FEBRUARY PLOT POST

MONTHLY PLOT POST
PLOT POST - February
Welcome to our February 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, happy anniversary! It's been a wild year since the game's opening and the mod team is so grateful and happy with the success of this game! You guys have been fantastic players and have seen us through some bumpy and some fun times and we cannot wait for another year and the next phase of the game. We appreciate everything that you guys do, we appreciate your patience with us, and we appreciate all of the time and dedication you guys have put in to making this game yours. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

-We would like to update on the status of plot clues and plot clues that can be bought! Due to shifts in the game going forward (more information will be available in March) we will no longer be offering plot clues that can be bought via points. Plot information may be available to obtain in other ways, however. Please follow up in March and keep an eye on February's event!

-As we start moving forward into the next phase of the game, we would like to take the time to mention that the tone of the game will begin to shift as well! Events will become more hands-on and impactful, player choice will begin to really matter, and we will be adding some more serious/darker/whatever word you'd like to use elements to the game over the next portion of the overall story! More information will follow post-February!

-Due to recent shifts in the playerbase, we are down a few AC helpers and would love to have more on deck! If you would like to help us process AC at the end of every month, please send us a PM or leave a note on the mod contact page.

-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.

IMPORTANT DATES

WORLD CHANGES

• Phantom Thief merchandise can now be found throughout the city. This means that keychains, shirts, and etc with a fancy logo can now be found along with make-your-own PT kits made up of masks and etc.
• Pokémon berries are now also available in-game! These berries are mixed in and sold with regular produce and can also be found in the wild.

Be sure to check out our world changes page over here and our world regains page to track all changes and read up on our guidelines. 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/personal locations/etc.

EVENTS
Hang tight, Recollé, you're not out of the woods yet. Though you may expect the dome to come down on the first of the month, that dome stays firmly in place and the sun's hidden from the city until February 3rd.

On February 3rd with the post of the city-wide event log, the dome will come tumbling down and reveal the long-awaited project Joanne hinted about in last month's Retrospec post. While we cannot give away too much detail, we will say that characters will have the chance to explore and their help will be needed to stabilize the world as they know it. Brainstorm your character's strengths and weaknesses as you'll need to team up and work together to create something new.

In addition on the 3rd, characters who have signed up for the mod-run special event will have their event logs go live and they will disappear with their groups. You can read more about this event over here.

Some of you may remember that February 3rd has been traditionally known as Founder's Day in the city! However, Founder's Day won't happen this year and instead characters will be given the choice to help or to hinder how the city is run. More details will follow in the log itself.

Aside from this, throughout the month of February characters only in the city will find themselves targeted by arrows shot from invisible cupids. These arrows have different effects including:

-Heart-shaped pupils
-Rose petal storms
-Intensified emotions
-Flipped emotions

All characters (city-based or group-based) will also find themselves in possession of a small colored stone shaped like a heart. These hearts will be tied to characters and when held will fill them with love for something incredibly important such as a person, an item, or an ideal. However, these hearts will also project emotions onto anyone nearby and if they're broken there will be permanent consequences.

On February 14th, characters in the city will find themselves getting nice and cozy with one character in particular. Characters will find themselves bound together for a full 24 hours with the very first Retrospec user they see that day. The effects above will also be in play and it's all about teamwork getting through the day.

Finally: as mentioned, our brand new NPC will make an appearance with this log and more information will be available in the log itself.

FREEBIE

-This month's freebie will require one thread from the mod-posted Restrospec post on the 1st featuring at least five consecutive comments from you with someone new. We define someone new as someone new to the game, or simply someone your character has never tagged before. As usual, this regain should be turned into our regains request post with "February Freebie" and the qualifying thread link in the explanation section! As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past February.

-Group event players will be able to qualify for additional freebies (2 free memories and a 10-20 point item or 20 points) by participating in their groups and turning in 30 comments spread across all three objectives with a minimum of five comments per thread and featuring at least two characters.

-City event players will be able to qualify for an additional free memory by participating in the log events and turning in at least 15 comments spread over a minimum of 2 threads (5 comments minimum per threads.) City event players may also qualify for a free 10-20 point item (or 20 points) if one of these threads is with a character you have not tagged before.

-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.

well this month is gonna be wild isn't it

okay so Leo Valdez will be going to do Important Retrospec Business or whatever, so he won't be getting bound to anyone, thank god. The goal is for him to remember his role in his mother's death in canon, and if that happens, he is going to be an absolute wreck. He'll stick around for the length of the event, but after he'll be ghosting on his friends so. That sucks. BUT UNTIL THEN his heart stone will be centered on his love for his family, specifically his mother. Cue extra suffering when he gets that memory back lmao

Jack Kelly will be in the city ready to cover Founder's Day stuff for the newspaper... except that's not happening so he'll be dealing with a storm of rose petals from those cupid arrows instead. His heart stone will be all about his feelings for Davey, his partner and best friend in canon and current roommate who lost Retrospec a few months ago. Jack never quite got over him forgetting everything. He might be getting stuck with Katherine one the 14th, so Jack will just be spilling emotions all over the place for a while.

