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.

no subject
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Anything Else?: My primary interests are video games (especially farming sims) and stationery, and my main fandoms are Project Moon and FFXIV!
Character: Dante
Canon: Limbus Company
Canon Point: Post-Murder on the WARP Express
Crime: Ignorance
Background: Local amnesiac with clock for head acting as executive manager of a bus full of weirdos who are all based on people from classic literature. They've been at this for around 9 months in-canon and are on the path to grow from spinelessness to competence. They're basically the bus's emotional support clock with self esteem issues. Works mainly on the back line. They can come off as awkward and fumbling, but they have a surprisingly observant and cunning side.
Dante comes from a game with pretty heavy horror themes (closer in vibes to Silent Hill than Junji Ito I'd say), so if you might not be up for that, please feel free to hit up my opt-in/opt-out post here.
Abilities: Two that would be relevant right now!
- Ability to slow time once a day
- Ability to sense powers that might be vaguely related to emotion and the human consciousness. I've got more of a breakdown on what that means in my Opt-In/Opt-Out post here.
They have some other things they can do with their Golden Bough that you can read about in the abilities section of their app, but I'll probably hold out on those for a bit until I get more settled in. If you're interested in doing something with those in the future, however, don't hesitate to give me a poke!
Plans: In the TDM they floated the idea of setting up a group to look into the technology of this place by setting up a fake technology club.
They know very little about technology please help themHow can you run into my character? Dante has never had to look for a job before in their life. Their executive manager position was literally handed to them in the middle of the woods. As such, they are now stuck trying to figure out how to get a job.
???: Behold, an actual thing they have said:
no subject
would they like a job collecting more materials for weird science? it pays in nothing at all--
no subject
I am absolutely on board with getting them up in that. And they can easily be persuaded into it as well!
no subject
and yay, a new assistant slash personal shopper. this how you make friends right...
no subject
Of course it is! It's basically how Dante got hired and met the twelve people they desperately hope are their friends, so I'd say it counts.

I'm not even convinced they have any clothes outside of their work clothes.

please talk to me about fake technology club, friend who also doesn't swear and uses random words!
no subject
Their idea is so half-baked it's kind of hilarious. They're basically pulling the idea from a very real technology/inventor's club that one of their coworkers, Yi Sang, was a part of and using it to try and gather people better at figuring tech out to try and figure out more about the probably-simulation that they're in. Dante themself doesn't actually have much experience with technology as far as we know in canon. (I also have no idea if this is already being done by anyone and neither does Dante).

But yes!! I quite enjoyed that interaction as well! Dante's not used to talking with optimistic and cheerful people not named Hong Lu, so I look forward to getting to tag with him again! Or any of your other characters as you like~
no subject
and yes good! obviously i've got luffy here, and then charles is..... optimistic and cheerful as well, actually, he's more like a golden retriever puppy and less of a chaos entity like luffy is c': but in any case i look forward to tagging w you more!
