June Event Plotting

june event 4.0 plotting


MAY CHOICE RESULTS: FEEEEEELINGS

Based on the results of everyone’s last Choice, Emotional Healing was prioritized. The past storms that have rocked Avis Isle had left their mark, but with the fundraising efforts of hanami bingo, substantial repairs have been completed! Overall, there was a focus on emotional healing; the morale around town is at an all-time high, there are sales at every kiosk, and a bonus status effect of Spring Cheer is granted to all adventurers: mana exchange is extra effective this month, and you might find yourself a little touchy-feely. For good reason! In addition to generating mana, skin-to-skin contact will cause characters to feel emotionally healed somewhat as well. Take some time to recover from those inner wounds.

Meanwhile, structural healing was the least prioritized, meaning buildings around town are in less than spectacular condition. Watch your step, because those stairs you're on might collapse – and it looks like even Dodo House is feeling these ill effects! Rooms are leaking, food is less readily available, some sheets are weirdly itchy, your bed might break, and the walls between your suites may just degrade and collapse without notice… oops? Any major inconvenience you might imagine from a creaky home is fair game!

LIMITED EVENT REWARDS:

  • As detailed in last month’s event, everyone who partook in Hanami Bingo received a special token which grants mastery over one power of any element.


  • ON & OFF WORLD: A LITTLE GLITCHY

    That said, not all seems to be well in paradise. Those who have been in Duocaeli for a little longer might begin to notice that the aches and pains of all your ON world traveling seem to linger with you even as you begin to enter the OFF world. For those who get into more serious scrapes, injuries also seem to linger, less grievous but still present. There’s no simple escape any longer.

    In the ON world, Avisle's storm has fully cleared as of last month, but something lingers in its usually beautiful skies. Not enough to obstruct trade, not quite, though those steering their airships in may grumble a bit about the turbulence. Ash flutters in the air, clouds are replaced with dark plumes of smoke; it gets harder to breathe in a game where that shouldn't matter, and there's a strangely luminescent sheen in the sky, like the scales of a beast.

    In the OFF world, there are smoke warnings… even when Crane City is set upon an island, it seems the air from distant lands is rolling in. If you look out into the gray sky and seas, they shimmer with an unknown something slithering within the misty smoke and water. Occasionally, something will break above the surface–two golden, serpent-like eyes, watching. Waiting.

    > june choice

    Every now and then, a glitch will activate–and those who are on the edges of the map, whether that be ON or OFF, will catch a glimpse of something swapping.

    The Serpent has a request to make. Catch a glimpse of those you miss, or protect those you barely know in front of you?

    The Choice is Yours. Players must submit their Choice to this toplevel by Friday, June 30th at 8:55 PM PST/11:55 PM EST. For a Choice to count for IC consequences and rewards, players must submit a thread of at least 3 comments interacting with the Event Domain.


    ON WORLD: WARS YOUR GUILDS

    Every year, the Guilds of Duocaeli have a friendly competition for bragging rights (and prizes)–will you tackle it with brute force Warriors Style, fashion a new invention a la Crafters, or try think your way through like the Scholars? Better put your heads together with your fellow Guildees and see what you can do!

    While there are various components to earn points in Guild Wars, the biggest one is helping a family of golems, where players will be able to submit ideas on ways to assist them. Some small cross-Guild collaboration can be encouraged, but be warned - the reward will be halved if more than one Guild member tosses in an idea!

    Guild Wars Submissions can be entered here! Same deadline as Event Choice: Friday, June 30th at 8:55 PM PST/11:55 PM EST.

    OOC Note: Due to the current distribution of characters, the Wanderer + Mender Guilds will be combined (Golden Pigeon), and the Warriors + Scholars Guilds as well (Silvergoose).

    Character Name: Millions Knives
    Canon: Trigun Stampede
    AU Plotting Post Link: Right here, and I'm always open to plotting out more stuff with anyone who's interested!
    Plans:
    - Knives will be all in on the Guilds Wars stuff because he's not about to lose in a situation like this if he has anything to say about it. He is part of the Warriors guild, so he'll be willing to team up with anyone in that guild or any of the Scholars to get tasks done. This includes the gemwalker reunion (he would gravitate toward the Windhaven Woodlands task), exploration stuff (the starstuff crater would be particularly fun since he has the light element affinity and will therefore feel NOT GREAT), and so on. I am down to team up for flora/fauna creation as well!

    - Also wanting to do the dungeon crawl! While Vash and Knives will be going together because we want to make their lives awful, we'd love to have a third member if anyone can tolerate these two disaster twins. I would promise that they'll be well-behaved but that would be a lie.

