JUNE PLOTTING: LET'S GO TO THE BEACH, BEACH

[sticksandbonesmods]

SETTING UPDATES:

• Summer has arrived! It’s sweltering, the sun is shining brightly, and the flowers are in full bloom. Sometimes, biblically accurate bees bumble from flower to flower. They aren’t dangerous, they are important to the ecosystem, please treat them with respect.
• Passenger built a cafe. It’s called the Magic Lamp, and it lies south of the therapy building with a riverside view on the deck. When he isn’t attending to it, the spirit of a capitalist can be seen running it. Like with the ghost in Luca’s bar, this one also isn’t capable of communication with you, but understands basic commands (and also begs for tips).
• Elsword’s house is gone! Goodbye house! The eyeball lemon trees he planted remain.
• SilverAsh is cleaning up the burned town. In a month or two, perhaps it’ll be stable enough to walk on without risking falling into a sinkhole? We’ll see. :)
• Callan remains Corrupted, but some progress has been made to fixing him! Hm hmmm.
• The Moon Seance (Seeyonce if you want to have a verbal tic for the next week you’re welcome) went well? Or perhaps saying it simply “went” is more accurate. Characters involved have learnt about Ourania, her condition, and how to get home. A short summary lives in the first two comments on this thread. The actual conversation that was threaded out is this way, if you’d like to peruse more.
• Mizuki also made friends with the Cosmic Serpent that lives in the whirlpool in the sea, with Sesa as his cohort in this. The Serpent is in possession of a sun artifact from Terra now. Time will tell what this means, if anything.
• Affogato has named the Fallen Sun/False God/Creature “Śuri”... time will tell what this means :). This information is not ICly known unless Affogato chooses to share it with the class, which means Zahliya and Nene don’t know, which means Affogato is spared being strangled by two shorties… for now.

PLOT UPDATES:

• Run.
• …aka we’re going to the beach! The overall map has been updated accordingly — the three new maps for this event are at the bottom of the usual gallery. How we get there is very silly, but know that it involves Moder permanently altering some of the trees with her forest magic to create a permanent (safe) pathway down that isn’t near the Lighthouse where the Danger is.
• Unfortunately, the Creature, who is not fond of the ocean, is now tired of y’all and is trapping you down there with its magic. Stay on the beach and go play in your water you’re all weird ewww — yes, Moder will also be stuck on the beach with you. It will take her the month to break through the Creature’s magic to put you all back, but after this, the beach will be permanently accessible.
• Other NPCs will be stuck with you — this will include the usual crop of contactable NPCs. Sinann, Callan, and the Behemoth will not be with you, Sinann is a freshwater Guardian you see. That said, if you harass the Cosmic Serpent enough, they might wake up from slumber to ask you wtf you want and babysit you. Heimr and Ydalir’s regular facilities will be accessible — Ydalir’s tent and giant turtle will be the same as always, and Heimr will be set up with his own beachfront store in an old building that looks like it needs some cleaning up. You can help him with this for dad’s love points.
• Heimr will provide everyone one (1) swimsuit and one (1) beach outfit in either surfer or boho style, your choice, for free upon arrival.
• As for places to live, fret not: Through a low cave filled with corals and glowing crystals is a pier where cute cabanas are set up for you to live in. There are a limited amount of these, so you might have to room with someone. Each has an attached kitchen and bathroom like the picture so that you guys don’t smell like seawater all month and can, y’know, eat food.
• The ocean cave will flood with the high tide at night, so unless you can breathe underwater, traversing the cave isn’t recommended. Better get to bed before it floods! Or don’t, we’re not your parents.
• This is going to be a “do whatever you want” beach event, please do whatever you want. Climb things, walk to the lighthouse, throw coconuts at each other, again we aren’t your parents.
• Yes, there are horrible Subnautica creatures here. More info to come. You theoretically won’t be attacked by the Sticks version of a reaper leviathan… yet.
• Next month will have more ocean surprises, stay tuned. :)

OOC UPDATES:

• Happy summer! As stated in prior plotting posts, summer is going to involve fun but theoretically low-stress events. You are welcome to shift the plot around while you’re here despite the fact we the mods consider these events plot-light. We’re here for whatever crimes you commit.
• Unhappy summer: The program Wolfie uses to make the maps is shutting down in a couple months, meaning future map updates past… July? August? Who even knows anymore man— may be much slower, which says a lot because they’re already pretty darn slow. Wolfie will be learning how to make maps in RPGMaker to compensate because if we don’t have the coolest map in DWRP, Wolfie will blow up. Thank you for coming (if there are easier programs to use please drop Wolfie a DM she’s trying her best).
• As always if we forgot something in the plotting post, please let us know so we can edit!

