Heyyyyy guess who's back. (I know. I really, really know. I won't spare you the details of why I was gone since it's mostly pretty stupid, but I'm sorry for the disappearance. I'm going to work harder to be better about keeping everyone informed in the future.)

First things first, I decided to drop Joshua Christopher for now, since one character seems to be my limit at the moment. Sorry for everyone that was interested in interacting with him! I'm hoping to bring him back later when stuff gets less crazy for me.

For Sasame/Sam--he broke his leg during the Sage of the Earth drama trying to protect Tamara, and also got a pretty nasty echo, which is why he's been out of commission since that time. He's managed to get the echo under control enough to function better, and his leg is healing, so he'll be showing up on the Network again!

If your character knows Sam fairly well, feel free to handwave that they've been in contact with him or even visited him at the apartment he shares with his mom. Also feel free to comment here or contact me if you need to sort out anything else.

And for everyone that's joined the game during my absence...hi!

Heyyy everybody, another intro here! I'm Walk and I'll be bringing you the famous Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion to STE.

...Except actually this incarnation is named Rei Ikari. Which means yes, she is Shinji's twin sister. Lucky for you all she is decidedly more human this time around, though unlucky for you she probably still won't care much about you unless your name is Shinji or you put in some serious time. She's extremely protective of her brother so don't expect to mess with Shinji and just get away with it. Hence the username. She will be watching you. Like a hawk.

When she isn't angrily staring down people giving her brother trouble, you can probably find her reading somewhere or quietly sitting at her laptop editing various wikipedia articles.

That's all I really have prepared for the intro post so I can't wait to just play with you all and I'm very excited so yeah. If you need to contact me at any point in time I'm walkitalki at plurk and/or "sionwalk" on aim!

Hello STE!

My name is Gingey and I'll be bringing you one Shinji "crying and masturbating" Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion! But rather than being a depressed mecha pilot with parental issues, this Shinji has two living, loving parents and a twin sister(Rei Ikari, formerly the clone of his mother named Rei Ayanami, this won't get weird at all), is addicted to Neopets.com, and spends more time with animals than people. He's still depressed and lonely and bad at social interaction though, whoops.

Sooo yeah, I look forward to playing with all of you! You can reach me on aim as gingerveer or catch me on plurk at Gingeyweasel if you want.

JULY ACTIVITY CHECK

[theearth]

Activity check will remain open through August 7th. Only activity from July 1st onwards will be acceptable.

All characters accepted a week before this announcement (July 24) and who are not already on hiatus must check in by or on August 7th or be removed from the game.

Hiatuses a week or more in length may be used instead of providing activity. HOWEVER, please note that doing so two months in a row will constitute a strike, which will stay in place for four months.

For characters using hiatus and new characters accepted within the last month: it is not necessary to fill out the 'Plot Relevant Actions' section and all four threads. Simply listing the new character's name, journal, and info post is fine.

Please fill out the following form and add it in to a new comment.
Player Section (Paste once.)
<b>Player:</b> [Whatever handle you go by.] <b>Contact:</b> [Should we feel the need to contact you privately, what is your preferred method?]
Activity Section (Paste once per character.)
<b>Character:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <user name=USERNAME> <b>Character's Info/Current Echoes Post:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Here.</a> <b>Plot Relevant Actions:</b> [Please briefly describe what this character has been up to in the last month, and/or provide an example of your character participating in the game's current plot. This does not have to be linked, and does not have to be as dramatic as fighting baddies. A good rule of thumb is that anything granting an Echo that was not from a canon parallels would definitely count here, although other actions (for example investigation, training for combat, organizing groups on the network) are also good.] <b>Thread 1:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 1</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Thread 2:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 2</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Thread 3:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 3</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Thread 4:</b> <a href=URL GOES HERE>Thread with character 4</a> | DATE STARTED <b>Anything else?:</b>

Threads do not have to be a set length to count, but it must be evident that some work/thought was put into them. A network-based thread of many brief comments may hold the same weight as a shorter one with a higher word count per comment. Threads can be from the same entry, so long as they are with different characters. In other words, don't sweat it, though if you feel four threads is not enough, you may provide up to two more, both of which can be with a character who is the same as in one of the first four linked threads.

If your character does not meet activity requirements for whatever reason, you may opt to take a strike for them by replying here or speaking with a mod. Characters with an existing strike who then qualify for another will be removed from the game. However, each strike only lasts four months before being reset.

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums cakes
that were in
the icebox relaxation vault

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast after the combine invasion

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold possibly nonexistent definitely poison moist

Also yes, this is Yubi and I have applied GLaDOS from the Portal games. Caroline Soler has recently become chairman of local tech firm Prometheus, so characters might have passed by their office building in the business district or even own some of their products. Hello, valued customers! Unless you aren't a valued customer, then you suck.

I've made a comment in the plot post for her here, so if your character is interested in figuring out stuff and things, take a look!
