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 dunno about the sun but I have a guy with plant powers who is always on the lookout for side jobs because his financials are less than great (thanks, grad school)...

He can't exactly imitate the sun but he could assuredly keep 300* plants alive!

okay!! I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE NOT MADE IT THAT FAR INTO HOMESTUCK so is there anything specific that you think ann can do to trigger that regain? like a specific fighting move, for example?

HMM as for ann's regains...i don't have anything in mind but she may be able to get something back while they spar! maybe if one of their sessions could be ann blowing off steam or something (i.e. pretending that karkat or a punching bag is kamoshida) then that may trigger a regain?

I vote Sanji and Mimori go exploring somehow. He'll just have lowkey anxiety the entire time about her tripping or something and Baren taking the price out of his ass.

aw YES kurama is the plant bender cr I've needed (john can manipulate plants too but I don't think he could keep em alive without the sun for the month..)

but yeah that'd be def welcome. johns actually broke as shit so idk if kuruma would accept like. ... anything but money... does he have errands that need done. books to carry. dogs to walk idk. he will be his bitch for proper compensation

[personal profile] concasse 2018-01-01 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay first off I can't believe Yusuke is older than Sanji.

ALSO yes he wants commissions as I told you before. Specifically he'll be asking Yusuke to draw pictures of his crew mates, which will require them drawing from Sanji's memory? It's probably gonna be labor intensive and Sanji is a stickler for perfection in this case, SO HE WILL BE UPFRONT WITH EXPECTATIONS.

And lastly the loser is getting his fire powers so Yusuke can note he's on fire before walking away as he probably should.
thesettingsun: smile (tell me am I looking like this?)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-01-01 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
let him spoil his friends!!!
concasse: (run↠ I got the moves like jagger)

[personal profile] concasse 2018-01-01 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
/points to eyes points to u

I feel like after a reread of One Piece I'm gonna find something comparable to all of your regains, BUT JUST IN CASE NOT, Sanji and Baren can go tear up the tunnels... or Baren can just follow Sanji with a bucket of water because he's going to periodically be on fire.

ok but




can it be from somewhere that magically has an infinite return policy so someday shuji gets his money back

(a place that doesn't exist)
roseblooms: and sometimes the trick is your house burns down (KNOWING ❁ trickster fox is redundant)

[personal profile] roseblooms 2018-01-01 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
PLANTBENDERS PLANTBENDERS honestly I hope this results in them deciding to have a plant fight at some point just to compare skills because Fawkes is still kind of weirded out by the fact that he can turn rose petals into razor blades and kill people with them

...because I mean. Who wouldn't be.

...

okay so would john camp a line for 36 hours in the cold to be one of the first 100 people to get a collector's edition video game cartridge from a game store

because for example fawkes would be interested in that but he can't camp lines because he goes to college

also i just think the premise of that would be hilarious
thesettingsun: mad (no not at all you can't control)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-01-01 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
no

because that place doesn't exist

take the damn lamp
concasse: all unmarked icons were made by me; other icons were edited but still credit original creator (annoyed↠ talk to the cock)

[personal profile] concasse 2018-01-01 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Sanji is gonna be asschaffed Byakuya can see better in the dark than he can. :|

Also darkness or no, Sakura will still probably insist she and Byakuya hit up a local joint with weird food, LET THEM CELEBRATE THE RETURN TO TASTE.
concasse: (talk↠ the sound of my lack of caring)

[personal profile] concasse 2018-01-01 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
it's okay Shinji, Sanji will just beat up all the monsters in the dark, no big deal.

... Honestly Sakura will too, lbr.

hello recolle! i'm finally back from hiatus and ready to go, and i currently have two characters on my roster, arashi narukami from ensemble stars (this account) and lelouch lamperouge from code geass ([personal profile] chessking)! tl;dr: lelouch is a college student who's skirting on the edges of delinquency for the fun of it but generally pleasant otherwise, and arashi is currently working as a both a model and potentially crosses over into a freelance stylist/makeup artist when he has the time.

i have a couple of things for this plotting post:
• lelouch has his geass back! he is vaguely aware that he has it mostly because he has unleashed it on some unsuspecting npcs while he was on autopilot back in december, and sometime during this week or next week, he's going to be putting up a retrospec post asking for test subje-- uh, volunteers to help him test out the limitations of his new spoopy powers. the darkness is going to mess things up a little bit though, i'm delighted. i'm absolutely down for pre-planning things and/or winging it as we go along, but for the canon-blind, i have a short write up on what his geass is and its limitations and effects are which also functions as an opt-in post. let's plan things!

• tunnel explorations! of my two, lelouch is definitely the more inquisitive and would probably be easily cajoled into exploring tunnels. please drag him along on tunnel exploring adventures mostly because i also want a regain about potentially causing tunnel like structures to cave in and cause a building to collapse above ground. don't ask why. arashi's not entirely interested in tunnel exploration, but he can definitely be at the wrong place at the wrong time or just dragged into it in general.


I don't have any particular plans aside from these! arashi and lelouch are. actually going to not be very happy with the general lack of light and might try sticking to people who have light sources especially outside of buildings. i'm mostly going to play things by ear actually to ease myself back into the game again. if you have any ideas or want to do things in particular, please do feel free to let me know and we can definitely work something out! my discord is Sarah#1309 or you can find me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] thelightroyale!