QUESTIONS

[sticksandbonesmods]

[lupusxylem]

Important question: I know the beach stuff will be happening on a stretch of beach that isn't near the Lighthouse, but will it be visible from the Lighthouse?

Cause if so Adrian is definitely going to hear people and be perched on top of it vibrating the entire time just sayin

[clottedcream]

hi cc is AT THE BEACH he WILL be swimming like 99% of the time and he craves exploring and looking for treasure. SO what sort of things will he be able to find underwater? anything exciting? shipwrecks? bones? ships made out of bones?

wolfie brings an offering of four birds

[eidxiety]

ain first because he has the braincell

[eidxiety]

Status: Ain just arrived last month and he has already pissed several people off and been a general nuisance. This is pretty much his personality, he'll calm down a little bit when he gets used to people. He's like an anxious cat. That doesn't mean he won't call you all by dumb nicknames which will be your names forever, it just means he might try to be less rude. Try being the operative term because Ain is too socially inept to realise when he's being straight-up rude when he's not trying to be straight-up rude.

Most of his lore info lives on this entry post so I won't reiterate it here and instead ask you to read sorry— the only slight correction I'll have this time around is the fact that he's "quiet", Ain is taken from a later canon point than when I wrote this the first time. True quiet characters don't work well in DWRP anyway. He does however love to people-watch and mimic them because he's Learning To Human so if he's weird and watches you do things just let him.

As an aside, characters with supernatural sense will be able to tell he's an angel, and you're free to call him out on this/just fucking mention it whenever to whoever. The sooner it comes out that he's an angel (and lying about it) the sooner I get to bust out his angel form let's go—

AS FOR THE BEACH WHICH IS THE POINT OF THIS POST i wrote this post, i should focus... Ain will be bringing himself, his owldog, and his church pigeon to the beach. I think we'll call the church pigeon Zinnia. He knows how to swim and will want to explore the environment, so even though I am a mod you are free to grab Ain for any investigations and be like yeah he's totally here.

Seeking: CR in general! Ain has a handful of course but I didn't get him out there as much as I physically could have last month due to the fact that I uhhh (looks at my three other birds) anyway. The boy needs friends to replace the friends he lost, he is mega-dissociating about it because he's like :) surely :) they'll be fine without me back home :) even though I left in the middle of the demon realm :) it's fine :) Also this is less "seeking" and more "sillies", but Ain can be very /casually flirts with u once he gets to know someone more. He won't do this to anyone underage obviously but if this is going to upset anyone just lmk and I will wrangle the Ain.

Not Seeking: nothing come at me, i'm letting my favourite son out of his box

Anything Else: I have an opt-in/opt-out for Ain's powers which are very specific because he is obnoxiously powerful. I think most people here are aware of it but I'm putting it down here for those that missed it... It's not in my journal nav oops I'll fix that later. For regular old opt-outs please go to my permissions post though, this one is specifially for Ain's whack-ass sensory abilities.

Meme:

harque who is also new :)

[selenokinesis]

Status: Harque also just arrived! He has made it public knowledge that he's dead back home and for a while he thought this was the afterlife. This is not the afterlife. Wow.

Anyway he has an about page (shorter than Ain's) (because he died) if you want to know things. The super tl;dr is he invented time magic and is a healer yayyy. He's very inexperienced with a lot of magic though, please help him learn things. Harque is wildly powerful with no idea how to control all of this.

For the beach... the man has albinism, he will be sunscreened/parasol'ed/dressed in something not super skimpy but also breathable. If anyone wants to teach him to swim then like please teach him to swim. He's excited to see the ocean he is just so liable to fry like a lobster lmao.

Seeking: CR !! In general !!!! A buddy to read with. Someone to tell him that the way his parents raised him is not fucking normal.

Not Seeking: shrugs nebulously come at me. maybe don't kill harque rn for a little bit tho let him live for now.

