OOC Intro & Intense Event Plotting November 2024

[labyrinevents]

• OOC INTRO + EVENT PLANNING •

Welcome to the game, newbies! To our current dreamer crew, welcome to our next event! This post will act as an OOC intro for new players, a CR meme for everyone, and a place to make some plans for our next event which will go live on November 17th and end November 30th. Below you will see the CR meme form as well as a Event Outline for our upcoming event. As this month also contains a 4th wall element, I have also included a section to explain this element.

• 4th Wall •

Welcome to our 4th wall styled event! This event will be open to anyone on dreamwidth to participate in, though mods will have the final say. 4th wall characters, or "visitors" will appear throughout the city of Somnius upon the start of the event. Upon the conclusion, all Visitors will be gone. Perhaps temporarily should our 4th wall friends decide to apply in January or another time! 4TH Wall Participation Rules and Requirements

• No Doubles. If a character is already in game, another version cannot be played as a 4th wall "Visitor".
• CRAU & AU are both allowed (with the exception of doubles)
• Our One Month rule stands for playable content. A canon/chapter/episode/etc must have been released for one month as of the beginning of the event to be eligible for play.
• Players intending to 4th wall MUST post a plotting comment and link it in our Visitor directory.
• Players who do not want to post a top level simply need to fill out a comment under the Visitor directory with their Name and Contact Information. Their header should be the character they intend to play and the canon.
• Current players may also play 4th wall characters. There is no limit to how many characters one can play in the event.

• Event Outline •

Visitors Arrive

• Cracks and tears in Vaeros’ barrier appear and mysterious Visitors appear all over the city of Somnius
• Other than the mysterious arrival of these Visitors nothing really seems awry, though Visitors that arrive in this manner are easily identified by a gold cuff bracelet around their left wrist that cannot be removed by any means.
• Prompts included will facilitate interacting with the setting and locale while giving new players a chance to explore the setting as it is normally
• Visitors do not remember a contract with Vaeros or a wish being made. Curious.

Control Slips

• Over time, the setting starts to break and things stop working as they normally have
• Strange weather effects occur all over and at the same time. Blizzards, heavy rains, heatwaves.
• Night and Day begin to swap over and over again. Somtiemes it’s day for a few hours, then twilight and day again. There’s no rhyme or reason to it
• The chaos will bring visits from creatures previously fought by the dreamers including the shadow wolves, the fireys and the IRS.

  OOC Note: Linked TDM plotting posts are for reference of these mentioned creatures only.

• Cracks in the island form, spreading and causing ravines that seem to drop clear to inferna... These cracks will appear all over, including in Somnius but will not disturb places marked as homes.

Returning Magic

• Vaeros appears as an image in the sky, his face painted across the sunset sky and starry nights. He demands repayment if Dreamers wish to survive.
• Dreamers are given the option to go to the crystal and pray, returning rewards they have been given with earned shards to repower Vaeros.

  OOC NOTE: The rewards that can be sacrificed can ONLY be powers or high stakes items that facilitate character abilities. Regains to housing, mundane items and similar are not valid. Anything that is voluntarily sacrificed during this event will be returned at a later time via another event and cannot be regained with shards in the meantime.

• Dreamers that sacrifice these regain will temporarily be granted an extra potion power during the event that can be utilized at full power to help others in their efforts to save Visium.

Working Together

• Natives are the key to relieving the issues throughout Visium in the meantime. They are highly keen to encourage interaction between Dreamers and Visitors
• Interacting and working together in groups mixed with Visitors and Dreamers will soothe issues and heal ravines/cracks in the ground.
• Natives have set up tasks to facilitate this, sending visitors and dreamers across Visium to complete quests.
• By the time the event is scheduled to close and enough magic is returned to Vaeros to control his land, visitors begin to flicker and disappear. They leave behind their gold bracelets.

Webby Vanderquack | Ducktales 2017

[woo_oo]

Character Name: Webby Vanderquack
Canon: Ducktales 2017
Character Age: 13-ish in canon, 14-ish in game
General Info: Was raised all her life by a Super Spy Granny, and as a result has expert-level knowledge on weaponry, espionage, languages, combat, etc.
- Unfortunately Super Spy Granny did NOT let her leave the mansion (except for training) and as such her social skills really suck.
- But once she bonded with the world's richest duck and his nephews, she was allowed to join them on dangerous adventures around the world!
- She's super cheerful, friendly, and wants to learn all about you and everything! She wants to be friends with absolutely everyone!
- But she can also get SUPER INTENSE about mundane things and is aware she's not normal
- Serious abandonment/clingy issues, desperate to have/keep friends
- Loves action/adventure, can kick duck-tails and take duck-names

Housing Plans: Lives in Shitling Manor with Vil, Lyney, Idia, and Cater. Can be spotted around the manor helping with the garden or training in combat/weaponry.

Desired CR: Open for anything and everything!

Initial Plans: Webby has returned from Canon Update and is now back to her cheerful, adventure-loving self again! While she's decided she's no longer a Knight of Somnius, she'll still go on patrols with her armor and sword. She's got a lot of catching up to do with the game's plot, and with everyone in general, since she missed out due running away/knocked out/shutting herself off from the world.

Event Plans: I don't think I'll bring anyone to 4th wall, but I'd be happy to toss her at folks if they want her.

She'll be hesitant at first to give up all she's earned, since who can really trust Vaeros? But she can be talked into giving EVERYTHING up to save her loved ones.

Anything else: She recently made a network post about her return from canon!

I feel like our girls need to meet. Nao here falls into the camp of teenagers who are aware they are not quite normal, missed out on many 'normal' milestones, and can be intense about mundane things... and could use some friends although it can take her a bit to form more than superficial relationships.

If you're game, I can hit up Webby's network post? Let me know!

[woo_oo]

Sure thing! Let's be weird girls together!

[nterwebz]

Awesome! I'll tag your network post prooobably tomorrow as I'm about to run to work and we can go from there!

[woo_oo]

take your time, no need to rush!

Asterios / Berserker - Fate : Grand Order

[beefaroni]

Character Name: Asterios
Canon: Fate Grand Order
Character Age: Unknown, but a full grown adult.
General Info: The Minotaur from Greek Mythology!

Half bull, half human, fully broken. He was never given any education/love, his only source of food was humans trapped in with him, and he died without knowing freedom. As such, his speech is very stilted and he often seems to have the mind of a child and his emotions are usually either "nothing" or "angry". Watch out for Angry, he's a Berserker for a reason.

That said, he's actually a very kind person who likes animals and nature. While he enjoys a good fight, he doesn't actually want to go out and slaughter anyone - the deaths of the folks he ate still haunts him, as he feels he should have starved to death instead of killing them. He's a gentle giant, who will defend you with his life if you're kind to him.

Housing Plans: Homeless currently! Still living in the woods until someone convinces him otherwise. Unfortunately, it's going to need a LOT of convincing.

Desired CR: Open for anything and everything! He does need friends, but he's reluctant to make them, as he feels he's just a bomb waiting to go off.

Initial Plans: At the moment, he's telling everyone his "name" is Berserker. While the actual name of the Minotaur isn't too widely known, he doesn't want to risk it and become instantly hated/feared, as he assumes would be the case. But one day, it's all gotta come out.
