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.

diluc ragnvindr | genshin impact | din
Pronouns: They/them/theirs
Contact Info: I prefer contact on Plurk (
Time Zone: EST (GMT-5/-4).
About Me: I work full time and sometimes my weeks can vary in terms of need and intensity. As we get closer to the holidays, I'm likely to be called on to put out metaphorical fires more often. I'm hoping to take a few days off here and there to decompress later on, but we'll see. I work with adults who (usually) require very complex care. As a result, sometimes I'll get to tag a lot or tag very little because of the nature of my role. But, I'm typically spotted at night during the week. I can be a little slow, but backtags are my bread and butter.
Also, I try to be as accommodating as possible when it comes to RP. If you just want to chat or want to plot something out with me, feel free to flag me down. I'm old and tired, but I often pebble people with shitty memes and fanart when they befriend me. Ask anyone who knows me well. That's about 50% of my communication.
Character: Diluc Ragnvindr
Canon: Genshin Impact
Plans for December: These are mostly formless at the moment, as I will need to see what kind of information comes out on the event post. Otherwise:

that being said we can absolutely make use of what we're given in the log to find a reason for more interaction, and wave will definitely want alcohol so she'd put on her big girl panties and Deal With It so!! let's gooooo
no subject
also please he can be a gentleman when he isn't flustered or needled... eula and diluc same broad strokes so it ought to be funny when she sees there's two of them.
(no subject)

Maybe he can catch him doing work on the tavern or something? I'm open to anything, really.
no subject
and yes! that would be great (re: the tavern)! i am sure he and kaeya will have talked (""talked"") about his reaction to seeing him. he still doesn't know that diluc knows about his origins and that he was able to add 2 + 2 here haha. so, that'll be Interesting certainly. just casually servin' this dude... holdin' this secret like:🧍♂️
no subject
Makes sense re: the talking. THOUGH THE IRONY BEHIND HIM KNOWING...I'm crying and laughing. Honestly, typical Diluc, I love it
no subject
also YAYAYA i'm glad you're glad i'm very excited!!
no subject
Surely he can use an idol or something to make the tavern livelier.

hiiro will help in any way he can in exchange for a warm drink
no subject
no subject
and yes that would so cute... he will likely warm up to her eventually and will probably share things eventually that would give her some information on what to at least avoid (don't be him!!!).
no subject
I feel like their interests are kind of lined up in a non-linear way that will make for some fun conversations, so I'm happy to just see where the conversations go, but I'm sure they will be fun until Azusa randomly starts talking about love fortunes

... she'd definitely be interested in learning to defend herself better ngl, considering her backstory. especially since one of her hands no longer works
(no subject)
no subject
besides that though i do think kara and diluc could vibe... they're both the mostly stoic types, both very serious and hardworking, so i feel like they'd get along okay?
no subject
and please yes i feel like they can be their outwardly stoic and hardworking selves around each other and understand the Vibe (the vibe is that it is to disguise a different interior - at least in diluc's case lol when the game calls him out for being a big softie)
no subject
also yea same hat here!!! kara's whole thing is he's like this because he's afraid of loving people and being hurt or abandoned but like. give him a cute animal or a rubber duckie and he will melt, and he's deeply devoted when he does care for someone. diluc Gets It

that said they can definitely sulk about in the night and spiderman meme at each other or... or... once the tavern gets up and running, akira can work at the bar for him making drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and maybe they can get into somehow swinging for coffee also? because alcohol and juice are great, but what about the rest???
he's also going to be involved in helping with a greenhouse... why is he so busy... and will spend some of his (limited) spare time foraging for possible goods to use in drinks.
