so a knight and a mage walk into a tavern

[crymoore]

It's time for a DOUBLE INTRO ACROSS THE SKY. My name is fresh meat (aka Kattu) and I'm bringing in two lovely ladies with me to this game.

First up is Jaina Proudmoore from World of Warcraft. Archmage, pleasant attitude, prefers reading and hearing tales from everyone she runs into. Jaina's definitely the more social character out of the two I'm bringing, so I expect to see her sticking her nose in when she can. Since I'm kind of a classic person and I don't like to discuss The Latest Book, she'll be arriving here from around the time everyone is taking on Icecrown Citadel. So Wrath of the Lich King stuff will be mostly applicable here and the events before. I'm fairly open to discussing headcanon and the like, so don't be afraid to get in touch with me. She'll be hanging out in Unit 704, although I suspect places with books might see more of her. I did manage to post an open prompt here in the transport log, but if you'd like me to tag you with her, just toss a link my way.

Second is Saber (Arturia Pendragon) from Fate/Stay Night. Knightly girl, doesn't look a year older than fifteen but certainly acts it, and she'll be feeling a bit frail/sickly until she hooks up with a Master. For those canon blind, Saber is one of seven Heroic Spirits called forth to participate in the Holy Grail Wars, originally hailing from Britain. So this will be a refreshing, yet overwhelming thing for her to go through. She'll be coming from after her heroine route which means she's kind of over the angst-she-never-shows and might actually be happier living here. She's hanging out in Unit 703, so hope the other transports are ready for a guardian 24/7. I also posted an open prompt for her here in the transport log, but like I said with Jaina, I'd be willing to tag others if you drop a link.

As for myself, I'm in GMT-5 (Central US) but I work overnights, so you'll see me around at weird hours during the weekdays. I make an effort to be around during normal times on the weekends. I live off of backtags, so don't think any tag is too late for me. On that note, if you'd like to push a thread along further faster or need to mesh out a conclusion due to my hours, I'm open to talking about it. My aim is rin, but you can also poke me around on plurk at aozaki.

Pendragon you saaaay 8|

Hi, Kattu, I'm Jen, and I play this gentleman here, Arthur Pendragon from Merlin, as well as Jack from Mass Effect. Welcome to the game!

[ex_cashcow493]

Hi Jen! Mass Effect and Merlin characters? Be still my beating heart!

As for the Pendragon then, yes, yes I do say (; I suspect Saber and Arthur will have Much To Talk About.

If they don't end up trying to kill each other first.

[fortissimos]

OH MAN, Saber's totally my favorite Type-Moon character, haha. I'm super happy to see her here!

I'm Cassie, and I just play some blue loser from a show about sad magical girls (aka Sayaka from Madoka Magica if I'm being serious for a moment). Welcome to the game!

[crymoore]

Great, I hope to be a blast to play with then <3

It's a pleasure to meet you Cassie! I'm familiar with the show, so I can't wait to have one of my ladies adopt her. Because Sayaka totally needs that. :>

[fortissimos]

You mean she isn't a perfectly healthy and responsible teenager already? Blasphemy.

I will definitely send her your way sometime, then! I might actually go tag you in the intro log if you don't mind slow, ahaha.

[crymoore]

Oh right, I don't know what I was talking about. My. Bad. P:

I don't mind slow at all! Please take your time. We can even have them mash up against each other later on if need be.

[bittertears]

Hell yeah, overnight shifts!

[ex_cashcow493]

I'm really glad to be here too! I will throw her at all the things!

[obfuskate]

[life_binder]

So Jaina, I was thinking about taking a vacation soon. How's Theramore this time of year?

[inafadingcrown]

Hey, remember yoooou. I'm Beth (also new here) and you may remember that I also have this lady in paradisa. How's it going?

[stonefaith]

[crymoore]

That's great to hear then. I hope to settle in really well here.

Oh man a Shadow. I haven't had the chance to play off of one ever. We must plot horrible things <3

[crymoore]

I hear it's the bomb these days.

[crymoore]

Yes, I remember you as well! A lot better than it was last year, that's for certain. I hope you've been doing well yourself :)

[inafadingcrown]

That's good to hear! Yeah, I've been pretty well. I look forward to seeing you around the game.

