November Plotting & CR Post

Hello everyone! It's time for the announcement and plotting post for November!

OOC Housekeeping

• The Zodiac Network Post will go up November 1st, with a midmonth post going up November 15th. The game wide event log will go up November 4th.
• If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month.
• Just a reminder for anyone who hasn't joined yet, but we have a game discord for current players! It's completely optional to join, but come in and say hi!

World Changes

• The Last Stand, a food cafe in University district that serves actually good Sharlayan food.

More details about these changes can be found on the World Changes page.

Side quests
New Side Quests have been added for the month of November! Go ahead and sign up! If you haven't turned in quests for October gacha points, you can still do so until the end of the month! However, signing up for any October quests is now closed.

Town Events
As mentioned before, by the end of the October, the sun will no longer rise within Kaisou. This will continue through the first half of November through the conclusion of the November event, where the sun will very slowly begin to show up again throughout the second half of the month. This also applies to the stable realms (aka Kanto and Stardew Valley). Best invest in sunlamps before they sell out!

NPCs are going to continue noticing strange things, and there is a growing sense of panic due to you know, the sun being gone. This effect will also slowly go away once the November plot concludes.

The monster-filled tears from October will also continue. But not only those kinds of tears, as OU Labyrinths that OU characters first arrived in can also reappear and be available for other people to see. These labyrinths can be exactly how they appeared in the app, OR they can be modified to reflect any growth/changes the character has had since they arrived in Kaisou to their overall mindset. How they are modified are completely up to players!

Finally during the first half of November, AU characters will witness signs of the dead coming to visit them, either from people who have passed in this lifetime, or people who passed in their previous life. These visits can either be positive or negative, depending on the nature of the relationship.

Free Gacha + Another Treat
During the month of November, every character will get 3 free gacha pulls! New items have been added to the gacha pool, so check it out. In addition to the gacha pull, every character will receive a random Yu-Gi-Oh card that they'll be able to use in November's event realm only. Characters will gain either summonable companion or a special ability based on the card given to them.

If you wish to redeem your gacha and Yu-Gi-Oh card, comment down below to the gacha comment with your character! Players can deem free gacha pulls until November 30th!

Gate Event: Duat
For this month's event, characters will be traveling to Duat, the Ancient Egyptian Underworld! Characters will be traveling through Duat in hopes of solving a dilemma that has caused the sun to go away. While there, characters will also be encountering Yu-Gi-Oh cards, snakes, makeovers, snakes, cats, snakes, being Judged, and snakes. In other words, this is your warning that this plot will contain snakes.

It should also be noted that any character that gets any powers directly from the God featured in the Abrahamic faiths (aka Christianity, Judaism and Islam) or any of His servants (angels, etc) will be unable to use those abilities while in this particular realm. This does not apply to any fallen angels, demons, or characters with Kaisou-original Light Elemental powers (though light powers will be weakened overall due it being a shadow month). Characters who go into the realm with open signs of worship of Him will be allowed in but might get a fair amount of stink-eye. Apparently you can't drop ten plagues on folks without them getting salty over it. Lame.

Yesssss omg lol cut from the same cloth

Did you have anything in mind? I’m down for whatever!!

[couldntsaveone]

I mean, the holidays are coming up. Idk how much Alberto knows about them but Luffy knows NOTHING. He thought Halloween was strange and awesome, now he'll be learning about other new holidays. They could maybe learn about them together? Or Alberto could show off his amazing knowledge and teach Luffy something? Either way, potential for light and harmless fun.

Also, they could totally do Pagemaster for a side quest but only if you're ready for MASSIVE FAILURE lol. I can't imagine either of them know much about filing books.

[prontissimo]

Lmao Alberto knows NOTHING. He’s learning as they come round. But Luffy could run into Alberto doing a social studies homework assignment about thanksgiving maybe? Otherwise Alberto’s not at all bookish lol so probs will just have to learn all the holidays when they happen.

