◣ OOC MINGLE & CR MEME ◢


AUGUST MINGLE & CR MEME ❀
OOC intro/mingle posts in Ethyraia serve a dual function as CR memes for current players. The hope is that this will encourage current players to scan through and greet our new players. Take this opportunity to get to know your fellow players, plan hatching log threads, check-in regarding the keeping of TDM threads (which can be made game canon), find plot hooks, and plan for future CR.

NEW PLAYERS, please link your comments in reply to the appropriately labeled thread at the top of the post. Our goal is to boost your visibility. Established players will be looking there to welcome you!

Note: If we find that combining these functions isn't working, we'll reevaluate this set-up. Please don't hesitate to share your feedback on our SOTG posts.

REMINDERS:
The HATCHING LOG, which will now be mini-event logs, will go up on 08/08. There will be plenty to do in addition to the hatching.

☆ Remember that the ACTIVITY CHECK for this game is a static post that you reply to each month. New players, remember to get yourself all set up there and on the TAKEN LIST — this counts as your first month's AC.

☆ Player plots and questions should come through our PLOT ENGAGEMENT page, and the more PCs you have on board, the more we can give you. Please use these CR memes to find people to group up with for plotting purposes.

☆ You can ask general setting questions on our FAQ page.

There will be two mod logs this month! Keep a look out on the 8th and the 22nd for summer rain.

Trish, Bruno, Yakov, Mops, Adora, Catra, Eda, Wanda, Spensa, Steve, Bucky, John, Daenerys, Illumi, Jack, and Dorothea have vanished, leaving behind:
(character specific items)
steve rogers' depression notebook, bucky barnes' dog tags, a picture of sarah connor, wanda maximoff's spellbook, mops' monocle (held to eye by magnets, creates a HUD and acts as a smartphone), an owl-headed staff, and one very angry dragon (25m);

(weapons)
a flip-knife, two daggers, a glock 17, a m4 carbine, a rifle, an ammo box, a laptop with a charging cable (circa 2010), a mauser c96 semiauto hand pistol, a box of c96 ammunition, and two collapsible/extendible staffs;

(utility items)
a variety of clothes, three sets of sewing needles, two mugs (one reads "thirty and flirty"), a box of matches, a cigarette case, a beat-up copy of what is to be done? burning questions of our movement by v.i. lenin, a cleaning/maintenance kit, a vacuum cleaner, a cosmetics purse (comb, makeup, hand mirror), a flask of expensive whiskey, a crown, and a silver ring.

Unless someone claims it (please drop a note in Mod Questions if you do), the community outreach department will be collecting and redistributing these items.

I'm waiting for a good spot to throw Tina at Yen.

I also think Balthier and Yen might work well together if they have a like "We have to get this done" situation?
sunmon: (Default)

[personal profile] sunmon 2021-08-09 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah i think yen probably has a smish of respect for balthier being a competent charismatic person who is leadery while at the same time harboring cynical resentment for his approach because she's bitter like 90% dark chocolate SO IT WOULD BE FUN TO PITCH THEM TOGETHER FOR SOMETHING (maybe at ask on the hatching log?)

i could also do some kind of open top level for yen there so you have a way to throw tina at her 🤔 or maybe wait and see what the event's like later in the month?

Selfishly I need more threads for Tina this month so if we don't have a good Balthier reason yet we can pause. That said, I agree. I think Balthier would find Yen equal parts irritating and refreshing, though her aggressiveness would push him toward more irritable -- which is probably it's own relief from diplomacy and performance.

I could also maybe Top Level Tina getting up to some shit that Yen could be nearby or impacted by?

I would definitely swoop in on a Tina top level!
northerndragon: technically they're boots. king boots. (the keyword is on my shoes)

Jon is probably in a very mildly bad place and Yen might wish to investigate that, due to him claiming in a dream that he owes her something. Seems like something that might interest Untitled Goose Sorceress. Failing that, he might also seek her out for further conversation.
