JUNE PLOTTING POST

MONTHLY PLOT POST
PLOT POST - June
Welcome to our June 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

-As mentioned last month, we will be proceeding with a series of events that will be chained together, building off of each other and influenced by player involvement! Events from now until October will be part of a set series of continuous effects and influences.

-The next app around will not be until the end of September to allow for a smooth operation with the game's plot and chain of events. New characters will arrive in June, and the next opportunity for new characters to arrive will be October.

-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.

-In addition, please be aware that a regain is only eligible for AC if it has been approved by us in the current AC month! Even if it's a backdated thread if the memory is triggered in the current month and receives an approval comment from us this will count! However, regains that are not approved by us are not eligible for AC and will count as a strike. Please be sure to turn your regains in early to ensure they are reviewed prior to AC!

-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

• New to the city is an Unforeseen Simulation Joint training facility as seen from the Boku no Hero/My Hero Academia canon! As seen here this facility is designed as a training area and is split into several locations. Currently in-game we have achieved the mountain zone.

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.

Players may also contribute points toward bringing back world patches representing their canons that other players may explore outside of the city! Please see the world changes page for more information.

Of note: players are allowed to help contribute to buying world changes not from their own canon. Players may donate up to 500 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

EVENT

On June 1st, it will appear as though nothing has actively changed. The buildings that have been painted back into existence are settled in their 3D forms and the wild colors Retrospec users have created by working together remain spread throughout the city. All of the effects of the previous month are in-tact including the paintbrushes provided by Retrospec. Did you paint that bush purple? Well, now it's stuck that way.

NPCs will continue to notice the strange things around them including powers, new physical features and the disarray of the city, but as usual the third day of the month is when everything goes a little weird...

On June 3rd, all PCs will awaken to find that every single NPC in town has disappeared. This includes player-characters who are on hiatus and utilizing our temp regain loss mechanic!

The layout of the town remains the same, but it's just you and your fellow Retrospec users. Your families, other friends, peers and colleagues are nowhere in sight...

...but you can hear them. When you least expect it, you will hear these people as though they're right next to you just beyond your reach. You can hear their normal conversations, activities they're doing and general every-day living. It's almost as though there's a barrier between them and you and no matter how hard you try they will not be able to see or hear you.

The other regions (Pesgare, Respatrum, Bosuma and Magatus) still exist, but the routes to them have evaporated. They have not moved, but should you try to head to one of these places you'll find yourself re-routed to Recollé.

A text appears on every single device from Zee, but it's short, sweet and to the point.

Level one. Ready to start generating and get this place back together?

A list of tasks will appear on everyone's device, sorted by district in the city of Recollé with a suggested number of participants required. This may feel familiar to several users, but the tasks won't be quite as...goofy.

As these tasks are accomplished, the city will begin to unlock itself and reveal more than a few surprises.

And finally, just because you can't see the other citizens of Recollé doesn't mean you'll be cut off from the whole world. For the curious, anyone who tries to call a number outside of the city will find that the calls go through! You'll be able to speak to your relatives and long-distance friends for the first time in months! However, the calls will only last for about 90 seconds, after which time a loud, distorted growl is heard through the line and the connection drops out.

Huh. Wonder what that's about.

While plotting for this month may be a bit difficult without knowing the tasks at hand, we can tell you that several of these tasks will be one on one and others will require larger groups! Several of them will be simple, sometimes kind deeds and others will involve a little more exploration and teamwork. Plenty will force characters to embrace things they're hiding about themselves or try something brand new. These will be designed to push characters out of their comfort zone and tap straight into their emotions as they impact the city around them.

RESTORATION QUESTS

Your friendly neighborhood NPC, Zee Carlisle, has been monitoring you and your progress, Retrospecters. Assessments have been finalized and files have been updated, but this NPC isn't going away. As a hiring manager, Zee will be interested in enlisting several characters for new adventures, quests, and volunteer assignments going forward in phase two.

