lostcompass | 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.

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?

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

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: What is the self anyway. Taiwanese-American baking enthusiast who thinks I'm funny. Love to be gay and do crimes.

CHARACTER: Bai Mingyu // Gabriel Bai
CANON: OC
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Vapid socialite who just wanted to coast through life by being very beautiful and very tragic turns into Batman if Batman were really petty and evil because some very bad people kidnapped his boyfriend.
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?

Mingyu takes command of the situation, all smiles and flattery. He asks about her day, compliments her hair, teases her with what school she goes to, surely she must still be in university? He can see she's terribly frustrated, he's here to listen. Once he's figured out what she wants, he'll do a quick assessment on how easy this task is to fulfill, make a cost-benefit analysis to him, and either make her happy or ruin her whole day, depending.

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

Xiao Gui. (小鬼)

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? He's starting a band with the other resident princes. No? Fine. Failing that, he's here to sass everyone who looks at him sideways, extort English speakers for his Chinese translation services, and browbeat spoiled brats into shape. I made a meme. He can also forcibly rip your past trauma out of you if he's trying to decide if you can be trusted, or gets bored for some reason.
ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? Not really. Fox has been missing for a while, is probably dead. He's going to work towards fixing that as a general goal, but the only urgency lies in the ongoing deterioration of his general willingness to continue existing. Which isn't immediate, so that's fine. He's just going to get on his hustle and wait for his morosexuality to inevitably bite him in the ass.

Please rip the trauma out of Moran at one point, Mingyu. but also let's be frenemies.

why are we enemies where does the enemies part come in. oh is it because of the trauma

listen we both know they're going to squint at each other for a while for no reason just because.

He's.............. Christopher Nolan Batman?

Mingyu's PB is unfairly attractive, send help.

I'll be real I'm a fake fan I can't tell the difference between the Batmans.

IVE BEEN BULLYING THE GANG WITH HIS FACE ALL DAY LOOK AT HIM. Let him make his cash money at the brothel. Being beautiful is his #1 life skill.

threatens u with rose again for good measure
