MAY STATE OF THE GAME & ARRIVALS

[etrayamods]

⏵ May State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! As previously mentioned, we have changed our player cap to ten new players per application round. This will be in effect until we hit under 60 players. With May's round of applications, we're currently at 78 players. Given our new player limitations, we will be moving our TDMs to every three months. Our next TDM will go up on June 13th, and the one after that will go up on September 19th. To make sure players can keep TDM threads as game canon, we're going to be changing our TDM formatting a little! This will become more clear when our next TDM goes live. Mingle logs will continue going up during months when we do not have a TDM. These will be simplistic logs with a couple of prompts to play with. As a friendly reminder - Etraya's network does not have private filters! If it's posted on the network, it's accessible to everyone. The exception to this are threads happening in character inboxes. There is a player plot in progress to develop something for player characters, but as it has not been released yet, it's still inaccessible. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there are any locations you would like to see in particular, please feel free to use the provided form so we can get it added! Additionally, please check out our CALENDAR noting the dates of the upcoming mission and Activity Check due dates. For new characters, activity is simply responding to the ACTIVITY CHECK page using the formatting provided. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals! Please use the below form to introduce yourself, tell us what you’re looking forward to, and CR you want to play.

PLAYER: Amy
CONTACT: mikomitears
ABOUT YOU: I am into ... stuff. I like to hop around a bit. I like watching a lot, reading a lot! I like some MCU, some DC, a little bit of older stuff like Teen Wolf, Riverdale, Roswell, Penny Dreadful, TVD. I watch way too many things for my own good. I've slowly (achingly so) started diving into comics because of this great, great place, but I'm terrible at them. I do enjoy what I've read so far. I'm already here with a Night shaped bird of the Titan variety, but I thought to bring in someone different. Oh, did I mention I ramble. :)

CHARACTER: Natasha Romanoff, MCU
CHARACTER INFO: Natasha finds being here not even remotely fun. This is not the afterworld she signed up for people. She's still not entirely certain that this isn't a type of hell. Though, if it was hell there'd be no sweet spiderman, and 'different' Clint to be awkward with. Each of whom she's met so far (if TDMs are being kept?) She's very interested in finding where any information holes might lead. She doesn't trust anything, and is finding it hard to stabilize after sacrificing herself for the universe only to wake up and find a hologram telling her they're all in danger. Natasha wants to call BS

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Nat is into it all. She wants to dive into action, mystery, horror, maybe even some magic. She's not here to sit still, that will drive her nuts. She's looking for friends, but I have a feeling that while she might be open at first, she will find herself closing down and questioning all her initial reactions due to her background and life experiences. Overall: Friends, Romans, Countrymen. She's looking for all CR, and I'm excited for it.
OTHER:

[reconstruction]

hellooooo let me just say im v excited to see where their cr goes
i also have mr cannibal as well which is another level of wild

[blackhourglass]

I'm interested in seeing where it goes as well. She's not used to trust, but he seems so genuine. It should be fun to play with them.

Oh! I would love to play with mr. cannibal as well. Both my characters would have fun with that. She's tougher than Dick, but he has fun with mind games.

[reconstruction]

connor is the most genuine not-human you'll meet!! (kind of, sort of, idk...he's nice)

yes goooood. looking forward to it

[mockingbirdy]

Bobbi will be excited for more shield ladies. Even more excited if they give Clint a hard time.

[blackhourglass]

YES! I love this. This makes me laugh so hard. They will enjoy making fun of him. I am READY. She's still trying to figure it all out because she just fought her Clint and flung herself off a cliff to the death in order to help save the world. (cause they had to die someone they love) Meeting this Clint off the bat put her in shock.

But! When she finds out Bobbi exists, something he hasn't mentioned. It will be on!! :)

[mockingbirdy]

Rude Barton not telling people about your ex-wife!!! He and Bobbi are now one equal grounds with exes from mcu universe who are not their exes over there with nat and peter to be confused about.

If Bobbi ever finds out about Vormir she'll still probably think Nat did the wrong thing.

(I think we've played together a few times on bakerstreet though with my bucky journals)

[blackhourglass]

I know! Nat got weird on him though. I think she freaked him out. She started to feel odd about half way through the conversation when it really started to sink in that she was no longer in Kansas and he wasn't her Clint. Not that the looks weren't enough to go by.

