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.

Contact Info: PM, ♡ Tulip ♡#6969 (disc),
About Me: M/25/PST. Basically just trying to get by after my life fell apart this year. My interests include anime, video games, and shitposting. I have a work at home job so I can post pretty frequently between calls! I'm easily drawn to terrible little men or gremlins.
Character: Kokichi Oma
Canon: Danganronpa Series/Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
Plans for December:
Kokichi is more or less trying to survive right now. He has insufferable 'Stick My Goddamn Nose Into Everything' disease so getting him involved in anything is pretty easy - he'll do it on a whim. He's smart and capable of solving puzzles and he has light hacking knowledge, but it's nothing compared to more experienced sorts.
He's also terrible at making friends. He kinda blew up at Sans in the last meeting (though they both kind of Get It) and he's been on-edge with others at times, though some like Aoi and Azusa have cut through his defenses. Despite this, he lives with Aoi and Rantaro and he's going to start to squat at Albedo and Venti's more frequently, especially since he's going to take up casually flirting with both. He'll also be learning to bake from Azusa and working at the bakery! Wow.
The memory Kokichi gets is going to be a memory of apologies after the 4th trial. After Shuichi blew up at him and told him 'you'll always be alone', he ran away...but with this alteration, Shuichi found him later, apologized, and made him feel safe. That terrified him, in a way, because he knew he couldn't get attached...furthering his betrayal later. It's a happy memory, but it hurts. And it's fake.
Oh yeah, also, he's promised to teach Kuja the meaning of Christmas. Help him out, folks. Dah-who-doris and all that.
I'm open to suggestions here.
Character: Anya Forger
Canon: Spy x Family
Plans for December:
Anya is...beginning to worry. Her Mama and Papa have not arrived yet. She's not sure what's taking them so long, but worse, Tenn has gone missing - and that's the first person she really felt safe with here. As a result, she'll be more attached to Haruka and more nervous about losing others. There's a certain unease building in her. She's also had to go through a couple long days and has a newfound rivalry with birds...who either think she is An Enemy or think she is A Baby. They either hate her or wish to feed her bugs, neither of which are things she's happy with.
If you want a little baby psychic to show up at your door, she'll be seeking further companionship. Let's be friends. She's shaped like a friend. Also, she's 6, being mean to her is probably illegal somehow but you can try.
Her fake memory is going to be a nice day with Becky Blackbell, her best friend. She'll have hinted at her powers to Becky while they're on the swings, and Becky will have smiled and told her "No matter what's up with you, Anya, I'll always be your friend. We'll always be together. Promise." Which will no doubt make Anya miss her a fair bit more than she already does. It's happy, but it hurts.
Again, open to suggestion here.
PLANNING COMMENT FOR KOKICHI, DO NOT RESPOND
PLANNING COMMENT FOR ANYA, DO NOT RESPOND

2) okay but i kinda actually do wanna do the "anya knocks on kuja's door becuz its dark and scary out and he actually lets her sleep over" thing. maybe we can handwave that into canon if that wouldn't be fun to thread out.
3) kuja is potentially going to be sticking his nose into aoi's business a good deal and kokichi is probably going to notice!
no subject
meanwhile aoi is determined to get one of the protection amulet exoflect copies to anya especially because *shes six.*
