June OOC Introduction Post
WELCOME TO DEERINGTON!
Hello new players, and hello old players with new faces! We're thrilled to have you in the game and we hope your time here is horrifically wonderful! Please feel free to use this space to introduce yourselves to one another and show off your new characters! Below is some useful information for all new players of the game and how you can expect the game to function! You certainly do not need to read it in order to plunge into the game, but we felt it might prove useful for some people and help you adjust to how the game works quicker!
EVENTS AND MEMES
We have an IC Prelude Post made by our NPC, the Dog Keeper, in the DeerFeed community. This functions as an edition of the Deerington Post that all characters are ICly capable of receiving. It will give hints and suggestions to what you can expect from the upcoming event without giving full details, and it also clarifies things like the weather in Deerington or other important IC details for the month, such as severe impacts on characters or the environment. Prelude Posts are made at the first of every month.
We hold one event per month. Many of our events have a lasting impact on characters that will sometimes carry over a month or two after the original posting. We always clarify what parts of these events may carry over, and even as a new player, you may be able to access certain elements from events posted before you were in game! Events can be found in the
deerington community and carry over events will be linked in the new event posts for reference.We provide content warnings for each of our events. Each event typically has a specific horror focus, and some events may be more specific than others. Please make sure to read the content warnings closely. All of our events are specifically designed so players can feel comfortable opting out of any of the events without completely missing out on what's going on. Never feel you have to engage with any part of an event that makes you uncomfortable!
With every event we post a plotting post so that everyone can dig in on what they want to plan for the event. This is posted at the same time as the event.
We have a CR meme that is posted every other month. This encourages people to make long-term plans with each other as well as catch up on what characters might be going through in the game!
Our Test Drive Meme is posted on the 25th of every month. All TDM events can be used in game canon! You can also use direct TDM posts as AC! 10 points for a top-level (new characters only), 3 points per log comment, 1 point per network comment (all players).
Our Activity Check always begins on the first and closes on the fifth. Please remember to comment to this post so you can submit your AC! One of our players has made a helpful tracker for those who may be interested!
USEFUL LINKS AND INFORMATION
While we have provided you with your essential links for joining the game, we have compiled a useful list of links you might be interested in for further immersion of the game!↪ The Dog Keeper: The Dog Keeper is probably the most interactive and consistent of the NPCs in our game. You can actively contact and communicate with the Dog Keeper, but don't always expect an immediate response! Heck, sometimes he won't respond at all. You can find further information about the Dog Keeper here and more about his dogs here.
↪ The Deerly Beloved App: This was a "dating application" made for the game back in the 2019 February Event. The application is a bit of a hacking-app that will break itself into a character's phone and potentially use fourth wall information to make up a silly Tinder-style profile. Feel free to put this on your journal for your character and have fun with it! It is 100% optional.
↪ The Bestiary: This is a good reference to the beasts your character may be able to interact with inside of the game. Some of them are very situational or location based, but we have provided the monsters that might routinely be seen throughout the game. Feel free to dig right into playing around with them!
↪ Game Calendar: Most of our posts are consistently made the same dates every month, such as our AC and our applications, but we make sure to post when game-events can be expected! Most game events are made between the 11th to the 15th. We try to update the calendar at least one week before the end of each month.
↪ Death Certificates: This will help you keep track of your character's deaths in game as well as any symptoms they might be experiencing. Most new characters won't have to worry about this but heck, what do we know? Maybe you'll want to get to dying sooner than most!
We hope our information has been helpful! As always, feel free to ask any questions you may have, and we hope you have fun!

get you a man who looks at you the way riku looks at mickey mouse
Hello! My name is Ran and I was in the game for a little bit before and have finally returned with Riku from Kingdom Hearts!! He'll be coming in from after KH3 so please let me know if you want to avoid spoilers.
Riku is a teenage boy who has had multiple games dedicated to his teen angst and drama, but he is finally, finally, maturing into a reasonable human being thanks to the help of his good friend Mickey Mouse. Do not be fooled by his cool and muscular exterior - he is mostly just a socially awkward guy who wants to protect his friends and carries a big car key around.
He's really trying to be a good hero so he'll likely be around helping people out if they need it. Different worlds and dream worlds are old news to him so he can help out newbies too. He just might accidentally sound rude or weird by talking a lot about darkness in the process. Give him a chance.
You can find me at

Sora will be sure to tell everyone how much of a good soft loser Riku actually is don't worry ;D
Would you like to keep the TDM canon or start fresh? I'll be jumping on your top level in the intro event of coure!
no subject
If you're up for it, I'd like to keep it! Sets us up for some good Death Talk.
no subject
ALSO not going to lie I almost forgot that Sora "rewrote" everyone dying with his jesus power so Riku doesn't know he never stepped in front of Sora to take that huge storm of heartless for him but SORA DOES KNOW. That will be fun for them to figure out LMAO
no subject
but it does make for good drama so 👀

Did you want to keep the TDM thread as canon or start fresh? I'm fine with either! Also, do you mind if I add you on plurk?
no subject
Let's keep it canon! It's a good intro for poor dumb Riku.
no subject
It's okay. Riku won't be dumb for long. This place has a lot of people who are more than ready to throw all sorts of info at newbies. And I will def throw Roxas at him in the intro log!
no subject
I'm gonna have a blast having two socially awkward and confused teens go through this place. Let's have at it! <333

Hello hello! I'm new, too, my name is Chase and I'm playing Quentin from The Magicians, who is a lot less outwardly angsty than Riku but can definitely relate to the 'desperately trying to be a hero' dealio. I just finished Pirates fo the Caribbean land in kh3 and I aim to be finished by the end of next week so no worries on spoilers!
I'm delighted there's a KH cast around I can bug, mind if I add you on plurk?
no subject
These two should definitely do some heroic things together. That's how Riku bonds with people lmao. And please do add me!
