Aw Snap OOC

Hello friends!

Today was the last day for Pokemon related things! Hope everyone got what they wanted and are on their way to wrapping up stuff from that plot, coz we’ve got more things on the way! If you haven’t already, please leave a note saying what pokemans your characters got here so I can make a chart about it!

The new plots aren’t starting up yet but I’m gonna give ya’ll a schedule for them and the general break down just so everyone can do some plotting, because these are kinda heavy ones, and I think they require some forethought and planning.

July 6th-17th:
The Super-Flu

Early on July 6th, someone is going to open a Door and something terrible is going to blow through it, like an alternate-dimensional plague.

Any characters that deviate from Earth Standard Norms (this means super-powered, augmented, alien, whatever) are going to come down with a mysterious illness. How this illness might affect your character is up to you, for the most part. If they had powers they might lose them, if they were scientifically augmented they might go back to how they’d been before that, if your character is a magic user they could either lose their magic or maybe become very ill every time they try using a spell, etc.

Our characters are going to have to writhe around in agony and sadness for 12 days (when it will wear off naturally), unless they can figure out some kind of cure! The caveat to this is, the doors will not open for those twelve days!

Characters are free to opt out by having been through the doors when the plague was let in, and they can return through the doors even if no one can leave through them!

July 23-31st
The Gifting Plot

Any time during this period your character can receive a really great gift! It can be something bigger than you might not be able to get as gifts in partner threads i.e.: The TARDIS for the Doctor, or a specific room or portion of a building (that will, miraculously, fit inside your characters’ house or apartment with no problem at all with some House of Leaves and Doctor Who style bigger on the inside magic) or pretty much anything else you can think of (barring npcs, and with mod approval!).

BUT, if your character gets a great gift, they also have to get a bad gift! These will vary by person based on canon, of course, but some examples might include: a bad memory they tried covering up, an item that reminds them of something bad that was done to them, or that they used to do something to someone else with, etc etc.

Ask your questions here about any of the following.


Additionally:
I’m going to be gone a lot of next week and I might not be around to bug you to get your Activity in! But it’s due, as ever, on the last day of the month! Do it early, so you don’t forget! :)

Just a reminder that Activity Checks are due by the 31st! Even if you're new, you can still use that same form to sign up for Partner Threads which you can read more about here. Glorious gifts and fortune await you!

Hey everyone! Just a quick reminder that the Activity Check is coming up, which is, as always, coupled with the sign up of Partner Threads! Both of those things are due by the last day of the month. If you're unsure what counts for activity, it's in both the AC post and in the rules, and you can feel free to ask here or contact me as necessary.

Now's also a good time to put in your two cents about next month's plot -- would you like another one based on very specific locations with the doors, or something more involved and situational within the town? I know June can be a busy month for people particularly when there's school involved, and I don't want to roll out a thread not everyone could participate in as actively as they might like. Lemme know!

PS:
It's come up as a question in chat, so I'll let it be known officially; If someone disappears, their stuff remains.

Thanks!

Additionally, another reminder for activity checks. If your character came in AFTER the 25th, you don't have to do checks but you might want to sign up for the partner threads in the same location! Your character does receive gifts for participating!

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that you've got 4 days to get that activity check in and also sign up for partner threads!

Speaking of partner threads! Please know that gifts from them can now include canon updates!

And speaking of canon updates! Thanks to everyone for being a peach about not spoiling Endgame! Not that any character we currently have in game is from that point in time, but when someone inevitably ends up being, let's remember to hide any spoilers behind warned cuts, okay? (For at least a few weeks until everyone who plans on seeing it gets to do so!)

Thanks!

Also, just a reminder that this month's activity check is due on the 30th! You can find the check here! If you're feeling a little behind in activity, there's a pretty great meet and greet thread here that everyone is invited to play in!

Hello friends!

Fun things are coming! Saddle up for our first game-wide plot which starts on April 1st and will last for three days.

April 1st means April Fool’s! Starting on midnight of the 1st, the Doors in the Dimensional House will only open to one place. And that place is an alternate dimension where heroes of all kinds are both real and very celebrated. This’d probably be a great place to break free and get some answers or help or something from a public where Avengers and Space Travelers (etc) exist except….

The doors only open up to a Convention Hall where a Heroes Con is in full swing. There’s no getting out of the hall / hotel that it’s taking place in, so the real challenge will probably be arguing with hardcore fans about how your cosplay is all wrong, or fighting for that very last Hawkeye t-shirt at the booths.

Please feel free to use this post for plotting purposes!

Additionally:
1) Tomorrow is the very last day to get in your Activity! Players that came in on the 20th or later are exempt, but checking in just to say you’re still around would be good practice for the future!
2) Also last chance to sign up for partner threads if you haven’t done so already! (Its part of the activity check!). Lemme know here or there if you wanna be included so we can get those assignments out ASAP — possibly hopefully on the same day the plot rolls out? Remember you get gifts for participation!

Hey friends! Friendly reminder that activity checks are due at the end of the month on the 31st!
There's always a quick link to them on the members/cast list page, but I'm also gonna link it right here.

We've got about exactly a week before they're due so now's a great time to see where you're at and get those last comments in if you need to (and if you're all set, feel free to turn it in early)!
