Aw Snap OOC

I bet you think I forgot about you, didn't you? Well I didn't! Time for a little plot.

From tomorrow until the 22nd of August, the heat in Starklandia will be sweltering. We're talkin' 100+ Grossout McGee sticky nonsense. It's terrible. Why didn't anyone think to build air conditioning?

Wanna try your odds at finding somewhere with nicer weather through the doors? Well. (In)Conveniently, they're only opening up to desert locales.

Let's end this summer by having some fun with heatstroke in the sun!

Just a quick and dirty, well, not really dirty. Mainly quick intro.

I’m Nel. I live, work, and pretend mostly in CST/CDT - get so confused on which is which, time is weird - zone.

I’m bringing in Valkyrie MCU style post-kinging. Talk about dereliction of duties. The snap-crack made her do it?

Activity checks are now done, and we're jumping straight into August! We had some really great stuff going on this month, so you should all probably pat yourselves on the back for a fun thing well done! Stay tuned for a chill vacation plot that's coming up fairly soon, and then a bit of a less chill plot that'll roll around near the end of the month!

Additionally, there have been some updates to the rules of the game. Click this link. This is where the rules are! Changes are mostly to do with activity check standards and amounts, but there are a few other things too. Read them and either comment here or in chat that you have read and understand them!

Here are partner thread assignments!

Grace & Dan
Mal & Alex

Hello all! Anne here and I am very excited (perhaps too excited) to announce that the infamous famous American Horror Story child-star turned bad-ass witch Madison Montgomery will be joining Starklandia. And before you ask, no she will not autograph anything for you.

But she's definitely up for plots and tags!

Yo everyone! The gifting plot has started and runs until the end of the month! Remember you need your gifts mod-approved in the last mod post (follow the tags to find it!) and they cannot be back dated! If your character was apped in the last week, they aren't eligible for gifts, sorry!

Also! Keep in mind that Activity Checks are due by the end of the month, so you've got about a week to get all your activity in. As ever, those who fail to make or turn in activity will be dropped, so get it in!

Hello! Aly back with her second char. Yes I finally decided on a character to bring in. It was hard.

This here is Shuri from the MCU Universe. She's coming from just after the end of Endgame and is 18 due to the missing years. She's a genius, supposedly smarter than Tony Stark (take that!) and is a big fan of Memes and Vines also annoying her brother who she will be sad isn't here. She's very innocent but also very wordly at the same time, it works for her though. She runs the Wakandan Outreach Program and is the lead scientist as well as being her brother's heir.

She keeps busy.

Anyway both Mara and her are around and up to things

Hi guys, Aly here back from hiatus.

I've tried to catch up with everything that happened while I was gone but if I missed something that needs Mara's attention please let me know!

Now most importantly. Threads? I know I've discussed threads with Starkiller & Leia (omg #fail) but does anyone else want to do anything?

♥ Alex

Hey all, I'm going to post a summary of what happened during the full moon (which is technically tonight), so that y'all can post whatever you want in the aftermath but know that tonight, overnight, (7/16 into 7/17) is when all of this is happening. The good news is, nobody died! There was a bite, but you have to read below to find out who it was. GASP.

( Werewolf Plot Summary )

Hey guys! This is Kate. She's here to play. :) . She's a twenty-something hero whose trademark is archery, like her namesake. Captain America gave her the codename "Hawkeye" and Clint's bow, back when he wasn't around. And then Clint came back and told her to keep it--that the world is big enough for two Hawkeyes.

She can't wait to meet everyone. :)

And if anyone wants James or Peter (MCU) for anything, hit me up. I'd love to chat!

Also, the Werewolf plot happens tonight, 7pm EST so drop by the chat if you can for some fun real time action plot. If you can't make it, nbd, there'll be a summary of what went down posted later in the ooc for future plotting!

Additionally, keep in mind that the Super-Flu plot ends this Wednesday on the 17th!

After that everyone gets a few days off before the gifting plot begins:

July 23-31st
The Gifting Plot

Any time during this period (so, no backdating is accepted!) your character can receive a really great gift! It can be something bigger that you might not be able to get as gifts in partner threads i.e.: The TARDIS for the Doctor, or a specific room or portion of a building (that will, miraculously, fit inside your characters’ house or apartment with no problem at all with some House of Leaves and Doctor Who style bigger on the inside magic) or pretty much anything else you can think of (barring npcs, and with mod approval!). Gifts to not have to be something your character has had previously!

BUT, if your character gets a great gift, they also have to get a bad gift! These will vary by person based on canon, of course, but some examples might include: a bad memory they tried covering up, an item that reminds them of something bad that was done to them, or that they used to do something to someone else with, etc.

For a more specific example -- Tony Stark will be getting the entirety of his work labs (that will fit into the storefront building that he currently uses as a workshop, but will now span several floors, even if it doesn't look like it from the outside). That's his good gift. As a bad gift, he will be receiving the arc reactor. Or, more accurately, will wake up to it being in his chest again.

