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.

Contact info: PM or
About me: HELLO. I am in EST (GMT-5), but I tend to keep weird hours because I work as a closer for a Popular Coffee Chain. Anyone in the game is free to add me on plurk. I am mostly screaming about Enstars these days but some other stuff I like includes Tokusatsu, Gravity Falls, Pandora Hearts, and i will sometimes post my art or cosplay stuff.
Character: Mayoi Ayase
Canon: Ensemble Stars!!
Brief Description: Mayoi is a weird little guy who would rather escape into the ceiling than have a conversation with a person. He's a great big Phantom of the Opera reference but without the chandelier dropping and despite being an unsocialized weirdo he is actually a very kind and gentle person who likes to help others. He is actually giant doting mom friend when he isn't screaming and climbing around in the rafters of the church.
He is also an idol and his unit's trainer and has one of the most powerful voices in the franchise.
Plans for December
- I am going to get a log together for Mayoi's stockpile project. Any newbies can also assume they were directed towards him for supplies and necessities since he has been working on inventorying everything.
- I would like to do an Idol Post sometime soon because we have so many idols and everyone is having a rough time. Everyone could stand to watch some pretty people sing to take their minds off being in hell.
- It is going to be too cold to do it this month but Mayoi wants to start gathering stuff for gardening. I think we have some people in the game that might be interested in a gardening project.

idk come at me nerds.

Mayoi please, the church is on fire
But jokes aside, I assume he's finding other places to do his lurking. I can see Papyrus lending help to the garden project, and getting a little over enthusiastic about it by dropping off helpful things like a huge pile of dirt somewhere dirt's not wanted...
Is the idea for a more decorative or more food-focused garden?
no subject
Yes, he is the type to find his way into all kinds of places so he definitely has several other hidey-holes all over town.
Please help him with the garden. Such a helpful skeleton friend....
Food-focused! But honestly this place could use some color so flowers are not a no. A tea garden is also on the list too, since canon decided to drop "Mayoi grows his own tea ingredients because his constitution is so fucking delicate otherwise" on me last night so i have that to work with now.
no subject
But yeah, helpful, friendly, keeping busy to avoid the existential dread, it all blends together! He's happy to take on various projects to help people - and to help matter to them.
And that's fun - ironically and conveniently enough, Papyrus's gardening experience is focused on a type of flower used in-game for tea!
