August Plotting & CR Post

Hello everyone! It's time for the announcement and plotting post for August!

OOC Housekeeping

• The Zodiac Network Post will go up August 1st, with a midmonth post going up August 15th. The first half of the event log will be posted August 4th, with the second half going up August 11th.
• If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month!
• 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

• Trick Room TM are now available for pokemon to learn
• Deus Gem Quartz can be purchased for your ARCUS!

More details about world changes can be found on the World Changes page.

Side quests
Side quests have been given an overhaul! In the new side quest system, players will now be able to submit their own side quests to be posted, as well as earn regain points. Go ahead and check it out!

New side quests will be posted this weekend!

POKEGO Update
POKEGO has been vibing and will continue to vibe! Don't worry guys, I haven't forgotten about you. We're just dealing with one of the other factions being on fire for months. Please help put out the fire. Please.

As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.

Zodiac Update
The playable Zodiac characters are now on the app, and they are now have been given the job of assisting the Libra app users on top of their prior responsibilities. Do they get bonuses for this? No. But we'll give you a pizza party!

Starting now until the start of the second phase of the plot, the Zodiac characters will be tasked with getting Yggdrasil capable of traveling between the realms. This means they will need some type of bifrost/light magic tool that will tap into the tree. It is entirely up to you how the Zodiac crew manages to pull this off, rather they make a gadget or have a wild adventure into the Spirit Realm.

Black Order Update
So bad news, you guys won't be getting paid this month again. And your bosses are now coming after you personally.

But good news! Sympathetic members of the Order have noticed Kaisou's efforts, and they will be coming to help! Starting with the event log, Black Order ally NPCs will be around in kaisou! They will be on the Gemini app, and available to help with plot things.

The Allies that will be arriving are:

• Acheron (Effy)
• Ardbert (Saffy)
• Bayonetta (Kyah)
• Black Swan (Jay)
• Camilla (Amber)
• Childe/Tartaglia (Lum)
• Emet-Selch (Fae)
• Kamek (Lapi)
• Noel Vermillion (Bon)
• Randy Orlando (Jade)
• Ravio (Usagi)
• Risotto Nero (Amber)
• Velvet Crowe (Yuff)
• Vermouth (MK)

Feel free to plot with any of these guys about pre-established CR or thread possibilities while they're in Kaisou!

City Events
Since August is a fire month, expect the weather to be extremely hot! Luckily, it'll be a dry heat so it'll probably be more bearable than July's humidity.

And with August comes the Kaisou County Fair! Check out the fair in-between the revolution, there's lots of fun new foods to try!

Special Event: Asgard
This month's event will the big climax to the Black Order plot, and features the realm of Asgard! Characters will be facing off against the leaders of the Black Order, aka the Unyielding, and storming Asgard. The plot will mostly be focusing on the boss battles, but it will also provide a chance for characters to learn some of the Order's darkest secrets (YES, THERE'S MORE)

Speaking of the Unyielding, it's time to announce who you'll be facing off against! The Five unyielding are:

• Arianrhod (Yuff)
• Jun Wu (Ryuu)
• Kirei Kotomine (Nao)
• Kratos Aurion (Saffy)
• Tsuchigomori (Prince)

Each of these Unyielding will be their own boss fights with their own unique mechanics. Please read their plotting comments for more information! Also please note that these fights will be more difficult than the Zealot fights, so please make sure your characters are ready!

Due to the sheer amount of stuff going on, the event log will be broken down into two updates:

August 4th (aka August 3rd at 6pm EST): First half! This will contain town events, the arrival of the Black Order Allies. And the first two unyielding battles (Kratos and Arianrhod). Arianrhod's battle will take place in the fields of Hyrule and will feature a giant mech battle, while Kratos will be breaking into the Fortress of Meropide... for any of you unlucky souls who were hanging out there.

August 11th (aka August 10th at 6pm EST): Second half! This will be when the player characters will be heading into Asgard to face off with the final three members of the Unyielding (Kirei, Tsuchigomori and Jun Wu). They will all be taking place in different sectors of Asgard. Characters will also get a chance to explore Asgard and dig up more of the Order's secrets.

After the plot is over, September is planned to be a chiller month and that'll also be the time when players can start to figure out what the future of the Order will look like.

childe/tartaglia

[qilinzuo]

waves

if you wanna plot something with me hmu here or on discord

[loupmorque]

YOU

[qilinzuo]

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loupmorque]

ok no im actually super jazzed abt childe being here

wrio's probably going to get injured during the early plot and not be able to go inside asgard (bc im actually playing one of the major villians :') cant playercest) but
id love to have threads with childe/have a cryo/hydro teamup during what fights i will have wrio in :sob:

[qilinzuo]

i'm glad!!

and ooh good (alas wrio getting injured as plot demands but necessities need to be a thing indeedy.) i'd be up for a team-up/fighting thread + also general threads w/ wrio & childe as well...it'd sound like a ton of fun!

just let me know whichever fights you plan on having wrio sent towards and i'll also be keeping a plain eye out for any top-levels involving wrio/and whatnot in general to send this troublemaker highspeed at

[loupmorque]

can you believe i didnt see this notif until now
dreamwidth can you share the gigglejuice god damn

ANYWAY WE'VE ALREADY STARTED A FIGHT THREAD BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY but like also if you have other threads im down and ready to go with them
even after their fistfight in the streets wrio'll probably still like childe enough to help him out
same goal and all

[qilinzuo]

Childe's going to warm up to Wrio a decent amount following their fistfight in the streets...he is a predictable man in that once you fight him in battle, you can actually get positive points if you're a good fighter, and prove your mettle against him. Sighs at him!!!

I've got some other options in my toplevel, but if you want him to pop by randomly where Wrio's usually hanging around, he can do that (maybe even inbox a thread or something?? Since I don't have a thread or post elsewhere. Either way, I am game.)

[majeste]

YOU

[qilinzuo]

ME X2!!!!!!!!!!!

[switchaxe]

so

while Ash was in the Order he would have absolutely always been down for a fight with Childe

problem is that was because of his possessor and he has chilled tf out now

we could maybe do something with that?

[qilinzuo]

ye olde sparring partner ftw...

we can have them cross paths once again and childe finding out bout the aftermath because he'd definitely needle him for fights once more

[switchaxe]

yeees I love this