Meme:

a pigeon

[forwander]

Character: Elliot "Passenger" Glover, who will ask you to refer to him by his codename Passenger unless you are Sesa, who gets to call him Elliot because they're kissing or something like that—

Status: Me last month: I'm gonna get Passenger out there more haha (and then I did this so hard that he opened a cafe and also infected Pure Vanilla with Oripathy whoops). So anyway, he's had quite the time, he just wants a nap. Maybe a forever nap. Sesa has been protecting him lately though so that's been nice for him, and with the cafe he has discovered the therapy that is cooking. I haven't modified the locations page yet (sorry) but I'll probably make a custom menu for it with cool HTML so that I feel productive and link that there. It is entirely middle Eastern food and coffee and the sort, if you just google for that you'll get basically what's on the menu for vibes.

Anyway that doesn't matter now that we're going to the beach so lol— anyway Passenger will be less engaged with the ocean than he reasonably should be because, due to living in Sargon (the middle east-) his entire life, he has a disdain for sand and how it gets everywhere. I will get him out there a little bit this month though.

Seeking: a nap. someone to braid his hair. but a nap.

Not Seeking: ?? nothing come at me

Anything Else: Since we have new folks I need to make my usual disclaimer: due to his Oripathy, Passenger exhibits some psychosis signs and these are all him talking to a split-off portion of his psyche who takes the appearance of his child self. I haven't pulled this out of my hat in a bit, but this is Little Elliot. Passenger talks to himself (literal). Anyway if this will be upsetting to anyone you may tell me "Wolfie no" and I will not do it in front of you.

Meme: Rubie didn't make me new pigeon memes so I have nothing—

a crane

[succiduous]

Character: Gnosis Edelweiss(-Silverash)

Status: Gay, as usual. Enriched in his enclosure because he made many prosthetics lately. NOT drinking!!! That will change this month because he will be away from the lab and out in the hot and he will have a terrible time that only liquor can help him with. He's gonna be that bitch that drinks a piña colada out of a coconut half. I love him but god.

Anyway Gnosis without the lab means Gnosis will be outdoors exploring things, that cave will interest him he will be in it for way too long taking samples. I probably? won't TL with Gnosis this month unless it's one post that's like "gnosis offers you liquor" because that is just going to be his thing, unless people specifically want to do nerd shit with him? He will find cool rocks and shells and dig a hole idk.

Seeking: more friends for bird. more enrichment. give him a problem to solve.

Not Seeking: don't murder him yet-

Meme:

tal's tots

[submittome]

Affogato oops im finally doing these

[submittome]

Character: Affogato
Status: Committing Crimes. No really. In Spite for being Banished by Dark Cacao, Affogato went ahead and contacting the Fallen Sun based on writings he found in his handwriting from the past. He then proceeded to give the Creature a Name, as you do when you're trying to suck up to Power. To get Power. You know how it goes.

Then Dark Cacao turned around and was like hey :) thanks for being a Good Boy and had to have Fel act as a liaison cause he really fucking sucks at communication, and now Affogato is in a state of confusion. Doesn't help everyone came over like hey, need to talk? He doesn't know what to do.

He's prolly gonna cause more chaos??? Cause clearly that's what you do when you're confused. He's going to enjoy his time on the beach once he figures out how to stop sand from going in weird places. He's gonna make cosmetics, more jewelry, and hate being sweaty but enjoy being able to walk in water without being sogged.

Seeking: Gentle CR is great but someone be snarky as fuck with him, go back and forth, put him back in his proper state of mind. He's used to being sniped at, let him snipe in return. It pleases the cat.

Not Seeking: I don't want his affiliation out yet. It'll come, sure, but not yet. Let him learn love and friendship, and regret.

Anything Else: Awfulthoto. Aw-a-catto. He will kiss you.

Meme:
NONE TODAY.

Pure Vanilla

[purevanillacookie]

Character: Pure "Peepaw" Vanilla
Status: Broke his Souljam to give a piece of it to Ourania. The consequences are not yet fully known, but one thing is for certain. He's not Immortal anymore! (Technically the Souljam grants immortality in a "ages very very slowly" manner.) He'll adjust to the chunk taken out, then break off another piece for Beiwe. As you do. His Truth sight will slowly get darker/stop working as it breaks apart. When it's gone entirely. Well, we'll find out!

He's also sort of forcefully just adopting the entire grove. These are all his children. I'm sorry. He loves you. He also proposed to Dark Cacao at the dance. Every is welcome when they eventually throw a wedding.

