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.

Would you like Silco and Ekko to have their first in-game meeting this month, or should they skirt each other for as long as possible?

[howyouseit]

*GRABBY HANDS* <3

You know I want me some CR with these two ASAP. Given he's been informed by Caitlyn that Silco is here and what transpires whilst he's been hiding out in the Firelight's safe haven mending his wounds he will likely be pissed to see him but far less inclined to go off the rails and do anything drastic right off the hop unless provoked. LOL

[conflictresolution]

You know Silco is going to beak off at him, right? Because it's Silco and his words are his only weapons?

But yes, let them meet and have a great chat about all the good times they had together back in their world. Also, sorry-not-sorry about your adoptive dad; he started it with the pipe.

[howyouseit]

I wouldn't have it any other way in all honesty. xD

*Good times* you say...yes...right. I'LL SHOW YOU A PIPE. Wait- Jinx has that too. DAMN IT. LMAO

[conflictresolution]

Excellent. They get to try to figure out how to have a truce with each other. I bet that will be a task and a half.

Jinx has already written her name on the pipe, so it's technically her property now.

[howyouseit]

An uneasy truce that is for damn sure. Perhaps they can bump into each other when they have to make their way to one of the final safe pockets of the city limits towards the end of the GNOSIA event? :O

NOT THE PIPE TOO, CURSE YOU JINXXXXXXXX.

[conflictresolution]

I mean, Silco is watching from the roof among the flowers while the world burns and everyone is murdering each other. Does Ekko want to accidentally join him? Stop and smell the roses so to speak?

Graffiti for everything!!!! That's her M.O.

[howyouseit]

I am TOTALLY down for an accidental meeting on the rooftops that will be an epic location for a first meet up. ^^

I MEAN HE LIKES GRAFFITI TOO SHE IS STEALING HIS BIT.

[conflictresolution]

LOL random rooftop meetings and Silco just being all "oh, you're back. be less useless this time."

They can have a couples argument over it XD

[howyouseit]

GOD. He'll want to shove him off that damn rooftop right then and there. LMAO

[conflictresolution]

Please, just seeing Silco will make Ekko want to yeet him off the rooftop.

[howyouseit]

WHERE IS THE LIE!?

[conflictresolution]

THE CAKE IS A LIE

[howyouseit]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
