Heyo, Expi! Merry Christmas/happy holidays! I am here today to pitch another player plot situation, this time courtesy of me and Jenni ([personal profile] traumaticus) AKA Miller & Richard. The gist is that Miller discovered there are mutants from his world afoot during the Dark Hour event (read: Expi fauna entry) and, frankly, that shit sucks!

More details... )

tl;dr Want to fight some scary mutants and/or join Aldrip defense squad? Or just be kidnapped by demons? Put your name below!

We'll be putting up a log on 12/28, but as always, backtagging will be highly encouraged! ♥ If you are interested in participating in any way, feel free to fill out this plotting form and chat below. c: Not required for participation though. You can also just tag in and see where the wind takes you. (Also p.s. you can still comment here after the 28th, we are being loosey goosey with this thing.)

Hello everyone! It's Jenni, the local medieval monarch-player here.

Not too long ago Richard put up another call for action post up, proposing that The Chosen get properly organized and would form their own defense squad to keep the city safe! There's already been support from IC side of thing so I thought why not put up a proper OOC plotting post.

AKA. I wanna do a thing and don't know how, lmao.

So, this post serves two purposes: character signups and OOC Plotting on how to actually bring this into reality on practical level. Cuz I'm dumb and do not want to call the shots. Also honestly, if you leave this up for Richard he would probably try to make Aldrip a medieval fortress. Basically, the agenda currently consist of the following problems 1) How to come together as an organization 2) How to strengthen the defenses around the city. 3) Alternative communication methods that does not rely on Tablets.

Currently the ongoing ideas are:

- forming a patrol & recon groups to go around the city & forest and other surrounding areas. (tho if character wants to go alone that's good too)
- build signal fire stations (can you tell that this is Richard's)
- look into more supernatural solutions to fix the issues with communication (telepathy, magical soul resonance etc).


This player plot is not only for fighters or military people only! All kinds of talents & ideas & skills are welcomed. So nerds, pacifists, diplomats, anarchists, healers and indescribable.. I am pspspsps'ing at you.



Also wildcard option.... this is pretty wild but! Richard has had some IC discussions with couple of people about The Chosen potentially forming a council of their own, where they would vote for representatives etc etc. IDK, this is very much in idea level but I guess I am asking what ppl think of this kind of player plot?

Hello Expi! Look at your calendars and despair─ somehow, December has returned! And with it...



Just like last year, Mitama will be hosting a Secret Santa event! How does it work? Simple, you can comment under the sign-ups thread on this post! They will be open until Sunday, December 8th, after which I will RNG the characters into pairs and inform the players of the gift-givers of their targets! ICly, they will be expected to present (see what I did there) their randomized recipient with a gift around December 25th, but naturally, players can forward- or backdate it as needed!

On the IC front, Mitama will a network post sometime later today (?) to announce the event! After sign-ups close, she'll drop a note on each participant's inbox to announce their gift recipient. Then it's all up to you! Plot, consult ICly with friends and family, pick through the ugliest Christmas sweaters in existence for inspiration, and spread joy and happiness!


tl;dr schedule
12/1 - OOC sign-ups open
12/1 - IC announcement of the event/IC sign-ups open
12/8 - sign-ups close
12/9 - Mitama informs participants of the gift recipients
12/25 - participants give gifts to the recipients (can be forward- or backdated as needed)


I'm in! Tell me again how it works?
Just comment below under the sign-ups thread! The OOC sign-ups are what's gonna be taken into consideration, so there's no need to thread it out on the announcement post, but of course it can be done, too.


I wanna participate, but my character wouldn't willingly sign up...
Fear not, for there's a very simple solution to this! It being that... Mitama could simply add them to her list for the lulz. And if they try to refuse to participate after that, she will gently convince/threaten/blackmail them into behaving properly. So feel free to sign up anyway and the ever reliable Miss Coordinator will take care of the rest!


What if there's an odd number of participants? Will everyone get a pair?
They absolutely will! I'll hold off on signing my characters up, and will add them in case we have an odd number and need one more person to make it even, so no worries there!