IF YOU PLAN ON PARTICIPATING IN THIS PLOT YOU MUST COMMENT IN THIS THREAD WITH WHAT YOUR CHARACTERS ARE GETTING, MOD APPROVAL IS NEEDED.

PS:
It's come to my attention that not all of us are on the same page regarding the plot/locations/etc of this game. It would be a boon to everyone to please refresh yourselves on this information.
here are the rules
this is the FAQ
Even more details here!
And here are the job and location listings.

All of these pages can normally be found within the header links, and on the members page.

Howdy! I'm Rue, and I'm bringing Jughead Jones to the mix here. He's 17 (18 next month), and aside from writing for the school paper, he tries to keep a low profile. He's a loner, a self described weirdo. Jughead is open to all the things. He particularly needs friends, as friendship is something that has been scarce in his life.

As for me, I'm a student somewhere in the eastern US, so I'm on EST. School takes up a lot of time, but it's entirely online, so sometimes I sneak breaks and do my own thing that has nothing to do with school. I'm usually online in the mornings and the evenings. RL tends to keep me MIA during the day (but not always). The truth is I'm on at completely random times, so you just never know when I'm going to be around. I have Discord, Rue#1802, but I try not to be logged in if I'm not actually there. RueWriter@gmail.com is the more reliable way to reach me.

I'm looking forward to getting Jughead up and active here, and would love to get some CR going for him right off the bat, if anyone's interested! I have a thing tomorrow that will keep me away from the computer pretty much all day, but I should be here in the evening. And will intro Juggie IC then if not before!

HEY YOU GUUUUYYYSSSS!!!!

It's me, Matt. Again. Here with another person with which to throw all of the plots at. This is The Doctor, but we've already got a Doctor, well this is one of her earlier incarnations: The Eleventh Doctor. Technically the Eleventh regeneration, the Twelfth Doctor... listen it doesn't matter, just whatever. Anyway he's suuuuper cool and you should come play with him.

He's a bit zaney, almost a bit childlike, but has incredibly old and wise eyes that are accentuated by the fact he basically has zero eyebrows. He's a bit rambunctious, a bit over the top, a bit wild and crazy and going three hundred miles a minute. But, like all Doctors of The Doctor variety, he is supremely intelligent, doesn't always have the best filters, and has a rather dark and serious side when someone steps over one of his moral lines. He's also courageous and all that jazz--but he's definitely not a Gryffindor. Eleven would absolutely be a Hufflepuff.

Anyway. Play with him!

Hi friends!

So I'm trying to get some things organized in this full moon plot we're going to run. If you're in the Discord chat and read Remus' last net post, you've got the basic idea of what's going down, but if not, here's a quick summary. Full Moon is on July 16. Sirius and James, who normally would be keeping Moony contained, are kind of down for the count with this sickness. So there's going to be a werewolf on the loose.

Much like the baseball game, we're going to run a simulator type fight in the chat. If you want to participate, comment here with which of your characters you want to have try to help fend him off from hurting anyone, or if they're going to be hiding out so we don't throw them at Moony. If you're going to have your characters participate, I need to know what their limitations are due to the Super Flu virus going on in town.

Example: Thor is still physically strong, but he can't channel lightning through his body or it'd fry him.

We are going to run the fight the way we did the baseball game through Discord, and it's likely going to be Saturday or Monday night at this point (Friday was originally an option but I want to make sure people have a chance to respond here). Looking kinda like 7:00PM EST, on either evening. If you can't be there, don't sweat it. We will still give your character fight time. That's why having a list of who's going to be fighting and who is going to be hiding here will be super helpful! If you don't get a chance to comment here, then we'll assume your kiddos are barricaded in for the night.

Once we finish the fight, I'll throw up a summary of what went down and then everyone can write their own aftermath as you please.

Thanks everyone!

- Grace

OKay, here we go, boys and girls! As if the circus hasn't already got enough freaks and geeks in it, let me introduce you to my brand new boy, Farscape's very own John Crichton.

For those unfamiliar with our boy John, he's a human who was lost in space for the past couple of years where he's from. Of course, in his mind the year is still 2001. So he's going to have to deal with that. He's also dealing with the fact that he has his friend Harvey still bouncing around in his head and he's probably going to think Starklandia is some kind of weird Earth simulation for a while. Because why not?

Let me know if anyone's interested in helping a poor human boy out. He'll be thrilled that at least there's pizza.

Hi, everyone.

This is your friendly neighborhood Fox here bringing Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, into the game.

Although I am using Finn Jones as a PB, I am basing him more off of the 616 character. He is being brought in after surviving what should have been his death on his 33rd birthday per the Immortal Iron Fist comic run - and after an unfortunate broken engagement with his long-term love interest Misty Knight. In short, you all will be getting a more powerful, mature, if out of sorts Iron Fist.

As for me - I'm 30, EST, and should generally be around to write. Hit me up on Discord, throw any plot or character at me. I'm down for most things, and greatly look forward to getting to know (and write with!) all of you. :)
