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.

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:
About me?: I'm GMT+8 so hello fellow Asians! I'm online as long as I'm awake but I don't usually tag until evening for me. This might change next year since I will most likely return to office and have no access to my phone the whole day, but I'm here for this month at least. I'm always up for ideas and plots, and will welcome all newbies with open arms.
Character: Hiiro Amagi
Canon: Ensemble Stars!!
Brief Description: Hiiro is a teenage idol who came from an extremely remote village and lived there for most of his life. His village is basically a feudal monarchy martial arts hunting village and Hiiro himself acts more like a hunting dog than a person sometimes, but he is friendly and sweet to those he likes and acts like a wary cat around those he doesn't trust. He can sense good or bad jujus! Don't ask how, he can glance at someone and know they are like a murderer or god or whatever... don't worry, he's wrong sometimes or just accepts that and becomes friends anyway.
He is the second son of the monarch so he was trained to be extremely subservient to his brother as his protector and aide, but he's trying not to fall into those habits. It also explains why he sometimes doesn't know how to make his own decisions, or may overdo things for the sake of those he wants to protect. His extremely dense on a lot of things because he was never exposed to them, but he is an eager learner. He's an adept hunter, tracker and martial artists. He once fought 100 people blindfolded!
... Yes, this is about idols I swear.
Plans for December: I went way too hard in November so I'm dying under tag hell so I plan on slowing down significantly for December. That said, I'm always up for new CR and want to work on building his CR.
PLANNING COMMENT
- Hunting for honey with Yuri, except it involves huge bees
- Niki/Eula/Hiiro forest investigation and chance encounter with Smokey the 15 foot bear with an ankylosaurus back.
- Find Azusa... give directions... find her again...
- Sonic-level sledding with Azuza and Sonic
no subject
Since it's winter, I want them to go sledding together or something. Something cute... After they all nearly got mauled by a bear...
no subject
me all are they sledding off the roof like how bad is this idea except i want it to be cute...
no subject
They can make snowmen!! Would they have made snowmen before, idk. Either way Rinne can kidnap Hiiro for fun stuff and they can talk about what happened at the forest...
no subject
I feel Rinne would have tried to teach him so he learns how to act like a regular child but then gets a cold for it because he's weak to temperature.
Also me trying to imagine how this kidnapping goes...
no subject
They can have their first snowball fight, then. Rinne will bait Hiiro with hugs idk it's hard to catch him off guard otherwise...

The Matoba clan essentially operate like an archaic samurai archer clan, so they probably can find a lot in common.............. including that they're modern(!) boys with these weird backgrounds. I need to have Matoba totally blindsided by idol boys that have weirdly familiar backgrounds, please!
Unfortunately he also carries a lot of bad juju, so, wiggles hand
no subject
I wanted to comment to your plot post but got shy because he is just a normal(?) boy but I want this CR.
no subject
luckily for them they're all just normal humans though (....they are all normal humans, r-right,) so Matoba doesn't have any ill will towards them! He's happy to chat up some upstanding youths!
no subject
they are humans! whether they are normal or not is debatable, but they're humans! he will accept matoba with open(ish) arms!