I still have more questions!
Feel free to ask them under this post or contact me on [plurk.com profile] psychelocks or psychelocks @ discord!

Hi, expi! As I'm sure many of you know by now, there has been an IC discussion going on re: forming several groups to go seeking out the terminals. Root ([personal profile] computation) suggested to Miller that he take charge of organizing these groups while she would work on organizing the technical side. They are specifically interested in doing the reset after making a backup of the current system. So, just making this post to let the plotting commence!

Obviously this is a player organized sitch, so please feel free to ignore and it and completely do your own thing if that works better for you!

But for those who are interested, here's the basic rundown right now:

Hello all!!

Richard just posted A Call For Action on network, hoping to organize The Chosen a bit in form of Group Training. So basically a boot(y) camp! The idea would be to have characters with any combat or otherwise fighting experience to pass down their knowledge and teach less battle-oriented characters!

How would this go down in practice? Well, basically I'll be putting up a Mingle Log in the beginning of September so that we can get newbies involved with a top level for each activity (swords, guns, magic, first aid, etc). The purpose of this OOC post is to gather interest and small/unofficial sign up for characters that would be up for teaching.

EDIT: The current line-up:

Spiritual training/magic: Kurama, Douman, Kakashi
First-aid: Ethlyn, Morph, Bones
Rescue training: Morph, Bones
Hand-to-hand combat: Jirk, Kakashi
Tech support: Jirk
Lunch: Junpei
Fire arms: Caitlyn, Levi
Swords & Melee: Richard, Hiei
Archery: Richard
Survival skills: Richard, Kurama
Military training: Jirk, Miller, Richard
Endurance training: Bones


 
The mingle log will go up on 9th of September so there's still plenty of time for plotting! The log itself will follow a structure where I post a very generic TL for each activity, listing who is responsible teaching there etc. Characters then can post their own TLS all across the mingle (open or closed), they can be under the activities or just general OTAs. o/

Hello Everyone!

So, Tsuna is getting sentenced this month (always a fun time) and as a part of that, he has to prove he's doing good by leading something. And well, niggling in the back of his mind is the desert. We haven't been there in a while. Which means it seems like a good time to take a wander back there and maybe figure out the mystery of Tresed.

Or just have fun in the sand fighting monsters. Or both. Whatever happens first.

Anyway, this is an OOC interest check for anyone who might be interested in accompanying Tsuna. Altruistic goals not needed, but Tsuna might have something to say.

For a timeline, I will probably throw up an IC interest check towards the end of this week, and then probably a mingle log next week and we will go from there. That's kind of the bare bones of it but hopefully we can start fleshing things out.

So, if there are any questions, feel free to ask them here or you can PM me or hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] urbaninja

This is the previous event that took us into the desert. Some info may be dated but all the more reason for a second look.

Thanks!

Hi friends!

The Enterprise's indoor cat has escaped containment and no one told him that he's being an idiot or biting their nails over his escapades, so he's decided to take a very close look at the computational systems here (like, very close) and has said:



He has found out a few. Uh. Things? About them. Yes. What he will willingly disclose is that he is very much not interested in using these tablet phones distributed by their captors and so, he has decided to make his own. If you don't have privacy, store bought is fine.

This is where anyone who is particularly interested in getting in on this will come in:

Here's the details. )

Hello everyone! It's Lycoris, once again bringing you an excuse to be silly and get your characters dragged into Mitama's shenanigans!

Considering the recent events (and given how blood-thirsty y'all are being smh), Mitama has decided the Chosen are in a dire need of some levity. And since Valentine's Day is almost here and they were all invited to a fancy party, what's better way to celebrate it all but with...



