Greetings and welcome to The Shimmer! We hope you're excited for horror and the pleasant experience of bonding with your fellow explorers! But before we head off into what definitely isn't certain doom, let's get to know each other!

Feel free to use this post to introduce yourselves as players and the wonderful characters you're bringing in for this adventure! Gush about your canons, your characters, how much everyone is going to suffer, whatever! You can leave your contact information as well, so everyone can stay up to date on what their expedition buddies are up to!

It also might be prudent to get to know your factionmates and sort out what your characters have been up to, if anything! This is not required, but it's definitely something you can do if you so choose!

Welcome to the game and have fun, the Shimmer awaits.

this is literally the only gif that matters so i'll just keep using it

SUP GUYS IT'S YA GIRL, ASHLEY, BRINGING A CHARACTER NO ONE KNOWS UNLESS YOU'VE HEARD OF THAT ONE SHITTY ANIME MAYOIGA: THE LOST VILLAGE

This is Koharu Kamiyama, known exclusively there by her online handle of Koharun, because she's incredibly creative and Mayoiga just be like that. It's about a group of strangers who are fed up with life and join a Life Do-Over Tour to Nanaki Village, a place that's said to be untraceable and where you can live in peace! You may think you've heard this plot before in a thousand horror movies but nothing goes as expected and it's a wild ride for all the reasons you never could've thought of.

Also the pacing is whack, the characters are numerous, and half of it was fucking crowdfunded. They tried so hard, guys. So hard. As you can probably imagine, I love this anime, likely more than it deserves, and I have watched it too many times.

Anywho. Koharu (oh god it's gonna be hard to remember to write her name without the n) is the graduate student who knows the most about Nanaki Village, as she's been researching it for many years, and has a habit of singing creepy folk songs with no warning like this is just a thing you do. She's actually pretty friendly besides that, though, and she has a relatively good read on people in general! Something about being naturally attuned to the emotions of others, and studying psychology for several years surely didn't hurt.

She's here as a researcher, which is quite perfect for her since that's just what she does all the time anyway! She was brought in by a third party, and in the time since they arrived here, she's probably been trying to make people get along, even though she seems somewhat disconnected from it all? She's cagey about her circumstances, if asked, saying this interests her from a sociological perspective, and also there are some people she'd like to bring some conclusive evidence back to. Evidence of what, Koharu? Of whatever they can find!

A very smiley person overall. Determined but a little flippant about herself. This is gonna be wonderful, absolutely.

I can be reached at kabunevermind, or ashriel#6058 on Discord. Super excited to play with y'all!

oho!! hey ashley, been a while! as predicted ive never heard of the anime or character but your characters are always great and cr with you is absolutely lovely!

i have no idea what kind of cr were gonna get but im looking forward to it anyway

[folklored]

hey there!! yeah, it's bound to be a wild time, especially since if he mentions being a daemon she's gonna immediately start questioning him. if he has in the time they've been training, expect a lot of that lmao

[stepfording]

oh hey, fellow disconnected peacekeeper teammate

god i know absolutely nothing about koharu but she sounds like a fucking delight, i am so excited to see her in action tbh

[folklored]

disconnected?? no idea what you're talking about, she's just a friendly gal :) probably very encouraging to eric whenever he hecks up training!!

honestly i'd be surprised if anyone DID know something about her pshh.

[stepfording]

of course! silly me, how could i think otherwise :)

but god, he's probably appreciate that a ton tbh. he'd probably help her out with stuff too if she needs it, he's done stupider things in the name of #helping before so if she does, it probably won't ever be the weirdest thing (hopefully)

THAT'S FAIR i think i have. literally only seen that gif out of context. but she sounds like a Time

[folklored]

spoilers, it's not really that different from how it appears in-context because that's just how she do

she'll probably wave off his help initially, but accept it with much thanks, what a sweetheart :)

[abysstery]

Ashley!! I'm excited to get to play with you again! c:

I actually do know of Mayoiga because of Cartesio. Although not a ton...just that it seems like quite the rollercoaster lol. But from what I'm gathering here, Heinwald would definitely be here for the random creepy folk songs or whatever else Koharu feels like sharing about her research. He's totally here for all that weird and creepy shit.

[folklored]

HA yeah, the only other mayoiga person in dwrp was there. it's always surreal that someone else knows it!

ohhh good, i look forward to it!! i don't know anything of dragalia lost, so we're both flying pretty blind, but sometimes that's the best kind of cr

[abysstery]

Exactly! Learning about other canons through games like this is really fun. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

[reaperscurse]

Ashley, I am so excited to see this girl go after reading the app oh my god. I have no idea how our cr will go but I am SO EXCITED....

[folklored]

aww SHUCKS well i'm glad to get you interested, hehe, she's a fun character!! i also have no idea but let's fuckin GO FOR IT, i'm ready for a wild ride

[reaperscurse]

I'M SO HERE FOR IT, can't wait to see where we end up this time!!!