He's going to be absolutely pleased with the beach but also terribly full of anxiety over his children wandering into the ocean. Please be careful!! Please don't go too far out!! Or you're going to make the sheejesus bleat plaintively on the beach to try and herd you back in.

He's also manning the clinic and working on a cure for Oripathy. Once he gets that down, he's going to help empower Zahliya for the corruption maybe.

Seeking: Everything. More children.

Not Seeking: Give me everything. :|

Anything Else: Please fill this out! Souljam Truth Vision thing. Basically it's what would Peepaw see looking @ the truth of your soul with his Souljam. Very little is hidden from it. Or well, used to be. It's broken now. Feel free to obscure or place in something that might be "false".

Meme:
Still no memes :(

Beat

[soundsurfing]

Character: Beat
Status: Beat is a Werewolf, who is just one big dog brain stuck inside a meat body. So he's been chilling, mostly! He's plotting something for the Summer Equinox for Beiwe, which will be ... actually on the beach, apparently! And that's very gay to have something for Beiwe prolly close to where her gf's statue is. Honestly, what better time to celebrate the Goddess of the Sun proper than on the Beach with your guns out.

I hope y'all are ready.

Other than that, he's a big dog and he just wants to be friends and a big brother to everyone. He's shockingly good at emotional intelligence, so if you need Dog Therapy he's there but also he may tell you to just stop thinking and dig a hole with him. As you do. He's also mildly corrupted, but is got major ptsd of fire and prolly doesn't wanna be purified in case that's what happens when Zahliya purifies. He dunno, he's not risking it.

Seeking: Everything and nothing in particular, he's just vibing right now.

Not Seeking: See above.

[amethystic]

Character: felicity morais
Status: she's starting to get better! shes' still not confident in her control of her magic to not fuck up and destroy a prosthetic, but she's not being a massive fucking recluse anymore. admittedly, pv rather gently-yet-aggressively taking her in and passenger inviting her to help with the cafe did a LOT for her, in a really good way.

she's refusing to be bothered this month. stuck on the beach? just like home! she's also... starting to open up a little more, and i am considering regaining her cats, because she misses them terribly.

in terms of cabana-staying she would actually prefer to be on her own if possible since they're kinda...small... and she doesnt want to intrude on any of the many couple's privacy anyways. but if theres no room theres no room.

while she does plan on playing in the ocean and chilling in the sun, her real goal is going to be using beach-side plants and flowers to make cosmetics lmao. she might go shelling. bring her fresh fish and she'll cook them for you. otherwise? shes vibing
Seeking: joy and love
Not Seeking: anything that'd make her Not Fun, i am FIXING the felicity. do not unfix her
Anything Else: who's ready to find out about felicity's many, many, many scars :') she wears long skirts and jackets for a reason
Meme:

lucif-- I mean joshua

[leggierissimo]

Character: Joshua

Status: Living his best life, as much as he can while not in a city! He has entertainment, and that meets like 90% of his personal needs. This month has been great A+ 10/10 no notes.

Honestly he is just chilling. Keeping an eye on the journals for anything fun. Taking care of Revati and forming a plan to go looking for other stars. He needs to get out more but I'm not his dad.

For beach fun times he is largely going to be spending his time either in a cabana or on the beach on a towel and firmly under an umbrella he will not be getting out into the sun thank you very much. He will also not be swimming. He does not swim he probably can't swim lbr

Seeking: More entertainment. People that are pissed off at him. Friends. He is not seeking friends but I am seeking friends for him I WILL make this man have friends I swear to god

Not Seeking: There is nothing I am not seeking BRING IT ON

Anything Else: If you haven't filled it out before, please fill out Joshua's permissions post! He has some abilities that definitely require permission beforehand.

[clottedcream]

Character: Clotted Cream Cookie
Status: Surviving! He is slowly adjusting to life without an arm and things are getting???? easier??? by the day. It still sucks but he's not letting it slow him down. He's more or less out of recovery now so he should be getting out and about more often soon!

He is also yearning for deep-seated CRAU memory loss reasons that he cannot remember over Sparkling, who was present for the TDM but has not been apped just yet so the rule of funny is that he's been looking for Sparkling and just keeps missing him or something.

