FEBRUARY 2025 OOC INTRO AND PLOTTING POST

[labyrinevents]

• PLOTTING & CR MEME •

Welcome to our February CR meme! This post is our monthly CR meme for everyone, an OOC intro for our New Players and also serves as a place to make some plans for our next event which will go live on February 15th. Below you will see the Event planning form as well as an Event Outline for our upcoming event.

• Event Outline •

Expand to see our Event Summary

A Royal Audience

• A Royal Forum is being held in Stellari where Seravo himself will appear - Dreamers are encouraged to attend
• There is food and drink, mingling is encouraged
• Seravo announces that he will be returning the powers that Dreamers sacrificed during the November event
• Throughout the month, Dreamers who sacrificed their regained abilities will feel the powers slowly begin to return, and they will have returned fully by the New Moon
• Seravo opens the forum to questions - one question will be allowed per character, with short Servo threads in response; please keep IC questions to IC knowledge

Flower Petal Affliction
cw: disease, blood, body horror

• Dreamers who are withholding something important / hiding a secret will develop a cough and begin to feel sick
• Locals are aware of the disease and warn that it will progress quickly unless the truth is told
• The afflicted feel symptoms such as fever, headache, weakness, difficulty breathing, and a persistent cough which produces flower petals and blood, as roots grow in the lungs
• The disease also causes increased feelings of mistrust for the people around you
• The afflicted WILL die if the disease is not cured, and it can only be cured by confessing the afflicted's hidden truths

Crystal Corruption

• Corrupted clusters of crystal begin appearing in the swamp, where local workers are stationed, tasked with destroying it - Dreamers are asked to help
• Getting close to the corrupted crystal will cause feelings of mistrust to grow between the Dreamers working together, worsening the longer they are exposed
• Dreamers must work in pairs of twos or threes to clear corrupted crystal
• Dreamers will help remove corrupted crystal from the swamp by either crushing clusters, helping snakes who are afflicted with the crystal, skimming the waters for crystal clusters, or removing crystal clusters from trees
• Crystal clusters are collected in small bags that are to be returned in exchange for a small amount of cords (up to three bags)
• Crystal clusters are also appearing in Lumindeas, which Dreamers are also asked to help clear
• Crystal rings (similar to fairy rings) can only be cleared by two Dreamers standing in the middle and telling a truth
• Crystal in the woods can only be cleared without using magic
• Domestic animals are infected with the crystal and must have it cleared, as well as wolves from the woods, which much be healed so they don't spread the parasite
• Those who clear the crystal in town are asked to bring them to a purification dance, where they will be paired up and taught a dance similar to the tango; it increases trust between the partners

Truth & Trust

• The Uweih religion is holding truth & trust exercises at the gold crystal to promote healing from the flower petal disease
• The event has the atmosphere of a festival, with music, food, games, and other pageantry
• Dreamers are encouraged to participate in activities such as trust falls, telephone, two truths & a lie, etc. (there will be a list of activities and directions for how they work)
• Participating in these activities will help Dreamers start to feel better if they are afflicted with the disease, but only if they've addressed the hidden truth that is making them sick

dolph laserhawk | captain laserhawk

[laserhawk]

Character Name: Dolph Laserhawk
Canon: Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix
Character Age: 30+
General Info: Dolph’s story is a typical one. He grew up on the streets, joined the military for a better life, got horribly injured and then became a cyborg supersoldier and the face of a fascist dystopic company. However, he realized they Sucked and ditched them. However, due to not paying his medical bills, he was being hunted as Eden’s property and they sent the state police after him. Isn’t capitalism fun?

On the outside, Dolph is an incredibly taciturn and blunt person, verging on rude and sarcastic. He doesn’t have much experience with friends or family and has been betrayed over and over again, which makes it hard for him to open up to anyone. He just wants to live a peaceful life, preferably with a nice boyfriend and have no one kill him or sell him to the highest bidder. Life goals. He is kinder and more compassionate than he lets on, he just lacks any emotional acuity to go with it. Though after a year in Laby, Dolph had become much more stable, kinder and willing to do what it takes to help others. That’s who he is. Who he was meant to be.

State Of: Dolph is doing well! He’s reached a couple of milestones in regards to who he is, who he wants to be and what he truly cares about. He’s a much more stable person, though which direction he wishes to go in remains unclear. That being said, he has a wedding to plan.

Desired CR:
❖ Friends! He’s gotten better about making them and connecting with others.
❖ Coworkers for his club. Who needs a job, come get one.
❖ People from tech friendly/sci-fi worlds! Dolph always likes to hear that he shares similarities with others.
❖ People willing to put up with someone who is very blunt.
❖ Everything! I want to touch everyone.

RP Wishlist:
❖ Getting ~married~
❖ Having him get hurt, I wanna do some h/c
❖ What are YOUR plans for him?

Non-Event Plans: Not at the moment! But I’m up for anything.

Event Plans:
❖ Dolph will help with clearing out crystal corruption in the woods. Since he doesn’t use magic, it’s an easier feat for him to just blast things.
❖ He doesn’t hide shit, but he’s here for anyone who feels reluctant to share big secrets. He’ll listen and not judge!
❖ He’ll be mingling for food/drink and fun exercises.

husbands blasting out crystal corruptions? is the power of love strong enough to overcome distrust emotions? (yes. they're disgusting)

[pedagogies]

OHHH I love this let's do it

[neighsaying]

i think it'll be jean's (normally very mild) fear that dolph will decide he can do better than jean.

PENCILS U IN

[pedagogies]

dfgfg oh jean ;;

[13thcommander]

Dolph getting hurt, you say... guess what suave motherfucker is getting his souped up healing back?

[ananym]

Yesss I'm in need of Erwin threads.

[13thcommander]

This is very exciting, Erwin is going to use his metal arm to heal Dolph. It won't work if he tries it with his actual hand.

And you know why?

BECAUSE DOLPH HEALED HIM MONTHS AGO WITH HIS METAL ARM!

It's all coming full circle...

[ananym]

Aww. I love it ;;