Though the way he kept dissing Bucky. Then talking about what he said about the other Clint. She was like. Dude. Barnes doesn't know me or him. Chill. Bobbi and Nat will get along eventually, when Nat settles some. I think she's gonna take adjusting time.

(OH! That's your Bucky! I'm pretty sure my Nat and my Cap love him. No. I don't have a cap. nope. not me. shhhh. :x)

[mockingbirdy]

Ha. when they get to know each other Bobbi will just assure her that literally shit gets weird whenever anyone talks to Clint. "did things get awkward with clint? that's just clint" she loves his dumb ass but he is difficult!!!

come hang out with bobbi and sharon and daisy (who is maybe still also dealing with wtf this isn't my bobbi???) and be confused shield ladies. they can fill her in on all the weird details about everything

(oh might be a different one then? i have daybreak19 / winterstarpoint !)

[blackhourglass]

It will be a new and fun time for her to figure it all out, because she knows that they will still be friends, because she refuses to accept anything else. No one accused her of not being stubborn.

I'm here for her learning to hang with the new and different shield ladies. she won't know what to do with real friends. I mean she's only got clint and steve back home by the end. it's sad. Yelena is there (and here), but it's going to throw her so hard.

(it must have been only her. I went and looked. We remember adoring daybreak19 <3 only played briefly with winterstarpoint, was actually going to hit him up on a meme recently, but I got distracted)

[fourthwalled]

Hiiii

Definitely gonna want to toss Wade at her at some point!

[blackhourglass]

Howdies!!

Yes! Unequivocally, yes. She would love him thrown at her. I don't know if she'll catch him, but it would be funny (I'm sleepy, time for bad jokes. so sorry?)

[fourthwalled]

asddfghjkk now I'm just imagining Wade trying to do trust falls with all the marvels and having them all let him bite the curb.

[blackhourglass]

dkfa;lsjf !!! That would be too much. I'd like to say Nat wouldn't let him fall, but it's always a possibility. I never know her mood. He could sweet talk her, or make her angry so she'll step on him.

[fourthwalled]

He will absolutely try to sweet talk her... but if stepping on him is on the table, well-- maybe he will try to make her angry!

[blackhourglass]

There are other unique situations where she might step on him, but you know. That's not what they're here for and all that. It's all about the mission. It will be a fun and unique friendship! This I am very certain.

[notmyfuture]

Hellooo I really need to look at the TDM more often! Steve will be THRILLED and relieved to see Nat. (He might also cry a little, so what if he hasn't really processed her death before appearing here).

[blackhourglass]

Oh man!! STEVE! She knows that Bucky is around somewhere from Clint, but he never mentioned Steve, so she's going to flip and cry a little too. He's the closest person to her that she knows and trusts, so there are going to be necessary bonding time where she decides that she actually is a woman for a few moments and wants big hugs.

She is also processing her death, and this makes it not easier. So, they will talk. Yes.

[notmyfuture]

He's here for all the hugs and talking. And also being a little mad that she never mentioned her sister, who he met when she ALSO died on him during their first mission here.

[blackhourglass]

Well she might have mentioned her if the movie had been made before Endgame. Ha. I have a hardtime thinking that she didn't mention something of I had someone, but she's gone. Maybe. like blipped, cause they were so close at the end. He can be mad though. It's okay. She killed herself, and ack! Nat doesn't even know Yelena's here.

[seenitall]

would she like to adopt an underage teenage spy

asking for a friend

[blackhourglass]

A friend, huh?

I bet she might. She's not used to adopting young people, but apparently here she might get into the habit of it. She's very good at training. It's what she did before she got here, and obviously has a soft spot for spies.

[seenitall]

well obviously Alex himself is not a spy because that would be ridiculous but maybe hypothetically he knows someone who it turns out is from a family of spies and was basically trained to be a spy from birth and then a shady department of MI6 was like



and blackmailed him into working for them but not officially because that would be horrifically illegal




and also that someone is him.

[blackhourglass]

Well, depending on your fandoms. You either know or don't that she was sold into the Russian Red Room spy program for little girls by her super amazing father. She's been training since forever in everything as well. They used her young, and used her well. Her degree? A hysterectomy. It's all very well and good in Russia. :3

Nothing illegal to see there. She'd have no qualms with him actually being a spy. No shocks or shockwaves in her life. Sixteen is pretty old. He shouldn't have to deal with it. Obviously. I'm sure we can event smush them together.
