JANUARY HAPPENINGS

JANUARY EVENT QUEST IN THE CAVES Concerned by the corruption and what it could mean in the spring if it’s left unchecked, Aldrip’s blacksmiths and miners offer their help more freely than they would if not for impending catastrophe. They offer to attach those glowing rocks to weapons, farming equipment, and other tools. They may even make cuffs, anklets, or other adornments that can keep the corruption at bay within a person’s body. So get to the caves and grab some! Once characters have these upgraded tools in hand, they’ll find that when working together, they seem to remove the corruption quickly enough that it doesn’t come back. The sky is the limit for what artisans and blacksmiths are willing to make, in this case, so please feel free to get creative when coming up with solutions. FROM THE SEA Stay around this corruption long enough and characters will notice that it seems like these wispy lines of corruption seem to lead somewhere. Those Chosen who follow the path will find themselves at the coast. This trip is not without its perils: the monsters that have been affected around town continue to be aggressive, attacking characters and, unfortunately, spreading more of this problem affliction with the slightest bite or scratch. Arriving at the coast, characters will find that the monster from November’s event is back and ready for its next meal. This close to land, it seems slightly less dangerous, but what’s more interesting is that the weapons infused with gems from the cave seem to do extra damage to it. Upon closer inspection, this creature, too, is affected by the corruption, its body streaked with it. As characters make contact using the gems, this corruption once again subsides DAMAGE CONTROL Aldrip has its own share of troubles during this time. Characters who prefer to stay close to home could find themselves charged with creating barriers to keep out octopus monsters that come closer and closer to town, seeking to take people to their giant hungry sea monster friend. With buildings and structures in danger from the rot, characters may also want to collect and use more of the gems from the cave in order to prevent further structural decay–or they might quickly need to help someone evacuate from a building too far gone and crumbling. There will also be plenty of people and crops that need healing from this corruption.aw

If you need a villain, I have one! Silco is definitely looking for teenage boys, so he's working his way through the lot vetting them to see who might be worthwhile recruiting.

Given how much of the game already think he's sus and evil thanks to a castmate (and let's be real, look at him), it would throw him for a loop to meet someone who will try to see him in a different light. Also, thanks, he'll hate it.

[heir_conditioned]

I'm always happy to thread with villains, happy do-gooders or whatever the like. It's not that he won't be a little on the cautious side at times, especially if that 'vibe' is given out, but he has no room to talk when it comes to the way he has to view villains to keep things vague. Less broad stroke, more individual person and what are they doing if that helps.

I'm gonna be honest, dealing with Shoto is always 'Thanks, I hate it'. I'll be happy to slap on in to anything you've got open now/in the future, just let me know or hopefully within the next week (thanks work) I will be able to get all my catchalls up!

[conflictresolution]

Oh yes, that's fine by me. I do think they will have interesting conversations, since heroes aren't a thing in Silco's world per say as everyone is just a shade of gray.

Yeah, I don't have anything open right now, but I definitely want them to meet!

Also, I forgot to mention it in my first comment, but your journal name is amazing

[heir_conditioned]

Oh no, get him talking about heroes and the poor guy'll never be rid of him. If you use plurk feel free to add me. Then I can keep an eye out, too. I'm not always social media savvy but I try lol!

e3r45ftgytfr5d4e Thank you that is a kind compliment and I appreciate it greatly ♥.

[conflictresolution]

Oh god, you're going to make this old man regret his life choices with all the gushing about heroes. He already associates with one kid that gushes at him daily.

Your plurk name made me squeal a little. S-C-I-E-N-C-E! Does someone else have the b-lymphocytes name?

[heir_conditioned]

Haha! Yeah Shoto is pretty friendly and help-people oriented. Now adays at least. So it'll be fun to navigate that, that's for sure.

er4dftgy lmao! You knew! Not many people do. Re: B, no I don't think so at least! I'm all alone in my nerdism name wise.

[conflictresolution]

Gross. Silco does love to hear the sound of his own voice, but he also likes to let other people talk so he can figure out what makes them tick to use it against them later.....

White blood cells and immune system stuff for the win! You win the internet for me!

[heir_conditioned]

#just villain things
Jokes aside no I totally love that, we'll have to have them have a nice long conversation about whatever comes up!

3erw4itfg Thank you!! ♥♥

[conflictresolution]

Villains gonna villain! Silco has to do community service this month, so maybe they can meet up while he's doing that!

[heir_conditioned]

That's actually not a bad idea, even if Shoto isn't directly involved in the community service that wouldn't stop him from stopping to talk to people doing that service. Or help lol.
