Wrap Up

[dramatispersonae]

Thank youuuu for everyone that played in the swamp forest/ruined castle baby plot arc this week! I am admittedly terrible at exploration threads and flaked out a few times, but I stuck with it super hard tonight!! so thank you to everyone for their patience.

New Personae are now unlocked and may choose to start playing at any point, though obviously we encourage you to stagger yourselves slightly. ♥

As a quick overview since I know these posts got extremely hefty and I started late at night (sorry! I meant to start earlier today but my body rebelled): the first forest post in the afternoon of Day 55 and the second forest post during dusk on that day were mainly creepy marsh forest adventures with quicksand and trees with teeth, all of which will be sticking around and will be added to the info pages accordingly.

Just before dusk on Day 56, Maleficent de-booked Vanille. Around this time, there was a flash of green light; a cold wind blew across Aather for a bit, covering everything with leaves that were dead and gray and cold to the touch. Following that, during dusk, there was a strange distorted call to the Ring, though there was no Persona there to greet anybody. There were also no monsters out and about.

The call persisted, eventually leading people to the West, through the marsh forest, where a path had seemingly been ripped through by thorned vines. The paths eventually led everyone to a ruined castle covered with thorns and covered with a mist that put people to sleep. By solving a series of riddles and obtaining keys, a number of our intrepid heroes worked together to wind the pocketwatch that acted as a lock on the gate, rusting the chains and unlocking the castle gate. (I would encourage reading this last link, as there are descriptions and a viewable memory!)

Maleficent showed up shortly after and encouraged everyone to get the hell home, locking the castle behind her again. ♥ Night and the next day may proceed as normally, though please allow for flexibility with people doing their things, etc. Beauty and Maleficent will both be around for threads at some point tomorrow . . . by which I guess I actually mean today. Yes.

Again, thank you very muchhhh, I hope this was fun, and apologies for any points in which it was too rushed or too slow! I had a lot of fun and am always looking forward to what the players take out of this and choose to do with it. Let me know if you have any lingering questions or if I missed something in my summary (because I am excellent like that).

HELLO AATHER.

'Tis I, Emiri, player of your ex-Shinji Ikari and still sometimes-player of Goldie ahahaha. I return! But just a few general housekeeping things before I sleep and then run off to my con weekend!

Vriska's stats/info sheet is over here and I recommend that you give it a quick once-over if you're not familiar with Homestuck troll characters and intend to thread with Vriska! Or... are just on Citrine :D. (Hi guys.)

Second of all, I wrote up a mini-FAQ pre-empting questions and concerns about "that obnoxious Homestuck text crap," and how I intend to deal with it in Aather! So if that sounds like a thing that interests you, please read it over here.

That's all! Peace out! Or do some requisite shows of fake surprise for me! Either one! I'm off to sleep, good night!

Game Claim!

[deadlyfurniture]

Claiming Friday the 29th of July for a Sea Witch and ~new friend~ game! Mingle at 7 EST, game start at 8 EST. It won't be physically traumatic but it might not be very nice psychologically. There will be some kind of info gathering thing put up within the next week or so. You should be able to come in late or leave early, but depending on the timing of it it might affect how you're able to play the game (we'll gauge who can play when closer to the time since it's still the far off future right now).

Oh dang it's filling up fast...

Okay! Assuming there's no conflict of scheduling I'm missing here, I'll claim a Magic Mirror game on July 22nd, 4pm PST! No trauma, only high possibilities of awkwardness and humiliation!

Holy crap I'm playing a dude!!

[annieareyouok]

Hey-o, this is your former Twilight Sparkle, here with something very, very much like a My Little Pony. Trust me.

Anyway, I had a couple things I wanted to link for your reading pleasure.

The first is for any characters that are sharing their bodies/existence with a passenger or two, please see here about Cooper talking to them instead of you. It's 100% optional.

The other is an extra note for para-normally perceptive and/or crazy people here BUT PLEASE BE WARNED there are end-of-series spoilers in there, and you don't by any means whatsoever need to read it to play with Coop.

Anyway, this weekend is super busy, so look for me introing mid-to-late this coming week just as soon as I have time to make some icons without David Duchovny dresses as a woman in them.

babby's first game claim

[mythlology]

Iiiiiiiiif no one else is planning anything, I'd like to do a quick Narcissus take-home all-day on Thursday the 23rd (midnight EST to midnight EST!).

I cannot stress the trauma-free-ness of this game enough.

Game claim!! Jabberwock will be running a Cry Wolf game from August 13th to August 17th. :) (Note that it may end earlier depending on how the game goes!) Ousting times will be held between 9pm and 11pm EST (6-8 PST). First ousting will be on the first day; the first discussion post will go up at 12noon EST (9am PST).

It will be a game with some psychological trauma, so keep that in mind! I'll be posting sign ups and more details closer to the start date.
