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.
PLOT WITH ME

Canon Point:
Crime: The crime your character was accused of when they arrived.
Background: A brief insight into your character's history is fine here. You can talk about their personality as well.

Juri Arisugawa
Canon: Revolutionary Girl Utena
Canon Point: end of black rose saga
Crime: Rebelling against miracles. As you do.
Background: ...So.
Juri is part of Student Council except that it's a cult? They wear rings with rose crests in their left ring finger as a mark of Duelist and get shady letters from someone who calls themselves as The End of the World. Then they have these shady duels behind school forest about ownership of a magical waifu that can give you the power to Revolutionize the World... whatever that means. Juri is actually most levelheaded out of the group and she only wants the magical waifu to destroy power of miracles. It's all symbolic about being closeted gay and trapping herself in toxic, unrequited love ok.
But outside of her cult activities Juri's hobbies include being perfect and fabulous. She likes fencing, bowling and modelling. Other than that she enjoys taking long walks during the night in her expensive haute couture evening gown and cry at the moon because the girl she likes won't return her calls.
Abilities: She's your average girl! With mad sword fighting skills
Plans: Juri will have no memories of her last, very brief, visit to Aldrip so she'll be starting a fresh! I am looking for all kinds of CR at the moment. Friends, frenemies, weird shit, combat things, political talks or whatsoever. Also she needs to meet The Gays and potentially learn to be more open about her own deal.
AS FOR EVENT:
- I want to go Extra. She'll be heiress to influential Jewellery. So, it'd mean that she'd have ties all over the places: mining industries, local markets, other influential characters/members etc. I also would like her to have some connection to the more criminal oriented people and so.
- I'm all about for AUed/established CR. So if anyone wants a bitter rival, childhood friend, crush or anything between heaven and earth goes!
How can you run into my character? Um.. I'm giving the very vague: everywhere. She's new here so there's no routines or habits formed yet. She'll be staying at the Inn for time being, so that's a good place to start.
???:
her hair game is so strong.
Re: Juri Arisugawa
also I can't stop watching that gif

Anyway yes! I can see her being a benefactor for some of Ethlyn's charities :DDD they def could have some history though it.
no subject
anyway how would you feel about a fellow sword gay? i think gideon and juri could have some interesting cr in the au, with juri being a fencer heiress and gideon being a delinquent orphan who's instinctively good with a sword that she probably stole. idk if they'd be rivals or friends or frenemies, gideon's friendly with those who are genuinely kind back but also she has an instinctive distrust of The Rich
no subject
Anyway, give me the sword lesbian friendship.. or frenemies, because honestly that sounds what it'd be like lol. Maybe in AU-land they know each other through illegal duels held in the dark alleys with betting system and all involved. Maybe they had a match with a very unclear victory (Maybe they were interrupted and had to flee?), which has led them to be at odds with each other.
no subject

It's ok, Scott. She'll kick your ass in arcade too!
