EMP & ATP 005 ● MAY 2026

ATP&EMP


α›—
Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's fifth ATP & EMP Meme! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THIS APP ROUND: With September marking the start of the game's second arc, there will be a setting shift and thus we'll be skipping a TDM/app round for that month to better situate our current players. With that said, our next app round after this one will only being in October, so I've decided to uncap the game and thus the number of apps coming in this round and going forward (at least until where I feel like I can handle it).

IN SUMMARY, If you have interest in apping, now might be a good time if you do not wish to wait three months for the next round, or risk the game getting capped again!



Dates to note are as follows:
- EVENT/TDM: June 1st
- RESERVES: June 12th
- APPS: June 19th - 24th
An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Current players may extend their invites, and if you don't know anyone in the game, the mod will make a decision to send an invite (note that this does not guarantee one). Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either— only to reserve and app.

Use the forms below to show us those pretty white jaws!

α›— PLAYER
Name: Silvie
Contact: relares @ discord or PM! i plan to make an rp specifically for plurk, but it's not set up yet.

α›— CHARACTER
Name: Shang Qinghua aka Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky aka Xiang Fei
Canon: Scum Villain Self-Saving System
Brief Info: I Can't Believe My Love For Cup Noodles Killed Me, Causing Me To Reincarnate Into My Own Shitty Stallion Novel?!

airplane contains multitudes. he's a former author of a sloppy web novel with an insane writing schedule of 10,000 words per day, current immortal master toiling thanklessly in the background OF said novel to take care of every boring background detail he didn't bother to write about. he's been living in his own novel for longer than he was alive in his first life. he's a self-centered coward who can cry on command and prefers to play dead in fights. if you ask him how to woo a man, he'll say with his whole chest that the best strategy is to be pathetic and clingy. he's known how everyone around him (including himself!!) is going to die since the infancy of his second life, which did some very normal things to his already super regular ability to form relationships. he's an extremely funny guy who if you spend, like, 30 seconds considering his circumstances has Really Been Through It.

but it's ok. he stays silly.

Vessel Type & General ideas: i'm planning to go for trickster! i love that it's got a sneaky, non-combative skillset and that it's got built in identity messiness, perfect for a guy whose personal identity is very messy between the various roles he's played at between his two lives. i also love the vulnerability to truth-telling magic and being bound by oaths, given his dishonest and slippery nature. on a similar note, i'm really interested in playing around with the dichotomy between the waking world and the dreamscape; i think it'd be super fun if he resembled shang qinghua in one space and xiang fei in the other, since canonically they look pretty much Nothing alike. i'm also really excited to play around with tethering, since he's SO allergic to emotional intimacy and letting people close in canon.

in terms of stuff he can bring to the game... he can cook!! he can clean!! he can mend your clothes!!!! he can even give you (not very good) romantic advice!!!!! he can write pornography of dubious quality!!!!! in all sincerity he actually has a very wide and varied skillset that touches base on basically Any area of logistics you can think of... most of which probably aren't applicable due to the apocalytic nature of the setting...

he's got a wide and varied skillset that touches base on a number of areas of logistics, most of which probably aren't applicable due to the apocalyptic nature of the setting... but please be nice to him, he can be very useful!!!!! (you don't have to be nice to him. absolutely bully this nerd.)

[personal profile] hackauthor 2026-05-15 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
it's him... the author god himself... once again hoisted by his own petard...

glad to see someone familiar with the character! scum villain is a bit of a mess but i'm deeply fond of it, haha.

it's the only way to get through the horrors tbh......

i'm not familiar with supernatural disaster management bureau, but from what i'm seeing on your information posts it looks really interesting! the concept of a governmental agency trying to manage various supernatural nonsense is always a fun and crunchy one.

He can mend clothes — sold, the army of underpaid teenagers has been slacking, time for fresh labour force.
hackauthor: (do you have faith? are you an atheist?)

[personal profile] hackauthor 2026-05-15 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
ABSOLUTELY put him to work. he will probably mutter mutinously under his breath the whole time but he is actually incredibly efficient at it. bonus of getting stuck fixing your secret demon boss' messed upclothes when he crashes at your place after getting into trouble: you get Really good at laundry and mending
hallowedly: (denouement)

Man, he is an experienced acolyte.

if there's a menial chore that exists... shang qinghua has probably done it, haha! both for a sect and for spoiled demon princes. that feel when you're fourth out of twelve in ranking of leadership, but get zero respect in the sect bc your peak is in charge of a bunch of boring busywork[1]

[1] THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DEAL WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE AS A WRITER!!!!!!! smh

ivan will probably jumpscare airplane a lil cos he strays closer to demonic beast vs. demon demon but he'll get over it. probably

we WILL get a six-armed shirt for the local six-armed guy!!!!

If you turn him into a funny little fox guy Harry will want to chase him so so bad. Just the dog from the thing barreling towards him full speed.

I think Harry should think his writing is just The Best too.

[personal profile] hackauthor 2026-05-15 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
im crying this is such a funny mental image and i want to see it happen for real. he WILL be screaming, crying, howling, pleading for mercy, etc until he reaches the safety of someone bigger and scarier and/or a hole in the ground. bullying!!!!! this is bullying!!!!!!! <-- harry is just trying to play

i don't know how i'll be getting airplane's writing out there. but this is a threat and a promise that i WILL find a way. there are simply too many fans of terrible literature for it not to happen.

I've got nothing beyond hell yeah, more danmeis!!

They can confuse the absolute fuck out of each other by talking about the wild ways cultivation is extremely different between their canons.

I also have a lbh account but he is going to be sir not appearing in this game, but it does exist!
hackauthor: (god is a kind and benevolent entity)

[personal profile] hackauthor 2026-05-16 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
yippee!!! husky & his white cat shizun is on my list of series i wanna check out eventually, so i'm excited to learn more about mo ran!!

oh they are absolutely going to confuse each other. especially because an ding's cultivation practice is like... the opposite of most sects....... something something nobody has drawn their swords for combat in 100+ years........

luo binghe sir staying in the musebox for reasons of nobody wants to deal with the "that feel when no shizun" tantrum....... v_v i will say i did think that airplane would work out well as a lone canon warrior, mostly bc he'd be playing babysitter for Most potential castmates haha.
dogmetaphors: (☼ if i stay it won't be long)

[personal profile] dogmetaphors 2026-05-16 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Among other things, Mo Ran's sect, Sisheng Peak deliberately does not practice inedia. He will talk endlessly about the peak's cafeteria with its really great food!

Fortunately, Airplane will not need to babysit Mo Ran. Unfortunately, he will be a disciple who does not shut up about his shizun. :V

i for one am very excited to see 1) how he handles Emotional Intimacy Whether You Like It Or Not and 2) whether anybody takes him up on writing pornography of dubious quality. i feel like at least one character will right
hackauthor: (or maybe ignorance is bait)

[personal profile] hackauthor 2026-05-16 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
oh he is going to be SO squirrely about it. tethering is genuinely going to spook him so bad!!! guy who has never allowed anyone to see past his surface personas: wait what do you MEAN there's no hiding

i sure hope so. things are so trying!! why NOT give yourself a break with a self-indulgent action-adventure and/or bodice ripper
