July Plotting & CR Post!
July Plotting & CR Post
Hello everyone! It's time for the announcement and plotting post for July!
OOC Housekeeping
- The Zodiac Network Post will go up July 1st, with a midmonth post going up July 15th. The first half of the event log will be posted July 4th, with the second half going up July 8th.
- If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month!
- Interested in playing an NPC affiliated with the Black Order? We're still taking volunteers for August! The deadline is July 20th.
- The July AU & CR Workshop is up! On there is information about the upcoming Zodiac Employee and Ronin AU options.
- 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
- Applin are now amongst Kaisou's apple trees
- The Yellow Brick Sidewalk will now help you get you where you need to go.
- Grudgby is now played in Kaisou!
- Trash Alicorns are now eating your garbage
- And a plethora of sea creatures from Fontaine now swim in the Kaisou Harbor.
Side quests
Just a note that we will NOT be having new Side Quests for July! This is because after a couple years, we've decided it's time to do a re-haul of the side quest system and require time to do that. Unless something goes horribly wrong, you can expect side quests to make a return in August.
As for June side quests, you can sign up for side quests from June until July 1st. After that you're still allowed to turn in the completed quests at anytime, you just won't be able to pick up more.
POKEGO Update
POKEGO had a productive month! Two apprentices (Eunie and Zhongli) graduated into full members. And thanks to Waver's performance in the Vogue's drag competition, POKEGO now has an additional $5000 to spend on whatever projects they wish. Nice work guys!
Finally thanks to Gilgamesh's funding, POKEGO members are now paid a livable wage. Keep sending weird looking dogs to the billionaire okay?
This month, POKEGO will be having a calmer month. They will be holding a booth at the anime convention in which they will show Pokemon of their choosing to visitors. Otherwise they will be basking in the joy that's not being the other factions this month.
As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.
Black Order Update
So bad news, you guys won't be getting paid this month again.
And badder news, the Black Order will be making active attempts to kill you. On July 4th, any Black Order member with an address known to the Order will be raided by humanoid mechs with guns and weapons. These mechs will be programmed to attack any of the Kaisou Black Order team, though can be persuaded to attack non-black order characters should they prove to be enough of a nuisance.
In addition, if you wish, during the raid they may also get house visits from our three Zealots: Shay Cormac (played by Effy), Berserker Cu (played by Kyah), and Homura Akemi (played by Saffy). None of these NPCs may be killed BEFORE the second half of the event log is put up, but feel free to contact these players if you want run-ins with them either during the raids, or some other point before the end of the plot.
Introducing: Zodiac!
This month, a selection of Zodiac employees will be joining the app! After the Black Order's raid, Zodiac will be incensed enough to take a more active role in this conflict. As such, the first batch of Zodiac AU characters will be tasked with helping the other App user characters put a stop to the Black Order's actions by acting as support.
These brave employees will be given devices that will activate barriers and also has the ability to neutralize magical powers for a couple minutes. Use these well so you don't die.
Afterwards, either Zodiac employees will begin remembering their past lives OR Zodiac will finally take them seriously about anyone whose already been remembering. These Zodiac employees will be allowed to join the Libra app and be tasked with continued assistance of the other app users.
City Events
Since July is the summer water element month, expect everything to be humid. Rain and severe storms will happen throughout the month, while even dry days will feel like you're walking through soup. Do your best to keep cool!
And with July comes the annual Kaisou Anime Convention! During the weekends through the month, Kaicon will be running out of the Civic Center. Get your best cosplay on and have a nerdy good time. Just so no one has to miss it due to [checks notes] getting shot at, the convention will be going on throughout the month.
Special Event: Fortress of Meropide
This month's event will be based on the Genshin Impact, specifically the Fontaine arc! After the Black Order characters are attacked, player characters will discover that the Zealots's are launching from their attack from the Fortress of Meropide which they spent the month of June magically moving into Kaisou Harbor from Denmark.
They will learn that the Fortress of Meropide has been in the possession of the Order for a long time, but the only people who have been aware of its existence are the Unyielding who lead the Order, their handpicked Zealots, and the prisoners that have been locked inside. For centuries, it's been used as a holding facility for anyone the Order felt best to lock away.
It'll be up to player characters to get into the Fortress, deal with the Zealots, and bring the fortress under their control. After the plot, the Fortress of Meropide will remain in Kaisou, where ownership will be given back to Wriothesley. This plot is considered a lead in for the August plot, which will be about taking down the current leadership of the Order.
Due to the sheer amount of stuff going on, the event log will be broken down into two updates:
July 4th (aka July 3rd at 6pm EST): First half! This will contain town events, Kaicon, the July 4th raid against TBO, Zodiac AUs introduction, and the journey to reach the fortress. There will be a ship-based battled against Shay Cormac as well.
July 8th (aka July 7th at 6pm EST): Storming the Fortress, Ronin AU introductions, battling Homura and Cu, and the conclusion of the event.
If you wish to play either a Zodiac Employee that's involved with helping in this event log or a Ronin AU that has been held prisoner at the Fortress of Meropide, please let the mod team know ASAP and have your character app submitted by June 30th @ 11:59pm EST. We will be holding a special app round July 1st in order to approve the apps of characters being introduced in this plot. Any new character apps that are NOT part of the special app round will intro into the game in a more standard fashion.
