March 2025 OOC Intro & CR Meme

[labyrinevents]

• OOC INTRO + CR MEME •

Welcome to the game, newbies! To our current dreamer crew, glad you're still with us! This post will act as an OOC intro for new players and a CR meme for everyone. Below you will see the CR meme form as well as a Event Outline for our current TDM. There will be a "Sleepr" post later this month, this coming weekend infact! Low stakes fun CR building. Look forward to it! We will have an updated quest post going live later this month also.

• Event Outline •

Expand to see our Event Summary

Garden of Dreams

• dreamers are brought to the enchanted garden
• two flowers, Corpse Flowers and Gibralter Campions are causing amorous feelings and intense feelings of hatred.
• Outside of the garden, newly arrived Dreamers are guided to the town of Somnius, from there they can choose to settle in the unfriendly hamlet or choose to explore further, beyond the portal and into the land of Lumindeas.

Something... A little Romantical

• Dolph Laserhawk is hosting a speed-dating event at Club Quartz
• Those seeking romantic OR platonic connection are encouraged to attend
• Even those who would not normally be interested feel a magical compulsion to attend & an overwhelming craving for connection with others
• Guests may find that their informational placards are already magically filled out for them
• There are a list of questions to potentially discuss, some of which were not put there intentionally by Dolph
• Those who feel a connection are encouraged to participate in mini-games (spoon passing, hide & seek, charades, jump rope, three-legged race)

Nicefield's Nest

• A strange settlement has appeared at the edge of Stellari, with buildings that resemble both those of Lumindeas and Visium
• Beings that resemble rabbits, called Loporrits, emerge from the building
• They are obsessed with helping and want Dreamers to help each other too
• Dreamers are asked to poll fellow Dreamers about their satisfaction surrounding the world and report back to Pollingway and Surveyingway (Loporrit npcs)
• The Loporrits are building a help center, but the Lumindeas government is not necessarily reacting well
• Dreamers are asked to go complete good deeds for others while the help center is being built
• Dreamers are asked to try various Loporrits businesses and help advertise to spread the word
• The Loporrits are very persistent and doing as they ask is the only way to get them to leave you alone

Cleaning Efforts & Haywire Powers

• A revitalization effort is taking place in Visium
• Mytra is providing materials to help smash up the crystal in Visium, and is encouraging the use of destructive power if necessary
• Seravo is asking for samples of food, water, soil - anything - from Visium to study the phenomenon occurring there
• only while within visium, Dreamers' abilities are going haywire
• abilities are behaving strangely - engaging at random times, diminished or increased effects, inability to control, etc.
• Dreamers are also experiencing random gold/blue/red potion abilities even if they have never drunk a potion - random bursts of elemental magic, random animal transformation, random healing abilities, etc.
• Dreamers are also sharing abilities; standing too close to a Dreamer with an ability will cause the other Dreamer to start displaying aspects of that ability (diminished from their full power) for a short time

Suspicious Message

• Some receive a suspicious message on their phone from an unknown user (this is opt-in; if you wish to opt-out, simply assume your character didn't receive the message)
• Dreamers feel compelled to respond truthfully to the message, but once they do, the result is publicly posted for others to see/respond to
• "If you were to suddenly feel someone's hand in your own, whose hand would it be? But whose hand would you want it to be?"

Red!

[lasthorizon]

Player Name and Pronouns: Red (she/they)
Contact: PM, over at plurk with menacing, but I also- I don't really- I'm bad at talking about RP so you might have to deal with a work plurk or a discussion about the best foxes or something.
About Me: I'm on Pacific time, certain people who can read this kicked me back into Devil Survivor so I'll probably start playing that in a bit, uh...

This has nothing to do with Laby, but y'all ever have that moment in which you tag someone on a tdm and the thread's great and you're left going, " :c I wish I could continue this CR in this game but it's a bad idea to app for a few reasons." So you're left with the longing. Yeah, me rn.


Character Name: Brant
Canon: Wuthering Waves
Character Age: I think I wrote 27? Whatever. Lateish 20s.
General Info: He's a giant pirate ham who likes hijinks, theater, and being over the top. He's basically someone who was, as a child, thrust into a traumatizing situation and decided to come out the other side as a pirate ham. Why wallow in traumatization when you could just go about sailing the high seas and having dramatic adventures, and so on.

Desired CR: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm still getting him established.

Monthly Plans: I'm keeping it loose and flexible because establishment, finding a niche, etc etc etc.

RP Wishlist: I don't want to write 'but aaaaaaaaaaaanything' but man, I tend to come up with specific ideas for specific character combos, so by extension my RP wishlists are like...

Very tailored to the other person.

A really stupid quest? Getting tragically lost? Fistfight in a courtyard? Someone set the eggs on fire? I don't know.

Anything else: I'm drinking a can of milk tea and it's surprisingly good.

...

God I'm useless today. Peaceful days are over, so I'm gonna survive.

I want more clown hours. I know our thread's still going but I am about 80% sure that something will come of Brant saying that Junah is good with improv. Clearly this is how they kick off their fruitful careers in Laby as street performers...

[lasthorizon]

NO YOU SEE MY VISION

there's a reason why I was shitposting as this guy, and I was like This One and threw him into a game, and it's not just because of everything else

We'd need a few more nerds but imagine the IC community theater or heist or LARPing/tabletopping or 'look a distraction' options. Actually, this is making me realize that if I app in desu Haru and then swerve and pick up Little Gui again, I could singlehandedly jumpstart the busking scene here, if one doesn't exist already.

[maskedsinger]

Well lucky for you WE MAY IN FACT GET OUR COMMUNITY THEATER CR... Not sure about the busking scene but you're right they could be their own band... U know me though I do love to shitpost from time to time...

[lasthorizon]

God, I see that.

AND SEE, re: busking, IF I SINGLEHANDEDLY BRING IN A BUNCH OF STREET PERFORMERS I COULD JUST like have the stupidest CR circle ever which consists of all of my characters avoiding each other while putting on shows.

I could just have it be like

GUINAIFEN: [leaves]
HARU: [walks in]
