ooc intro & the likes!

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.

How does your character react?

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

CHARACTER: Wei Wuxian
CANON: The Untamed
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: You too could befriend a necromancer learning the embodied dead gig for the first time ever! He's charming, he fakes it until he makes it, and ready to make it into the necromarket because all y'all need funding and have you seen his bae? The one in all the silks? Look they both like lovely materials but uh. One is used to slumming it out of necessity. With whines. Lots of whining and creative problem solving skills. Also being hot and a hot mess at once!

How does your character react?

A moment of dead eyed stare before he smiles nice and wide and meaningless and, "I see, I see," before passing along the train to the manager of the brothel, more than happy to act the ignorant fool as to not have to deal with this longer than he has to. Quite probably if there's a way to lift something off her in the process... he'll uh. Try.

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

Why would anyone think this man has naming sense? Probably Baihe.

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? Haven't hit up the plotting post as I'm going in order, but I will toss him into escaping via the Salt Mines, where his biggest moments of learning will involve a. finding a ratty mostly white blanket and b. encountering zero supplies in the salt mines beyond half a barrel of oil and a lantern with a broken glass panel that keeps threatening to make the flame go out. Once at the brothel he's also going to be leaning into some boyish charm, by which I mean picking up extra odd jobs specifically of the kind where he's getting out of the brothel because he's got some light fingers and overall grifting to get up to, and somehow convince Lan Wangji to wear borrowed robes while getting his cleaned.

ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH?
HOW TO GET IN WITH THE NECROMARKET LMF cripes he's got to get into a whole new sort necromancy from the kind he knows but with startling clarity it's blatantly apparent it is a Thing Here.

'Boyish charm.'

This God damned husk.

Look if you smile and flirt it pays off sometimes, especially when you have no wandering hands and also

are you planning to step up huh

...........he needs a comb.

.................... I'm making that a prompt now

Out to get bae a comb, as you do

Better not be cheap.

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

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!!!

...... 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!!!

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

At least bring the bdsm recovery oils.

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

'Inbreeding is bad,' they say.

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

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

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

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

one of us has clearly hit our heads

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

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

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

I'm not the dead one!!!

im laughing at this trainwreck already, lets Bond these two

plz

xingchen is a single dad with no kids right now, he needs to build up his street urchin family again

what a good pull point for him... takes his blind hands in hand and

........................................ pats them LMFALKSJD "thanks for the inspiration about lying to a bro, uncle, it was great"
