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.

With darkness overtaking everything, will the plants be affected by it? And will NPCs just think it's always been dark like this?

I think I'm a little confused: will Recolle be in darkness outside of streetlamps/etc., or will the sun still be shining?

Heyhey, it's Card and I just have a couple of very small things for this plotting post!

Minato owns a bow that shines like the sun, so if anybody needs a source of light, he'll be carrying it around with him. He also has Personas that can create fire, and one that shines like the sun itself, but he hasn't learned how to summon them yet, so they're ??? until he does.

Mafuyu won $500 from ReVA's winter event and she's going to put it towards forming a high school club; a few invites have been sent out over the Christmas gift meme but if you're a high schooler and want in on it...! lmk. Specifics are still being worked out, but it's more or less a "Card is going to arbitrarily make up problems plaguing the school so the club can tackle them" thing, for some school setting involvement and also, selfishly, so I can trigger her memories of being a club member.

Other than that, I'm going to play the month by ear! I have two weeks left of vacation so I'll be tagging around a lot during the first half of the month, but if there's either character you really want threads with, please let me know so I can make a note and also pace myself, since I also plan to put up another character on the workshop/TDM, and the latter half of the month will be focused on this.

Anyways, yes, happy 2018, let's have a blast! \o/

hi, guys! it's lucy, dropping this off briefly before ac. you can add me at [plurk.com profile] lucylovespluto if you like and have not as usual! and if you would like to plot with my three i have:

dave strider [personal profile] parodeity, 18yo college student who will continue to wear shades even in the dark, because fuck that. he's got time travel jutsu if you need that ever and also can do Sword Things! he will probably investigate the tunnels and the dome.

kyouko kirigiti [personal profile] evidentiary, 21yo college student who is now constantly wearing gloves...she's also a super detective now?? much amaze. i may try to do a log with her this month, or a post. she will 100% investigate tunnels...

hinata aoi [personal profile] livens, 16yo high school junior who is cheerful as all heck and who is now acrobatic. he will not really mind the dark overmuch because hey it's interesting but he will kinda miss the light...? come back light. he's less interested in the tunnels than the other two but would show up perhaps.

also! i will be mobile from the 4th to the 9th so i may tag slightly slower than usual in that timeframe but i'll still be aroundish...i'm happy to make whatever dumb plans come to mind.

Sakura refuses to let this lack of sun business keep them from practicing, especially since she knows Minato has a sunlit bow.

Togusa

[personal profile] standalonehuman 2018-01-01 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
So! More subway lines, more subway lines, more subway lines. Togusa is going down there as soon as he can.

Neighborhood Watch! We've got another chance to organize before February, Minato, Elda, and anyone else who wants to help organize? Let's get this going.

Otherwise, I'm dropping all of Togusa's points on regains, anything so that maybe he can start downloading the images from what he sees? We'll see how it can work. (If I can get all the functionality, he'll get his riot gear and the thermoptic camo by February?)

Hello friends, I am Zero! I just play Eizen/Isaac McKinstry so plans for this month are as follows:

- Reaper’s Curse! If you’re not canon familiar with Berseria, Eizen is a reaper. Reapers all have different… abilities… but essentially they are malakhim/seraphim that have a distorted domain that hurts others instead of bringing a blessing. Eizen’s curse is that he brings bad luck and ill fortune to others and himself.

This will be a little by little thing, so at first it will just mainly affect him, I believe. I’ll hash it out when the time comes, but it won’t be full blown Eizen is a cursed being right away. We’ll ease him (and everyone else) into it. :3

- Malak stuff! Also true to canon, I’m going to start having him remember what kind of being he is. Most specifically I want him to remember the importance of true names and how Malakhim are born. So anyway to help regain that would be awesome!

- Drinking! Now that he can taste drinks again, someone is gonna go extreme barhopping. Drinking buddies, unite!


That’s all that I have solid plans for right now. Otherwise, hit me up with ideas or regains you wanna bounce off of me from Eizen’s dumb museum of a pawn shop. Either hit me up here, or you can catch me on plurk [plurk.com profile] aidios!

