AUGUST PLOT POST

MONTHLY PLOT POST

PLOT POST - AUGUST Welcome to our August plotting post! Please feel free to comment to these posts with your character's plans for the month or with what you would like to do for the month, and feel free to discuss those plans with everyone else! Here is the mod questions thread! MOD BULLETIN BOARD -After the overall success of this last AC period, we will be making the minor adjustments needed in our verbiage for clarity purposes and moving forward from here! Check out this post about some AC guidelines and notes. We hope to have a revised version of our AC expectations outlined in the next week or so long before the next AC period. -As notated in the post linked above, we are looking for some AC helpers! If you would like to assist, please send a PM or a comment to the mod contact. We will address those interested shortly! -With a TDM coming this month, we would like to remind players that all current characters may use any tags on the TDM as bonus points! Players apping new characters this round may report their TDM tags on their very first AC for bonus points as well. -As mentioned previously, we will have an opportunity for a monthly freebie every month going forward! However, we would like to clarify that all freebie regains must be applied for before the end of the AC period! We do not accept freebies beyond this barring specific circumstances. -Additionally, please remember there is no limit to how many regains you can earn in a month! Though you need one for your AC, you're free to claim as many as allotted for the month so you have time to pick and choose which one to link for AC. -Please be sure to keep your registries up to date with both memories and abilities! A good habit to get into is updating your registry as soon as the notification from us is received. This not only helps you remember what your character already knows, but it also helps us so that we can judge future regains accordingly based on what your character has already obtained. -Our last note for the bulletin board is a friendly reminder to please use your character tags to tag yourself on posts and logs! This helps keep things organized not only for us but for your gamemates as well. In addition, if there is an error with your character tag or you need us to change anything, please let us know. IMPORTANT DATES 1st AC Results 3rd Retrospec Post, Event Logs, Task 1 Start (9PM EST) 10th AU Workshop, Task 1 End (8PM EST), Task 2 Start (9PM EST) 17th Reserves/TDM, Task 2 End (8PM EST), Task 3 Start (9PM EST) 24th Applications Open, Task 3 End (8PM EST), End of plot log 25th Retrospec Post 31st AC Due, Applications Close see our calendar for a look at upcoming dates this month and further! WORLD CHANGES While several world changes have been purchased and goals have been reached, none of them will be in effect until the Retrospec post on the 25th; we will detail them further at that time! This is due to the game-wide plot currently going on. -There has been a new list of karaoke songs added to the city of Recollé! These songs can now be found in karaoke bars and machines all across the city and even can be sold on CDs for your own karaoke parties. -The Crow's Nest now has locations across the world, including a brand new location right in the heart of Recollé! After August's plot wraps up, be sure to grab a bite to eat and say hi to Kenny Crow. -Finally, the city has regained the second tier for the color green! This means visual media regains the selected color. This applies to all forms of film whether watching on-screen, online, or reviewing videos PCs recorded prior to the loss of color. Be sure to check out our world changes page over here and our world regains page to track all changes. Players are free to buy back certain aspects of their canon (such as the above karaoke or fast food restaurant) to help impact and change the world as well. EVENTS This month's event is our game-wide August extravaganza in which you guys have signed yourselves up and split into groups! We will be replying to you all individually about your small groups, but for reference, here are the lists. GROUP ONE Team Absinthe: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Brandywine: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Cognac: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Daiquiri: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Ethanol: Meet and greet toplevel here. GROUP TWO Team Peter Pan: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Snow White: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Tarzan: Meet and greet toplevel here. Team Yzma: Meet and greet toplevel here. GROUP THREE Group Three Please use this post to reach out to your teammates, familiarize yourselves with them, do some light plotting or set up private plurks or discords or however you guys want to get together! Tomorrow, groups one and two will get their individual logs with more information about task one as well. Of note, please remember that groups one and three both will have access to the network and can interact with each other once the mod-posted Retrospec post goes live. Group two however will not! The entire game will have access again post-event. August's Freebie is as follows: -For characters in groups one or two, we must see ten consecutive comments from you for each task in order to qualify for a freebie memory! (So a total of 30 comments, 10 per objective week) -For characters in group three, to qualify for a freebie we ask for the same amount of comments in the same time period showing your character corresponding with someone in group one during their task weeks. This means 30 comments from you broken down into no more than 3 threads! Remember: freebies are not the only way to earn memories this month! For those in group three who would like to forgo this, you may thread as you normally do to trigger your own memories for the month. -For your reference, check out the plot clues/finds page found here! This is all for OOC knowledge, though characters have been spreading the information ICly as well. As of this post, this plot page is up to date. -Additionally, if you haven't yet be sure to check out the regains guide to help outline what kind of triggers will work for obtaining regains and memories in-game.

Leo (Fire Emblem: Fates) Adrien Agreste (Miraculous Ladybug) Tony Stark (MCU) Caelum Lunaire (Original) Roderic Pyre (Original) Garrus Vakarian (Mass Effect) Makoto Tachibana (Free!)

MOD QUESTIONS

[recollecters]

Please leave your mod questions for the month of August here!

[belligerentwarrior]

Does time pass normally for Group 2 adventures? For example, are food and water a concern over their three weeks?

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[livingdeadgirl]

1. Do IC inboxes still work for groups 1 and 3?
2. If you try to send an inbox message to a person in group 2, what happens? (Can it reach them after the plot is over or no?)

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[toobigtohandle]

Hi there,

I was away for the end of the month and as such could not sign up for anything event-wise. If I read things correctly, that means my character is automatically assigned to group 3?

