( ACTIVITY. )
Here at Silent Spring, AC is relatively low to accommodate the busy lives of a largely working, late-20s-and-older playerbase, and so that the game is still playable for people whose lives during weekdays (or whichever days work) relegate them to being weekend taggers.
We require one (1) AC proof per month, either a thread of 5 log comments, an event toplevel posted no later than the 20th of the month, 15 short network comments, or 5 multiparagraph network comments. You may not use a thread with the same character for two AC periods in a row.
You can post AC at any time in the month, the earlier, the better! This makes it easier for mods to space out administrative work through the month.
We allow for hiatuses of 1 month, up to 3 a year, not back to back. Players get one strike if they cannot make AC (with the exception of extraneous circumstances - please explain these to mods as soon as you are able to even if you’re not sure you’ll be unable to make AC and just think you might not make AC).
All of this said, think of AC proofs as a small cross-section of expected activity, the absolute bare minimum. This is a very small game, and there aren’t unlimited slots. Out of consideration to the people who didn’t make it in after you, please don’t squat.
New players should post a comment with their handle in the subject line, and then reply to that comment with the following subject line: Character Name | Canon | Role (Husband, Wife, Child).
For each month, post a new comment in reply to the subject line with your character’s name and canon, putting [Month] [Year] (ex: “January 2024”) in this comment’s subject line.

January 2024
What did your character do this month? Sans spent the month mostly observing the situation, learning how to blend in, and doing that. He visited the library and went through the physics books, learning some had been taken out. Unfortunately, his brother Papyrus didn't manage to stay blended in enough, and Sans spent a couple very upsetting days looking for him before spending yet more upsetting time dealing with his brother coming back mysteriously drugged. Later in the month, Sans would get caught up in the mannequin situation, spending his time with Sokka and Maureen trying to work out a way to get into the back rooms to get at the plumbing. Near the very end of the month, Sans attended the very normal dinner party where he refused to introduce himself in detail and questioned the usefulness of trying to murder a guy.

February 2024
What did your character do this month? Sans has mostly been buried in physics books for February, going through Dr. Ravichandran's books, setting up a rapport with him, and attending Dr. Ravichandran's lectures. He did, of course, take some time to go to Marjorie's party, where he really hated wearing a suit but still did it because he had to. He talked to Maureen outside about the stars, which was nice. Sans got a look at Toriel from home in that weird announcement, and so he's on kind of high alert regarding fitting in, since Toriel is not human. Also, she's dead, so he's kind of doubly alarmed there. But he can't tell anyone because that would be complicated, hooray!

March 2024
What did your character do this month? Sans suffered from the feeling hot at all times badly, as his old body wasn't one that typically needed to deal with temperature changes. He did a lot of scrubbing his skin raw without meaning to. Sans broke into Dr. Ravichandran's office, where he looked at some paperwork and saw that Dr. Ravichandran made a call to the operators at 12:30, presumably out of town. Sans wasn't able to catch him making the call, but hey, he got out of the office okay. He plans to tell everyone else when he gets a chance in case it's relevant. Later, he got attacked by a red-tailed hawk and went to Margaret to get it fixed, not trusting the hospital. He did his best to pretend he was totally a normal human who is definitely used to having skin. Finally, he ran into Sherlock Holmes after Sherlock came back to life.

May 2024
What did your character do this month? Sans hasn't been doing a ton this month, though added together with last month he attended the "book" club and now has to deal with Papyrus having a "son", who he thinks is a little weird. Sans is trying to avoid discussion of that whole suicide situation, because he's not sure he'll be able to react to it properly (and he doesn't know what counts as properly).

Re: June 2024
August 2024
What did your character do this month? Sans suffered through a lack of air conditioning, which he really did not appreciate. Then he had to deal with a couple of his memories being revealed at random, one of which was especially unfortunate. By comparison, having to talk his way out of trouble in the house search was preferable.

July 2024
What did your character do this month? Sans spent much more time than he would have preferred mowing his lawn this month! Okay, that's not really important. Besides that, Sans went to Marjorie's Fourth of July party, where he appreciated wiggling weird gelatin creations, ate chips, and extremely carefully talked around Papyrus having been dragged off to another reeducation session for lawn transgressions. Then he got stuck in the neighborhood bunker, which he handled better than a lot of people, and spent continuing to eat chips he took from the party and talking to some of the others. He still sees these bunker trips as good ways to get a view of a lot of the neighborhood at the same time. Finally, Sans attended the belated fireworks show, where he had a very bad reaction to the war memory, as it triggered his memories of fighting the anomaly at home. He managed not to start blurting things out, but he had to be handled (embarrassingly to him, because showing real emotions is for suckers) gently and go home early.
