NOVEMBER STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ November State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to almost December! Our December plans mod-wise are fairly minimal - we have our intro/mingle log going up later this evening (with a surprise twist!) and then another intro log going up December 20th, but no other mod logs planned between then. We will use this time to focus on individual player plots (so please submit those if you'd like!) and catch up with other mod work, such as the locations page. In the meantime, we hope you all have a nice holiday season! Our next feedback post is going up on December 19th - but we welcome feedback throughout the year regardless of if there's a specific post asking for it! If you have any comments, questions, concerns, our Mod Contact page is always open! The feedback post provides a non-screened space for players to communicate with the mod team, and we do our best to respond to concerns brought to us there - as well as respond to suggestions. 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! Please use the below form to introduce yourself, tell us what you’re looking forward to, and CR you want to play. We also have a mod comment HERE that you can use to ask us mods anything about our upcoming plans, add suggestions, or anything of the like. <b>PLAYER:</b> your name/handle, and your preferred pronouns if you want to provide them! <b>CONTACT:</b> your plurk, discord, carrier pigeon's name to call out to the wind to get their attention <b>ABOUT YOU:</b> what fandoms are you in? what cool thing about you do you think would be fun to share? are you more of a texty tagger, a log tagger, quick boomeranger? <b>CHARACTER:</b> who have you apped? what canon are they from? <b>CHARACTER INFO:</b> are they rowdy and loud? an introvert who needs an extrovert to adopt them and take them out into the world? how are they going to settle into game? is there anything in particular you're looking for with them? <b>PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> mostly for us mods: tell us things you're interested in! are you here more for horror elements, the mystery, soft fluffy missions, or the plot behind why echo has called everyone in? do you want to explore the world and figure out what's beyond the bubble etraya resides in? let us know! <b>OTHER:</b> this is for pretty pictures or gifs.

PLAYER: Basil (they/any)
CONTACT: woodrift

ABOUT YOU: I'm a nerd who tends to cycle through fandoms-- right now big ones are fire emblem, fate/, RWBY, the murderbot diaries, and anime like laid back camp, delicious in dungeon, and apothecary diaries. I'm into cooking and I'm currently learning to play the ukulele to combat The Morbs.

CHARACTER: Shelley Lang

CHARACTER INFO: in short: Shelley is a hard on his luck private investigator who is into the outdoors and bad with people... Including taking care of himself. This has led to him accidentally becoming estranged from the people he cares about bc he struggles with a lack of self worth-- and now he's in a position where he has to take better care of himself while helping a young woman solve a murder.

Unfortunately-- his lack of ability to properly care for himself has left him with a chronic illness, a lot of stress, and a weird little ghost who insists that she just wants to help. How is he supposed to help a nature spirit learn how to be human when he can't even remember to have more than coffee for breakfast?

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Chaos. Shelley is such a disaster that he doesn't even believe that he is even worthy of being the one who is supposed to save his universe. He just wants to make it through the day and get back to the actual teenager girls he accidentally left with a violent narcissist.

Please. Bully him, drag him places, make him be active. He's very suspicious of the robots but honestly? Life is crazy enough, what's one more problem?

OTHER: this is how Shelley sees his life right now.

omg hello Shelley sounds delightful. Harold is from a police procedural with a meta plot and tends to get along well with grizzly detective types. I would love to introduce them 👀

[dustyroad]

I've seen the pilot-- and I plan to watch more. This is going to be a hilarious disaster, Shelley isn't keen about dealing with people.

This honestly is why he needs to deal with as many people as possible, lol.

[ornithologist]

The pilot is so the tiniest tip of the iceberg for POI but YES GOOD. You see the hilarious disaster vision!!

Harold doesn't really want to deal with people either, but needs must, Mr. Lang.

[dustyroad]

He doesn't even want to be here, Harold. He needs to make sure his niece and his young employer are ok-- and check on his mom.

[pethetic]

hi5 for mentally unwell guys with no life skills. till also doesnt really know how to take care of himself cuz someone else was making sure his needs were met but like one does an animal

[dustyroad]

It's literally a girl who is supposed to be a nature spirit in the form of a bird who is helping this guy take better care of himself, so that's gonna be an oddly familiar mood

[pethetic]

damn where tf does till get a nature “bird” (whatever that is) to bully him into self betterment…smh

[dustyroad]

Apparently it takes loving the outdoors and nearly during m dying in front of one.

[pethetic]

well ONE of those is easy…
