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

Comments

Catra

[heterochromeow]

Character Name: Catra
Canon: Shera and the Princesses of Power
Character Age: ~20
General Info: Prickly ass pear. See spoiler free info page
Permissions Post: Here

State Of: Catra's kindof... not digging the new place that much. Everyone's moved over there and left her behind, or at least that's how she views it, after she finally got kindof settled into Somnius. Things are going too well, and she's a bit stuck without some clear plotline or danger present. The people she's gotten close to have all got closer friends to focus on, so in her usual way, she's clinging to what she has and being real closed off usually.

CR Desires/RP Wishlist: Building up that slowburn relationship building, chance encounters with strangers, chances for her to burn some bridges or make some enemies. She is camped in Somnius at the moment because that's what she's familiar with, so it'll be an uphill battle to get her to come out to Lumindeas a bit more to see people.

Event Plans:

• Royal Audience: No huge plans, she might sneak a question in but unless you have an idea there's no CR bumps I can see here.


• Flower Affection: Strong maybe. I don't know if Catra's love for Adora is really a secret? per se. Nor would it mean anything to anyone here. As much as I'd like to be mean to this cat, I'll be brewing on this for a bit if only because I can't see the cr revelations being that interesting. Open to ideas again!


• Crystal Corruption: It's money, if it's not too much work she'll help out. Or maybe she'll just tease your character while they work instead. Fun opportunities for getting a little closer?


• Truth and Trust: This one's the one she'll mostly likely engage with. And by engage I mean hang around and spy on other people. But who's to say she won't get caught up as well, right? 2Truths or truth or dare is a good way to learn a little more about her and others. :)

Anything else:

[a_cute_batata]

We've got to get these two together in Truth and Trust!

Also, perfect cursed image of Swift wind. Looks like it belongs in Centaurworld.

[heterochromeow]

You bet!

And thank you, it's v cursed.

[a_cute_batata]

Awesome! I shall look for you later!

Flower Affection ideas

[heterochromeow]

Spent a little more thinking on this!

It may be fun to use it as an excuse to
1. Get Catra to accept someone helping her.
and 2. Get her to confess some of the feelings she keeps bottled up that aren't necessarily secrets. IE. How she often feels lonely, or gets jealous about others easily, and feels like her only value to others is being useful for something.
