• Reserves open on January 17th at 9pm EST! Please note; due to player polls, players may now apply for characters without a reservation. Applications open on January 25th at 12am EST.
• For current players who are interested in 2nd or 3rd characters, please review and follow our policy about AC! To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC. This means you must have 20 comments between at least 2 and at most 4 threads and one memory regain listed for the current month's AC period. Your reserve will not be accepted until you supply the requested AC!
As a note, we will update the application page with a space for current players to link their full AC for our review should a player wish to apply without a reserve.

• Most importantly, as a friendly note: Recollé will be going into its endgame this year. Estimated endgame is no earlier than July/August of 2019.

oh you’re never too late!! gathers all the teens, come here lil guy 😊

she’ll be surprised so many of you have these problems you shouldn’t be having!!! maybe retrospectives can have free appointment, who knows :)

what a nice mom friend...!!

but whatever you wanna do with the therapy stuff is, well, up to you! i'm pretty flexible and i don't want you to feel like, pigeonholed or anything when this is your character and your au. i did want to ask if amhi has any special areas of focus just because... i don't know a lot about holistic therapy and google has not been helpful in giving details. i understand the concept but i didn't know if amhi was the "i do kind of everything" or "i really like to focus on these certain areas/concepts" sort. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE... i an uninformed. also if you do wanna go ahead with the therapy route just lmk if you need anything on my end, info or background-wise.

irrelevant to all the above, i realized earlier that mmmaybe also: sun god connection :O since malik is associated with ra. but we can also save that stuff for later.

oh no not at all!! I would actually like some of malik’s bg either now (if you want them to be prestablished) or later (if you’d prefer he’d meet with her only after she got the app). and ahmi’s areas of specialty!!! she can do a wide range of things that I briefly cover here just for an idea, but what she’s really good at are energetic therapies and activities she can directly use her hands for (massage, reiki). ahmi would almost always never use any method alone, which includes a group of what’s listed to fit the character in question + phycological/spiritual wellness to make one or many sessions.

it’s basically a therapist that uses all natural means to balance a patient and considers all their aspects as a person (body, mind, soul), rather than the conventional therapist that focuses a lot on the mind.

ok yes this boy definitely needs some balancing, and i do think it'd be pretty beneficial since he can't really be open about his retrospec experiences with his regular therapist.

i'd like for him to be a newish client, if only because in november he started really talking his poor mental health / poor general state of affairs seriously and was like hm. fuck. i should fix this because im miserable.
for a little background, he's a foster kid who has now aged out of the system, and with that came a whole slew of issues which he externalized through acting out. he has a bad temper and uses his abrasive personality as a destructive tool to keep people away from him and to cover his vulnerabilities. his canon background is pretty dark so i won't get into detail here since it deals with pretty sensitive content (like child abuse) but essentially, getting those memories back has put malik in a weird spot where he doesn't know how to cope with the memories. aaand lastly, that intersects with his canon dissociative disorder, so he feels like he has to keep track of like... three other maliks, instead of just himself, and it sort of reinforces his insecurities. who is he really???? what is going on?????

wow that's really heavy, im sorry. but i do want to reiterate that using more holistic methods to help restore some balance to his life would be pretty helpful, since so far he's only been getting help (or rejecting help) in one area at a time, and nothing really like... syncs together to be effective, if that makes sense?

i'm going to do some reading on the therapies in your petalflow link, but i'll also say (again lol) that is nothing else, one of the massages would be gr8 to help him relax. biofeedback might help his temper + impulsivity if he has to stop and take a moment to listen to his body and chill, too.

I’m no holistic therapist but (rolls up sleeves) ahmi will do a crazy gymnastic pirouette into making something work for him. we can always try threading some of that out, but I’ll mostly be winging what would be best for him and we can make it mold into something good for his psych 🙏

a lot of talking, a lot of activities— she’ll definitely do her best!!! and so will i to make it realistic. eventually once she regains godhood, she’ll probably be integrating that into her work so, there’s some. divine intervention, so to speak.

be in peace my child 💛
