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
1st Retrospec Post 9PM EST, sign-ups for February's event close
3rd Group assignments and partner assignments go out 12pm EST
3rd Event Log 9PM EST
14th Hearts Meme
31st AC Due
Mar 3rd February Event ends
see our calendar for a look at upcoming dates this month and further!

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.

1) That bound together thing on the 14th is presumably during the event, right? Does that mean that people in the event are immune to it, must only be paired off with other people in their group or that that day's a reprieve from it? The wording implies that they don't get this at all but I figured I'd check

2) should the heart stones reflect something important to the characters (/most important ideally?) as they are in the AU/currently or as they are in canon? Or can it be literally anything as long as they identify with it?

Hello! I'm Dal, I play both Albert Wesker ([personal profile] manufactured) and Alexander Cumore ([personal profile] drydrown) and I am pumped as hell for this month.

First of all, Wesker is going to be heading out on plot; he doesn't need much bribery or motivation, he believes this is going to help him find answers so he's going, it's as simple as that. He's going to be reckless as hell, in all probability, because his virus has been fully activated along with all its enhancements, he's emotionally pretty dead inside, and honestly he's pretty sure he can't die. So uh. His heart stone will have to do with Jaeger and Elda, because he's actually a halfway well-adjusted person who sort of cares about people here.

Meanwhile, Cumore is not leaving the city on plot; he's...surprisingly joining the recklessness train, however, because while he would usually quite rather die than be useful, that changes a little when one has memories of actually dying. And given that he's used to there being two types of problems (problems you can be needlessly aggro at, and stupid problems that aren't worth bothering with), he's basically handling everything as well as one would expect. So he's probably going to be doing whatever he can to play support and otherwise just kind of be Fucking Pissed At Everything; he's not here for any of Retrospec's shit this month, he hates them collectively for ruining his life, he is greatly comfortable when we are not about him, etc. ...If you want to deal with his unpleasant ass for Valentine's you can. Uh. Be my guest to do that? I am here for that honestly. His heart stone is going to be centered around the desire for love as a whole, though I can't guarantee that he won't just try to break the stone like a dumbass.

If there's anything in particular that you want to plot with me, or if you just want to chat, I can be added at [plurk.com profile] InstantEternity! I welcome anybody and everybody as long as I have some way to verify who you are. Also, if I haven't responded to you here in a timely manner, feel free to poke me somehow; I don't always get notifs, or sometimes they disappear, so I don't ever mind being shot a PM/PP about things!

Is the bound together thing limited to 2 people or could we make a chain of unfortunate souls that all get stuck together as the day go on?

>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

Do they only project emotions if they're being held at the time? Is it specifically the love of the important thing for the person holding it? Or is it just emotions in general?

Hi friends! Welcome to all the newbies, I'm Rayne with my girls Minako Arisato (the female protag from Persona 3 Portable) and Gwen Nielsen (Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere). Feel free to add me on Plurk at [plurk.com profile] raynestorm!

I don't have too much to say this time around...Minako will be in one of the groups and away from the city, but she'll always be available by text, so I'd love for some lighthearted text threads with her to balance out the more plotty things she'll be going through. Old CR, pre-game CR that's new this round...even an accidental text from new CR would be great!

Gwen, however, will be in the city. I've been neglecting her lately, I'd love for her to get into some Valentine's Day shenanigans. She's a dancer by profession, so some rose petal storms and intensified emotions are right up her alley, honestly...if anyone would like her to be their February 14th partner, I'm absolutely open to throwing her at someone!

An Zhen here with Draco Malfoy/Derek Matthews from Harry Potter [personal profile] blondferret. I have some plans for Derek but I would be interested in any new CR and any fun threading ideas. Feel free do message me on my plurk: [plurk.com profile] beianzhen

• Derek is a CSI at Recolle Crime Labs normally.
• However, Derek will be participating in the February Event so he will be have all sorts of adventures there. Which is probably a good thing because if he was in the city, he would probably have a very angry reaction to the valentine shenanigans going on. No, Derek does not need any romantic incidents in his life right now.
• Even though Derek will be away from the city, he will still be available by text, so if you need to contact him for any reason, texting is the way to do it.
• Throughout the month Derek will be getting new spells back and trying them out, so check out my permissions post here if you haven't filled it out yet and you will allow Derek to use magic on your character.

Hello I'm Charles I play Elda Marker (this journal) and Natalia Fairweather ([personal profile] nachetanya) and you can feel free to add me at [plurk.com profile] bigdamnhero if you want to plot some stuff out or just... want to add me I guess!

Okay so Elda is going to be on the event long partnered with her son. She's in this mostly to get to the heart of things. That said she'll also be around prior to that / to be networked during that if you want. I'm not sure what if any major regains I'm doing for her this month and as for her heart stone I'm... undecided. ... Look I'm waiting on the event info before I decide too much about her. But she will be pimping her IC Guide on the introduction post!

