+1 infant death

hello friends i'm bobby and i'm upping the town's vampire count by one with claudia from interview with the vampire! claudia is an eternal 14-year-old who is in fact 36 and she's here to cause as much drama as possible. she just got here from plotting to murder her vampire dad with her other vampire dad, except now they're both in town and one of them is very much not dead, so. whoops??? she is a whole mess of contradictions: eternally a teenager 0.3 seconds away from a tantrum, an impulsive and blood-hungry monster, and equally a dangerously underestimated grown woman who can and will outthink you before you even know you've been outthunk. she learned from the best, after all!

i'm happy to continue TDM threads where possible — sorry to those waiting on replies, i decided i wanted to app so i wanted to wait until she was in the game to figure out how everything's going to turn out, but now i'm here i'm ready to get stuck in. feel free to shoot me an add crowders or find me in the discord server if you want to plot!

+1 House Husband

[khatsudoom]

... Who may or may not actually be something more, but that's probably won't be an issue to anyone any time soon!

Hi! I'm Basil and I've had a few false starts on the TDM for a while, but I finally found a good match-- with the hammy house husband from the McDonalds Reverse Isekai Anime, The Devil is a Part Timer!

Ashiya here, aka General Alciel and one on the villains from the fantasy world of Ente Isla, has been stuck in Japan for the last year as a 1500-something going on 20-something gentleman who cares way to much about his best friend, business partner, and literal demon king's career stability as a Legally Distinct McDonald's employee. He copes with this by spending hours in the library doing research on local magic and folklore (of which there is no actual magic that he can use,) and spending hours upon hours clipping coupons to stretch the Devil's coffers household budget as far as he can. This means being able to whip up a decent meal with tofu and cucumbers and generally taking everything way to seriously.

Feel free to add me on Plurk at woodrift at any time. I'm EST and generally available for a chat, and my tagging times tend to be in the later part of the day or evening.

This game looks so fun for this very loud disaster.

Howdy, it's Laus, formerly of Ken fame and now back with something completely different.

Scratch comes from the Remedy Connected Universe (specifically the Alan Wake games). He was created to take the place of some writer, but due to the nature of ~lore~, his creation was corrupted by rumours and public speculation of said writer. What remained was a happy-go-lucky sociopath with a penchant for murder, infected by a supernatural darkness, here to try to bring something even worse into the world.

We love to see it.

Basically, if you think American Pyscho meets Narcissist meets Supernatural Entity, you're pretty much on your way there. He's ready to not give a damn at all about anyone and really root for the Darkwalker.

You can read a little more on his application, and permissions can be found here. As a note, he's sincerely not a good person, so I've also got an optional opt-out post you can check as well. Feel free to add me up on discord and/or plurk~

Basil...

[khatsudoom]

Oh my God it's you.

[guidemyway]

You again!

[khatsudoom]

Absolutely-- with another dweeb in green who will cook food for Ruby!

Hello! I'm Dem and I'm bringing a grumpy tired dad lethal malewife tea enthusiast and humanity's strongest soldier, Levi Ackerman from Attack On Titan. He's an ex-thug who became a captain in a military branch called Survey Corps (or Scouting Legion depending on translation) and an expert at trekking hostile territories and dispatching giant monsters using the series' signature "3D Maneuver Gear". Which he actually has on him! It doesn't work here though (for now)! Too bad.

Most of his life has been a struggle in one way or another, which he doesn't tend to talk much about, but it's left its mark on him in a variety of ways, from his inability to sleep for more than three hours at a time and being quick-witted on his feet, to his unsettling sense of (shitty) humor and his neurotic cleaning tendencies. He excudes tired old man vibes, even though he's not actually that old (estimating about 36, a year give or take, in canonpoint - exact unknown). He often comes off as abrasive, stoic and rude, though he's actually just kind of awkward at socializing (being raised by a serial killer will do that), and he's really got a heart of gold. He hates senseless casualties and does his best to avoid them, but he's not above dirtying his hands (literally or figuratively) if he deems it necessary.

He's also a whopping 160cm height (~5'3) which is something of a sore spot for him. Don't let that fool you though, he's strong (lowkey built like a brick shithouse, though it's not immediately obvious) and can handle himself in a fight. He might need help reaching those top shelves though.

I'm happy to continue TDM threads and accept them (or parts of them, if several prompts overlap) as game canon!
You can ping me in the game's discord, PM me, or find me on Plurk at jigglyballs for plotting. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

Hey!! I'm gabbie, finally bringing y'all another frigid uptight lieutenant from THEE doomed discovery voyage to the arctic... no I'm just kidding, it's sadly one of a disturbing many, but you know, That One. John Irving is a pious repressed evangelical who should have bewared the ides of March is very good at math and moralizing but not especially great at commanding authority or respect in his actual job; the kind of man who points out the ship's critical food shortage and imminent need for stricter rations but allows his captain to just brush him off, or runs to intervene with a murder while holding a gun but never thinks to actually use it. You know the kind. Decent at heart though, really, if you can describe any Victorian sailors as such. (Arguable.)

