Hi everyone! Welcome to Eastbound, where nothing goes as planned, and the caravan-chasing bear is taking its sweet time making a cameo.

Without further ado, the game issssssss...

OPEN (FOR BUSINESS?)

Applications nevertheless remain open until 23:59 GMT, 2 April (Friday) for any further newcomers. They can join in on the fun at any point in time!

Please doublecheck your character is on the TAKEN LIST, when you have a second! You are welcome to consider canon any samples you wrote in the Sa-Hareth setting as part of your application. Note: transfer ongoing application sample threads to the Eastbound communities if you want any future tags to them to count towards activity check requirements.

Take a look over our first event: you can now ask any mod questions linked to it, or ask any questions to your black little hearts' content.

Oh, and here's our first OPEN EVENT LOG! But feel free to start up your own, or debut the IC network community @ eastbound.

just dont ask about the hows Prince Charming and we'll see

[downswing]

He could use some silks too.

Also, it's cold, and that aggravates the scars on his back, so a bit of salve would not go remiss.

Oh, and Wei Wuxian's first translating device is forfeit.

For richer and for poorer, bae!!!

[weifinder]

...... Okay silks are gonna be hard, bae, but uh, he'll talk to the ladies and see what they can collectively do

He can do the salve, there are ladies he can speak with on that too LFMASDLKJ and

.............................. go develop light fingers for a translating device what

How are you handling the poorer so far, bae, it's not getting better yet!!!

[downswing]

bae, you better not bring lubrication oils for his back.


At least bring the bdsm recovery oils.

[weifinder]

Wei Wuxian shows up with scented ungents for post-flogging play and he's like hey! I brought you something, Lan Zhan!

[downswing]

'Marry out of the sect,' they say.

'Inbreeding is bad,' they say.

[weifinder]

Bae



The Lans produced Jingyi all on their own

[downswing]

And he is a treasure.

[weifinder]

He is the best of all treasures yes yes

And he'd be the one to show up with just straight lube and also a chicken leg like what I found the oils???

[downswing]

stfu and go get Wangji his stuff, and don't come back reeking of hookers.

[weifinder]

bae

they both reek of high class hookers what can he tell you

[binghua]

I've been informed I have uncle duties send help how does one uncle

[weifinder]

according to him you disappear for long stretches of time where you're believed dead then show up to help and eventually be stabbed by your nephew

... so basically neither one of them has a clue, feel like meeting your martial nephew and learning a bit more about the yiling patriarch who will be utterly confused at any indication he's raised the bodied dead before

[binghua]

well this sounds unreasonably complicated

also let's just confuse each other all around because how can you be the yiling laozu and NOT have stuck your fingies in necromancy

[thehoneybadger]

PLAYER: Rin
CONTACT: Chatvert
TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: 30-year-old nonbinary (they/them) writer, twitter addict, Twitch streamer, and current customer service agent. I have a cat named Pixel, who is a bigboy.

CHARACTER: Rachel "Honey Badger" Silva
CANON: Original Character
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Hot mess teenage superhero whose core competencies are punching real good and stealing your girlfriend. Has daddy issues, but you would too if your dad dosed you with super-soldier serum since you were a kid and was using you as scientific proof-of-concept for the military-industrial complex.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Here your character is, minding their own or someone else's business in a tavern of the Sa-Hareth merchants' arena, when in comes a particularly persistent middle-aged woman with an eerily trademark haircut, insisting your character should give her prompt, first-class and no-nonsense service now, or she'll speak to their manager. How does your character react?
Rachel would look her dead in the eye, say "No," and go back to whatever she was doing. The angrier this notKaren gets, the funnier she'll find it.

ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?
"Squishy".

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? Rachel is going to be coming to in the salt mines, because she is a salt mine, and she is very much on board with doing minor, petty crimes like pickpocketing because you need to do what you need to do to survive! But especially if you do them to people who suck.
ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? CIGARETTES.

[weifinder]

what, martial uncle, you don't remember meeting him while you were chasing down xue yang with song lan and there was that whole patting xue yang down moment? it was very oddly erotic let's forget it again it's fine

... also you're alive and not soul shattered, that's delightful

and he did! if necromancy were only about dealing with resentful energies that might be made to possess someone but really he wasn't into that side, discounting war time

... nothing gets to count as sensible during war

[thehoneybadger]

Rachel would probably get along great with Eleven, and most likely treat him like a little brother, 'cause look at all these weird adults dressed like it's the renfaire lol. At least he's a weird kid dressed like it's the renfaire!

[thehoneybadger]

I think these two are either going to be great friends or hate each other and I can't wait to find out which.

[binghua]

one of us has clearly hit our heads

[weifinder]

it's not me! I've only been the missing dead for sixteen years!

[bearshermark]

daw yes that sounds adorable. Embrace the weirdness. El is a friendly bean, so I def can't see why not.

[binghua]

I ain't never met your dead ass before, oh nephew mine

[weifinder]

... wait did you dead ass lose your memory coming back from the dead??!?!?

[binghua]

I'm not the dead one!!!

[weifinder]

im laughing at this trainwreck already, lets Bond these two
