October Plotting & CR Post

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

OOC Housekeeping

• The Zodiac Network Post will go up October 1st, with a midmonth post going up October 15th. The game wide event log will go up October 4th.
• If you haven't already, please remember to check in for activity! Activity is due by the end of the month.
• An AU workshop post will be going up October 8th!
• 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

• Mognet, a moogle mail delivery service, is now running in Kaisou!
• Maxim Tomatoes can now be purchased in specialty grocery stores!
• A small Ogier Stedding can be found within Kami State Park, disabling all magic of those who enter.
• A new rule has been implemented, new players must wait one month before inviting other players! This is so new players have a chance to get settled in and help out any friends they bring along.

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

Side quests
New Side Quests have been added for the month of October! Go ahead and sign up! If you haven't turned in quests for September gacha points, you can still do so until the end of the month! However, signing up for any September quests is now closed.

Town Events
The spoopy season is upon all! All over Kaisou, Halloween decorations and celebrations will be going on throughout the month! Buy a costume at your local Spirit Halloween, and join in!

However things aren't all fun and games with this season. Many cultures claim that this is the time of year where the veil between the Spirit World and this world are at its thinnest, and boy will that turn out to be accurate. Through the months of October and November, all NPCS will notice the unusual goings on. Meaning you folks who like to carry around fantasy weapons and have inhuman features are going to have a LOT of questions to answer.

Not only that, but tears, smaller gates that open up to smaller monster-infested labyrinths will be opening up more frequently throughout the month, with beasts attempting to drag unsuspecting victims into the spirit realm to be consumed. Team up to patrol the city or go exploring a tear at your peril. Those who had some unfinished business with the Spirit Realm may use this month to pursue certain targets. Please comment below and we will create a quest for you! Otherwise you can do a more generic adventure which will involve fighting monsters and saving folks before they get eaten.

It should be noted that the labyrinths that OUs entered upon arrival won't be available this month. Stay tune for November for that one!

Gate Event: The Qliphoth
October's gate event will be based on the series Devil May Cry. Players can volunteer to have their characters kidnapped by demons as part of a ritual. While they are kidnapped, they will have to face off with demonic versions of themselves - aka demon doppelgangers that reflect some of their worst traits to a magnified degree. Kidnapped victims will be expected to be missing from Kaisou for anywhere from 2 days to a week ICly, depending on how long you want your character to be nabbed.

Characters who haven't been kidnapped will of course be part of the rescue party! While there are things for non-combatant characters to do to help out (helping out at the safe zone, organizing a party to raise spirits) - true to DMC fashion, the rescue operation will involve lots and lots and lots of demon fighting. Bring your most extra weapons and come face the demon foe!

If you're interested in having your character be kidnapped, please comment below under the kidnapping sign ups! Before you sign up we Highly Recommend you check with Close CR first to make sure they're okay with this. Close CR in this instance would count as any character who would reasonably panic if your character went MIA for a week (family, roommates, significant others, etc). Remember: torturing characters is always more fun when we're all on the same page!

Also a special shoutout to Kyah, Fae, and Amber for helping with creating this event! Thanks guys!

TF - Bruno & Varian

[wedonttalkabout]

Player Name: TF
Contact: teeff, teefflady#2361 or PM
Time zone: GMT

Character Name: Bruno Madrigal
Canon: Encanto
Type: OU
About: Awkward seer who loves rats more than people. Lived in the walls for a decade. Has a boatload of trauma from being ostracised for his powers pretty much his entire life.
Event Plans: Bruno's gonna be getting kidnapped! His doppelganger is basically gonna be the monster everyone said he was so expect a tall, heartless asshole. He has a BUNCH of people who are coming to save him thanks to his family and CR - but other folks are welcome to join the Save Bruno possy. He's going to be extremely touched by how many people care to rescue him, especially how rattled his doppelganger will make him feel.

Character Name: Varian
Canon: Tangled
Type: OU
About: Alchemist and reformed villain trying to help people to even out the scales of all the bad stuff he did. Spicy kitten in teenage boy form.
Event Plans: Varian's going off into the spirit realm to rescue Fern because you can't kidnap his boyfriend. People are welcome to watch him go absolutely feral attacking demons because he'll be Big Mad and that's when Varian gets stabby. I'm happy for him to rescue other people while he's on his way around!

Anything else? Sidequest wise I'm happy to throw my guys at any of them! Hit me up if you wanna do a thing with them!

[arrowtotheheal]

I want to throw this kid at Bruno so much.

Will could definitely be dragged along to help rescue Fern! Someone's gotta heal Varian when he does something reckless. That being said, there'll definitely be a comparison between Stabby!Varian and Nico since... yeah.

[droptheious]

Yessssss, he can come meet the most nuerotic man in existence.

Omg please do! And yes, he definitely needs a healer around him because he has exactly zero self-preservation skills. Please save him from himself, Will. I am very pleased for his "angy goth kid" comparisons with Nico to keep mounting up.

[arrowtotheheal]

Yesssss and that's saying a lot.

He'll try to save Varian from himself! I love that it'll amount to, "why are you Nico but musically talented and with a horrible alchemy addiction? We're even Disney characters!!!"

[droptheious]

I love this so very much. Poor Will didn't do anything to deserve this, but this is what he's getting.

[arrowtotheheal]

He's accepted this as his life. His taste in friends must always be somewhat questionable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: TF - Bruno & Varian

[couldntsaveone]

Bruno, no! He'll come help save you!

Also, he's adopting your nephew. And also potentially you. Your nephew agreed and you may or may not get a say in the matter? lmao joking unless But yeah, Antonio is now going to be his new little brother.

[wedonttalkabout]

Awwww that's adorable though! Bruno just has a "sure okay" to it all because why not at this point.

[couldntsaveone]

Bruno randomly acquiring a new nephew who legit rescued him, adopted him despite him being a grown man, and also needs so much help even though he won't admit or show it. At the very least, he knows that he gets along with Luffy!