Happy to keep TDM threads going, and feel free to add me @ reggiemantle, and also check out his application / permissions if you so desire! AMC's The Terror obviously takes a few liberties with the actual history, and therefore so too shall I, although the lost Franklin Expedition and John Irving are both quite real. I supplement here and there with history and book canon where gaps need filling, but only with details that don't/won't contradict the events of the show specifically. His info page is still a work in progress, but we're getting there...

+1 science nerd

info | permissions

hello, everyone! i'm batty and i bring you senku ishigami from dr. stone. senku here is Extremely Passionate about science, has never met a challenge he wasn't ready to tackle head-on, and is the kind of normal and hinged person who reacts to being suddenly and inexplicably turned to stone by counting the seconds for 3700 years until he could break free without ever stopping or losing track, then immediately setting out to try to restore civilization by himself with only stone age tools at his disposal.

senku's the sort of guy who's great to have in your corner because he never gives up when he sets his mind to something, but you're also going to be trapped in so many science rambles. this is inescapable. he is also absolutely goddamn terrible at vulnerability of any kind and going to repress the shit out of his feelings about being forced to p. much start all over again a second time without his friends. there's Mysteries to Solve and problems to fix here, no time for little things like sadness to get in the way.

feel free to hit me up on plurk at goodluckmodes or in the game discord for chats or plotting, i'm excited to thread with everyone!

[friendsfordinner]

✨️ bestie ✨️

Man's worst urges are being satisfied by Hickey and Billy shacking up together, sorry dude

But yessssss! I'm so stoked to see Irving here and can't wait for that poor dude to have a few more existential crises about it all

+1 old nerd

[readytosee]

Hello folks! I'm Mimi, I bring you Dr. Casper Darling, from the Control/Alan Wake games, aka the Remedy Connected Universe! He is a paranatural scientist and Head of Research at the Federal Bureau of Control, which means he researches the spooky stuff for an even spookier government agency. He loves all things weird and wild, but specializes in alternate dimensions and psychic abilities (though he doesn't possess any such abilities, himself). He also has a pretty extensive background in mycology, so maybe he can help you find mushrooms?

I'm up for all sorts of CR, both positive and negative. Casper is a very curious sort, so he'll be exploring around and trying to solve things. Or at least collect more data on the whole situation.

I'd love to continue TDM threads, I will backtag into eternity, and I'm super happy to count any/all as game canon! hmu at wherethefigslie or via PM for plotty things. Look forward to plotting with you all!

[extramuralise]

SO MANY EXISTENTIAL CRISES ARE IMMINENT. so many. I can't wait either and also to see how (????) their dynamic evolves further (or devolves...) in this new (well relatively speaking) environment!! so much, uh, POTENTIAL? if only for chaos maybe but we still love to see it.

[obscurissime]

whomst

[readytosee]

wow don't be rude plz :\

[goingtobeunwell]

Hell yeah, hi Laus! He sounds SUPER FUN

[goingtobeunwell]

Well hey there! Love your Irving, super stoked to RP with you! (Really excited that we almost have the whole collection of dysfunctional Terror officers)

We can totally keep going in the TMD and just carry it onto another thread, or start fresh with a new interaction. I’m up for whatever! C:

[guidemyway]

Can't believe that Ruby is an inch taller than Levi. I'm dying.

Hello! I'm Josh and I play Ruby Rose from RWBY. She's also from a terrifying nightmare world infested with monsters.

Looking forward to more with the two of these two.

[extramuralise]

LOVING your Crozier too, SO excited to see how their dynamic plays out from here!! c: And I'm up for whatever as well, which is unhelpful I know, lol, but I'm good to at least keep their thread going a bit longer and we can see how much can be salvaged/moved into a new thread in-game? Whatever ends up working best!!

[fidior]

Hello again, I'm excited to see you back in game!! And what a fun character to have in Milton, looking forward to seeing Claudia inevitably torment some folks ~♡ I definitely need to toss poor Ned at her sometime, can you imagine.... (Hilariously, he's familiar with both of her Dads, has ZERO idea either of them are vampires, trusts them very much, and thinks they both have Extremely Good Characters.... Him just someday getting like gruesomely killed by Lestat and no one would be surprised)

But the mental image of Edward Little attempting to nanny this not-child is so funny.... The way she could 10/10 manipulate the shit out of him if she ever needed to!!

[obscurissime]

wow im the nicest person

[obscurissime]

flings self at you

He is VERY fun, I cannot wait for him to show everyone how fun he is

[fidior]

Hello hello, Jhey here (aka the Peter Graham player from Deerington/Deer Country), it's great to bump into you again, and welcome to the game! ♡

Keeping my trend, I have two horror guys here: Edward Little from The Terror (a Victorian naval officer from the doomed Franklin Expedition) and Konstantin Veshnyakov from the movie Sputnik (a cosmonaut from the 80's who ended up infested with an alien parasite).... so fun times all the way around.... :') I look forward to doing things with your guy here!

[fidior]

Hello hello, welcome back! ♡ I'm canonblind but laughing so hard at how different ur new guy is from Ken, he sounds like a delight and not a menace at all :D Can't wait to do some fun normal things with him!

[obscurissime]

Cheryl didn't give me a beach so she turned me into a villain!!!

Yes he will have totally fun normal things to do with all ✨ I'm very excited to be back though fr fr