AS FOR BEACH TIME. HOO BOY IS HE GETTING OUT. CC is a mer and his forms are saltwater-based ones so the ocean is going to be his jam. He will more or less live in the ocean constantly. He will sleep in the water under the docks you can't stop him. This boy will be THRIVING. Have you ever seen a shrimp merman? Do you want to???? He is here for all your shramp needs. And possibly jebbly needs also if he feels like being tiny.

Seeking: Any and all CR! He needs to build his CR base. He's been mostly isolated to the other cookies and I want to change that.

Not Seeking: Nothing. Gib me everything.

[mooninthewater]

Character: Mizuki (Arknights)
Status:

A wordy bitch summary of Mizuki

Hi. Hello. Welcome to my ramble of who Mizuki is as a person for those of you new to Me and my little blorbo.

Mizuki was born as an Aegir - a seafaring race from Terra based on water animals. In his case, a moon jellyfish. Aegir are also based a bit on sirens, forming societies underwater once upon a time, and having a language based on melody and song (and also it's just ancient Norse-). Mizuki's voice has a mild amount of supernatural charm and equal parts ominous to him, both from his more siren-y roots, and also his Seaborn nature.

Which brings us to Seaborn. Mizuki is no longer considered an Aegir, and is a Seaborn - a species of seafaring "monsters" from Terra. They share a hivemind with their four "gods", all eldritch and very Bloodborne-esque in the way they function and think. Seaborn adapt and evolve rapidly based on their environments, and have rapid healing on top of that. They have blue blood compared to the standard red, and usually have very little in the way of independence, resistance to the voice of their gods and free will. Mizuki is a special case in this regard.

Mizuki has tons (roughly 30) of tentacles that he keeps constantly hidden with his camouflage. If they're visible, staring at them causes mild fear that ramps up based on how long you look, and can cause headaches and dizziness. He also has a neurotoxin stored in them that can be injected via sting, causing even worse fear and hallucinations that affect all the senses. (It's implied in canon he can also cause hallucinations without the sting, as that's something based on pheromones, but for now unless it becomes relevant we'll just keep it simple and say it's part of the toxins because good lord, boy this is so much-)

Mizuki is immune to disease and poison. However, this means that he is entirely unable to use anything that is considered a "double-edged sword" so to speak. From his world, that would be Originium, which can infect the user with improper use, but also grants them the "magic". As such, he's completely unaware of how magic of any kind works and he's not good at it--

He can also blorp under doors dwbi

Personality wise, Mizuki is a sweet, polite boy. He loves to make friends, and he's a bit socially unaware sometimes, but he's very willing to help out wherever he can. Upon talking with him more, it's clear there's something a bit off about him. He doesn't really think like normal people does. He has problems making decisions for himself. He thinks there's a "right" and a "wrong" and that's it, but doesn't know which is which. He wants to do the right thing, truly, but he freezes up if you try to ask him which is which.

Also he'll occasionally say terrifying things with a smile. Not a menacing smile, just... genuinely doesn't see a problem with it.

Mizuki's very easy to entertain, but if you bore him enough the cheeriness from him is usually replaced with a sense of apathy. He never really "dislikes" anyone, but you can certainly assume he doesn't consider you a friend if you see this side of him. Otherwise, Mizuki is very emotional. He's just really in touch with his emotions and he'll cry when he's sad. he is small.

And I've rambled too much here so uhh oops ignore all this ig and just ask me what's up with Mizuki on discord you'll be stuck listening to me ramble for 38 hours.

Elsword is dead! Add is gone! You would think losing his boyfriend and his commander all in one fell swoop would inflict the depression on this jellyfish, but he's still a ray of sunshine, actually. Also, he ate Elsword and talks about him like he's still here, so! He's very well adjusted.

He got up to a lot of shenanigans in May! Beyond the above, he spoke with Callan, he made friends with the Cosmic Serpent and he regained some laser tag stuff and also A Cow. He's practicing moon magic, and he's also getting more plant-y stuff growing on him re: his seaborn evolution. It absolutely looks like corruption so he's bandaging it all up so he doesn't worry anyone haha-

Otherwise, he's vibing! He's having a good time! The works! He's been here for a good sum of months now so he knows the works particularly well. He's mostly just trying to gauge how everyone else is feeling at this point, and trying to help people out the best he can.

