Cool. Just gonna lay out some general expectations first.

Dunno how many slots I'll have, but it'll be a small group. I don't intend on having this run too long either; once the investigation is done, the RP is done. I just wanna finish things, mannnnn. I just wanna have some character arcs concludeeeeee.

I'd generally like people to post at a relatively regular pace. Maybe once a week or once every two weeks. Collabs are unlikely, so if you just have some dialogue, there's no need to stress about making too big a post every time.

Will probably do some more writeups over the holiday. Maybe expect a CS template late next week. OOC won't be launched until I know who to accept, so that's probably gonna be sometime in January.

With regards to the existence and status of other nations...I'll say that they exist, but that no character need to concern themselves with them. After shit started going sideways in Japan, the Americans evacuated a month or two in after receiving an executive order from President Clinton, leaving equipment behind that was promptly commandeered by various nefarious forces. Japan basically got designated the sort of place that no airline is really willing to fly into, though exports still happen via ships and all. As things stabilized after a few years, imports started coming in as well, but Japan is still considered the sorta place where tourism is so heavily discouraged that you'll have to sign a will, get a psychiatrist to sign off on your mental wellness, and then sign up with like, a North Korean-tier tourism company that'll supervise you for the entire duration of your stay.

Of course, sorcerers exist across the world too, so SOMETHING fucky is going on with various heads of states in the superpowers, but most of them are still keeping on the downlow and observing how things are going, as government-contracted wizards in other nations didn't receive the same sort of devastation that the Imperial Cabinet did.