As we roll into a new month, ten new quest slots are open. Players may not double up on these slots, and for now we do ask that players who take a quest must wait one month before requesting another slot (i.e. if you take a slot in March, your next available slot will be in May.) However, you are allowed to accompany other characters on quests if you so choose.

You may pick partners to quest with and we will discuss further details of arrangements and more at the time of request.

In addition, successful quests will net you additional bonus points! These will be based on difficulty of quest and effort put into the quest. As noted above, June's quests will not be available for any of the new regions.

Note: Due to the involvement of drafting quests, please note that quest requests may be on hold until the 4th of each month in order to prepare for the network mingle, the event log, and finalize AC. Thank you for understanding!

-Due to the next couple of plot months, we would like to announce that June's NPC quests will be city-bound only, and quests and NPC interaction will not be available in July! NPC interaction and quests will resume in August.

Please visit the assignment board for more information.

FREEBIE

-This month's freebie will require one thread from the mod-posted Restrospec post on the 1st featuring at least ten consecutive comments from you. As notated above, this freebie will not qualify past June.

-In addition, you may qualify for a memory freebie in June by threading out one district-objective with at least one person you haven't threaded with before. This thread will qualify when there are at least five consecutive comments from you.

-Finally, if you turn in six threads (one for each district) with your character performing an objective, you will qualify for a memory freebie! The threads must be at least 5 consecutive comments long and at least two of them should be with people you have not threaded with 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.

I can tell you right now unless it's some some dire situation where she barely has awareness of herself, just given his age, there is no way she'll feed on him. Both for the smell of him and because of just her morals.

That said, the sun thing or seeing something or whatever??? Yeah I'm here to provide for htat.
keystaff: (But watching you)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-06-01 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
It'd be understandable if he decidedly was not her first choice. I get that.

I mean I don't figure Elda will be as bad as him seeing some vampires literally being tortured by being tied to a cross and left out in the sun for days and literally burning as a result but. Probably enough to trigger him remembering something of it from canon at least, while he freaks out and tried to help her find shade.
matchbreaker: (NEW ICON REMAKE (why))

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-06-01 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
No, not that bad at all! Probably just comically lighting on fire... because she's at the point to do that.

Well, "comically" but she's from a goofy shojo manga so...
dejerate: (Switch up)

[personal profile] dejerate 2018-06-01 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Elda no there is nothing comic about lighting on fire from being outside in the sun?

But thanks? Now he will be paranoid of this concerning Mika later when he regains his vampirism. This is fine. Not really.
matchbreaker: (On to the new ones!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-06-01 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well there you go, you've got a life lesson for you!! ... But yeah that's something to happen early in the month-ish I'm like 90% sure she's already become a vampire in real time because it'll happen in a backdated thread so that's something to inbox probably just to set it in the nebulous past-time/nowish but

yes
dejerate: (This is an)

[personal profile] dejerate 2018-06-02 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, feel free to throw something at Yuu's inbox, or let me know and I can throw up a starter in Elda's, either way works for me, if you didn't want to do a full log for this.
matchbreaker: (I wanted to have a James icon)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-06-02 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'll decide in the next few days when I know for sure when and what is going down.
dejerate: (Moving along to)

[personal profile] dejerate 2018-06-02 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! No rush, just let me know or hit me up in Yuu's inbox and we can do the thing.
matchbreaker: (Finally!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-06-04 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay I know for sure she will have transformed in the nebulous like end of May beginning of June time, but because the conditions were there beforehand, Yuu's chance to see it would basically be having to be outside of her home / the hill it's on sometime in the morning. I'm willing to swing whatever to make that happen for you if you like though
dejerate: (We're a thousand)

[personal profile] dejerate 2018-06-07 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
So before the npcs go missing and all? I can swing that. Just let me know if you want to let me hit up her inbox or you can hit up his in threading something out.
matchbreaker: (The Vision)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-06-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, before then! But you know what why don't you hit mine that'll probably be easier. I just need him anywhere around the hill is all.

why did I text font this . . .
