FEBRUARY PLOTTING

ooc

☀ Hi friends! As noted earlier last month, Austice now operates on an invite system without a player cap. More information is given on the game info and application pages.

☀ A game calendar has been added to the ooc community for a quick view of what posts/events are coming up. For any event or player plot that affects the game as a whole, please let me know so I can update the calendar!

☀ I sat and thought about investigations a little more and I'm going to change things around a little this month to see how it works. For February, investigations during the first three days after the event goes up (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) will be limited to players who did not participate in any investigations last month to initiate, although any character can be included. After the first three days, any character can initiate an investigation. Instead of a monthly limit, I'm going to set it so that characters can be involved in only one investigation at a time, aka they will have to finish an investigation first before tackling another.

☀ Please check out the ooc comm for some new player plots! This month's event log will be light (I know I keep saying this) to allow characters the chance to unwind a little, as not to overshadow this month's player plots. The event will go up this Saturday, whenever I get up in the morning.

coordination! I tend to only accept friend reqs if we have on-going CR just to keep my plurklist tidy, but you can PP me any day.
Character/Canon: Arashi Narukami from Ensemble Stars!! is the most beautiful person in the entire world, according to her... Confident and sociable, she's the type of girl who tends to make friends easily. She also has a pretty bad habit of playing the neutral party and acting as a mediator, but look, sometimes your first priority is just keeping everyone friendly. Unfortunately she missed Christmas so she's making Valentine's Day everyone's problem, she love loves, sue her.
Plans: Right now she's a ghost. I'm pretty sure she won't be a ghost for the rest of February, though even if she was, it would not stop the little romance workshop she has going on around the middle of the month! Other than that, she's still new so she's still adjusting to things... Don't ask her why she disappeared last month before the meeting, it's fine, it's okay. It's fine!

I'll also be throwing some of her memories into the communal memory pot for Zazo's event over yonder, I just need to figure them out... and I'm open to doing closed threads for those too, so HMU if you want any flavor in particular!
Others: What do people usually put here... I like all kinds of CR so bring me whatever you can give me, sure, let's go with that.

comment to put my ducks in order this month... edit as i go......

Character/Canon: He's the runaway monarch of a remote village who went to the city to become an idol, but failed because capitalism. Now he's trying again, letting loose with this new crazy af personality and everything, HOWEVER he has to square off against his brother Hiiro, who just wants him to go home and succeed their father. He pretends to be awful to protect himself and the people he cares for, but he's kind at heart. He likes gambling. There's more on his app, which is in his journal.

Plans: Rinne is a ghost right now, so I have nothing except the drama of the aftermath of his and Hiiro's deaths. I don't have concrete plans on how I want to do that, though.

Gonna focus on tagging everything back at the moment since I've had to make major life adjustments for the past two weeks, but I'll definitely be around for memshare and speed dating and other things.

Others: his memshare plotting link is here! I might not go with all of the memories I listed, only the ones that people are interested in.

please

Character/Canon: Hiiro Amagi from Ensemble Stars!!
He's very friendly and approachable, but also still doesn't know a lot of things about the world due to only having been outside his village for less than a year, and actually integrating with society properly for like... less than half a year. He's very loving and protective of those he cares about, and will fight those who try to hurt or insult them. He's a skilled hunter-gatherer, and will sometimes make stuff for other people like shoes and hats and scarves or bows or whatever, but not as pretty as a professional. He's smart, but also gullible, and may overwork himself if no one stops him.

Some Austice development has affected that unwavering confidence of his, and also amped up his recklessness as well as poor habits from pre-canon manifesting. Now that he's died and Ib's gone, I'm waiting to see what happens to people who were not apped (I assume they were not able to board the train?) before I make plans. However, either way, Hiiro is going to be more subdued in February due to the loss of his little sister and his best friend.

Plans: I'm taking that opportunity to slow down too, because I overdid it in January and I want to try to tame my inbox until then. So I'll be doing closed threads only. Feel free to toss ideas at me for what our characters can do, but as much as possible, I'd like a concrete idea rather than whatever goes just because I want to make sure I'm not overloading myself. I'll probably pick at the memory threads others have and see how I can join romantic plot despite Hiiro not feeling the love in the air, but I'll work on that when the time comes.

If you want to drop our previous threads, feel free to do so especially if they're from December or earlier. I'm okay with handwaving some of them to a conclusion if people need to start anew instead. Thanks!

Character/Canon: also known as the Spindrift Knight, eula is one of the captains in the knights of favonius in mondstadt. she's also the heir of a disgraced clan that used to rule their land with an iron fist, and even though it's been thousands of years since they were overthrown, the townspeople aren't going to let her forget it anytime soon. she's as ice-cold as her element and not to mention her obsession with vengeance, but she's generally very nice and not to mention a very talented dancer in her spare time -- that she currently forgot. whoops!

