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 CAN DO MY BEST FOR THE CONVO TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION!!! baren normally wouldn't let it slip but if idk odasaku mentioned even the guns or the assassin thing oR EVEN DAZAI baren would be like "oh yeah then you know you're mafia huh"

surprise

he does not know he is mafia
crudest: (♚ what a happy face)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-01-02 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Pivot probably!! The temptation would be there and he might get so far as even gathering things for a dark ritual (mostly promises of information would be what would sway him) but Baren canonly suppresses his creature of chaos and would never harm another person so it'd be a neat way to get that regain.

Yes, of course!! Here's some reference pics for the shrine in case you might need them for whatever reason. Also if you need to destroy it that's fine, I can... also get regains from that LMFAO. I don't mind throwing in points to get it fixed since it canonly gets beat up a few times.

oh boy oh boy

Lucy already has a devil on her back in canon, so she could get a regain from this immediately if Mateus picks at her misanthropy and/or offers her a way to get rid of people she doesn't like. It'll have a bit more of an uphill struggle, though, since AU!Lucy has a much better support system and isn't in the middle of a mental breakdown, but Lucy's basically one of the examples under the dictionary definitions of negativity and questionable morality.

Or she'll start mumbling to an illusory shoulder devil that isn't entirely there mid-conversation with Mephistopheles Mateus. The DNA Voice has no manners.

FINE WE CAN BRING ROPE.

oh no.......... elliot will be going into the subway with two combat-hungry idiots

I HOPE HE'S READY FOR THIS
mincingminuet: (Plotting)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-02 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
haha. I can work with that. I expected her to get involved. And she isn't gonna want to betray her friend right? RIGHT?
foeyay: (dozens of possible executions)

[personal profile] foeyay 2018-01-02 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
He will yell back right into the loudspeaker as if he expects it to go both ways. I can't wait for this ridiculousness.

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-01-02 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
if Edgeworth ever mentions wanting to be prepared for the worst, we can have them talking about weapons and possibly Akira showing off his... toy gun

it shoots things, okay

otherwise, Akira remembers the crimes of some key individuals from canon, too.

[personal profile] hairstroke 2018-01-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god. I'm laughing while imagining Xiaolang talking to his family. "LISTEN, I LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR ONE NIGHT AND HE'S ALREADY GETTING MARRIED" while his sisters squee in the background "XIAOLANG DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND YET???"

OH GOD THEY WOULD These two nerds are the worst at expressing affection and concern.

Ahhh that's really cool that you had thought about giving him fencing classes too!! (MIND SYNC COUSINS GO!!! ) ( omg.... what a cute little fighter he is. HE'S A STRONG SMOL CHILD!!! Now I'm just picturing the Zhong family cheering him on if he ever participated in Karate competitions ) THIS IS REALLY CUTE LUNA AND I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN ;A; he'll be strict in his training but he wants to make sure that Xiaolang can properly defend himself in case shit goes down AND YOUR DOG TOO... wait no Jasmine's cool

IT'S FINE, HE'S STILL A PROPER YOUNG MAN. He claims to be too smart for his class anyhow 8l sahigoahg cutie... HE MAY BE A FAIL GUARDIAN BUT HE'S CERTAINLY GOING TO DO HIS BEST TO MAKE SURE HE'S ALL HEALED UP AND FEELING BETTER, he'll just need someone to bring food
mincingminuet: 22 to 79 used with permission. (Talking)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-01-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Cool. That works out. I am happy to work with that.

As far as the shrine goes, I don't think destroying it will happen. Maybe just bust up a few walls. Gilgamesh has no respect for property.

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-01-02 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
THEY CAN GO WITH ELLIOT THEN or on their own since i'm sure they'll have the energy to want to scour the subway as much as they can
maskreant: (pic#11465206)

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-01-02 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
OH BOY akira won't get enough of the subway, but he's also game for whatever reckless and dumb thing Eren is going to do

maskreant: (pic#11630074)

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-01-02 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
oh, boy... most people don't take him for a person that plays something like the cello, but he won't mind talking about it now that he enjoys it more.

finally they can meet in person
redarm: (redallenscar040)

[personal profile] redarm 2018-01-02 04:10 am (UTC)(link)

long_live_the_queen: (tiny possessive creature)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2018-01-02 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!! Lucy gets possessive of her friends, just ask Minako.

It'll take her a bit to shake off Mateus though, and she'll have Questions afterwards.

Going places with combat-hungry idiots is basically is canon life, so This is Fine.

HE'LL BE READY!! I even put in a regain for more spells, just in case.