[crymoore]

/SECRETLY HOLDS A GRUDGE FOREVER AND EVER

Much love for OCs. I'm gonna have to dig around and see which ones might bounce off these two well, but if you have any preferences please let me know.

[stonefaith]

/WEEPS

HEH HEH AWESOME!! unfortunately fitful is a massive psycohtic tool with a 50% chance of trying to fight either jaina or saber, stonefaith is really sad and drunk all time right now, and rorosa will be freaking out in the catacombs for this current plot.... BUT I DON'T GOT ANY REAL PREFERENCES, and i will prolly be throwin' someone at you soon as the chance comes heh B)

[obfuskate]

you and me both, but i think we'll be good!! ♥ it seems very welcoming so far!

OH MAN HEHHEEHHGHKJDHSGJ ♥ ABSOLUTELY!! i hope i don't disappoint!

[shutupmerlin]

They are my favorite 8>

Fffff Arthur will be so confused and slightly concerned that he's a girl in another dimension

[strategic_guile]

Sabeeerrrrr asdjfkal Stop making me want to rewatch Fate/Zero!

I'm Kage, and also shiny and new to this game, but it's friendly and backtags seem to be noooo problem! I play this OC here, Blaine Thorps! I look forward to flustering, confusing, and possibly horrifying poor Saber here with friendly, totally unrepentant innuendo~!

[shamanism]

SORRY I MISSED THIS DUE TO WORK MADNESS. Welcome to Exsilium! This is Saffy-- and I'm excited to play with you again! And with someone relevant this time! Thrall isn't from the latest book either so don't feel pressured. It'll be exciting either way. B) Thanks for bringing her from a canon point where she actually knows who Thrall is. I find that very comforting.

ummm my aim is heroic bsod if you want anything. Though I work a lot so... maybe email's better. IDK. Do whatever.

[ex_cashcow493]

I'm a big fan of Merlin and finding myself slowly in love with the ME games. Soon enough.

Hush now Arthur. Let them just reminiscence over Merlin and his crazy antics. Speaaaaking of I should ask this first: does Arthur know of Merlin's sorcery? I don't want to cause a conflict with that, but she often refers to him as a warlock so I thought I'd ask before making that mistake.

[crymoore]

Whoo Saffy! I was told there was a Thrall here, but I didn't bother to stalk to see who it was. I wanted to be surprised and this is a pleasant one for sure!

I did want to play a later Jaina, just not one that's been... torn up due to questionable lore decisions. So it'll be fun to have these two interacting. I'm really excited to play off of your Thrall. If you want to hash out anything for the two of them, please let me know.

And yeah I understand the working thing. I tend to be stuck on overnights (10pm ~ 8am) so I might be impossible to get in touch with on AIM. I'll add you and keep an eye out if I have any questions!

[crymoore]

Oops, but hey at least it's better to watch that than to dig out that visual novel.

A pleasure to meet you Kage. We can both be newbies together. I'm all for crazy shenanigans, so I look forward to it just as well :)

[shamanism]

:DDDD i'm glad it's a pleasant one!

If I think of something I'll let you know.

That's fine-- I usually work days (since the store's only open like 8-8 anyway.) I'll PM you or email you if I need something.

[strategic_guile]

Haha, I'm a cheater. I never played the VN because my attention span is like, not there. No matter how many friends try to suck me in, my mind ~wanders off

[onemoredeath]

Hello there, I am Alec and this is not!Gackt Teijirou Takegami from the jdrama Mr. Brain which is about a neurologist that solves crimes. Takegami is a serial killer with a taste for human flesh, has slight control issues and is a huge flirt.

Welcome to the game!

[northrend]

i choked on my cheerios

[crymoore]

I can't stop making horrible jokes on behalf of her and this new book halp

[crymoore]

Thanks for the welcome, Alec.

I've never heard of that although I've been meaning to get into some jdramas lately. Do you think that would be a good one to start with?

[onemoredeath]

Well, if you like procedure cop-like shows, it is a fairly easy one to watch. It's about 8 episodes long and the characters are pretty easy to understand. The crimes aren't too weird or gross to watch although Gackt's killer does eat his fingers in one part.

I started off with a jmovie - Gackt's Moon Child in fact - and now am watching kdramas, although I can't wait for a couple new jdramas to show up. If you want to look at all the different ones, the site dramacrazy.net has hundreds of shows and movies to choose from.
