ACTIVITY CHECK

[kismet_loop_mods]

*~*~*~ACTIVITY CHECK!~*~*~*

<b>Character:</b> <br /><b>Activity Summary:</b> (This can be as long or short as you like, in paragraph form, bullet list, whatever you prefer. This just gives us - and you - a reference for what your character has been up to.)

AC RULES:

++ Copy/paste and fill out the above textbox in a comment to this post. You may comment once for all of your characters or make separate comments for each, as you choose.
++ This check is for activity spanning from FEBRUARY 1 to MARCH 31.
++ You will need only an Activity Summary for each character in-game. (See below for details.)
++ Characters accepted within the last two weeks are not required to provide an AC Summary. They will, however, be expected to check in now and to provide AC starting with the next check.
++ You have one week from the date of this posting to submit AC for all of your characters.


ACTIVITY SUMMARY:
An activity summary consists of a small paragraph explaining what your character has been up to since the previous Activity Check (or since arriving in the game if you are new). This can be as simple or as detailed as you would like! At the minimum, be sure to hit any events your character has participated in (either game events or character plots) and where they're currently residing. If you'd like to get more detailed (such as drawing up CR charts, mentioning what Guardian they've talked with, or adding links) we're not going to stop you, as this will make a handy future reference for you as well as for us!

The activity summary will help the mods in determining future Guardian plans or interactions for your characters, and especially will keep us from missing anything important about your character. In no way will your activity summary have any effect on you passing or failing activity check, unless it is completely absent. In other words, doing the minimum on this won't hurt you, although going above and beyond can certainly help!

EXCLUSIONS AND EXEMPTIONS:
All characters are expected to participate in an Activity Check. If a character has been in the game for two weeks or more, he/she must have an Activity Summary. Anyone who arrived the last two weeks won't be expected to provide a summary for AC, but they must at least check in so we know they are present and consider themselves active in the game, even if they don't have "enough" activity yet to show of it.

As no activity samples are necessary, there will be no exemptions. However, if you have posted a hiatus of 2 weeks or longer to the official hiatus page during the week of Activity Check, we will check in with you at the posted end of your hiatus.

FAILING ACTIVITY CHECK
If you fail to post to an Activity Check within the week that it is open and you have not contacted the mods beforehand, then any characters not posted will be dropped from the game. The mods will put up a list of characters in danger of being dropped at the end of Activity Check, at which point you (the character's player) will have three days to contact the mods and provide AC and an explanation for failing it. After those three days have passed, the drops will be official, and the characters will be removed from the Taken list and Player Contact page.

Character: Deckard
Activity Summary: Mostly just derping around when he's not been on active duty with the police force. Struggling between wanting to check in with and hang out with friends...and not wanting to bother them. So he's mostly just been keeping busy. He managed to dodge any ill effects from either the Valentine cards or the Patty's goodies, though having Lea profess to loving him - even though they both knew it was probably Miasma-driven - was kind of weird. Later spent some time with Lea after Elsa's disappearance.

Character: Thundercracker
Activity Summary: If only for something to do, he's also joined the police force again now, providing one more unit of aerial reconn and whatever else they might need. He too spent some time with his friend Lea after Elsa's disappearance. Most recently, he found a robot leprechaun . . . boy, he's going to wish he hadn't.

Character: Jendayi
Activity Summary: Been getting to know her new home, make new friends, and getting to know her new Papa guardian better.

Character: Wing
Activity Summary: Derping around with Drift and checking out the new place. Gotta prepare for any threats Unicron might throw at them, yeah?

Character: Breakdown
Activity Summary: Getting used to the place. He's found a place to settle, and has recently found Knock Out has arrived. He'll be getting a rude awakening soon when his partner turns out to ah...not actually be Knock Out.

Character:Lea
Activity Summary: Lea's had... a somewhat rough time recently. Among other things, he wound up temporarily falling in love with Deckard thanks to the enchanted Valentines cards. That was awkward, but doable. Then Elsa disappeared, sent back home. That was... less doable. But with some help from his friends, he made it through. Now he's nibbled some miasma-left skittles, so we'll see how that goes...

Character: Jadewing
Activity Summary:Jadewing has mostly been derping around, hanging out with Thundercracker and occasionally Sam, and trying to keep Dirge from doing anything too stupid. Dirge being Dirge, the latter is rather difficult, but hey, he's trying! Plus vague plans are in the works for a movie night, courtesy of Sam...

