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!

They chatter.
"You are able to provide a more plausible explanation for this discrepancy?"
Perhaps, if they knew Faust's thoughts, they would assert that he has been consuming too much outdated science fiction media.
no subject
"...no. No I am not."
It's not 'proof' by any stretch of the imagination, but it's an infuriatingly good point that the good doctor cannot yet properly refute.
"If I may: Most constructs where I am from are made of rock and stone, running on raw magic. We have yet to create anything sentient nor more intelligent than a particularly complex computing system. So this is...a little jarring, you will have to forgive me."
no subject
That is what they thought.
"We are a particularly complex computing system."
Just more complex than any computer system that Faust is likely to have come across before. Enough so that they posess intelligence and sapience.
no subject
"...I'll take that into consideration, thank you."
And now he has no idea what to say next. He knows in his mind he's supposed to now ask for directions, or advice...but this is...a robot. An alien robot. How on Earth - or off Earth, even - is social etiquette supposed to apply here? Is it racist to project human conventions onto them? More questions without answers leave the good doctor awkwardly standing, idle and lost.
no subject
It's also not particularly relevant. Now that the little freakout over them being an alien robot is mostly over, they go back to the more important topic of Faust being a new arrival.
"Do you desire assistance?"
no subject
"If it wouldn't be too much trouble, yes please. Would you be willing to...show me around, I suppose?"
Faust needs a minute to well and truly process this. He is about to go on an island tour with a sentient robot from outer space. Who may or may not also be sentient enough to be proficient in smartassery.
What a day this is turning out to be.
no subject
And they're going to start walking now. Probably toward the temple, since it's one of the most important places on the island.