He's also incredibly liable to lurk on people. I'll generally try to ask if it's alright if Mizuki sees xyz thing because he just canonically camouflages and follows people around, but feel free to tell me no, that's fine. Alternatively, if you're like "hey Mizuki SHOULD watch this, I want him too, give me the freak jellyfish" you can do that too--

Seeking:

General

- In general, I'm always seeking new CR. Mizuki loves to make friends and he says some mildly unhinged things sometimes that makes for fun threads. Let him pick your brain, let him excitedly show you video games, let him talk about his special interest, Mizuki is autistic-
- He just lost a commander as well, and while Affogato has very recently taken on that role now, it's Very Fresh, and if u wanted to do something w that w Tal and I, I'm sure we would love to discuss shenanigans.
- Mizuki also needs a new partner to hold hands with. It's a very bad idea to do this, he's very Yandere, but consider I'm a monster and want it anyway.
- Patients for psychology stuff. He's not licensed or rly even good at it but that's the fun of it-
- Someone who wants to talk to the hivemind because that sounds like so much fun tbh
- Someone who wants to teach Mizuki how to make decisions maybe?? :thinking:
- Exploring buddies! Take him with you! Let him discover lore with you and stop doing it on his own because good lord-
- Mizuki is going to be breaking into people's room to cuddle them at night, sorry
- come talk to Mizuki he is an open book
- help mizuki take care of cow

Month Specific

- I have plans for this month and I don't know how to word them but I'm gonna do my best. uh. Mizuki's going to sleep in the cave underwater because he missed saltwater
- the cuddling thing will be worse with the cabanas sorry to everyone I hope you're ready to be cocooned in tentacles in the morning
- Mizuki's also going to explore the ocean so uh idk if someone has some sort of underwater walkie talkie or some shit maybe we could do something there
- Mizuki's also gonna go out and read to the cosmic serpent if anyone wants to join him-
- laser tag .... at some point. maybe not this month bc we're stuck on the beach, but maybe I could wink aggressively at Wolfie idk.
- emotional support Mizuki's gonna be so happy but so sad to be by the ocean
- surprise stuff.................... dw. u can always rope me into things if u wanna do something fun I'm here for it.
- blend the jellyfish

Character: Dipper Pines

Status: He just got here and is slowly learning who everyone is and where they are and what the fuck is going on. He's been bullied into staying at the inn, but he makes frequent trips to the burned town area to fix up his family's place.

Seeking: LETS GET CR GOING he's super new so I'm gonna be throwing him around a lot to get established. ANYONE WANT A WEIRD GREMLIN FOR A CABANA MATE

Not Seeking: Nothing romantic probably. He has a boyfriend in another dimension still.

Anything Else: He wants to go touch the horror creatures. someone stop him. ALSO Dipper has an opt-in/out for his weird Deer Country powers that is worth a quick read! i'm sorry if the post is incoherent i am on my third cup of coffee

[eidxiety]

Ain will probably drift between cabanas all the time but hell yeah he'll share with Dippindots, they can gremlin at each other and not sleep because they're too busy doing fucking crimes. Ain also won't stop Dipper from touching the horror creatures tho he'll be like oh i'll come with you haha I can keep you out of trouble ^^ and then they'll both get beaten up—

livio

[livlaughlove]

Status: livio has been having a Time since march. terrible things keep happening to his boyfriends, so he has been sticking very close by them [ic excuses for hiatus ACTIVATE]. maybe seeing a real life ocean will snap him out of it a little. like his castmates, he comes from a planet with literally no bodies of water sooo uhhhhhhh he can't swim and he is in awe. he will probably try to drink seawater and make himself sick. please laugh at him.

he will also take some convincing to wear swimwear/go shirtless/etc bc he is ashamed of his giant ripped lab rat body, but when he does feel free to tell him that being able to theoretically crush your head like a grape is actually super hot and he will shrimply die of embarrassment. it'll be funny for everyone i prommy

Seeking: more friends always. up for negative cr too but good fucking luck, he may be a little reserved but he secretly sees the good in [almost] everybody

Not Seeking: no SUPER intense negative stuff plz as i am trying to ease my way back in to rp without getting overwhelmed

Chi's Men

[lupusxylem]

[lupusxylem]

Character: Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Status: Bro Wolfwood has been Stressed. Like he's Fine, nothing immediately terrible has been happening, but also Vash exploding into a bug and being corrupted now? Kinda stressful!! He's already since worked things out with him so they're fine, but that doesn't mean he isn't 20x more worried about his wellbeing now than he was before. He'll be trying to help monitor his corruption progress and, not gonna lie, he will probably start trying to help seek the corruption cure with those who are working on it if at all possible. So if you want to loop WW into that at all help me up, he's not magical so he can't help there but if you need someone who can shoot things idk he's your man.

