World Changes
- The Gold Saucer can be found in the Entertainment District! Go play some mini-games!
Town Events
The days of Kaisou are warm, beautiful, and full of beautiful flowers! Truly idealistic spring weather. However due to Shadow being the dominant element, the nights will see much darker with sources of light not working as well as they normally do. Not only that, but if you aren't in properly lit places the shadows will seem to play tricks on you and your sanity. Did that shadow just move? Did you hear something?
Unfortunately, shadows playing tricks on you isn't the only problem Kaisou will have. Starting May 6th and running through the conclusion of the Spirit Gate plot (so for a week or two), the vengeful spirit La Llorona will be wandering the streets of Kaisou, grabbing and drowning those who cross her path, NPC and PC alike. She can be fought off and exorcised, but no matter what she'll reappear in another part of town an hour later. Anyone killed by La Llorona will follow the normal rules of death.
On the other hand, high school students will have a myriad of end-of-the-year activities: the music concert, finals, prom and graduation! These will all be in their own separate log.
Gate Event: Land of the Forgotten
This month's spirit realm is based on a mixture of Mexican, Aztec and Mayan mythology. Characters will be traveling to the Land of the Forgotten, a realm that houses all things lost and forgotten, in hopes of putting an end to La Llorona's killing spree. Characters will encounter all sorts of dangerous creatures as well as the ruins of places from AU characters' past lives (no sign of OU worlds -- unless you have an AU in the cast).
In addition, this is the first plot that will include interactable NPCs! The Black Order, a paranormal faction, will be attempting to guard the realm as they don't trust you guys due to your (unfortunate) Zodiac ties. Characters can reason with the Black Order Guardians, trick them, or simply fight your way through. There will be multiple Black Order NPCs, but in order to keep the players handling the NPCs from being overwhelmed - we ask that you only tag 1 NPC per character. NPCs will also have a set limit of threads they can do at a time, though group threads are allowed if you want to take on an Order member in a team!
Finally, in order to stop La Llorona, characters can volunteer to take part in a deadly soccer game in which it'll be a mostly normal soccer game but the losing team will be killed (no pressure!). Characters will be aware of the risk of death when they volunteer, though they will be unaware that this death will be a penalty-free death -- meaning they will revive with all their regains preserved and don't have to be possessed (unless they wanna be). Though they'll remember dying so I guess they'll have that trauma. Characters on the winning team and spectators who attempt to intervene with the losing team's deaths will also be killed and have a penalty-free death.
Players can volunteer to be on the losing team specifically,
ETA 2: Characters can now volunteer to be on the surviving team! Enjoy your survivor's guilt! (RNG and death team are still open!)
And like any character death, we highly recommend you talk with your close CR before volunteering to let them know of your plans! Tormenting characters is more fun when we're all on the same page!
There are a maximum of 22 slots available for the soccer game (11 characters per team, meaning a maximum of 11 characters will die not counting any who try to intervene). If there are less than 14 volunteers available (7 per team), unfilled slots will be filled by NPCs. If you wish to volunteer, it can be done in the comment thread below!
ETA (5/12): Signups for Deadly Soccer are now CLOSED! Below are the final teams
WINNING TEAM (survives) | LOSING TEAM (dies) |
---|---|
⪢ Mewtwo ⪢ Adol ⪢ Katsuki ⪢ Hansa ⪢ Tiera ⪢ Souta ⪢ Artorias (NPC) |
⪢ Hunter ⪢ Rean ⪢ Zelos ⪢ Izuku ⪢ Miyako ⪢ Ken ⪢ Arthur |

Fae | Rhel Fashonti
Contact: DM, Plurk, or Discord
Time zone: US Central
Character Name: Rhel Fashonti
Canon: FF14 WoL
Type: OU
About: Black magic nerd catte
Event Plans: Rhel will be getting into Shenangians! also possibly signing up for soccer if we need a few extra people since August isn't gonna be around and I am running an NPC for the event. (This is in part why August is going home during May, he is way too active and Rhel needs to do more shit anyway.) But yeah this is gonna be a rough event for one catgirl so please be gentle with her.
Anything else? August will be on the app and absolutely mailing people charms, talismans, and anything else he can think of to protect folks once he hears about La Llorona but like I said, he's not gonna be in the city for that. No one die while he's gone please.

what ruins would be the most upsetting
also the very fact that seeing ruins of many of these upsetting places will trigger some memories is probably upsetting but

Character Name: G'raha Tia
Canon: FFXIV
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Nerd and grad student who is turning into a catboy, who is... also a nerd.
Event Plans: WELL ruins of his past life world will be a.) inexplicably upsetting to him b.) more explainably upsetting to his castmates and c.) trigger some memories! Because who doesn't like remembering that time you took a two hundred year nap and then woke up to a destroyed world??? Sooo he might be needing a little bit of moral support on that front.
For better (?) news, he knows enough about folklore to know La Llorona, so he'll be able to distribute info on that pretty easily. The bad news is that he doesn't really have any means to defend himself other than.... really good night vision and running away.
Anything else? He still needs to get out and meeting more people so! Up for most things! Also, Amal being asleep is going to trigger a different unpleasant memory, soooooo yeah.

