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 wouldn't mind doing stuff with the magical egg and/or exploring?? Xiaolang's finally going to start using his sword this month, and also maybe possibly regaining his magic/two of his talismans (depending on the price range on them), so Mimori is free to give him shit for toting around a weapon when he made such a big deal about it in the past (and he's just going to be like AT LEAST IT'S NOT A FIREARM, JFC MIMORI)

I just want more Mimori CR ok

I remember there were talks about some sort of retrospec support group for the middle school kids but that never panned out...

The only idea I kind of have is like a casting call on Retrospec to commiserate being so young??

Hello! Mich playing Zack Fair/Zackary Fairweather! You can always add me at [plurk.com profile] michrure!

The first week of the month Zack will be dealing with increased shoulder pain from his injury. He also has glowing mako blue eyes for anyone to notice when seeing him now.

Zack will be interested in exploring the tunnel systems this month to see what is going on down there. He’s been in the city for just over six months now and he is starting to get antsy for some real answers and to see what he can find in these sketchy subway systems. Team with him or run into him?

He also just regained a baby tonberry who happens to be incredibly clumsy equipped with that little fisher-price butcher knife its got and darkness and bad lighting might make for some sharp accidents...?!

I hopefully plan for Zack to get at least a weapon or his SOLIDER strength back this month. As well as some more understandable memories about SOLIDER, Sephiroth and Angeal.

With the workshop up this month Fairweather/Craig family is always looking for more family members! And since I’m more on the new side I’m always looking for new CR for Zack as well! Hit me up!

The memory in question had shit falling on him, and dank subway system is probably full of thing just waiting to crush unsuspecting teenagers

Will probably have to think of a reason for him to be there though other than thinking it's actually open for business lmao

Good morning and Happy New Year~! It's Bella, you can find me over at [plurk.com profile] flaired; if you want to add me then go ahead, just know I plurk largely about RP and mobage (Granblue Fantasy, Ensemble Stars!, I'll link new Love Live cards if they're my best girls). Onto the meatier bits.

Elizabeth (this journal) turned 19 this New Year's Day!! Congratulations to her. Being the magnanimous person I am, I've put in a regain for her Velvet Room Attendant stuff as a birthday gift from me to her. It basically boils down to "being incredibly powerful (though really she's been that given she's been able to summon Persona + has her compendium); not aging, eating, or sleeping (though she'll still partake in at least one of these, they're just not necessary anymore), and she's capable of non-human things like breathing in space and taking really powerful hits"... Things like that. You know, essentially not really being a human person anymore. When she realizes what's up, she's probably going to go back to trying to put some distance between herself and her human people friends; feel free to call her out on it, it's actually going to be really hard for her to hold back!!! You all have ruined her, it's been wonderful.

Aside from that, she's a college freshman who's still undecided but leaning music as a major, so expect to see her more frequently at the music observatory on campus practicing piano and singing showtunes as she learns to play them... She's part of the theater club, she takes theater classes too because theater is love theater is life, uhh she's taking French and German classes still because those are her jam but please don't make me write in anything but French, whoops. Otherwise she's around campus and can be found in due time! She is thankfully not taking on Everything this semester like she did last semester.

I don't have any specific memories I want to regain for her, but she still has quite a few date-related ones that would be nice to grab while she's feeling conflicted about everything; the easiest ones probably involve food (takoyaki, manga cafe, smoothie bar), though she has some really silly shenanigans ones too (escalators, school uniforms, chatting up statues)...

As for what she can offer, she can summon stuff with her compendium! Which is just her grimoire. So magic books and summons/summoning are on the table; her two Personas at the moment are Thanatos, the God of Death and Jack Frost, the funnest snow fairy—the former is very quiet and intimidating and looks like this. He's only good for fighting and making a really scary scream. The latter is very chatty and loves ice, snow, and pranking people, and also looks like this. For those that went to the Winter Festival, his face is probably reaaally familiar. She's also good for theatrical stuff, singing, dancing, music in general and giving oddly thoughtful advice. A woman of many talents, this one.

