CHARACTER NAME: Valentine
POST: 08/11 #54 comments
THREAD #2: 08/05 #5 comments

SHOW OF ENGAGEMENT: Valentine started out the month by examining her jelly shrooms sample. During this time she heard and saw the log of the drone in the void, and thought that maybe joining in the dreams was something she should finally look into. For the time being, though, she kept focused on her reaper project by suggesting the audio blast to Dirk. Her main focus this month was blood testing, starting with Hajime and moving on to her telepathic message. From there, she was fairly absent apart from greeting a few newcomers until her final summary and break time about the illness.


CHARACTER NAME: Napstablook
THREAD #1: 08/07 # 45 comments
THREAD #2: 05/08 #11 comments

SHOW OF ENGAGEMENT: Napstablook attempted to understand troll romance and was scared off by Karkat who was being Karkat mean to them. This did lead to Chara asking them to be their moirail so... that happened? Either way they focused on bringing sick people soup during the hurricane, or laying around and looking at information about fish - primarily rabbitrays. Later, they greeted some newcomers, and then a few more. They also suggested a totally not familiar form for URSULA, and then finally asked for help in building a farm space for fish.

Taking a strike.

[splasher]

taking a strike for both makoto splasher and shiro uncorrupts...

[subnauticmods]

Hello! We think that we should inform you that we are pretty sure that you've made enough AC for the both of them this month, so you shouldn't have to take the strike.

[onethousen]

/raises hand, so if we totally forgot to read back far enough check in for AC when new in August, should we... wait to do so for the AC roundup/results post, or... lie down here with our faces in our hands.

... I ask as that's what I am doing.

Only with my face in a keyboard.

[subnauticmods]

It's perfectly okay to check in here if we haven't gotten the post up yet! Which as you can see we're late to doing and we apologize for that! We'll have it up soon.

[onethousen]

Hah, nothing to apologise for. I just realised last night "wow I thought I would have seen AC" and then realised it was there... I just hadn't seen it when looking at the OOC comm between all the flashier things!

I'll check in formally in the not-questions part, thank you guys so much!