I’d be down for Pagemaster too tho! lol I also hope they fail. We’ll have to see if the dice agrees with us haha

[couldntsaveone]

Could be fun for them to meet while he's doing his homework, Alberto possibly gets fed up because books, and Luffy encourages shenanigans like, "Let's go find out in person!" Even though that's not how holidays work and please don't encourage truancy Luffy. And in case your wondering, yes, absolutely, Luffy would break in wander into school just trying to check things out because adventure~

Beautiful! Lmk if you wanna say anything for Alberto's otherwise I will set up shenanigans for the side quest tomorrow!

[prontissimo]

lmaooo Luffy no... just wanders onto a middle school campus...

maybe he can accidentally bust Alberto out of detention or something, and Alberto's just like. welp. I was already IN detention... what's another.

we could even segue INTO the bookshop side quest, two birds with one stone? in pursuit of ~*~Knowledge~*~? (and money. cuz Alberto def keeps track of money-making opportunities lol. so this quest will be on his radar.)

[couldntsaveone]

This, we should definitely do all of this lmaoooo!! Segue into the quest, perfect!

Luffy will be such an influence on Alberto. Both terrible and great. Instigator but also, "oh shit don't be this guy, he's crazy!"

[prontissimo]

posted to the side quest page for us! we shall await the decision...

YES tho that's the best way to describe Luffy's influence, it will be very confusing admiring Luffy lmao

[couldntsaveone]

Lmaoooo I will wait with baited breath! Just noticed as I was writing that and an unintentional fishy pun seems perfect for these two, lol

Luffy is such chaos incarnation but he's also such a positive sunshine child that it's kind of hard to hate him for it. He's not intentionally chaotic and he can be a good influence and mentor. He'll definitely try to steer Alberto into pursuing his goals, he'll just, also, you know. Encourage bad behavior occasionally too, not realizing it's wrong or not caring about potential consequences. But he's friendly and a listening ear and very uplifting. And chaos. I can't make this sound better sorry I tried 😂🤣

[prontissimo]

lmao
nah you could say all the same things about Alberto. He'll push you out of your comfort zone toward your dreams, buuut also coerce you to jump off a cliff in the process. This is why they get along haha.

Has Luffy met Luca yet?

[couldntsaveone]

They messaged briefly on the app but he mostly only recognizes him as "that guy who agreed to go to my party!" Lol

Luca actually met and interacted with my other muse Cale more. Too bad they can't all meet, cause Cale knows a ton about the holidays and will gladly impart this wisdom while pretending apathy.

Still, it'll be fun, these two trying to figure out what a turkey in a funny hat has to do with a fat man in a red suit. Luffy will totally dig the Santa beards everywhere and want one, lol. And then want to put a Santa hat on top of his straw hat. Luffy, the master of hat-ception.

[prontissimo]

I might wanna save Christmas-related stuff for December if it's all the same to you! But we can totally revisit the holiday exploration theme then. Fat turkeys in hats is plenty to work with for November ahaha

We've got an equally festive trick-or-treating post up right now if you'd like in on that in the meantime! Luca will be tagging into many threads too, so they can all meet in person finally haha

[couldntsaveone]

Haha makes sense! No worries, turkeys in hats and turkey hats will still be confusing and wild to both of them! There's plenty of weird stuff to find that's Thanksgiving related (just look on Amazon, lol).

Oh yay! I'll definitely come hit that! Luffy probably won't dress up, cause he doesn't really understand the concept of costumes for this yet, but he'll definitely think this is all cool and amazing!

[prontissimo]

RESULTS ARE IN

Fortune smiled on us. They failed. :) spectacularly.

Ready to thread this out when you are haha!

[couldntsaveone]

Lmao, sure, anytime! Do you mind setting up? I just set up a different post and don't want to set up too many posts!

[prontissimo]

lmao I just set up two other posts myself... should we just do it in one of our inboxes if we're both embarrassed to overload the comm lol?

[couldntsaveone]

Lmaoooo that works, yours or mine?

[prontissimo]

You mind starting it off? Whosever inbox works.

Are we going with the "Luffy wanders onto a middle school campus and inadvertently busts Alberto out of detention" start lol?

[couldntsaveone]

Done and yes
