April Plotting & CR Post
April Plotting & CR Post
Hello everyone! It's time for the announcement and plotting post for April!
OOC Housekeeping
- The Zodiac Network Post will go up April 1st, with a midmonth post going up April 15th. The game wide event log & it's counterparts will go up April 4th. There will also be an optional network post on April 3rd where a character gives a heads up about stuff going down.
- If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month. For those who participated in the Gacha Goodwill this weekend, please make sure to include your purchases/donations on the AC form if they cost/gave you points!
- 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
- There is a third goose in Blue Lake Fish Park. It is just as terrible as the others.
Side quests
New Side Quests have been added for the month of April! Go ahead and sign up! If you haven't turned in quests for March gacha points, you can still do so until the end of the month! However, signing up for any March quests is now closed.
New Feature: Gacha Goodwill
Last weekend, the mods opened up the Gacha Goodwill. The Gacha Goodwill is full of previously owned gacha/regain items that players have the option of buying from. Alternatively if you want to lighten your regain loads for more points, you can donate items to the Gacha goodwill and get an additional Regain point for every two things you donate.
The Gacha Goodwill will be open every Sunday and will regularly refresh it's stock, so keep your eyes peeled for great steals! You can read more about it on its post.
Town Events
Spring has fully sprung in Kaisou! Characters will get to enjoy lovely spring weather with the occasional spring shower. Best take the chance to enjoy the warm weather now that winter is over! Meanwhile the schools will be busy with all the typical springtime stuff that happens around this time. Prom and other end-of-year activities will be taking place next month in May, so look out for that!
Otherwise the town itself will be pretty quiet this month due to the main event being pretty heavy, with the only thing worth of note that Undertown will be cleared out temporarily due to increase security from Zodiac. If you need access to any Undertown businesses, they will be holed up in the Void Denny's until things settle down.
Plot Recap
April's main event will be the conclusion of a plot that's going on in the backburner (and the front burner) since December-January. So before we get into that, let me give a quick plot recap so everyone is on the same page.
LAST TIME ON
In December, people started experiencing monster changes Unbeknownst to everyone, the board of Zodiac were also affected and became demons.
In January, characters were asked to help with the Chinese Zodiac Race. One of the reward options was a peach that granted immortality (with string attached).
Zodiac offered $40k for a peach. Moxxie, desparate for cash, took them up on it. Eventually this came to ligth and many people were Mad at Moxxie.
Varian tried to do science on his peach. It blew up his apartment. Zodiac offered to rebuild his apartment in exchange for helping them research the peach Moxxie gave.
The Black Order, a shadowy organization in their own right but not capitalists, showed up on the app in January.
Over the course of a few months, Zodiac began to act more extreme and out of character. Demons man.
Varian in March revealed that the board of Zodiac were demons and they were planning to use the peach to obtain immortality. They also attempted to grow more peaches, but Varian sabotaged this.
Wanting to stop Zodiac before everyone got saddled with immortal demon capitalists, the Black Order requested a special device that'd help them infiltrate Zodiac. However the device requires four volunteers to be used for unknown reasons. Many people volunteered, and the four selected were Jusis Albarea, Waver Velvet, Takame, and "Shroud" (Jun Nightroad).
Zhongli, a member of the Black Order, showed up to check to make sure the request was legitimate. Zhongli approved the use the device and told the volunteers it'd be dangerous and to prepare for when they turn it on in April.
He then blew 16k of the Black Order's money on a cello. This isn't plot relevant it's just funny.
Gate Event: MetaVerse
As many of you already knew, this month's event will be based on Persona 4 & 5! Because we're running two canons at the same time, there will be two components.
The first part will be what happened to the volunteers. As it turns out, instead of being sent on a super cool mission, the four volunteers will actually be sucked into the persona shadow realm and be trapped in their own Persona 4-style dungeons where they are confronted with truly the worse thing imaginable: their own inner thoughts. And if that wasn't bad enough, something went awry during the activation of the device and instead of Jun being sent in -- Danny Fenton will be sent to face it instead.
This means that Jusis, Waver, Takame, and Danny will each get their own personal logs devoted to their own particular dungeons. Characters will have option of going into their dungeons and facing the challenges in hopes of recovering their fellow friend/colleague/dude I just met before they get killed by their own inner shadows. There's no limit to how many dungeons your characters can visit, though do keep in mind some of them will be coming with their own share of trigger warnings.
MEANWHILE the main event log will be focusing on a Persona 5-style Palace for our beloved company Zodiac. Characters will be expected to don their own phantom thieves outfits (yes, you get to dress up your character), make up a code name, and infilitrate an exagerrated version of the company. The main objective of this palace will be to snatch the immortal peach before the Zodiac boards can use it to gain immortality - though they can also do other stuff to stick it to the rich. Characters will be expected to sneak around, fight some monsters, and maybe do a bit of crime in order to save the day.
Due to Zodiac's lack of trust in the Black Order (and to keep TBO characters from taking all the glory), Black Order Characters will not be allowed to infilitrate the Zodiac palace until after the peach is removed. Basically, it's up to the normal app users (and the 2 pokego characters we have) to save the day!
As you can tell, there's a lot going on in this plot. But don't worry! Just take your time, do what you can, and steal some hearts along the way.