That said, everyone please hit her up on her inbox for network shit on the homefront or from other groups? If we split up?

Meanwhile, Natalia is going to be remaining in the city! And want to do absolutely everything with her and the people left as long as you're into it. Those arrows sound hilarious, so I'm there. The heart stone she has will probably be a love for animals (including being vegetarian), but I'm not 100% decided there? That just sounds funny to project onto people.

She'll be a little wigged at people she knows going out into the unknown and thus is ready to support in whatever way that the people in the city an support our events-er too. In terms of regains for her I was considering getting her Blades superpower this month, but I want to give the blades a dramatic introduction I don't think I can pull off with so many people she knows out of the city. So I think that's better next month. In lieu of that she might get one of her suits of armor? And be like "wow."

I absolutely want a partner for her for the 14th so if you're into that? Come for me, I am totally down for that. ... I also think I might try to promote the casino she works at in her event top or a log or something I'm not sure, if anyone would be interested in that tell me?

Hi I'm Yuff! I play Noah Campbell/Allen Walker ([personal profile] redarm) and Elliot Craig ([personal profile] fiddlestick). If you're interested in plotting, I can be hit up over at [plurk.com profile] neutronstar.

I don't have a whole lot for my two, but here we go:

Elliot: Is a music loving college student from NYC who can use magic!. He will be taking part of the plot, with an RNG partner! He'll need super little convincing to go. He's a healer and a mage, so he'll be a lot of help as long as you don't expect him to lift anything heavy.

On another note, If anyone wants healing/stat boosting food to bring with them during the plot (or even if they aren't going anywhere and just want magic food), Elliot will be selling it throughout the month. You can take a look here to see what he has to offer! My only request is that you talk to me so I KNOW that someone is buying something.

Noah: is a sullen high schooler with a weird arm and a constant golem companion. He will be remaining in the city! He'll be helping out with any issues, and basically strongly ignoring Valentines Day because he's a single sullen teenager. I did buy the cannon upgrade to his Innocence arm, but it won't unlock unless he experiences some dire situation so...I'll see how that goes with the plot??

Hello! I'm Amber and I play Kaede Akamatsu from New Dangan Ronpa V3 here!

She will not be leaving to participate in the event, so she will be here for anyone who wants to join her on adventures in the city-wide log! Also, she will be getting back her original eye color (which is purple!) on the 1st so it will be a very eventful couple of days for her.

I don't have any solid plans for her, but she'll be around the city and trying to keep in touch with people who left for the event. She'll also be around to worry with those who are left in the city.

And for February 14th, I'd love for Kaede to have a partner!

Feel free to add me on plurk ([plurk.com profile] secondhandmagic) if you'd like!

after burnout blues and a long hiatus i am back and ready to roll!! let's do this.

AMANDA ([personal profile] broomdance) is staying in the city! she's been on autopilot for the last month, getting into trouble and is as restless as usual. i'd like to focus on building more cr and strengthing what cr she does have! as such, things like the heart stone and valentine's event seem like good opportunities although i do not have solid plans in mind! but amanda is flexible, she can kinda be everywhere, she has the energy to spare.

MALIK is a free bird after a couple months in lock up, and he's signed up for the event. i plan on regaining his ability to summon ra, and possibly some mind... stuff? if i have the points left over or they aren't too extreme. astral projection maybe. he's not as grossly hostile and violent as he was before, though still a douchebag. good for negative and conflicting cr!

eta: feel free to hit me up @ [plurk.com profile] pangoro if that's more your style!

Hello everyone! I'm Gore, and my characters here are Kurt Wagner from X-Men Evolution and the Dangan Ronpa 2 version of Byakuya Togami, here known as Byakuya Kirigiri. You can find me on plurk as [plurk.com profile] goreo.

Kurt Wagner (19 year old college student / former popular teen actor) will be among those staying in the city! He may or may not end up regaining a devilish new appearance that comes with a coat of blue fur this month. I know that I definitely will be throwing him at the Valentines-related shenanigans, and I'll be looking for someone for the bound together stuff if anyone is interested! (If the regain goes through, it could also be true if it could be with someone who initially won't be accepting of Kurt's true appearance!)

As for Byakuya Kirigiri (20 year old junior college student / business major / McDonalds manager), he's been signed up to join in on the group event! So we'll see what happens with him there. But he'll be sure to check in with those in the city whenever he can. I'll be looking to regain his remaining prominent Togami-related memories, though that should be accomplished through this month's freebies.

aight let's do this

MAY (small-time hood, general ne'er do well, PIRATE), in addition to everything else, is getting the og MAYSHIP back. this big-ass thing. she won't have the ability to pilot it yet, but hell, she definitely got a ship back, even if it wasn't her original.

as for the event, she's stuck in the city, and her emotions are in Weird Places right now, so be on the look out for stuff like that.


