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! Also, the TDM will be posted in the log comm with old and new characters alike able to top-level on it.
The SOTG for February is here, with changes and where the game is going for the month.
FEBRUARY HAPPENINGS

IT'S... A PARTY? FEBRUARY TDM
Festive preparations
As a show of good faith to the Ketsoran delegation, Aldrip's locals hastily turn the events center into an elegant reception hall. Apparently it's Ketsoran tradition: visitors to your city should be welcomed with a lavish party--the more days and expenses paid, the better. Aldrip is determined to make this party generous and decadent enough to appease their neighbors to the south. There's a long, long list of things to do in preparation--not just setting up for this party, but rebuilding and cleaning up damages left behind from January's events. Between February 5 and February 12, Chosen may be asked, volunteered, or guilted into helping get this party set up. They may be asked to run errands between businesses, decorate the events center, prepare food, learn how to play music and perform (or some other talent of their choosing. jokes? juggling? anyone?)...the sky (and your imagination) is the limit.
A masked affair
Another Ketsoran tradition: masks and formal attire will both be required to attend this party--and it is very important that the Chosen attend this party, since one of their own was responsible for the tension. Tailors and seamstresses will be adamant about making sure the Chosen are clothed immaculately in formal wear, though they can be talked into various styles, colors, and aesthetics, so long as they can be convinced that the Ketsorans will be pleased. Characters found avoiding the party can easily be cajoled into attending. The locals are being pretty forceful about this.
A night at the ball
The party will go on for several days, with drinking, dancing, and good food. Effects going throughout the month (for example, Missile Toads II: The Electric Boogaloo) will still be up for play here. Partygoers will also be able to sign up for a Dance Card. Be warned, though: those who sign up for this dance card will find themselves missing a handful of things (of your choosing) such as memories, physical/mental traits, abilities, or items. The only way to get these things back is by completing the dance card--meaning, dancing with others throughout the week and getting their names on those cards.

Contact: chirality @ plurk, whiskeyqueer @ discord
Character: Toph Beifong
Canon: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Canon Point: Post-canon with some sequel comics
Crime: Swindling
Background/Personality: Toph is a sassy gremlin child. She is here to be your overpowered little sister who punches you into bettering yourself. Underneath that, she has a soft heart and despite pretending she doesn't care, she will absolutely help people out just because it's the right thing to do. She's also legitimately a great teacher of both martial arts and magical abilities, and will take it upon herself to school anyone who needs it.
Abilities: Toph is the most powerful earthbender in the world and maybe of all time. It's good for a wide range of things from fighting to construction to art. She can also metalbend and sandbend as extensions of earthbending. She can even do some rudimentary lie detecting when speaking with others, though it's not too difficult to fool if the person has good emotional control of their physical reactions. All that being said, she is still blind, and that carries some serious limitations. She can't track things in the air and she can't 'see' unless she actively has contact with solid ground.
Plans: Some random half-formed thoughts for February events!!
➤ Some effects from the toads -- ones I'm interested in effecting Toph include chattier/happier than normal, confusion, craving physical closeness, compulsion to serve others. I think I'll be a little picky about who I do these with because I don't want to repeat them too much, so I probably won't include this as an open prompt anywhere, but please hit me up to plot if you want to do one of these!
➤ Toph couldn't care less about dressing up so she is going to show up to the fancy party in her normal clothes, unmasked, unless someone convinces her otherwise. NO ONE TELLS HER WHAT TO DO!! ... Unless she likes you. Then you can tell her. Someone please help and potentially take advantage of her being blind to give her a sweet mask.
➤ She does like food and although she doesn't dance she isn't a party pooper. She'll just be hovering around at the festivities themselves. Maybe someone can talk her into doing an earthbending kata as a show.
How can you run into my character? Toph is still occasionally fighting monsters out in the wild and around town helping rebuild Aldrip here and there. She doesn't treat it like a full-time job but there's no doubt plenty to do. She also somehow signed up to be the Arztenritter's one-girl ambulance / emergency medical transport, so if your character ends up needing that she can meet them there. Besides that, she's a naturally curious person who gets bored easily, so it's pretty easy to have her poke her nose into something.
