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.

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

[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

[binghua]

one of us has clearly hit our heads

[weifinder]

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

[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]

[binghua]

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

[weifinder]

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"

[binghua]

[weifinder]

leans in dramatically, she insulted a man's beard it was worth insulting it's this sad little wisp of a thing that does nothing for his face except render him less attractive so i guess it does what it wants
