OCTOBER STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ October State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to the end of October! We hope you enjoy the Halloweeny mingle log that is going up alongside this post. 🎃 As a heads up: headmod will take a bit of a break through November due to life getting busy elsewhere! However, the mission, TDM, and everything else will go up as scheduled. Mod responses may be a little slower (as they have been through October also due to how unexpectedly busy it's been, our bad!) but outside of that, everything should still be running as usual! November is a mission month, but it will be a little more light-hearted in comparison to the previous mission! Using the feedback we received on our last post, we will be condensing the amount of time missions run down to one to two weeks, but will keep our schedule otherwise the same as it has been. This should, hopefully, give players time to complete their mission threads while also leaving plenty of space for characters to get into shenanigans around Etraya itself. If you have any questions, please put them under the mod queries top-level below. Additionally, don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals!

hey that guy looks familiar anyway

PLAYER: carlee, she/her
CONTACT: vdova or PM the journal!
ABOUT YOU: i'm in the EST timezone and try to hit things back at least a few times away even if i can't quite boomerang! fandom-wise i like horror media (movies and television; alien, scream, yellowjackets, radio silence and mike flanagan's works are some favorites) and i feel like i've had a lot of thoughts on it this year, but more favorites are dark angel, marvel, stars trek and wars, and back to the future. i tend to post my thoughts on whatever i've watched/am watching and my favorite characters/the ones i tend to play are either the ones everyone loves or the ones everyone hates/doesn't care about, there's no inbetween.

CHARACTER: sam carpenter from the scream movies, coming in from post-movie!
CHARACTER INFO: trying to summarize as best i can without many spoilers: sam was introduced in scream 5 as the illegitimate/secret daughter of billy loomis, one of the murderers from the original massacre in woodsboro (detailed here). when she was thirteen she discovered her parentage and her father left the family when she confronted her mother about it; after this her mother blamed her for breaking up the family. she coped with drugs and eventually left town at the age of 20, reluctantly leaving her sister behind. an attack on her sister tara lead her back to woodsboro as it turned out she was targeted because of sam's connection to billy, which the people behind the murders were going to exploit to frame her as the murderer.

some time later, tara's graduated and moved to new york with her friends chad and mindy and sam's followed as their mother's been cut off from contact. murders start up again and sam's considered a chief suspect, especially after rumors spread about her being the killer in the last woodsboro attack. she's coming in right after surviving the attack along with her sister and eliminating the killers.

history aside, sam's spent a lot of time lately trying to both come to terms with what's happened to her and move forward with her life and atone for the mistakes she's made in her past, especially with tara. she's seen attending therapy and taking medication in order to combat her mental illness and it's mentioned she had previous problems with drug addiction and delinquency. she is, essentially, someone who is trying to cope with her trauma and use it to be better.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: she's going to be wary and anxious about how things were left off, even knowing she, her sister, and their friends have survived. she's likely to throw herself into missions for the distraction and figure of what other kind of people have been pulled into this and if there's a pattern.
