Thank you for your application!

ADMIN

  • When you have a second, have a last read through the game rules and comment to the TAKEN LIST.

  • Join [community profile] eastbound, [community profile] lostcompass, [community profile] westwhere. Feel free to make an OOC intro post on [community profile] lostcompass, if you want, or wait for the intro & CR meme due up on 16 October!

  • All game updates are posted on [community profile] lostcompass, but you can also follow [plurk.com profile] eastbound. You’ll get a private message with an invite to the informal game discord server, once you comment to the Taken List.

  • If you’re not already served on that front, we have some custom codes to help you set up a character inbox or permissions post. Both are entirely optional, and feel free to customise at will!

  • Your character is exempted from activity requirements this month.

  • We are now in Arc IV: Sethica, and our latest game-wide event was The Unwinding. Your character can reach out to NPCs for investigations at any time. You can also handwave they’ve been brought up to date with the Arc Story So Far by party member NPC Karsa, if you so choose.


  • NOTES

  • Your character receives one of the shiny new Arc IV pocket watch translators and communicators, allowing written, video and audio interaction. It contains an inevitable clock portion, whose beat seems to get louder as time ticks towards 6:00 and 18:00. A sharp, tinny alarm rings at these times.

  • Yuuri is formally assigned to Minaras, where she is a valve turner: one small key turn for a girl, one giant valve opening for Minaras. So often, you are called in just to nod along, while the valve does its thing untouched. But you are one with the valve. And the valve is one with you. Critical.

  • Yuuri’s pre-assigned network username is cat’s cradle.


  • INTRO

    Yuuri joins the party during the U n w i n d i n g event. She wakes with everyone else in the Mouse House orphanage run by Ma’am Mariol, while the group negotiates its safe return overground.

    This is perhaps less of an intro plot pointer, more of a clue for Yuuri’s stay throughout, once she manages to reach Minaras: while her telepathy doesn’t work everywhere, sometimes — particularly in vast crowds — she finds herself picking up from different people a mental ‘voice’ that keeps repeating words to the tune of, 'I’M SORRY', 'STOP', 'TAKE IT BACK, BRING THEM BACK', 'BROTHER SANWON, BE A FRIEND', 'I DIDN’T MEAN TO', 'IS IT RAINING?' The voice pertains to a boy and rings tinny, sometimes distressed, sometimes listless, always somehow absent — as if Yuuri is picking up ripples of thought, more than active projections.