It's exactly what it says on the tin! Characters who sign up (or get signed up, wink wink) will be up for auction and whoever pays the price will get to go on a date with them, oh my! For the sake of keeping things simple, this post will serve as OOC sign-ups, as well as claims for those who want to place a bid, and the auction itself will be handwaved so you can jump straight into the dating part. If the player is down for that, they can accept multiple winners and go on multiple dates! In fact, Mitama herself will encourage it because it's all for a good cause: all money from the event will be donated to the efforts to rebuild Aldrip!

And if you'd like some more randomness in your life, there's also an option for that, too! Anyone who's interested in bidding for a ~mystery date~ can do so by commenting below, and on next Monday, February 12th I'll RNG their partners!

So, without further ado...!

tl;dr schedule
2/7 - OOC sign-ups open
2/9 - IC announcement
2/11 - ICly, that's when the auction will take place; OOCly, sign-ups close*
2/12 - RNG for those who bid for a ~mystery date~
rest of the month? - go on dates, partner it up for the party, form new bonds? PROFIT

*OOC sign-ups closing will only affect the RNG part; players are free to continue to plot and assume their characters participated if need be, of course!


I'm in! Tell me again how it works?
For those who wish to offer themselves for the auction, please comment under the "DATE AUCTION SIGN-UPS" thread using the provided form! For those who want to bid on ~mystery date~, please comment under the "MYSTERY BID SIGN-UPS". Feel free to use this post for plotting purposes! Also, it would be helpful if the established winners of the auctions commented under the person they're bidding for, just for my reference when I get to RNG part.


I wanna participate, but my character wouldn't willingly sign up.
As always, your friendly neighbourhood magical girl extraordinaire is here to help! Mitama is happy to sign people up without their knowledge/consent and then bully─ I mean, lovingly convince them to participate later ♥ Alternatively, she will also accept people signing up their friends (or enemies?!), because at the end of the day, the more, the merrier, and she's not gonna sweat about the details of how they made it to her list of victims participants.



I still have more questions!

Feel free to ask them under this post or contact me @ [plurk.com profile] psychelocks or psychelocks on discord!

[personal profile] baldrshand
So what with the mysterious black rot creeping up people's bodies and turning them violent and everything, Ethlyn is going to be working overtime searching for a cure!! Thankfully, there there is one to be had, but it's going to take some trial and error to devise.

To that end, Ethlyn is going to be looking for both help from anyone with medicinal knowledge and also test subjects for compounds and will be making this known with flyers around town etc. If you're interested in your character being one of the testers, please reply with what you want to happen:

  1. Nothing really (bad or good)
  2. Helpful to some degree (alleviating symptoms, slowing the progress)
  3. oops we made it worse


Also let me know if you would like to handwave or thread out these encounters with medical experimentation! She's going to be trying both plants and the glowy crystals. Once she figures out the right mixture, she'll announce it to the network and make the cure free to anyone who needs it.

(Follow-up from previous event and also recent State of the Game.)

Hello all! I hope you've all had a pleasant holiday period. I'm gathering volunteers to help with William's plan to take down the monster that's been threatening Rumpitur. So far there's been a few IC offers to help but in light of the recent SOTG it may be good to coordinate general efforts.

Helpers so far:
Jinx [personal profile] opheliac - offering to help bomb the beast to hell and back (and cook whatever remains)
Shoto Todoroki [personal profile] heir_conditioned - fighter (fire and ice)
Erichthonios [personal profile] beshackled - helping study the taint ahead of the fight
Elidibus [personal profile] heartofsalvation - helping analyse the creatures
Toph [personal profile] fieldtrip - pummelling things with ROCKS
Dazai [personal profile] nullificates - strategy coordinator
Levi [personal profile] solitarysoul - marksman/sharpshooter
Ragna [personal profile] rebellions - wildcard
Ethlyn [personal profile] baldrshand - first aid/medic
Marianne [personal profile] snowslip - first aid/medic + offensive caster
Shinjiro [personal profile] drugsnotclubs - melee/tank
Yu [personal profile] izanagis - summon fighter
Yuja [personal profile] likethestars - all-rounder
Ryoji [personal profile] thanatoast - backline fighter/supporter
Yosuke [personal profile] garbagecanned - summon fighter
Med'an [personal profile] breakin_ur_lore - all-rounder
Kotone [personal profile] orphne - summon fighter (minor healer)
Bakugou [personal profile] detonating - bomber + aerial strategist(?)
Kotetsu "Tiger" [personal profile] earnedmystripes - fighter
Dara [personal profile] cursegod - support (maintaining barrier around Rumpitur farmland)
Vash [personal profile] skelters - sharpshooter, NON-fighter (rescuing others)
Izuku [personal profile] heroondecku - fighter