Plans: HONESTLY i wanna take it easy this month bc 1) i have so many backtags to hit back and 2) eula's going thru it after all that. i rly want some hurt/comfort stuff, make her open up a little... i will be doing some closed memshares and maybe drag her to the vday celebrations even though she'll be very awkward in it so please hang out w her u_u

OH YEAH and she did say that she'll want to kickstart training for the non-combatants so there will be a log for that too! stay tuned, hehe

Others: here's what i have for memshares but it isn't a lot... too lazy to put down a meme rn, gomen

kanetsugu, Joy#8142 or pms to this journal all work fine. Friending is also fine.

Character/Canon: Ex-delinquent trying to be an honor student, despite being dumb and fighty on occasion. Deuce is airheaded and earnest, with a tendency to be a little impulsive sometimes. He's also a wizard in training and can do all kinds of things like fly on broomsticks and summon cauldrons.

Plans: I apped in during the tail end of January so I've been trying to get my bearings. I'll be trying to poke my head into whatever event in order to give him some direction this month. It probably took Deuce a few days to calm down from his "omg impromptu isekai adventure of the unfun variety" panic.

Others: I'm blanking right now.

laffite (i prefer pm/dm over plurk because i can keep track of it better)

Character/Canon: leona kingscholar is from twisted wonderland, where you as the player character is accidentally brought to night raven college as a new student. unfortunately, you also aren't a mage and a bit of an oddity, but that's also what makes you capable of handling all the various issues that plague the campus. leona is introduced in the second chapter. his focus is to have his particular house (savanaclaw) win the yearly spelldrive tournament, but he knows that every year they get their asses beat by a better dorm despite their best efforts. so THIS year, they decide to cheat. :) they do not succeed.

leona is also the second prince of his homeland, the sunset savanna. because of this, he will never be king as his older brother has also had a son. does this sound familiar to like some kind of plot from a disney movie??? weird. anyway, so there's totally no correlation between having amazing efforts and strength and capabilities yet all of them being wasted because of circumstances he FEELS he can't get around. SO. yeah. bummer. at least he's hot and that's probably the best part about him. leona is a surly, sarcastic, and generally unhappy guy in canon. he believes in the idea of "survival of the fittest" and isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to win. that means if he has to have someone do pretty horrible things on behalf to keep his image clean, then he'll do it. on the other hand, leona also is shown to "love" his nephew (not simba)... and actually kind of does? there are some obvious parallels to scar and leona, but they're not all direct.

here, leona's a little nicer. has more appreciation for siblings. maybe he misses his own a little. maybe he's getting more and more mad when he sees the siblings in game get along. who knows. :)

Plans: this month, i'm going to try to be active in the romance and the mem share events! i say try because i'll also be a little busy in the middle of feb, but it shouldn't slow me down too much. overall i'd like to make this month a little more chill as well.

find me on those event posts when i get to them (or just ping me wherever)

also, leona got his staff back... it's neat. he won't be relying on his pen as much, instead opting to wave a stick around.

Others: there's an event coming up in jp twst and he looks so gorgeous.

Character/Canon: Byleth Eisner, aka Ashen Demon, from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. This is the Byleth that didn't go to Garreg Mach, so is still a very reserved, poorly socialised mercenary, who really wants to make friends but struggles with both parsing his own emotions, and expressing himself. He's a decent guy, though. Just, a bit too blunt for his own good.

Plans: Since he was rescued from the Island, to build CR and get him settled into the Nest! So far he's going to be helping Eula out with training people on how to fight, and there's a Lost & Found thing I'm gonna do with him, for those interested. This month I'm just gonna let him gather CR, hit his own rhythm, etcetera.

Others: Someone get this man a cheesecake please. Ala tempted him with one but she didn't deliver. Sadness.

Character/Canon: Andy Hinomiya from ZKC. He's a power nullifier from a world full of espers, who are also discriminated against by Normals (those without powers and who are in the majority). Andy is also an ex-spy and while he seems deceptively normal and well-adjusted... he's a hot mess. Guy is like a cosmic punching bag yet somehow remains a decent guy? Andy how.

Plans: Andy's in that sweet spot of he gets involved enough but he tries not to be too involved fhdfdfh I'm always up for more CR with him, and he's a professional dogsbody, so if anyone legit needs helping moving things, or building things, or just needs a grunt, Andy's your guy! He's also good at playing the straight man to people's shenanigans.

Others: Still can't believe this guy was gonna strip during the NHIE night.

