[thestewards]

Welcome to A Gentle Night! We're excited to have you here and can't wait to kick off our next event with an OOC plotting post on Tuesday the 19th. New characters will have officially arrived as of the event post.

Take this time to say hello and introduce yourselves to each other. Feel free to use the form below. Decide whether or not you want to keep your TDM threads canon with other characters who were accepted.

This month, you may receive influence for Hot Under the Collard Greens and Revenge, Served Stinky. For Terrible Two(hundred)s, you may earn reputation with either Loren or Grejor, depending on how you solved the problem. Remember, this is only applicable to canon TDM threads. Influence is contingent on how your character interacted with the prompt. Go to the Influence Page and follow the example if you wish to submit a thread for influence or reputation.

Purple Dusk to Green." <strong>Short-term plans</strong>: What would you like your character to get up to in Draega at the start? <strong>Long-term goals</strong>: Whether it's instigating another landen uprising, making your Offering, or something as banal as opening a bakery. <strong>TDM threads</strong>: Do you want to keep TDM threads as canon? <strong>Anything else</strong>:

Player Handle: Elia
Character(s): Lalli Hotakainen
Character Summary: Lalli is a twenty-year-old night scout/mage from post-apocalyptic Finland with zero (0) people skills. Catch him stealing food right off your plate/hissing at cats because they hate him/pissing off the locals, because seriously, what are social norms?? He sure doesn't know. His hobbies include sleeping in the weirdest places, scouting around the most dangerous environments for hours on end, eating anything with SUGAR (direct him to cinnamon rolls ASAP, please), awkwardly staring at people... he's great. He has an OPAL!
Short-term plans: Almost everything in Draega is new and wild to Lalli, so he's going to need some time to, like, come to terms his new "home." He's going to spend some time exploring the city, figuring out what this Craft nonsense is all about, aaaaaand avoiding people if he can help it, but please... bother him and/or fuss at him... :') I'm ready to make stuff HAPPEN!!
Long-term goals: Hoo, boy! Here we go...
-This is lame tbh, but I want him to make FRIENDS!! He's twenty and he just recently made his very first friend, so blease... help him... and drag his quiet self into things...
-Politics? What? He's not a socially savvy person, so eventually he's going to tell the wrong person the wrong thing... and lose some serious influence, because he's dumb. I would loooove for someone/some people to, like, teach him how to properly interact with other people? To fuss at him about manners???
-He'll definitely go for the Offering one day, but I'm not quite sure how that will go down. Stay tuned, folks...
TDM threads: SURE! Whatever floats your boat.
Anything else: I'm over at tuchanka, so feel free to add me! I chat about rp stuff, fandom stuff, my pets, etc.

[unwieldy]

hi and welcome, elia!! i'm yuul and i play haein who is also a great lover of avoiding people so i can't offer you a friend in him but i want.... to see lalli hissing at cats...

[ilves]

hi, yuul!! lalli will make enemies of every cat he sees, so the hissing opportunities are endless... get ready

and hey, fellow loners make the best friends?? they can hang out in opposite corners of a room and silently judge everyone

[unwieldy]

i've never been more ready!!!!!!

can he judge lalli for being a loner like the giant hypocrite that he is

[ilves]

uh, of course? because lalli will be doing the same thing! petty boys

[unwieldy]

wheeze i can't wait for haein to fill lalli's life with random cats he finds on the streets just because he's that level of petty

[phykios]

hello and welcome welcome!! i'm z and i play percy jackson! i'm canonblind on lalli but he sounds super fun!!!!

omg so many exclamation marks here lmao FEEL MY EXCITEMENT, FRIEND!!!!11!

[ilves]

hi! lmao i also overuse exclamation points, so i definitely DO feel!!! the!!! excitement!!!!!!

i'm also canonblind fjghdjg but from what little i know, percy seems v cute! i can't wait to thread! lalli can tell him about gross man-eating trolls that live in the water back home... fun stuff

[phykios]

HAHA YESSS they can swap stories about weird monsters....they've had to deal with...