Event-wise, she's a little less okay with the dark than she'd like to admit (th...anks spooky lab in August and everything October was), so she'll definitely be looking for people with lights when she's out and about. For those it's relevant to, she'll be spending time in the Velvet Room as well, so feel free to run into her there. It's a well-lit place, don't @ her!! She's interested in exploring the tunnels too, and she can fight? So if you need someone she is here for business, she is more than happy to hit up those.

Tsukasa ([personal profile] stressweets) is a lot more low-key, considering he's just canonically an idol boy; at the moment though, he's 16 and works part-time at the stables! If your character has a chocobo there, or goes for riding lessons or whatever, he's probably a familiar face. He's very passionate about the animals he works with and in his first month picked a few internet fights to defend the honor of both horses and chocobos, so.

A very exciting change in his life is that his parents have at long last given into his requests to attend high school, so he'll be enrolled for the coming spring semester!!! HELLO, FELLOW HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, please treat him gently. Or don't, it's fine. He's going to be Very Excited and Really Into Everything, because up until now he's only been homeschooled, so... catch him wanting to try everything? Recruit him into your clubs/sports/marching band, prank him with misinformation and the like because he's gullible and naive, etc. Though speaking of clubs, he'll in in Mafuyu's little club that Card's interested in her having, and also he'll be bringing food every time so... lmao. Request something and he'll do his best, he tends to make more simple/traditional Japanese stuff though (get ready to eat a lot of different types of onigiri and daifuku).

Also maybe a groupchat for Yumenosaki Idols??? He doesn't know everyone yet but he's already met a few and heard about others and the idea was brought up so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Keep an eye out... Friends... Shitpost about Yumenosaki 2K18.

Regain-wise he has a lot he can still go through, so I'm not really aiming for anything in particular. I might be buying some outfits for him across the month though (not all of these, these are just my top considerations), and I've considered some physical regains as well but we'll see!! All he really has are his pretty lavender eyes and his reddish-hair, which would look really nice with his current blue eyes...

For what he can offer: useless horse facts I mean, if you need regains related to horses or someone who loved horses or etc etc, Tsukasa's the type of boy who can talk at length about them and definitely will, given the chance. He's fluent in Japanese so if you need anything related to that, there's that too—his mom and dad teach Japanese literature and Asian history respectively, so he knows a lot about both? Uh. Watercolors, especially nature-related/landscapes...? I'm sorry, he's a very ordinary boy. THOUGH if you need someone who is usually the voice of reason, he can definitely be that! Do that! He's a very common sense kind of person, though he's actually also easy to drag into things...

Event-wise, he's okay with the dark even if it's not always his favorite time? But he is absolutely not interested in the tunnels. Actually, he's terrified of them, so please bully him/dare him/drag him along for some Good Old Teenager Fun if you want him along for your tunnel adventures. I highly encourage frightening him tbh.

I think that's it! Ooh, this ended up a lot longer than I... thought... whoops.

The only way to fight outlandish self-loathing is to pull out something even more outlandish rip

Oh man what if Tenma just... accidentally misskicks the ball and it hits Kirishima in the face while he's walking by, but there was dirt and grass pieces that clung to it and Kiri wipes his face while still in defense mode

DAVE, HE HAS A SWORD NOW, TEACH HIM ABOUT ALL THE SWORD THINGS

--or at least help him so he's not constantly slicing his fingers or almost stabbing himself in the foot, anyway

Also, I wouldn't mind more action-y threads with Hinata, too! So far Xiaolang's only spoken to him on the network, so it'd be cute if they ran into one another in person at some point! He still needs to gift him that thank you card for the fruit tarts and get around to making the egg tarts for him too (although idk where eggs fall on the taste regain spectrum so... they might still be bland but idk)

Felicia has a healing staff now and is willing to help ease any of Zack's shoulder pain if he wants it. Otherwise, shenanigans with cute critters or in the tunnels (or both!) are always a good idea.

[personal profile] 1019 2018-01-01 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He is a particular kind of jerkass!

And ohh, man, that can only end well (entertainingly, at least, from an RP standpoint, however it goes) - I'd love to have them keep an eye out for each other!

