PLOT WITH ME: MAY 2025
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 May 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.
MAY EVENT
MAY EVENT SUMMARY
YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE
All may seem quiet for a little while… but closer to the 12th, characters may notice snakes trying to get their attention in their day-to-day lives.
Break the sssystem.
Break the sssystem. The Garden awaitsss.
What do these snakes want? Why, they want characters to commit crimes – they can’t stop all of them, they say. If they overload the system with crimes, then surely it’ll break. Come to the Garden, they say. They’ll see everything and more. Steal, cheat, maim, kill. That’s just examples of the things they’ll tell the Chosen to do. But they must do these things to other Chosen– the locals don’t count. Once they commit these crimes, they get marked on the back of their hand. It’s a tattoo of a snake, of course.
Some snakes even give a target with a specific crime for them for an even bigger reward. This is an RNG portion of the event! There’s a TL DOWN HERE if you’d like to sign up! They may range from something silly to something serious, so please keep it in mind when signing up. These sign-ups will only last until the fifth, so we can RNG, give assignments, and give everyone a chance to plot.
THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Outside of Aldrip and deeper into the woods where very few go, there seems to be a very tall fence surrounding… something. Those that can fly can’t see inside. Those that can climb can’t climb over it. It’s almost as if something is obscuring it. Not an outright barrier, but there’s nothing to be made out if looking in from above. There’s just shapes. Those that try to force entry will get bitten by a snake and get very ill, and it’s up to the player on how ill they would get. There’s even a chance for character death here, as well, if they so desire. Chosen with their snake escorts with the tattoos on the back of their hands will find that the gates open for them easily, and they can step in. It smells cool and fresh when they get inside, and it really does look like paradise.
At least, for a moment.
Only a few minutes into characters being in the garden characters start to hallucinate bad endings. What’s the worst case scenario that could happen in their world? What’s their most feared outcome of what would happen here? Well, they’re seeing it. Visions of anything and everything that can go wrong will dominate their vision, as well as destruction of what appears to be other cycles. Will that happen to this cycle, at some point?
The snake escorts follow, still hissing into the Chosen’s ears.
Thisss is what happensss when the entity winsss. Destruction…
There is no good end for you, so long as the entity is “alive”.
THOSE NOT ENSNARED
The Chosen that don’t buy into the snake’s promises will be able to kill them in a traditional way. They’re just snakes, after all. Snakes can only tempt, but until the tattoo appears on the back of their hand, they still have the ability to “opt-out”. These Chosen may try to snap their fellows out of it, but once they get their tattoos, it’s really hard to convince them not to go into the Garden. In fact, in most cases, it’s downright impossible. Chosen attempted to be drawn away from the snakes may start screaming as if they’re in physical pain, or get combative. They really must get to the Garden, you see.
Oh, if only there was a McGuffin……..
NOTES:
We’re going to extend this event icly to ten days. So instead of a wrap-up in the event log, the poll result post will stand in place of that.

Pronouns: she/her, they/them
Contact: PM, I accept adds on
Anything Else?: I like videogames, podcasts about the most melted conspiracy theories in the world, cats, dogs, cooking, and horror novels. I'm actually a fat little bird irl 🐥
Character: YoRHa Unit Attacker, Type 2. She goes by the moniker "A2."
Canon: NieR: Automata
Canon Point: Post The End of YoRHa
Crime: Infanticide
Background: Once upon a time, a bunch of depressed nihilistic robots created a whole mythology about their human creators, and then began a war on Earth, one that never ended. A2 is created at the tail end of this endless, grueling cycle of neverending death and despair. She was once a bright-eyed and optimistic Captain of an elite strike squad which had a single mission that, unbeknownst to them, they were never meant to live through. Thanks to her friends, A2 lived bitch! And she's been absolutely crushed by survivor's guilt and despair ever since, the last of her line and the only one of her kind who knows that their mission to protect their beloved humanity is one big cosmic farce that's at the expense of them and their enemies both. By postcanon, A2 is the one who is able to break this cycle of pointless sacrifice by sacrificing herself. To what end? Well, that's up in the air. A future is not given to you, after all. It is something you must take for yourself.
Abilities: A2 is a little murder ballerina. I've gone through this song and dance before so I'll make it quick:
She's strong as hell. She doesn't look it at all, but she can easily tank through the most brutal combat and comes out of it still swinging. Her ability to power through damage is due to the high tech nanomachines that heal her body and just her own sheer tenacity. In addition, she is incredibly fast, elegant and graceful, a master swordswoman, and as a creation designed to kill, is both adept and creative in her methods of doing so.
A2 doesn't need to eat (though she is able to), can survive perhaps forever as long as she's in an environment with sunlight and water available, doesn't need to breathe, and rarely needs to sleep. She doesn't age. The black box in her chest is a mini nuclear fusion reactor, which she can use to self-destruct and cause a large scale explosion, which is what she did last month.
In addition, she has her Tactical Support Pod who is responsible for navigation, tossing her places she could otherwise not reach, and long-range ballistic support.
Plans: A2 has been through a lot this past few months, so I'd like this month to be a little less emotionally fraught for her. Some things of note:
How can you run into my character? As a member of the Defense Squad, A2 patrols through Aldrip and the Forest on a regular basis. She does have a schedule but only she really knows it, so being jumpscared by her suddenly popping up somewhere in the middle of the night with her freaky glowing robot eyes is likely a common occurrence. She is a voracious reader so she enjoys the Library and has recently taken to running stupid little
sidequestserrands for the "natives" in order to curry favor and get more supplies for the Clinic, primarily. She can be seen at the Dojo and the Farm semi-regularly, and never sleeps so you can find her at odd hours. Sometimes she'll be seen walking with Minato's magic(?) dog, Koromaru, who she communicates with like he's people.???:
