DECEMBER PLOTTING

OOC

☀ We are currently at 50+/30 players! Applications will be closed to new players until the player count drops to under 30 again. Current players can app a second after two consecutive months of AC (including the first month's check-in), and also have the option of swapping out one character for another if a character doesn't feel like a good fit for the game, without worrying about the player cap.

☀ Some very very helpful player made google docs (thank you!): housing, event log Q&As, infoshare meeting summary from 11/27 (backdated to 11/27, but is a nice overview of the different mysteries characters are working on). I'm going to create a separate page for this sort of thing and sticky it to the top of the ooc comm, so please leave links below for things like height charts, age charts, permission posts, etc anything you think would be useful to have on hand or that you'd like other players to fill in so we can see where everybody's at.

☀ Since we got a lot of new players recently, I wanted to bring up the lore page again. All the information there can be handwaved so your character knows, or you can charge in blind. December will be lighter on plot since there's so much pending already, and I hadn't expected the game to grow this big or be this fast. That said, please do investigations if you're interested, I love terrorizing everybody's characters.

IC

☀ Six silver coins have been gathered and sent to the coffin, and in return, the characters receive a note, written in a foreign script that only Hamtaro (npc) is able to read. He summarizes the note as follows: the writer ("Princess Stephanie Astrapia" aka "Maggie") thanks everybody for their contributions, expresses her excitement in getting to meet everyone, and to introduce them to her friends and family. She will see them all "soon." ... In the last few days of a month, a number of new people show up in town, lost and confused, but no princess, and no townspeople. More information about the results of the sacrifices and the status of both Wave and Albedo will be given in Saturday's event log.

☀ The end of the month draws to a close, and at the stroke of midnight, the church bursts into flames. Over the next few days, the fire grows and grows, like a beacon reaching towards the heavens, although the church itself doesn't seem to burn away, standing undamaged within the flames. Can't say the same for any character who decides to walk inside a burning building, though.

☀ A heavy snowstorm hits town the first weekend of the month, aka event log day, extinguishing the church fire and making the town look almost monochrome under the blanket of snow. IMPORTANT: the event log will contain more information about the state of the church after the snowstorm. At least the field is frozen over, so there's no worry about grabby skeletons reaching up through the dirt. Bad news is that the frozen grass is razor sharp, prone to slicing open any unprotected skin that brushes against it.

☀ At night, the snow reflects the moon's light and makes the nights brighter, the fog thinner, monsters more easily seen... and in turn, it being easier for the monsters to spot your character and attempt to lock eyes with them. Characters who engage in a staring contest with a monster will eventually lose unless they don't need to blink, because the monsters also don't need to blink. Those characters will turn into stone for the duration of the night until they unfreeze at dawn.

☀ With the first snowfall, the temperature keeps falling and falling. By mid-month, the lake will completely freeze over, great for ice skating and/or zipping across the ice with the exciting prospect of finding out what's on the other side of the lake. Spoilers: there is no other side of the lake. Just as if the characters were to follow the train tracks on either side, the lake seems to expand endlessly, although it gets darker and darker the further one goes. They can slide out there for hours, but it'll take the same number of hours to slide back. If characters want to explore the lake, better do it in the first half of the month, unless they want to painstakingly chip away bits of ice to tunnel down through it.

☀ At some point during the month, players have the option of regaining a memory for their character. The requirements for this memory are that:
1) the memory is 100% fake,
2) it does not contradict any existing memories including the altered one, and
3) it's a happy memory.
This memory can be triggered at any time during the month by a sight or smell associated with it, and characters who have regained the false memory will find that their gemstone is partially restored, although with clear stone instead of its original colors. Characters from last month had found their gemstones chipped, with black edges, and while the clear stone may replace the chip, the black edges will remain.
Merry Christmas! your present is lies.

Linking a compilation of General Questions from questions threads from the various event/mini-event posts for easier search. I plan to update this once a week to add in new questions I see but feel free to put in anything I missed too.

I tried not to add anything that was event specific (like coffin or shadow hound things) but I'll add it if I think it can still be relevant in the future. Though if you think it would be better I can just put them in separate sheets. Thanks!

diluc ragnvindr >> genshin impact

[personal profile] anbruch 2022-12-01 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
GAME SPECIFIC:
‣ Diluc currently lives in Poppy Hall with Kaeya Alberich ([personal profile] icespy).
‣ There are no established neighbors yet for them yet, so I'm open to suggestions! I am sure Octa is too, but feel free to hit us both up to make sure.
‣ Diluc (reluctantly) has a phone. He will not use it as much as possible and tends to prefer writing missives. More on that later.
‣ Diluc's memories of his father and his potential involvement with the Fatui has been altered significantly. As a result, he bears a heftier grudge against them than usual.
‣ He has also forgotten he hates alcohol. He is a lightweight (which, coincidentally, he has also forgotten).


PERMISSIONS & STATS:
‣ Diluc has a very detailed page that contains all the information you might want to know about him here.
‣ If you want to know anything else about him or need to ask me a question, you can find all the information you need at the link above as well.
‣ I have one trigger that I detail on there that I request to be warned for (CSA, references to, etc.) in threads with me. Otherwise, I don't have any other ones! I just appreciate a head's up.
‣ Uhhhhh, that's about it for right now. Haha.

Sans | Undertale

[personal profile] ribticklers 2022-12-01 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Sans's LV/EXP perception permissions post. If you opt in, he can see if you've murdered people, hooray!

Age: 30 (or maybe 31, since I guess technically he's had a birthday here, but it hasn't actually been a full year for him)
Birthday: November 2
Height: 4'0"
Weight: 15-20lbs
Pronouns: he/his

Sans lives in Poppy Hall with Papyrus. He does not have a network phone; he's reliant on Papyrus to get inside at night. If he had to he would absolutely just follow someone inside one of the bigger residence halls to avoid having to deal with the fog all night though.

Kuja - Final Fantasy IX

Permissions page here with plenty of info of appearance, powers, and anything else you might wanna know.

24, born in June | 205cm / 6'7" | he/him and is the least cis man to ever live | no phone


Lives in a nondescript two-story house far away from the residence halls. Some NPC is probably gonna come back one day and try to get their house back from him. To this Kuja says, "lmao."

Visual Changes

Kuja's canon clothes took a significant beating, so he doesn't wear them out very often (save the boots and gloves, those are fine). He's been able to pull them into shape enough to be, like, decent if he WANTS to wear the outfit (...as decent as Kuja ever dresses) but they're still a sorry state, honestly....

He's also lost a good few feathers from his big pretty crest, and has about 3-4 new red feathers (his natural hair color) growing in to replace them. Longest one is uhhh. 2 inches rn i guess. They're still pretty wickle but are getting more prominent! For now he's just vibing to see if he wants to change their color to match the rest.
