All game updates are posted on lostcompass, but you can also follow 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 pocketwatch 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.
Charles is formally assigned to Eidris, where he is a fainting couch companion: the weight of the world has simply descended on the frail shoulders of the court's extraordinarily rich 1%, and they must share their woes with a trusted underpaid audience.
Charles’ pre-assigned network username is sticks and stones.
INTRO
Charles joins the party at the end of the the U n w i n d i n g event. He wakes with everyone else in the Mouse House orphanage run by Ma’am Mariol, while the group negotiates its safe return overground.
This is only relevant once characters are allowed back overground (around the time of our upcoming Halloween event next week): Charles may notice as he arrives in Eidris that, while his telepathic ability doesn’t work everywhere, at times — and especially in large crowds — he can hear a distinctive, intrusive sound, like a collective thought. It’s the tune of the music box heard during the U n w i n d i n g, and its stuttered rhyme, “Up the mountain, in the grove, hand in hand to Ke-ke-ke — Ke-Waihu, fresh harvest’s a treasure trove, each fall we feast anew.” The sound flares and fades, and curiously does not seem to be joined by active thoughts from the individuals that project it — as if the only thing roiling in their heads at the time is the song. After it ‘plays’ a few times, it’s displaced by the regular white noise of common folk going about their day.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!