Character Name: Lita Elnaeus [
Canon: Etrian Odyssey IV (OC)
Type: Normal AU
About: A college student with a focus on dance and dance-related things. Friendly most of the time, likes to consider herself easy for people to make friends with, likes making new friends herself. She was unprepared for any of this but has pretty quickly gotten some kind of understanding as to how weird her life's going to get. For some reason, most of the weirdness that's happened directly to her is that she's just periodically and repeatedly found random stuff for no immediately-apparent reason; she's been keeping track in the nigh-futile hopes that she can find some sort of pattern that could possibly explain it.
Event Plans: Kay's looking at maybe doing something to Ris, in which case Lita will probably be there to witness it (hey Kay, can we say they've started hanging out semi-regularly? Lita would certainly try to if allowed edit: whoop got the ok for this on plurk) and then later lose every single shit she has when Ris comes back? Like yeah okay let's make Lita have her first real experience with The Bullshit™ and also make it very much not fun for her. Other than that possibility, I'm not sure at the moment what Lita will be doing.
Character Name: The Witch (Katida Rhydderch) [
Canon: Dragon Marked For Death
Type: Normal AU
About: A high-schooler who somewhat-recently found herself suddenly involved in things; she's still largely trying to find her footing in regard to that.
Event Plans: She's in high school (currently a junior) so she'll have a good chunk of the usual end-of-year stuff to deal with there. As for involvement in the spirit realm stuff, I'm currently undecided, though it would definitely do something memories-wise (and considering her canon, that's...probably not great...which means it's absolutely great and probably should happen). The one thing I know for sure is she will NOT be involved in the soccer game.
Anything else? I've got a nasty curveball planned for Kat that is NOT related to the event. I was planning for said curveball to happen in either April or May, but if it would be best to avoid having too much stuff happening at once, I could put it off a bit longer and do it in June instead. If you're familiar with her canon, let's just say she's going to get her hat back eventually and leave it at that.

Character Name: Mirabel Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Type: OU
About: A spunky, adventurous girl who comes from a all magical family, despite not having any powers herself. An optimist who has questionable self-worth issues. She's also possessed by a wolf spirit!
Event Plans: Mirabel is... not doing a damn thing! She'll be working on her art projects, going to prom, doing her end of school year concert... basically just school things. But once she knows La Llorona is a thing, she will be avoiding like the plague.
Character Name: Mewtwo
Canon: Pokemon
Type: OU
About: A very powerful Pokemon who was born in a lab and subjected to painful experiments. Escaped and has been hunted ever since. Tends to be very serious and distrustful of humans.
Event Plans: Mewtwo will be trying to save unfortunate humans from La Llorona! She'll also be playing soccer, though she won't really be sure how it works. She's going to end up living, but be pretty traumatized watching the other team die!
Character Name: Napstablook
Canon: Undertale
Type: Paranormal AU
About: A severe introvert who loves music, tends to be a huge pushover and a people-pleaser. In their AU, they were raised by rockstar musician parents, who decided to settle in Kaisou. They've been able to see ghosts since they were little, and have developed a heavy interest in the supernatural/paranormal because of it. They still love music, although their music is inspired by the supernatural and people tend to treat it as Halloween music. They work as a local DJ in town.
Event Plans: Napstablook won't be playing death soccer, but they will die! La Llorona will get them - unless someone saves them before that happens. If they die, they will spend the rest of the month having an existential crisis.
Anything else? I will be on an unofficial hiatus later in May (May 18th thru 23rd)! Tags will be slow to non-existent while I do con stuff.

