FEBRUARY CR MEME
Happy February, Larkers, and happy Valentine's Day! 🥰 We wanted to give a quick rundown to players new and old, especially since we set up a lot of directions for player plots for the next while! We expect that these will be running for a good bit of time.
So, here we go! A rundown on where to start with plotting:
◉ Our big catchup tool is our The Story So far page! No one needs to have this memorized, and hopefully our phrasing makes it easier to CTRL+F exactly what you need! The bullet points should cover the big meat, and it's up to you if you want to click to read further on anything.
◉ Check out our Setting Page for any ideas you might need about the world at large!
◉ We also recommend that you check out our JOBS PAGE and LOCATION PAGE to get the brain moving. As a quick note: everyone can add and create new locations for New Amsterdam (and, eventually, develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.
◉ Our monthly calendars are also a place where we do minimal worldbuilding, and it's where the mods leave monthly messages to our playerbase.
◉ The arrival log will be tomorrow! We're still solidifying some of the basics around it, but it's a smaller batch of newbies so it'll be less involved overall. We're using it as a means of creating some pop culture for the world, so keep an eye out for that!
◉ Remember that mention of player plots a few bullet points ago? We opened up fast travel to offer a lot of new threading opportunities, and we have a lot of artifacts and relics available. Newcomers can also get their hands on some relics, too—so feel free to ask around if this is (or even isn't!) their jam. Read the rundown here on our aftermath post!
◈ As a note, we've applied a little change to the relics so that they will eventually begin to resonate with the Displaced, and the relics will glow with one of seven colors: red, gold, blue, indigo, black (it'll turn glossy and obsidian), white, or orange. This will occur after holding on to the relic for 1 IC month.
◉ You'll notice that there's a section on the aftermath post called Looking Forward. We would like players to declare interest on what direction they'd like to take, but plotting and how to pursue it should begin to take place here and on the Plot Engagement post. Get those juices flowing!
◉ We also have a charity auction going up at the end of the month! Jenna, our Caroline Forbes (gasping) player, will be putting it up. The big playable section will be a dating auction! We've also worked with Jenna to pepper in some NPCs to help expand on some information. An OOC plotting post should be going up about this before the event so that everyone can get involved.
◉ Finally, since this is new information: the mods will be scarce the final weekend of the month! Only Court will be around. 💦 We're going to try to set up the calendar before we're all gone, but this is a head's up that things might be a little delayed while Alison, Veronica, and Jenny are off at a con! We'll get everything setup as soon as possible early in the month of March.

> PLAYER
NAME & PRONOUNS: Alex, She/Her
CONTACT:
AREAS OF INTEREST: Baking, video games, sewing (just started teaching myself to embroider!). Mostly I plurk creepy photos of buildings I work in, and history stuff I find interesting.
> CHARACTER
NAME: Nathan DrakeCANON: Uncharted
JOURNAL:
POWER: Tychokinesis (Luck)
JOB: Working at Red Wings as a bartender and manager. Occasionally sliding into the fighting rings.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Nate was attacked by a vampire last month (bad) and helped with the Everest expedition (rad), as he has a lot of experience with both exploring and history. Met new people and saw wild and amazing things!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Planning to get him involved in Some Crimes this upcoming month. Definitely want to engage more people in these aforementioned above fields (bartending...crime...fighting...et cet)! Continue to make friends. Please. God. Be friends with this nerd.
AREAS OF INTEREST:
CrimeI want Nate to find some way for his power to more effectively come up, and this may not happen in the next month, just...more opportunities for it to manifest even if he doesn't realize what the Hell it is or why it's happening (or how to control it). Poor bastard still doesn't know.HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Nate works as a manager and bartender at Red Wings bar, which means we can handwave pretty much any introduction interaction via that particular venue. He may have also been seen in the fighting rings on occasion, or scaling buildings without climbing equipment. You may also catch him on a rooftop.
OVERALL GOALS: Seriously open to anything and everything right now.