Please let me know if you've changed your mind about the above - and if anyone else would like to offer their support then that is welcome too! William will be very open about his taking the lead in the fighting to set an example. He'll also be screening to make sure no-one joins the fight that would actively try to harm others through doing so.

(That said, if anyone would ICly sabotage his efforts in some other way they're welcome to get in touch so we can discuss things.)

Hello Expi! Lycoris here, bringing some levity in the form of a player plot after all that trauma the characters have suffered lately; that's right, it's time for...



Given all the despair the Chosen have dealt with, Mitama is hoping to bring some holidays cheer and a little hope into their little community, so she will be hosting a Secret Santa event! How does it work? Simple, you can comment under the sign-ups thread on this post! They will be open until Sunday, December 10th, after which I will RNG the characters into pairs and inform the players of the gift-givers of their targets! ICly, they will be expected to present (see what I did there) their randomized recipient with a gift around December 25th, but naturally, players can forward- or backdate it as needed!

On the IC front, Mitama will a network post sometime in the first week of December (after we're all done dying and such) to announce the event! After sign-ups close, she'll drop a note on each participant's inbox to announce their gift recipient. Then it's all up to you! Plot, consult ICly with friends and family, pick through the ugliest Christmas sweaters in existence for inspiration, and spread joy and happiness!

Hi all! Due to the previous monster attack that's left Aldrip in disrepair, Claude ([personal profile] feintofhart) and Marianne ([personal profile] snowslip) are leading efforts to secure resources (think non-perishable food, medicine, weapons, etc.) with the goal of preparing the town for future emergencies. Below are the activities they're planning and they're looking for assistance from the Chosen because it will take a group effort to bring it all together!

This will be a plotting post for those interested in getting involved. Come help out the community and build that sweet CR in the process! We have an open log HERE for the event.


Diplomacy with Rumpitur
Travel to Rumpitur and negotiate with locals for resources, either as a goodwill donation or in exchange for labor/craftsmanship your muse can offer. This excursion will involve Chosen traveling through the haunted(?) Pessiria Forest and camping on the outskirts of Rumpitur overnight.


Land Restoration
Farmland and forests were razed in the monster attack. Help to restore fields around Aldrip by irrigating the land, planting crops, rebuilding farms, and tending to displaced animals. Dress for the weather - it'll be hot with the occasional summer rainstorm.


Shoring up Storehouses
Dig out safehouses and cellars to serve as evacuation areas and storage for emergency supplies. Dry meat, pickle vegetables, and solicit weapons from merchants in town to stockpile. Training areas have been set up for Chosen looking also to shore up their fighting ability.

INTRO / CR MEME

Welcome to Expiation, home of the big bucks and no whammies! We're thrilled to have you here, new and old players alike. Please note that this intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.

As a reminder, Expiation runs on bi-monthly events. Please note that all characters accepted in June are exempt from the June AC. For everyone else, please submit your AC by June 30th, 2023. We will provide a warning list halfway through the day (eastern time) on both the OOC community and the moderator plurk. If you need to take a hiatus or have extenuating circumstances, reach out to the moderator team via DM, our feedback page, or plurk. We're some pretty understanding people! Real life sometimes slaps all of us around, after all.

As a kind reminder for people who are using backdated threads as proofs, we are counting the number of comments from June. Please make sure your counts are correct. We will sweep anyone who fails to meet AC due to miscounted comments.