Ochako Uraraka is also hanging around the city, doing school things as usual. Her heart stone will be all about her wish to make more money for her family. Might go with the intensified emotions for her from the arrows. And if anyone would like to be stuck with her on the 14th, I'm open!

addendum or something

[personal profile] compendiem 2018-02-01 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I slept on it and decided loving humanity is more of a good end trait that Minato wasn't able to fully realize in canon, so his heart stone will be narrowed down to something more selfish and meaningful to himself specifically: his love for SEES. For him, SEES is the first place he felt like he was needed, that he was depended up on as a Leader, and that he was actively making a difference. SEES essentially gave meaning to his life. The bad end decision largely revolved around alleviating the painful memories that tied his team down; he didn't feel like he had the power to save the world, but he has the power to save those closest to him and he took it.

laughs, if you do the former, I hope there's some mechanic that allows people to learn what the stone represents

Who needs hospitals when you can heal with magic!!! I hope Lalli's ready to see Minato shoot himself in the head

Hello! I'm Haki and I play Daisuke Niwa (this journal) and Mammon of Greed (Manon Akamine/[personal profile] wantnotneed). I've been on hiatus for a while due to RL stuff and am finally getting back into rp again. With that said, I will be dropping all my threads because they're... very very old (I'm sorry), but if you would like to continue them, please don't hesitate to tell me!

Daisuke was on temporary regain loss during my hiatus and will be having his hair back to white again from black. His hair is probably the most adventurous part of him, and it's not even his fault. Anyway, he's going to be one of the many people that will be disappearing for the event.

Manon was on autopilot, so things have been the same for her. She'll be staying in the city. She doesn't have anyone sticking to her during Valentine's Day, so she's free for that.

I don't have much solid planned out for anyone and will probably make things up as I go. But if someone wants to do things with my characters, I'm all ears! My plurk is at [plurk.com profile] factious if you need it.

RAYNE I HAVEN'T TAGGED YOU IN A WHILE so lighthearted texts from souji in the form of "my team just found this unknown mushroom, bet you $10 that i can eat it", y/n?

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-01 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
yuff, i really wasn't joking when i said that souji is going to slam $50 onto elliot's counter and demand 2939191 cups of coughfee for this event

like he just literally walks up and goes

gore, i want to let you know that naegi just remembered the first fte with original flavour togami so he's getting some real Um vibes and he will have to talk to byakuya regarding that memory

text him about it in between the "oh my god please stay safe as you go through the group event and quite possibly fight monsters why is this happening" messages

Hello! Mich here! Playing Zack Fair/Zackary Fairweather. You can always catch me at [plurk.com profile] michrure as well!

Zack is a soldier in the military reserve that’s currently on leave due to a shoulder injury. He works at an autobody shop fixing cars and has regular physiotherapy treatments. Lately his shoulder has been giving him some trouble and that might be because he shot the dome with a gun once and got knocked out for it. He also owns a baby Tonberry named Tesla who likes to stabs things.

He will be participating in the event with partner Angeal Hewley/Andrew Hughes! He’s recently regained thunder materia and a broadsword so he is equipped for some level two puzzles and monsters.

Later in the month he will hopefully be regaining his SOLDIER strength. He will probably be breaking a lot of things by accident.

I’m always looking for more friends that are in Zack’s age range. As well as Valentine’s Day stuff should be pretty hilarious! Light hearted things for that would be awesome if anyone wants to get stuck with him.

hey, wolf! i feel like souji and bolin need some more cr since souji's best friends with bolin's brother so they should probably interact again. plus, i would love some more threads between these two!

souji's going to be partaking in the group event with mako as his partner so he won't be around in the city so much but maybe he could text bolin to keep him updated on how mako is doing or texts him really dumb things like "haha i drew on mako's face while he was asleep, i'm taking art requests on his face"? if you're up for that!

while souji is away on his heroic event quest, he will make sure to text with tatsuma regularly to keep him updated on the fact that he's, you know, not dead and all that. and he'll make sure to come back for valentine's day to make him dead grandma's famous something dish

in the meanwhile, let us do things with naegi and tatsuma in the city. help him, tatsuma-san, you're his only hope, put him on a rooftop

Excellent! I am totally down for that and any level of Togami unsureness! He'll still text Naegi to make sure that he's doing alright and making sure to eat

does kyouko want to get stuck to naegi for 24 hours because then she can have all the fun of:

1) staying in naegi's apartment for longer than 10 minutes and freezing to death because haha paying for heat........... yeah sounds fake
2) watching him eat nothing but bagels for an entire day because they were all free from work
3) being there first-hand as he goes "oh hey retrospec sent me another item. hm, i wonder if it's actually good this time that'd be nice hm let's open this u-- [shinji ikari screamiing]" as i give him back a second murder weapon
4) so much more terrible things???

Of course it is Matt! Of course!

But yeees, I would love for them to interact more too! He's completely interested in getting to know the people in Eren's life. Maybe they'll end up in the same group?? If not we'll work something out.

And aw yes sounds great, I look forward to it!

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-01 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
souji's also signed up for the event so he won't be in the city too often but when he's back in and out of recolle, i'd love for him to run into matt again! either whether matt's in his daredevil costume or not since souji is still really curious and ??? about that random vigilante devil who appeared to help tatsuma that one night

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-01 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I AM SO GLAD naegi is definitely going to die and she's going to have deal with him for an entire day

just how will she survive

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-01 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
daisuke's hair is more rebellious and adventurous than daisuke himself

but naegi will make sure to pack an entire backpack full of supplies for daisuke before he goes off on his crazy adventure. make sure to text him everyday and let him know that you're not, like... dead or something.

in the meanwhile, manon and naegi should hang out for... some... reason...
