activity check + spookytober

[groundrules]

Hi folks! You can find the October activity check (AC) and admin below:

OCTOBER ACTIVITY CHECK

AC is done in-house, and you do not need to do anything unless your character is listed below. Please try to use character tags for posts and logs you tag into — it helps track your activity.

Regular activity requirements are one of the following during the AC month:

■ a network post
■ OR 10 text/network-style comments across at most two threads
■ OR five log comments across at most two threads

Activity can be carried out on either the game communities or character inboxes.

In September, I couldn’t find sufficient activity for...

Shen Qingqiu ( softheartedshizun ) — RECLAIMED FOR REGULAR OCTOBER AC
Vanya Hargreeves ( remugient ) — SECOND STRIKE | RECLAIMED FOR 1.5 x AC IN OCTOBER
Wen Kexing ( wenderer ) — RECLAIMED

Comment here or PM @ groundrules until 5 October if you want to reclaim your character, or if they have September activity that was missed! In an effort to tighten up on AC requirements a bit, this is the last month when characters with two consecutive strikes can be reclaimed.

OTHER ADMIN

■ Our resident Eleven player has put up a COMMUNAL DRAGON RESCUE LOG, if you want to party and play out the beast smuggling until 8-9 October. Thank you!

■ A CR meme will go up tomorrow. Also, if you folks ever want to post OOC memes, floor’s all yours too.

■ The October calendar has been updated — it’s leaner until October to give everyone a chance to unwind from the bustle and pursue their own plots for a change.

■ Do you guys want a scary/horror event to mark the end of October, or are we good with the current creepy levels? DROP YOUR VOTE HERE over the next week.

■ The Story So Far page has been updated with a summary of September plot events.

■ For a refresher on who's on #TeamVannozza or #TeamMacaluso, the list lives here.


PLOT ROLLS & QUESTS

Some pre-discussed quests or custom plot opportunities resulting from recent involvement below. Comment here if you’d like to request a plot roll (or quest) — but you must commit to playing it out, without handwaving. Please mention if you want a funny/wtf?, political or exploration plot roll.Those who received unrequested plot rolls can choose to neglect them!

■ Chu Wanning
■ Hermione Granger & Anakin Skywalker
■ Beitang Moran
■ Wrath

Yes, the piazza definitely is — it will stay open for the entirety of Taravast, unless Macaluso gets really over freedom of speech.

I have returned with a couple of new questions!

1. If he asks around the necromancer district about any new bodies matching the description of the maid will anything turn up?
2. Is there a place that poor people are commonly buried?

[groundrules]

So, our newcomer Sansa Alayne might be able to help with a few more clues regarding what happened to the bodies, but I can tell you "off-record" they've been burned.

Now, since our poor Chu Wanning wouldn't know that, your answers:

1. Nope, no new bodies.

2. Yes, there are some burial grounds in the outskirts. You're under lockdown, mind, so I would be discreet about getting in/out, lest guards suspect you're peddling poison or whatever it is that got our boy Bonaccorso!
