OOC M&G / JAN '25 / BETA.

[eagan]

Hi there. Welcome to AFTER LIFE, a game based in the world of Severance! This post is meant to serve as a sort of meet and greet: a starting point for OOC chatter about which characters you may like to bring to the game, what your plans for them are, if your character needs a housemate, etc. Hopefully this will make the application process much easier! The meet and greet is open to anyone who has an invitation to the game. Got any questions? Check the FAQ or ask in the comments here.

OKAY HEAR ME OUT.

james bond (needs a canon review! very badly!), and in the event i did, i am deeply into the vibe of "i thought i just sold books and was severely into lawn care, but i keep, horrifyingly, knowing stuff" (severed cause: up in the air! but also, he's died like, 60 times?). i don't imagine he'd work at lumon, but that, also, is a possibility.

other outliers are: natasha romanoff of mcu fame (more spies!), booker from the old guard (severed because he fucked it all up; still depressed! perhaps married with a family so i can go the "these are not my beautiful children, this is not my beautiful wife" route?), or joan holloway from mad men (i heard some of you need A WIFE).

jb is such a deep pull for you i am genuinely shocked (AND DELIGHTED)

plus love LOVE the idea of him having these skills that make NO sense for a gardener or anyone living a remotely normal life (and you have totally free reign to make his unraveling as meta as you want), rip to james for getting his normal life ending and it's THIS

i'm whispering booker/gal romance in your ear but also you know i love joan so much ............ [ arrested development voice ] marry me haha jk but not really

has this been helpful

[oo]

lmao i made this journal in 2012. possibly the deepest pull i've ever made??

YEAH i'm kind of like leaning on the fence about it. a lot of things will likely be finalized as you say with a rewatch and s2 - if i had to pick (1) hypercompetent man who has a normal life and a drinking problem, it would be either booker or bond. i'm rly into the idea of joan but she's already so normcore that i DO need to seriously think about what my intentions with her would be. diehard lumon employee?? "of course this is fine the brochure says it's fine, honey do you want potroast"??

it's been helpful kisses on both yo cheeks!!

sidles over to say i love bond

("of course you do you ben whishawface")

[oo]

my urgency to canon review and once again, make james bond a core part of my personality: FLOURISHING via comments like these

(but it's such a great face!!)

[semicharmed]

this is such a mood tbqh

and hey, if you do dust him off for this thing, he can bounce off this ... complete opposite of a spy, who also doesn't know much about computers

[oo]

we will make it so!! also, actually, sort of inadvertently delightful that he shares the same face - i think it might be fun to have them as Totally Normal People Who Are Friends In This Town, Actually, like there's some subconscious part at play that makes bond, at least, want to be pals?

[semicharmed]

Yesssss I love this!

And like, Matt needs a wife in this universe but he also needs a gay awakening, so you know ... Very Normal Friends (Is It Normal To Think Things Like "Rugged" and "Dashing" About Your Friend, Asking for a Different Friend).

"what you're describing is a crush" "hmmm much to ponder"

[powerhungry]

these are the sacred ancient texts ………………

i think the period shift is fun re: joan and also like … figuring out what her priorities are in a word where being a woman doesn’t limit her career, etc. like would she go along with lumon’s bs if she were aware of it? would finding out change her mind? but also loooove the idea of her being complicit???

idk girl i love her and i love how you write her, you can do no wrong ever
