▷ OOC INTRO / CR MEME #12

▶ WELCOME & REMINDERS

Hello Outsiders, and welcome to this round’s CR meme and OOC intro post for new players. Below are some notes, along with a schedule of upcoming events.

▶ For new players/characters, please respond to the taken list as soon as you can. The mods rely on the taken list to maintain accurate player count.
▶ As a reminder, we do have an unofficial player-run Discord server that any player is welcome to join at any time.
▶ Please do not DM the mod account. If you need to reach us, please do it through our mod contact post.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

September 15 - Mingle / Team Building post
September 17 - Player plot courtesy of Ammay, Laure, Jill and Eski
October 1 - Travel Log
October 4 - Kaiju RNG Post goes up

Please look at the special mod note on this event below!

▶ MOD NOTE: REGARDING THE OCTOBER EVENT.

As an important addition, October's kaiju will have a special twist: an opt-in chance for a change in Outsiders' memories. This opt-in choice will have content warnings for memory manipulation and hallucinations during the event.

Outsiders will have the option of believing they have always lived in Neo Tokyo, always worked for LILITH to tackle the kaiju problem and been present in this world since birth. As this will be a plot point that you might want to plan out and discuss with fellow Outsiders beforehand, we wanted to give you the chance to plan out your "Neo Tokyo AUs" with one another before the event hits in October.

NOTE: This is entirely opt-in. No one is required to have this memory change, and they'll be able to notice their friends' changes in memory. Eventually they might have an opportunity to save them! Both roles will have an equal amount of importance in the event, so either choice will have plenty of things to do!

▶ OOC INTRO / CR MEME FORM.

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV | Devil Summoner | Everlight

[the_fourteenth]

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Lan
CONTACT: hellglass; LanDisaster on Discord; PM
ABOUT YOU: An old lady who talks too much

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Raidou Kuzunoha XIV
CANON & CANON POINT: Devil Summoner manga, chapter 18. Takes place after both games.
TEAM: Everlight
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Johei Narumi, shinto priest trainee

CHARACTER BLURB:
Raidou is the main protector of The Capital of Japan, saving it from existential supernatural threats of all kinds, mostly demons. He also has demons that he commands and fights alongside with like Megaten pokemon. Sadly, he has none here with him. He's a highly trained swordsman and marksman, and takes his job very seriously. Hailing from 1922, he lived a very sheltered life being trained from the time he could hold a sword, taken in as an orphaned infant by the Kuzunoha clan and raised to be a summoner.

Raidou is reserved and wary of new people at first, but warms up over time. At first he will be overly formal and polite, almost cold, but eventually you might get to see his more warm and playful side. He cares very deeply about helping others. Currently he doesn't have any demons here to use in battle, and he's come from a canon point where he's failed big time and thinks he's dead (he's not). He keeps very busy, a workaholic type, who can be found in the training rooms, library, or kitchen, or the shrine near the base.

IMPORTANT LINKS: The front page of this journal has everything you need.

NEO TOKYO AU: I'm so bad at AUs, so I might keep Raidou from being manipulated. He will, of course, do everything he can to help those who need it.

If your character is AUed and you want to fit Raidou into your life, he can just... not be Raidou. He was never a devil summer, not a swordsman. He's just Johei Narumi, local mild-mannered priest trainee and gardener.

CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: Whoever wants me!
CR YOU COULD OFFER: The unrelenting force who'll stop at nothing to fix everything.

CR YOU WANT: Raidou has been here for nearly two years, so I welcome any CR - whether our characters just haven't crossed paths in all that time, or you're newer. He likes helping newbies. Mostly what I need are those who are patient with slow burn CR, since Raidou is slow to open up to people.

PLANS & GOALS:
A good listener, a training partner, a newbie helper, someone to help you on a project. He's somewhat quiet, a good worker, loves to keep busy. Find him hovering around his close CR (Yuji especially) like a phantom.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Taryon Darrington | Critical Role | Redemption

[likemybooks]

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Nara
CONTACT: PM or mutanthairything
ABOUT YOU: Office worker in US Central Time who sometimes posts about knitting projects, her garden, or Girl Scout volunteering. Also plays piano and is constantly horribly behind on movies and TV shows.