Character/Canon: Barnaby Brooks Jr. / Tiger & Bunny
Plans: I have a few ideas for the memshare event, which is ideal because Barnaby doesn't like to talk about the darker parts of his past much and he's basking in the fact his entire life story isn't public knowledge here. TIME TO CHANGE THAT and dredge up all the deets that would never come out otherwise... :') He'll generally try and avoid viewing CR's memories on purpose, though, because memory intrusion is something of a trigger for him and he wouldn't want to inflict that on other people. I'm open to him accidentally stumbling into someone's memories, though.

He won't be involved in the Valentine's Day stuff ~~because he'll plan a romantic evening with Kotetsu~~ but I'd love any general opportunities to build new or existing CR this month! In general he'll be sticking to his duties of patrolling the town and he tends to keep active to keep himself in fighting form, so it's not difficult to find him.

Others:

Wouldn't it be funny if their first meeting (unless we count tdm i dunno if we count it) was them getting speed dated together and they just talk about muscles?

Character/Canon: Kaname Tojo from Ensemble Stars!! ...... is a one shot character essentially I'm sorry if I've fooled anyone otherwise. He has one story to himself and information about him is otherwise scattered across various mentions, a favorite being how he once drew a senior of his with six wings and the power to destroy anyone if he opened his eyes -- from which he would gain yet another mole. Kaname acts selfishly, has a higher opinion of himself than he should outwardly, and is in general a brat who's gotten into more fights here than he has friendly instances... but at heart he's a good kid who works really hard for what he's got, takes the shortest paths to his goals, and genuinely believes that everyone should be able to do what they want and be happy doing it.

That belief is put in the reasoning of "If others can't, then what about me" but he goes through a lot to make sure that everyone, everyone can have that sort of future -- Kaname is an idealistic young man, though easily battered at his core and reacts very badly to rejection and abandonment of any kind.

In Austice, he goes by "Yodaka" (as in The Nighthawk Star) and is currently suffering from "freedom". The fact he can make friends is terrifying. The fact people want to be his friend is terrifying. He has never had a friend (in title) and he isn't sure he wants to start now, because bad fortune has only ever come upon those around him and boy if that has not stopped here! Additionally, and most importantly, is that he looks exactly like his older brother HiMERU save for some notable differences such as hair, height, and naturally the moment he opens his mouth it's "I" and not "HiMERU".

... sometimes he does still slip into that role, though, when he's nervous, so chars familiar can note how easily he "mimics" his brother too.

Plans: Right now!!!! He is a judge for the romance workshop Arashi's holding due to owing her some stuff! Please come and bring your best to embarrass him. Feelings are not his forte and he's sixteen years old he'll get flustered with a good enough poem and yes he'll be pissed about it. But Kaname does have to be a good boy.

ummm I won't be doing much memshare with him outside of cast actually, because I'd like him to be able to unwind more and get... used to his new home... he misses the island actually it 1. was warm 2. had sugar 3. had stars yes it was doomed and he nearly died on it but see the three points? He misses those. He misses them a lot. But!!!! I'm always up for throwing him around at new things since Kaname likes to broaden his horizons "as an idol" so he can one day feel good enough about himself to be equal to the two most important people in the world to him: his brother and his not-friend-not-crush-person who his brother hates and has banned Kaname from interacting with but Kaname has definitely not been following that particularly order and now it is only going to be easier and also harder to have a tryst or two.

anyway no one tell HiMERU okay. if you see him with someone he shouldn't be no you did not.
Others:

we'll see if i actually use this... no replies

I mean that would be funny as hell.

And as for the tdm I'm not sure if we do especially since Hiiro kinda died.

we can just restart so deuce doesnt have any feelings about ghosts i guess

That would be good and that way Deuce won't have tried to cauldron him.

Character/Canon: Qiqi (Genshin Impact) is a quiet, taciturn young girl who also happens to be dead. She has significant memory problems, but is very accustomed to dealing with it. She's an airy, emotionally stable character who sometimes gets up to some truly oddball shit.

Kuja (Final Fantasy IX) is ~~the platonic ideal of a queer-coded villain~~ a theatrical, childish man with a giant pile of neurosis hidden under a veneer of noble airs. He's dying and making it everyone's problem this month. After the memshare plot, he's going to be very depressed and dampened because he finally accepts he's trapped here For Real and is convinced he's going to lose himself and there's little he can do about it, one way or another.

Plans: hoo boy

Qiqi I am going to focus on tagging out with more.

On the 11th, Kuja is going to enter Trance for the first time since he got here, and try to end reality again. It won't be obvious that's what he's doing, at least, because 'plan: end existence' mostly just makes everyone's memories start scattering around like he's beating up a feather pillow.

