November Plotting & CR post
November 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 November 1st, with a midmonth post going up November 15th. The event log will be posted November 4th.
- 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
- Tuskpirs are now here to eat your bad dreams!
- Alex the Seal's transportation services are now available in the harbor!
Side quests
Due to the nature of the plot, and some RL stuff popping up on the mod end, the Side quests for November will be posted at a later time! We thank you for your patience. In the meantime, you're still welcome to pick up October Side quests until the end of the month, as well as turn in any completed quests.
POKEGO Update
Those POKEGO members who experienced the HORRORS of the Event Horizon will be getting mailed a care package from Professor Oak. In it, there is a pokemon plushie, a pack of their favorite snacks (grandpa remembers), and a blend of soothing tea.
There are no missions for POKEGO this month, beyond assisting the city! In fact you will get very clear instructions that no matter how strong the temptation, do NOT study the Heartless. Weird.
As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.
Zodiac Update
After being kidnapped to another realm, Zodiac has decided to be nice and not give you another life endangering mission this month! How wonderful!
Unfortunately, you will be instead tasked with an even more stressful burden: the annual Works-giving potluck at the end of the month. Zodiac is a work culture that loves its potlucks way too much, and Works-giving is the biggest of them all. You best prepare your finest offerings, or you WILL be judged. It's even rumored that the employees that slack off will get their cubicle moved to the worst spots in the office. Better not risk it.
Black Order Update
With the Black Order back and running, the missions are coming back as well! This month, the Black Order will get tasked with assisting a trapped comrade, as well as helping out where they can in the city.
City Events
Since November is a Shadow month, the weather will be turning rather dark and cold. Winter's not quite here yet, but boy those autumn winds are biting and the night times are extra dark.
As for events around town... well, stay tune.
New Mechanic: Second Elements!
Starting in November, characters will have the option of getting a second kaisou element to obtain new abilities from! ICly, this will be considered something that's never happened before (as anytime someone could use more than one element, it was thanks to past life abilities)- and will play into the metaplot for 2025.
Due to the unusual nature of the situation, second elements will come with some hiccups. When you unlock a second element, in addition to the 2 points it'll cost to unlock, players will be asked to pick some flaws that go along with the element from a list (about 3 points worth of flaws). The flaws cannot be redeemed for extra points in gacha goodwill. After the element slot and flaws are chosen, you'll be welcome to purchase powers and any monster abilities that are locked to your new element!
Since we know having a second element will open up more options for monsters for characters, we will also be opening up the option of a third monster slot! And yes regarding Elf/Fae monsters- you still have to option to get an additional element through your monster type! It just means now you could potentially get up to three elements.
Information about purchasing second elements will be coming soon!
Plot Event: Heartless Invasion
This month's event will be based on Kingdom Hearts. Now please sit back and let me explain for the next ten hours-
Okay seriously, the barrier that was keeping Kaisou safe from the Spirit Realm will finally break down, since the one year grace period is over. With the barrier down, heartless will be appearing in Kaisou with the intent of devouring hearts and reaching the heart of the world (which the easiest way to get to that is Yggdrasil in the fortress).
As such, the entire city will be in danger! You will be tasked with battling heartless and protecting the city until a solution can be found. The heaviest fighting will be in the harbor where there will be sea battles (have fun Edward!), and the Fortress of Meropide because the Heartless REALLY want to get at Yggdrassil. If you AREN'T looking to take part in combat, there will be safe zones on Cathedral Hill and Undertown -- plus an entire area that you can help out via minigames. Because.... who doesn't love... Kingdom hearts minigames....
Meanwhile, for those looking to help fix the barrier and screw with your characters mentally - the Crystal Tower will have a solution! Unfortunately the Crystal tower will be converted into a version of Castle Oblivion- aka meaning you will slowly lose your memories as you climb it. In addition, you'll have the option to face rooms conjured from the memories of your companions (Ardyn, Byleth, Cotton, Diarmuid, Leon, Venti, and Zhongli). Some of these rooms will have NPC elements, while others will be completely player controlled.
Finally, for those interested in having an NPC group battle like in the August plot, there will be one at the top of the tower against a certain suit of armor with a lot of will.
Memories will be restored at the end of the tower, though players are welcomed to use this as an opportunity to change any details in their AUs.

Type: Paranormal AU
About: Former TBO Guardian, current POKEGO apprentice. Used to be an anxious mess with a temper, but he's been in Kaisou for nearly two years and it's done wonders for him. Still has a temper, but it is what it is.
Event Plans: He's gonna be hanging around the Harbor and the Fortress to fight off Heartless! There's not much else to say here!

Canon: Tokyo Xanadu
Type: Normal AU, for all the good that qualifier does after over a year and a half
About: Former delinquent who got adopted by the owners of a restaurant in the University District, set to take over the place himself soon. Now with a totally not possessed younger brother to fret about.
Event Plans: So, the aforementioned restaurant in the University District? He's been working to turn that into a safehouse for anyone who can't get to Cathedral Hill, the Vogue, or Undertown. Need a safe place to duck into in the University District while the Heartless are running amok? Look no further!
no subject
But seriously, does Shio need any kind of hand with that safehouse idea? Yugo won't be fighting, but he can help Shio.
no subject
Beyond that, maybe doing stuff like helping distribute food and water bottles to people brought in, or first aid kits.
(Shio will seriously appreciate the help)

About: POKEGO medic with the burden of social skills. Generally a good-natured guy, but a little bit of a shit sometimes.

Type: Paranormal AU
About: Kaisou U student and Jackdaw intern who'd been hoping to keep their head down despite knowing about the paranormal since they were a young teenager. So much for that, huh?
Event Plans: HAHAHA WELL. I think the post made it a bit obvious, but Bailey's going to be headed to the Crystal Tower! And oops there go her memories. And she's going to have fun(?) with the Fire Emblem map I'm inflicting on everyone headed into the tower :) It's. Fine? Probably.

Type: Zodiac AU
About: Lady who really wanted to be a veterinarian, but got stuck working for Zodiac after an internship because of bureaucratic error. Normally pretty chill, but has her limits.
Event Plans: I don't have much of anything planned for Rika! I might get her Clodsire a move or two and have her help out by way of that + her Soul Device, but we will see. If anyone wants to plot anything, I'm open to it!
