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.

PLAYER: Val
CONTACT: honeyfeet
TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: Unemployed noodle from Germany who grumps a lot and draws sometimes, hi!

CHARACTER: Catra
CANON: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER:


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?

First: laugh in the woman's face. Second: mock her thoroughly. Third: threaten violence. If said violence gets enacted depends on how easily the woman backs down!

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

What, you mean "idiot", "pest" or "go away, you little cockroach" aren't names? How about Kyle?

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? NOPE I'm so far idea-less =D;;
ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? Nothing beyond "where am I", "where are my underlings" and "how do I get back to Etheria so I can Prove Myself to everyone I totally don't care about". Maybe who the next person she can manipulate/threaten into doing her bidding is.

I'm sorry if Merrill tries to pet Catra's tail without asking... Please don't slice her up. She likes cats, but she's never seen a cat person...!

[plentystrong]

asdkfjald I can make no such promises

Catra will not react well to this but that's why it's funny

[yourdistraction]

so soft but also so sharp!

[plentystrong]

very pointy from ears to toe claws

[yourdistraction]

Pointy-eared solidarity. Hat hunting is going to be a bench.

[plentystrong]

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

thanks, she hates it

[downswing]

...........................that picture, send help, I saw it hours ago and I'm still laughing.

[plentystrong]

........ did you not know the knife cat meme before

it's a classic

[weifinder]

i love catra this is my contribution

one stray cat who is not physically a cat nodding to another one who has cat ears and a tail what the heck even is this, you're sure you're not some kind of cat who cultivated to human form???

[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

[weifinder]

well people who act like lizards sure but people who are lizards literally say whaaaaaaaa

somehow it's much easier to deal with a person shaped thing doing all this than a four legged creature fighting you in the streets for survival but you know, das orphan life sometimes

[plentystrong]

it sure be like that sometimes

either that or you're just a literal child soldier. y'know, for kids