If anyone is interested in being part of Kuja going into Trance, let's please plot! I don't have a set in stone solution to it yet other than knowing "it needs to happen the evening of the 11th." My current idea is he checks on his gem when a thread brings up the topic after forgetting to for a long time, and all of the damage it's taken since he last looked at it is gonna trigger a lot of emotions he's been barely keeping his chin above/bring enough Genuine Immediate Fear For His Life it'll can provoke a Trance.

After that, Andy's gonna nerf his magic for a while and Kuja's gonna be epic depresso, dramatically opposed to his normal flamboyant behavior. Which means me dragging him into the V-Day event will be hilarious.

Others: i just had a major life shift lmao so im probably gonna have more free time now

:3

if you wanna have a character witness some of kuja's memories, here's his open memories list. particularly i would love if word got out more publicly that he's essentially vivi's dad from the memory re: that.

qiqi's is on the way!!

Character/Canon: Marcus Grimm/Tales of the Rays.

Tired team mom to a bunch of Tales villains (feat. Mithos, Sync, and Barbatos among others) and a manifestation of part of Phil's heart. He's an all-purpose handyman, a decent cook, and is pretty good-natured considering he was a minor antagonist for an entire arc. If you want a chill guy who will look out for others and may do a bit of murder on the side, he's your man.

Plans:
- he'll be tossing memories into the memshare! I'll be getting back to everyone here, HMU if you want anything specific.
- I have investigation ambitions this month! Anyone who needs a little extra muscle for anything, existing CR or not, give him a whistle.

Others: SLOW. I am going to be so slow. I'm doing some job contract shuffling and have a million doctor visits, so I'm very sorry in advance. I happily backtag forever BUT if it's been more than 72 hours by all means feel free to poke me. It's entirely possible something has been lost in my general chaos.

Character/Canon: Ookurikara, Touken Ranbu! He's the spirit of a sword who used to belong to Date Masamune and he is very aloof and isn't here to make friends. Befriend him anyway, I'm begging.
Plans:

» memshares! I'd be down to make some of these interactive. Eski and I can make some of them collaborative too since Tsuru is in a lot of them but we'll play that by ear. May not use all of these, but they're options!

» He will be avoiding the romance workshop however possible... but he can be forced to go. Tsuru might do that if no one else does but make him suffer please and thank u.

» Kara would like to find out more about where Swan takes people who pay the toll, but he absolutely should not be the only person going to talk to her about this. Someone tolerable should also come so actual communication can happen.

» iiiiiiif it comes up again, he's still keeping an eye out for silver coins.

» Sword repairs! Last month was a lot and his sword needs maintenance!!

» Last but not least, Dragonchan! This is basically when his dragon tattoo decides to go on an adventure without him. Yes, it has a mind of its own and can separate from him if it wants to. It's considerably friendlier than Ookurikara himself, but it's still a part of him so he'll be looking for it... In the meantime, it can hang out with other people and be nosy! Take it places, show it around, be its friend!

Others: his hair isn't quite long enough for this in game but i kind of wish it was, it's cute??

oh my oh my god i wanna meet DRAGONCHAN

& as for memshare: for kuja he's going to be absorbing a LOT of bits of memories bcuz he's in the middle of it all, so i'd love him to experience some of kara's-- i'd wanna thread them out after the day of the event as like, dreams he's slowly processing... it's kind of a nice change of pace from kuja's recurring rose dreams tbh

i want him to see... . umeboshi... and i'd love it if kuja got like, a piece of the puzzle as to what the swords DO with the whole time fixers thing, if you have any thoughts for which memory would be best for that

YOU MAY MEET DRAGONCHAN it's very cute when it wants to be

as for memshares i'm down with that! umeboshi is pretty short and meant to be lighthearted, but for timeline stuff... there are two options here:

» Nobuyasu's death! They have a discussion about how he can't live for the sake of history and how it's their job to ensure it happens just before shit hits the fan, and the Kebiishi that shows up is basically a creature that wants to remove anything that doesn't belong in the timeline regardless of what they are. That includes Nobuyasu (for living when he should be dead), HRA (for actively trying to change the timeline), and touken danshi like Kara (for trying to put the timeline back on the right track).

If you want to cut it before the Kebiishi that's fine too!! At that point it's more... resignation that this is a thing that no one wants but must happen anyway.

» Shimabara... touches ground. There's Amakusa Shiro's death, and the others taking on that role to maintain history. And then at the very end, there's a part about a child that should have died being saved, because that one life is insignificant enough that history won't miss it too much.

So really it depends on how much death you want LKSDJFALSKDFJ the option with Nobuyasu is a big fight and it's dramatic, but Shimabara is a wholeass slaughter of tens of thousands of people, so,,,
