NOVEMBER PLOTTING

OOC

☀ We are currently at 20/30 players! As a reminder, players may have up to two characters in the game, and may app their second after passing two consecutive months of AC, of which the initial check-in AC does count.
☀ An OOC post for discussing investigations and theories can be found here
☀ An IC infoshare meeting (dated 10/31) can be found here
☀ And an unofficial game discord can be found here

IC

☀ Looks out the window... The weather continues to get colder as winter approaches, averaging in the high 50Fs to low 20Fs during the day and night respectively. The first two weeks of the month will see on-and-off rain, though it is not yet cold enough for snow to stick, and the wind blows strong enough at times to break off tree branches and send them flying through the air to smack people in the face if they're not paying attention.
☀ In the first half of the month during the rainy spell, the liquified mud of the graveyard acts like quicksand, dragging down anybody who tries to trample over its bones. The lake water, curiously, feels warmer than usual, although still cold. Do not drink the lake water. Animals in the forest appear more agitated than usual, prone to take the initiative and jump at people's faces rather than hiding or running.
☀ The fog gets thicker at night, and there is the feeling of more and more eyes following anybody who wanders outside past dark. Humanoid figures can be seen shrouded in fog at times— running, sitting, stabbing— but just like the town's "monsters," will disappear once a character approaches. For the characters, there will be a feeling of uncertain familiarity towards these shadows, kind of like when you think you recognize somebody but cannot remember their name and maybe you do not know them after all.
☀ Despite Lark's insistence that they'll be here soon, the rest of the townspeople do not magically appear the first Saturday of the month, although the event post will tie into this. There are pending investigations for the train and the dogs, so we'll see if the pit fall spike net interrogation trap does its job, and/or if we're just going to sit back and watch the church bell be destroyed.
☀ No matter how well they've been taken care of, every character's gemstone seems to have an extra chip in it, with its edges marred black.

Go make friends, guys.

spaghettimonster: (TEAM PAPYRUS IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN)

[personal profile] spaghettimonster 2022-11-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Swirl
Character: THE GREAT PAPYRUS (alas, w/o battle body)
sprite of Papyrus, boastful
Canon: Undertale
Plans: Building first impressions with the various characters in the game, dipping Papyrus's foot in the various investigation prompts up for exploring, and establishing where Papyrus is at emotionally with all this stuff. Enthusiasm at befriending so many humans, the various existential concerns, and concern for their future safety are all churning around in there so far.

He's described as someone who "finds difficulty in interesting places," largely in the sense of being someone who makes whimsical changes to his surroundings to increase the challenge for himself (and others). Ask him about his tall sink or the many puzzles he built on the road outside town, back underground. So things like the bell theft and the terrible ideas of a pit trap are right up his alley, and I'd like him to continue participating in / enabling shenanigans like these. Ala may be siccing him on the question of repairing the train??

Eventually he'll start capslocking and sharing selfies with the network, as one does. This may include relaying messages for Sans (who, understandably, is not all about that blood donation thing).
