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.

HELL YES. Ren's empathy is kinda dumb in that she can only feel strong emotions, so it'll be more like "why the heck doesn't he feel anything ever why por que help this is Weird"

ALSO I AM SO EXCITED FOR A DAY OFF TO PLAY OFF...I'm gonna slam into it monday and scream at you.

[unpurify]

In the wise words of anyone who's met the Batter: this bitch is empty.

That said he may start developing them soon, if very basic ones! Even though people will have to drag him kicking and screaming into it lol

Yessss. I am Mister Burns-ing over here waiting for you to get near the end. It'll be glorious. Please come scream at me.

[catpiper]

OH MAN that's gonna be so great. Lil Batter is growing up and feeling his feels. And Ren'll attribute it to like flowers and dumb shit like that. It's gonna be great. He'll get so many garbage gifts at that point?? So many.

Also AB YES my friend, my pal. I'll hit you up the moment I get stuck in another library for two hours.

[unpurify]

OH HEY I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING AWFUL

If Ren is heading to the bad part of Monsun, do you want to have her run into the Batter at some point? Because she might run across a frightening ducky instead of a human this time around :D

[catpiper]

ABSOLUTELY?? HOW MANY TIMES CAN IS SAY YES TO THIS??

Her bad side is going to turn her into a selfish 'scared of every damn thing' literal raccoon child. The second he turns into spooky monster man she is like Out of there. Bye Fam. Enjoy the seashells? And the dead flower? See you back on Enso.

[unpurify]

DEPENDING ON WHAT TIME SHE FINDS HIM he might already stuck in that form. Surprise surprise, the Batter's own perspective of himself counts. And purifying is on the top of the list.

that being said, there this is Sheer Irony: The CR so if he does catch Ren, she won't be in a whole lotta trouble. But it's best not to push it. Run small child run.

[catpiper]

STOP PURIFYING FOR FIVE MINUTES AND CHILL BATTER GOD

Don't worry she gonna run and deal with him later. "why are you a dinosaur duck man??" that'll be a real question i'll have to type my own two hands and that makes me so happy.

[unpurify]

YOU SAY THAT BUT HE'S A NO CHILL MACHINE

And yes, that is a sentence you'll have to type with your own two hands lol. Also it's going to be a very, very interesting conversation. Hopefully Ren is ready to hear his answer on it though!
