INTRO MEME #1

The time has come, my ghostly pals — The Crossing is here! Thanks so much to everyone who applied; we're so stoked to have you. All comms are open for posting as of today; feel free to dive right in! We've just got a few reminders for you, a few updates, and a shiny CR meme to help y'all get the ball rolling.

REMINDERS

A few things to remember as we get started:

• We're all newbies here, so activity this month is check-in only for everyone. Just don't forget that you need to leave a comment on the AC page to check-in; now's a great time to take care of it!


• The network comm ( thecrossing ) supports written communication only to start out with. Feel free to assume your character has received their device (whatever you decide that may be), and perhaps-cryptically briefed on how it works. ("You can use this to stay in touch with the others.") If you need a refresher on the network, check out the Basics section of the FAQ.


• The Ferryman's IC Contact is live — feel free to chat with them if you like! But keep in mind that The Ferryman cannot be contacted via the network at this time, only in-person.


• The TDM is intended to be used for both app rounds within The Cavern: December (that's you guys), and the upcoming round in January. Please keep an eye on it for new toplevels if you're able.

UPCOMING

What's coming down the pipe from us:

• NPC Quests: there are a few more of you than we expected there would be (so exciting!!), so we're working on adding a handful of extra quests so that there's plenty to work with over the next month. We know we're behind on this, so we hope to have the final write-ups for you this week!


• On Saturday, Dec 14th, The Ferryman will make a network post to more properly introduce the Crossing mechanic and to reveal the theme of the first Crossing (scheduled for mid-January). This will be more geared towards characters conversing amongst themselves, but The Ferryman will be available in a limited way to answer questions as well.


• We've recently added a few new items to our calendar, especially around the Crossing event next month & apps (which we've rearranged a bit), so be sure to take a peek!


• We're planning on adding a few more items to the FAQ now that the game is properly getting started, to include some common questions from you guys, as well as to expand on mechanics that have more recently been finalized (the Memory Bank, Rewards, NPC Quests, etc). We'll let everyone know on the mod plurk when those updates are ready, but please do keep asking us questions if you need any clarification at all along the way!

🕱 OOC INFO 🕱

NAME / PRONOUNS: Hope (she/her)
CONTACT: Either DM this journal or you can reach me at HopeOnWings on Plurk^^
ETC?: EST time zone, though my job is pretty open so you might get tagbacks at any time of the day (or night) XD

🕱 IC INFO 🕱

CHARACTER NAME: Sunny
CANON & CANON POINT: OMORI (Canon point has him post-a certain late game fight - can provide more details, just also avoiding talking openly because Spoilers)
FIRST TOLL: The smell of his sister’s cooking :(

PLANS: Oh boy. Not a bunch of plans starting out aside from *survive in the afterlife.* Poor Sunny isn’t really perturbed by the fact that he’s dead… but he can definitely get spooked by the setting!

CR WISHES: Someone please be his friend (or don’t - I’m not forcing anyone to ^^)!

CR OFFERS: If you can hang around Sunny, he can lead you down a pleasant friendship or the worst of nightmares ^^ I am very aware Sunny, at his worst, can be a walking trigger/trauma dump, so I’m doing my best on tagging any warnings in the subject matter. If there’s anything that you want me to not bring up in RP or you don’t want to interact with Sunny at all, please feel free to utilize his opt out ^^ It’s something I take quite seriously. Aside from that… Omori shouldn’t(?) be a problem? At least for a while. Sunny isn’t calm enough here to access Headspace, so expect lots of video game analogies.

ETC?: Permissions, CW, and How’s my Driving, as well as link to Inbox, are all on his journal! I can never get the embed images to work so…

The little ghost border on this page is giving me Humphrey flashbacks. If you know, you know~ Otherwise looking forward to playing with everyone!

Well, heard he needs a friend! Can't traumatize kel more than he already is given the circumstances of his death, buddy!

[solitarynote]

The Trauma is yet to come, my friend

Sunny will be both relieved and feeling awful about Kel being here (though you already know that :D ). Looking forward to two buds just braving another Three Days of Disaster (or something)!

With Mari around, Sunny won't need a stand-in sister, but Frieda will still dote on him too - maybe on both of them, in fact (though from what I gleaned Omori ages are a little vague, so I'm not sure if she's the oldest at 18)!

[solitarynote]

Sunny will definitely feel relieved with Frieda around! (Maybe even a little more relieved than with his sister ^^;)

Omori ages are kind of vague, but Frieda would be the oldest among them! Sunny and Mari (with the time shenanigans of their death moments) are both around 16 at this point ^^

[urtitan]

They can consider themselves pseudo-adopted, then! ♡
