CR MEME / EMP DECEMBER 2023
PLOT WITH ME/ENABLE ME PLZ
Welcome to Expiation's CR meme! This is a post where players can plot with each other on the direction they'd like to go for the month, and so on and so forth. There's a form below for you to fill out below, so get plotting!
We're now inclding an EMP element since it's an app month! We have an APP THIS PLEASE and ENABLE ME PLEASE in the comments below with a form, so if you're interested in participating, use the form and comment under the subject title applicable. Other than that, the regular comments will go as a normal CR meme would!
The SOTG for December is here, with changes and where the game is going for the month.
DECEMBER HAPPENINGS

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!: DECEMBER TDM
Starting this month, we're combining the monthly mingle and TDM into one log! This means that current characters will be able to post a top-level on the TDM, as well as prospective characters of course. Please note that the December TDM will also be forward-dated to DECEMBER 18th. We don't want to start anything too close to Christmas, but forward-dating to the middle of the month will give players and their characters some time to settle down after November's event.
Here's a little preview of what we're cooking up:
DECEMBER ARRIVALS
Whatever pulls the Chosen into the world of Expiation seems to have gone absolutely haywire this month. New characters will find themselves appearing all over, with no rhyme or reason to it. Appearing in someone's house? A random kitchen? In a wagon traveling somewhere else? A grain silo (iykyk, right), directly in the lake or in someone's shower...everything is fair game. Hopefully no one's in the middle of changing when they're intruded upon, yikes!
THE WINTER SOLSTICE
Aldrip has a curious custom on the darkest night of the year. It's said that all should lock their doors and darken their lights, as gifts given on this night can be particularly wicked and play tricks on the receiver. True enough, most Chosen will find a mysterious box appearing on their doorstep (or, if they don't have a doorstep, mysteriously on or near their person). Some of these boxes may contain harmless treats or trinkets such as charming talismans to hang, or tins of cookies. Some others mysteriously contain nothing...but the next morning, when Chosen with empty boxes awake, they find prankster-like tricks have been played on them overnight. We leave the extent of these tricks in your hands for now: these effects can be anything you like, from the ability to float to their skin turning purple. Just bear in mind that these should be minor effects, additions, or inconveniences, rather than major powers. The effects will last for at least 24 hours, but could take a few days to wear off.
Unfortunately for them, the other part of the tradition is a giant feast the evening after the Solstice. So if they want to try any of the food, they'll have to show their face around town...and all the spots, cat ears, or whatever you can cook up that they've been afflicted with.
YOU ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING
The morning after doors close for Solstice, strange plants begin to appear around town. Yep, you guessed it, these are different varieties of mistletoe, and they're here to spread...holiday cheer? Strangely, these sprigs seem to sport different-colored berries, and each berry color seems to have a different effect:
White berries: the traditional kissing variety!
Red berries: this variety encourages you to fight the person you're stuck with, rather than kissing.
Purple berries: Rather than kissing or fighting, one can only be released from this particular mistletoe by one of the victims sharing a secret with the other.
Some of these are harmless sprigs of greenery, and you can just ignore them. Some others are plagued by tiny creatures that come to be known as Missile Toads, which launch sticky substances at feet to keep them stuck under the mistletoe until they fulfill the plant's needs.
A CRYSTALLINE CALL
An interesting phenomenon begins to happen around this time of year around the Lorentia Caves. It sounds almost like a mournful wailing, or like harsh wind blowing through the caves. Sometimes, though, it begins to sound strange: mechanical, distorted. Investigating this strange sound yields few results: there are no wailing humans or sad robots hidden in the caves at this time, unfortunately! But there are tunnels for exploring (and a rumored dragon), as well as some strange, palm-sized rocks that seem to glow when handled. They don't seem to do much, other than make for a nice reading light, but they can be taken from the cave as a charming souvenir. When one progresses far enough within the caves, they begin to feel a sense of urgency demanding that they turn back and leave. This feeling progresses the more they go on, until they finally give in and turn around.

Character: Tsunayoshi Sawada
Canon: Katekyou Hitman Reborn
Canon Point:Post Series
Crime: Literally getting involved with the Mafia
Background/Personality: ATsuna is the reluctant heir to the Vongola Mafia Family. As a result, Tsuna is kind of torn between wanting to be a normal kid living a normal life but also someone needs to reform the mafia. His life is a chaotic mess and he is forever catching up to it, but that's apparently the way it goes when you're a mafia boss. He is also very kind and tends to accept people very easily.
He didn't ask for trouble but it follows him home anyway.
Abilities: Tsuna's main power is the Dying Will Flames. He can use them to fight and to fly and a variety of other things. His flames in particular are Sky Flames, which have the power of harmonization.
Plans:
-After everything that happened with the Rumpitarians and fighting the sea monster, Tsuna is probably going to be looking for a bit of a quiet period. Also, the holidays and feeling a bit homesick.
-He will be checking in with CR and making sure people are okay. Also, he did kind of put his powers on full display so if people want the shonen power explanation, he'll provide it.
-He's got a house now and is slowly trying to make it more his so if anyone wants to help with painting or other DIY tasks...please help him he's kinda pathetic.
-Definitely up for Mistletoe shenanigans (someone other than Kyoko-chan stealing Tsuna's first kiss? The scandal! Or fight him).
-I've kinda piled on the pranks and humiliation so we'll see if there's one more or he makes it through the night. Cat ears are fun though. But that long night might also be easier with a group text or something.
???: Gonna be slow towards the end of the month/new years.