For our new players, we encourage you to read the Premise and End Game section of our April 2023 State of the Game, as it includes behind-the-scenes information for players. There's also a wide array of other information on that entry available for the curious. (You can also check out the tag and read the bottom section for interesting lore / world building questions that have been forwarded to the team since the game's opening.)

To give you a general idea of how the upcoming timeline will be...

- Sometime this week, we'll have sign ups for the Sentencing mechanic. The short description is that we will be taking sign ups from interested parties. The sign up post will contain (hopefully) all of the information you might need as players to make an informed decision about whether you want to be involved or not. From the interested parties, a select number will be chosen via RNG, and those characters will be assigned a task that they will have a specific amount of time to complete. Successful completion will result in characters obtaining some kind of information pertinent to overarching game story line in some way (consider it may be a little more vague rather than directly in one's face). Characters who participate in this may also have their parchment crimes altered following successful or unsuccessful completion, depending on personal actions taken in the game thus far.

- Our next event isn't scheduled until later July 2023, but we can tell you that it's got something to do with those friendly little fairies who were giving people the power to grow plants at will. It might be worth fostering some good relations with them whilst the opportunity is there.

- We'll have a simple mingle available in late June / early July for newcomers and Chosen who've been around for a while as a means of getting to know people. Something likely light of heart to help offset some of the more serious themes we tend to explore in our events.

- The next state of the game will also take place in July, after the event, which will, as ever, include results of the event, changes made to the world, things we'd like to do in the future, things we're working on in the background, and more little curiosities for everyone.

- The next application cycle will be in early August 2023. The next TDM is scheduled for the end of July to pave the way for that app cycle.

EVENT #2 NOTES
EVENT NOTES:

OVERVIEW:
We warn ahead of time that some of the content in this event may be uncomfortable or disturbing. We especially would caution reading the 4th arrow below. We will mark it.

► This event is spurred by the Pessiria Forest disappearances and phenomena, observations of strange happenstance, and those now experiencing nightmares or visions from Event #1.

► People who have been plagued by nightmares and visions during Event #1 will have mysterious arcane, runic, and related marks (read: brands) appear on their body. The location is player choice and may be singular or multiple. Feel free to be creative in the details of their appearance (read: colour, size, and so on). Those marked will be subject to a variety of afflictions or situations—abductions (see our additional notes section), demonic or spiritual possession, mind control, a mysterious ability to cast elemental or blood magicks whether they normally can or can't, incoherent speech or perhaps no speech at all, and so on. (If you don't like any of those options and want to suggest others, please do so in the Moderator Team Comment below.)

► People who are not suffering from having visions or nightmares will be especially vulnerable to the new abilities and afflictions, specifically should those they know be under this condition. This could be due to bonds of friendship, familial, romantic, or any other kind of relationship. They do not need to be extraordinarily emotionally close to the afflicted for this to take effect. This means these people who are not afflicted will be more susceptible to mind control and will feel inclined to serve or defend their known party in question.

POTENTIALLY DISTURBING CONTENT. The missing NPCs from Event #1 will initially remain missing. In Pessiria Forest when travelling deep enough and guided by those who are marked, they will locate a bizarre clearing and a variety of stone monuments. Included amongst these strangely-shaped monuments, they will find tablets that contain writing in a [currently] undecipherable language (to be used in future events and eventually discovered). At the centre of this collection of monuments is a pit cave and upon travelling through this winding cave, the abducted NPCs will be found in a central cavernous room where they have been kept in terrible condition for gory experimentation and sacrifice.

► The abductions and strange phenomena of the forest, and presumably prior disappearances, is being controlled by a collective in mysterious robed garb with similar arcane and runic markings as those branded. The Chosen will not be able to fight them yet (see the additional notes section). Instead, they will conjure a creature eldritch in appearance with rock, crystal, and tree root traits.

► The people who are branded will be thralls to the creature should they be present at this combat. They will be compelled to protect the creature, requiring the attention to be divided between the creature in question and any branded who are protecting it. You can use this as an opportunity to fight the creature or to fight with your fellow Chosen.

