[ february ooc mingling post ]

[barrayarmods]

Hey all and welcome to For Barrayar! We'll be getting the OOC info/signups post for the first half of February's plot up soon, as well as the February Game Update (which details the weather and each side's status and resources for the month), but in the meantime, please feel free to introduce yourselves and get your mingle on! Tell us about yourselves, what you're looking forward to and what you're hoping to do in this game, and just generally get down and friendly with each other. And if you haven't joined the Discord server and would like to, hop on in.

The February I log will go up on the 1st. And if you haven't had a chance to look at the culture pages and want some extra reading material, those go into more depth about the Barrayarans and the Cetagandans.
ETA: The log will probably go up on the 2nd due to time constraints because the OOC post went up late and I unfortunately have a day job.

Also, please note the tagging system -- all of your characters should already have tags (and if they're missing, please let me know), and there are also location tags for the guerilla camp and the Cetagandan base, so please use those for your logs too!

'SUP!

My name is Em, and I'm bringing Sans, that skeleton from Undertale who's so popular with the kids. He's a weird bone man who now has a bunch of flesh on him. Gross. He could not be further from human in his regular form, so it'll be fun having to learn the ropes of, y'know. Breathing! To live! Who does that??

Sans is your average lazy, mysterious dude with Secrets. Though without his magic and with his new body, he's gonna be a little more fumbling than usual. One thing he's holding onto is a genuine love of science! Not to mention some experience with the whole Worldhopping thing, as he's a CRAU from thisavrou. I detail a few development quirks in his app, which you're welcome to look through! It's honestly not that much. Last thing he remembers, he was on a small space ship, trying to figure out how to get home to his brother. Now he's here. But this guy's used to negative progress it's cool.

He'll be on the Cetaganda side, so I'm really excited to get to know everyone both there and on Barrayar! Feel free to add me on safelybeds, that is if I don't get to you first...!

For reference: Upon arrival, Sans looks like this now. Your basic human, except with black sclera and white pupils! He's also got a crummy immune system and a bad sense of humor, so instead of actually showing his face you're usually gonna find him wearing one of these. He drew the smile on himself.

[mirrortide]

hi5 at shitty immune systems

[skelepun]

do you want him to draw a cool mask for you, lapdance

[mirrortide]

always????

i cant wait to see how these two manage to piss of the cetas im excited

who wants to send some chain emails

[dendarii]

HELL SANS I hear you were buds with another Miles. They def need to meet despite being on opposing sides.

[skelepun]

HELL INDEED MY FRIEND. HELL INDEED.

you are going to confuse him so much and it's going to be terrible. i honestly cannot wait. He'd recognize Miles in a heartbeat even across enemy lines (you don't really... forget a guy with that face), so this basically has to happen.

[dendarii]

WHOOPS forgot a letter. gg me.

Awesome. This is gonna be fun.

[starsneverpay]

Hi Em. :)

See you on the other side of the war.

[skelepun]

i'll be over here, brainstorming literally every single barrayar pun i can

a thought: since miles is here but older, i think sans might assume that elsa is j. but older.

[starsneverpay]

Ah, to be fair. That's one very understandable mistake.

Sorry to disappoint you tho, Sans. :C

[infailtration]

Hi Em! Welcome to the game. 8D

[skelepun]

HEY, great to meet you! Really excited to play! 8D

[traitorous]

oh man jsyk we were in sav together ages ago and though we never had any cr your sans was totally the reason i ended up checking out undertale. so like an extremely belated thank you from me to you, you did me a solid bc i probably would've never looked at undertale otherwise.

in any case, hello i'm chels! i can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans sans falls into w/ the cetas.

[skelepun]

THAT IS. LIKE THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT, thank you???

I'm super excited to play against you! You're barrayar, right? Well... we're just gonna have to manufacture a thing, aren't we. Especially since I'm a big RvB nerd now.

[traitorous]

oh man ig i'm biased but everyone should be big rvb nerds, someday i'll convert the entire planet. 2017 resolution!!

maine might possibly sneak over to the cetagandan side at some point in february in an attempt to retrieve lakshmi from filthy ceta hands, so maybe they can run into each other around then? otherwise i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for them to cross paths. the monthly events seem p good for that.

i am looking forward to it, either way!

[shri]

Hello!

I am Lily and I play this here snarky immortal queen lady, who is ... currently captured by the Cetas so here's to however that plays out! I am super duper excited to see how this might go.

I also apologise her whole like... existence isn't great for supernatural beings, so I will be super keen for whatever conversations they might have ahaha.

[skelepun]

I actually noticed Lakshmi while I was apping and WHILE I AM CANONBLIND, SHE INTRIGUES ME GREATLY. I'm really excited to bounce off -- so thrilled you're on the ceta side of things right now!

Supernatural weirdness is my Favorite. What u kno about magic, burh.

[shri]

SHE IS, oh man her canon is a BIT OF A TRIP, basically it's the same as real world history except, WAY BACK IN THE DAY King Arthur was real, and there were these things called the Purebloods and Halfbreeds who are werewolves that appeared and fucked up everyone's day. So when the Knights of the Round Table went out to find the holy grail, they actually came back with a thing called the Blackwater, which grants eternal life, and they have been fighting with the Lycans ever since.

Except now they've been doing it for centuries and are like 43924 years old and have become corrupt and have no idea that they are being used like the rest of the Empire by Vampires and Werewolves to INFECT ALL THE COLONIES of the British Empire. Which is where Lakshmi comes in, she's a Queen in India who has been fighting a one-woman war against the werewolves first in India in the Independence War of 1857. When she lost that one, she faked her death, took up the blackwater as well ( from this other knight idk COMPLICATED ), and went to England to start a rebellion there and has been a colossal pain in everyone's side SINCE THEN. Also she's the #1 cause of destruction to important english landmarks whoops.

basicaly tl;dr WEREWOLVES AND VAMPIRES ATE EVERYONE SHE LOVES and she really, really hates colonizing empires, AND SHE WILL FITE EVERYONE.

[vorrutyer]

HELLO HELLO I'm Hope, I'm really looking forward to your puns a lot
Anyway Byerly also has a shitty sense of humor but it's less punny and more uh just plain ol' mean

[skelepun]

LMAO THAT'S MY FAVORITE!! Sans kinda hates mean people, but in that fun, passive aggressive way where you can still get a drink together he'll just park his chin in his hands and listen and nod and privately hate you the whole time.

Which is like.

My entire brand, tbh

[standsentinel]

Hi Em! I'm Wyn, and am somehow completely canon blind about Undertale, so I look forward to getting to know Sans.

Kaidan Alenko is my guy on the Cetagandan side, and he's already gotten wrapped up in shameless eavesdropping, Deep Suspicions about their hosts, and trying to figure out what the hell's going on and what side he wants to be on regarding it.

[skelepun]

THERE'S NOT MUCH TO KNOW, he's a skeleton who is no longer a skeleton and he has brain problems and a mean nihilistic streak. There's some stuff about jokes in there too.

Shameless eavesdropping you say? Sans makes it his business to know just about everything there is to know about everyone, though once he has it he does very little with that info. He's just kind of a hoarder. A secret hoarder.

I'm very excited to bounce them against each other!

[standsentinel]

Kaidan's need to obsessively consider all the options available to him before making a decision (unless someone's shooting at him -- he can move quick then) probably looks an awful lot like secret hoarding.

They shall bond.

[eugengineer]

I'm so ready for Diya to make Sans extremely uncomfortable

[skelepun]

NOTHING NEW THERE.
