WELCOME TO WE'RE STILL HERE

We're in the mood for fresh meat.

---

Helloooo, neighbors! Welcome, everyone, to We're Still Here. Officially, the game doesn't open until December 1st, but we still wanted to give you guys a chance to get to know one another. Feel free to use this post to introduce yourself, share your contact info if you so desire, and mingle with your new neighbors before the real fun begins in a few days. We, as mods, would also like to use this space to address a few points about what to expect in December as well as how our next application round is going to pan out. Firstly, We're Still Here's first month is going to be a plot-heavy month. December is a crazy time for all of us, and we realize that not everyone will have the time to devote to roleplay, so we've decided to make the event a low stakes one and split it up into two halves with the first part beginning the day the game opens and running until the 15th, and the next half picking up right after that and running until the 25th. An announcement and plotting post will be going up in a few days. At the end of the month, we'll post a recap for the event that will also function as a public discussion where you can ask questions and provide the mod team with feedback. Secondly, since December will be a plot-heavy month with January being a relaxed month, this means that January will be our next application round. Not including potential drops, we will have seven slots available for new players. We will post a reminder announcement on the mod plurk as the date draws closer. Additionally, we will also be posting a new TDM in January for the new application round. For exact times on all of these dates, please refer to our calendar. And that's all! Break out your best gifs and get to mingling!

Hey y'all!! I'm gabbie, bringing in Ray Gillette from FX's Archer, which if you're unfamiliar, is an animated sitcom in the vein of the Venture Bros. meets Mad Men... but with spies.



Ray's generally a pleasant and effete sort of dude, with a diverse range of skills and a weakness for cigarettes, cake, and glamour, though also fairly prone to cattiness and sarcasm because look, his life is really hard and annoying, you guys. In canon he's paralyzed from the waist down but has full mobility thanks to bionic implants in his legs/lower body, and also sports a bionic prosthetic hand to replace his own severed one, but here in WSH he'll be wearing a model period-appropriate model and walking with a cane(/leg braces on occasion). This clip provides a fairly solid rundown on him as a character (cw for cartoon violence and some bigoted language)... but on that note! Archer is show full of problematique™ characters and sensitive/offensive themes, so I do also have a handy-dandy permissions/opt-out post here.

Otherwise, feel free to add me on plurk (reggiemantle) if you'd like, I've been extremely excited about this game and especially so now that I'm actually a part of it!!

good job ray is stuck here with his best friend and not someone he hates amirite

[handycapable]

JUST ECSTATIC

[undiagnosed]

slaps of friendship!!

I am canonblind to him, i am afraid, but i'm excited to see him around!! those are some great weaknesses ngl so he sounds like he'll be fun. esp in 60s suburbia!

[handycapable]

hello and thank you!! he would like to believe surely there is some way to balance the horrors (both expected/societal and... the other kind,) of the 60s with the charming ones, surely

I'm also a huge spider-man fan so I'm thrilled to see a peter parker here!!

[webdesigned]

I am happy to fufill the peter parker quota of quaint retro suburbia!! It was my Destiny

I will keep an eye out for your fella and hopefully peter doesn't annoy him terribly haha

[handycapable]

likewise, I'm sure we can find a good way to fling them at each other!! and don't worry, Ray is used to way more actually annoying people so he's got a high tolerance, probably will just be slightly awkward around a teenager at first but they can get past all that o7

So happy Ray is here to cry about everything! Stacey here, with Agatha Van Helsing.

We'll make it work.
