➥ Em

Contact: rifting or Em#8430 Can We Add You: Yeah man totally, shoot me a request, I'm game. Introduction: WHAT UP fellas hello I'm Em, Taurus, 29, data analyst/project manager for the day job. Aside from RP you can catch me modding Skyrim or playing League. 90% of my plurks are just RP chatter & memes, with the occasional live-plurk of something if I'm hype about watching it. Availability: I'm Arizona time! And I work from home, so I can be pretty frequently available if I don't have much on the agenda for the day. Alternatively sometimes work goes Hard and depletes the brain, in which case I'll take a few days off tagging to do other stuff. Extra: I'm down to keep TDM interactions! I know it's hard to keep those afloat after the intro event thing happens, so if you wanna hit me up to handwave how it ends please definitely do. I'm totally down for thread #2.

➥ Jack Townsend

Canon: Tales from the Gas Station Age: 26 Does Character Have Powers/Cursed Items: Yep! Lemme slap da bass real quick here: Jack's weird! For all intents and purposes, Jack doesn't sleep. Like, he's incapable of being knocked out. No magic, no surgery anesthesia, no cosmic deities, nothing's able to really put this guy fully under. He's also immune to having his memories wiped, and it's probably related? Something something long term short term I don't know how cognitive function works. His non-sleeping issue is actually the product of a degenerative brain thing he believes to be terminal, which causes him to have black-outs, lost time, lost memories, confusion, disorientation, and most importantly: hallucinations. That one matters the most because sometimes those hallucinations manifest into reality. It's rare, it won't come into play that often, but he'll be entering the game with a cursed item that's a product of this. He's carrying it in a cooler. It's gross. You probably don't want to know what it is. He's going to talk to it, and if your character is psychic or otherwise in tune with the supernatural, feel free to hear it talking back! His name is Jerry, and he can kind of sort of Tell things about things. Where those car keys are, how many guns a dude has on him, whether or not somebody's the literal devil. That kind of thing. I'll check your permissions post or hit you up before he observes anything! Entity Affiliation(s): The Spiral. Because, crazy. Permissions: HERE Information: So this canon's actually super neat! It started out as a series of posts on r/nosleep that got wicked popular, so the guy turned them into official novels. The novels are good, but dude, the audiobooks voiced by Mr CreepyPasta will blow you away. I've got the first one uploaded here if anyone tryna scope it. It's a horror-comedy about a gas station located on top of basically a cosmic leyline, where weird shit tends to just sort of fall through. Jack's the main attendant at the gas station, and he's gotten progressively more desensitized to all the weird stuff that happens. Except as the novels get rolling, things get really... extra-dimensional... trippy... multiversal insane. Ya boi seen some shit. Also, there's an apocalypse. The novels are actually told in the style of a blog post, basically they're all Jack writing about his life, chronicling the events that unfold to a modest following of readers. He might do something of the sort network style here if I find a good way to work it in. Plotting: Just tryina get that foot in the door first! Get him some solid bro cr established, preferably someone who can moderately tolerate him enough to trust that he knows the difference between his crazy tendencies and actual insane reality. Visuals: sup Jay Baruchel??

[retisense]

Can I sign up for some bro CR? I enjoyed their TDM thread immensely.

[stations]

yes hello thank u for ur application to bro, it has been approved, pls begin work at 9 am on the date of whenever the log thing goes up

[retisense]

Yes good. I'll hit him up immediately. Do you want to handwave the TDM or keep going? I'm fine either way.

[stations]

Let's handwave and get us something dope and fresh going where we don't have to go through the whole "this is how a game works" thing! skip to the goods u kno

[retisense]

Sounds good to me! I do love me some goods.

[cacophonish]

Hey, welcome! I've just started reading Jack's canon pretty recently (after catching a few of the stories on reddit waaaay back whenever) and I'm so excited to see him here! I've got a dumb bard OC from the 90s who's also living at Bonnie's, and would totally offer some bro cr.

[stations]

HOWDY thank you!

I gladly accept, Jack needs a dumb bard in his life in order to function tbh. If you ever get around to the audiobooks man I cannot recommend enough, the voice acting really brings them characters to l i f e.

[cacophonish]

oh shit wait I somehow missed he's with the Spiral, so's Jeff, this is going to be fantastic (OR TERRIBLE)

and I gotta get those! I could use something new to listen to on my commute

[stations]

oh lawd this finna Spiral out of control

10/10 highly recommend! General warning, you might laugh like a crazy person in public. The delivery in some of those lines... don't say u weren't warned

[horrifictie]

I'll eventually get around to listening to this (I'm awful with audiobooks/podcasts in general) but for now I gotta say Jack is very cool and awesome. I'm happy to keep our tdm thread canon if you are, but if not we can start fresh if you want to keep CR going!!

Harry also has a lot of brain anomalies manifesting as voices in his head. Even in his canon there are people who don't sleep due to a specific type of radiation sickness so if that ever comes out he'd be pretty interested in it.

[stations]

THANK YOU you've been tricked he's actually a huge dumb sad nerd, but I'll let you believe that until u get around to throwing that on for about 5 minutes bc that's all it takes to Know Better ahaha.

I'm cool to keep it canon too! We can build off of it fer sher.