KASEN (artist, renaissance man, eccentric) is signed up for the main event, and thus will be gone, but I'm open to some early plotting there if you're up for it.

HAHAHA FUCK

WHAT A MONTH FOR XIAOLANG TO REALIZE HE HAS AN ACTUAL CRUSH ON SOMEONE

HE'S SO BONED

But sup dudes!! To the new folks here, I'm Luna and I have Xiaolang/Syaoran Li here who tl;dr is a thirteen year old Recolle Middle School AP/Honor student from Hong Kong!! He's normally pretty serious and reliable and a Good Boy deep under his bratty, prickly shell, but this month he's probably going to be a distracted, awkward mess (well..... more of one than he usually is, anyway), because of..... certain realizations over a Certain Someone (THANKS... CHIYO....)

Plot-wise, Xiaolang's going to be one of the people doing group stuff! The incentive of learning what the hell is going on with the app and the city is enough to make him go (and also maybe putting some space between him and Sakura because of his CONFUSING FEELINGS), although hopefully the NPC finds some way to cover his school absence for this long because.... yikes he is going to be missing SO much class HAHA 8[ He's most likely going to be the youngest in whatever group he lands in, so no doubt that's going to... get under his skin a lot after people treating him like a kid so much last month re: sword stuff HAHA......

He will be available for texts though, so echoing Rayne in if anyone wants to send him some light-hearted text threads or inbox spam while he's away on group stuff, feel free!! Even past CR and accidental texts is good with me, since I'm always up for new CR! Just someone talk to this child because he's probably going to realize how much he actually misses Sakura while he's away and that's.... that's not going to be fun..........

also he is actually going to die once he finds out what these stones can do?? ALL OF CHINA WILL KNOW ABOUT YOUR HUGE CRUSH ON SAKURA KINOMOTO, XIAOLANG

Feel free to add me @ [plurk.com profile] Urameshi if you want to hash some stuff out or just add me in general!

Hello everyone! This is Wolf with Frederick ([personal profile] embearass) and Bolin ([personal profile] tuffguy). Feel free to add me on plurk over at [plurk.com profile] lycanroc). Both of mine are going to be out and about in the city during the event!

Frederick is a police officer and is going to be (gladly!!) riding around on his horse patrolling more often than usual, especially on the 3rd. He's going to be extra on guard and feel free to notice that this guy is riding around with an axe as well. If anybody wants to coordinate some sort of guard duty shifts between them and Fred, hit me up!

Bolin is a college student and has been severely neglected recently so I'm going to be working on getting him out and about. I'd love to do some Valentine's day shenanigans with him, so if someone wants to be his February 14th partner, let me know. Also if someone wants to be on the receiving end of Bolin's intense emotions as well.

Hi there, I'm Redd and I'm playing Jaeger ([personal profile] scythegun) and Rossiu ([personal profile] onemillion)! If you're interested in plotting you can chat with me here or hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] pokerap! Feel free to add me if you'd just like to chat too!

As for my characters, Jaeger is going to be dealing with the event; he's partnered up with Wesker and surely that can only end well. Jaeger regained his heart blastia recently, which means he's in a weird place of wanting to do anything and everything to avoid thinking about it for too long. So he'll be super invested in helping out for the duration of the event! If you want to hit him up for non-event related things, I'm sure we can work something out there! Jaeger runs a curio shop so if you're looking for a specific item for a regain, we can probably do something with that before the event starts!

Rossiu is obviously staying behind and he'll be slowly dying because Valentine's Day is horrible for single people. Especially with Retrospec getting involved. I don't have any solid plans for him yet, but if there's anything you want to do please let me know! Rossiu's a college kid who plans on being a teacher someday, but for right now he's mostly busy with getting his core classes knocked out. He's also kind of shy? Please someone make him leave the house and stop focusing only on his homework.

Oh yeah, I'm also up for anyone being Rossiu's Valentine if you want to do that! He'll just slowly die, surely that'll be funny!!

I've just got the one kid Bucky over here, and he'll be involved in the group events this month partnered with John Egbert.

BUT, that aside, I've just had him regain some knives and grenades so like. he's got a frightening amount of violent tools on him now, if anyone wants to do anything with that (in a talking sense, not in a....using them sense). He'll def be keeping them on his person a lot with whatever chaos this event throws at him, so that could be something? Also, I'm planning to have him remember his own death this month (FINALLY), if anyone wants to get involved with that somehow!

Otherwise, I don't have much figured out but if you have any ideas on stuff to do with Bucky, you can also always hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] CaptainPlanette!
