ooc intro & the likes!

[groundrules]

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.

omg do it do it ahahahaha

[yourdistraction]

this is an all inclusive brothel! no judgment amongst....undead friends.

[weifinder]

... a-are they offering undead services i have so many questions

[yourdistraction]

it's ok so does merrill. she will voice all of them.

[soulsrob]

all smiles and "This Is Fine" energy

winnie like should we....do something about those undead things?? like they aint doing anything to US but........

[weifinder]

bless that she's going to say everything that will make even the shameless one here go "oh gods why this"

[yourdistraction]

She just makes a lot of observations...

[somebadnews]

Five doesn't miss Klaus at all and being reminding of him does nothing to his heart, this is fine. That dumbass has got to be around here somewhere not even worried...

"Pleasure to meet you, now let's get on with this I don't need your life's story!" Oh my gosh he's so pushy. Please have all the patience. But this will work out, leave it to the little guy and their money troubles will be over.

[weifinder]

so many not helpful ones too i love her MERRILL IS THE WORST ONE TO BRING ALONG WHEN TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE

[yourdistraction]

she is truly sorry!!! it doesn't help, though.

[weifinder]

we should definitely go do something useful and sneaky while we can casually pass by and i'm cold af so really not registering to them either, Carry On, We're Being Sneaky

or kill undead but really it's all context dependent

[weifinder]

I'm sure let's just check he's not like, drugged up, drunk, pursuing a whole new cult incidentally, or trying to find his dead love of his life and convince him not to go to war this time

alksdjf Lan Wangji, also disinclined to talk: this is all fine and expedited, perfect

[weifinder]

it does not but we love her anyway

[somebadnews]

Thank goodness for that. 100% positive he's more useful even after they just met. (Still gonna look for his bro though, sigh family he can't trust that you won't die if he's not constantly saving you...)

We all have places to be! Pleasure doing business will call the next time he needs help with the dead.

[weifinder]

He gets it, family is important and you do a lot more for them than you might admit on a surface level! Including saving them when they don't ask to be saved. Repeatedly.

Sounds good don't call him just sort of shout out his name sometime it's preferred--

[somebadnews]

And stopping them from ending the world. They really can't do anything without him, it's a wonder they managed for 17 years. (Or maybe it isn't... I mean look at them.)

If he just comes when he shouts that's fantastic. So handy! He might just have to share a drink with him after all.

[somebadnews]

Dear Five, please apologize to Merrill for being a jackass, she's doing her best. (He won't ever.)

Their second meeting is going to be so fun. "How did you get back... I mean. Good to see you."

Wait until he finds out she could actually be useful someday. Just casually rewrites history and reminds her how they bravely escaped together.

[plentystrong]

an excellent contribution

excuse you?? she's a normal person, what are you looking at, punk? and you haven't even seen her octopus squadmate

[weifinder]

look if he was on her world his face at most the people there not looking Just Human would be UUUUUUUUHHHHHHH

but yes he should have to work with her sometime and also bless that she's cat and not dogra okay

dogs are the worst

[plentystrong]

meanwhile a world with Just Humans would be super weird to catra I think

idk how catra feels about dogs but I don't think it's particularly flattering

[weifinder]

right where is the variety if you're all homo sapiens, truly another strange place

dogs are the worst okay, they have teeth, they're loud, they bite

[plentystrong]

very strange what do you mean you don't have lizard people

................. in fairness. all of that can be said about catra

[plentystrong]

so this might be a very explosive combination and I'm all for those

[plentystrong]

RIGHT and catra might actually need a hat to hide those ears so she draws less attention

thanks, she hates it

[somebadnews]

1000% yes. I have a feeling they will meet... soon!! And totally get each other right away because Five gets along with everyone. (lmao this old-man-child, hope you like getting bossed around!)
