MONTHLY PLOT POST
PLOT POST - January
Welcome to our January 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 would like to announce that starting today, plot clues may not be bought! For January and February, due to plot reasons, plot clues will not be able to be purchased by players. These clues will reopen in March. Please keep in mind when purchasing a plot clue we do ask that players have a specific idea in mind of what they would like to look into (i.e. it is harder for us to create a clue that is "I want to explore an NPC area and see what I can find!" versus "I want to check out the waffle house and see if there are any remnants of Retrospec at all since the mailbox is there.")

-Starting in 2018, we have altered our hiatus rules just a slight bit! Beginning this month, all hiatuses going forward must be a total of 14 days or more in the month you are calling hiatus to be considered exempt from AC. Due to the high volume of players/characters in-game, along with the amount of activity generated per month and the opportunities for freebie memories, we feel that even 20 days in the month is enough to make AC for characters. Please note: nothing else about our hiatus rules have changed. If your hiatus is more than 14 days but is split between two months, we will still need AC for at least one of these months.

-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 memory regain 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 regular memory regains 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.

WORLD CHANGES

• Currently as of this weekend, grains, fruits/veggies, meats, and dairy/other drinks have been regained taste-wise! We have one more tier to meet and status can be found on the world regains page.

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
Happy 2018, Recollé! Did you have a nice holiday? Good thing the taste of meat came back just in time for your fancy Christmas dinners. The new year is looking brighter than ever...

...isn't it? Maybe not quiet.

Starting January 3rd, a large dome-like structure will overtake the entire city of Recollé with the intent of isolating the city and its energy readings. While the sun will still be shining and providing some much-needed vitamin D to the city, there will be nothing but darkness until February 1st as the Retrospec team works on a greater problem.

In the meantime, characters may be able to utilize different means to create new light sources. Street lamps will be lit and electricity will still work, but citizens may find that they'll have to get creative as they make their way through their every day lives.

In addition, the blockades in front of the old subway system will give way at the beginning of the month and open several tunnel routes for exploration. While it's unknown where the tunnels go or what characters may find, nothing is stopping them from exploring different routes that are open, taking expedition teams down underground, and mapping out new city lines. Please be sure to read this month's event log for more details!

Of note: there will be a few small player plots open for volunteers that you guys can get involved in (not mod-run and game-wide, simply mod-approved) so be sure to be on the lookout for those as well.

Finally: we would like to announce that February will be our next big plot month similar to August's event! We have taken a lot of your feedback from August to heart and have created a new set of circumstances and information to work with for the next month-long plot-jump. This information will go up in an OOC post on January 25th (the same day apps open as to allow new players/characters a chance to jump in, too.)

FREEBIE

-This month's freebie will require one thread from the mod-posted Restrospec post on the 1st featuring at least ten comments from you. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "January Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past January.

-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.

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.

I want to do something with this. It's...the kind of thing that would attract Penelo's interest. She might even go investigate it by airship. I don't know if that'd piss it off or not but she'd be interested. And maybe send her summon Gilgamesh to help...try and break the dome or something. Or just see what's up with the big dude.

Tarr knows that he was called 'leech' by 'the lizard' in the past life but he has been paying little to no attention to that because eh he's been called worse. So that whole teeth and/or night eyes will be pretty dang weird too him and might need to talk about it. Also. Minako. He will talk to her about David and tell her stories if she wants to know. They are friends and maybe also tell her that they had dated at one time.

IT'S HEI with

AKIRA KURUSU (LOCAL NASTY CRIMEBOY)
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? His cat sometimes hitches a ride in his bag to places... Feel free to catch him in school or on a bus with his cat hidden in his bag. Shhh.
JANUARY WISHLIST
SUBWAY — Akira will be Very Interested in exploring the tunnels. Most likely he would want to go with someone, but he might go by himself if no one accepts his offer. Open to EVERYONE AND ANYONE and I would be game for a possible organized exploration team.

SPARRING — He uses a dagger and probably dirty tactics, but monsters don't know Honor, okay? If anyone wants a buddy, he's open for it!! more experience is better.

COURAGE TEST — No one can complain that they don't want to go at night now. It's always dark, so he's planning to hit up some "haunted" places (proclaimed by the internet) in Recolle.

WEDDING — He's playing the cello for the soremik wedding... Catch him there not looking like a slob and be amazed.

GRATITUDE JOURNAL — With the new year, he wants to start jotting down things he's grateful for (trying to drive out the bitterness). Exchanging and discussing feel goods would be cool if anyone is interested in that...
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 knows why now and will answer honestly if asked about it). 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 Kohryu). He also has weapons that appear out of nowhere and turn into toys when handled by someone else.

y'all planned so intensely damn ok here we go

ANYA ([personal profile] constellates) ... actually doesn't have a lot going on!! the basics of her character is that she is a sweet half-russian idol girl and she is... still a sweet half-russian idol girl but also now she can use guns and swords?? level up?? but anyway all my plans happened for her last month? so i guess i'll just leave her open for things at random! here are just some idle, non-pressing things i'd love to do with her -
GUNS GUNS GUNS » Anya actually already has a regain of using a shotgun and was given one over the course of the game, but if anyone knows more about guns and would be willing to teach her I'd love to move forward with that?
SPOOKY THINGS » to spark more regains of other idol girls - maybe some threads of telling scary stories??
TUNNEL EXPLORING » personally i'd love to have one of those "what happened lassie?? anya fell down a well??" but with like. subway tunnels. did i think about this in detail? no. did i just come up with it? yes.

