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:
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.

Chisato Nishikigi | Lycoris Recoil
Contact Info: PM, hibari#0001,
About Me: GMT-6. My schedule can vary from day shift to night shift, so I'm usually not on at the same time every day. Depending on how tough the weekend shift is, I don't usually roleplay - I'm always around for OOC communication and am willing to work with anything! If you add me on plurk know I cry about Dreamworks Dragons a lot. If we talk a lot on discord I am probably regularly wishing you a good day.
Character: Chisato Nishikigi
Canon: Lycoris Recoil
Elevator Pitch: An orphaned hitman trained since she was a young girl to take out Japan's terrorists. Considered the top of her organization because of her "genuis for killing" - an ability to predict an opponent's movement and react before they can do it - Chisato decided to say screw it to everyone who told her to kill and decided not to kill anyone. Acting as a non-lethal hitman, she's just as prone to triage her enemy as she is an ally. A young woman who wants to do what she wants and pulls others along with her, Chisato simply wants to have fun with the time she has left.
Plans for December: Nothing concrete at the moment! She'll be introing tomorrow (12/01). Mostly because I look at the infoshare and am overwhelmed. I'd like to focus some on CR building and getting her started! So!!

Luna would be open about the fact that she knows her way around cybernetic enhancements and implantations, if that's something that Chisato would want to talk to her about if whatever is going on with her heart starts to become a problem. handshake emoji dot jpeg on having outr electronics starting to give out....
no subject
I'm not sure how confident she would be to work at a clinic - she would in a pinch! She'd definitely try to help get whatever they needed, but she'd be a good point of contact in an emergency - yes!
handshake emoji when the robotics start crashing...
Chisato would be! Moderately interested especially since I think??? I remember seeing Luna is an actual robot and while her heart's considered super hi-tech robots still aren't anything like that. So she'd be interested in learning about Luna (and also not treat her any differently since... sometimes that's a thing people do and all). She's not someone who won't talk about her heart, but doesn't bring it up unless prompted/relevant... But also given things she'll also be thinking about it.

...but only once, just to see what she can do! I promise all he wants to do is play games and do crazy shit otherwise. He is just a skilled fighter (don't ask why) and he is bored. He's pretty proactive in the plotty side of things, so if you need anyone to drag her into investigations, he can do it. Even if they're not close.
His entire thing is also about making the most of your youth, etc. But he's not quite there yet due to memloss stuff... Just some CR hooks if you're interested!
no subject
She doesn't mind fighting to settle disputes and doesn't back down from a challenge so it can be Arranged. We'll have to find a way for it to happen sometime! She's not going to immediately going looking for trouble but she's... definitely a trouble finds her kind of character sometimes since she can't leave someone in trouble :') but please drag her into investigation things I think they'll be fun!!
We can get him back to making the most of your youth. Chisato takes things seriously but she also just has Fun and drags people with her if she can manage it given her own situations. Come ice skating with her, Rinne!!!
