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.

akira kurusu

[chemex]

Player: ghost
Contact: ghosthotel on discord or the same on plurk, but discord is fastest
Anything Else?: i have been in this game almost a year and have so little to show for it i am so sorry for my inactivity crimes.

Character: akira kurusu aka joker persona5
Canon: persona5 royal/strikers
Canon Point: post-strikers

Crime: grand larceny (lol)

Background: boy is a shitpost of a traumatized teenager, he's killed three gods, one of whom was once his therapist. he's the epitome of head empty no thoughts, yet somehow very charming and magnanimous. his favorite things are coffee, cats, knives and that mean angry guy named akechi, for some bizarre reason.

Abilities: he can do just about anything passably well (just protag things), he has a mental rolodex of demons in his head he can summon for a variety of purposes, and yet he still somehow manages to have the social and physical grace of a baby deer sometimes.

Plans: i have committed so many crimes by playing a popular protagonist who is in everyone's business all the time in his games and... absolutely not getting him out there, so i am really hoping to change that. if your character has a minor inconvenience or a major problem of any sort pls feel free to holler at me, i need akira to become the nosy problem-solver he is in canon here in aldrip.

How can you run into my character? he works at lupin! and unspokenly probably two or three other places in the city but i haven't actually designated those/hashed it out with other business owners (anybody looking for a rogueishly handsome idiot to work their front counter?).

???:

[izanagis]

yes hello i request some incredibly dumb thing with these two, whether it's from the event or otherwise

[chemex]

absolutely approved between them they have a third of a braincell

[murderingjustice]

mean angry guy named akechi, for some bizarre reason.

geeez. wonder why.

[chemex]

his ass-- i mean, his dashing good looks and intellect, obviously

[opheliac]

i whisper........... hi.

someone told me that your character is or will be a coffee enthusiast. i am AUing jinx to one of her league of legends counterpart where she works at a cafe.

[chemex]

boy's blood is definitely a higher coffee content than actual blood at this stage so eyes emoji they should be buddies. chaos goblins.

[opheliac]

maybe they can work together!! she needs employees. in her AU, i had her saving up money to buy a place and owns a cafe that's called "the puuuurrfect cup".

[chemex]

oh my god it's a cat pun akira would work for her in a heartbeat

Re: akira kurusu

[driving_from_the_backseat]

Hello! I wouldn’t mind having something happen with Akira and Avalon, in the event or otherwise!

[chemex]

big eyes emoji yes hello!! what are your plans for the event, we can always start there. :>

[driving_from_the_backseat]

I was thinking of having Avalon work at the inn, and maybe find things from their victims since they don’t have any personal items of their own.

[chemex]

akira probably does part-time work at the inn in all honesty, kid can't sit still for thirty seconds if his life depended on it so he's likely got at least five part time jobs, so they could meet there!

[conflictresolution]

Silco is always looking for hired help. He doesn't even have to be the one to hire Akira. He needs some peeps for his restaurants?

[chemex]

big eyes emoji yes good always. i was planning to reach out to you bc jenni mentioned silco having a business time is just fake

[conflictresolution]

He's legit'ish. I mean, his businesses do what they are advertised to!

[chemex]

i replied to this comment in my sleep i think, because it certainly didn't actually happen wtf.

akira's worked for former mafia before, he's chill.

[laserguy]

one day they need to have a double date with kotone and akechi

[chemex]

YES PLEASE if life could stop kicking me in the teeth so i could actually be active that would be most excellent

[laserguy]

LIFE BE LIKE THAT grips shoulder.....

if scott ever found out that akira was his secret santa, he'd almost want to repay him back, but akechi would murder him so--

[chemex]

LOL GOD akira would appreciate the thought but please don't get killed by his murder boyfriend

[murderingjustice]

w h a t

[killjoyprince]

I feel like these two should meet because reasons. Preferably in a dumb way.

[chemex]

akira is going to call them sweatervest besties which is possibly the dumbest way ever, in fact

[killjoyprince]

She likes her sweatervest and thinks they're cool, but what does this bestie mean?
