FEBRUARY OOC INTRO

[phantasmods]

Hello, and welcome to Phantasmal Rift! This post serves as our OOC intro post as well as a CR meme and general game update post!

GAME UPDATES:

SETTING: Nothing new here! Since the game's only just opened, you don't have any new setting pages to explore. But if you haven't yet, be sure to check out the Keystone Station page for all the info on the station itself, as well as the Housing Page to find out about your characters' living situation!

DUNGEONS: This month's dungeon will be the Keystone Shoreline! More information will come later in the month, but there's quite a bit more to it than the beach you explored on the test drive...

CALENDAR: The Game Calendar is currently up to date through the first week of May! This part of the game updates also comes with a poll! Do you want weather updates for the game? Do you want them on the calendar, or as a part of the regular game update, or something else?

APPLICATIONS UPDATE: Due to the near universal difficulties with the app word limit this round, we're upping the maximum to 2000 words. Also your mod is an idiot who forgot the contact info line that's also been fixed.

OTHER UPDATES: Especially since the game is brand new, we're always looking for feedback! If you have any commentary or concerns about the game, please respond to the QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK top-level comment on this post!

AND ONE MORE THING: Because I was a silly goob and forgot to put a line for contact info in the app, pleasepleaseplease fill out that line in the CR meme form so that I can get it on the Taken list, thanks!

Your name: Asher
Contact info: asherdashery; Discord: asherdashery#5061
Who are you?: 28-year-old student in the process of leaving rabbinical school. I'm in Israel right now so my time zone is GMT+2:00/EST+7:00
Character name + Journal: Prompto Argentum photoshooter
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
What's their deal?: Prompto's your typical JRPG lightweight, whiny joker, whose purpose is to cheer the party on and waste all your potions and phoenix downs on account of being the low DEF, high SPD gunner. He's coming in from pretty much the lowest point of his hecking life, AKA the start of a ten-year stretch of sunless, monster-filled, nightmarish suckitude, after a few painful misadventures of his own. With all that to deal with, he's not as bouncy and excitable as he'd normally be, but he'll still want to be as helpful and friendly as he possibly can.
Plotting: Prompto will be spending a lot of time with those chickens, and once he has a little time to recover from his world pretty much literally ending, I'm sure he'll be happy to make friends. Pls to be gentle with him.
Memeingful GIF: Helloooooo!

hey so prompto I'm sorry but guess who is kind of protective of you by default

do you need a teeshirt

[photoshooter]

NO, HE IS A STRONG INDEPENDENT CHOCOBO WHO WOULD NEVER ACCEPT HELP FROM THE ENEMY!!!!




Yes please : ( Though an XL tee is going to be a tent on Prompto

[founderinglight]

let's be real they're going to be kind of tenty on Izunia too. He probably fits mediums. Really long mediums. (also, being Lucians, they are both inherently out of place in white.)

LBR theyre both probably going to need time to like. figure out where they stand towards each other with less crying.

[photoshooter]

Prompto needs at least a 24-hour nap to reset before he talks to Izunia again because Chapter 13 plus getting himself jamjarred was a Bad Combo

He also maybe needs a therapy chicken

And a really long hug

[founderinglight]

i mean Izunia would provide hug but he realizes that would like. Go Badly right now.

[photoshooter]

There are only three people in the multiverse he'd accept a hug from right now and one of them is stUCK IN A ROCK

[founderinglight]

YOU'D TURN DOWN A HUG FROM IRIS? YOU MONSTER

yeah no he gets you and could also kind of use a hug once he gets over the sheer level of "what the fuck is going on" that is having a body again

[photoshooter]

He doesn't deserve a hug from Iris

[dubiouslychthonic]

So a certain troll medic is going to want to check in pretty soon and make sure Prompto really didn't suffer any ill effects from sticking mysterious rock fluids in his mouth.

You know, for science.

And also because she's concerned.

[photoshooter]

HE'S FINE... he's fine... he's not fine, but his not fineness has nothing to do with sticking mysterious rock fluids in his mouth. He'll be happy to see Jetshard again, though. When the obvious alien's the one who doesn't freak you out...

[dubiouslychthonic]

Look, the state of Alternian mental health care is abysmal, potential poisoning is at least something she'd have some idea where to start with helping.

But it's nice to have people who are happy to see her, too. And he seems like a nice weird alien boy.

[photoshooter]

He'll try to be the nicest weird alien boy she'll ever meet.

[beguiledcard]

i'm so happy over this cr already.....

akira is gonna be a little protective of him by default because "oh no must protect the sunshine guy" :T

also he's just. really nice?? akira doesn't even mind being called 'kira by him lmao

[photoshooter]

Prompto is a good sweet boy who deserved nothing that happened to him in his life, ever, and so Akira's instinct to protecc is a good instinct. Though eventually Prompto is going to point out, like, buddy, I'm older than you, I'm an adult, chill, I can take care of myself, like, sometimes.

[beguiledcard]

god, yeah, no kidding on prompto not deserving anything... i swear akira just collects a certain type.

dimly, i realized something... and it kind of hurts that, with them, there's a hi5 on the "we had the crap beat out of us that one time, and never deserved it at all" club thing.

but yes. let this cat-type guy fret over you! it's fine!! it's only a three-year difference, gosh.

[photoshooter]

Only if he's ready to be taken care of RIGHT BACK by the sweetest yellow lab that has ever taken human form!

[beguiledcard]

lmfao... sob

he's never ready for people to take care of him, honestly, so there will be a lot of him declaring he's fine happening, even as he appreciates the thought.

[stormkingofshepherds]

Nathaniel will probably want to protect this sweet sunshine boy. Don't get traumatized and become sad and cynical like him, okay.

[photoshooter]

Uhhhh, too late on the first two counts there, bro

[thekingssnake]

Does he need a ‘mom’ looking after him. He won’t be as great as Iggy but he’ll try.

[photoshooter]

Let's be real, no one is as great as Iggy, but yes, Prompto needs all the moms he can get.

[thekingssnake]

Iggy is the greatest mom. don’t make him scold you if you do something stupid.