[10_20_15_5_50]

Character: Sam
Activity Summary: Following the rain of cards on Valentine's Day, Sam discovered Breakdown has a more than passing acquaintance with Earth entertainment, confirmed (via Breakdown) that there were no known cases of organics left grotesque lumps of living tissue following a groundbridge malfunction, only explosions, and learned Cybertronian lifespans are just ridiculous. She spent some quality time with Raiden placing a little toy dinosaur in various strange spots around Haven, as they'd attached directions for whoever found it to deliver the dino "home" to a drop-point; so far, so good, since more Havenites seem pretty sporting. Following Predaking's disappearance, and Elsa's return home, she's tooled around with her message-sending ritual, and spent some time in the library doing what she used to do a lot as a kid---browse occult topics for material echoing her own experience with the hope of finding something useful.

She spoke with Acid Storm upon his arrival, and found him pretty pleasant to talk to. They've agreed that they ought to meet up for a good chat once the dude's somewhat more settled.

She still remains unmurdered. That's also important, especially as (in the aftermath of meeting up with Wing and Hiro, and offering the latter a place to crash in her apartment) she and her new houseguest crossed paths with Dirge while out to take some supplies from the Warehouse. Everything went better than it could've even if Dirge outed her as an adept not long after that encounter.

Fought a blender, watched her toaster die, rechristened the kitchen. Since Hiro's efforts to equip the apartment with some security tied into these events, the topic of some sort of ward for the apartment has been broached, and so she intends to talk to Rathan.

Breakdown introduced her to what both believe to be Knock Out, and with or without an additional interested party, she intends to arrange a showing of Tremors, since she did tell Jadewing she'd show him a good horror if she ever had the opportunity. Her efforts to make good on this have contributed to her meeting Thundercracker, also.

[diagnosispuberty]

Character: Hiro
Activity Summary: This month, Hiro has:

Appeared in Cybertron (totally against his will tyvm).

Gotten chased by a malevolent space pig and ended up in a tree.

Been rescued by Wing and Sam, almost simultaneously.

Entertained and then dismissed the theory that this is all a dream/a curse/an elaborate space version of the Hunger Games/the result of too much late-night pizza.

Taken Sam up on her offer to crash at her place.

Made himself right at home by weaponizing the blender and setting the toaster on fire.

Indicated that the security at Casa de Samada is lacking, and offering his tech know-how in the service of fixing that.

Quietly geeked out over Dirge's gross purple tongue.

Learned SO MUCH about Canada.

[dirge]

Character: Dirge
Activity Summary: Dirge learned the care and keeping of tomatoes from Sam, having been told they were much better for farming than humans. On account of reading a magic Valentine's day card, Dirge fell in 'love' with Jendayi in the only way he can. Possessvily. Fortunately she convinced him that her value and well being depended on her not being put in a cage somewhere. Dirge also encountered Flonne, who vowed to find a way for him to feel real love and friendship and also described some demons that reminded Dirge of Decepticons. He also met a human that had no idea he could eat or even had a throat-- to which he demonstrated his long nasty tongue. For the St Patrick's day event, Dirge found a pot of gold, ate about half of it, and caught a leprechaun that granted him his wish.... which was for more arms. Because Dirge. He also successfully begged some gold paint off of Jadewing.

And because I've decided I want to do this because its funny-- A list of all the things Dirge has learned here so far:

(This one is long since I'm including things from the last AC.)

Your word is worthless once broken. Word gradually increases in value
with proof of trustworthiness.

Acquaintance is being 'practice friends.'

Life is valuable because it is finite.

Friends are valuable and want to give you things.

Tomatoes are good for farming.

Happy people make better friends.

Friends don't belong to one another, they belong with one another.

Comm drones and comm drone parts are not valuable.

One must help friends and keep them safe.

Tael'ip means 'odd one'.

Just claiming something doesn't make it yours.

Farming humans is not worth it.

Eating someone only gives you their body, not their spirit.

Fledgling means an inexperienced seeker.

Witches won't let you murder people.

Friends are good for your paint job.

Tiny humans that speak weird give wishes.

The end of colored light bows have pots of gold at the end.

Experiencing love does not involve killing anyone. (But beating them up is okay).

Character: Drift

Activity Summary: Mostly being a pain in Wing's ass. He's redecorated their place like seven times, taken up weird hobbies that he's immediately dropped like a week later, painted himself blue, then orange, then white again because why the fuck not. He's going absolutely bugnuts stir crazy and he clearly needs to get the fuck out more.

Character: Gunmax

Activity Summary: Fuckin Gunmax got himself locked in a broom closet and passed out for two months because he somehow managed to run dangerously low on fuel. He very well could still be in there. It's not like he ever does his paperwork anyway.

[backgroundseeker]

Character: Acid Storm
Activity Summary: Getting himself acclimated to this strange new Cybertron. He still has little to no clue as to what he should do here, or why he was brought here. He'll probably sort that out once he stops worrying about those he left back home. Also very glad that everyone is p. friendly so far, and glad that at least Thundercracker is around, so he isn't TOTALLY alone. Also can't wait to get to know the organics more!
