AU WORKSHOP - OCTOBER
Welcome to Recollé's AU Workshop! On this post players new and old are encouraged to help one another make connections for their AU lives and to ask for or offer ideas if they so choose. Please respond to the post with the below form, and/or feel free to comment to anyone else to work things out! Please be aware that posting to this workshop does not guarantee you a reserve, and that multiple players are permitted to workshop the same character. Please find our mod questions comment here.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
World changes
FAQ

• As per our game-wide poll, we will be holding an application round in October and in November! After that, apps will resume their bi-monthly schedule. The game calendar has now been updated with the dates for this.
• Please note: you need a reserve to apply, so please plan accordingly! Reservation dates can also be found on the game calendar and coincide with the TDM.
• 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!

plops down HELLO..

okay first wanted to check if youd be cool with their past tdm thread as eventual game canon? i'd love this but understand if you'd rather a fresh start !

I'd be totally fine with their tdm thread being canon!! I was going to use it for his app as a sample anyways haha

SO I assume these two would hang out after that though I will probably make Howard remember Steinbeck a little later?? TELL ME YOUR IDEAS I am up for all of them
vitis: (the great fitzgerald)

BOY DO I. incoming

yeah john would've hit him up after that for casual hang outs. howard's a Person of Interest that doesn't seem to actively try to beat the crap out of him from those memories, so. you know. hollow laughter! once howard's on retrospec again, he'll totally want to give him all the dirt on the company while leaving out anything remotely good about it.... it makes for a good if really annoying mystery, he promises. also never mentioning he remembers him being a giant squid? for a lot of reasons, but mostly because that's... howard's busines.s.......

i'm sorry i just threw a bunch of random stuff at you but i want all the friendship. :( john knows of a really cute cat in a flowershop, so they have to visit there sometime, obviously.

steinbeck: i'm sorry to break it to you, Howard, but...you're a squid
lovecraft: is "squid" some kind of new-fangled slang term that you kids use or what

anyways YES I support all of this, Howard would definitely be happy to hang out and would probably open up about his own memories once prodded, like hey, did you really see me break my neck like what was up with that, dude

but he is happy that steinbeck would give him space to deal with his squidness. and a flowershop with a cat. truly the ideal place. he'll drag steinbeck to some old car museum or the botanical gardens in return, COME ON GRAPE FRIEND

(also sometime he'll probably ask about the grape thing if he sees it/remembers it like sorry steinbeck...he probably doesn't find it at all horrifying)
vitis: (like ^ u^ except shittier)

[personal profile] vitis 2017-10-11 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
yay!! cats and cars and gardens!! i'm laughing, should they remember each other but don't.. immediately bring it up... like when will they acknowledge the elephant in the room of being the Those Two Bad Guys trope

also he's welcome to ask... john will be pretty pleased that howard doesn't recoil in disgust or anything, thank you for that.
ohrlyeh: (in the vault)

i can imagine that howard would remember but would be hesitant to share because he thinks that steinbeck wouldn't remember himself, and i can just imagine that when he finally shares it and steinbeck is just like "YEAH, I KNOW" howard is just like WAIT WHAT!!! WHAT THE HECK

these boys trying not to own up to the fact that their counterparts are hella terrible people who are partners in crime: the most awkward conversation

look, the sea is the most terrifying thing in the world, and also people, grapevines are cool and don't even compare to that kind of thing, come on
vitis: this was sincerely in his character sheet. (womaneatingsalad.jpg)

but anyway. i'm sure i'm gonna spontaneously think of more things, a lot of things. i'll be sure to bug you about em
