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.

Ryn | Vash the Stampede & Momo Ayase [Visitors]

[kogalstyle]

Player Name and Pronouns: Ryn | They Them
Contact: kermitkin, discord @ resplendency

Momo Ayase | Dandadan | Visitor

[kogalstyle]

Character Name: Momo Ayase
Canon: Dandadan
Character Age: 16/17
General Info: Momo is from a wild ass fucking manga where both ghosts/spirits and aliens are like really real. Mega real. She's dealt with her friends getting possessed, one having his weiner stolen, being abducted by aliens and facing off a whole alien invasion as well. She also recently got sucked into a board game that was haunted by a ghost that sucked real people into the game and wouldn't let them out. Momo is a real outspoken bold girl who isn't afraid to take charge. She talks kind of rough, but is actually really sensitive but super bad at communicating her feelings, especially in matters of love. She's also got psychic powers that should come in handy during this event in particular!

Are you planning on applying in the future? Possibly! The outlook is unclear, but I want to see how Momo does in the setting.

Setting Interests: Everything! I was in Labyrinthum before and I'm your current head mod, so uh duh? For Momo specifically, I think she would be interested in the exploration and fighting elements, but I also really want her to make some friends while here too. Part of the manga that's pretty important is the build up of a really solid really wacky friend group. I would like to have her branch out here! Overall I think she would also get a kick out of the native and want to kick Vaeros in the dingaling.

Event Plans: Momo is participating in quests during the wacky shit going on with the barrier and Vaeros' powers. She's also going to be exploring and getting busy interacting with basically anyone who will before things get wild. I'd love to have her visit the beach and maybe explore the grotto or have a labyrinth experience! She might try to sacrifice her powers, but of course it won't work for her.

Anything else:
Yes this is an actual panel from the manga.

Vash the Stampede | Trigun Stampede | Visitor

[bountyfull]

Character Name: Vash the Stampede
Canon: Trigun Stampede
Character Age:
General Info: Yall know this dummy. He's coming to the 4th wall with all of his Labyrinthum memories in tact plus a canon update to moments before he makes impact in July in the final episode. Vash is an alien with a self sacrificial problem and a pacifist streak.

Are you planning on applying in the future? 95% yes, come January I'd like to bring him back to the game with his memories from this event and everything previous!

Setting Interests: DOG EVERYTHING, I would love to get to have him interact with his previous CR that was here as well as visit his old home, maybe generally kind of wander around a bit and see what's different.

Event Plans: Everything. I would like to actually have him sacrifice his powers, but it'll be iffy on wether that'll work or not. Narratively I think it would be neat. He will dive into just about everything else. Generally I'm looking for CR focus vs action focused, but if people are having issues with the wolves, fireys or are being harassed by the IRS I'm not beyond him playing rescue.

Anything else:

Wuk Lamat | FFXIV

[turali]

Character Name: Wuk Lamat
Canon: FFXIV
Character Age: Young Adult ????
General Info: Their personality, role in the story, what they do etc

Are you planning on applying in the future? Extremely tentative. I'm looking to voice test mostly!

Setting Interests: I GO HERE. I WRITE YOUR EVENTS.... But mostly I'm invested in the adventure-y DO STUFF side of the game, she's gonna fucking rail against being stuck on an island and insist that they have a sitdown with Vaeros because surely he can be reasoned with. If not they just gotta hit him a little, right?

Event Plans: Give me any of the cooperative quests or things where characters have to work together. I'm looking for character interactions most of all, even if I lean on the adventure-y side of things (Listen, if someone is a big enough furry and they WANT to try and give her a kiss, I'm not going to fight you.

[abyssalflames]

...Does Wuk Lamat actually know about the Ascians/Ancients? Either way, I am here for buff cat lady.

[turali]

IIRC I think she is, at some point, made aware of at LEAST SOME of the stuff that went down with the wol, but I don't know that she was made aware of ascians/would really retain a lot of the Complicated Mess that went down.

BUT I'M DOWN!! Distant cousin castmate CR....

[abyssalflames]

It is a very complicated mess, tbf. But yessssss distant castmate CR /chinhans

GENERAL INFO IS HERE

[turali]

SINCE I WAS A DINGUS AND DIDN'T FILL OUT THE WHOLE MEME:

Wuk Lamat is a brash, warm hearted and overall GOOD shounen protag sort of character who goes through a lot of growth and learning of her own self worth and her position in the world before becoming the Vow of Resolve, one half of a ruling set with her older brother Koana (the Vow of Reason). She's highly energetic, hard headed, but wholly loves her country and her people. She's determined to do a good job leading Tural. The canon point I've picked for her is the end of the main storyline for Dawntrail.

[guncat]

Lamaty'i... this is very strange. :(

(let me pat the cat with another cat)

[bountyfull]

CAT PETTING CAT PETTING

[slashafk]

I want Wuk to be the first person Na'na learns that NO ONE KNOWS WHO SHE IS BC SHE WOULD BE LIKE

"AY WUK'LAMAT!!! WHATS GOING ON I JUST SAW YOU A FEW WEEKS AGO!!"

Nana: haha so funny....

[bountyfull]
