ACTIVITY CHECK

[kismet_loop_mods]

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

<b>Character:</b> <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 APRIL 1 to MAY 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.

[notyourblueangel]

Character: Thundercracker
Activity Summary: Mostly been keeping to himself (well, himself and his fire lizards), has recently joined the police force here mostly for aerial reconn patrols as well as keeping an optic on the borders and dealing with monsters that cross before they can threaten the city. He found a mechanical toy leprechaun, wound up carrying the silly thing everywhere - no, he couldn't say why - until it suddenly turned on him. Violently. By the time that battle was over, he and a few friends (Jadewing, Breakdown, and Bulkhead) had so thoroughly trashed his living quarters that the whole building had to be temporarily closed down for structural integrity assessment and renovation. Since then, he's attended his first outdoor movie theater (OR WILL as soon as his player gets off her ass), and is currently dealing with a very insistent and very transparent Starscream and Skywarp.

Character: Deckard
Activity Summary: Has been reclaimed by the Miasma.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Character: Wing
Activity Summary: After the fiasco with his touch turning things to gold he's been doing one of a few things at any given time. He's either been checking in on friends, hanging out with Drift, or has dragged Drift out to explore more of Haven, and see if they can't find some way to beat back the Miasma a bit.

Character: Breakdown
Activity Summary: It's been kind of a stressful couple months for him. First his partner showed up, only to end up not actually being his partner. And so he kill the fake. Only for his partner to show up again. For real this time, thank Primus!! He's been hanging out with Knock Out and just enjoying the fact that his partner is here.

Character: Jendayi
Activity Summary: She's been learning stuff from Lea. Hopefully hiss teaching has included basic school work and not just magic. She's explored a little too, though has been pretty careful not to get too far. She's feeling decidedly homesick (AND WORRIED), what with being haunted by a ghost of her papa recently.

[akito]

Character: Akito
Activity Summary: just been adjusting to his newfound freedom, skills, and enjoying slowly making friends! Also mildly traumatized from the ghosts, but recovering well. Overall, pretty good! :P

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Character: Knock Out
Activity Summary: Knock Out's mostly been exploring when he isn't clinging to Breakdown or making new little buddies. And freaking out about ghosts regardless of the fact that he hadn't actually run into one personally. What a whiner.

Character: Drift
Activity Summary: Aside from letting Wing drag him around, Drift's been spending a lot of time keeping to himself. Super exciting, right?

Character: Gunmax
Activity Summary: Seeing as Deckard's kinda gone he's actually been doing more cop stuff (when he isn't y'know watching movies and shit). Also kind of keeping to himself though because he's a shitbaby who can't deal with FEELINGS.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Character: Lea
Summary: Lea had been having a fairly easy time of it. The worst he got from the miasma's April Fools pranks was a tendency to leave a trail of candy behind him, and when it was over he got around to starting to give Jendayi some magic lessons. He even met a new friend, Akito. Then the ghosts showed up. Oi...

Character: Jadewing
Summary: Jadewing met Jendayi, helped Dirge a lesson about eating too much gold and being suspicious of deals that were too good to be true, and much to his irritation, reenacted the myth of King Midas (sort of). He also helped Sam build an outdoor movie theater.And after Dirge's attempted melting of Sam, plans to give the winglet a piece of his mind...

[10_20_15_5_50]

Character: Samantha Patchowski
Activity Summary: Despite making terrible puns at Dirge and his rebelling extra arms, Sam made it through the April Fool's event without incident. In the aftermath, she talked to Breakdown about the fake Knock Out, the fate of the fake Knock Out, and possibly verifying apparent arrivals through aura sight, which was a good call what with the real Knock Out appearing not very long after. Confirmed she was a witch (of sorts) to Hiro, met Akito, and finally got an outdoor theatre together with help from Hiro, Wheeljack, Jadewing, and Irja. The theatre's opening night was a success, with a good turnout and nobody bored. Hauntings came after---Sam mostly gave advice and listened to her phone freak out.

Who was phone? Nobody knows.

Once the ghosts were gone, a newly-jaded Dirge decided he could deal with one and tried to melt Sam. She's since set out to make him sorry, and has begun by witching away his ability to taste.

[dirge]

Character: Dirge.
Activity Summary: Dirge caught a leprechaun during the St. Patrick's day event and, being not so good at making decisions on the fly, wished for a another pair of arms. Which were great until April Fool's day had them going haywire. His other bad decision involved eating a lot of gold, which is kind of like candy for a robot- making loading up on it exclusively a really painful venture. Dirge was then haunted by three ghosts of Christmas past ghosts for a week: An angry bird lady that had been sucked into his engines on another planet, his disappointed template Starscream, and the Sam Witch.

From this adventure, Dirge learned that one apparently did not need an exorcist to get rid of ghosts, but to merely do what they asked. The bird lady merely wanted an apology, Starscream wanted.... well, something he did not get, and the Sam Witch dared to ask him to relinquish his claim on the warehouse. Dirge has done this, but not actually announced it yet- or moved out for that matter. SOON.

A fly-by melting of the real Sam was unsuccessful and resulted in getting beat down by Breakdown and lectured by Wing (who at least patched him up.)

DIRGE LEARNS THIS AC:

Water will not melt the Sam Witch.

Wishing for extra arms is a bad idea.

Eating too much gold makes you sick.

Death cannot force ghosts to leave.

Doing what a ghost asks, however, can make it leave.

Extra arms hate puns and possibly tomatoes.

[neverputincharge]

Character: Bulkhead
Activity Summary: He helped TC and others kill a leprechaun, got annoyed by Knock Out showing up with no memories, cause life just sucks for him. :( Went to see a movie, and then got weirded out by Ghosts showing up all over the place.

Otherwise, just doing work.

[diagnosispuberty]

Character: Hiro Hamada
Activity Summary: Hiro's just been hanging out mostly -- settling in more (and baking cookies/learning about being a witch) with Sam, befriending Akito, helping build an outdoor theater space aaaand offering to blow up Dirge for hurting Sam.

He was also haunted during the Ghost event by his big brother, but he kept that a very careful secret. :c
