Story Check: Half Point 12/01 - 12/05

STORY CHECK: HALF POINT 12/01 - 12/05—
All right folks, it's our very first story check! It's like an activity check, but a lot easier to make. As a reminder, this is just the halfway check. More official rules and details below, but just saying on the onset that no sweeps will be made at this time.


§ rules & guidelines.


The story checks are not only to help gauge player activity, but it's also to help the mods gather information and progress for the current campaign. For this half point story check, all players must submit proofs with the following requirements:

  1. 1 thread or entry dated between October 21 and December 5 (comment length does not matter).

  2. Small progress blurb depicting what your character has been doing in their time here. This blurb can be really short, like one or two sentences. An example: "So-and-so helped fight the story eater, helped find story setting pieces, and spiked the punch at the party." We won't stop you if you like writing more, but no more than a paragraph is necessary for our purposes.

IF YOU PARTICIPATED IN A SCENE, a link to your thread(s) with a short blurb about what's happening will be enough for the check. You don't have to provide anything additional. If you signed up for multiple, please link all scenes you were cast a major role in. Note: At this time, the 14 comment count for scenes does not need to be met, so continue plugging away. But if a scene has not shown any sign of progress by the end of this check, then we may have to discuss how things will move forward.

IMPORTANT FOR THIS CHECK! As you may notice, the dates for this check goes all the way to the opening before the campaign. While we would like to see campaign activity, we realize that it's been a crazy time for everyone and not everyone has had a chance to really participate in the campaign yet. There are also some new folks who came in much later. So don't feel pressured if you don't have much yet! Even a simple, "Hey I'm still here!" is fine for this check.

And that's it! Just give us a thread of activity, a short blurb of what your character has been doing, and you're good to go. Feel free to throw in anything you think is noteworthy to the campaign. If you have any questions, ask them here.

rokubro: (‡ 245)

[personal profile] rokubro 2018-12-02 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Laena
Character: Rokurou Rangetsu | [personal profile] rokubro
Proof: 11/27
Blurb: Rokurou is cast as Bromfred for Act II, Scene 2 and tells a story of the Headless Horseman he claims to have encountered. Other things he's done is help fight against the Story Eater, gather pieces for Act I settings (tombstone pieces, planks, maybe manor IT'S ON THE TABLE), and was the worst student for Asougi. He likes fighting all the things.

Character: Shizuo Heiwajima | [personal profile] hatesviolence
Proof: 11/27
Blurb: Shizuo is cast as Ebegeeser for Act II, Scene 6 to propose to Beltrina, played by Asougi. He was rejected, and then he accidentally almost squeezed the life out of him while trying to get him out of the dress and a crazy fight with "Hyde" ensued. Only other notable activity is helping out with the Story Eater fight.


/TRIES TO BE AN EXAMPLE...

Character: Kotori Iida | [personal profile] ricebird
Proof: 12/01
Blurb: Kotori's meal is interrupted so she can dance as Beltrina in Act II, Scene 4 and... try to talk about... love and jealousy? Other campaign highlights include searching for porridge toppings (and setting pieces) with Rokurou and going to Roxas's aid when he falls and can't get up.
trustfallen: (THE EVER LOVING FUCK?!)

Player: Snarky
Character: Therion | [personal profile] trustfallen
Proof: 10/22
Blurb: NOVEMBER WAS BAD. I AM BEHIND. NOT ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED YET.
Therion's been getting used to being a bird roost, fighting off erasers and getting blown up by his own pumpkin, and then later is The Horse Ponyman of Christmas Past in Act I, Scene 2, and does a quick change to Bromfred for Act I, Scene 3. Later, he'll take a nap backstage thanks to one of Alfyn's apples. Thanks, dude. :V


ETA: i misread instructions but w/e here's scene 2 and scene 3 though I am only finally getting to these now because like I said November was Bad

Hyde starts getting a little out of control during Act 2. Had to play Beltrina for Scene 6 and refused Ebegeeser's proposal.

Player: Jade
Character: Ophilia Clement | [personal profile] starseeing
Proof: 11/28

Proof: 11/30
Blurb: Shad has been dicking around. Aka being a recluse and probably spending most of his time reading or, like, looking at architecture. But oh no, now he has a cast part and has to actually DO something oh noooooo (aka he's Ebegeeser in Act two, Scene 3)

breakingthrough: (pic#9871787)

[personal profile] breakingthrough 2018-12-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Michi
Character: Edna | [personal profile] breakingthrough
Proof: 11/18
Blurb: For her acting debut, Edna graciously offers to fill in the role of Ebegeeser just in time to partake in a rap battle with the player of her rival: Bomfred.

Later she gets the distinct privilege of switching roles and performing as the ghost of Beltrina putting on... a strange act, to say the least. But it can't be said she isn't having fun with it.
