January Intro: It Grips Me
INTRO LOG: JANUARY
Who: New arrivals, and you!
What: New souls arrive to the archipelago of LifeAftr
When: January 5th and onward
Where: All over Ensō
Warnings: Mark as needed!
Shores of Ensō: The Sun's a Harsh Reminder Why
As dawn arrives - and with it, new adventurers to Ensō's shores. It appears the Storyteller is not about to allow a repeat of last month. The ever watchful pages that have guarded the shorelines the month prior now begin to move closer inland, circling the landscape in closing, careful arcs. To the particularly astute, their purpose may quickly become clear. Anything foreign to Ensō's natural ecosystem will be met initially with wary hovering, ruffled pages flocking to nearby trees and wheeling overhead. Now and again, a particularly brave little page will swoop down to tap against the top of an unsuspecting entity.
Foreign entities, in this instance, just so happen to include...well, all of you. These partially sentient notes can be found flitting across the entirety of Ensō and the neighboring housing islets, intent on surveying every little nook and cranny of the tropical landscape. While they may little more than a vague irritant, their attitude towards a person they’re surveying can absolutely get worse, depending on the response they receive.
Unfortunately, their response to this is likely to be just as unpleasant as it is abrupt. Those of you who protest a little too vigorously may find yourselves abruptly doused with a viscous black ink - a marker to return and inspect you again in future. Where more aggressive behavior is…noted, you may very well find yourself swept up in a tornado of angry paperwork, only to be abruptly (and not at all comfortably) deposited at the Storyteller's temple. A very weary Storyteller will do their best to apologize as they slowly smooth out the kinks in this new security system.
But surely you agree, dear adventurer, that this sort of security system is indeed necessary.
Ensō, Inland: Who Knows Where Our Limits Lie
Unsuspecting adventurers aren't the only creatures the pages seem intent on harassing, it seems. Across Ensō, the activity of the native fauna will become much more apparent as creatures are driven from their usual haunts by invading paper. From the smallest of snaplings to herds of cariborn, it will take some time for the wildlife to settle down as many disturbed creatures will find themselves displaced miles away from their natural homes, seemingly at random. Unfortunately, this also includes the creatures most would prefer not to have on the move.
Despite Ensō being home to two such creatures, very little has been discovered about them, aside from how unfortunately indestructible they seem to be. Magic, guns, bombs - name your poison, and a fustercluck will most certainly be impervious to it, including poison itself. Should you be unlucky enough to wander into the path of a fustercluck, your best option is to run - or lend the fustercluck a hand.
And another hand. And your entire body, since you offered so nicely.
The fusterclucks have a more directed path than most creatures - they can be found moving up and down the rows of G and H until January 10th, when they appear to settle down...unless they're diverted elsewhere first.
All new arrivals will awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can all be found in your acceptance notices!
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!

( CODED BY BOOTYCALL )
no subject
He appears to his left, now standing still and partly among the trees.] Hell no. We're not doing a horror movie trope.
I'm cutting cross country, welcome to come or not. But really not in the fuckin mood to be fucked with.
[He raises his eyebrow. Coming, not coming? He wipes sweat from his face and frowns at it. This isn't even a leisurely stroll for him.]
no subject
It's not a pleasant reminder.]
Or [Chara says slowly, in a tone akin to lecturing a young child.] We could sit down and let the stupid little papers carry that thing over our heads.
[Which, they should really act upon now, if they're going to. The fustercluck is worryingly close- enough that the papers previously bothering Chara veer off towards this much larger, much...stickier, threat.
It's possible Chara is actually wrong about this, in which case, they're dead. But hey. That's just how it is on this bitch of an earth.]
no subject
How likely is it that sitting down spelled our grim end? Have the papers always been around or is this a special occasion of clisterfuck chaos.
[He might as well get what information he can. If he’s going to die pointlessly he can revive and use that information for later. He could save this person and still die pointlessly. It would just take effort to achieve.]
What even is that damn flesh horror.
no subject
As for the- [They wave a hand at the flying horror terror, only a few feet away now. Too close for Chara to run if they're wrong.] it is a special edition. Congratulations on arriving in time to witness this, the virgin flight. What it is, however, is unknown, but it does enjoy long walks on the beach, slowly digesting every living thing that touches it- and fight, apparently.
[Speaking of flight, there it goes! Narrowly avoiding the top of Chara's head with putrid, dangling limbs, it passes over their head without incident.
You, however, might need to duck.]
We call them fusterclucks.
no subject
He stays tensed until it's far enough away that the danger seems to have paused. His guard only relaxes a hair as he looks back at his companion.] Dirk.
Whatever that thing is, nothing I've met that weird was assembling itself so points in its department for voluntarily being willing to go big or go home.
no subject
I'm sure it would be positively tickled at the compliment. Personally, I'm more inclined to pretend it doesn't exist at all.
[Standing, they dust off the back of their pants, giving his "skateboard" a surreptitious look.]
I imagine you're now hopelessly lost; I can guide you towards one of the more occupied areas, if you wish.
no subject
Seeing as I imagine I'm stuck here for however long. [He seems as calm about it as Chara was about their near very grisly death. In reality, he's not happy. It's in the subtle tension in his shoulders.]
How big is this island?
