DECEMBER PLOT POST

MONTHLY PLOT POST

PLOT POST - DECEMBER Welcome to our December 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 -First and foremost, we have made the decision to start allowing players to buy hard-to-obtain memories for certain point values! Once a month, players may now buy back one memory that they may not be able to trigger otherwise nor obtain through the use of freebies. The memories bought back via points would not be eligible for your AC-qualifying memory, and the points value would depend on the size/type/significance of the memory. The values would be similar to 100 points for smaller memories, 150 points for larger memories, 200 for even larger memories and so on and so forth. -Ninja Warrior Participants: for those who signed up for the event, you will have an extended deadline until 12/15 to turn in your qualifying threads for your 10-20 point item due to the fact that the event ran right up against the holiday season for a great number of players. This is only for Ninja Warrior and not for November's memory freebie. -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. -While freebies can be submitted at any point in the month, we would like to remind players that per the regains guide, we do ask that the last tag from you on a thread submitted for a regain be no older than 14 days. -We also ask that players do not trigger their own memories prior to clearing things with us! It's part of the game mechanic for regains to be done the way that they are, so this means we ask players not to have their characters feel memories coming on, etc. -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. -We would like to use this time to provide 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. -And finally, as the game continues to expand we are putting out the call for a few more AC helpers! With over 230 characters (which, wow!!, thank you guys for being here!) and only six of us checking AC, we are interested in adding a few more people to our AC staff to help speed along this process. This would mean being available once the AC period closes and helping us crosscheck player threads, check the math, and confirm that characters followed basic AC. If you're interested, please send us a PM or leave a note on the mod contact page! IMPORTANT DATES 1st Retrospec Post 9PM EST 2nd Charity Plot sign-ups end, OOC Secret Santa sign-ups end 3rd AC Results, Mini-Event Log 9PM EST, Reporting period for Charity Plot starts 8th End of term for Recollé University, classes to begin again January 8th. 16th End Charity Plot reporting period 17th Winter Festival log 20th End of term for Recollé High Schools, Middle Schools, and Elementary Schools, classes to begin again January 8th. 31st AC Due see our calendar for a look at upcoming dates this month and further! WORLD CHANGES • Everything has now regained the color green! This includes grass, plants, eyes and hair. Please note, this will be in effect as of 9pm on 12/1. Congratulations! But what's this? More world changes? Hmmm. • Starting on 12/1 at 9pm with the Retrospec post, all characters' sense of taste will disappear! Everything will be without taste and the cycle of earning it back begins. Check out the world regains page (link below) to see the tiers of regaining for this effect. • One Moogle Shop location (from the Kingdom Hearts canon) has opened in Tisse. It sells sea salt ice cream pops, potions, hi-potions, ethers, and tents. 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 to help impact and change the world as well, though we may delay the installment of some features for plot purposes. Of note: players are allowed to help contribute to buying world changes not from their own canon. Players may donate up to 100 points to another player's cause. When donating points to a canon buyback, please put them on the same world change page here! Please note, these are only for world changes and not items/powers/etc. EVENTS Retrospec users may have noticed a pattern of effects ending after a one month period, but it seems as though this is not always the case. As we swing into December it seems as though it is still impossible to call or email anyone outside of the city. In addition though, snail mail and packages from the outside (even from places like Amazon.com) seem to be stalled as well. Hope you mailed your Christmas gifts early. This month will be all about the celebration of winter as snow begins to fall periodically and the temperatures drop again. 'Tis the season for holiday bonding and the city of Recollé is no exception...but you might find yourself a little closer to each other than you think. Be sure to check out the mini event-log going up on December 3rd at 9pm EST for more information. On the player-run plot side of things, Rayne (our Minako Arisato and Gwendolyn player) and AJ (our Terra, Ayano Tateyama and Aigis player) have created the Holiday Charity Drive that is taking place this month, and you can still sign up until December 2nd, 12AM PST! ReVA is organizing this charity drive to celebrate the season and encourage the spreading of some hearty holiday spirit. Participants will be performing chores in the city. Doing so will earn them tickets, which will enter them in a prize drawing. In addition, participating and earning a certain amount of tickets will earn characters one free memory. (Please see the Freebies section of this announcement for details.) Be sure to review these guidelines as well! At the end of the charity drive, there will also be a winter festival for characters to party it up at! You can view the linked post for more details, and all dates are on our calendar! On the OOC side of things, Ichi (our Souji Seta and Makoto Naegi player) is running an OOC Secret Santa which you may wish to sign up for! Sign-ups end December 2nd at 11:59PM EST, and assignments go out on December 4th! FREEBIE There are opportunities for two memory regains and one item regain this month, untriggered/point-free! -The first available freebie will require one thread from the mod-posted Restrospec post on the 1st featuring at least five comments from you with one new character. Please note, we define "new character" as any of the incoming new characters from the application round (regardless of TDM tags you may have done with them) or any in-game character your character has not threaded with before. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "December Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past December. -The second available freebie will require earning two tickets in the charity plot over here. That is to say, players are eligible for the freebie if they participate in 2 threads and report 2 tickets for their character. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "December Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past December. -And finally, while it is not viable as your AC proof regain, a small 10-20 point item freebie can be applied for at any point during the month without qualification. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "Christmas present freebie" in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past December. This is available for all characters including the new characters who would usually not be able to acquire items until their second month in-game once points from their first month are tallied. -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. Please note: any player may purchase a plot clue if they so wish! Should this be a high demand, we may cap how many clues go out per month and at this time we are in the process of revamping the plot clue system to incorporate tiers and categories for your reference. -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. As mentioned above, please feel free to comment to this post (and to each other) with your character's plans for the month for plotting and CR building.

