MEME ∞ INTRO & CR — June 2025

Meme ∞ Intro & CR
June 2025
Welcome!
It's time to introduce yourselves! Use the form below to get out there and start plotting. New and old players alike are encouraged to post to the Intro & CR.

A mingle log will be posted on June 8.

While we won't be doing intro/mingle logs every application round, we'll have one for the first two rounds (June and August) to help everyone get settled! You can also check out the Bulletin for information on weather, broadcasts, and incidents.

Notes
  • Characters can arrive in-game on any date throughout the month of the TDM. This means characters do not have to, and typically will not, arrive all at once. Arrivals will be scattered and more difficult to predict. Use this to stagger CR, give characters a couple weeks without seeing each other, or whatever you feel makes it interesting!
  • Since base AC is low, players need to make AC for their first month. TDM threads continued into the month are perfectly acceptable as long as the comments submitted take place in the current month.
Updates
  • We've made some updates to the Invites page to reflect the game's current player cap status and added a player cap count to the Taken page. Our player cap is formally 70 players. The FAQ has also been updated to reflect these changes.
  • A reminder that the 2 characters per round allocation was for the first round only. Moving forward, all players, current and new, can only apply for one character per app round. (You may still have a total of 2 characters.)

CATBOY!!!!! stephen's definitely eaten a mystical cat before, he can probably look like a catboy. a horrible misshapen haunting facsimile of a catman, a fleshy patchwork of feline sinew

HI GWAHA remember how you went back in time and mastered power over space to bring someone back to life and saved the universe well what if you did that but like. in the worst way possible. with the opposite result

Oh my god?? PLEASE?? G'raha would be horrified but I would love it and that's what matters. (That he would be horrified AND that I would love it)

IS...IS THAT WHAT STEPHEN WAS DOING...???

I MEAN TBF after Sin Eaters and ShB in general i feel like g'raha has seen so much horrifying shit that it'd be a typical tuesday for him lbr MAN FOR REAL THO i feel like there's a lot they could connect about in terms of self-sacrifice in saving the world (before all of... gestures), the existential dread of losing the entire timeline you were a part of, experiencing an apocalypse ignore the fact that stephen caused his own apocalypse it's fine–

LISTEN NOT EVERYONE HAS A GIANT TOWER FULL OF AETHER G'RAHA, CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE

WELL THAT...and the horrors of EW...but they are still horrors!! He doesn't like they had to be that way!! Though knowing they were once people does make him sad :( But yes I agree. I think he would like Stephen and he is definitely prepared for the types to be more snarky and focus on their work. He can RESPECT it!

"LISTEN NOT EVERYONE HAS A GIANT TOWER FULL OF AETHER G'RAHA, CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE"

I want you to know I laughed so hard at that Erin holy shit. LOOK

Does Stephen want to help him at some point, maybe, try to find a source of aether big enough or try to create one so he can try the whole pulling people across timespace bullshit but only for it to go horribly wrong?

god i love how FFXIV is so traumatizing that i completely forgot about the time ten thousand civilians turned into soulless monster husks in front of their families 🙃

SHKFJDHSKF i'm so glad. i'm so sorry g'raha it was a joke i didn't mean it you're perfect honey

HOOAAGGHHH clenches fist that sounds so JUICY!!!! 👀👀👀 yes yes and yes, I love the idea of him trying to do contribute to doing Good and going about things The Right Way with Catboy Teamwork only for it to blow up in his face all over again when his hubris inevitably catches up to him

Yeah it was fine. GOOD TIMES...(I will never forget the scene with the Matanga and the baby??)

No bully him. That's why he's HERE

HIS HUBRIS...Stephen blaming himself when it's really just a very fucked up confusing world they're dealing with. Yes... excellent. Shakes your hand!! We'll need to have them meet up so they can realize they're both magic nerds

masya and the baby was the most stressful 4 mins of my life i stg

OK,,,, IF YOU INSIST,,,,,

YEAH exactly, and the failure forcing him to consider ~darker~ avenues of gaining the power needed to send people home, which he feels the responsibility to take upon himself due to the damage he's done to his own universe nevermind the fact that he'd be falling into the same bad patterns as before whoops

SO EXCITED FOR THE BEST BOY AND ALL HE SIMULTANEOUS HOPE AND TRIBULATIONS HE REPRESENTS i'll look for an opportunity to hit him up ASAP ❤️

They really went "remember when we had to hold back the horrors in SHB? Let's revisit that".

I DO...I do.

Omg Stephen!! Sometimes shit happens and it's not (entirely) your fault! (But we love a good character spiraling into despair...)

ME TOO!! This will be super fun! G'raha is On The Job (tm) trying to investigate the weirdness at the mingle. Unsure if that would be of Stephen's interest as well!

NO HE'S GOTTA FIX IT OR WHO IS HE REALLY

HEEHEEHOOHOO I'm tapping out tonight but I just read gwaha's prompts and he's first on my list to hit for the morning 👀👀👀👀 ABSOLUTELY he wants to know everything he can of this place that has caged him specifically all these folks from the multiverse to FREE him THEM
