Ready to get spending? The Points Usage page is here. You can check your point totals (by journal name) on the Taken sheet.

As a small reminder, you only get the 10 points made-a-post bonus for open posts! Closed posts still count for regular comment points, however.

AC Warning;

No one on AC warning!

Characters who haven't met the five comment minimum for AC (and aren't on hiatus) will be listed here. If you're given an AC warning, you have until Dungeon Sign-ups (approximately two weeks) to either get activity or talk with a moderator about hiatusing. People on AC warning will be required to specifically submit activity to a comment header; the mods aren't going to go looking for you.

Characters who joined the game in the last app cycle are exempt from AC Warning.

Handaved CR;

New arrivals and old - what's your routine looking like? Where are you hanging out as you settle down from the first expedition or your sudden arrival into a new world? Feel free to use this post to hash out whatever.

A handy form;

<b>Character name + Journal</b>:<br /><b>Where do they hang?</b>:<br /><b>What are they doing?</b>:<br /><b>Anything else of note?</b>:

Game Updates

INTRODUCING...: Please welcome Claire (Violet Evergarden) to the mod team! She'll be assisting with various mod tasks such as Loot Rolls, dungeon + monster design, and various other Top Secret Shenanigans.

WHAT'S THAT NOISE?: After the construction drones finish setting up a stable near the station for Catria (Wren's pegasus), the drones vanish below ground - however, they can still be heard occasionally. It sounds as though they're hollowing out another section of the cliff near the station...?

A POLL: And on the matter of station updates, would you rather have a library (books! books books books books) or an AV room (audio/visual/etc media) with the mid-cycle update on the dungeon sign-ups? (Note that you will still get the other one eventually, it's just a matter of which you would rather see first.)

HOUSEKEEPING: Have you gotten your character a room on the housing page yet? If you have, please double-check and make sure that your room number is in the comment subject line for the ease of other players looking to see what rooms are taken!

IC INBOXES: Do you have an IC Inbox for the game on your journal yet? Unless your character hasn't grabbed a network device yet, you should probably get one! (And if they haven't, well, why not?) These can also be used for leaving each other gifts and the like. Have fun with it!

AND ONE MORE THING...: Next dungeon is Amesta Forest, a dreamy not-so-little grove to the station's southwest! For some reason, it's shrouded in a strange sort of eternal twilight... Who knows what other effects there might be in this Fissure? (It is possible to guess.)

As always, questions and feedback are welcomed below!

Character name + Journal: akira kurusu (this journal!)

Where do they hang?: currently?? THE BEACH... but, before that, it was primarily kitchen area and rooftop. he prefers to be out and about, so it's actually very difficult to catch him in any sitting area or his, kurama's, and goro's room (after, uh... noon, because getting out of bed before noon is a struggle, some days).

What are they doing?: deeeepends...
beach: looking around for shiny objects, sitting (away from where a valentine's-style shark could get to him??) around, building a fucking sandcastle and aggressively slaughtering any landshark that tries to wreck it...

also naps in weird places apply to this location, so feel free to have it so your character kicked him awake woke his ass up at least once.
chicken room: doing more petting than anything else, probably.......
kitchen: curry!!!!! or trying to learn how to bake stuff. he will offer samples to anyone who ventures in, and bless them if they try anything that involves sugar. because this guy is not very skilled at baking sweets yet. no seriously it might have tasted salty that One Time, because i am fully willing to say he hecked up and put salt instead of sugar.

whoops.

but aside from that? anything that isn't a sweet pastry probably comes out edible? he will have made some improvement by this point, especially if anyone took up the liberty of helping him.
roof: noooooothing too special, just yet. he mainly goes up here to sit and read or write. if anyone manages to get a close enough look at what he's writing, they'll be able to see that he keeps a diary.
Anything else of note?: he kind of keeps to himself and goes about his day, for the most part, and he's a bit prone to getting lost in thought if he sits still for too long with nothing to do (or even when he's trying to read / write), so people are free to have their character having noticed that.

also, again, naps happen? so tbh feel free to use that as handwaved interaction material; he probably dozed off on the roof or that rare moment he hung around a sitting area in general.

hey hey hey Akira play chess with him

also Robin is totally up for playing taste tester. No matter how badly anything's turned out, Robin's probably tasted worse

[beguiledcard]

YES GOOD. he will totally play chess with him.

and may the odds be ever in your favor, brave warrior, on trying a salty muffin that one time. you're probably rescuing goro akechi's tastebuds and don't even know it.

[matchmakes]

Look, he's made carrot stew that literally everyone else in the army said tasted like dishwater, it's fine

probably

[beguiledcard]

p-probably........





okay at least akira won't be quite that bad

[matchmakes]

please teach Robin to not be a total kitchen disaster, Akira

[beguiledcard]

he will do his absolute best and probably drag goro into these lessons. two birds with one stone, as they say.

[matchmakes]

wow

oh yeah Akira can also expect to get prodded by Robin for sleeping in odd places that are particularly uncomfortable-seeming

[beguiledcard]

:>

oidkjsh yes good please do it. if he prods enough maybe it can lead to a reveal that akira doesn't sleep well at night.....

because nightmares reeeeeally suck

[thoroff]

did someone say kitchen disasters because Wren here is just as incompetent as her brother in that regard.

[beguiledcard]

r i p anyone who tries their baking attempts???

[thoroff]

It's a running gag that the avatar characters in the FE games somehow manage to cook food that literally tastes like steel soooooo

[beguiledcard]

i feel like akira would be genuinely impressed by that.........

please have this be a thing he witnessed.

[thoroff]

SURE she's glad she can at least provide some entertainment with her culinary ineptitude if nothing else.

[beguiledcard]

he won't judge her, at least. sob.

[shiritai]

intense whisper: let violet and akira bond over chickens

[beguiledcard]

yes, please... this will make two people he's bonding with over animals.