GENERAL WANTED CR » more adult cr!! do you want a morality pet for your chara because anya's pretty good about that. more cute girl friends also!! more people who will take advantage of the fact that anya is naive as fuck!! also she's lived in recolle all her life so if you want some new pre-established cr hit me up late i'm here for it

BAREN ([personal profile] crudest) could actually get a bunch of regains off of this HAHAHA. so uh here we goooo. the skinny is that he's a sengoku cursed fucker but in this life he's a rich bitch and general troublemaker!
SHRINE TIME » Baren recently regained the Kumou Shrine! (reference pics: x, x) it'll be popping up right in the forest LMFAO HAHA. so if anyone goes exploring they'll probably run into it?? i'll be putting up an open log for it in case anyone's interested!
CURSES, LEGENDS, AND DRAGONS OH MY » baren's regains around this will pretty much relate to the curse of the orochi, a serpent that rises once every 300 years. i... don't know how willing he'd be to talk about it but tbh if anyone has any similar shit they can regain from a convo about it, let me know and we can try to finagle something!! I'LL TRY SO HARD.
TUNNEL EXPLORATION » i don't know who wants to be stuck spelunking with this fuck but that sounds like the easiest way to get cr. also if anyone gets lost, he'll probably be willing to help them find a way out? BAM easy way to get cr with this jerk if you want that (why would you want that)
BACK TO MODELING » what's on the tin - i forgot to mention! baren's going back to modeling. it'll be great. (it won't, he's still mostly here to make money.) LMFAO. if anyone wants to play with this let's do it otherwise it'll be a handwaved thing

GENERAL WANTED CR » honestly it's really hard to get CR with baren that's positive and i'll be open about that. but!! if your character needs an antagonizing, devil-may-care jackass for regains! oh boy i'm here!!


TBH I'M UP FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING!! also if you'd prefer to plot on plurk, feel free to add me a [plurk.com profile] evergrace! o/ thank you thank yoouuu

Elliot would agree to go into the subway just because he knows Akira would go in by himself and that seems like a Bad Idea.

Edit: Scratch that, Becks wants to explore the subway too so let's have a mochi house fieldtrip??

I'M SO READY.

I feel like Hime would probably make a decent target, especially considering how Pen helped protect her from her hollowfied brother. And Akira/Light could definitely fit the bill for darkness or deals...assuming it's something that Mateus would be able to see before Akira has a full understanding of what he's done before.

if ur still down for it i'd love to have anya and bucky have that confrontation about him treating her too fragilely

(i also have to hit up her inbox with a belated thread post-possession fight too actually)

i'd also be down to do something gun-related!! maybe they can swap knowledge--bucky's a pro with handguns but has never shot a shotgun before! (and i think i can get a regain for him on rifles off of it, bc apparently those are held/fired similarly?) the tricky bit here is that they're both minors and wouldn't be allowed onto the range themselves so like....they need an Adult lol



also i'm trying to think if there's a snake monster regain bucky can get from a convo with baren, and like. it's driving me nuts because he has to, he can't have been a comics character since 1940 and not encountered some giant snake monster bullshit at some point, but i have no idea what it would be. (i have nothing productive to add here, just. wanted to get that out there.)

GOD

TWO RECKLESS TERRIBLE CHILDREN WANDERING SPOOKY TUNNELS TOGETHER?

this promises to be good, make it so!

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-01-01 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
so this is something i've been meaning to get to for a while and now seems ESPECIALLY appropriate--

the tunnel that leads out into the woods and connect to the bunker/university/etc. (as mentioned here)--are those counted as part of the subway tunnels? as in, will they have been closed and be opening up this month as well? or are they a separate set of tunnels that have been open this whole time?

yeeeeEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

CHRISTMAS CAME LATE THIS YEAR AND BUCKY'S NEVER BEEN HAPPIER

idk, maybe he'll keep togusa as backup? keep him on speed dial should he find anything? unless togusa actually wants to join him for an excursion! i'm down for anything.

AWWW BLESS, YU

even if james isn't in the loop about the jan-yu-ary blues, i at least am touched that he would still accompany james despite that

I believe I owe you a meeting between Light and the Vigilante or at least Light and Matt Murdock successful prosecutor at law.

On a different note it would be hilarious if Matt caught a whiff of whatever horror Orihime is about to eat.

Hello folks Laurent is not going to enjoy this...

This feels like being put in a box and Laurent is not an animal he doesn't want to be in a box.

THAT SAID he actually low key suspects he knows what is happening he just doesn't understand how it's all even possible. Ask him about his wild Spinnato & Vanderweele theories, get stuck for 1 hour!

Also Laurent was in team cognac so has a subway map if anyone wants to explore!

I want more opportunities for Edgeworth to see his personas and weapons...I think the weapons might help jog more crime-related memories.
