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

Holiday Points, New Powers, and New Feature: Monster Change!
Since it's the holidays, anyone who checks in to AC for November will receive double regain points (so 8 if you check in normally, and 4 if you hiatused) to spend in December! Additionally, anyone who apps will receive an extra 4 points upon approval.

Stumped on what to spend it on? Well fret not! The Elemental Power Page has been updated to add a bunch of new powers for the different elements. Check them out!

We are also excited to introduce a new option for players: Monster Changes! The exposure to the Spirit Realm has been already been causing powers to manifest this past year, but now for some it's starting to change them even further. Embrace your monster loving dreams and have your characters change into one of the many options. Characters are allowed to purchase 2 monster change features per month unless the character is either possessed of cursed, and then they can purchase 3. Read about it more on the elemental regain page!

Town Events
The entire town seems to have recovered from the sunless incident and things have become more peaceful! Normal NPCs will once again no longer notice supernatural oddities, and snow begins to fall at the beginning of December - winter is here baby.

Kaisou has gone into full holiday spirit mode. Basically like any town in the United States, holiday decorations are everywhere and you can't escape. However unlike every other town, some of the decorations are a little more enchanted. We got:

• Magic Mistletoe: Should a pair find themselves both underneath the mistletoe, they will feel a compulsion to display some kind of physical affection towards each other. It can be a classic kiss or a hug or headpat - play it out however you wish!


• Mistlefoe: It's like the mistletoe, except when you go under it you feel the compulsion to fight either verbally or physically with whoever is also underneath it.


• Enchanted Candy Canes: If an adult or teenager consumes one of these candy canes, they will become a kid. It's up to you if they have the mind and memories of a kid or not! The effect is temporary, lasting 1-3 days per candy cane consumed.


In addition, there will be a formal charity ball being run by Yoosung's family! All members of the Libra app will be invited, so dressed to the nines and dance the night away! There will be a separate event log posted for this written by Soap. Thank you for the event Soap!

IC Secret Santa
Sign-ups for IC Secret Santa are now closed! Assignments for secret santa are coming out as we speak. Please do your best to make sure your secret santa receiver gets their gift! You can thread something out or just comment to their inbox about what they received (or send them a message if they don't have an inbox).

ICly Secret Santa assignments will be going out December 1st along with the Zodiac post, so look forward to that!

Gate Event: Christmas Town
This month's gate will be Christmas Town from Nightmare Before Christmas. Go explore the great north pole and world responsible for bringing the holiday spirit every December! While it's a completely safe realm, any skeletons will need to be chaperoned while in certain parts of Christmas Town thanks to an incident some years past.

While in Christmas Town, you will be requested to help the elves out with the tasks needed to be done before Christmas! Should you do so, you'll be rewarded with a customized gift to give to someone else (as this is the season of giving). If you're interested, comment down below about the gift you're giving! Edit: To clarify, characters can only make one customized gift to give to another.

Overall this month is meant to be a fun and laidback month since we know December is a busy time of year for folks. So please relax and enjoy what you can. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Player Name: Meowkitty
Contact: MKSakura
Time zone: EST

Character Name: Souta Suzukaze
Canon: Otogi Juushi Akazukin (Fairy Musketeer)
Type: Normal AU
About: One of many polite freshmen this year, Souta is a very gentle soul. He loves fantasy and magic, which may be reinforced by his many memories of magical girls. Souta has learned to communicate with plants and spends a great deal of time outside of school gardening. Last month was exasauting for him, since he kept cycling grow lights to different plants in a desperate bid to keep as many alive. He may have overslept more than once. The boy has a mysterious magic artifact inside him called Elde's Key. One day he might notice it.
Event Plans: Souta probably won't be at the ball unless someone brings him. However, he will be doing Secret Santa and definitely visiting Christmas town. I'm open for the magic mistletoe. He's also 14, so while smooches aren't off the table, I'd say keep it chaste? Romance goes right over the poor boy's head. Please no fighty him, he is smol and easily scared... and also scary powerful if he gets proper upset.
Anything else? Permission post for his powers including plants and Elde's Key.

Character Name: Eve
Canon: Black Cat
Type: OU
About: The youngest member of a group of sweepers (professional bounty hunters). Her transforming powers make her a surprisingly formidable foe, despite her relative lack of experience. She spent her early childhood as the prototype bio-weapon for a black market weapon's dealer, so easing into normal life has been... interesting. Very curious about the world around her, Eve spends most of her time reading or people watching.
Event Plans: Eve wants to go to the ball! The last fancy event she snuck into ended in a dinosaur battle and no feast for her. She wants to see the feast at last! I'm open to mistletoe and mistlefoe (keep the mistletoe child-friendly tho, she has smacked people with a hammer for less). The Secret Santa will baffle her, but less so after the Christmas Town. Kid's first Christmas, so feel free to tell her all about it.
Anything else? Permission post for recognizing killers. If your character has killed a lot of people, she might notice they are like her. Also hoping to do some Sidequests.

Cale got Souta in the Secret Santa! Down to plot a little CR if you're up for it?

[playtag]

Sure thing!

Eve got Luffy for Secret Santa, so there'll be two gifts to plan out.

[couldntsaveone]

Idk which thread will be less awkward lmao

Eve trying to get her new "rival" a present or Cale lowkey stalking Souta to figure out what he likes because what is being normal?

[playtag]

There is a non-zero chance that Luffy ends up with salted, cured meat.

Hopefully not the salted fish that she bought for Train, it's been five months. (Even if the internet says it should still be good, that's a yikes.)

Souta is very easy to please, as far as gifts go. The stalking, on the other hand... He's going to be very confused.

[couldntsaveone]

Luffy will love the meat and don't worry, even if it is the 5 month old fish, he's probably the only person she could give it to who wouldn't get food poisoning from that lmao

Even if it's predictable, Souta will probably get a potted plant. But yes, awkward and confusing stalking will happen. Who is this random guy he keeps running into at the high school?

[playtag]

He's the only one she would think of giving it to, since he's very similar to Train in her mind. Like the honor (?) of being her chosen rival.

The plant will be appreciated! Whether or not Souta realizes that it's more than coincidence that he keeps running into the same guy, that will remain to be seen.
