AC Warning;

Everyone's new! So there isn't one of these. In the future, characters who haven't met the five comment minimum for AC (and aren't on hiatus) will be listed here. They'll have until Dungeon Sign-ups (approximately two weeks) to get their acts together and 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;

You've only been here a week - hardly long enough to truly settle into a routine. Still, if there's a particular location your character can always be found out, an activity they're always doing, a terrifying kind of soda they're always drinking, feel free to use this post to hash that out and establish your routines!

A handy form;

Game Updates

WEATHER: Based on player feedback, weather will become part of the regular update, with significant weather also on the calendar! (This is to keep the calendar from becoming clogged with an extra update on every single day, so that major/OOC events are still visible at a glance.)

The weather until the next game update (Dungeon Sign-Ups on Tuesday Feb 27) is as follows;

• 2/19-23; Overcast and cool; no precipitation; occasional sunbreaks, but none longer than an hour.
• 2/24-25; Rain, starting in the afternoon of the 24th and continuing until the evening of the 25th. Usually a faint, steady drizzle, with occasional spurts of 'run for cover' level heavy rain.
• 2/26-27; Sunny, with mist in the morning that clear off by midday. Still fairly cool, not quite cold enough to frost.

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!

PERMISSIONS POST ROUND-UP: The following players have opt-in/out permissions posts for players both new and old to respond to;

• beguiledcard
• byanyother_name
• fantasykiller
• foolishjustice
• have_hat_will_travel

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 also tell your lovely mod where it's at so he can put it on the Taken spreadsheet.

AND ONE MORE THING...: Got your beach gear in order? Dungeon previews are coming next week, but you already know what's coming: Keystone Shore, the Fissure from the first Test Drive, is waiting!

As always, questions and feedback are welcomed below!

Comments

[riderofcharlemagne]

Character name + Journal: Astolfo @ riderofcharlemagne
Where do they hang?: He could be found wandering around any parts of the station, but he's most likely to be found at:
- common area
- kitchen
- rooftops
What are they doing?: Checking out everything here, trying to sate his endless curiosity. He's rarely in his room because he's far too extroverted for that. He'll be looking for people to talk to, things to do- he'll aim to do most socializing in the common area.

In the kitchens he'll probably be trying out different foods; whilst snacking is unnecessary for him it sure is fun. He's also probably keeping a watchful eye out for anyone trying to cook (so he can sample it).

Astolfo doesn't bother with sleep, so he'll spend nights on the rooftops to look at the stars, preventing his lancing from getting rusty, and then wandering around the rest of the station once those two things have bored him.
Anything else of note?: Please stop making him watch people drink Dr. Jalapeno.

[foolishjustice]

He's probably noticed there are nights Goro is out and about...much later than he should be.

[riderofcharlemagne]

He's gonna carry you to bed, Young Man >:I

...


Except he won't because he loves company. He'll be a terrible enabler and drag him into late-night shenanigans instead

[foolishjustice]

And here he was worried he'd be bored all night, without his work or video games. It's no fun being the only one up.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Nothing more valuable than a friend who doesn't need sleep!

...though he is bound to ask what on earth Goro is doing up at this hour

[foolishjustice]

He's just...restless, that's all! Y-yeah, new place, so much to think about, it's hard to sleep! /Sips coffee.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Suuuuure it is...

(the worst part is he can make coffee out of thin air whenever he likes, so he can't do anything to stop him)

[foolishjustice]

Is this a face that would lie?

(Yeah, that really is the worst part of Goro having this power...there's nothing anyone can do to cut him off.)

[riderofcharlemagne]

Don't give him that face, he has a weakness for cute things...

[foolishjustice]

He will make cute faces all he wants! He's good at looking harmless and innocent.

[riderofcharlemagne]

It's too powerful!

[foolishjustice]

Mwahaha, his secret weapon is working!

[riderofcharlemagne]

Ah, curse Astolfo’s E-Rank cuteness defense...

[bulletnews]

Aya only sleeps sometimes, so I'm thinking they might have run into each other a couple times overnight.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Nighttime is just extra time to socialize!

[byanyother_name]

....Will he be asking for those samples or trying to swipe? Because trying to sneak food Kurama is cooking may not get him very far. XD

[riderofcharlemagne]

He would be asking.

Very persistently.

Basically begging

[byanyother_name]

Okay, that will get an amused sigh and Kurama taking pity on him.

Taste this and tell him if it needs more salt.