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[twelfthspark]

Arlene rolled Rainbow Flight for her QR code--does this require there to already be a rainbow visible or can she generate them?

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[twelfthspark]

What's the state of the convention center? Can people get in right now, and is there anything left to investigate?

[redarm]

Just to make sure - I'm guessing any attempts done by Group 1 to locate people from Group 2 (magical or otherwise) won't work, right?

[adoringpast]

Since the items/abilities will vanish by the end of the plot, does that mean they'll vanish from photographs as well?

and by they i mean sena's cute fat pony because nooooo

[shinyidea]

Hey mods! I just wanted to ask for a clarification on objective reporting - do we report any threads that were part of the objective or just the ones directly involved in solving it?

i.e.:
for Brandywine I submitted Majima & co's math shenanigans because that helped wrt the terminal
but Mari found some stuff that didn't necessarily lead to the way out in the mines, so would i submit that?

I just want to make sure I'm reporting things correctly so it's all good for you guys to check participation and stuff on your end!

[lostapprentice]

Just to make sure I understand, with regards to the free memory regain, do characters in group 3 need a total of 30 comments (so 10 for every task week) or just 10 (for one task)?

Team Absinthe

[recollecters]

Come say hi to your teammates, let them know anything important about your character (abilities/skills/character updates, etc) and do some light plotting! However, you may wish to hold off on heavy character plotting until your log goes up tomorrow (8/3) at 9pm EST.

TEAM ABSINTHE WHERE YOU AT

Please join law professor Ardyn Izunia in your teammate shenanigans. He has some nifty healing powers, some magical hammerspace, and a shiny brand new sword at his disposal. He also likes to hear himself talk a lot and dresses amazingly.

Feel more than free to add me at aurajen for plotting purposes! I'm eager to hash things out as a team.

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah hey so I play Magilou. In terms of like, special powers and whatever, she can do ghost stuff!

Mostly though she's just like a highly intelligent memelord theater director who likes to ramble about Jung and random philosophy stuff when she's in a more serious mood.

Anyways I'm Delightifed#0892 and Delightified so if you wanna plot stuff just hit me up there.

I apologize in advance for whatever insanity Magi subjects everyone here too.

Re: Team Absinthe

[cattack]

HELLO TEAM ABSINTHE i hope this name means our characters get to get smashed

Cleo here has just regained a fancy magic motorcycle to be used for going fast and ramming shit, a fancy sword, and really shitty cure magic, so she is ready to fight anything and anyone. (9ಠ益ಠ)9 LET HER AT RETROSPEC.

I am lastbastion at plurk and lastbastion#9373 on discord!

[commandertoolbelt]

HELLO TEAM ABSINTHE

so Leo here is your regular high schooler, except he's kind of a mechanical genius and also fireproof (and has no idea). he likes to talk a lot and make bad jokes so i'm sorry for him.

My plurk is seolearo if you want to add for plotting or chatting or what have you!

[sharplydressed]

HELLO TEAM. Kashuu here might be of some use because he's well on his way to becoming a voodoo sword demon IE he can heal quickly, run fast, stab things well, and see ghosts. Good work, Kashuu. He also has a sword, weakness inducement as his gift power, and a questionable shield that can expand to reflect an attack 3 times!

Feel free to add me over at tsukumogami to plot or chat, if you'd like!

[cheetahsenpai]

Hello Team Absinthe! (I love our team name so much)

I play Youichi Kuramochi here who's a regular high school student. He doesn't have special powers, but he can run really fast. He runs so fast that his nickname is cheetah. He also knows how to use a baseball bat and can punch things so he'll be up for any of that. He's pretty chill, though it's easy to rile him up and he'll fuss at you if you try to hide an injury from him.

I'm sunnycrow and Sunny#5819 on Discord if you want to plot anything. Nice to meet you!

Hey guys heeeeeeeeeeeey~

Jirou really doesn't have any abilities regained currently. He's a very rich man though so if money is needed he's got it. Plus he's a drag queen who drinks a lot which means that he is good for helping people with disguises and makeup and fashion?

lol Sorry guys he's a pretty face and that's about all he's got going for him but at least he's cheerful! And has a memory of being a divine being! Most useful teammate!

Feel free to add me on plurk at eiredragon1 for plot stuff!

Togusa

[standalonehuman]

Hello! This is Agnes with Hitori Togusa from Ghost in the Shell. Recolle Police Officer, teenager-wrangler, and philosophical conspiracy theorist. Except this month, he's also got this: Psychic Wave Manipulation. So, Telekinesis and, more importantly for OOC discussions, Telepathy. Togusa will not be able to read anyone's mind unless the player has given OOC permission, and that permission is a one-off, just because you agree once, does not mean he gets free reign to do it all the time.

Feel free to talk to me on plurk at Furikuchan

Émi here is the heiress and future CEO of ÉcarlateSoft! She's pretty smart, but will probably start insisting on leading the team. Only real powers Émilie has so far is her superhuman strength... that she's trying to keep to herself for the most part. I can be found on ArchVile!

[youraffection]

HELLO FRiENDS! WE ARE THE BADASS GROUP BY DEFAULT! But will be Tarzan or George of the Jungle?

Yosuke here is going to be going in this with his left arm still kinda broken. (WHOOPS?) On the upside is he's getting his Dia (healing) skills! So he will be able to test them out on you guys, probably!

He will like the opportunity to play detective to some extent and adventuring will be cool, but he does have some fish and chips on his shoulders about Retrospec (as everyone does), so he will be complaining.

I'M EXCITED AND LOOK FORWARD TO SOLVING THESE MYSTERIES WITH YOU ALL
