drawbacks that entails! Be sure to join this new comm if you haven't already!

3. AC. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people to tag their characters in the comms. This is the only compulsory form of AC we have, but after the first few months, we are going to stop warning people for forgetting to tag their character. Characters who fail AC will be swept. An additional reminder, also, to make use of the drop post should your time with LifeAftr come at an end instead of simply idling out!

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of December - 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: Zero
Contact: arrpee, zero#8942 on discord; feel free to add!
Tell us about yourself: One of your mods, they/them, PST! I try to be a speedy tagger.
Character: Tim Wright (postictal) from Marble Hornets, The Drifter from (hyperlit) Hyper Light Drifter, and the newest on my roster - Gabe Goodman (ungrieved) from a musical called Next to Normal because I sure know how to pick my obscure FUCKING canons
Permissions: TIM | DRIFTER | GABE
Tell us about them:

Tim is CRAU'd in from sol_raveh which means he hangs around a lot with fellow solumni Chara and Frisk. In short order: lots of mental health problems, lots of concentrated bitterness, and a fierce protectiveness of people he can relate to. He comes with a handy-dandy opt-out over in his permissions in the case of "holy shit zero why this serious heavy shit in your tags" so don't worry about tossing me a heads-up if you'd rather not thread about Wanting 2 Die.

The Drifter is a silent, blue-skinned wanderer suffering from an incurable illness. They are nomadic by nature, and so spend most of their time wandering around LifeAftr trying to explore and help when they can. They're nonverbal but can communicate thanks to a little floaty companion thing that's always at their side, as long as you can read. They also teach sign language for anyone who'd like to learn!

Gabe is a ding dang walking spoiler for a musical that not enough people have heard of lmao. He's a normal boy in a lot of ways and yet also manages to be a concentrated knot of an entire family's worth of Shitty Mental Health Issues boiled down into the form of one extremely bitter seventeen-year-old. If he acts bizarrely...childish, it's because he is for all intents and purposes, a child. He has an opt-out on his extremely in-progress permissions post if you wanna get a better read on what subjects might crop up when threading with him.

Current plans:

Tim is exploring Monsun and most getting a lot of Bad Side out of the deal, so he's a self-pitying sack of shit at the moment. Just. Very bad, very bad things. I'd like to get him on the west side if I can just so he can even things out some, maybe get some pleasant threads going?? He has a top-level on Monsun for anyone especially interested!

The Drifter, conversely, I'd like to get over onto the east side so y'all can see their horrible bad no-good side come to light. They have too much positive CR with too many wonderful people!!! stop that right now!!! i kid, don't stop, the drifter has never had this many friends before and they have sO MANY PEOPLE THEY WANT TO PROTECT!!!

Gabe is just starting out, so I have no plans whatsoever for him! You can expect a lot of negative CR to start with so uh.......don't be shocked if that happens lmao

Anything else:

[thermalwind]

I've been laughing at Gabe and Keith's cr since it started. And man, Tim and Hinata has been just a trainwreck. Hinata will try to patch that/apologize for his own bullshit later when they're not so island tweaked.

[ungrieved]

TIM WILL BE SUPER CONTRITE FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH he's either going to launch into Open Hostility or crushing self-pity lmao

don't worry keith gabe has a hatCHET in his bag he doesn't need your dumb knife now
but he'll still follow you around

notice him

[thermalwind]

Luckily or maybe super unfortunately, Hinata is used to 'did I make him cranky again or is this a good day' Komaeda. He's used to both of those.

This is going to be beautiful. Keith trying to get by and having a very strange shadow with an axe.

[ungrieved]

HE JUST LIKES TO BE NOTICED.....AN D ACKNOWLEDGED........

[thermalwind]

LOOK HE GETS IT, BUT THE AXE DOESN'T NEED TO BE A PART OF THIS

[ungrieved]

oh well it's ok he has a razor too

[thermalwind]

paranoia rising

[ungrieved]

[thermalwind]

[catpiper]

I haven't had a drifter thread in weeks??? And I'm starting to feel driftybean withdrawl symptoms.

Also Gabe?? Maybe?? They're both super childish in different ways and that might be interesting.

[ungrieved]

YES PLEASE TO BOTH!! god this will be strange and disorienting for gabe to encounter A Literal Child but holy god he is a child.....

is ren gonna venture over to monsun at any point do you think?

[catpiper]

Hell yeah Gabe let's party?? Time for tag and hide and seek and all those fun child things with a dumb trash girl.

Also yes!! She'll be going at least once to leave lil doodles all over the island. Probably the Eastern side only unless someone throws her over to the other side.

[ungrieved]

YES GOOD but oh god eastern side rEN BABY

drifter will be there at some point and it will not be...Good....

[catpiper]

can you see it now?? both super awful on monsun and then feeling awful about being awful so they aggressively throw flowers at each other?? that's the dream.

[hyperlit]

yes........flowers..............

probably definitely just flowers

[catpiper]

and candy?? and garbage?? nice leaves?? she'll do her best to make up for being a butt and find them the shiniest rock on the island.

boy i can't wait to die tho.

[hyperlit]

hhfhhfhfhHRHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

YEAH I THINK I HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH FUCKING EMOTIONAL DEVASTATION COURTESY OF REN YET I NEED MORE

[catpiper]

GOOD

YOU HURT ME LAST MONTH AND NOW IT'S MY TURN TO KILL

AT LONG LAST

[unpurify]

Since Tim and the Batter's first and last conversation ended awkwardly clearly we need to toss them at each other again.

And I'd be down to do something with the Drifter, even if it is on the Bad Side of Monsun. Meaning there might be a good chance for them to see the Bad Batter, depending on the timing.

Not so nice now, hun?

[hyperlit]

yes to BOTH!! i definitely wanna get the drifter over to the Bad Side soon, so they can possibly have a Fight??? they'd definitely be prone to combating the weird shambling thing with a duck face

[unpurify]

YES LET'S FIGHT. Also excuse you, he's a pretty duck.

If you find a time for the Drifter to wind up there, I'll toss the Batter over yonder their way! It'll be great :D

[hyperlit]

heck yeah!! i was thinking of giving em a toplevel at some point, so we'll see!

[ishotyouuu]

YOU USED THE WRONG SCREENSHOT U CHODE

no but seriously I definitely need more CR with your two losers and I'm sorry I've been so fail-- maybe Wade and Tim can finally meet and put to rest that whole "so I totally hid your body" thing.

Also more Drifter because they are adorable c:

[postictal]

fine are you happy

YES TO BOTH drifter is so happy to meet tibs, they should bring ichi to meet her and then be super excited that they already know each other!!!! and tim just. man. tim is ready to be Awkward As Fuck about seeing wade again but he really should talk to him just....a little at least lol they have to catch up
