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.

☀ 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:
Merry Christmas! your present is lies.

☀ 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.2) it does not contradict any existing memories including the altered one, and
3) it's a happy memory.

That being said, let me know if you want to do anything when Wave returns to the town (assuming that happens sometime soon-ish, I'm waving my hands around so hard right now yelling about RP timelines being wibbly-wobbly). I'm more than happy to take just placeholder "let's do something!" right now, considering!
Right now Wave is A Mess, because she's been dealing with two years of emotional manipulation and abuse and she keeps ping-ponging between wanting to be herself because she's got some measure of freedom here and trying to protect herself from when things inevitably come crashing down because Clearly They Will. I'm down for pretty much any sort of CR for her, whether that's cute things that help her or negative awful things that lean into or take advantage of the mindset she's in. (Hey yo villains ya want someone to manipulate get on over here, it won't be that hard...)
Ultimately I want Wave to come out of her shell, because the whole Kind Benevolent Noble thing is a fucking act that she's just lived for so long it's the easy way to hide. In actuality, her morality is... a bit fucked up and she's ready to solve her problems with a dagger and some swearing. Let's merc some NPCs, why not!!
Finally, for all our new players: Wave comes with some big content warnings for emotional/mental/spousal abuse and reproductive coercion. If you need me to avoid any of these and/or would rather opt-out of interacting with Wave entirely, please feel free to hit up my opt-out!
ANYWAY, this is long for someone who isn't plotting anything quite yet but!! Feel free to add me on plurk at
PLANNING COMMENT
Current Plans: in some kind of vague-ish order...
The current list of people whose laps Wave would potentially sit on, because I think it's funny, in order as pulled from the Taken list: Rinne, Diluc, Eula, Kaeya, Tartaglia, Dimos, Kaspar, Lalli, Phil, Azusa(*), Christine(*), Ookurikara, Tsurumaru, Luna(*), Andy.
(*) Serious maybes, the reactions would be hilarious but a little less likely than the others.
Current probability of her actually doing so: Only when drinking :')

(kuja's actually going to get a memory alteration later on
as soon as it would be funny to drop a brick joke on lark about itthat will MASSIVELY change his relationship to his whole fake I Am A Noble schtick; that is, he'll remember being an unstable hanger-on in the circles of the rich and powerful trying to sway them to his ends rather than successfully clawing his way into BEING one of them. so like. doing plot between them both BEFORE this memory change and after? yum)and ofc, being our game's premier nasty faux-obsequious grifter, if you want to have Wave strung along places I'm here to 'help'. Kuja will try and push people into doing things both big and small purely for fun, to further his current Ultimate Goal of achieving a Trance, and sometimes for reason (other).
no subject
(that being said watching dusk and kuja trying to mutually manipulate one another would be hilarious af god)
but god i want to shove them together so hopefully the event will bring us opportunities for this!! please, let him find out that she's basically somewhere between a marchioness and a queen and wants to completely abandon it, it'll be fun
1/2. writing 1/2 here to let you know i intend on wording more when ive had the chance to percolate
i mean i love making AUs we could make this happen outside of austice sometime as an AU in wave's canon or something/if you don't rp dusk (understandably) we could hash out what it would be like. plus... i wonder if the austice fake memories will ever apply to cross canon cr..............................
thumbs up
and honestly depending on how stuff goes i may use memories with him for the memshare thing you were considering plotting! so there'd be a chance for him to pop up there too 8>
no subject
&
YES the memshare thing is still absolutely happening!! i'm thinking of it for february, when the cast's had a chance to become more connected as people but also before its too far in the game's run. kuja's going to have SUCH a migraine from standing in the apex of all those memories lmao. he'll probably see a few more than other people do but only slowly process them becuz he was focused on [waves hands] at the time.... he's gonna be having WEIRD
er than usualdreams after that lmao, i'd so be up for having wave's be one of the ones he experiencesno subject
no subject
that would be like. a fantastic thing to do post-mortem after mini-memoria in the following days... lingering effect of him trying to fuck with reality.....
