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!

Nepeta is ALSO a good choice! As is Ratio, weird asshole of a guy (positive) that he is. I play HSR intermittently so I'm thrilled to see a cast in action. I don't bring out Aradia very often anymore, but sometimes she's just a perfect choice for a game.

Yeah, I think that's why I'm drawn to those two specifically? I could go for something totally out of her wheelhouse, but I like the idea of taking something she's familiar with and pushing it to an uncomfortable extreme, without the luxury of the other powerset as an immediate fallback (or her psionics! She's gonna feel so weird about not having that.) Though Geomancer would also be really neat, as would Beastkin! Spoiled for choice here, really.

re: Ancestor mode, ooh that is a fun idea. I was iffy on Aradia's when I saw it, but I genuinely didn't consider that Chronomancer could shuffle her around like that. :|a It'd be something interesting to play with for sure, and something that she'd be way more uncomfortable with then she'd like to admit.

Oooh that is a fun approach to take! Necromancy has mostly been used for benign uses so far from what I’ve seen, though I think we just need someone more industrious to make a skeleton army or something.

Aradia is rarely uncomfortable so I’d be fascinated to see that. Also I am just imagining her using grub form to wiggle into structures to explore them. Other people just see an Indiana Jones hat moving around on the floor. Then just a high pitched ‘Hello!’ From underneath it.

[megidont]

See, I think she'd be so confused by the skeletons initially but she'd see the use in it once she got past the "but I just do ghosts :?" weirdness of it all. Because ultimately, well- it's not really hurting them, and the extra hands are so useful.... (Maybe don't trust Aradia with a skeleton army. This surely won't lead to another cycle of revenge or anything.)

Oh the grub form as a way to explore tiny spaces would be interesting. And something really useful but not without it's own dangers, since grubs are tiny and so easily squishable. :|a Deciding which to go with is going to be a nightmare (in a good way).

And yeah, she's so rarely uncomfortable or out of her depth in canon! So putting her in a blender situations that she won't just vibe through is honestly something I'm really looking forward to, bc like. Girl you don't have your "the Alpha Timeline will just tidy everything up so it's okay :)" schtick to fall back on here. You gotta make decisions again!

[athinkingreed]

Leaning into the latter, you could with a Chronomancer lean into it longer with Aradia trying to MAKE things that way if you still let her some some mini time loops and inflict homestuck shenanigans on others.

While Necromancer immediately rips the Alpha Timeline reassurance away from Aradia. At the very least she can just focus on creating and maintaining a zombie army archeological team. Maybe not see the actual therapist and just grant one zombie the title of Dr. Mindwrangler and talk to it.

[megidont]

Oh you best believe that if she ends up as a Chronomancer, that I'm doing Weird Time Shit and having her try to "preserve" the alpha timeline. I'm still chewing on how best to word a question for the FAQ about if she could do her Past/Future Aradia time clone stuff again. Not to an excessive degree (no endlessly repeating until you have enough Aradias to throw at every problem!) but like, the occasional Spare Aradia would be fun. Again, it's an extra pair of hands!

Yeah, the flipside of Necromancer is that it immediately confiscates the safety blanket - which like, y'know. It's fine. Doomed timelines happen. She's just gonna wander and look around until this one tidies itself up, which it will almost definitely do at some point.

... though yeah she would just dub a random skeleton Dr Mindwrangler instead of talking to anyone about her problems, huh. Girl, please.
