ACTIVITY CHECK
SUBMISSION INFO
- Activity Check consists of 20 comments between 2-3 threads. Furthermore, we will be asking for social link submissions.
- If you submit 2 social link write ups, you will receive a reward from our character regains pool.
- If you submit 3+ social link write ups, you will receive either a Magic Ointment (forms a barrier that reflects all magic spells once) or a Physical Ointment (forms a barrier that reflects all physical attacks once).
Social link submissions are essentially a short writeup; please choose, at minimum, 2 pieces of CR in which your character has experienced some sort of shift in. By "shift", we mean anything as small as "my character now likes hanging out with A" to something more dramatic like "my character trusts A with their life". Negative shifts are also welcome! Just as long as something in your chosen pieces of CR has changed.
For September:
Keep writeups to no more than 4 sentences.
AC is due on the last day of each month. We will not be issuing official reminders, and those who fail to make AC will be swept.
Please follow the example in the comments on how to submit your activity!

September!
Thread 1: Thread with Eli (#13+ comments)
Thread 2: Thread with Izou (#25+ comments)
Social Link Section:
Izou - This dynamic is ground zero of McGillis trying to renegotiate his view on relationships as a whole. It's through Izou that he wants to prove that bonds will never make him stronger, while at the same time the possibility that someone could get close to him is somewhat tantalizing. There is so much projection with their respective betrayal situations going on here, it's not even funny. The real challenge here is going to be fully seeing and respecting each other as their own individuals, but we're not there yet.
Celeste - Who doesn't love some good old-fashioned recognition of the self in the other? Celeste is as close to a mirror as McGillis will ever find - their personal priorities may be different, but their traumas and emotional coping mechanisms are extremely similar. It makes Celeste someone with immense power to hurt him, but also someone he is tentatively at ease around. It feels good to not have to put effort into hiding.
Eli has firmly lodged himself in McGillis' social circle since Izou's palace. He might be the closest thing McGillis has to a normal 'friend' in this place, though he himself would never use that word. After Eli's mild reaction to the stabbing incident and Eli's general willingness to accommodate on the nickname issue, he's gained a measure of trust from McGillis. He's willing to be comfortable around him now.
