December 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 December 1st, with a midmonth post going up December 15th. The game wide event log will go up December 4th, and there'll be a formal dance log posted on December 10th, as well the the AU workshop on the same day.
• If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month.
• Regains are now being once a day during mod office hours (2pm EST to 4pm EST). Please plan accordingly!
• If you haven't obtained your free gacha from the November Event, you have until the end of November to do so!
• 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

• Doom and Robot Unicorn Attack are now available to play through the Libra App.
• A cabbage cart can be found in Kaisou. Prone to destruction.
• La Grand Bistrot, a french restaurant run by rats, is available on Shopping Street.
• There is another Goose.
• Turtleducks can now be found in Kaisou.
• Combat Shells can be used for practicing fighting now.
• The Birthday Skeleton is now here to give gifts on your character's birthday.
• The amusement park Phoenix Wonderland is now open!

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 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!

About: i have a painstakingly detailed infopost available, tl;dr he's a massive tsundere who is nicer than he thinks he is, but emotionally prickly at best

Event Plans: OHHHH MAN. i have been dying for an age-goofing event and candy canes sound like a blast. proooobably won't do a full memory reversion actually i might if anyone's interested because i love being sad but i'm very excited to mess around with 'waver, but five foot three'. aside from that he'll be present at yoosung's party (as his normal self) and i'm super down to mess around with mistletoe/mistlefoe, we'll see how it shakes out.

as for the gate event, fuck it, let's save christmas, i'm in

Anything else? no really i'm serious he's Short

Canon: My Hero Academia
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Prickly but good-hearted college brat who is possessed by a kitsune and can blow things up. In the process of starting up a fight club/fight training thing with Nox in his free time.
Event Plans: He's going to the ball for sure. And there's no way I'm missing a Nightmare Before Christmas themed realm so Hell Yes. Also someone should definitely rope him into a snowball fight. Just saying.
Anything else? I liiiiiiive.

[poisontippedcure]

Yooooo I'm not sure just where or what yet but I'd love these two to get more CR!

[fionnuisce]

Character Name: Rose
Canon: FFXIV
Type: OU
About: She's an angry healer person. She's starting to realize that maybe she needs people around her and maybe her personality hasn't been very receptive to that, so she's opening up slowly. Expect lots of tsun with the dere.
Event Plans: Rose will be around town this Starlight Christmas! She's feeling somewhat homesick, so she'll be recreating her old home the only way she knows how: By helping the elves with pointless tasks until all of their quest markers are gone!
Additionally, I'm open to mistletoe or mistlefoe shenanigans! She'll also be going to the ball. She's not the most social, but can be convinced to dance on occasion and will most certainly be down to talking to other wallflowers.
Anything else? I was kind of slow last month but I'm getting back on board this month!

[hoshikiri]

these two agreed to not speak of labyrinth bullshit again im sure

ok but idk yet if I'm going to smolify Takame but either way if I do or don't I really want him to see shrunk waver so fucking badly

[fionnuisce]

YOU MAY HAVE THE SMALL ANGRY LAD

Character Name: Takame Kesi
Canon: FFXIV OC
Type: OC
About: Very stoic but very polite and sweet 6'7 dragon man with a social backbone as strong as a limp noodle but arms and a Gunblade strong enough to break multiple bones at once. Lowkey extremely violent, highkey just wants to make friends and find something he's good at that's not fighting.
Event Plans: I'm on the fence about aging him down but if I do so and I decide he'll have a memory reversion then a warning: He will be extremely hostile and likely to attack on sight. He'll also have brown hair, the horror. Tragic Backstory things.

In terms of the ball he'll 100% be going to it possibly in a mermaid dress and god knows this man is allergic to saying no to anyone who asks him to do something so he will be very much helping the elves to save Christmas. Also please mistlewhoa him in any way, affectionate or fighting please I love this shit.

the other thing I gotta do is find this boy a job he might ask about it on the network at some point. that and finding a person who does hair but doesn't cut it.
Anything else? I had to drop last month's event stuff due to family emergencies happening but if you want to continue CR with Takame please let me know!!

Character Name: Tsunayoshi Sawada
Canon: Katekyou Hitman Reborn
Type: Normal AU
About: Just your totally normal average high school kid. 100% normal absolutely. Totally doesn't have ties to the mafia or weird dreams about weather or has magic berserker powers or anything. He is totally normal and also he skips school a lot.

But maybe he's starting to realize that people maybe care about him?

Event Plans: Tsuna may or may not go to the ball, he'd probably need to be dragged there. But also open to any mistletoe situations, since that could be cute and/or violent.

He's regained his Hyper Dying Will Mode which means he has a little more control over his powers and will be learning how to use those more effectively.

Maybe he'll fall into Christmas Town to though. Because he needs a little chaos. Please save him from gift wrap.

Anything else? November turned into a Month when I wasn't looking and so I'll probably be taking things easy for December.

Character Name: Elliot Craig
Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
Type: Normal AU, but been on this crazy ride awhile so what is normal.
About: Elliot is a high school music teacher at Kaisou High! He's a kind but tough teacher who cares a lot for his students, but also deals with constant anxiety. He's got a cat curse where he turns into one when he's stressed that he has to regulate, though it'll probably get worse in the coming months.
Event Plans: Elliot is gonna be having a rough month thanks to the departure of some close CR. He might go to the ball, and will try to help out with the school musical, but will try to stick to himself some.

