Let's get ourselves oriented...!

[wipesfaith]

We kind of exploded as a cast. In the best way possible. But now that we're all here and so may of us are new, let's talk about stuff!

Things to consider:

- Handwaved interaction. What are routine things our dudes are (will be) doing together?
- Living arrangements? Who is where and what is going on...
- Role in the Luceti Alliance which is not actually called that but an alternative name was never really agreed on. What's the sitch here?
- WHAT IS EVERYONE DOING WHO EVEN ARE WE???

This post is already very professional and organized, yes.

Please dump any commentary on where you think your character fits into any of this. Seriously, just start talking. We'll go from there.

I HAVE A QUESTION!

When you intro Eren, will you backdate the entry to the 9th (the date of Annie's arrival log), or will it be not so much an intro but a "been here a few days and know what's going on, still settling in" kind of thing? If the latter is the case, are you assuming Eren has already met up with the pre-existing cast or that he's kept to himself for the past few days?

THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION THANK YOU

i'd been considering backdating something, though it didn't occur to me to check if that's actually a thing in luceti :|a i generally avoid making immediate arrival/'where am i' posts, so alternatively i was thinking either i could thread out something where he'd get some answers from a few immediate castmates (kind of like the test drive meme) and then kind of meet the rest as the week progresses.

i could also just have him run into people a few days late. ultimately i guess it depends on whether or not i'll be carrying over the test drive progress. that could theoretically be 'arrival' stuff, or if not i could make a separate post and figure out an ic reason for the ooc delay, whichever ends up working better for everyone.

If you want to handwave the usual arrival stuff and accept selected test drive happenings as actual Luceti canon, I would be fine with that if you are.

Actually (and this is just one of many possibilities to choose from), we could continue from Jean and Eren's thread in an appointments post, if you wanted. Jean could take him home with him (why does everything I type come out gay) and begrudgingly help him get settled. And like...explain to him that Marco is here and alive, so it's not all SURPRISE BITCH, BET YOU THOUGHT YOU SAW THE LAST OF ME when Eren walks in through the door. (Also if Meowzy is cool with this. MEOWZY CAN THIS BE A THING?)

[loudnoises]

everything turns out gay with these guys lbr yeah that'd be great! i'll probably still do an ic intro but hopefully it'll be after he's a little established, but i think jean being the one to address the 'marco polo where'd you body go' talk would be good if meowzy's down for it!

so i guess what i'm taking forever to say is that both opportunities are open: if you'd rather we handwave a general first meeting and then do a less immediate intro, that's perfectly cool with me. likewise i'd be happy to continue where we left off (which could be fun because they can talk about his not!dead not!boyfriend).

is this even helpful, i don't know

[wipesfaith]

YES, my thought is we could backdate a thread (in appointments yo) to the 9th, assume it takes place some time after Eren runs into Annie, and just have it pick up from where the test drive thread left off (just glossing the Luceti exposition/explanation stuff with a quick "SO THIS HAPPENED AND NOW THEY'RE HERE"). And then you can also do whatever sort of post you have planned. If that works?

[loudnoises]

That sounds great to me!! I'm going to start with tags this afternoon, so if I get that appointment thread ready first I'll go toss it in your inbox o7

Cool beans. I may or may not beat you to the punch, but either way it's all good.
