OOC UPDATES

Welcome to August(ish)'s game calendar and the start of MISSION: HYRYPIA's Pilgrimage. Please be aware of the dating and events as you play through Hyryrpia and be careful not to move past the scheduled calendar as events have the potential to shift considerably week to week and we don't want anyone to get into an awkward spot they need to retcon their play. Additionally, please be aware of the small IC:OOC time ration acceleration that occurs this first week of the calendar to account for the travel time from Naerstone House to The Great Flat.

As a few additional notes: We're going to be working to update and streamline the FAQ a bit in the coming weeks, so if you have any burning questions that you want included on it now might be the time to ask them! Additionally, we're making a small change in how we process applications going forward for the duration of Mission Hyrypia. While the application queue will always stay open, we'll only be doing hatches on a monthly basis. This is to a) streamline our work process, and b) give us more time to focus on mission critical plotting and logs rather than the oscillation of drops and new players.

As always, if you have any questions or thoughts don't hesitate to touch base with us either in the questions thread below or via the Mod Contact page. Happy Pilgrimage everyone and happy August, everyone! Don't let your feet get too tired. <3

• Newly hatched (or recently non-comatose) hosts arrive on Hyrypia.

• I hope you like walking.

       DAY :010
• In the dark, wee hours of DAY :010, a sensation of dread wakes up all Hosts. The source of it is impossible to track, but it's absolutely palpable.

Not sure if this should go here,but if Aloy tries to use her success in the events so far and the hunting to try and get closer/buddy up to younger Hyrypians can she find out anything useful or see if they let anything slip about the Seconds in casual conversation?

Younger Hyrypians will definitely be happy to talk to Aloy about her talents in the field! Wow! She's so cool! Gosh! Imagine being able to do those things with all that fabric in the way! What kind of mounts does she have at home? How did she learn? Obviously not all Carbauschians are so talented - surely she must have a formal education.

Etc., etc.

Most Hyrypians (particularly those of the younger Minor Houses) know very little about the intricacies of Second cultures and lifestyles. They know what they do and have a general idea of how they do it, but think of it as the general working knowledge most people in a christian society might have of the priesthood. It's a job and you do the thing and there's some ritual and importance to it and clearly it's a talent and a skill and a huge honor, but unless a Hyrypian has specifically educated themselves on it or has a tie to the House of Seconds, their information tends to be fairly basic.

That said - asking questions and building friendships never hurts. Additionally, we'll be having a log in the near future where characters can interact ICly with a broad range of envoys and Hyrypians, so keep your eyes peeled for that if you want to do something specifically with us NPCing a bunch of randos that's more played out and less 'ask ooc questions, receive ooc exposition'.

Let us know if you have any other questions!
