FEBRUARY 2025 OOC INTRO AND PLOTTING POST


• 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 SummaryA 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
There will be a header comment for all questions aimed at Seravo on the event post. The NPC will be available for one question per player. In order to keep the tag load manageable, the threads may be kept fairly short. Seravo reserves the right to ignore or talk around any question he doesn't want to answer. Only those who attend the Audience can ask questions of Seravo.

All questions/thread starters should be posted before February 18th 11:59pm CST. After the end of February, any threads with the NPC will be considered wrapped.

hermes | final fantasy xiv (ffxiv)

[personal profile] everylife 2025-02-11 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Hermes
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV, the critically acclaimed MMORPG that has a free trial including the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion AND the Stormblood expansion up to level 70 with no restrictions on playtime
Character Age: physically & mentally in his mid- to late 20s
General Info: Literally the saddest man in his world. A wildly empathetic individual who believes every life is important, not just the lives of mankind. Takes major issue with sacrificing "lesser" lives for the sake of progress. Because of these views, Hermes can't fully relate to anyone in his world, adding loneliness to his sad cocktail.
Permissions Post: info & permissions

State Of: Doing surprisingly well for the saddest man alive. Made a network post introducing himself, and also attended the curry cook-off. Feel free to tag him on either!

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Friends, friendly acquaintances, questing buddies, etc. Primarily looking for positive CR right now. Hermes does well with characters who are optimistic and/or driven. Extroverts to pull him out of his reserved shell are great. He also appreciates other people who feel deep sorrow and will immediately attempt to bond with them bc /spiderman pointing meme, they're the same!!

Non-Event Plans: /gestures to the posts linked above

Event Plans: Hermes will participate in clearing out corrupted crystals, and he will participate and truth & trust activities. While he will not be afflicted with flower petals himself, I'm down for him helping others with their affliction; however, I'm opting out of him learning any big things about his own future.

I plan to tag-out instead of top-level, but I can also write closed starters. Just lmk if you're interested in something!

Anything else:

omg i'm just imagining the trust falls like,

hermes: do you wanna switch
dokja: no :)
hermes: ...
dokja: :) :) :)

which is HILARIOUS but i am also very down to do crystal corruption instead/as well! whichever you're feeling most! or we can decide as the event gets closer/see what prompt inspires most

OK BUT LIKE Hyth is now hiding something pretty significant from Hermes which may lead to him getting sick. I really honestly doubt he'd say anything to him either lol

I assume OOCly that learning about the true nature of the Final Days and who caused it all would be something you'd want explored later when Hermes has had a chance to find his footing? If so I can either have Hyth get a lil sick, or not sick at all to save hassle :3

[personal profile] everylife 2025-02-11 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
oocly yeah, hermes learning about the final days is too much, too soon. i'd rather keep him in the dark about that so he can maybe ??? find joy in life ?? just a little!!

if you still want hyth to get sick from that, maybe you could swing it as 'he is keeping a secret from hermes' and that itself is a secret? idk who he'd confess it to but /waves hands, just a suggestion!

Yeah I didn't intend to dump it on him within his first month of being here! I might just have Hyth get sick but yeah he can tell someone else the truth that he's hiding it from Hermes, and we can say that helps :3