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Taryon Darrington
CANON & CANON POINT: Critical Role, after campaign 1
TEAM: Redemption
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Gary Jumbo, sales clerk at a merchandise store

CHARACTER BLURB: High-intelligence, low-wisdom artificer with a magic robot sidekick that was his best friend when he was a kid. Taryon is a rich nerd who went full Don Quixote and left home to be an adventurer, only to end up making his first group of friends and addressing his Personal Issues. Nowadays he's offering his magic engineering skills to be helpful and useful. He's a support caster, so he's always offering to build things for other characters or boost their stats.

IMPORTANT LINKS: Syndata and information on his magic.

NEO TOKYO AU: Not sure if I will be doing this, but if I am, Taryon is the son of a corrupt and wealthy businessman who cute ties with his family and wound up joining LILITH to have some place to live while he practices living like a normal person.
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: Friends who took pity on him and took him in after he cut ties off with his family?
CR YOU COULD OFFER: Some rich weird nerd who probably paid you before he left home for some small job?

CR YOU WANT: Generally, more friends, people he talk to about TV shows, books, philosophy, compare the cultures of their homeworlds! And idiots that get each other into trouble.
PLANS & GOALS: It's going to be the anniversary of Taryon's death in Synflux so I'm thinking to have him ruminate on how that changed things and possibly reach out to CR pre-death to close up some lingering worries?

ANYTHING ELSE:

OOC INFORMATION.

CONTACT: aziraphale, lauralae on discord/in game chat
ABOUT YOU: 30+ year old teacher, super into anime and manga, video games and general nerdery! Feel free to add me if we have CR.

yuji itadori / everlight

[eyescar]

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Yuji Itadori
CANON & CANON POINT: Jujutsu Kaisen, post-series
TEAM: Everlight
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Ryoutoku Wasuke, firefighter

CHARACTER BLURB: Yuji Itadori is the protagonist of JJK and is an optimistic, kind-hearted kid who just wants to do his best and save people while stuck in a canon that wants nothing more than to traumatise him. He's physically strong, determined and an overall sweetheart, but is dealing with the consequences of the six month horror show his life has been back home - and the extra months of trouble being in Neo Tokyo has brought him lately.

IMPORTANT LINKS: INFO / INBOX / TIMELINE / PREFS

NEO TOKYO AU: I won't be AUing him... Maybe he can finally rest? (No.)
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: I'm happy to have Yuji as part of other people's memories/AUs if you want him to be, so he can be extra confused and freaked out by whatever is going on!
CR YOU COULD OFFER:

Yuji is very pro-LILITH generally, so can offer some good CR there to develop a character's view of the organisation.

He can frequently be found doing training, practicing, sparring, etc, all with his new techniques still developing, so he's a good option for a training partner.

A semi-decent cook, he can be found hanging around in the cafeteria helping out there.

It's very well known that Yuji has been with the organisation since the first round of Outsiders was brought way back when, so he's a decent enough source of information and details about what it's like to be here, for old and new alike.

He's also done a bunch of the upgrades and experiments (healing touch, teleportation, style chip, room upgrade) so he can talk about those as well.

He is friendly and outgoing, so easy to get good CR with.

His close CR include his canonmates (Megumi, Geto, Choso, Gojo, Yuta, Nanami, sorry not you Toji) and his close friends ingame (Raidou [boyfriend], Bakugo, Silco, Ratio, etc) so there are easy CR chances there too.

Local boy is getting therapy! Ask him about it, if you want.

