July OOC Intro / CR meme!

[jigokumods]

MAIN NAVIGATION

Welcome Lost Souls! And also, welcome to this round's group of new players!

Want to jump right in? This month's Substories are posted here!. As for what's been going on...

Just like the TDM set up, Jigokucho is in recovery mode after the dissipation of a curse that befell the city. It was a full-on horror apocalypse.

The curse is gone, there are rumors stirring that the turf war has ended, and the Kappa are all going back down to work on building… something. It’s all pretty hush-hush, but anyone that’s not in the Department can ask freely about it. The Enma has bigger things to be concerned with already anyway (namely the newly named cause of the curse: Haniyasu).

So what does that mean for the next two months? Well, between whatever it is being cooked up in the Underground and everything else, the theme of these two months is Tanabata! How that celebration takes shape in a place like Jigokucho will be revealed as the month goes on, so stay tuned to find out more!

Player Name: Agatha!
Contact: You can reach me through PM to this account, or on plurk @hagclub. If we have CR or are planning it, you're welcome to add me on plurk.
Pronouns: she/they in any mix is preferred ✨
Tell us about yourself: Feel free to call me Eggie! I'm a professional tarot reader who works odd hours so my tagging times are a bit sporadic. My timezone is CST, and I default to brackets but I'm happy to match you if you have a preference for prose. I spend most of my free time playing video games, collecting novelty mugs, and reading ghost stories.

Character Name: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (Remake Continuity)
Character Age: 22
Faction: Tamamo Clan
Brief Rundown:

Per my permissions post for Aerith: Straight-forward and rebellious, Aerith wears her mischievousness like a badge of honor. She's a spunky young woman and shrewd business woman, having spent a great deal of time selling flowers— As a naturally adaptable person, she's surprisingly street smart even though she definitely comes off as being very quirky. Aerith is sweet, kind, flirtatious and snarky; she's got a biting sense of humor that probably feels a bit pointed with how perceptive to others she is.

As of the end of last month's event, she's had her first promotion!

Initial Ideas:

Last month, Aerith helped Emily and Shylock with helping develop the incense that got Tower Clean Up Gang into Kaigo-no-Bou. It feels appropriate to work on giving her some more stability in game now, so in addition to a shiny new promotion (one star!), Aerith's got big goals this month. I'm going to try moving forward with Aerith's flower motifs by giving her a flower growth ability. It's been approved and you can read more about it here. I also have a network post up with her advertising this new ability. I may have an open prompt for her selling flowers this month.

The goal next month is to put in her request for a shop, which was my first milestone for her in game. This month, I think I want to either grab part of her sixth sense back, orrr another promotion. We'll see. Maybe I'll grab both if I somehow wind up with enough points for it.

I'll be tagging out for substories, so if anything appeals to you, please let me know and we can hash something out. Substories that appeal to me:

🎀 Swipe Left, again! Aerith's devastated that everyone thinks she's plain looking. I think it's funny. She will be, however, boasting about how hot Cloud is... On that note, I would be SUPER down for this to lead to blind dates or something, to tie into...

🎀 It's In The Stars. This is the Big Thing I'm interested in this month! I'm open to get messy with pre-existing CR with this. Lewd threads, cute threads, everything: let's indulge this month and get some healing going from last month.

🎀 The watch substory looks fun, but I'd prefer to throw Aerith into someone else's substory thread for this. I'm curious if maybe Pray might have some kind of effect on it, but I'll hold out until I have reason to ask lol

Otherwise, she'll be playing big sis to any Tamamo newbies and likely working on moving away from being Tamamo's resident delivery girl finally.

CR Desires:

General give me anything but:

Neighbor CR is at the top of my list again! Tamamo newbies, oldbies and in betweens: if you'd be down for having a neighbor who keeps bringing home more and more flowers, hit me up. Aerith is a decent neighbor and would try to get to know everyone in her complex, so this is an easy way to hand wave 'first meetings', too.

I would love for Aerith to meet more people that Destiny Chose, healers, and spiritualists. People who have magical sixth senses, etc etc... she has been deprived of people who get her on these fronts and I want her to make more friends.

My next planned regain for her is the ability to communicate with flowers, specifically, so anyone florally inclined or interested in "crazy woman helpfully hears voices"... well, come to me... :3

More people to send out for flower deliveries or taking orders for her! I want to work on getting her a storefront hopefully soooooonish? After the flower talk regain, at least, so hey!

Really want late night shifts at the clinic threads this month, some nice lowkey cr building stuff. I want to play it by ear on some level still, hah

Iiiii Think she's going to be interested in trying to weasel her way out into the Wastelands at some point soon with everything she's found out from last cycle... Or at least tell some people she wants to do it. Who wants to hear about it.

Aerith really is blossoming in terms of her comfort and autonomy right now; I would adore for her to feel like she's part of friend groups and things like that, so general "give Aerith some pals" goes here.

Okay, I'm serious: I'm up for anything and I will come up with a way for our characters to meet if you're stumped. Aerith is a busy body, talkative and a bit of a nuisance. I'm sure I can make it work.

I like negative CR. I think it's funny when people dislike her for no reason. Feel free to do that and be as funny as you like.

Anything else:

i flopped hard last time we did the slow n steady month, if we planned for cr and i didn't deliver, i'm sorry. a lot happened then. however, i'd love to do it this time around.

[taintedpeony]

Ohhh I love thier CR so far and am looking forward to their tea and cake hang. Guangyao also recently got his core back and can sense, magic/qi now as well as use it a bit so I would be down for that kind of thing if you are!

[everblooms]

me too! their thread's been adorable so far, and i would love for them to connect on that. 😇 maybe i'll grab her flower talking abilities a bit before hand so they can discuss sixth sense stuff lol but! i hope you're feeling better! i'd be happy to write you a starter when i get my open post up?

[pathofsacrifice]

I also abruptly died last month, so happy to be able to continue the friendship that these two have. (laughs) Artemy would be happy to hear about the Wastelands and if she's ever going, he'll go with her to make sure that she's safe.

And side-note, I suppose, Artemy is someone that Destiny did choose. Or well, some form of destiny. He's died multiple times in his canon, and it is canon he died, and he's aware of it. Time rewound and he would get another chance to run the day and hopefully not die horribly.

[everblooms]

THERE YOU ARE i was going to look for you to say i missed artemy! i would love to pick up something with him this month, there's a spot in my inbox warm for u...

MAN my boyfriend is getting into patho so i hear about it from time to time but nothing prepared me for this paragraph. i love it, please tell me more. i think aerith would totally vibe with this and get protective of him over it, honestly. joining the list of people she's adopting, now.

[pathofsacrifice]

I have also just been like shuffling along and hope to actually be around. (stares hopeful at this month!) And I appreciate for I truly do love Aerith so much.

(laughs) Of course! Like, death is very easy in Patho, but it has meaning. Artemy is not allowed to die more or less. He has to tell his story, but his death has to mean something so that it isn't treated as "nothing." Each time he dies, something in his world becomes a little more horrific (like a horrible Rat Prophet that contacts people that have the ability to see the future and tells them how to fix things, but often lying and hiding exactly what will happen if they do as it says). Physically, his body is in full struggles (hungry faster, thirsty constantly, exhausted, health low, etc); it's a real terrible time. If he dies too many times, there's a structure that is being created outside of his "respawning" area... if it gets too high, uh, it's not good and that's all is said about it. Also, no one can see it but him. So that's also great. >>;

He's happy to be adopted; she's a lovely elder sister and will be sure to listen to her well.

... and a side-note, with your boyfriend playing Patho, tell him to get the plague in-game. :X It's kind of neat when it happens, I can give more spoilers on that one, too, but it's a very neat experience.

[heir_conditioned]

I'm on team 'loving the threads' ngl. I'm going to try to keep my eyes out for any good reason to bother her with my dude here, including what we have already ofc lol.

[everblooms]

me too! shoto has been a sweetheart in her eyes from day one, if sort of ... a bit dumb... she's kind of rooting for him and izuku ngl LOL

[heir_conditioned]

She hit him p damn hard with what she said about showing his friends that he's lost to the people here. So she's in his good books lol!

lmao! Izuku is a good guy, Shoto really does adore him.

[identitycrisiscore]

points at eyes points at u

[everblooms]

sorry in advance to all their mutual cr its going to get crazy up in here

[identitycrisiscore]

EXTREMELY SORRY IN ADVANCE TO LITERALLY ALL THEIR CR THIS IS GOING TO BE A HOUSE ON FIRE THIS MONTH

[fuckdogramagra]

i beefed june because june is a one-star month, BUT i want to make up for that in july!!!!

tama is...actually very much a flower person, and seems to actually know hanakotoba which means more work for me, gdi. he always tries to push it off as "girly", but two months in hell means he is probably willing to lower the '20s toxic masc bs a lot more. so he'd probably end up nosing around about the flowers eventually, even if he'd probably be shy about it.

i mean. he'd also want to apologize for the jetski and wouldn't think it's kitsch to order hanakotoba apology flowers for someone and then give them...to the person he ordered from...so that may be the easiest way in. sorry he's a neurotic mess, aerith

also he'd be super interested in learning about the whole magic healing stuff given he has a Very large fear of doctors, so finding out about that being present at the clinic via aerith would maybe make him...actually not prickle like a cactus when he inevitably has to go for his next inevitable fever bout.

[everblooms]

JUNE IS A TERRIBLE NO GOOD MONTH I GET

sounds like tama needs to be hassled into buying some decorative flowers, huh. :) keep it up and maybe she'll make you work front of the shop for a week in the future, tama... punishment is severe with gainsborough. no room for shyness in hell we gotta say the world

THIS IS SO CUTE TBH i think it's hilarious and i am super down for it. she'd be kind of charmed over how dumb it is, plus no one has ever given her flowers with the meanings in mind... i think she'd be kind of touched, ngl.

thankfully aerith's pray can handle fevers no problem!!! come to her, tama... she'll take care of you. the price will be a different kind of needling (getting teased relentlessly)

[fuckdogramagra]

he's always on about apology food and his favorite flowers are...an unflattering meaning because self esteem is banished in hashihime, so by these powers combined, he is very fluent in "sorry i was an ass" flowers. but also he'd love to buy gay bouquets for his boyfriends, because apparently he is that kind of romantic so. he's going to end up a repeat customer either way about it, his life is over

he can handle the needling, honestly he might be willing to be more upfront with a magic healer about the whole. "nearly institutionalized" thing, and the government wanting to experiment on folks with hashihime powers eventually. which, given aerith's everything...icr if i brought that up last month directly, but its not like we didnt already joke about the roleswap lmao.

...in retrospect that's still maintained, given minakami almost got totaled but barely didnt, and cloud got super totaled 64,

[localweirdo]

I really need to tag Aerith more in general. I think her and Hu Tao’s cr could be hilarious.

[everblooms]

not that i genshin but i love hu tao so i'm all for this. aerith's going to encourage her to start her own little funeral parlor and hassle her about doing the floral work for her whenever necessary or wanted.. girlbosses winning is her goal.

[bunnii]

Hello Eggie! I'm Michi and I'm new here but I absolutely adore Aerith and want her in my small idol boy's life.

As a Tamamo newbie I would love to have neighbor Aerith for Nazuna and I think their cr would be really cute. ;u;

[everblooms]

hi, michi! i have no idea what's going on in enstars but this guy is adorable. i'd love for them to be neighbors, nazuna will get apartment warming gifts like a house plant or a pot of flowers to take care of... aerith's the kind of neighbor to ask if you need something whenever she can so i'm sure she'll be in his business in no time.

[empression]

Hello, I have wanted CR with an Aerith for forever, because Haru is also a sweet-tempered but occasionally scary pink girl who loves flowers and gardening in general and I would love for them to meet! She's Shuten (hilariously), but I think due to floral inclinations, it might be easy enough for them to run into each other?

[everblooms]

hi! i'd love to make that happen for you!! let's do it. aerith will probably be around and about still delivering stuff outside of tamamo, and tbh she barely pays attention to the whole clan thing at this point LOL so i'd be happy to have her and haru meet somehow; afaik, there's no real plant life in jiggy beyond what aerith's grown now, so that would be a very easy in.

[empression]

Sounds like a plan to me! I'll keep an eye out if Aerith toplevels anywhere or we could inbox an accidental run-in if need be!

[adversus]

I would love to have CR with Aerith!!

Marie has a lot of flowers back home, and worked in the garden a lot, so she wouldn't mind playing flower delivery girl for aerith at some point :>

[everblooms]

hello hello! lilith sounds really fun so i would be ultra down for this 🥺 we could totally start out with flower stuff, aerith is a magic user herself so i think she would be fascinated by the idea of there being a school or something for that... there's one starting up in tamamo HA she would be like wish i could recommend you!!

[softshoes]

sliding in for yujin’s scheduled bullying by a pink flower-themed girl in lieu of his daughter(s????) doing it
