PLOT WITH ME/INTRO MEME MARCH 2024

INTRO MEME


Welcome to Expiation and come on down! We're thrilled to have you here! 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.

The SOTG for March is HERE, with changes and where the game is going for the month. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.


MARCH EVENT


MARCH EVENT SUMMARY

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Characters wake up on the morning of March 11 to note a few things with relative immediacy. First, the weather is beautiful: warm, breezy, sunny. Second, all of the locals in Aldrip and the surrounds seem to have vanished. Third, these things seem totally normal to the Chosen–who now all believe that they are native to Aldrip.

That’s right. You’ve lived here your whole life. Everything you’ve ever known is this world.

Characters will go about their daily business in lives that they believe have always been like this. You’re free to choose any jobs, roles, backgrounds, and connections with other Chosen for your characters, so long as they believe that they have always lived in Expiation. All character powers are gone, or dormant, for most of the event. More on that later.

LOST AND FOUND

Occasionally, while going about their daily activities, characters will come across an item that seems strangely incongruous with the world they know. This will begin happening after the first few days of the event. A symbol particularly relevant to your character’s canon, for example, or a book. Watches, jewelry, cards, photos, small trinkets and tableaus–all of these are fair game.

Everything in your character will tell them not to look at these objects. Their entire being will try to resist them. If they do, the item disappears when they leave its immediate area. What item? They forget about the entire encounter. Strange.

Touching or interacting with these objects or moments will force a strange memory into their head–a memory of a past life, or a dream, maybe. These are your characters’ real memories, and as the event goes on, they will be able to either collect or ignore more of them. You’re free to engage with as many or as few of these as you like. We’ll ask on the event poll how many you interact with, and how many you ignore. The final count may have lasting repercussions on your characters and/or the world of Expiation, so please pay attention to the poll! Not all of these instances need to be threaded out.


There will be an RNG ELEMENT in this event, as well. Please note that characters who are picked for RNG have a small but nonzero chance that RNG effects could have a long-lasting impact on them.

Player: mono
Contact: citizenmono @ discord
Anything Else?: hi i tag at weird times bc i work nights and i like stupid anime/manga like naruto and jujutsu kaisen

Character: kakashi hatake
Canon: naruto
Canon Point: right after obito got squished

Crime: betraying one's comrades

Background: so this is 12 year old kakashi!! he is super uptight and also pretty blunt but he's got a heart of gold i swear. he was pulled from a pretty traumatic canon point so i guess he's going to have to deal with that at...some point...

Abilities: he can do ninja stuff! breathe fire, blow wind really hard, walk on surfaces that aren't normally walkable on, the usual. oh and he's great at survival stuff which should come in handy for the first week or so of the month.

Plans: I WANT THIS IDIOT BRAT TO EXPERIENCE FRIENDSHIP that's pretty much my primary goal at the moment, let him make friends (and enemies???) and learn what it's like to be not in the middle of a war.

POST MARCH 11: okay hear me out, i kinda want kakashi to be in some kind of street gang for kids, just troublemakers makin' trouble, any other younger characters interested in this??

How can you run into my character? however you could conceivably imagine, i can make work. he is everywhere exploring his new world.

???:

look at him he needs a giant stick removed from his ass STAT

Pls I want them to be friends so much hahahaha

Also YES, once Toph starts regaining a bit of her powers she will probably actively seek out the REBELLIOUS STREET GANG OF KIDS. Prior to that she would be interested but very blind and I haven't totally decided yet what her full AU story is.
battlefieldbrat: (dont make fun of my dumb bangs)

[personal profile] battlefieldbrat 2024-03-01 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
yessss they will make the best of friends. i assume you're cool with their TDM thread being canon? then they can just run into each other out and about or whatever.

GOOD VERY GOOD i think the street gang will be lit!! if you want a protective brother that drags her into shenanigans despite her blindness i would be down for kakashi doing that if you want, otherwise she will be welcomed into the street gang with open arms once she proves how gangster she is haha.

[personal profile] fieldtrip 2024-03-01 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes absolutely, I'm all for getting the jamjar intro over with ASAP!

OMG I would be SO so down for that hahaha. That would be super cute. It also means post-event she will be super attached to him and boss him relentlessly, so it has that added benefit, lol. Are you thinking biological siblings or just "parentless thug street children" siblings? I'm cool with either.
battlefieldbrat: (but MOM)

[personal profile] battlefieldbrat 2024-03-01 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
either one is fine with me!! they could be orphans tragically out on the streets or something idk. and yes after the event kakashi will be confounded by these lingering feels of ~love~ and ~protectiveness~ that he's burdened with lmao. this will be great fun.
fieldtrip: (22)

[personal profile] fieldtrip 2024-03-01 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That works, Toph can be a runaway rather than an orphan and tiny blind Toph on the streets will definitely need help to survive, so he can take her under his wing. She can be equally confounded post-event by unfamiliar feelings of ""being protected"". Wild.

VERY excited for this LOL. Feel free to disco me at whiskeyqueer or plurk at chirality anytime for plotting purposes.

ETA already thinking we should do a thread for her first mem/power regain if you're up for it, that would be super fun!

LITTLE DOES KAKASHI KNOW, HE HAS A FRIEND. SANDRY HAS DECIDED THIS. CONGRATS HE'LL NEVER BE FREE OF HER.

but fr she's going to make him an embroidered wall hanging of a forest. will the trees be the same trees as in konoha? up to you, but she's doing it anyway.
battlefieldbrat: (but MOM)

[personal profile] battlefieldbrat 2024-03-02 11:34 am (UTC)(link)

Kakashi being a Too Young Soldier by four years is pinging all of Ethlyn's maternal instincts, so she is definitely going to want to stay in his life, make sure he's doing wound care properly and not getting into more trouble than he can help. She is also too used to stubborn soldiers to mind brusqueness.

[personal profile] battlefieldbrat 2024-03-02 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
it would definitely do him good to have a caring adult figure in his life! he will begrudgingly accept her help and probably eventually warm up to her maternal advances!