Character Name: Zelos Wilder
Canon: Tales of Symphonia
Type: OU
About: A flirty and loud guy who dodges saying anything like he's a dodgeball champion. He will probably not share anything about his past, but let's just say he was raised to be basically a sacrificial lamb for a fake religion and man is he bitter and untrusting. For those canon familiar, he's from post-kratos route - aka the one where he dies. He's also been dealing with the side effects of angel toxicosis so he's been EXTRA fun.
Event Plans: Zelos will be taking part of the deadly soccer for less than noble reasons. His toxicosis will also possibly be progressing so he'll lose his sense of touch.
Anything else? I'm sorry he's like this.
Character Name: Elliot Craig
Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
Type: Normal AU!
About: A music teacher at Kaisou High School and aspiring professional musician. Elliot is constantly anxious, but he cares a lot about his students and doing the right thing. Can turn into a cat thanks to the march event and has some magic power, so that's something!
Event Plans: Early on in the month, Elliot will be running the spring concert as well as chaperoning during prom. He'll care about trying to stop La Llorona, but will be very distraught that people he knows are gonna die. If someone could stop him from getting himself killed, that'd be great!
Anything else? Elliot by the end of the month
Character Name: Jun Nightroad
Canon: Tokyo Xanadu
Type: Paranormal AU
About: A boy who was a victim of Krusnik, but escaped thanks to Abel and has been living peacefully with his adopted dad in Kaisou ever since. He loves anime and is pretty curious about things. Also has the power of teleport and super strength so that's cool.
Event Plans: Jun will be able to help people escape La Llorona if they want a rescue! He also may be involved with Spirit Realm stuff, but I haven't decided. He thankfully will not volunteer for deadly soccer because he doesn't want his dad to kill him.
Anything else? Watch anime.
And of course I'll be playing one of the NPCS this month! Don't stop, keep walking.

Character Name: Katsuki Bakugou
Canon: My Hero Academia
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Ill-tempered college student possessed by a kitsune. At his center he's a good guy though.
Event Plans: He's going to be pissed he can't play death soccer. He doesn't do well sitting on the bench.
Anything else? Katsuki is getting some trauma in May and uhh... he might be more willing to admit he needs friends once that happens? He's not going to be okay.
Character Name: Pepa Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Type: OU
About: Emotional wreck mother of three who's mood affects the weather.
Event Plans: Hiding in Casita and watching her children like a hawk. Potentially planning the kidnapping of her AU'd youngest child. But her sister might be talking her out of it so.
Anything else? Expect bad weather if you get close enough to her.

Character Name: Moana
Canon: Moana
Type: Paranormal AU
About: A friendly, spirited teen attending Kaisou Public High. She’s been aware of the supernatural most of her life, and is eager to get to look into it more
Event Plans: Despite wanting to get more involved with supernatural shenanigans, she’ll mostly be sitting this one out in favor of focusing on end-of-the-year school stuff. She may get almost drowned by La Llorona and discover her new water manipulation power though
Anything else? Moana is getting a friend group together for prom! If you’d like to join in, let me know!
Character Name: Luisa Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Type: OU
About: A strong, hard-working young woman who cares deeply about her family. She’s had a rough few months in Kaisou, but she’s
mostlygetting byEvent Plans: Luisa will also likely be sitting this one out. Once she hears about La Llorona, she’ll decide to stay home and make sure her family is safe. However, if she knows someone going to the spirit world, she might be persuaded to go to help out, so if someone would like her to accompany them she likely (though reluctantly) will agree.
Anything else? Luisa will be undergoing her contract pricing the first week of May, 2-8. If anyone would like to interact with her for the first four days of her binge eating, let me know!

Character Name: Hansa Cervantes
Canon: Fate/Strange Fake
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Hansa Cervantes is your average normal priest with nothing up his sleeve....not. He's a sarcastic, wisecracking troll of a guy who loves to worm under your skin when he isn't going out there and punching bad people in the name of Jesus. He is surprisingly a really good guy deep down...maybe? Probably? Either way, he's shockingly reliable, and he's willing to help wherever he can.
Event Plans: Well! Jesus isn't protecting him in death football! HE'S DYING! This is fine. Honestly, though, he'll probably have to lay down for a while after he gets revived (and get chewed out by Abel and Jun probably), but hey, he bounced back from crazy stuff in his backstory to have amazing mental health, he'll probably just need to take a breather after all of that (and maybe wish he was more robotic like his random flashbacks).
Anything else? OPENS MY ARMS LET MY PRIEST GET TO KNOW YOU he needs friends. and people to bully. (these are the same thing)

Character Name: Adol Christin
Canon: Ys series
Type: OU
About: An adventurer who's good of heart, but empty of head. If you need a task done, whether great or small, he's glad to help. Just don't be alarmed if he wanders off for days at a time if there isn't a task to complete. That's normal for him.
Event Plans: He's here to play soccer and make a map of the whole dang Realm, and the latter might not necessarily be possible, but hot dang is he gonna try.
Character Name: Ghaleon
Canon: Lunar series (CRAU)
Type: OU
About: A healer/sorcerer with a colorful past and an attitude that can best be described with the quote "If I can continue to be a minor nuisance to the forces of nature trying to decompose me, I’m gonna consider that a win."
Event Plans: Ghaleon's probably going to take a look into the Land of the Forgotten, decide this is way too reminiscent of Certain Things, and peace out to look after Amal's unconscious ass. Y'all got this. Gonna be rockin' some skull facepaint through all this though since guess who's died before?
Character Name: Meti Cervantes Vargas (Meta Knight)
Canon: Kirby series
Type: Paranormal AU
About: A little guy with the heart of a knight and a desire for battle, Meti is a joth (jock goth) with a nerdy streak.
Event Plans: He's probably sidelining himself for this one because he doesn't trust Zodiac and sure as hell isn't sticking his neck out for a bunch of strangers. There's a chance he might try to fight La Llorona, but will he find her? Rule of Funny says no. c:
Anything else? My Friend and the Setting Sun is a good song

