⏵ March State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello and welcome to Etraya! We were very excited to see all the players interested in our new game when we put up our interest check, and are glad to have you guys join us! Thank you for applying to join Etraya and giving our game a chance. At this point, we have 35 Characters who have applied in for our first round. Given that applications do not close until 3PM PST today, there is still time to get in any last-minute applications! As a heads up, we have updated our FAQ to reflect that mod posts, including mission posts and OOC intros, will be posted at or before 3PM PST on the day they are meant to go up. We don't want to give ourselves a strict time, given we appreciate having the flexibility to make last-minute changes as needed to suit our player base, but do promise we will get them up by 3PM PST. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there's any location 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.

HELLO VINCENT I AM HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD says guy tangentially responsible for it nearly getting destroyed like three times over to begin with

i love the ff7 cast we've accumulated it's like the "uhhh well at least we all hate hojo right" coalition

[lapses]

PRESS X FOR DOUBT

ruru is already giving vinnie a hard time in their thread which i stg i'm getting back to full force soon like all he wanted to do was swing by and say hi and then vanish into the wind????? but no now he has to daycare him while fEELING HIS EMOTIONS?

where is his recompense

just don't try to say you own him too and i think they'll be fine
he hasn't even realized that rufus doesn't Know Him Like That yet

i keep joking that they should run with the world's flimsiest cover story and be like "oh right shinra that's uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the name of our boyband" because it's more convenient to pretend to be celebrity heartthrobs than, y'know, genetic engineering hell capitalists

vincent is clearly "the goth one"

[lapses]

stg if ruru tries to rope him into a boyband cover he's not going to talk to him for like at least a month

he's in his wine mom era now ok
he just wants to sip some red juice and stare the abyss dead in the eyes

but i hope rufus is ready for this bitch to keep track of him

someday soon i'm going to regain darkstar and i cannot wait for the inevitable vincent/tseng/darkstar entourage following rufus around while all glaring at each other in various capacities

i'm actually very excited about the timeline discrepancy aspect though, rufus is currently from the end of remake and i expect to update him to rebirth eventually so vincent having information about what all he did in the advent children timeline will end up being highly relevant to his interests!!

[lapses]

rufus needs his puppeh it's tru
but dw vincent prefers to keep his distance so he'll be sure to give them plenty of space

once he realizes tseng is here, he'll be quasi-less worried that rufus will end up in a ditch somewhere

ALSO YEAH LOL it's way too early to app rebirth!vv anywhere and i prefer pulling him from DoC so this all works out. godspeed to rufus if he thinks he can get anything out of him though esp once he figures out that there's a timeline discrepancy between them.