HELLO... THIS IS HEI here to bring you the happenings of attic trash.

nasty crimeboy (aka akira kurusu)

Akira Kurusu is a freshmen in Recolle University, majoring in communications yadda yadda. His part-time jobs are at Catmosphere Cafe and Unstoppable (a paintball/airsoft supply shop). Ostracized in the past, he used to be pessimistic and dismissive, but is turning his life around the last year. He's a quirky guy, but he knows when to cut back and handle serious situations. UNFORTUNATELY, that doesn't change that he can be rather reckless (he really likes fighting). While he's a ~phantom thief~, he hasn't done... much of that for obvious reasons. Did I mention he owns a cat?

Things he tends to do on a regular basis:

• COURAGE TESTS
• Make fake mysteries for detective agencies (4SIGHT is the fake organization he made; fake recruitment is open)
• bring... his cat with him in his bag. any character may or may not notice Morrigan (his cat) with him on the way to school in the bus or... well. on campus with his meow.
• WITH SNOW, he'll be making a lot of snowmen... and snowcats. snow things.

december plans

CHARITY DRIVE — He's RNGing, but I'm open for having Akira in more teams!! He likes sharing the holiday spirit.

CAT SANTA — Catmosphere Cafe's theme is obviously Christmas and their employees will be dressed up as Santa on the weekends! Go ahead and check him out in his dumb Christmas DLC outfit. Please tell Santa your wishes or make fun of him because he regained this outfit and his favorite holiday is Halloween. *Other employees may dress up as Cat Santa, too. Have fun.

SPICY FOOD CHALLENGE — When taste disappears, he's going to take on some spicy food challenges to MAKE HIM FEEL ALIVE again. This is how you cope when your food tastes like nothing... Be in pain. People to join him or watch him suffer would be totally cool.

CHRISTMAS CARDS — Yes... Akira is the type to write out personal Christmas cards (it helps his salt levels) for whoever that asks (or just whoever on the Retrospec directory). If you want him to write your character a card, tell me! We don't need to have cr and this can be the start to something magical.

DARK TIMES — I'm putting this here in case the Persona cast explodes. There may be a series of events that might push Akira to feeling bitter and exhausted later in December. If y'all don't know December if the Month of Terror in Persona games. And Christmas dates.

and you know he has to celebrate the birthdays of his friends and stuff!

regains

Unfortunately, Akira doesn't like talking about his memories, especially the personal ones, BUT. But. He doesn't mind mentioning that he had a bad reputation (he doesn't know why yet). He will definitely joke that he used to be a delinquent that knows the yakuza (also he beat up crime lords) and stuff if anyone needs that.

He doesn't mind showing off his Personas (Satanael, Yoshitsune) and I sent a request for Kohryu. He also has weapons that appear out of nowhere and turn into toys when handled by someone else.

... wow i have like nothing

PLAN STUFF WITH ME! Or you can hit me up on discord (hei#2323) or halloway.

[odasaku]

as a spicy connoisseur, i nominate odasaku to join nasty crimeboy in a journey of destroying their stomachs

[maskreant]

hey... at least it feels like something?!

though tbh Akira isn't big on spicy food. he likes it, but probably not... hm



he is 3 chili peppers

[odasaku]

oda is at 5 chili peppers tbh he and his stomach are Strong

[glaciers]

HEY CAT SANTA Shouto wants to tell somebody his Christmas wishes.

[maskreant]

... yes of course shouto is allowed to come tell cat santa his wishes!!

is it about yukine

it can be and akira will actually grant it

[glaciers]

maybe
a little

he wants to have a really good christmas date with Yukine but he's not very good at dating or coming up with dates

[fiddlestick]

Okay so one roommate is starving himself and the other is setting his mouth on fire.

[maskreant]

AKIRA IS BETTER ABOUT IT THAN YUSUKE STARVING HIMSELF

[fiddlestick]

#DEBATABLE

But lbr, Elliot would still help him if he burns himself too bad from spice.

Also let him meet dat dragon.

[maskreant]

will elliot want to pet the dragon...

akira won't kill himself with spice. don't worry? he may be a daredevil, but he does want to live.

[fiddlestick]

Oh right he's not as nuts as the narukami twins with food. I forgot sorry.

He might...it is a pretty dragon.

[sketchythief]

if manon asks for a christmas wish, would akira accept it with a bonus up front

why not just do phantom thief-like things with 4sight as a guise

[maskreant]

it... depends... she scares him

BECAUSE STEALING STUFF IS ILLEGAL, HAKI?

do you want him to get arrested

[sketchythief]

Yes




(no)

Be a good thief

[maskreant]

he will steal...



the hearts of people

[sketchythief]

He's already doing that though

also would he seriously fight Manon

I'd be down for it but idk if it would wreck Akira's nerves

[complementing]

KOHRYU...Minako will have to wait until at least next month for it, but I want them to show each other their dragons

...or have a dragon race

[maskreant]

oh boy

akira will need to get used to kohryu when he gets him before they can have dragon rides, but they can totally show off their dragons

THEIR DRAGONS CAN GO ON DATES

[lifleifthrasir]

good luck trying to get Seth to date anyone, he's so devoted to Minako...but Samael might be up for it waggles eyebrows
