buttrinthum | OOC Intro & Intense Event Plotting November 2024

• 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.

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.

bestie do you mind he's trying to give up and die here

i believe they promised to EXPLORE THE WORLD AND TRY EVERY BAR, ACTUALLY

oh

that's true... there's no helping it then.

he'll just have to help take care of things.

can odasaku patch him up if he gets any new injuries (which he will be beaming about despite hating pain like the absolute weirdo he is)

Edited 2024-11-11 01:42 (UTC)

yes o v o WE CAN DEF DO THIS I'll jot that down as our lil thing
are u planning on writing a TL? if not lmk if you want me to start something or if you do

he hasn't taken his healing potion to this day so he'll be doing it the old fashioned way (or dramatically carrying him to someone who can help, depending)

dw nlh nullifies potion magic too so he truly has no choice... i think odasaku is in the minority here where he can treat injuries in a conventional way too so he's counting on you bestie!!!

at least it's dazai so yk he'll avoid anything too bad.

i think i'm gonna pass on top leveling this time if you maybe wanna write us a lil starter!! the boys finally getting to work as a team again... what a gift

o v o sure I can write you a starter - do you want it to include combat, or just skip to the injury part? lmk hehe

we could do a lil bit of combat if you don't mind the fact that i haven't written in it a hundred years!! otherwise i'm fine with skipping since i have no strong preference... the boys supporting each other

maybe we can just do the tail end of the combat and focus more on the injury part o v o

that sounds good! let's roll with that then