► When the creature is in its last moments, the consequences of defeating it will cause it to flail its appendages, resulting in an imminent collapse of the pit cave's interior. People will need to help the branded, the unbranded, and the NPCs escape the pit cave before its total cave-in.



ADDITIONAL NOTES:
► We are putting a numerical cap on how many Chosen can be a part of the marked / afflicted. After all, if everyone is marked, then no-one can be saved and we need some heroes. We will accept 20 sign ups for this. This is not a first-come, first-served situation. We encourage all interested parties to volunteer their character and a week from today (April 26), we will RNG from everyone who has signed up.

Please note two things in relation to the above:
01. If you play multiple characters, only one is eligible to be drawn (unless for some reason we're short on volunteers).
02. As we would like to spread the opportunity for special signs up across all characters, please note that all characters who win this specific event sign up cannot be entered into the next event sign up that we have.

► Abduction options are also available for Chosen whose players may have extenuating circumstances that prevent them from being immediately involved, may be on hiatus at the time, or simply choose to have this option available to them. If chosen, players may have their characters be abducted for a few days at most (at which they would mysteriously find themselves back in Aldrip, unable to explain what happened, or how they got there). There is also an option to have them abducted through the entirety of the event as well. Whatever is most convenient for the player and their circumstance.

► The side effects from the branding / marks can be nullified when another person demonstrates an act of selflessness for the benefit of the afflicted. For instance, risking one's life for another's would qualify. Do not treat that as an exclusive option. It is only an example. It will not remove the mark itself, but it will remove the statuses that can be caused by the marking.

► Players may choose from multiple status effects if they have a branded character. They may also choose a singular status or ability that they would like to have. There are no limits here, save common courtesy and communication with your thread partners.

► The mysterious collective of sorcerers / magicians are not eligible for combat in this event. Anyone attempting to combat them will find that no abilities are capable of making contact. They will make a future return at some point involving the so-called defunct Tower of Narbeth, so expect to see them again.

► It is presumed that the Chosen will ultimately thwart the designs of the cave and the tree, root, crystal creature. It is also presumed that all Chosen will emerge from the cave-in alive. If your character should die for any reason, please contact us. Any injured Chosen can seek the assistance of local healers or the clerics in Aldrip.

► Those with brands will find that their marks will disappear within a few weeks after the event has started. If there are Chosen who, for some reason, wish to keep their marks, a Rumpiturian will pay visit to Aldrip around the time the brands begin to fade and offer to tattoo these markings permanently in exchange for town materials and supplies.

► The successful triumph over the cave creature and rescue of NPCs, in addition to getting to the bottom of the Pessiria Forest mystery and debunking some of the world's folklore, will merit rewards being given to the Chosen. (These rewards are still being considered, but will be addressed in the State of the Game in May, one week after the event has gone up.)

► We would like to give a reminder that just because there may not be a prompt for it, doesn't mean it's unacceptable. It is entirely feasible that someone would be inclined to take advantage of the chaos going on to otherwise cause more chaos, do some sleuthing around Aldrip, the forest, or whatever have you.

So after Ethlyn's pilot queries on the network w/r/t healing and riding skills, she's going to try and start up a little troupe of mobile healers based out of one of Aldrip's clinics! Anyone who has healing / medical knowhow, and/or the ability to ride a horse, is welcome to sign up. (Ethlyn is also happy to give lessons on first aid basics and riding, so if your character doesn't have any experience but wants to help, they can still join!) Per the mod query, this is something the locals would be happy with, although it won't be an official Aldrip civic thing.

She's going to dub it the 'Arztenritter' (roughly 'doctor-knight) in line with the various German-named knight troupes in Fire Emblem 4 (insert handwavey headcanon about it matching up to archaic Jugdrali language). I'll be posting an open log in a week or so for interested characters to mingle, compare knowledge, and get lessons. If you'd like to have your character join, please reply here with their skill level:
