opt-ins & additional opt-out.
Mar. 12th, 2020 08:59 pm1: Riful eats people sometimes. Sword is a version of Riful that does so less frequently than her canon counterpart, but it's still something that could happen.
If you are up with getting eaten sometime, mod approval permitting, please drop your name in comments below saying you're okay with Option 1. You can also say you're not down for that if you really want to, but if you don't leave a response I will honestly just take it as a "no" anyway so you don't have to.
2: Putting Riful in play means putting a great deal of potentially triggering and/or upsetting issues into play. (A probably-not-fully-comprehensive list of them heads her memory registry; you might want to check that.) Not everyone is going to be okay with dealing with those issues, and I'm fine with that; I don't want to hurt people with my rp period, but I especially don't want to do it because I forgot to check if they were okay with something first.
This is going to be less of an issue right out of the gate because Riful comes in with no context and no memories, but it's going to become an increasingly relevant concern the longer she's in play, so if I could preemptively get a headcount on who at least thinks they might be up for that, I'd appreciate it. It goes without saying that I will still ask if you're all right with it first when the time comes; this is just to know who I can ask.
If you're down with that, then, drop a comment saying you're up for Option 2. As with option 1, I'll take silence as a "no", so if that's not your thing, you don't need to say anything at all.

3: Cardinal as a team have also collectively gained the ability to inflict a temporary fear-paralysis effect on their opponents by screeching. Think like the similarly-named Pokemon move or some mix between a hawk and an owl.
Suffering the full effect of this boon is on an opt-in basis so I'd appreciate knowing who's ok with it and who's not. If you are all right having your character encounter this please say you're fine with Option 3.
Not saying anything's gonna be taken as a "no" unless we've talked about this beforehand. As always, I'll ask first either way. If it comes up & you don't feel comfy dealing with the full effect, there are enough handwave options: strong-willed characters can ofc resist this or successfully fight off the effect, for example.
4: If you are okay with your character being killed, please comment saying you're okay with Option 4.
5: If you are okay with your character being maimed, please comment saying you're okay with Option 5.
6: If you are okay with your character being tortured, please comment saying you're okay with Option 6.
Thanks to far too many IC events that have led to this we've long passed the point where I should have put these three options up for opting into or noping out of and now I'm rectifying that. Not commenting that you're okay with any of them counts as a collective "no". I will of course ask first if it becomes necessary to ask.
0: For those who have agreed to any of the above options I'm including an opt-out request. This may be presumptuous, but if you could do this for me it would be swell.
As previous opt-ins will indicate there are some topics and situations that choosing to interact with a character like Riful make it very difficult to avoid bringing up IC. My previous opt-ins have covered them in general. That's not enough, and leaving it at an opt-in seems inadequate to cover more specific concerns. So the request is this:
If you have already opted in on the general requests but would rather avoid certain specific things included in those requests that might come up despite that, please tell me what those are when you opt in.
In a game like this that deals with heavily compromised ideals and regular interpersonal acts of violence it could be very easy to step on each others' comfort levels and concerns about agency and flexibility, both on an IC and OOC level, but I don't want to do that to anyone or see it done to me, accidentally or otherwise. I want to be comfortable asking that respect from you as you should be asking it from me. It can be on plurk at @neardark or in PM on this account if you're not comfortable mentioning it in public, I'm not picky.
There have been problems with this in the past prior to adding this addendum to the post. For accountability's sake I'm not going to pretend those haven't happened. I'm sorry for not having been responsible enough in maintaining these OOC lines of communication and being attentive to these potential problems that people were put into that position. That is my fault and I own it.
If you would like something and if you wouldn't like something from me please ask me for it in whatever way you feel most comfortable doing, I promise I will listen. But I do not want you to say you're all right with something if you're not. None of us will have any fun that way.