HELLO HELLO EVERYONE! It's Hana in the house with Zhong Hui. HAPPY NEW YEARS!! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧ I hope that everyone has a wonderful day and a fabulous 2018. I'm looking forward to rping with you all for this year. Feel free to hit me up at [plurk.com profile] konimi for plotting and chatting!! ♡

My boy, Leon Zhong is a 19 college student that's going back to school with a business major. As usual, he'll be focusing on his studies while trying to be the very best in his class. The darkness will cause him to flip, and he'll have a rough time trying to guide himself throughout the city.

It's still being threaded but one of the major changes that's happening this month to him is that he received a confession from a girl on New Years Eve that he'll end up accepting. So, he'll be less grumpy and slightly more happier?! Anyone is welcome to call him out on it and he'll act more flustered than normal. He probably won't be saying much in regards to what happened and will try to avoid talking about it to other people.

He's absolutely going to want to explore the subways! So I'd definitely be down for him to join an exploration team because even though this loser says he won't need help.... he actually does need help navigating. :l He needs a babysitter tbh.

In terms of regains, I have plans for him to get his grey eye color back along with his swords closer to the end of the month! I may also buy back his basic flying sword ability towards the end of the month too. Since his cousin Xiaolang got his sword back, Leon's going to be remembering that he used to fight with a sword in his past life. Leon's taken up fencing in the past, but I may have him start to seriously practice with his swords before he regains his ability back.

EMIL, STOP THIS CHILD FROM GOING IN THERE BY HIMSELF, PLEASE

also if Xiaolang gets his fire talismans back, they can both just-- scream over randomly generating fire together because what is controlling magic you don't really know you have yet

Did someone call for a babysitter....?

okay you joke about the human torch thing but like...........

i could probably get a real human torch regain off of that, so like. HELL yeah. god i feel like i've already made plans for at least 3 subway excursions with james now hahaha but maybe leo can like chaperone him in the new darkness of the city or something? (or a 4th subway excursion, james would go down there a million times if he could tbh)

also i would love to have some CR with ochako! James is always at fight club so we can def have them meet there?

Oh!! I had Xiaolang mention missing Lunar New Years to someone else in another thread, and Li-Na's his second cousin, so I'm down for him helping with any planning if you want? Not that there's... really much a thirteen year old can really do, but he's very organized and responsible, and he can try to rope in his guardian/cousin Leon into it too if they need more people!

Honestly, I just adored the fact that Ava and Lucas's conversation actually went well - I don't have any terribly specific ideas in mind (the memories I'm going to be gunning for with him this month are ones of his spooky lantern-witch mother and one of a monster-infested series of mines), but I'd be down for more CR!

Lucas is also a student, but he's a few years older than Ava - they may not share classes (he's in engineering, anyway), but they might see each other around, and I'd be up for them meeting in the tunnels if you would!

Soleil is going to run right in and play hero now that she's gotten some things back and more importantly if someone is going to get hurt, especially anyone she knows.

The closest thing to darkness Soleil has in her is her frustration with her future/family life here and feeling like she can't protect anyone with all these supernatural things going on. But uh otherwise she's as much sunshine as she looks.

XIAOLANG IS GOING TO HOLD YOU TO THAT RESOLUTION, MIO.... (although no doubt he's always going to be the exception to this, isn't he, CRIES)

I do want them to do more-- sibling-y things this month, though?? He's still going to be frysquinting at her over her new upgrade in her relationship with Leon, but hopefully (??) his feelings with Sakura will be coming to a head and he can maybe... confide in her about stuff?? Maybe?? As long as she keeps good on her promise not to tease him and make him miserable about it, anyway--

she's also 100% free to scold him for running around with a sharp weapon or potentially using dangerous fire/electricity generating things too or trying to check out the tunnels by himself HAHA

Okay so I know Pitou and Elda have clearly famously hit it off (not really) and I can totally offer more there in terms of fighting and inhuman stuff but. Natalia here (who would line up on the animal shelter stuff and would be down for leaning on on chemical stuff even if she barely has knowledge) has a lot of memories she could get lining up with the chimera ant stuff and I think vice-versa because inhuman monsters that eat people are her allies. and enemies. there's politics.
