APRIL CR MEME

[groundrules]

Salutations! Just a few notes before the main event:

■ we're a tighter crew than originally anticipated for April, following some hiatuses, so we'll be adjusting this month's calendar timeline. We'll have a check-in below if anyone wants follow-up, cues or clues, or has questions about what they discovered in the latest & greatest. We'll have a think about a second check-in in late April.

■ Don't forget your NPC threads, if you signed up for one! Generally, please share any interesting discoveries that have emerged from them or from plot rolls with the entire group — a creepy network post a day keeps the... doctor away and gets everyone killed.

■ Check out the latest character housing arrangements!

■ In case you've missed it: PM if you'd like a(nother) invite to the game discord server. Invites typically go out when you join, but dreamwidth notifications aren't always friends.

And now:

I don't currently have a TL for him but I plan to fix that here in the next day or so! So no worries about running out of steam on yours! I will link back (and edit this comment) once I get it up and running!!

[unswervingcompanion]

I will be posting a TL here in a day or so and I can let you know if you want to come cause some chaos ^^

ETA: Here!

[ensanguines]

is any version of ur dad ever good

[ensanguines]

both a terrible idea for drastically different reasons, both likely to end in a death. most excellent.

[ensanguines]

hello

[ensanguines]

SON. SONS both you and izumi are sons. i need to do my tags.

[consignation]

god he might fall for winnie's bullshit someone save him.

jiang cheng and souji will end in death, but maybe jiang cheng desperately trying to fix an endless leak will garner some souji sympathy since he was losing his mind about a cat towards the end

[consignation]

his life is a joke, xingchen. so no. he hates jokes, and his life. but please be nice to him the world is mean and cruel. daozhang soft and warm.

[consignation]

sdkjfskfhs poor little meow meow im dying

however

re: his issues

NOW YOU KNOW

[consignation]

that's pretty much the universe's favorite pastime in his world so absolutely

[reparo]

now i know - all the more reasons for him to have some more good influences (?)

[somebadnews]

I've let them know this option! It will be obvious that his room is suddenly boarded up and there's noises... possibly wolves trying to get in etc. Or the ghosts gossiping idk.

There's plenty of food and water in there because he's been hoarding, but Five didn't think of everything. They are totally safe there though so the plan worked.

[somebadnews]

He needs so much more information about that. Because his family definitely did way worse to the timeline but also why.

Please do ruffle his hair. He can react in so many ways based on the context and what he needs out of her at the time, but it's just fun to watch a kid try to contain his rage. He deserves it.

[downswing]

I just want more of you, I WILL TAKE IT IN WHATEVER SHAPE

[downswing]

I'm so sorry you had some misfortunes visit you, friend :( Really hope RL improves for you.

[downswing]

Yes, good, SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.

[techmaturgy]

OH....yes please. he might be a little "who is this sassy lost child" at first but as soon as he realizes Five can keep up with physics talk then I think they will get along just fine. I also think he would be really interested in the whole "displaced from time" thing just on an academic level, lmao, and a 2am meeting sound extremely appropriate.

VERY GLAD TO HEAR IT'S THE CHILL HOUSE. I should be doing some kind of intro within the next few days so I will keep an eye out for you and yours!

[techmaturgy]

Yeah!! I'm hoping to do a Real Intro in the next day or so, maybe there will be a ditch involved

[downswing]

That's........ the............ spirit.........................

[techmaturgy]

so much engineering.If he's a tinker or otherwise makes neat things Viktor will be extremely appreciative and also will catch him up.

[unswervingcompanion]

Updated!

[downswing]

\o/

[blackscales]

Extremely fair I mean who enjoys volcanoes, Wrathion understands as a normal human person himself who definitely doesn't like volcanoes

ANYWAY I guess his topics of interest are like, undead Lords (Beastmaster and Huntress currently, and at the point this happens he wouldn't know about the shrines/water necessarily I think? But if there's any overlap timewise, also the White Wanderer dude who seems capable of warding off their power) and preventing child kidnappings, though that's a bit tied up.

For an easier mode thing he's also just generally interested in local materials (or information on them) he can potentially use to add to his nerd crafting (broadly, enchanting/blacksmithing/jewelcrafting/tailoring) supply catalogue, because one day might need to craft in a hurry and he's not really experienced too much in local materials and their properties or how local magic behaves. Better to stock up and practice before it gets urgent.

[groundrules]

Sure, some info for you (please try to share it out with other folks). To be transparent, this won't be everything the villagers know, as have to keep some info tucked away for other players, but you're not dealing with lies or untruths.

— Beastmaster: he is a patron of the village, formerly a huntsman. They can confirm the information in Beitang Moran's post, that the Beastmaster was previously known as Hyang-Won. He visits periodically and shares meats and hunt with them. They believe his influence is part of why there are limited animal attacks against the village. He also receives yearly tribute from Ke-Waihu and Ke-Waiar, but this transfer is peaceful.

— Huntress: they don't know who Wrathion is talking about.

— not many people recall the white wanderer, as he didn't draw attention to himself. Those who do remember he originated from the west and was generally unimpressed with what he found to be the excess zealotry of Ke-Sanwon's villages. He was not a religious man, but some question whether the physical frailty and sickness he displayed didn't perhaps sour his spirit towards the beauty of the world.

— there are definitely jewellery forges and standard forges, and Wrathion is welcome to get in touch and try to barter for materials. But he'll have to offer something in return. Alternatively, he can try to scavenge the volcano/mountain. Anything you can reasonably assume he found in the forest, go for it.

CAN'T WAIT

also I started watching the show so... yeah that dude is good for messing with
