In Darkness - OOC

I have updated the "upon arrival" page to reflect alterations made by characters throughout the course of the game. If your character has done something you'd like noted for new arrivals to be aware of, please let me know. Here, or the drop box.

For your convenience, so you don't have to click links:

In-game additions

- a small graveyard currently containing 4 wooden markers (one each for Susan Pevensie, Tinkerbell, Son Sayuri, and Elizabeth Swann)
- a garden of normal and magical plants, as well as fruit/vegetables behind the hotel (Swan's project)
- one of the shacks was fixed up into semi-livable condition, though it lacks plumbing and electricity (Mal's project)

so, first, notifs are lagging. Not much right now, maybe 5 minutes or so, but it may well be a precursor to notif!fail. If you are in a group thread/tracking something, just make sure you check back every once in a while to see if it's your turn to go.

(as an aside, I just want to commend everyone in the Magical Meeting thread for doing a really great job of keeping posting order and knowing who to skip ;) i was really impressed with the fact we actually got it wrapped up, and we seem to be developing a track record for completing group posts. I'm really, really thrilled by this. You have no idea. I look forward to a repeat of it in the new magic thread ;) ).

That said, I am here with a new character. This is Corey-not-Becky whose bio probably still needs some tweaking. She is Covenant-canon based, but has not actually been to Ipswich yet, so she doesn't know any of the witches in-game. She is, however, familiar with that type of witch. Her father was a hardcore witch hunter, so she and her brother Roland were raised in that way. Corey's heart's not really in it though, and she has a more live and let live philosophy regarding witches. (though she'll probably still take issue with Chase, because, c'mon. Who doesn't take issue with Chase?)

She comes equipped with a wrist sheath and throwing blades (only three) and a knowledge of how to use guns, though she doesn't have any of her own.

So yeah. As always, I am up for organic lines though if you had any specific plots you wanted her for, I'd be willing to listen. :)

i'm only doing this because i'm procrastinating grocery shopping. Trufax.

Anyway, this is Tristan. He is my Harry Potter-verse future-gen werewolf. He looks like Reid. Yes, he does. I anticipate him confusing the hell out of several people, and there being much lulz, because he will totally play it up as well as he can. that's just how he rolls. He is also very very gay and not at all shy about announcing that fact. In fact, his first network post will probably be a TMI of his life until now.

um. He will want to continue working on his wolfsbane potion; he's still in the process of learning to make it 'cause it is complicated, and even as awesome as he is, he wasn't born with a steady hand and a knack for potions (i just didn't know 'til we played out the making of it that it was the stirring that was screwing him over. ::amused;: )

Tris wasn't bitten; he was born infected. no, seriously, I can explain this. His mom was 8 months pregnant when she was bitten, so he was born before her first shift, and since her blood was infected, he was born infected as well.

Tris is fun. He's one of my favorite kids. ::nods::

So, I look forward to playing with everyone. you know. More than I already do play with you. (I swear, after grocery shopping, I'm flooding the hell out of the logs comm with open posts. ::nodnods:: since we all need at least one for activity checks. XD )

and theoretically, I'm done with adding characters. ::shifty eyes:: for a little while.

Hey everyone, This is Aubry introducing Josefina Lupo into the game!

Jo (calling her Josefina is likely to get you a fist in the gut) is an ex-Army Ranger, but currently works in Eureka (a town full of super geniuses) as the Deputy Sheriff. She's tough, cleans guns for fun and has a general 'kicking ass and taking names' attitude. She has plenty of experience with deadly weapons, and was dropped in with her sidearm and a hunting knife.

Feel free to message me anytime with any comments, questions or concerns!

'kay guys.

Just a little bit of a maintenance reminder. When you guys finish up a thread, please make sure you 1) amend the header so it's marked as complete and 2) add your "!complete" tag to it. If you guys could go through the logs comm and make sure all your headers are updated and your completed threads are tagged complete, that'd be great. I just did mine earlier today, and yes, I know it's a pain in the ass if you go too long between header fixings, but it makes things look nicer. :)

Also, please do remember to add your character tags when you tag into the network or the log community. Trust me, you'll appreciate that when activity checks come around.

Good job on remembering titles :) Very nice.

That said, we start the Adult Programming plot on Monday. You are welcome to start throwing up logs/network posts Sunday night if it's after midnight somewhere in the continental US, and thus technically Monday. ::cough:: Not that we're impatient or anything.

There should be a list in the OOC comments of what characters and scenes are going to be shown. Your characters do not have to see any of it, but it is being shown on the televisions. Of course, the TVs can be turned off and your characters don't have to see anything at all, so this is a strictly voluntary plot.

Yes, you can still add things in the comments if inspiration struck or you introduced new characters that you want to exploit.

If you have any questions at all, or need clarity, or anything like that, don't hesitate to poke. I'd seriously rather have questions and clarify ahead of time than have to go "oh hell, I was opaque again" and chase down a misunderstanding and fix it.

Thanks guys!
