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.

Character Name: Kabru
Canon: Dungeon Meshi
Character Age: 22
General Info: Kabru is an adventurer who loves observing others, figuring out what makes them tick, and using friendly charm to manipulate them to his advantage. He wants to put his CR under a microscope and Study It, both for pragmatic reasons but also because he admits it's like a fun hobby to him. He'll do anything to get on someone's good side, to the point those who get to know him tend to think of him as two-faced at worst, and an avid people pleaser at best.

On the other hand, he's deeply traumatised by monsters, and an attack on his hometown that left him orphaned has left him with a burning desire to wipe out monsters, demons, and dungeons... which also happens to be his wish here in the game.

Housing Plans: He lives in a treehouse with Mithrun, also serving as Mithrun's carer.

Desired CR: He'll be very curious about the Visitors and will want to meet whoever he can to figure out what's up with them/how they differ from regular dreamers. Generally, he's forever looking to network, meet CR useful to his goals, and generally people willing to push things forward.

Initial Plans: Following up on any plans discussed last month, and meeting newbies he potentially might be able to incorporate into said plans... eyes emoji

Event Plans: Kabru will staunchly be against giving Vaeros anything, and will suggest other characters don't fall for it. In general, when he's not meeting Visitors to learn more about them, he'd be keen to work with them and other Dreamers to heal the ravines.

RP Wishlist: PERSONALLY... I would just like him to get chill/casual CR, though that can be hard mode considering he has 0 chill himself and tends to run on Peak Stress. He's made himself pretty hard to get to know so far and that's closed him off from getting closer cr over cr he thinks will be useful. if anyone would like to help with this pent up ball of issues, pls do :')

Anything else:

I was hoping to push her and Kabru to talking, since that got derailed for me last month!
