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 July 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.

JULY EVENT

JULY EVENT SUMMARY

DATABREACH

The system has always been unstable, but in early July, that instability reaches a tipping point. Glitches, which have long since been part of the world of Expiation, become more severe and more difficult to ignore, affecting player characters in addition to the setting itself. These glitches can manifest in many ways, including the following ideas:

- Your character may, for small periods of time (ie several hours, probably up to a day or so), be glitched into an “alternate” version of themselves. These can be canon alternates (ie a bad ending, alternate timeline, mirrorverse, etc version of them) or can be any sort of AU made up by you. We encourage you to get creative with this!

- Your character may be affected for short periods of time by previous in-game events. See the EVENTS tag in the log community for ideas.

- Your character may be subject to the more “typical” glitch effects that the setting of Expiation has experienced in the past. Disappearing and reappearing, losing parts of themselves (was their hair always so pale? Or maybe their arm has gone missing? etc!)

They may also lose memories, items, powers, or abilities for various lengths of time.

These are just suggestions! If you have other ideas for how these “glitches” could manifest for your character, we encourage you to run wild with them.

GNOSIA INFECTION PLAYER PLOT

During the third week of July, the instability in the system becomes catastrophic, resulting in a cascading series of failures that ultimately releases a Gnosia infection that can affect any number of characters. This event will be opt-in. You can find further information on the Gnosia infection plot here!

The Gnosia infection will last for one week, but the glitches will continue for the foreseeable future.

This…is fine? Hmm. Maybe not so much. Maybe this is not actually fine.
