Faction Updates
Just noting that we're combining the three factions together into one section for space!

POKEGO: The POKEGO Animal Shelter has received a number of upgrades for everyone to check out! As such, POKEGO will be having a pretty quiet month as they continue to work on that. They will also have a booth at the Anime Convention in order to help teach about animals and other nerdy things. As always, you can check out updates to the PICHU facility here and information about Cygnus Academy here.

Zodiac: Due to all your hard work during Pride, you actually get some relaxation time! Or at least, no additional projects being dumped on you. Enjoy it while you can!

Black Order: The Black Order succeeded in driving back the gloom from the Hole, though it still looks like there's more down there. This month, there will be a mission but it will be happening in the second half of the month due to the mod who runs those plotlines having RL obligations. Please look forward to it.

City Events
This month, these things will be going on in the city:

- It will be a Water Element month! This means the water element will be stronger, while fire element will be weaker. Weather wise, it means the weather will be muggy and humid, with heavy rains and constant thunderstorms throughout the month, fun!!

- In the Kanto region, there will be several outbreaks of water, ice and poison-type pokemon! If you're hoping to catch pokemon of that type, this is the month to try your luck! Otherwise be careful not to get eaten.

- Kaisou's annual Anime Convention will be taking place this month during the weekends! Found at the civic center, the anime convention contains a pleothra of fun activities, booths, panels and cosplay.

- On the weekend of July 18th (goodwill weekend), the goodwill shall be running a Donation special! For this weekend, not only will they take grab bag items- but every item donated will count for 1 point, up to a maximum of ten points! So if you're looking to do some spring cleaning, this is your chance!

These will be starting up at the start of the month. There won't be any mod run event logs on these events, so feel free to make your own posts on it!

Spirit Realm Event: Jumanji
July's Spirit Realm Event will be based on the movie Jumanji! Characters will find copies of the cursed board game around Kaisou and feel a compulsion to play it. Once the game starts, the area of town they are playing in will be trapped in a barrier and will be forced to deal with a barrage of jungle-related threats until the game is over.

In order to facilitate this, we plan to run a number of "games" through Kaisou. Basically 3-5 players will be in charge of running a game, and having their characters RNG results. Meanwhile other characters who wish to take part in the plot (but not do dice rolling) will be caught in the barriers of town. If you wish not to participate, your character may simply be in the parts of town that aren't covered by barriers. Though please note, the number of games that get run will be entirely dependent on how many players take part in running the game portion.

If you are interested in having your character play the game, please comment below! If you want your character to play but ICly they wouldn't, they can feel a magic compulsion to do so.

The spirit realm log will be going up on July 15th.

JUMANJI INVOLVEMENT (NOT PLAYING IN THE GAME JUST 🧍)

[kaisoumods]

Aka if you aren't interested in having your character be involved directly in one of the games BUT want them caught up in the madness of a particular game, comment here!

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Which Game?:</b> (list what game they are going to be stuck in, this will help us plot). <b>Notes:</b> (is there any particular way the character's presence will affect the game that the mods should be aware of)

[whiteshroud]

Player Name: Yuff
Character Name: Jun Kohinata
Which Game?: Meropide!
Notes: We're going to need to incapacitate him somehow to prevent him from curb-stomping things and ruining the fun (fun for the players the characters aren't having fun).

[life_ethereal]

Player Name: Ryuu
Character Name: Harumasa Asaba
Which Game?: Meropide: Randomizer Wing
Notes: Harumasa can really only help people out like a maximum of two times before I have to start rolling for consciousness. For the most part, he'll be moral support and your damsel in distress who REALLY needs to be hard carried by the group. :D

[droptheious]

Player Name: TF
Character Name: Varian
Which Game?: Meropide
Notes: He has bombs and he isn't afraid to use them.

[aslowburn]

Player Name: TF
Character Name: Persephone (she might be bumped up to player depending on signups)
Which Game?: Cottage
Notes: Powered or not she is still a god and will just fully flip out and punch/stab things til they're dead. She'll take PERSONAL OFFENCE to this attack on her territory.

[quit_ur_kiniching]

Player Name: Ryuu
Character Name: Kinich
Which Game?: Random Play
Notes: He's got a Dendro Vision, an angry ancient dragon who acts like a 12-year-old boy playing Call of Duty like it's his personality trait actively trying to kill him, some Quetzalcoatl powers to revive himself explosively, and also he desperately wants to fight the board game because he's also a Kasha. LMFAO

[keterclass]

Player Name: Thorn
Character Name: Nephrite
Which Game?: Random Play
Notes: he can bring dead people back, but only once per month, so please try not to die

[cutenessproximity]

Player Name: Thorn
Character Name: Gwendal
Which Game?: Cygnus
Notes: He can and will turn into a grizzly bear for making his way through the jungle when it shows up.

[nefilim]

Player Name: Jay
Character Name: Anastasia Fabre (can also be bumped up to player if needed!)
Which Game?: Cottage
Notes: she will fight a lion, she's gonna fight a lion

[unreachableside]

Player Name: Saffy
Character Name: Blade
Which Game?: Cygnus
Notes: He will be stuck in his pomsky form because of low power.

[mstitel]

Player Name: Kels
Character Name: James Rogers
Which Game?: Meropide!
Notes: The resident sleepy kitten is absolutely getting trapped in this. As far as powers go, he doesn't have anything overpowered that I can think of (that he knows of), but he will be hacking at any vines that show up with his shield and will overall be very grumpy that he can't just nap through another month of shenanigans.

[asipofbride]

Player Name: Jackals
Character Name: Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Which Game?: Cottage Cult Compound
Notes: While the Cross Punisher will be in its closet and inaccessible, there's more than one way to saw someone in half with a gun--

[loupmorque]

Player Name: Prince
Character Name: Wriothesley
Which Game?: Meropiode!
Notes: He's going to be in his office when the chaos starts and he'll want to come help--he's never seen anything like Jungle before in his life, he's going to be entirely at a disadvantage despite the desire to help.

[ganymed]

Player Name: Luminitrium
Character Name: Ganymede
Which Game?: Morrigan
Notes: Ganymede has heals? But low powered and a bystander so I don't think it should be a major impact. I'm writing this up half-asleep and this is all I can think

Re: JUMANJI INVOLVEMENT (NOT PLAYING IN THE GAME JUST 🧍)

[qilinzuo]

Player Name: Luminitrium
Character Name: Childe
Which Game?: Crystal Tower
Notes: He's a good fighter even powerless wise but jumanji sounds chaotic enough so no drastic measures

[paraselenic]

Player Name: RCeus
Character Name: Lycaon
Which Game?: Random Play
Notes: He will gladly curbstomp any threat, but also he is very fluffy if the horrors of Jumanji require an emotional support dog.

[majeste]

Player Name: Kiku
Character Name: Furina de Fontaine
Which Game?: Meropide
Notes: Oh god what is happening, she can heal?!?! And a crab she isn't afraid to use.