Character Name: Bruno Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Type: OU
About: Weird rat man seer who has anxieties around people but ie genuinely a lovely caring guy, he's just super odd.
Event Plans: He'll hear about La Llorona and give a big NOPE to going anywhere. Riiiiight up until he hears about the soccer game and going to see the people he cares about a lot (Zelos and Hunter that's you, you idiots) dying and having a real bad time with that. Given his vision was the ball with the blood on it, it's gonna be especially poignant for him.
Anything else? I'm bringing another character in for May so get ready for a teenage nerd!

Event Plans: Hunter will be doing some investigation on La Llorona and will probably have a close call with her. Then he'll be participating in the soccer game and dying horribly, yaaay! He'll also be participating in the high school's spring concert (he's been learning the violin) and attending prom.
Anything else? Planning on apping a fighty grass boy next month!

Character Name: Moxxie aka Maxwell Lansky
Canon: Helluva Boxx
Type: Normal AU
About: He's a musical theater professor at Kaisou University...or at least he was. Shortly after the app downloaded itself onto his phone, Professor Lansky woke up as a 2'5 imp who every normal person apparently now sees as a possum. He's stolen clothing off of a ventriloquist dummy (including a cute little red bow tie) and holed up in his house. Students at the university might be concerned that he's no longer showing up to class and baristas are likely breathing a sigh of relief that they no longer have to take his obnoxious orders, and he's freaking out and doesn't know what to do.
Event Plans: He won't be doing much, because he's still figuring out what's even going on with all of this so he's not about to start investigating ghosts, and he's certainly not signing up for soccer when the ball is a third of his height.
Anything else? He just wants everyone to know that he's not a possum.

About: Ordinary but anxious student wakes up to the supernatural on his birthday, collects one Pokemon, and proceeds to gain several more worries in quick succession. He is....attempting to deal? But there's a Persona in his head that keeps advocating violence. He's Suffering.
Event Plans: He's going to wallflower at prom and get some very disturbing stuff out of the gate of a memory-ish nature because Persona 2. I cannot ignore Mayan anything with a Persona 2. It's going to be a shitshow but he badly needs friends.

Character Name: Arthur Charles (Widogast)
Canon: Etrian Odyssey Untold with 15 Strangers CRAU
Type: Paranormal AU
About: High-energy library lad and science nerd lives in the library and is aware of the supernatural because he's from a long line of magic archivists and couldn't be kept out. Recently gained the power to see the past and future! He's having a terrible time with it.
Event Plans: I signed him up for soccer. That's all I have right now. As of this writing I don't know if he's living or dying yet, but even if he survives he's going to get some shit. UPDATE: Death.
Anything else? If anyone wants to shove some piece of background (or future, for those who have them) at him I have a post to use as an inbox for his visions! You can also feel free to hit me up for a thread! My arms are wide open--
Character Name: Mercedes Zeppeli/von Martritz
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Type: Paranormal AU
About: Gentle and responsible young woman who recently moved to town with her brother, trying to get settled as independent adults as quickly as possible. Really likes making sweets and will feed everyone. Probably too good for this sinful earth. Miiiight be quietly sitting on some significant issues but it's fine.
Event Plans: First of all! Mercedes is going to be spending a whole entire day baking for literally everyone soon! And if that day happens to be Mother's Day it's probably a coincidence. Probably. After that she'll be going into the Gate, for her own reasons, and actually not having a horrible time because the boys are suffering this month. She and her brother also have upcoming birthdays to handle, hers will be a gacha-fest, we'll see what happens with that when I pull for her!
Anything else?

Time zone: EST
Character Name: Souta Suzukaze
Canon: Otogi Juushi Akazukin (Fairy Muskeeters)
Type: Normal AU
About: A soft sweet boy. Souta is a 14 year old middle schooler with a very gentle soul who loves fantasy. He moved to Kaisou with his father within the year, so the town still feels very new to him. Recently Souta has learned to talk to plants, and started gaining memories of mystery magical girls.
Event Plans: Thanks to the IC warning, he's going to be cautious and thus unlikely to encounter La Llorona directly. However, he will still be investigating the spirit gates this month: both because he promised to find more information about them, and also because he is that kind of Shounen Protagonist. Just... without any fighting powers. He'll volunteer for death soccer, live, and have some complex feelings about it all.
Anything else? Anyone want to protect a silly shounen with (almost) no powers? Friendships and other CR also welcome.
