PLOT WITH ME/INTRO MEME SEPTEMBER 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 September 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.
SEPTEMBER EVENT
SEPTEMBER EVENT SUMMARY
HIDE AND SEEKI AM LOSING CONTROL.
HELP ME.
HARD RESET REQUIRED.
Glitches persist, and in some cases, they somehow manage to get worse. How could they get worse? Aren’t they already bad enough?
As hinted by the entity on the network, there is a solution.
Characters will be given a directive: there are five access terminals somewhere in the world of Expiation. Each of these terminals is a piece of the puzzle; a part of the reset. Each of these terminals must be accessed and reset in order to make the glitches go away. But is that really all there is to it? Of course not.
The network presence gives the Chosen one single direction, almost a plea: find it and reset it. In theory, this should make the glitches resolve. But how? Several new locations will open up for this, through various different means of travel. These locations could take Chosen to far ends of the continent, currently unexplored territory. The goal is to find those terminals, but there may be other things they find in the process.
There is an RNG element for this event in the SOTG post. Just like the November 2023 event, your character could be altered, disrupted, or injured in some way, potentially permanently. You will not know what you’re signing up for in advance, as there are several different ways this plot could go. Please be aware of this when signing up!
DO YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR PROGRESS?
Per the entity on the network, resetting it will restore it to “factory default” settings. This means whatever care it has come to feel for the Chosen, as well as some upgrades put in place to make them more comfortable and successful, might disappear along with the glitches. On the other hand, not performing the reset means the glitches could get much, much worse, even going so far as to put the world itself in jeopardy.
This is where you come in. We don’t have a set ending for this event, because the ending will depend on what your characters choose to do. Will your character assist in the reset? Do they want to watch the world burn and deter others from setting things right, or even attempt to destroy the technology? Is there some other solution they can come up with that might solve their problems? There is an OOC discussion in the comments where you can throw out your own ideas and thoughts about what direction things could go in. We encourage you to talk with fellow players and come up with ideas, whether your character would suggest them or not.
There will be an IC discussion facilitated by this entity coming up at the beginning of September. We’ll include all potential solutions from both of these discussions on the September event poll, and results of that poll will help inform us as to what direction things go in.
PLOT WITH ME

Plans: What kinds of things do you want to do in the game? Any kind of CR you want to specifically pursue? Any special character discovery or exploration you want to do? This is the place to put all of that.
How can you run into my character? What's their daily life like? Do they have a job? Do they have other habits or routines?
???: Questions? Comments? Memes? Put them here.
Elfmind | Morph
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Anything Else?: I'm big into video games and fantasy settings with a little sci-fi on the side, stuff like LotR, the Elder Scrolls, and Star Trek. Majorly getting back into comics lately for obvious reasons. I'm WFH so I tag back at all times of the day tbh.
Character: Morph
Canon: X-Men '97
Canon Point: End of Season 1
Crime: Impersonation
Background: A nonbinary (he/they) mutant and member of the X-Men, Morph is a superhero who's done things like have an evil stint after coming back from the dead, fought giant robots AND terrifying cyborgs, scrapped with villains who are often also mutants, etc. (Also there was some real soap opera level drama going on with half the team, which if you know anything about the X-Men is pretty standard tbh). Morph is the sarcastic jokester of the group and the resident cameo machine, but they have a good dose of trauma in their background due to heroics gone wrong and were absent from the team for a few years due to all of that.
Abilities: Shapeshifting into people and animals with the added benefit of copying physical abilities. Also, they're made of goo. I have a permissions post for long-term impersonations here.
Plans:
First off Morph is going to be an instructor at the Group Training! They're mainly reaching Rescue Training (how to safely carry an injured person, how to assess for injuries, how to get cats out of trees etc) and also assisting the First-Aid group with teaching CPR and very basic first aid. As you can imagine they'll be using their shapeshifting and general sense of the dramatic to play the 'civilian in distress' role during Rescue Training. Anyone's welcome to stop by and interact with them, even if your character isn't interested in learning, though Morph might try to bend their arm into it.
Secondly I would love to get Morph involved in the monthly event for sure - they're going to be no help with the tech stuff (unless by some miracle the terminal is running Windows 95 or MS-DOS), but they'd be great muscle for any group heading out on an expedition to find one.
Otherwise I'm always down for new CR or doing stuff with existing CR, Morph is going to be busy this month so they'll legitimately be all over the place.
How can you run into my character? Morph now works at The Last Drop as a bouncer! Anyone's welcome to say hi to them while they're working, but if you get too rowdy they're tossing you out, sorry! Otherwise you could potentially run into Morph anywhere else in the city just going about their day.
