fridgeflower: (oh minor crud!)
Lmao y'all I... starting playing this iteration of this character in 2014 (and I have a pretty poor memory for details over time!), so I hope this is an adequate explanation of her in-game history.

Laurie arrived in the world of [community profile] maskormenace (in Florida!) in 2014, unaware of her own death due to the fairly instant nature of it, at 16 years old. She settled into housing provided for imPorts and worried over things like enrolling in a new school and whether her mom would be freaking out over her potential absence. And then her friend David arrived and informed her of her own death, which sent her into a spiral of dealing with her own mortality. Her new world was now her only world, and exPorting would be the end.

Her first year after this revelation was documented via journals and eventually edited down to comprise her first book release, One Year Posthumous, which she initially released under a pseudonym. It summarized a uniquely imPort experience for public consumption, simplifying Laurie's complex feelings and the happenings in her life. She'd established friendships, routines, goals... Her life re-calibrated and stabilized, so much as one's life could in a world of frequent upheavals.

Eventually, Laurie graduated high school and left her initial government-sponsored housing with her longtime roommate and bff Sasha, renting a new apartment in Heropa, Florida that she kept for the remainder of her time on-world. She joined a superhero team and lived through crisis after crisis (Apocalypse Time Loop! The Shimmer!, etc.), always a little desperate to stay alive. She developed deep friendships and, eventually, took occasional stabs at dating. She attended the local college. She published a novel You know... Normal stuff! She adjusted! This is fine!

Her social life rose and crashed sharply in January of 2019. She began a brief relationship with her teammate Cassandra Cain, and her hometown ex-boyfriend, Josh (who absolutely wrecked her shit before she died oops), Ported in. Little while later, she's girlfriendless and trying to get out there. Insert short partying spree. Laurie and Josh worked on being friendly. Then David came in (again! But without remembering his imPorting years prior) to help pull everyone's shit together.

Not to say there wasn't lots of fun, new drama, because OH BOY. After a near-Apocalypse, there were a few months in which the fellas established a household and gained a roommate, Joseph Kavinsky, Laurie and Josh officially started dating again, and... Then the world itself started unwinding and rewinding itself again. Laurie's tossed first into an AU in which imPort existence is legislated and criminalized, and she essentially fights against this through assassination. This left echoes when they returned to their established place. The shadows of that otherworldly interference only stretching out further when they're tossed into yet another alternate history. In this round, Laurie's part of the island nation of Krakoa, one of several powerful factions of super-people in rivalry for control and existence as they see fit. Here, she's also formerly part of a throuple with Josh and David, which is only a little awkward later.

Big Awkward, though? That's the roiling unraveling of Josh and David's roommate Kavinsky. Outside of his own personal problems and an unintended side-effect of treating himself with others' powers, Kavinsky became emotionally entrenched with (particularly) Josh and David, eventually mounting in a breakage. This manifested fiercely when, on a time-traveling mission, he attacked and killed both David and Laurie.

But they all made up eventually! After things are mended with the multiverse and the timeline once again, Laurie came to an uneasy understanding and relinquishment of the event. There were other matter to tend to, after all, which brings us to endgame in her previous world and her arrival in her next. Intending to return to her home-world, she left Heropa, Florida, hoping to somehow reside in the actual Krakoa. However... To be continued, innit?
