Join eastbound, lostcompass, westwhere and comment to the TAKEN LIST within 72 hours of your acceptance note. A game-wide 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
All roads lead to the bear.
Because of her unique abilities and interaction with ghosts, Lucy counts as death-touched in Akhuras — a status that will give her some dis/advantages with the undead in certain events. These instances will be flagged in write-ups.
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 — including one exclusive to newcomers. Participate in whatever you like 😊
The Merchant has his ways to barter information about his new protegees, and at time shares this knowledge with his representative to the party, the witch Karsa. Upon return to Akhuras, the Merchant sends Lucy the following letter, alongside an otherwise blank paper bearing the wax seal of a raven:
Young lady —
I understand you are bereft of certain accoutrement. Turn this paper to the nearest blacksmith or iron vendor.
I trust you will use this safely, wisely, and with care.
With esteem,
A merchant
If the paper is surrendered to a blacksmith, weapons vendor or merchant who sells weapons, Lucy may receive either a blade weapon (wide-blade sword, rapier, dagger), shield or a household trinket — the choice is entirely yours. Sadly, the item would not be magically imbued or spirit repelling.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!

There is no need to respond to the letter.
