Director Zhang will determine your teams for any missions. As for dorming? Hahahahahaha. The weather's pretty nice tonight.

And sorry, but you need some pretty killer connections with several black market organizations to get this crazy-rare edition of Porn. I had to sell my secondborn. Was it worth it? I'll let you know when I finish "going out."

To everyone: posting expectations are up.

@Snagglepuss89 The things to add to your CS's misc info., haha.

—(••[ 𝕎𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔸𝕋𝔼ℝ ]••)—

To-do list:

1. Add notes about "Ground Zero" area for Aberrations in the Survival Guide sticky.

2. Fix up NPC sheets with final formatting touches (everyone continue kissing Baklava's ass for all the pretty on that character tab and kiss PapiTan's ass for the pretty in the original OOC post).

3. Add a "posting expectations" section to the original OOC post since it's come up in Discord a few times.

3. Start working on the next IC post--as far as I can with the current responses.

At first I was like "eww why would I want anything to do with some NPCs I'm the goddamn PC for god's sake" then I saw those CSes you put up.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dayum dem fine bois and gurls.

This feels like the start of those dating sims.

@RedDusk

Oh, no! You've figured out my master plan!

Your first IC post is done and will require minimal effort from you guys on the opening (well, minimal interaction effort) so I can ease everyone into this and allow leeway for the new players.

But as Director Zhang put it, "Feel free to discuss my generous offer with your peers."

I will be out for around 5-7 hours. Please direct all questions to either Discord (which I can check on my phone) or the co-GMs.

NPC sheets are up, barring some minor formatting edits later. Everyone kiss Baklava's ass for the beautiful setup.

I'll allow you guys to note in your CS's (maybe in the magic section or as a quick note to your name section if you don't have very many preferences), if you want to, what cool media nicknames you wish you could get, based on how the media nicknamed Cat's Cradle and the Precursors.

Edit: Disclaimer--you may never get that name. Or you'll get something entirely different. Maybe if you tried spreading it around a lot, people will be more inclined to call you that if/when you do something that makes the world notice you specifically.

Happily begins tapping up the first IC post now that most of the characters are in.

The mood music while I write this.

Edit: Oh, I hope I'm not getting your hopes too high. This won't be done for a while (I'm approximating at least 6 hours).

@Snagglepuss89

Given that I'm setting up some nonsense in the background, it's a little closer to

"Please give me a dumb excuse to let the NPCs fly off the handle on someone."

—(••[ 𝕎𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔸𝕋𝔼ℝ ]••)—

Have I mentioned that you guys are allowed to romantically go after NPCs? At least, the notable ones that have a high chance of surviving through a good portion of the story.

Not that I'm recommending it, but the option is there.

@Snagglepuss89

Are you going to add that hider to your post in the character tab? _{(You should.)}

Edit: And you did!

Edit 2: Psst, it's awesome, but don't tell anyone I said that.