CR YOU WANT: Yuji is my more social character, so I have a lot of great CR! My interests lie in developing that but also anyone who wants to be his friend, sparring partners, etc. He's also a goody-two-shoes, so negatvive CR with the more morally dubious folks would be fun.
PLANS & GOALS: Nothing major this month, just continuing his road to recovery and probably having a time against the kaiju ✨

ANYTHING ELSE:

aki hayakawa / revelation

[lifeprice]

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Aki Hayakawa
CANON & CANON POINT: Chainsaw Man, post chapter 79
TEAM: Revelation
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Asahi Yuki, kindergarten teacher

CHARACTER BLURB: Aki is a former member of an organisation called "Public Safety", tasked with killing curses to protect humanity - which he joined in order to get revenge on the devil that killed his family. He's a stern, cool looking kind of dude but has a good heart under all his grief and trauma that he tries his best not to let get him down these days.

IMPORTANT LINKS: INFO / INBOX / PREFS

NEO TOKYO AU: I'll probably AU Aki! He'll probably still be getting married to Tsurumaru, planning their wedding, and for maximum angst think his family is still alive and kicking. He might also think Denji and Power are his real siblings (adopted or otherwise). Some kind of muscle for LILITH.
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: Some childhood friends would be cute, coworkers he hangs out with/drinks with, etc. I'm down to figure out anything since my ideas are quite barebones right now!

CR YOU COULD OFFER:

Aki is a proficient fighter and will practice/spar, so could be a nice training partner.

He has one of the upgrades and will be looking into more, so that could be an in.

A semi-decent cook, he can be found hanging around in the cafeteria helping out there.

Aki has also been with the organisation for a while, so he's also a source of information.

His closest CR are Denji (brother/son/etc), Power (daughter/sister/etc) and Tsurumaru (husband to be/menace), so there are ins there.

PLANS & GOALS: Aki is going to get married and settle down if it kills me.

ANYTHING ELSE:

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Indilee
CONTACT: indilee | PM | Or comment here!
ABOUT YOU: Just a dork that loves RP way too much. I'm officially old™ but stuck in US CST who enjoys streaming, playing video games, RPing, writing, and crochet. I love to brainstorm so if you need someone to lob ideas back and forth, feel free to hit me up and I can see if I can help.

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Raphael Hamato
CANON & CANON POINT: Rise of the TMNT - post series and movie
TEAM: Everlight
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: El Hamato, florist

CHARACTER BLURB: As the eldest of the turtle brothers, Raphael is typically the protector of the gaggle of them. Despite his age, he's often trying to help others and has golden retriever good boy syndrome when it comes to interactions with others, hoping to see the good in people first and foremost. With his ninpo powers, he's often shielding and punching his way through whatever threat he might be taken head on.

This boy does hold grudges though so if he thinks you're bad news, you're probably going to be on his distrust list.

IMPORTANT LINKS: Syndata and his app has info if you want to know more.

NEO TOKYO AU: I'm assuming that since he's got to be cloaked since he's non-human, this would be a human version of him for this AU? So probably human boy running around. I LOVE AUs and the first thing that made me think of was a gruffer bounty hunter Raphael, probably stalking people in the city to haul them in or get whatever they stole from whoever hired him, etc.
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: I'm down for anything
CR YOU COULD OFFER: If not AU'd? Raph is definite big brother material. If you need a buddy or a hug, he'll be there. If AU'd up, he's going to probably be a dick to people he doesn't know, unless you can pay him. That said, he'll still have some sliver of good boy nature in there so he'll probably bitch about it but also help people out if it involves him somehow.

CR YOU WANT: Anything, really. Raph could use more friends! People to hug! Otherwise I love getting characters into trouble. He might be shy at first with humans, since he's used to being seen as "big and scary" since he's huge and, you know, a mutant turtle. I love characters getting closer and building relationships with each other so I'm always down for exploring this.

The first kaiju he's actually fought he was the one to get the killing blow on it so he's still kind of dealing with the fact that while it was a successful mission, people were warped from the rifts (himself included) and isn't sure how to feel about it given that he and the teams need to be protected too. So maybe some reassurance for him?

PLANS & GOALS: Not really anything concrete! I keep laughing at the fact that this big guy keeps making friends with all the ladies since he's a gentleman to them. Just trying to vibe and put him out there to meet more people since he only knows so many of the LILITH crews.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Re: QUESTIONS

[soft_shelled]

Question about the AU for non-humans, can or will it needed for the AU for them to think they've always been human/thus be perma-cloaked for the AU? Or is that up to player discretion?

