FEBRUARY STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ February State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to February! We hope you enjoyed the Quantum Rail mission! While we're aware the ending of this mission is still being played out, we wanted to make sure our newcomers weren't arriving on the tail end of a large plot. To this end, we have worked with what all of you have submitted to decide a vague conclusion to the plot so that those still playing in it have wiggle room to interact, but we can get PCs back to Etraya proper! After the PCs approaching the King, remove him from the locomotive, those who have been residing on the train long-term will be taking over navigating it through the cosmos using the star charts from the sealed carriage. The train will, mysteriously appear close to Etraya once more, allowing them to drop off PCs on their little planet before they continue forward and attempt to find a new home for themselves. Details outside of this will be figured out as mission threads continue! We just wanted to give a little summary for those who may want to know how it ends before continuing forward with threads on Etraya proper. We know we have a few reward requests pending, and will get to them shortly! We are working on a few map updates and location page changes in support of today's mingle log, and plan on getting to rewards after we complete those. Additionally, we wanted to note that the Library Mission featured on the TDM was a success! All pieces of the pearl have been found. While this is true, we're still handing out rewards for those who search for pieces, so please feel free to continue submitting requests! We also wanted to note that we will be swapping to bi-monthly applications. This is to support our log schedule a little better, given we know the quick adjust from mingles to mission does discourage mingle participation! Applications will not be open for our March round, but will re-open April. We will continue to open applications on non-mission months going forward. We realize this announcement is a little sudden! In support of this, if anyone was planning a last minute application, we will keep them open until Saturday, February 15th to give anyone who had been planning on joining next month the chance to get in this month. Don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players. You are welcome to submit TDM threads for activity points if wanted. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals!

PLAYER: Joann, she/they
CONTACT: goodnonsense
ABOUT YOU: WHAT UP I'M BACK!!! I used to play Alex Rider and Edward Elric before their voices kind of faded but I'm happy to return. My other fandoms include Star Trek, Doctor Who, Teen Wolf, and a bunch more but I'm currently binging 9-1-1.

CHARACTER: Quentin Coldwater
CHARACTER INFO: OKAY SO Quentin is currently getting his postgrad at Brakebill's University for Magical Pedagogy, which means he's a magician. He's also a depressed introverted bisexual disaster whose special interest is a children's book series that's basically the Chronicles of Narnia without all the overt Christianity (which he just found out is based on a real place!!!). BIG sad wet cat energy.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: OK SO, he'd JUST found out that other worlds were real and now he's. in another world. this is basically The Big Important Quest that he's secretly wanted all his life. he's going to want to get into this, though how good he is at it will vary.

on basic levels, I want him to make friends and find people to care about. I also want to find a way to get him back on the anti-depressants his asshole of a dean manipulated him into not taking because in his canon, magic is fueled by pain and he needed to be juiced up. He also needs to figure out how to make his magic work in Etraya. it's a whole Thing.

omg SO excited to see Q! Huge fan of the show and I'm still mad that I can't rewatch it anymore.

Will he have to math out the new Circumstances while in Etraya? I'd love for Vanessa to catch him fucking about with his spells sometime. But beyond that I am sure she'd be drawn to his sad wet cat energy.

:D It moved to Tubi in the US! Though it's still kind of a bummer to me that it's not on my commercial-free Netflix.

And he will! He's going to have to do a lot of annoying legwork figuring out how to make spells work because he's on a new planet with new Circumstances, so she'd totally be welcome to find him and be like ???

[matermali]

So far all of her spell-casting has been verbal or been blood magic, so finger tutting will be a very intriguing watch

Don't mind the spooky goth just staring from the shadows

Oh, he is going to be SO fascinated to learn about other methods of doing magic!!