    - I am up for any and all shenanigans around Dodo House with stuff not functioning or falling apart, etc. SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

    - The whole mana transfer thing and feeling touchy feely is hilarious. Knives needs emotional healing, lbr, but it's not like he would ask for it. If he finds himself accidentally touching someone's shoulder or something, he'll be horrified. Good times.

    hello I request another thread with court please

    Perhaps some guild wars cooperation?
    chlorokyll: (pic#16418732)

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
    YES they can totally team up for guild stuff! Maybe we can have them work on the gemwalker reunion together?
    verselet: (Default)

    [personal profile] verselet 2023-06-05 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yessss that sounds great. We can do some brainstormin’ 8)

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    excited for this team-up!! hopefully they don't put the gemwalkers into too much korok-like distress

    [personal profile] verselet 2023-06-05 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
    V is definitely the zelda gamer who is strapping koroks to rockets and then sending them off with a prayer

    so yeah,

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    this will be fine........ probably

    it'd be funny if knives is the one who's trying to be careful because he wants to WIN THE TASK. but also this is about ingenuity so they'll need to put their heads together on it
    verselet: (28)

    [personal profile] verselet 2023-06-05 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
    time to use some of the magic at their disposal?

    if nothing else, they both have plenty of sharp objects to pop the bloobettes like a chu chu... i mean, catch them delicately
    chlorokyll: (pic#16418779)

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
    knives does have at least one spell he'll need to learn how to use and this will surely be the best time 8)

    NOPE, def gonna pop them. it'll be fine, probably

    I have it on good authority (starts with J and ends with ena) that I should run here fastly for some tasty CR, so I've come running as fast as my short legs will carry me except help I play a normal human who's not even on the same side of Guild Wars. He'd try to help in terms of touch and exploration, though? (Roland is dark-aligned and pretty tolerant.) While I cry for these twins to please love each other. Knives makes me sad . . . "What about Vash?" This isn't Vash's TL. I'm sorry that this comment is so unhinged.
    chlorokyll: (pic#16397275)

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
    GASP... I've been meaning to hit you up!! I have heard great things as well. I will one day get around to playing Triangle Strategy... maybe... but Roland seems like such a good boy who does not deserve this disaster of a Plant. AND YET--

    Knives also makes me sad, shhhh don't tell anyone. We could potentially have them also run into each other while the Dodo House is in a state of disrepair and have shenanigans there? Or have one/both of them worrying about how online injuries are somewhat transferring to offline? Knives will be bad about accepting touch/mana transfer unless he's in a bad way but we might be able to figure something out.
    duskspear: (Default)

    [personal profile] duskspear 2023-06-05 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh, no, we've been talked about. 🫣 And Roland is married to disaster, so it's fine. It's all fine!

    Isn't Knives always in a bad way—okay, no, I won't shove discount Vash's hand in his. Let Knives' heart rest. Dodo shenanigans sound good! Imagine if Knives just wants peace by playing the piano whose key pops out and stabs him in the eye . . . How tragic would that be . . .
    chlorokyll: (pic#16418734)

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
    WAIT, discount Vash? Tell me more.........

    LMAO, he would be so sad if the piano starts to betray him. This is literally all he has, Dodo House, you can't do this to him!!

    ALSO I see you have a top-level already, did you want me to just wildcard into it?
    duskspear: (Default)

    [personal profile] duskspear 2023-06-05 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
    LKASDJ he's got sprinkles of Wolfwood's pragmatism but Roland's prevailing characteristics are his kindness and how he'll always choose to sacrifice himself for the majority who shun him with a history of running away from the sting of their rejection. Also has family drama and blames himself for everything that has ever gone wrong in his life.

    But that's so sad, Knives. I'm in tears. May your piano outlive everyone in Dodo house . . .

    And sure, if that works best for you! I open my hands wide for the wild disaster waiting to happen.

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
    oh my god roland. yeah that sounds like vash all right. you also forgot the most important thing: blond.

    YEAH THAT WORKS FOR ME i'll try to get to it soon eheheh 8) i'm so sorry in advance

    onlypets: (pic#16412696)

    [personal profile] onlypets 2023-06-05 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
    you're fine, don't apologize!! GRIPS YOUR HANDS i forced you to quest last time so this time we can do something low-key. they can frown about the state of the dodo house... and the weird sky and sea.

    or ig touch i'm not forcing you to touch necessarily but if you wanted more on world stuff.
    chlorokyll: (pic#16418734)

    [personal profile] chlorokyll 2023-06-05 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
    frowning about the dodo house and the general state of things would be good, i think! especially since we need them to have a proper chat about their shared au memories even though knives will turn his nose up at it

    who wants to touch this awful man, lbr
    onlypets: (pic#16412676)

    [personal profile] onlypets 2023-06-05 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
    pal, so many people want to touch knives WHEN YOU ARE SO HOT BUT YOUR PERSONALITY IS BAD

    knives, their au mems... don't be this way. this is good with me!! knives is going to snap him over a thigh for being teased about the memories. i will come back here with a starter from the catchall log im gonna make
