ten_fwd_ooc | Welcome Post

Hey hey, Everyone!

All of our December applicants are in the process of being ... well, processed! Thank you all for your patience, as you know it's been a busy month. We'd like to take a moment to roll out the welcome mat, get to know all our new players and muses, and give you all a very warm hello! We're really looking forward to getting to know everyone!

To get you newbies started, your mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so you will see some helpful links below. This space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are. Oh myyyy~!

☆ OOC contact and information: Now that you're here, you can hit up our OOC Contact Post to let us know who you play and what the best means of getting in touch with you are. This post is locked to members of the OOC community, and it is optional. You can leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. All of the mod contact info you may need is right over here, so don't be shy about poking us if you need anything!

☆ Game updates: We strongly recommend you join, follow, and/or track our OOC Community ten_fwd_ooc. It's the best way to stay up to date with the game and any announcements from your mod team as soon as they happen.

☆ Getting started: You can intro your character as soon as you have your game clearance. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but you can also tag into someone else's post or enter your character anywhere that isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know!
Quarantine, Sickbay, and Rooming: Your characters' first few days on the ship will involve a lax quarantine to guest quarters, Ten Forward, and the lifts/hallways between the two only, until they've passed a basic medical check and had some vaccinations. Due to the holidays, our next Sickbay log is TBA. After their Sickbay visits, characters will be released from quarantine, assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. All new characters are assigned a room and a roommate by random draw. There will be an OOC post about room assignments this weekend, once all pending apps are completed, where we will announce when the IC Roommate Mixer-slash-Holiday Party will go up. This will include a linked IC tour and introduction to the ship.

--> Need more BASIC INFO about life on board and in the Star Trek universe? Head over here!

☆ Plotting and CR: December's plotting meme is located here, or you may leave a comment directly to this post if you're looking for any particular plots or CR for your character. Tag around other people's requests, and make some new connections! Plotting/CR Memes typically go up the last Monday of every month, as do announcements for next month's plots/events and a log swap meet.

☆ Mod Announcements: You can follow mod announcements using the admin: mod post tag here in the OOC comm. Our last announcement can be located here, have a look at your earliest convenience! Please note: AC will run January 10th - 23rd, but all December apps will be exempt until the next AC period.

Are there any other questions? Did the mods overlook something important? Please feel free to contact us, night or day, using the e-mail address tenforwardmods [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave a comment on this post. You can also friend our game plurk,

ten_fwd. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting everyone! Come, say hi in the comments below!

/SLAMS INTO THIS POST, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO MISS THREE IN A ROW!!

Uh, hi everyone! Welcome to Ten Forward! I'm Gabby, one of your friendly neighborhood mods. I hail from the EST US timezone (GMT-5), and my availability is a bit all over the place but I'm usually around for late night tags. I'm always up for stuff, and love interacting with new and different characters!

I have apped a new boy this month, so everyone say hi to Special Agent Pete Lattimer (

hey_heyhey, Warehouse 13)! Pete is going to delight in making everyone's lives a little more funky. He's also pretty sure you're all some kind of weird artifact, so get used to that for a while. My other muses are Steve Rogers (

stark_spangled, MCU), Kate Barlow (

ikissdhimbck, Holes), Amy Pond (

and_she_waited, Doctor Who), John Crichton (

never_felt_better, Farscape), and I also currently man some of our crew: Captain Jean-Luc Picard (

tea_earlgrey_hot), Guinan (

she_listens), and Geordi La Forge (

mr_laforge)!

Please feel free to friend me on Plurk (

gabbynormal) or AIM (gabby.normal), I'm super friendly and always love getting to meet new people. THESE GO FOR APPS FROM PAST MONTHS TOO, I am so sorry I have been so absent this winter but I want to plot with all of you. /grabby hands

Speaking of plots, I've got to hit this month's plotting meme with some special ideas for this week. /steeples fingers... Tomorrow is a "me" day so I'm going to be doing a lot of catching up on my backlog, memes, and hopefully hitting some new stuff. If you want to plot with me, please feel free to contact me however you like! I would LOVE to get some things started! And thanks everyone for being so patient with me as I've been dealing with RL. ♥

Welcome, all! So glad to have you!

I want Pete and Luna to meet just for the possible comedy! Plus he and Kristen could be funny too.

I want Pete to meet everyone, so YES. Basically yes forever.

He'll totally dig the little magic girl, and ... Myka will probably need to swing by and punch him if he starts ogling Kristen. But it's better than Helena, there's no telling what she might do to him...

hey Captain Rogers

I'll starken your spangles

w-what

I can unite more than the Earth Kingdom, you know

ಠᴗಠ ಠᴗಠ ಠᴗಠ

I... I don't.

PEEEEEEETE. He definitely needs to meet Helena's girlfriend. Who also needs to meet Steve, too. Maybe John. XD So Zoey needs to meet lots more of your characters. Just saying.

YES, YES HE DOES. I ... will apologize in advance if he says something stupid, though. Helena's love life is of great interest to him. >_<;;

Basically I want threads with Zoey and ALL of mine, ngl. You are one of the players I've been longing to thread more with while my RL has been doing its tailspin, so seriously any time, any place. I am there. :D

OMG I sort of hope he does, because it would be hilarious. And Zoey does need the full Pete experience. XDD It will certainly be interesting. And Zoey will probably give him so much shit. And then talk to Helena later about him after that first run-in. "Pete shows an inordinate amount of interest in your love life. Just saying".

You do realise I will be throwing Zoey at your characters forever then, right? MUST NEEDS HAVE ALL THE GABBY CHARACTER CR! All the time, all the places.

"the full Pete experience," lol. Yeah, this phrase is a thing that exists for good reason. XD

I welcome ANYONE giving Pete shit, seriously it's too hilarious to waste. Sorry Zoey, but you and Helena are beautiful women, he can't not think about it. Also he has a vested interest in this relationship working out so Myka doesn't run off on him. :D?

I realize this now, and I HAVE NO REGRETS. YES PLEASE, ALL THE THREADS. I AM DOWN. ♥♥♥♥!

Hi I'm here to throw my gross gen2 OC at like half of everyone you play???

Really though Jackal hanging out with both Steve and Picard is must have, and I can only imagine having a blast with bouncing her off of Amy and John also.

...and obviously I love Guinan and Geordi even if I'm less clear on what sort of interaction they'd have with her.

PFFFF get out of here with your incorrect use of the word "gross." Jackal is awesome and I will welcome ALL the CR with ALL the characters, true story.

We'll just have to thread all the time until we figure out which pancakes are keepers. :D

aww ty <3

...and wait what pancakes is this a journal RP term I don't know or are you talking about Guinan's hats?

♥!

LOL no sorry, I thought it was a common colloquialism but it's possible it's just a Southern thing. You always throw away the first pancake.

But lmao Guinan's hats. XD!

Oh really? Never heard that one! XD

I'd love to have Trip and Geordi meet sometime. Trip hates the Temporal Prime Directive and wants to know everything about the Warp Engines on the Enterprise D, so would bombard him with questions, and ply him with drink :) Plus Trip is working in his department, but ranked higher than him, which should be interesting...

YES PLEASE! I would love that! Ahaha, I actually have no idea how Geordi would respond, but plying him with drink is an excellent tactic. More Engineering bonding time = always, always good. :D

Engineers are Trip's favourite people :)

I'm pretty quiet at the moment, so I can set something up if you like, and you can get to it when you're ready. Or we can take this as a promise to get to it sometime later. I'm easy, really.
