MAY MINGLE & CR MEME


MAY 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.

(In the future, we will have a thread at the top of the post for new players to link their comments, to help boost visibility — please keep an eye out for this in the future! Obviously, this round, everyone is new.)

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.

REMINDERS:
The HATCHING LOG goes up on 05/21. Because pretty much everyone was on the TDM, we're going to expand this one considerably to extend beyond what was present there. Expect additional prompts!
☆ The first month's activity check will just be a check-in. Remember to visit the ACTIVITY PAGE to get yourself all set up.
☆ 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.
☆ You can ask general setting questions on our FAQ page.
Our FIRST EVENT will be 06/10.
☆ Our next applications round opens on July 1st, at which point we'll start monthly cycles. We were just too excited this time.

Hey Taylor! Welcome to DWRP! It sounds like Balthier is in a really interesting place to see how his character will develop. Nina's also friendly, into nice things, and at a crossroads in her life/loyalties - let's throw them at each other and see what happens?

Thank you! I'm very down to just throw them together and see what happens. :) From what I know of Nina, she's also very good at reading people and Balthier isn't used to being outdone there.

Hey! I thought this info might be relevant and wasn't sure the best place to get it to you --

Balthier's piracy partner of several years was a magic using non-human outsider named Fran, who many people thought he was romantic with and I'm playing as very close platonic relationship (and now lost found family that he hasn't processed). He's incredibly respectful of women (even prefers working with them) and does well with powerful othered types. Fran's magic was a lot stronger than his and he was happy to be the support. He likes to call himself the leading man but is much happier in a teamwork setting.

I feel like he and Nina could potentially have some overlap with that dynamic, and I am enjoying that Nina doesn't necessarily expect that. He also forgets other people don't behave this way and that his gender behavior may be atypical.

Hey, thanks for the info! Putting this here definitely works, but you can also always feel free to shoot this journal a message or hit me up on plurk! I'm completely canonblind, so it's cool to learn some more about Balthier. Nina's very much in her spy mode right now, where she is just trying to gather information about... everything and everyone in a very strange place. I look forward to seeing where the thread goes! I think it will be fun to see what's uncovered when they get their gear; Nina's gonna get hit with a very emotional find so that will be interesting too.
