JANUARY STATE OF THE GAME




⏵ January State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴


Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to 2025!

We've got some big plans for this upcoming year, and we look forward to getting the opportunity to share them with you! Our next mission plotting post will be going up on January 20th, with the mission log following that Friday, January 24th. While we won't spoil too much of it, we will note here that we do not have a set end date for this mission - meaning the outcome of it is fully up to you, the players! We will be putting up a log or an OOC post with the end results of the mission depending on when we know the results there.

We have also gone through the CALENDAR and made sure that everything there is aligned through June.

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 ⏴

PLAYER: ReneeTwist

CONTACT: librarydragons [personal profile] plurk (it's in friends-only mode but pls add if you like!) or reneetwist on Discord (I'm in the comm member list!)

ABOUT YOU: Hi, I'm Renee and I am a librarian! I most recently played at Metaheroes, but I have played in Camp Fuck U Die (CFUD or as Mayu refers most times, "Camp") and in Sidereal.

When at home, I bounce around between video games as my whims take me. My main MMORPG is Final Fantasy XIV (chilling out on Brynhildr and Cactuar). Over winter break, I've played things like Balatro, Arkham Asylum and Animal Crossing. I'm making good progress in the first Hades (2nd win recently) and looking forward to the next patch of Baldur's Gate 3 (new paladin subclass calls to me). I'm trying to keep up with the English volume releases of SpyxFamily and the Tom Taylor Nightwing runs-- while also taking the opportunity while sitting for hours at a time in front of ALL THE BOOKS to... read some of them. ummmm I also play in-person D&D (usually on Sundays)?

I come from the old school LJRP/DWRP school of spam commenting, but I can tack extra commentary on when the situation calls for it. Will do my best to match!

CHARACTER: Shiraki Mayuko from Fruits Basket, with some previous games under her belt. Her timeline (compressed) is Canon (Vol. 13) -> CFUD -> Sidereal -> Arrival in Etraya.

CHARACTER INFO: Mayuko is at her core a Responsible Adult-- in canon she's a high school teacher. In games she's been a librarian (preceding my IRL degree even) of a zombie summer sleepaway camp for 5 years and the manager of a large community kitchen/meeting hall in another jamjar. She's witnessed A LOT! While she's not interested in TEACHING-teaching out here, she does like sharing info and telling stories about the Bad Old Days. (Set Mayuko in front of Tatiana, she'll keep her occupied for AGES.) She's developed a smidgeon of combat ability while dungeon-delving, but isn't what you could call a front-line fighter (not a lot of action like that in her shoujo manga). If there are young people in trouble, the Kill Bill sirens go off. She's in love with Sohma Hatori and it's the SLOWBURNIEST OF ROMANCES but she's still holding on, damnit! She will bring her floofy-cat-from-CFUD Daichi over ASAP because he was her emotional support pet for the five-year duration :|d

CR -wise, she's a Type B tsundere (ie easygoing-to-neutral to start, gets angrier the more she cares) who wants to provide and be of service to people. Maybe she'll bring her own bookstore or the Mess Hall one day, idk how that works yet? She does know A Jason Todd of Pinky's... but not the one here, and I took her from before any related DC identities besides his got dropped FOR SURE, I got you BatFam. I'm going to keep my plans open and see what comes.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I enjoy plotty things--the tragedy of Sidereal was that there was so much left to uncover before its end, I look forward to everything to learn in Etraya. All the elements listed, I am A-OK with. I am down for exploring, ridiculous happenings and scary things, and I wrangle my attention span the hardest when there's mission objectives to get after. Small-talk is harder for me to keep momentum in :(

OTHER: How many characters does this represent, lol?

hello hello! welcome to the game. I'm jumping in here to say as someone who plays from Fruits Basket, I am quite excited to see another person playing from it. (I don't play her here however 😔😔)
welcome_summer: (D-did that baby get eaten?!)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2025-01-18 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much, and GASP it is so good to meet another who plays a Furuba! (sorry not sorry she's trying to steal the dragon away~)

Mayuko what did you enjoy most from Sidereal, was the endless storeroom really everything we could have ever wanted or did you get trapped in there

/taps microphone

The endless warehouse was indeed excellent except for the fact that the only way in (that I found) was through elevator. And if the power cut out, we would have been screwed!

The library that updated with each new arrival, though! 10/10 no notes.
leastdramatic: (Be prepared)

Bookclub (almost) reunion! Enjoy a more emotionally healthy Jason this time, Mayuko
welcome_summer: (What a beautiful mess...)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2025-01-18 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Return of the bookclub!

Even if she's not from Sid's endgame, she'll still be proud of his reconnection with everyone back home. ;~;

Hi there, nice to have you in! I'm happy to continue our TDM thread if you like, and we can get to the meat of that mission if you want Mayuko to be collecting pearl shards. :)
welcome_summer: (s-socute ^__^)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2025-01-18 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi there! Yes, now that the app and administrative tasks are done, I will be picking up the TDM back up <3
possessum: (our friend's necks)

Hello! I'm Jhey, a fellow newbie to Etraya this time around, and another fellow Furuba fan/rper who is just gasping delightedly to see a Mayuko....! I play Hatori around dreamwidth too (SO much Furuba nostalgia, he was actually my first rp muse waaaay back in the Neopets days) so I'm just!!! Mayuko is such a good, it makes me so happy to see her around ♥︎

Here at Etraya I'm bringing in a sad horror teenager who, coincidentally, happens to be possessed (by a demon king, not a vengeful animal spirit) and could definitely use all the Responsible Adults Figures in his life. Looking forward to being in the game with you!
welcome_summer: (Something sketchy?  Nah...)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2025-01-19 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, Jhey! It is so good to run into another Furuba fan, especially one who plays the best sad seahorse in snow. I will do my best with Mayuko!

Demon kings sure are a step above animal spirits but "sad teenager" hits those teacher pings so hard. Will keep on the lookout for Peter in game!

Thank you so much, I look forward to the adventures to come!
