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, especially regarding June's event(s).

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

He is now aware that The System is rigid and if broken, turns things straight up weird, so he will do his best to bide by the rules!!

[aeturnus]

Darn tootin'.

I mean, this place is full of weird rules already so who's to know this isn't one of them right

[handsomefoil]

Please say darn tootin' around Henry at least once...

Just gotta cover all the bases. Drink more beer. Judge more people while siting around on a porch. Following rules is hard.

[aeturnus]

I regret to inform you that Cain would totally use the phrase "darn tootin'" and no one is ever sure if he's serious or not.

It's a sacrifice they must make for the good of the town!

[handsomefoil]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD I mean god, how embarrassing

(multiple voices) the greater good

[aeturnus]

HOW EMBARRASSING INDEED. only not because how do you embarrass a 2800 y/o?

This is gonna be so great.

[handsomefoil]

I'm sure there can be ways to be found. Maybe not by Henry, but... WHO KNOWS??

Yessss I'll have to hop on over to the mingle log and think of a post for tomorrow.

Hello hello Pines! I bring you this tiny ray of sunshine Iris Amicitia! From the FFXV game. Iris is Gladiolus’s brother, so she was raised in a family of warriors who put their duty and loyalty before everything else, and it shows. She’s always trained very hard and has had a safety net around her so she’s basically unafraid of most things and will jump into battle without giving it much thought if she has to. And she’s always determined to keep a happy attitude and an optimistic view in life.

I don't have very specific plans for her yet, she's simply going to get a lay of the land and do some tourism (she LOVES getting to know new places and investigating a bit). She's a curious girl so she will probably end up sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. And eventually she may like to take a part time job somewhere!

As for me I’m Al, nice to meet y’all! If you want plot or CR with Iris, or just to have a chat you can find me over at crotalus or at crotAlus#6541 at discord :> thanks for having me, I’m super excited to be here!

[bird_thing]

hey guys, it's mel that mod responsible for the legend that is Linda and her blondies, and today i bring you all... a bird.


or to be more specific i'm bringing you Tobias from the scholastic ya book series Animorphs. for anyone not familiar with the series it's about a couple of kids who have to fight an invading alien parasite using only their wits, desperation, and the ability to morph into various animals.

tobias himself got stuck in the morph of a red-tailed hawk pretty early in the adventure, and though he eventually got his ability morph back he kind of............. likes being a bird better. and it's not like anyone in his old life even noticed he was gone.

anyway, tobias won't remember anything about the yeerks for awhile, because knowing about a parasitic alien invasion and having no idea who to trust kind of makes for a bad rp experience. when he's a bird he can communicate via something basically like telepathy, and he can take human form for 2 hours at a time he's just not a big fan of it.

he's not the most social of birds normally but considering none of his friends he usually talks to are in town right now he might be just a little more ready to make new friends than he normally is. he's sort of a dreamy kid, sort of a jaded one, and honestly really in need of a hug.

however you hug a bird, anyway.

no fake pines memories because for all anyone in charge is aware of right new he's just a bird but as always you can find me at spotters_guide for cr plotting, questions, whatever!

[comic_relief]

Kareeeen!! We're sharing two games again, ahhh, this is exciting, THIS IS ME HEAVY BREATHING EXCITEDLY ON YOUR WINDOW. :D

Your orphan should meet my orphan, I'm sure it'll be a fun time! I'm always here to provide with my endless supply of shitty teen CR.

[onewithfido]

HELLOOOOOO TRAUMA TOWN I GOTCHU

This is Ashlee, player of that little butthead Laura (shoplifter), trying out a second person who is a.) more social and b.) so bad he's kinda good. It's Mike Munroe from Until Dawn! Swarmy idiot womanizer turned freaked-out Die Hard idiot who just wanted to have a good time ffs. He's going to be almost 100% amnesiac and won't know his name at first, but he'll probably hit on all the ladies in-between brooding in his room or getting awful memories of death and doom slowly. And yeah, he's a sole survivor timeline. Cool cool cool.



Add me at Trollin_Ur_Roys, if you want!

I'm gonna be unoriginal and c/p his test drive opener on the intro, but I'm more than open to plotting for June and stuff to do. :)



edit: also he's not agent ward how d a r e you assume--

[unweaving]

YES GOOD WELCOME

I'm Tilly, I play Aranea here! She has a lingerie store and I have pre-emptively been forbidden by our castmates from having Aranea gift Iris inappropriate items so it's totally safe to tag with me.

[comic_relief]

Hell yes, more Final Fantasy. ♥ /presses face to window.

Helloooo, welcome to the game! I'm Shira, and NGL, I was super excited to see Iris on the reserve list, ahhh. I have Jack from FF Type-0 kicking around who's around the same age and from a similar background (because let's be real, nobody is allowed to have nice things when you're from a FNC game). They're both obnoxious optimists so I predict nothing but good things if they get CR, WHICH I HOPE THEY DO.

[unweaving]

ew

[unweaving]

no wait is he bringing a wolf friend

[onewithfido]

[onewithfido]

and no sadly he is (currently) without his wolf friend

SOMEDAY.......

[unweaving]

THANKS, I GREW THEM MYSELF

[unweaving]

That's the saddest thing i've ever heard

[onewithfido]

it's probably for the best

he doesn't remember their sweet adventures together yet

one day tho... reunited and it feels so gud.

[adnauseam]

hey, beloved pinecones, this is jeeps (mod and player of that troublemaker steve rogers), crawling tiredly toward y'all with another cevans face, in that grand and shameless tradition of the pines, frank adler from gifted. frank is just a regular dude raising his math genius niece mary, though before that he was a philosophy professor at boston u. now he fixes boats. it's a whole thing. he's technically a florida man but not like. a florida man, if you catch my meaning. he's been described in canon as the "quiet damaged hot guy" and has some of the backstory to make that legit, though he mostly keeps his head down when he can. (when he can't, it's usually because of mary.) he doesn't have much of a life but he does have a ritual of dropping mary off with the sitter for friday nights/saturday mornings to bang have his frank time, a tradition he will be keeping alive and well in wayward pines and which i hope to use to facilitate banging cr. (seriously though he needs friends. and sleep. he's so tired.) he'll probably be found at the bar weekly.


i'm very much in the process of getting his stuff set up bc i'm still balls deep in app review but i'm really looking forward to playing him and developing some false memories + new memories. please feel free to add me at jeeps so we can plan things, and i also live on discord at jeeps#9644.

[alizes]

BAHAHA sorry Aranea, no lingerie for this one yet BUT she will totally admire a woman with her own business and just Aranea's badass-ness in general tbh so expect her to just gravitate around her :>

[alizes]

HI SHIRA!

Jack does seem like he'd get along super well with Iris! :> I am definitely looking forward to Iris making friends her own age (stop stealing your brother's friends Iris) so this would be perfect!!

[blaiiines]

I'm willing to play it however you want! :) Having a friend like David would certainly motivate Blaine into continuing to be a good-ish person.

And if he does call him Frankenstein, that would also be fine. Because zombie :D;

[blaiiines]

Ahhh Iris is the cutest and I love her. Hi, I'm Kacey, nice to meet you! I'm hoping to get some CR with you in the future! I swear that Blaine is mostly harmless. For now.