He is not going to be as insanely thrilled about beach time as Sesa is, but he will appreciate the change in scenery. You see, No Man's Land did not have oceans (at least not where he was located, but also like I don't think in general given the insane water shortage and desert seas), so this man has never seen the sea ever in his fucking life. If you notice him just kindof sitting and staring at it its because he doesn't even know how to process this much water. Like what the fuck.

This also means he probably can't swim. Nobody I play can swim, it's tragic. He'll be getting his Heimr mandated swim trunks either way because I'm not depriving the world of this man's chest, alright. Also he's bringing his Husky to the beach. Her name is Angelina and she's no longer a tiny puppy, but is in that weird adolescent teenage dog stage where her limbs are too long for her body. She has RBF but is a giant sweetheart.

Seeking: Anything and everything! I know Wolfwood can be a grouch and a little hard to interact with sometimes and I worry that might be offputting to some people, so if there's ever any issue with that please let me know. He's opened up a lot in his time here believe it or not, and even though he's grumpy he's an incredibly good person deep down. But also if you like, WANT just negative snappy cr with him that I am also good for lmao-

Not Seeking: Nothing heavy/serious/death happening please I want a chill summer

Anything Else: So update from the previous plotting post, I am working full time now and will very soon be settled into my position from a long four weeks of training, which means things are actually going to mellow out a lot. We're in the [extremely dead] portion of the year meaning I'll have a lot of down time, so activity shouldn't be an issue. We will be putting a pin in this and revisiting it come August because that's when things will be picking up and getting insane but it's fine that's a problem for future chi-

Aspen's Flock of Dipshits

[oleaeuropaea]

(is two characters a flock? we just don't know.)

anyway big addendum to any posts about my guys. i am doing my best to scramble out of a slowatus so apologies if things are still a little slow going. i'm back to work on monday which might halt things more than usual, hence why i wanna get this done now!

Vash the Stampede

[oleaeuropaea]

Character: Vash the Bug Stampede

Status: Hooboy! Vash's transformation is now complete, which means he's fully looking like this (thank you Chi once again). No one is happy about this, least of all Vash, so he'll be doing his best to at least try to keep his distance. Naturally he'll fail because for some reason, people in the grove really like him so...

Of course he'll be at the beach and completely wowed by it. He's only heard stories and seen pictures of oceans, so actually experiencing it is going to be a treat. Please fully expect him to do something stupid like try to swim without having much practice. He's going to try and learn from Angelina. The student becomes the master. Etc.

He... uh. Also will be trying to venture toward the Lighthouse when no one is looking. If asked, he'll pretend he's trying to clean up Ourania's statue again (and he will be doing that too!), but really he's trying to check on Adrian. Despite his near death experience, he's very worried about the guy!

Seeking: New friends, minor squabbles, stupid and silly stuff.

Not Seeking: Nothing too intense because of the above reason (though I'm sure fucking with Adrian will cause #problems).

Anything Else: i love everyone in this bar thanks

papa

[winterfrosting]

Character: Dark Cacao Cookie
Status: DC had a very exciting past month! He got engaged??? his traitorous advisor/ex showed, his fiance decided to both get rock cancer and tear off a chunk of soul. He got a dog.

Mostly he's just dealing with Personal Drama, so hasn't been involved in the Plot much outside showing the moon his dog which I'm sure will have great plot outcomes at some point.

Seeking: Mostly just wanna get him out more outside the cookie cr circle! He's gonna spend the beach time learning how to swim and fishing and generally having a relaxing dad vacation. Please get him drunk at least once.

Not Seeking: Nothing specific
Anything Else: Depending on when the next chapter of his canon drops he might be canon updating soon which should be Fun. Which is a fun way of saying there might be Even More Personal Drama on the way if folks don't wanna have to icly deal with that.

I enjoyed their weird, stoic talks before. Also I just think DC needs more alcohol after having to deal with his ex. Especially because Luca already can't stand said ex.
