Welcome to the October OOC intro & CR post! Use the following forms below to introduce yourself, as well as your character (s). Find players to plot with or simply pop in to drop a friendly hello!
The game is officially open, feel free to start posting to the comms! There will be a NPC Network post that will be going up shortly, but no need to wait for that! Have fun!
Happy tomorrow etc etc LOL. The amount of times I get asked what the future holds for people... hehe.
I know T_T Pretty sure that scene with the flowers made me cry a little, tbh! But yes that sounds awesome and I will definitely take you up on that; I apologize in advance for the lady's loving bullying!!
i love them too....... i just feel set is the kind of guy who would get really into metal music and dnd too, he's got LAYERS okay!!! he gets what it's like to be big and scary but have LAYERS, eddie!!!
LOL god I can just imagine her face if he does the .2-second flirt. I imagine if you do canon update him later it might be a little trickier for her, but also she'll have spent time with him as a younger brother type and so she'll be c o n f u s e d lol! But yes absolutely. To be honest I'm not even sure if she'll tell him about it, at least not right away— protective Aerith to the rescue!
But yes it is lovely to meet you and I'm excited to play out this angle with them!
Honestly, Honeybee dance number is a good point to stop just because... yes. Perfection. LOL. But yes, I can imagine a friend will be good for him, especially given everything he's been through of late (that is, assuming his canon point is somewhere around Endwalker?)
Also the two of them perfectly fit the good ol' tank and healer trope so that's just fun too.
I love Noctis too, and I TOTALLY agree. Purest thing ever.
To be honest right now she's 100% settling in, because I didn't TDM. So all this is super super new to her and she's still struggling to comprehend it all. How about Noct?
Absolutely! The more the merrier. I'm semi canonblind, but I've interacted with a few Kainés with other characters before and I know I love her. So I'm definitely super down for this, and I imagine that it will go exactly as you described!
omg yes I'd love to play some tank and healer dynamics! That's the good stuff. I will keep an eye out for chances to tag your Aerith!
(And yes, his canon point is right after the final solo duty of Endwalker and the conversation that follows. He's definitely been through the wringer and doing his best to keep a lid on it so far.)
per the soulidarity post, all they gotta do is go to one of their home worlds (invited) and bc they already have a strong bond, if they even accidentally touched a tether object it'd be enough, so maybe aleksander could invite alina into his and she touches it without considering it????
i think she'd be reluctant to invite him into hers (keramzin) but i also feel like i'd really enjoy him picking up a lil mal figurine and being all 👿 about it so if he could maybe push her about it like YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THIS THING or sth and then they go together to hers that might also work
throws spaghetti at the wall!!! random brainstorming!!!
Well... since his home is going to be a mini-version of the Fold, complete with ruins of his home with Luda in it, the Grisha ruin, a copy of his rooms at the Little Palace, but torn and burnt-looking. Just a mish-mash of rooms, connected like something from Silent Hill the final chapter and held together by Being Older Then Dirt and horse shit.
But you know what? If she even hints at asking, he'd take her in a heartbeat. Sorry about that, I really am. He's an idiot, and the books did not do much to dim that view of him. All that talk about them already being connected (which was amplified by the antlers, the sea serpent and the nichevo'ya bite- but it was there from the beginning. Alina could feel his emotions when they kissed that first time, his resentment and want) and I want her in his horrible home, touching his stuff!
BUT I also want him in hers, touching a little Mal statue and being overly emotional about it and jealous.
i lOVE the ugliness of his home world and i definitely want to get to see the character moment of him choosing to show that to her (too late, obviously, baghra has already spilled the beans, but since she's Hiding That it can still wind up being him choosing to reveal it) — if we want to save that for letting some tension develop around what he will and won't tell her if he thinks he can get away with her being ignorant still, i think we can def start with him nudging to see hers and then grabbing the mal figure all fussy and jealous about it?
Crap! She doesn't know- or, he doesn't know that she knows and Alina is playing that perfectly btw. So perfect. YES, him going to her place seems like the better option, allowing him to find some way to spin his own world in to something less... horrible?
I mean, he doesn't really lie to her outright a lot, but he does spin the narrative to make himself look better.
HER PLACE and touching Mal, because 'omg! Scandalized' about it and also, yes. Insanely jealous. I mean, he picks a fist-fight just to show off, which was just his mistake, really.
