ACTIVITY CHECK
SUBMISSION INFO

    Activity Check consists of 20 comments between 2-3 threads. Furthermore, we will be asking for social link submissions.

    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:
    • 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).

    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!

Final Month

Sunrise has been taking things as they come here and rolling with them, but initially with the assumption that it'll be business as usual when she goes back home. She still has unfinished business there, and since she understands herself to be unnatural and grotesque, as well as a source of unhappiness, regret and fear just by existing, she figured once all was said and done the right thing to do would be to return to the grave—she is, in some sense, an executor of someone's final will.

But being here without her usual support network has forced her to do the most talking she's ever had to do for herself. She's able to form more normal relationships that show her people caring about what she has to say is...well, normal. She finally kind of understands why the troupe back home celebrate small successes like her expressing preferences. Most importantly, people have told her she's kind and loving, which are not things she's ever really thought of herself as. And they've even been receptive to gestures of affection from her, which is a big deal since Sunrise is affection-starved and has limited experience with giving and receiving it.

She also now has to grapple with the notion that people...will miss her...if she's gone. It seems kind of silly that she did not consider this logic sooner, but she had believed that her dying wasn't just inevitable but natural law! But now, some people will be saddened by this. More importantly, she actively wants to be able to spend more time with her friends, and in one person's case doesn't want to leave him alone for as long as she's able to. Even if it means going off to another world and tying her very being to them.

tl;dr Sunrise knows how to use her words a little better, has become aware that she can love and be loved, is actively trying to choose to live, and wants to make someone else her new purpose. She is slightly more of a person than she was at the start.
