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.

haha hi i'm late. it's ty here with john egbert and rise kujikawa!!

john's going to be out on the event doing who knows what, partnered with bucky barnes and making sure nobody dies ig. he'll be available via text and would greatly appreciate keeping in contact with people so i'm up for some text threads through the month! i signed him up to be sorted in either group 3 or 4 so /fingerguns his heartstone's going to probably be based on his fondness for the other betas (dave, rose, jade) since he has plenty of memories tied to them.

rise's brand new! rise has no idea what's going on with this wacko app or where people are going or anything and she'll be highly concerned. she'll be wanting to figure stuff out and i'm up for chaining her to people on the 14th. her heartstone will probably be her AU brothers or ballet, undecided.

this is a pretty lame plotting comment because i'm all over but yeah, hi, let's go! reach me on [plurk.com profile] alternatively if you want as well ♥

pseudonyms: sirencoquettes @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-01 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!!! It has to be, I need it. Let's figure out a way to toss them together and make magic dude, you're keeping her in the city right?
nachetanya: (Link to the Past)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-01 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes she's still in the city! I mean Elda's the one going out of it so Natalia gets to be the love mix
pseudonyms: sirencoquettes @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-01 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Perf. A lot of stuff will crop up with the event log so we're bound to find a way to toss them together even with the valentine's shenanigans going on! If anything I can hit you up on the post tonight if you're top-leveling or something to get them talking at least.
nachetanya: (Kiss Me Kate)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-01 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure if I will or not!! I mean Elda will and I think I will for Nat? Maybe??? It might just be around for her we'll see but I'm sure there'll be stuff with the event log
windeity: (Default)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-02-01 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-01 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
i am so bad at au workshops so i'm just coming in here instead to scream at you about rise and that i want to do 2039101 things with her and that i would love to rise to the occasion of threading dumb things with souji and rise

haha get rise also this is the only icon that i have with rise
pseudonyms: (So let's stay in)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-01 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ichi!!! Please give me Souji threads, it'll be really cute and fun and Rise will be kind of terrified but it's fine she'll eventually remember she's used to bossing him around. Also I can't believe you

You're sending Souji on the event iirc so maybe they should mingle on the Ret post or just a random text of some kind? I know Yu's going on the event too so I'll figure something out!!
tarotcards: ((((o(*゚▽゚*)o))))

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-01 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
rise bossing souji around, yeah, that's about p4 in a nutshell for you, but yes! souji's going off to the event so he won't be really around but they should definitely mingle or do a random text! their first meeting has to be something bizarre, that's for sure

i'll make sure to have naegi bother rise as well since he's in the city and running around like a headless chicken
pseudonyms: (step out a commotion)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-01 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
My fav part of P4 honestly. Let's do it, bizarre sounds right also DOES NAEGI NEED AN ADULT. PLEASE BE NICE TO NAEGI....
tarotcards: (tumblr_inline_n30527xQJj1qhaskl)

[personal profile] tarotcards 2018-02-02 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
NAEGI PROBABLY DOES NEED AN ADULT, PLEASE ADULT HIM, RISE even if you're younger than him by like four years.............

because lbr here, we both know that it's not a matter of me being nice to naegi or not. it's a matter of life being nice to naegi
pseudonyms: sirencoquettes @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-02 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
like you're not wrong but also lbr naegi needs a long nap

poor, poor naegi

I'll get cr with him too just you watch

[personal profile] darin 2018-02-02 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
ty if you're still down i'd love to do texting/retrospec threads with rise and maki since we talked about them totally skirting around the prospect of meeting in person! and like honestly maki has probably seen rise at school and just totally made a 180 and gone the other way because she's terrified of getting to know her irl so to speak.
pseudonyms: sirencoquettes @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-02 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
gigiiiiii

i'm super here for it! i'm going to top-level with her for sure since i'm just tagging around with my other character, but we should absolutely make this a thing! also god i can just picture that but it's fine, rise's currently like that with a lot of people smh. they can recognize each other's names and just go like "wait..."

but yes tl;dr let me love you and tag you
darin: (Default)

[personal profile] darin 2018-02-03 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
i'm excited!! they'll be normal friends one day

one day...

[personal profile] invocate 2018-02-02 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
haha i've been trying to decide between Li-Na's love for her AU brother or ballet... leaning towards ballet
pseudonyms: sirencoquettes @ lj (Default)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-02-02 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
definitely do ballet erica! if they shared one it'd be interesting to see how their emotions reflect off of each other about the same subject I think o:
admiringly: (03)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-02-03 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
slams into this comment even later

ty!! can i add you on plurk?

dave is being cagey about dating john but once she finds out it's john, she's going to be so Betrayed (for like two seconds) because john could've told her too?? WHY DON'T HER FRIENDS TELL HER WHEN THEY'RE IN LOVE OR DATING etc

chiyo and rise can be highly concerned together, too, but that is also why chiyo is throwing herself headfirst into vday stuff... to stave off the worry. chiyo can try to help rise figure things out or rise can try to help chiyo's vday endeavors?
windeity: (Default)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-02-04 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
doesnt swap journals

ARA!!! yes absolutely! I kept meaning to ask you and then /gestures to plot

also oh no. oh noooo!!! chiyo deserves better friends that aren't these morons and also he probably assumed that dave would tell her. depending how things are i might have him text her early while he's on his mission to call in a favor

the girls definitely can be highly concerned together but also rise would 10000% be on board to help chiyo's vday endeavors? she loves the holiday and chiyo's one of her favorite people so she'd happily take the distraction