That said I'm completely down for holiday or mistletoe hijinks! Especially hugs because man he don't like hugs and torment is funny.
Anything else? Nada!

Character Name: Jun Nightroad (canon name is Kohinata)
Canon: Tokyo Xanadu
Type: Paranormal AU
About: An art student at Kaisou university. He has a dark past involving a very shady underground group and is full of secrets. He also is a holy knight with powers from God. Yeah, that one. He also tends to be quiet about that because he doesn't want to sound crazy. But sometimes you can find him hanging around while wearing a white hooded uniform. Also he's really into anime.
Event Plans: Jun's birthday is Christmas Eve, so it's his big birthday month! He won't have a party because he hates being the center of attention, but he'll let people know that he's OLDER NOW. Other than that he'll be attending the dance and getting into holiday stuff! He is completely down for both mistletoe and mistlefoe- LET HIM FIGHT.
Anything else? Please expect him to wear ridiculous sized scarfs from now until the end of winter, as seen in the icon.

Canon: Good Omens
Type: Paranormal AU
About: A Nanny who due to his budding demonic powers has decided on career swapping into the private eye life. He thinks he is tough, cool, and so very evil but he is actually a pretty nice guy most of the time.
Event Plans: I don't have any solid plans this month other than I would like to have him take on a few cases and I need to actually do the business setup stuff. If you would like to do some side quests or if your character has something they need a nanny/PI for hit me up.
I might do something with the mistletoe/foe. As that sounds chaotic and fun.
Anything else? It's December plotting already!? AHHHH!!!!!

Character Name: Varian
Canon: Tangled
Type: OU
About: A reformed former teenage villain. Alchemist, loves science and is not a big fan of magic but learning to live with it. He has a monkey tail from a gacha roll and is connected to the earth element. December will see him start to get some werewolf changes!
Event Plans:
Varian can be convinced to go to the party. He isn't really into social events, but his friends can drag him along, no doubt. I am happy for him to be stuck under mistletoe OR mistlefoe- though lip kisses are reserved for Fern only, sorry folks. I won't be having him turn any younger (trust me, you do NOT want that) but I'm happy for him to deal with anyone younger suddenly thrust at him. Sucks to be a big brother sometimes, obviously. He'll be helping out the elves in Christmas town probably making some totally safe and not dangerous at all toys for the kids. He's a techie in the school play and has absolutely introduced fire to the production.
Anything else? If your character wants to commission him to make something, just let me know and he'll do the thing!

[eternalfuture]

So Usagi got Fern as Secret Santa. Can she ask Varian to make him a cool sword? She can handle the rest of it.

[droptheious]

Oh man, he'd love to! She can watch him VIBRATE EXCITEDLY about the entire thing. Luckily he's pretty good at working stealthily, so he'll make sure Fern never catches on!

[eternalfuture]

Excellent!! She'll hit him up ICly at some point.

[callmekacchan]

Meet him under the misselFOE. >:/ And then have a snowball fight with him.

[callmekacchan]

Pssst. Katsuki and Anthony should do the Let It Sn-Oh No quest together.

[callmekacchan]

Time to meet under the misselFOE for a rematch, Jun.

Danny Fenton

[schrodingersghost]

Oh look, a perfect excuse for this icon.

Player Name: Lel
Contact: leloipa
Time zone: EST

Character Name: Danny Fenton
Canon: Danny Phantom
Type: Normal AU
About: Previously a Normal High School student, now half-ghost. Has spent most of his career in Kaisou midway through some kind of existential crisis, but is now finally starting to get his half-life figured out. Is probably headed straight for a superhero career, but is (badly) attempting to avoid that.

Event Plans:
SO, Danny's seventeenth birthday is December 20. To celebrate that (and try to get some distance from the holiday) he'll be inviting all his friends over for a bad movie and video game party the first week of December. Basically if you're a teenager and on friendly terms with Danny, you're invited.

For the winter musical at school Danny has volunteered for props and tech crew, so he'll be hanging out there. And also carrying around a fire extinguisher. Because he talked to Varian about the special effect plans and he has Concerns.

On December 20 Danny will get to meet the birthday skeleton. Currently the plan is to get him his first item regain for that. The Fenton Thermos. Danny will be very confused.

Chances are good that Danny will get a memory regain of his canon Christmas Episode this month... and will promptly attempt to avoid all Christmas areas after that. He will definitely attempt to avoid the ball. Friends are welcome to drag him along anyway.

Danny is available for side quests.

Anything else?
Danny will likely still be dealing with some of the fallout from the last few months. He's still very stressed about friends safety, and very prickly about certain topics involving morality and inevitability, but is bottling this up. This ended in him passing out during the fight in last month's event. He has learned nothing.

Character Name: Harleen Quinzel
Canon: DCEU
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Possessed researcher who just moved to Kaisou following magical leads. Definitely needs to know more people besides her frigging ex.
Event Plans: Harleen will be attending the charity ball, and if anyone wants a platonic plus one she is open to that.

I'll be tossing her into both mistletoe and mistlefoe, as well as let her check out Christmas Town! So let me know if you want your characters to run into her for any of those!

Time allowing, I might let her eat an enchanted candy cane, because I already have a teen AU Harley journal and it seems a waste not to use it.

She is also available for side quests.

Anything else? She'll be reaching out to others who might have research materials, and maybe starting some kind of book club for people equally down the rabbit hole.
