Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I’m Alex and I am dragging in Maelle from Because Grief: That French Game aka Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

✧˖°Me Things°˖✧
This is my first time trying DWRP in 10 years. Please be gentle. I am rusty.
Butttt!! I am excited to try to learn again and interact with you all. You are welcome to add me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] aleeeeeeex but be warned, I mostly ramble about RL Things and my ongoing gaming obsessions (Dune, Pax Dei, Clair.. etc.). If you don’t want to deal with the ramblings, just attack me on Discord @ alexceptionally c:

✧˖°Maelle Things°˖✧
Firstly, please don’t spoil yourself if you ever plan to play the game. Her canonpoint is one of the two endings. Please~ Take a looksee at this charming Spoiler Opt-Out Post if you want to avoid her like the plague. I won’t be offended, I promise.

I have added icons to the account that are spoiler heavy. But if anyone chimes in on the opt-out I will happily delete them (I did for the tdm, I’m cool with deleting them again)! So about Maelle...

Ending Spoilers Here
Maelle is a cocky, overconfident and sassy 16 year old.
Alicia is a shy, timid and extremely self-conscious 16 year old.
And both are the same character! I am playing her from Verso’s Ending where the canvas has been destroyed and she’s back in reality while all the canvas’s creations have been Gommaged for good. I’ve made a minor adjustment for her. Unlike the circumstances of her canonpoint, she will be able to speak thanks to the Aurora. Albeit, it sounds like raspy gasps and is quite painful, but she’s a trooper. She’ll be fine. Honestly, why no one in canon has figured out she could learn sign language is beyond me.

Despite all the shit she’s been through, she’s very unaccustomed to being on her own so anticipate her needing some hand holding. Especially in this kind of environment. There’s a lot working against her. This is me not so subtly saying Send Help.


Also just a big thank you to everyone who put up with me and the brat on the TDM. I tried to make sure to message people before tagging out because spoilers and everyone was really nice about it so thank you muchly c:

Welcome, Alex!

I actually tagged you very briefly with Gustave on the Somnia tdm before deciding Somnia wasn't for me, so happy to see you here in Sing! I'm Lorna and I play two wildly different Canadians: Wynonna Earp from Syfy's Wynonna Earp and Benton Fraser from the somewhat niche 1994 show Due South. Fraser is a Mountie and will want to be helpful to the newbie! Wynonna's kind of a dick and won't be as helpful, but has a soft spot for girls who are Important to the Narrative (she has a little sister).

Looking forward to seeing what you do with Alicia/Maelle in game!

omgoodness hiiiiiiiiii. Ya Somnia was ... too much. Especially for this childe. She's too gullible.

Glad I get to play with you here! I am unfamiliar with both of yours, I'm afraid. But I'm excited to throw her at both of them c:

Hi! I'm just seeing everyone below my own post because I went "oh, god, oh no, I took more than 30 seconds" and then forgot to refresh.

I'm also brand new to the game but wanted to say hi -- I came very close to tagging Maelle with Teddy here and decided maybe you had enough tags by the point I TL'd, lol.


Not sure if the first part is still a spoiler - the very end is tho
Teddy does actually know some sign language! It rarely comes up in RP so I forget to even put it anywhere as a skill (though if I had a nickel, etc -- they've been in game with Wrench from Fargo before and used it then). They aren't fluent the way someone who's Deaf and signs, or an interpreter, would be (or even especially close to that level), but they're still decent at it. They took it in school and continue to teach themselves (much more slow a process) to help communicate with certain folks at home who have job-related hearing loss. Teddy learned and passed it back down the line because that was the easiest way to do it, those resources didn't exist at home. So they're not unfamiliar with sharing what they know: mostly basic vocabulary (with some random holes, and some really, really over-specialized things they ...totally had to just look up.)
So, if you're interested in communication being a little easier and less painful intermittently, that could be a thing? Teddy also uses a different form of hand signing with their service dog, which, though it's not the same as ASL, is evident and could be an in.

Not at all a requirement, idk if Maelle is stubborn enough to not want that, but the comment made me think!

Teddy's about 10 years older, but I feel like she'd be concerned enough to be curious and also just kind of relate to being ...tbh both self-conscious and anxious, and acting cocky and overconfident, particularly as a teenager (with some quite obvious gaps in lived experience). Except for the cold she IS very used to being on her own and in a rural area, and is unlikely to treat Maelle like a kid; I'd be happy to throw these two at each other anyway for just ordinary survival. Or both of them being out of their league with weird shit happening, haha.


(I haven't played Clair Obscur -- tho the sheer influx of characters from it around places like Plurk and bakerstreet have definitely left an impression -- but tbh, at the rate I'm getting to any "to watch/read/play" stuff lately, I'm gonna say it's ...better to be spoiled than avoid CR and hope :P Some of my favorite video games (and fandoms generally) have come out of getting attached via RP, deciding I needed to get into the canon, and crying through scenes I knew were coming (*looks meaningfully at The Last of Us*).

ANYWAY THIS GOT LONG. Welcome! I'll friend you over on Plurk, I can be just as rambly about my own things so feel free to interact or not when and how you like! And if anything with RP is confusing - I feel like certain things acronyms, it's the acronyms have changed a bit in the last decade - feel free to hmu :D

HONESTLY that all sounds perfect and I can't wait. I'll certainly throw her at Teddy when the opportunity comes up if you don't throw Teddy at her first c:

And ya! Feel free to add me on plurk. I don't mind one bit~
