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...
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
eastbound. If you want to mingle, you can also reply here with...

CONTACT: PM or
TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: The exact opposite of Five, I promise. Photographer and artist-type who likes birds. I take cream and sugar in my coffee.
CHARACTER: Number Five Hargreeves
CANON: The Umbrella Academy
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: He's fun! Guy with the power to manipulate space and time, who got trapped in a post-apocalyptic world for 45 years the first time he tried to time travel (he's 58 btw). Then he got picked up by the Commission (basically the time police) and worked as an assassin before he figured out how to go back to stop the apocalypse and broke his contract. But he screwed it up and reverted back to his 13 year old body. That old story.
Semi-crazy and sassy little SOB who teleports everywhere. Zero problems with murder or telling you how much better he is than you. You definitely want him on your team.
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?
You in danger, girl. If blinking away isn't an option: Five would stare and wonder if she's actually talking to him, or if she's got horrible eyesight. Pretty sure he's older than her, so that's always hilarious. Then smile that super friendly smile of his and make some remark that will probably make sure she remembers him. Hopefully the manager gets there quick enough.
ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?
Five does love naming things, but nah, those things wig him the eff out. He'd probably address it affectionately with generic names like "disgusting wheezebag" or "slimy sack of worm food", they're just gross. Maybe "Klaus." (Fun fact: in the comics he had a puppy named Mr. Pennycrumb. Give the poor guy a puppy, his lost childhood...)
ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? Initial escape plotting! I'll hop on that log in a jiffy but feel free to plot out anything with me I'll be so grateful.
ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? Oh my god where is his family?? Low-key constant freak out about not knowing where they landed after the portal they were supposed to go through, so plan on him being very motivated to learn and travel around the market and they're probably dead again aren't they... Laser focused here. What is eating and sleeping? Fully ready to rob a bank for coin if it gets him somewhere quicker. Probably a lot of thievery in his future until he figures something else out.

though really the thievery makes sense given where they're starting from, and outside the brothel the more so to nod toward "thanks for the crash space"
... but yes please make bank heists much, much easier on all of them, not attracting attention would be preferable even if they end up with inaccurate wanted posters
but also hey! here, a necromancer! who doesn't strictly talk to ghosts unless the ghosts are specifically yelling at him
no subject
(Just don't expect him to you know... actually care about them, this is entirely for his benefit. Better not to trust him too easily, but he is awfully cute and small.)
And in his mind, there's nothing easier than a bank heist. He can do everything and anything so just keep the car running.
no subject
(Cute, small, and vicious. Just like Jin Guangyao, only nowhere near as charismatic!)
Lmf okay picks up the donkey named Car and tells them to be ready to run
no subject
Lmao yes.... very discrete. Whatever you gotta do to carry it. He's fast, but he's not really made for hauling all this by himself you know.
no subject
... Wei Wuxian is not an improvement
This is where he'll be like, may I introduce you to Lan Wangji, he is Strong. And possibly called Car for this heist.
no subject
"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.
no subject
alksdjf Lan Wangji, also disinclined to talk: this is all fine and expedited, perfect
no subject
We all have places to be! Pleasure doing business will call the next time he needs help with the dead.
no subject
Sounds good don't call him just sort of shout out his name sometime it's preferred--
no subject
If he just comes when he shouts that's fantastic. So handy! He might just have to share a drink with him after all.
