Ready, Set, Ship!


1. Player A posts a comment for each character.
2. Players B, C, and D comment to Player A's posts with the name of one of their characters and any sort of prompt/guide (e.g., Coffee Shop AU, "____ is a Hellhound instead of a ______," "_____ is 30 instead of 20")
3. Player A replies to each comment with a one sentence synopsis for how that ship begins.
4. Profit!

Meme Monday: Belated New Year's Resolutions


[info]remains_mod
[info]remainsooc
Hey gang! It's been a little while since we've had a plotting post, and our hope is that this post will help us all get reinvigorated about our characters' personal journeys as well as stir up ideas and opportunities for us all to help each other make fun stuff happen!

Per character, fill out the below short questionnaire (answer any or all questions), then comment to each other and profit!~
(If your character wasn't in the game in the comparison date, just answer compared to your personal headcanon!)

1) In 2020, CHARACTER is HAPPIER/SADDER/ABOUT THE SAME compared to 2019 because...
2) In 2020, CHARACTER now has ONE-THREE THINGS in HIS/HER life that HE/SHE didn't have before.
3) In 2020, CHARACTER has gotten rid of these ONE-THREE THINGS.
4) CHARACTER still struggles with...
5) CHARACTER would most like to GOAL in the first three months of 2020. (this can be something that they are aware of, or something you want for them that they don't know yet.)
6) I am most excited about playing CHARACTER at this stage of HIS/HER life because...

TMI THURSDAY - alternate PBs (with a twist!)


[info]remains_mod
[info]remainsooc


ALTERNATE PBs:

Choose a PB that is already in the game (here's the cast list for your reference) and post in the comments. Not required but fun -- find a picture of that PB that suits your character and include that in your comment as well as some thoughts on whether the new PB would change any aspect of their character!

WACKY WEDNESDAY (aka Justine forgot when Tuesday was) -- Alternate PBs!


[info]remains_mod
[info]remainsooc



Whether you had some alternate PB ideas in mind before you created your character or you can think of another PB that you'd love to use, tell us who else could have been the face for your character!

If you think a different PB would have influenced how you play them, such as their backstory, personality, or ethnic background, let us know, too! We want all the details!

TMI Tuesday: Accents!


[info]remains_mod
[info]remainsooc


It's that time again...

Ever wonder what our characters would sound like if we were watching the conversations happen right in front of us? Take a gander at these pronunciation patterns and then see if you can find an audio clip that matches to how you imagine your character speaks so we can all be a little more enlightened about how the citizens of Austin communicate!

TMI Tuesday: Expecto Patronum!


[info]remains_mod
[info]remainsooc


Continuing our Harry Potter theme, this week we want to know what each character's patronus would be. Post your answer in the comments, and feel free to think as much inside or outside the box as you want -- it's magic, after all, so you could pick anything! (And here's a handy list of animals to consider.) For extra fun, include 2 photos of your patronus choice so that we can all squee over the adorbs.

SORTING HAT MEME


[info]remains_mod
[info]remainsooc



For this week's edition of meme time, we're throwing it back to last year and doing another sorting hat meme! Comment to show off your character's respective house, talk a little bit about what they'd be like as a Hogwarts student, and converse with fellow housemates!

Bonus points if you c&p your character's HP astrology, even if the zodiac that fits them best doesn't actually match your character's birthdate! especially if you're like me and you forgot to take astrology into account when you made their birthdates

Happy Anniversary! Friending Button Update, & Plot Post


[info]remains_mod

Happy Anniversary!

Hi everyone, and happy one year anniversary of the game! Some exciting things are coming up in June as we finally see what's been going on with the disappearances in Austin, and we're looking forward to shifting things a bit and exploring some new stuff together. Thanks to everyone who's been a part of the storylines over the last 12 months, whether you've recently joined or have been here from the beginning. We're excited to see where we go in our second year!

Friending Button Update

Please make sure to run the friending button below as we've had some personnel changes. Unfortunately, we've lost Kat (Sarge, Zik, & Dixie), Jill (Adelaide & Sol), and Amy (Roshan), but if you haven't yet added Joan's new character, Arthur, to your friends list, this is a good time to do it. Tori (Ahna) is also taking a hiatus and we look forward to her return once life slows down. ETA: We've also added Clementine's new character, TJ, to this button!



Plot Post

Do you have any long term goals for your character that haven't yet been realized in-game? What would you LOVE to have them do? We'd like to know where you want your characters to go. Though the following format isn't necessary (and you don't have to answer all the questions), give it a shot if you feel it's useful:
1. I'm glad that CHARACTER has already:
2. This hasn't happened yet, but one of my original goals for CHARACTER was:
3. If CHARACTER did this within the next three months, they'd be overjoyed:
4. CHARACTER really needs to talk about this topic with someone:

And because this is a game in a zombie/apocalyptic setting...
5. If CHARACTER had to deal with this, it would be their worst nightmare (but also provide lots of character growth):