[asagami]

Hi hello, I would love to throw Fujino at Raph more! Greatly enjoyed their thread on the kaiju fight log, so I'm interested to see where else it goes 👀

[redangelofpreventingharm]

Sure! He thinks she's very polite and sweet so he'd be down to hang out! :D Especially since he'd want to make sure she was feeling okay after the fight log.

[asagami]

Heck yeah /o/ Gonna hit up his inbox later in the week since she's coming by his room and wants to repay him back for all the help, and then probs roll from there!

Also, you mind if I friend you on Plurk?

[redangelofpreventingharm]

YEAH! \o\ Sounds like a plan! He'll be glad to see she's feeling better.

Feel free! I use Plurk mainly for rambling about RP stuff and my games so that's usually the easiest way to get a hold of me for RP related banter.

[shadowban]

not even a real comment but i'm crying at the choice if anything else image 😭😭😭😭😭

aerith gainsborough | final fantasy 7: rebirth

[arcaneward]

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Lins
CONTACT: PM, florescentis on discord; I have a plurk at florescentia but I don't use it much. Feel free to add me though!
ABOUT YOU: I never know what to put here. Hi! I'm Lins, I live in the Midwest with my two cats, Thor and Casserole! My hobbies are mostly video games (I play Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, FF14 and WoW pretty regularly, and my fave game series are Final Fantasy and Persona!), but I'm branching out into old school character shrine making because I miss ye olden dayes of the web. I'm also trying to get back into embroidery but it's hard to source supplies around here that aren't from, like, Hobby Lobby so it's been a bit slow going. I work 2nd shift in a support role for my local utility company, so if the weather is Bad(tm) I'm pulling 12+ hour days. I try to get to tags regularly but if I'm falling behind on something feel free to poke me!!

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Aerith Gainsborough
CANON & CANON POINT: Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, post game
TEAM: Redemption
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Briana Moore, florist

CHARACTER BLURB: The last of a mystical race of people known as the Cetra, Aerith has inherited a destiny almost too great for her to carry, but she does so with a smile and a bit of sass. She looks like your average cottagecore pretty princess, but Aerith grew up in the slums and isn't afraid to throw down (within her capability) when necessary. She's lived her life hunted by the oligarchy that runs the city of Midgard (and, to be honest, the entire planet of Gaia), but she's never really given up on living her life on her terms. However, even though she's very extroverted, she still keeps a soft distance from others, like she's hiding a secret she can't let out.

IMPORTANT LINKS: Syndata

NEO TOKYO AU: I'm still brainstorming this, but I do know she's definitely working in a flower shop of some kind! She's also a childhood friend of Cloud's, and has met back up with him for the first time in a long time.
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: Friends, family, coworkers, if you have an idea let me know!
CR YOU COULD OFFER: Aerith is great with kids naturally, so she's a good big sister type, or even a big sister! I could definitely see her as the cool auntie, too!

CR YOU WANT: Right now, I'm okay with most anything. Extremely negative CR is something I'd like to avoid for now, just so I can get her settled.
PLANS & GOALS: I'm hoping to get Aerith a job at the flower shop (Tsurumaru, hit her up!!), and I'd also like her to get a community vegetable garden started at the Tokyo base! Probably in a makeshift greenhouse of sorts over the fall and winter, and then outside once it gets warmer. She will be decorating the Redemption common areas with flowers and greenery, too.

TEAM: everlight
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: eriks stryfe / rent boy odd jobs man, currently spending most of his time at the orphanage.

CHARACTER BLURB: have you ever seen the human embodiment of a dog's squeaky toy try to gather up the strength to keep on going and bring love and joy to the world? if you've met vash then now you have! he's an alien something desperately trying to come across as human and Just A Guy, often getting himself into hijinks and letting shit take bites out of him. but he loves people. let him love your people.