ETA: Because I am a gud reader... TUNNELS. SOMEONE EXPLORE TUNNELS WITH HIM SO HE CAN REMEMBER SHIT ABOUT WANTING TO BUILD DEEP SEA TUNNELS.

Emil will potentially be camping outside the entrance to the tunnels and stuff in order to try and attach himself to a group going in, so let me know if you want me to have him drop in!

Also he has a flamethrower?? I'm not sure if that'll work to create light but if it does, let me know if y'all want uh, fire!

As always u can hit me up at [plurk.com profile] first_quadrant

Hi guys, Rayne here, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Looking forward to another great year of RP with you all ♡ As always, you can find me on [plurk.com profile] raynestorm if you need me for anything!

MINAKO

My main girl is going to try and take a chill pill after being briefly hospitalized in December, but otherwise she'll be around as usual! Some things to note:

  • The darkness is definitely going to freak her out because of her fear of darkness, so expect her to be walking around with Pumpkin Jack a lot! Feel free to use this as an in for learning about her Persona powers. She also has Seth for all your fire needs...if you're willing to have a dragon breathe fire into your fireplace, I guess ;>

  • Shrine log! Made this late December but now I'm officially pimping it out. Come ring in the new year at the shrine and temple festivities! Also includes a Coming-of-Age Day prompt for those Japanese/Japanese-American characters who are 20 or turning 20. This is open to everyone and lasts the whole of January!

  • Sorey and Mikleo's wedding. Minako is Mikleo's Maid of Honor so she'll be helping him out in the background, but new and old CR can find her for a chat during the dinner and such! Her boyfriend David Song will be her plus one, so anyone who wants to chat him up is very welcome to too~

  • Helping Togusa recruit for the neighborhood watch. I was planning on having her ask the Persona cast and her close CR first, but with the month of darkness this brings an opportunity for even non-powered people to join the watch (aka becoming an army of FLASHLIGHT CARRIERS or to help set up a giant light set up in Tribunal Terrace as part of ReVA work). If you'd be interested in having her approach your character about that, or vice versa, let's talk something out!

  • She will also be interested in exploring the dome structure and subway system. I was gonna buy a plot clue this month but since that's out the window, it's full investigation mode. Exploring the dome in particular would involve flying up to it. I'll be asking the mods what will happen if she does that in a second.

  • Need help with regains? Minako is here for you for anything related to guns, spears, dragons or summon creatures, music, dogs, or cheerful action girls in general.

    GWEN

    Gwen is still new enough that I'll be throwing her where I can, so I'll be tagging around with her on the shrine log and event log for sure. Some things of note:

  • I'm planning on having her regain some special seeds, mainly the seeds that birth whole sheeps and chickens in ten seconds. Any gardeners or animal lovers, please come to help her when I put up a Retrospec post for that...she only knows how to take care of the main domesticated animals...

  • Need help with regains? Gwen is here if you have anything related to singing or dancing. Since she still doesn't have many regains herself, though, I'd love to start some new CR so she can get some regains related to knights, fairies, rabbits, kings, fathers, witches, or birds.
  • matchbreaker: (the one below was the worse option)

    Hi I'm Charles if you want to talk to me more specifically you can add me on plurk [plurk.com profile] bigdamnhero or if you want PM me for my discord I guess?! Anyway moving on to my characters after the broad disclaimer:

    So Elda Marker (this journal) can see in the dark because she's steadily becoming a vampire. So that's her contribution. I think this month I'm going to regain either her ability to control bats / to have a colony of bats in her house or start off on the vampire thing with fangs? I'm not sure which but I'm leaning towards the bats, weigh in if you have a thought one way or another. She/I have been working on an IC Guide for Retrospec and all its nonsense and I'll be doing a post about her first draft of it soon? ... I kinda hope no one else has been doing that too / it sounds interesting / it sounds worthwhile. So expect that sometime this week probably.

