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
…knowing Marty’s nosy nature, we will probably need to arm this boy magically at some point. We could also have the Merchant pay him a bodyguard in some instances, though I’m sure the rest of the party will intercede to keep him out of trouble. Maybe.
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, Karsa turns out not to need any additional data to approach Marty very… intently:
”Are you a child? Or a man? We don’t need more children. We have too many. They cry and get sad. All the time, every day. We kill things, they are sad. Fire happens, they are sad. Dead things rise, they are sad. Sad, sad, sad. Why are you not smiling? See? Because you are getting sad. Go back. What do you mean where? To womb. Shoo.”
...she won't stay long on his case for his sin of existing in her presence, and she does in fact look after the young much more earnestly than she does the rest of the party. But she might now and then make a point of hissing at him or squinting, almost... daring him. To be sad.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!