IMPORTANT LINKS: INBOX

NEO TOKYO AU: i am currently planning to, but the details are hazy. maybe he's the son of a clean energy scientist who went missing in the rift and now he's out here trying to find her. kind of like how you get stormchasers except vash is a rift chaser and will drive him and his friends into the nearest occurrence.
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: friends!!! it'd be really funny if he also had an estranged romantic partner. some people he's rescued from rifts maybe? or like just helped out in general? my brain is stuck on the twister au. other mad scientists!!!

[gorb]

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: suguru geto
CANON & CANON POINT: jujutsu kaisen jjk0.
TEAM:n brimstone
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: zara soba / bum.

CHARACTER BLURB: a manic depressive pixie dream boy with a chip on his shoulder.

IMPORTANT LINKS: INBOX

NEO TOKYO AU: 99% leaning towards yes because i like the idea of a geto who has still seen the Horrors but has not had to consume the Horrors and therefore his depression is managed by being very sexy and also ... zoloft, probably. i could see him as a sort of martial arts teacher man of the community kind of vibe. Good Boy with a sassy side. helps LILITH because it is the Right Thing To Do, you know?
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: ANYTHING. EVERYTHING.
CR YOU COULD OFFER: the prettiest mentor anyone could need.

CR YOU WANT: honestly he needs more grown up friends he could drink with, so come to me, people who cope with booze and bad decisions.
PLANS & GOALS: we'll see what oct holds, i will hold off on the cult stuff if i'm gonna do au stuff. if not ..... i will consider more cult stuff.

ANYTHING ELSE: pls imagine a sexy gif.

For the AUs, will they go by their Synflux identity names or can they keep their real/canon names?

[redangelofpreventingharm]

Hi! Welcome on in! The big ol' boy here will definitely help with that plan for a garden and the like since his occupation is also a florist. She'll just have to let him know and he'll be out there digging trenches for seeds before you know it.

These two were adorable on the TDM so you know Raph would definitely be Aerith's friend. :)

Tsurumaru Kuninaga ✧ Touken Ranbu ✧ Everlight

[cranekin]

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Tsurumaru Kuninaga
CANON & CANON POINT: Touken Ranbu
TEAM: Everlight
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Rindou Adachi , flower shop worker

CHARACTER BLURB: Tsurumaru "Actual Agent of Chaos" Kuninaga. He's a 1000+ year old sword spirit. His true form is the sword he carries at his side. He's from the year 2205 and fights to protect history from evil spirits that want to change it. Tsurumaru is beautiful, cool, reliable, and an absolute gremlin. He loves surprises which often means indulging in pranks like digging pitfalls, jumping out from around corners, and sticking googly eyes on everything. He has attachment issues because he has sad white haired anime boy trauma but I promise he's good and actually likes most people. For the most part he's okay until he ends up in battle and gets a little too hype about getting sTaInEd ReD wItH bLoOd because he's cranekin and needs to dye himself red some how.

IMPORTANT LINKS: Recent Network post and Semi-open log for positive CR

NEO TOKYO AU: Gonna AU Tsurumaru! He's a whimsical and kind of eccentric agent for LILITH who has probably lost his immediate family and a lot of allies to kaiju attacks/etc. Was passed around his remaining family and raised by his well-off but kind of quirky uncles. Loyal to his comrades, reliable in any situation, still largely the same Tsurumaru but without centuries of baggage. Happily engaged to Aki.
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: Past schoolmates, childhood friends, coworkers, juniors to mentor/lead... I'm pretty open to a lot of things!

CR YOU COULD OFFER (AU):

✧ Proficient and creative fighter, especially with a sword so he could easily be a sparring buddy/comrade
✧ Despite being a menace, he's really sharp (heh) and is a reliable leader and warrior/soldier. He could easily serve in someone's unit(?) or have led someone's in the past.
✧ A known prankster that causes (harmless) trouble for everyone
✧ Despite being human in this au... I guess he still acts kind of like an old man sometimes.
✧ If you aren't AU'ing your character, I'd also be down for him to like... think you ARE part of the AU and assume CR too if you want.

