Intro / CR Meme / Extra Notes


INTRO / CR MEME

Welcome to Expiation, where the points aren't real and absolutely don't matter. But you do, and we're happy to have you! Please note that this intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.

As a reminder, Expiation runs on bi-monthly events. Please note that all players / characters accepted in March are exempt from the March AC. For everyone else, March AC is due by 31 March, 2023. Halfway through the day AC closes, we will give one (1) warning on both plurk and the OOC community for anyone who hasn't submitted (this will also be linked in the player-run discord).

To give you a very general overview of how the upcoming timeline will be...

17 March - Event #1
31 March - Character Action Poll for Event #1 (This will be further explained on the event post.)
14 April - Results of Action Poll for Event #1 + Game Environment Alterations
15 May - ATP / Enable Me for Expiation's TDM #3
19 May - Event #2
22 May - TDM #3

Where are the reservation / app dates for our next cycle? Our poll is still being used and looked at. At present, most participants don't have a preference on how we adjust dates to better suit [personal profile] enablemeplz, which is posted the second Saturday of each month.

With that said, we currently have more votes for 1 week forward, rather than 2 weeks, which would place reserves to open on 03 April, and applications to open on 10 April. We will, of course, adjust this accordingly as we get closer to the end of the month.

One more reminder:
After this upcoming app cycle, our TDMs, Reserves, and Applications will open on a bimonthly schedule, opposite of event months.

This means the next TDM, Reserve, and App process will begin at the tail end of May 2023.



EVENT NOTES:

The Short of It:
The units used to preserve food in Aldrip have malfunctioned and Aldrip's townspeople face starvation. Characters are encouraged to lend a hand in the crisis, though of course, can choose not to. (Don't be that person. Or do...! We're not your parents.)

Prompts Include:
๐ŸงŠ Fixing the refrigeration units. Potential electric shocks during repair.

๐Ÿณ Cook a thing. Burn a thing. Hunt some animals. Fish some... fish? Dry / smoke some food? Have a large, improvised grillfest? Please feed the people. They are probably hungry.

๐Ÿค Travel through Pessiria Forest with Aldrip locals to meet the Rumpiturians and barter for goods. (TW: They're a people with snake-like features. There will be reference links.)

๐Ÿ’ฐ Alternatively, steal supplies from the Rumpiturians instead of bartering. Or steal some of their other things. (TW: They are still people with snake-like features.)

๐Ÿ‘ป Pessiria Forest creepy things. No one will be outright hurt by this. Select characters sensitive to ghostly, phantom apparitions, and related will have nightmares regarding the forest for an undetermined amount of time.

โ“ The party returning from Pessiria will be minus some people (read: locals, not Chosen; this will tie into a future event). Speculate, count heads, do whatever you need to in order to sleep at night.



Until then, please make use of the below form for all of your intro and CR meme needs! In the future, we will include a Table of Contents section that will contain intro links for all of our new players for convenience.

100%! I have a toplevel here if any of the prompts on it look interesting to you, but if not, I'm totally open to plotting for something else!

Sorry about the wait! I had some sick days and was just not able to catch up.

No need to apologize for that whatsoever!! I hope you're feeling better.

I saw that you left it open re: whether Ritsu caught Seimei pilfering something, and I just wanna say I think the reasoning you came up with for why he'd do that is super interesting. If Ritsu found out why, he'd be so curious about Seimei, so if you're up for it, maybe that could be something they talk about somewhere in the thread? Assuming it's IC. If Seimei isn't the type to be open about why he did it, no worries!

Yes, I wanted to leave it to you whether Ritsu would call him out or not, because I wasn't sure how that would go (but he'd also return anything if told to). Seimei is shifty, but he's also honest with his statements. He tries to couch it in riddles and misdirections, but he can't really outright lie. And he tends to be open about things once people ask, he's just avoiding conflict so if no one does ask he gleefully remains a lazy asshole. I'm definitely up for that talk! Well-meaning-but-problem-child-son deserves to have that conversation.

Also thank you so much! I'm getting there I'm just scrambling to catch up lol

Gotcha! If Seimei would've returned it, I think Ritsu would have let it drop pretty quickly and gone back to his normal, more polite self. We can probably just say that it happened, Seimei briefly got to see Ritsu be uncharacteristically blunt, but it passed and all is well again. Like Seimei, Ritsu wouldn't start acting differently around him because of that or anything.

Ritsu is honestly way too inquisitive and likes to spam questions at people he's interested in, so I'm a little concerned for Seimei if he doesn't know how to lie.. I'm super excited to see where this CR goes!

That sounds good! Seimei isn't invested in the items themselves so he'd sneak them back if he was caught, and probably just be even more interested in getting to see Ritsu's blunt side. He loves a good challenge and a mystery!

Seimei really can't lie directly. He operates on fairy rules more or less, so he can mislead or decline answers, but can't lie. If Ritsu gives him uncomfortable questions I will laugh so much.

Seimei... I regret to inform you that it's an entire texting mechanic in Ritsu's game that he can spam people with questions on anything ranging from "Who's your ideal type?" to "Dog faction or cat faction?"

But!! I also don't want to kill poor Seimei's inbox too much if their CR devlops to that point, so let me know if you'd rather I go easy on him in that department.

lol that would be great honestly. Seimei usually has to deal with the opposite issue, where no one wants to talk to him or deal with him at all, so being the guy on the other end of things and accosted by questions would be a good learning experience for him. I'm fine with question spam! He might eventually get ruffled but he's very good at sucking it up with a sigh for politeness.
