Also starting today with January side quests, the quest reward has been up to 2 gacha pulls per side quest thread that's been turned in!
New Year, New Posts
As we enter Kaisou's third year, we will be updating some of the OOC paperwork posts! We do this on an annual basis to posts that garner a lot of comment traffic as dreamwidth posts tend to start having issues once it reaches a certain number of comments. Plus, some posts just need to be updated as they get cluttered with outdated information.
The following posts have ALREADY received a new post:
The following WILL receive a new post within the next week:
If you still need access to the old regain post or the old gacha goodwill to complete AC, links to the old posts can be found on the new posts. We will also drop them here for easy access: Old Regain Post, Old Gacha Goodwill post.
POKEGO Update
It's been a quiet month for POKEGO! There isn't much in the ways of update, but they will be asked to help with investigations of the upcoming event.
As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.
Black Order Update
If you've lost your mind or have committed a crime, recruitment for the Black Order is now available!
As for the mission for January, the Black Order is continuning to amp up it's interest in Kaisou. As such, the higher ups will be requesting information about each of the Warriors of Light and FFXIV characters that are within their game. Stuff like basic background, abilities, general temperament - the works. They are particularly interested in any connections they might have to the Crystal Tower.
City Events
January is a Water element month, and since it's the middle of winter- you can expect things to be extremely cold. Many days will be in the single digits if not below zero (Fahrenheit). As per annual tradition, the city will be holding a winter carnival that includes ice fishing, games at the Gold Saucer, and even an ice palace with an ice inn should you wish to sleep in the cold.
Spirit Realm Event: Crystal Tower
January's Spirit Realm Event will be based on Final Fantasy! The Crystal Tower from FFXIV will be showing up in the middle of Central Square. It'll be up to Libra app users to clear out the tower of any dangers as well as unlock any puzzles within. This plot will contain many elements from the Final Fantasy franchise ranging from sphere puzzles, triad card tournaments, and doing an opera performance.
Notably, the Crystal Tower will remain in Kaisou after the plot is over, and is open to be used as a potential place to convert into PC housing or to study the tower to help with solutions for the "falling into the spirit realm" problem, though both things will take longer than just January to prepare.
Final Note
Finally, Yuff here with a quick note. This plot marks the third anniversary of Kaisou! Three years ago, I started Kaisou as a place to RP with friends, but I wasn't sure how long it'd last. Thanks to every player in this game, former and current, it's reached it's third year and is still going strong. So I want to thank every single one of you guys. It's been an absolute joy rping with everyone, and modding the game (and an extra thank you to the mod team for helping). I really look forward to seeing what 2024 has in store!

effy's blonde bombshell brigade
Contact:
Time zone: UTC+8
Character Name: Edward Kenway
Canon: Assassin's Creed
Type: OU
About: Welsh pirate runs into British Assassin in 1715 and just straight kills him and takes his robes and his identity and the mysterious shit he's carrying with him. ends up walking right into the series' big myth arc by complete accident. years later, Edward's now very slowly beginning to change his course, carrying around a shitload of grief from watching all his friends die.
Event Plans: plans what plans. Edward's entire plan this January is to just chill and get his ship repaired and also see if there are any sculptors around town since he still owes Zulius a statue. he might check out the Crystal Tower himself, out of curiosity.
Character Name: Leon S. Kennedy
Canon: Resident Evil
Type: Black Order AU
About: rookie cop walks into a zombie apocalypse on the first day of his job! it traumatizes him for the rest of his life and also means he gets signed up not quite willingly for a government job for much of his adulthood. at least he saved the president's daughter tho?
in this AU, Leon is now a private eye with experience in having faced off against demons who besieged his precinct when he was a rookie on the first week of the job. he's still deeply traumatized and he's still not quite willingly signed up for the Black Order job. he's aware of the parallels. thanks.
Event Plans: Leon is def going to do the bare minimum and just, like. ask the WOLs if they wanna join the Black Order. no? cool ok. he will be putting in just the barest minimum into the mission this month and then significantly more into like, checking out the new tower in the middle of town, like wtf.
Character Name: Lucy Westenra
Canon: Dracula
Type: Paranormal AU
About: the sweet ingenue who dies bc some creeplord vampire keeps sneaking into her room to take bites out of her neck, and then she turns into a vampire herself and has to be staked before she can turn somebody else. she is also well-known for being so hot three people fell in love with her.
AU Lucy is still a sweet ingenue to some degree, working as a late-night radio show host! she just is fully aware of her past self's fate and does not want to meet it as well, and in her desperation to avoid it accidentally let herself be possessed by a demon. whoops.
Event Plans: she's moving into her new/old house in Brick Alley! so that will be taking up basically all her time for this month. she's chilling, you guys.
Anything else?
