Check-In #5

Required

The check-in takes place every other month. Characters who were accepted during the month of April are exempt; all others are expected to provide activity. Requests for exemption may be PMed to the account. To pass, you must have:

1. Written at least 3 tags on a single thread in one of the following places:
   • On a post in xistentia;
   • On a Test Drive Meme that has been integrated into game canon;
   • On a journal thread from an in-game Inbox or Synchr.
2. Be able to summarize your character's recent activities in the world.

All tags used to qualify must have been written between 8 March 2018 and 7 May 2018. This check-in close at midnight PST on 8 May 2018.

All players must respond to this post in one of the following ways:

1. Providing full activity.
2. Indicating you are exempt because (1) you have been on hiatus for at least one month during the AC period, or (2) your character was accepted within the last month.
3. Requesting a Strike.

All players must respond to the post unless they are on hiatus when it is posted.

If you know you are going to be on hiatus, please PM the Mod account to let us know. If you have not also been on hiatus for at least 1 month during the activity period, you will still need to either provide activity, or request a Strike when you contact us.

If you do not respond to the post, and you have not contacted the Mods to let us know, you will be automatically swept from the game once Check-In has closed.

NOTE: If you have any exceptional circumstance which has prevented you from making activity, please PM the Mod account to discuss.

STRIKES - HOW DO THEY WORK?

If you request a Strike, you must provide full activity at the next Check-In. If you fail to do so you will be swept from the game. If you need to be on hiatus during the next AC period, this is fine! You will be able to be exempt from the next Check-In, but your Strike will remain and you will need to provide full activity at the following Check-In before it will be cleared.

It is up to you as the player to tell us that you do not have activity and need to take a Strike. You must do so via response to the Check-In post. If you do not respond to the Check-In post at all, we will sweep you from the game and you will need to re-apply to Xistentia if you still wish to play.

If you are swept, you will be able to apply for the same character again right away. However, if you idle out multiple times, the Mods may contact you to discuss activity before considering any new applications.

If you have any questions about these arrangements, please comment below.

Summary: Rafa spent March still feeling low after his experiences in Panultima. He found comfort through his new friendship with Ignacio, as well as the news that Rosie was getting married. He was able to avoid getting infected with Forced Honesty, and helped to get Loki out of the room as quickly as he could. Near the end of April one of his husbands, Shane, returned to their world. Though Rafa agreed he should go to help their people, his mood has dipped again in the wake of Shane's departure.

Then Loki got badly hit by the Forced Confessions events and generally was lashing out at everyone who saw him (Era, Tony, Rafa). He also met up with Kurt at the party. He's also currently going on a date with Rafa and spoke briefly to Ignacio about the chance of regaining Asgard. Oh, and he's trying to force Thor to wear proper clothes to Era's wedding. Boy is busy.

[bratpack]

Character Name: Wyatt Lawson
Canon: Original
Username: bratpack
Thread Link: Here
Summary: Wyatt was happy to find out Rosie was getting married. He somewhat made up with Kavinsky after the latte unexpectedly apologised. His romantic life took an unexpected swerve when he met the enigmatic vampire Ignacio, to whom Wyatt was immediately attracted. This happened around the same time as he turned 19, which prompted him to start thinking more seriously about his future and where it might lead. He's less sure now of what he wants, though for the first time it's because he's questioning his own feelings, rather than questioning someone else's.

Character Name: Marcos Diaz
Canon: The Gifted
Username: outshiny
Thread Link: Here
Summary: Marcos chatted to a few new people about their icebreakers and was generally resolved to be more social. The rug was pulled out from under him when one of them turned out to be Sonya, a friend of his who had died back home. He was shocked and delighted to see her. Later, he did his best to help John deal with his complicated feelings during the Forced Honesty event.

Summary: after panultima fallout, kurt kept his head down for the most part. he chatted up vanyel (and rosie!!!) about some personal stuff, helped them both with culinary things and did his best ignoring those silly feelings he dumped all over the place! ... except for when he and rafa talked. oh, poor era suffered through the teenage drama as well. ha haha

during the forced confessions, he got a (mostly) straight answer from kavinsky (as seen above), spent time with loki at the dance where he admitted to his liking of the aforementioned dream thief and got a small peek at loki's cute protective side*, then helped rosie with rainbow hair and wedding planning!

Character Name: Ion Fortuna
Canon: Trinity Blood
Username: hermajestyssword
Thread Link: Link
Summary: Ion had been keeping to himself since his return from Panultima, finally venturing out to the spring-time mingle at his daemon's insistance - which backfired horribly, when he was caught in the fallout of the psychic bomb. He ended up blurting out his doomed love for one Esther Blanchett to all and sundry, and Kavinsky of all people tried to comfort him. It... sort of worked?

Character Name: Vanyel Greyjoy/The Dragonborn
Canon: Skyrim
Username: drehnifusbahi
Thread Link: Link
Summary: He and Rosie coasted along in newly-engaged bliss for a while, though he did have to go apologize to prospective best man Vex for not managing to tell him the good news before Rose told the entire network. He's also kept himself occupied giving one Kurt Wagner a series of Talks about sex and kink, loosely planning to maybe start up a library pub, and planning the wedding - though Rosie's forced confession that she planned to go home and take on a suicide mission has suddenly made those two things lower priority.

Now, he's busy looking for alternatives and planning to put his affairs in order in his own world to follow her back to hers...

He gave Shepard kisses for her birthday and is falling for her a bit, despite the importance of the mission. During the Forced Confessions event, he ran across Loki and their ethical/existential circling-and-growling continues.
