Join eastbound, lostcompass, westwhere and comment to the TAKEN LIST within 72 hours of your acceptance note. A gamppide OOC intro / CR meme and plotting post goes up on 14 August.
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.
While Eastbound is fantasy-horror geared, if you OOCly have a common trigger that is likely to make you very uncomfortable in gameplay (ex: spiders), please flag it here. Best effort will be made to content warn and avoid pictures of it in event write-ups.
While some participation is expected, your character is exempted from full activity requirements this month.
NOTES
That’s absolutely fine on light test drive meme retcons. Speak with your thread partners if you’d like to completely erase a thread!
Your character receives a shiny new pocket watch pendant with a mirror inside, which serves as a translator and communicator for written, video and audio interaction. It can read out translations of messages written out in native tongues.
…you can either come up with your character’s network username, or comment here if you prefer to receive a mod-assigned punny one.
INTRO
Your character joins the party during its sojourn at the House of Manouk. He may travel with them onwards, when they escape back into the real time of Akhuras… to a place of sweet, sweet respite.
There will be certain opt-in quests available in this period — if you change your mind and ultimately want a taste of plot, you can sign up for them shortly!
Please note: the Merchant has his ways of procuring information about his protegees. Given Wen Kexing’s… turbulent past, upon return to Akhuras and his official accession to the party, the Merchant will send along a gentle note:
Master Wen,
Greetings. I should hope this letter finds you in fine health, excellent disposition, and not hunched over, pulling your dagger out of one of my recruits.
Know that I am acquainted with your name, your reputation and your appetites. But I believe we can all choose to engage in the spirit of elegance and enjoy a certain degree of amnesty. That implies no hostility, no ill intent and no open violence with our allies. We can hold each other to that.
In fact, I expect it, on pain of personal disappointment to otherwise.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!
