January Intro: I Know the Winter's Getting Colder
INTRO LOG: JANUARY
Who: Everyone!
What: New souls arrive to the archipelago of LifeAftr
When: January 5th and onward
Where: Chol and surrounding waters
Warnings: Mark as needed!
What: New souls arrive to the archipelago of LifeAftr
When: January 5th and onward
Where: Chol and surrounding waters
Warnings: Mark as needed!
The Overview: New Lands
New arrivals will not be waking in the typical hub of activity; instead, they will find themselves coming to on the small island of Chol. While the island's fringes are little more than an unforgiving spread of craggy, canyon-like rock and coastal cliffs, the island dips down to form a fertile divot of edenic woodland in its center. The people living there will even be helpful and polite to you, should you inquire after them.
All new arrivals will additionally awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can all be found in your acceptance notices!
Icebreaker: This is the Winter of Our Youth
Unless you're someone with a fondness for the cold, you'll undoubtedly be waking with more than a slight chill in your bones. The appearance of the island of Chol has signaled a coming event of great import in LifeAftr, and unfortunately, the signs of that event's approach have already been set in motion. The temperature has begun to drop as the sun's rays begin to die, faster and faster, leading to an impressive cold snap in the ocean waters - particularly those surrounding Chol.
It is for that reason that you won't be waking on Chol, per se. Instead, you'll be waking on a thick crust of ice that's mantled itself over the ocean waters, freezing solid enough to bear your weight...for the most part.
Mainland: When We Pick Over the Past
Should you make it to the land of Chol, braving the iced-over waters surrounding its craggy shores, you'll encounter something at least as startling - the people who have elected to set up a rudimentary encampment upon its lands. While a bit on the scalier side, the Jormun are nonetheless allied to you land-dwellers, and will welcome you to the island.
Those who might have braved the cold a little too fiercely will quickly be offered some rather rough blankets - perhaps more on par with burlap sacks in terms of texture - as well as a hot brew that the Jormun call brrkshavak. Heated to a boil just prior to being served, the drink will be more than adequate in warming your weary bones, though it bodes mentioning that it is both scalding hot and made with a fleshy kind of undersea herb that is akin to crushed chili pepper in taste.
It'll warm you up, all right.
As a final note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme, bear in mind that those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!

Including, of course, strengthening a curse's transformative properties until the bearer doesn't even look human anymore. That, her grandmother made sure she knew plenty about.
"Since when can the moon just... do stuff like this on its own?"
no subject
Sonje looked over and saw that she looked unnerved. Maybe just a little bit. Maybe it was her imagination. Either way, she leaped to conclusions. "Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry! My mouth just runs off on its own sometimes!"
She wasn't even sure what she was apologizing for. She just...couldn't stop herself.
no subject
She blinks, raising her eyebrows in faint surprise at Sonje's reaction. "--What? It's cool, man. I just hadn't heard of anything like that before. Like, there's plenty of shit people do with the moon, but I've never heard of it doing stuff itself. Unless you count, y'know, after-effects of spells and all that."
no subject
"In my land there are many old tales of the Sun, Moon, and Stars interfering in the lives of mortals. I never really paid much heed to them, honestly, until I woke up here."
no subject
Man, it's too bad Grant isn't here. He'd be all over something like this.
no subject
"Wherever we are now, it clearly is very, very far from home."
no subject
That, though, she can agree with either way. "For sure. God, this is such bullshit - I had plans this weekend, I can't afford to be tryin' to get away from... from faeries or the Moon or whatever assholes did this."
Yyyyep just gonna focus on the short-term, and not... you know, the risk of being trapped here while hundreds of years pass on Earth.
no subject
She paused, thinking. Hadn't Sawyer made a passing mention to something called "Eurovision"? Maybe that was related to Europe. Maybe this woman was from Sawyer's world. "Does...a place called 'Armerica' sound familiar?"
She hadn't remembered the name QUITE right. Also, Sonje realized, she had never asked her her name, but felt too awkward to ask her now. She prayed she would bring it up FOR her.