CR YOU COULD OFFER (OU):

✧ social pseudo-extrovert that can drag people around and into things
✧ he's weak towards youths and will low key look out for anyone that ends up under his care
✧ does anyone want to learn swordsmanship or have a sparring buddy
✧ he's going to play up being stupid with tech but he's actually kind of familiar with it so he can help any old fashioned folks
✧ cryptid/not-human friend who both understands and doesn't understand how to be human
✧ he does impersonations
✧ if anyone wants to sense that he isn't human/is a spirit, feel free! likewise, the sword his sword form is a real sword. if you want to recognize the name or have your character stumble onto info randomly in game, that's cool with me, too.

CR YOU WANT:

✧ he has a soft spot for youths and tends to be more open around them
✧ he's sympathetic towards character types that take on ~heavy burdens~
✧ other sword folks since he is a sword spirit and has his sword with him
✧ people he can menace
✧ people who can menace him back
✧ he'll be looking for people with an affinity for smithing and supernatural healing given his nature
✧ characters that can sense he's a spirit
✧ fellow non-human or cryptid characters
✧ characters that are good at reading others and can call out his bullshit
✧ he also works at a flower shop for fun so feel free to join him there or run into him!!

PLANS & GOALS: Tsuru will be helping with sword scam hustle plot! And Akitsu wedding WILL happen so help me.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Asaba Harumasa ✧ ZZZ ✧ Everlight

[byoukyu]

IC INFORMATION.
CHARACTER: Asaba Harumasa
CANON & CANON POINT: Zenless Zone Zero (End of his Agent Story)
TEAM: Everlight
CIVILIAN NAME & OCCUPATION: Setsuna Kubo

CHARACTER BLURB:

In Harumasa's world, they have to deal with disasters called "Hollows" which are dark voids that appear suddenly and swallow up large areas. Deadly monsters called Ethereals roam the Hollows and prolonged exposure within the Hollows can result in a phenomenon called Ether Corruption which turns humans into Ethereals.

Harumasa is a special agent who works for the government and is responsible for clearing Hollows. He uses a custom compound bow that can turn into dual blades. In general, he is laidback, friendly, and highly skilled but he is known for being a slacker that frequently takes off from work. A running gag is that he is frequently using up his sick leave but he really does have some health issues which are triggered when he overworks himself. Don't worry about it.

IMPORTANT LINKS: IC inbox

NEO TOKYO AU: I won't be AU'ing Harumasa just to keep things balanced. That said, if anyone wants to work him into their AU and assume some CR, I'm down for it!

I think the gist will be... He was orphaned at a young age and raised by a guardian who was also a doctor/researcher. Said guardian then went MIA on an assignment. In his youth, Harumasa was actually very studious and practiced very hard to get into a defense/military academy. He had a promising future ahead of him and was scouted by different organizations before settling in LILITH. However, these days, he takes it easy and slacks off for "health reasons."
CR YOU'D LIKE TO INCORPORATE: I won't be AU'ing Harumasa just to keep things balanced with my characters. That said, if anyone wants to work him into their AU and assume some CR, I'm down for it!

CR YOU COULD OFFER (AU):

✧ Military/defense academy mates
✧ Coworkers to hang out with
✧ Childhood friends
✧ Comrade in arms, etc
✧ An actually not-AU'ed guy having to play pretend with your AU character
✧ A fellow normie trying to help/figure out how to help the AU characters

CR YOU COULD OFFER (OU):

✧ A friendly and silly guy that can get along with most character types
✧ Harumasa is very protective and always looks out for others
✧ Without spoiling too much, he's a character with a lot of secrets who does a lot of deflecting so he's fun for characters that want to crack him like a nut and study him under a microscope

CR YOU WANT:

✧ People he can slack off and be silly with
✧ Healer types that can help him when he's sick
✧ Serious types that can figure out some of his secrets
✧ Characters that won't be too nosy and will just let him live his life
✧ Characters that will try to get him to be more serious

PLANS & GOALS: Harumasa might have an indirect cameo in sword scam hustle... maybe. I've been pretty active with Tsuru this month so far so I'm going to start throwing Harumasa out at more things now.

ANYTHING ELSE:
