WELCOME TO THE PINES!


And welcome to our monthly out-of-character intro post. Come say hello to your fellow players and drop a line here so others can get to know you and find out the best ways to contact you, as well as see who you are bringing in! (Current players are also encouraged to use this post to let us know about new characters.)

Don't forget to check out this month's important dates for a peek at what the coming month is going to look like. It will continue to be updated as more dates solidify behind the scenes.

Our in-character intro log will be going up July 1st after midnight EST; keep an eye on our mod plurk (thepines) for that as well as all future announcements.

hello everyone! i'm emily and i'm new to the pines, bringing in the prince uncrowned king noctis lucis caelum from final fantasy xv! if you're unfamiliar, he's an anxious sassbaby with a ton of bottled up feelings, likes fishing, dislikes vegetables, and excels at sleeping and quietly caring for his friends. also saving the world, but that's slightly more complicated and will probably make me cry.

false memories are currently a work in progress (bring me your thoughts!), but what i do know is he has a job at lagomarcino's and will be returning to it once he's recovered from the accident, has somewhat recently lost his fake "father," and frequents both god slayer and go ask alice. and most importantly, he and ignis are gross childhood sweethearts "and they have remained at peak gross to this very day" as lynn so beautifully puts it!!!

i'm really excited to be in the game and thrilled to be joining the big and beautiful ffxv cast! i'm up for any plotting you'd like to do here, and can also be reached by pm or on plurk at gansey (just ask before adding unless we already have cr plans, please and thanks!). blows kisses to all of you ♥

emily it emma, kisses ur nose

[basileia]

EMMA!!! smooches you back

you can bet i want cr with jyn!

[realists]

she also likes fishing and dislikes vegetables though at this point she only dislikes beets to make a point but U KNOW. also she is always at go ask alice low key stalking her man so.

[unweaving]

HEY PRETTY BOY

[basileia]

immediately makes official plans for him to get this shirt at a thrift store or something

ALSO HELLO!!!

[unweaving]

Perfect. I still want a reason to get Prompto into an authentic 90s hugs not drugs tee, even if he'd just cut the sleeves off it.

ANYWAY I have previously established (on the last cr meme I think) that Aranea is full-bore obsessed with the sandwiches at Lagomarcino's so I guess they're going to run into each other sooner or later! It may be sooner, as she managed to get herself killed in the last event and so will probably be waking up in hospital at about the same time the new batch of folk come in!

SKATES IN

high ho important orphans! i really want fake memory friendships! she's likely a couple of years older. :>

[basileia]

IMPORTANT ORPHANS playing arcade games together!!! yes, i definitely want them to be friends. if you want to say they met through ignis, that's totally fine with me. they'll also have gladio in common, ofc!

noct probably thinks she's very sweet and looks up to her ;u;

[dendrites]

if he's her main group work buddy then it's more than likely that she's also helped prod him to do his school work too. :| it's important, noct!

anna exists in her memories so she is, as i mentioned to you before, all about being a big sister and that can lead into mentoring once they eventually realize they are not normal peasants lmao.

[blaiiines]

Hello, Emily, and welcome to the game! I'm Kacey and I play this loser here from iZombie. For Noct, all you'll need to know is that Blaine is basically the adopted brother of Iris. If you want to hash out any memories, let me know. If not, I'm sure they can still bond over their fashion choices :D;

[basileia]

hello, kacey!!! thank you so much!

if he's close with iris, then i think we can definitely assume they're crossed paths in the past! i would absolutely love it if they could bond over fashion choices omg that's adorable.

[blaiiines]

Good, good, I look forward to it! I love the FFXV cast so much :3

[allfornothing]

Your highness!

Crowe works at the movie theater so maybe she has helped with some of their gross he dates?

[basileia]

CROWE i'm so excited for them to actually interact ;u;

and wow that would be so cute! i'm sure noct has dragged ignis to a movie or two over the years!

[sirnyxalot]

Hi, Conflicted Feelings! I mean Your Highness. I mean Noct. o/

Like I told Lynn I have like....minimal castmate CR so there's no easy place to go 'so hey this is a thing we can play with!' which is unfortunate. But that's okay!

WELCOME TO THE WOOOORLD OF TOMORROOOOOW THE CAST! *\o/*

[basileia]

you got there eventually ajsdkf HELLO TO YOU TOO, HANDSOME!!! i mean nyx.

that is indeed okay! i'm sure we'll get around to something or other. this is some cr that i'm looking forward to :>

and thank you so much! i feel very welcomed!

[basileia]

[alizes]

Yo yo yo hi Emily nice to have you around! I can't wait to throw Iris at Noct, she'll do her best to ease him in when he wakes up and be as helpful as she can because Noct :V

Anyway I'm Al, we talked on discord! I'm over at crotalus, is it ok if I add you?

[basileia]

hello al!!! i'm so looking forward to these two spending time together! she'll have to give him a tour and he can "remember" all their old hang-out spots :> what a sweetie

and yes, add away!!!

[ouzel]

dislikes vegetables

somehow I feel like this'll be something Cassian brings up to Ignis: "have you tried spaghetti squash?" just to be that friend. yep.

ANYWAY HI since Noct hangs out at Go Ask Alice and Ignis and Cassian are friends & coworkers, Cassian and Noct should be friends yes yes cinnamon rolls?

[basileia]

oh my god this amuses me greatly. no, you cannot trick him with nice words like spaghetti!!!

HELLO HELLO ERA i would love for them to be friends! please tell me cassian's favorite candy so noct can smuggle some over from lagomarcino's c:

[votively]

I know I already said hey to you in chat BUT HELLO AGAIN, it's nice to meet you, Emily!! My name's Trap, and I play Luna! I'm so excited to have Noctis around, it'll do Luna's heart so much good to see him well. :') At least at first, because this place is awful and nothing nice happens here ever.

BUT YES, welcome!! I can't wait to play with you! I hope you have fun here...!! \o/

[basileia]

belatedly sob HELLO TRAP!!! it's so nice to meet you, too. i am also super excited to see these two get to reunite. right now, noct remembers her but not what happened to her, and i'm sure that slow realization will be painful. BUT ALSO REALLY INTERESTING TO RP! i think they should get to hug...

thanks so much!!! i look forward to threading with you too :>