    She also has like some outstanding commitments to try and help organize a neighborhood watch group but idk the state of that I need to be more serious there. But I think she's the one I have most viable to do in and do some tunnel stuff unless anyone wants to suggest this is even a thing to:

    Natalia Fairweather ([personal profile] nachetanya) is one month 2 on Retrospec here and she's going to be regaining I think her red eyes and a tattoo-like thing on her chest. I actually have enough to regain superpowers for her but I'm not sure if I will just yet...? It's touch choice! She might also get her rapier because that seems fun. Anyway, she's otherwise still a normal girl now concerned about what this is doing to the city and is going back to classes at college and is like w e w this is weird.

    ... Plot with me maybe this is clearly detailed.

    ❁ FAWKES

    ❁ With regard to the city going dark, I'm hoping to have Fawkes regain his lamp weeds, which are tiny adorable plants that act as a natural source of light! They're rather small, but they also never go out, so in theory he would be able to pot them and give them out to people in need of cute plant-y light sources!

    ❁ I'm also toying with the idea of having him maraud around in the darkness in his kitsune form, for anyone who might be interested in having a run-in with a seven-foot-tall Inuyasha-looking motherfucker with ears and a tail!

    ❁ I'm definitely always in the market for new CR, so if your character is likely to be around Recolle University or typical college hangouts, let me know! Fawkes is also a gamer, for people who might be interested in running into him at the arcade or online!


    ❖ CARMEN

    ❖ Is not responsible for the theft of the sun, seriously

    ❖ I'd really like to have her do an open red carpet / formal gala party log of some variety either this month or in the near future, so vague interest-check as to whether or not anyone would be down for something like that.

    ❖ I also definitely want to continue building out her CR as well, particularly now that she's starting to get back some of her more absurd thief memories!


    And for both of them, if there's anything you'd like to do with me, please feel free to hit me up! ETA: I'm also down for exploration if anybody wants to do that!

    Matt is one of the city prosecutors who works closely with the police, he also happens to be blind meaning the missing sunlight won't mess with his daily routine. If your character needs a hand from someone who can get around without any light he's usually happy to lend a hand.

    He's also Recolle's newest Vigilante (name not given because he doesn't remember it yet) who will continue to intervene where there's trouble. If you missed last month's log don't worry, I'd be happy to plot with anyone else who wants their character to run into him.

    I'm definitely interested in the subway exploration plot if anyone wants Matt in their group. Matt has super senses that can act like a radar, meaning he'll be able to pick up on subtle details and far away objects that others can't, including down in the dark subway.

    Please take a moment to fill out this Permissions Post for Matt's super senses if you haven't already. Thanks!

    Now that the holidays and classes are done I should be available to tag around more so bring on the plotting and CR!

    Yooo it's Marie with her two disasters! Hit me up on [plurk.com profile] ignitible for all your plotting needs /o/

    Sakura will be starting school this month, majoring in traditional art, and given she has no way to get around the sudden darkness... yeah, not too happy about that. Or at least until she potentially drags some people around like they're stars in a horror film. MAKE THE BEST OF THIS SHIT, SHE SAYS. I'll be putting up a log with her this month, especially as one of her regains might have her... passing out in random places. Try not to trip over her in the dark, guys.

    Sanji is absolutely getting his fire powers back this month since goddamn, he's gonna need them. So he'll also be getting a log with him just walking down the street, set on fire... as you do. I don't have any major plans for him this month besides general memory regain, but he's available for anything so long as your character can handle an asshole... or even if they can't handle an asshole. +_+

    I’m on mobile so please excuse any typos for this...

    But I really would love to get new CR with Mako. There are two things I am roughly planning for now, should anyone be interested I. It:

    Lunar New Years Planning

    Mako and Li-Na are tentatively planning something for this. Yes, I know it’s in February but if there are other characters that celebrate it and want to get in on the planning, let me know! It’s usually a feast. And hopefully February works out, even if they may have to push the date a bit? We will see!

    Firebending

    So I have the probending stadium up as a HOPEFULLY power safe place to practice... and because I like memories. But other than that, I plan on putting up a practice post later on the beach... or offering help to people who want it for light now I GUESS... but definitely would love to have new people to meet?!

    **EDIT** also man I guess time to mention that Mako was on Cognac? GOOO TEAM

    and why she did not do that

    because she is not raven