[ilves]

to live is to suffer, comrade... he understands

[inducings]

Hi Elia! I'm Shira, bringing in Piper here. Lalli sounds really interesting - and I can tell you that if he and Piper become friends, she will definitely help him out with normal human interaction... if she can. Let's throw them together and see what happens?

[ilves]

nice to meet you, shira!! and god, YES. i'd love to see how it goes! he's quiet, but he's one of those people who will say EXACTLY what's on their mind if pressed... so he has a lot to learn about tact fjhgdjfhg save him from these tricky politics :'c

piper also seems super cute?? teach him about vegetarianism... he'll be shooketh

[inducings]

Growing up in a post-apocalyptic Finland and thinking of living without meat??? Yeah, I can see why, lol! She'll tell him! She's not preachy about it, she just... can't do meat, so I'm sure he'd notice that eventually?

[ilves]

he would! he's oddly observant about this kind of stuff? and he's also a weirdo who picks the meat off a sandwich and ignores the rest, so they can even go halfsies for lunch... like, order a sammy with the meat on the side. that's peak friendship

[inducings]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees #goals, for sure.

[championbittersweet]

Ok so first I just wanna say that that summary is amazing. He sounds like a stray cat himself and I want to adopt him but I have like the worst character for that but IDK. I feel like a vampire constantly going WAIT NO STOP EATING SO MUCH SUGAR DON'T SLEEP THERE WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS would be hilarious

[ilves]

aaaah, thank you! lalli really IS like a stray cat... the worst kind lmfkfgj. leave food out for him ONE time and watch him move right onto your front porch

and this sounds like cr i would die for??? please, fuss at him for days... teach him the importance of eating a healthy, balanced diet...

[championbittersweet]

He can do that! He lives on the palace grounds so he gets a stipend that... he doesn't really use because lol no eating. But Jon would be fine with giving food to others.

[ilves]

damn........ bro...

[mekhanikos]

hi elia and welcome! i'm celen and i play leo valdez from riordan's books, and i'm pretty sure they're going to be a disaster because leo talks and jokes at the same rate as he breathes... but somehow isn't all that great at making friends, either. he'll sure try to help lalli with things, though, probably??

anyway, i would love to get some cr going! and one of these days i need to get into reading stand still stay silent, i feel like as a finn it's my sacred duty to do so

[ilves]

hello!! i love leo already... i hope he jokes nonstop around lalli, because lalli won't understand anything gfhfgkhf. please teach him the corniest jokes of all time...............

and AAAH, you should! it's so good, and so pretty - not that i'm biased or anything :') ps if you ever catch me getting a finnish fact™ wrong, feel free to let me know!!! i've had to google some crazy shit, like finnish fairytales (WILD!) and how many reptiles y'all have over there... love it

[mekhanikos]

oh man, this is going to be great.... don't worry he's going to be your joke yoda, lalli

i keep seeing pages of it around twitter and it looks super lovely!! and obviously i'm relatively invested in the content, we learn kalevala in like... elementary school... but oh my god why are you googling about reptiles, i can't even imagine, though honestly do we even have any i sure as heck never see any... do they exist or are they a myth?? we might never know

[ilves]

GOD, kalevala seems like the wildest thing!! i looooooove reading the translations where people try to capture its cadence... all of the spells in ssss sound so pretty...

google told me that y'all have, like, five whole reptiles, but who knows!!! we can just send you all of ours... the US has Too Many

[romancekiller]

ooh more post apocalyptic people!! anyways hi elia, welcome to the game. i'm k and play clarke griffin (the 100) over here.

i am also canon blind but lalli sounds pretty interesting and clarke would definitely try to be friends with him too. maybe fuss over him?? idk she is very much the mom friend of her canon so that might be pretty likely depending on how things go. anyways i am looking forward to cr \o/

[ilves]

hi, k!! and oh good, a mom friend... he needs one fkjgdfkg i hope his rude attitude doesn't get in the way... blease be his friend and talk about post-apocalyptic life. his involves lots of magic and man-eating trolls, but! still!!
