Entry tags:
activity check + arc iv + badges...
All hail, spring is over — happy June! A bit of admin with your day:
ACTIVITY CHECK
To pass activity requirements, you need to have produced one of: 1 network post or 5 log comments or 10 network/text-style comments in the month of check. Activity can be carried out in game communities or in character inboxes.
In May, insufficient activity was found for:
- Cato | unpurposed
Delilah |alterare — RECLAIMED
Slick |sergeant_slick — swept as a result of two consecutive strikes.
Drop a line by 23:59 on 5 June to reclaim a character, or if they have activity that wasn't appropriately recorded.
ADMIN & ARC IV
■ By a wide vote margin, the people have spoken, and our Arc IV destination is A Tale of Two Cities — expect steampunk, otherness, very strange architecture, a diplomatic school, and two cities intermittently occupying the same structures, their residents accusing each other of being... inhuman.
■ Ahead of that, the group sets out on a roughly six-week
■ Sea sickness brews, feeding for Kaneki Ken and balance for Viktor's limp are already accounted for — but please holler if your character also needs accommodations at sea.
■ To celebrate the very first time the party leaves an Arc location in a better state than they found it, please check out individual character gifts. An attempt was made to make these fun, unique and a memento of some plot involvement, but if you're not having fun with your character's gift, give a shout!
■ Our upcoming event, due live on 3 June, doubles as a test drive meme (TDM). It will be open publicly, and anyone who plays on the TDM will not require an invite during the 10-17 June application session. Apps will once again briefly open in late July, but will be invite-only at the time.
■ UPDATED: the June calendar, alongside the Story So far summary of Arc III and the Undead Lieges write-up with the latest reveals.
ARC III BADGES
They're here, have no fear! If you've never played this: you can grab a wallet and cram it with general mood badges or Arc-specific ones. This is purely for fun, and you can pick whatever badges you think describe the
HOUSE OF RAVENS
Share with the class in the comments — what does your character's badge wallet look like these days?
CANON NAME: U - X
Umbrella Academy | Allison Hargreeves: for absorbing the volcano magic, a medical vial from the witches of the Fetters that can cure nearly any sickness. Can only be used once, and not against the effects of the volcanic absorption.
Umbrella Academy | Diego Hargreeves: as the slayer of the Beastmaster, patron to the villages, Diego is initially given a wide berth by elders — but sought out later by the youth of Ke-Waihu, who understand it was only a matter of time until the lord of the beasts came to collect them as tributes. They offer him a coffer of their paltry, but warmly given possessions: fresh clothes, new boots, a coarse but well meaning dagger, a standard quiver and bow. All engraved, bearing his name.
Umbrella Academy | Five Hargreeves: 15,000 coins, when the men of the forge see him around the village and think he's the ghost of the boy who disappeared in their workshop. Please don't haunt them. Take the money. Just... take it.
The Untamed | Jiang Cheng: he is approached by the tributes he lustily infiltrated to free one night — they take Jiang Cheng out for wining and dining. They are young, with scant means, but they offer him a delicately carved silver pin with a precious jewel of your choice. A young man says his pregnant betrothed will name their child for him.
The Untamed | Lan Sizhui: for helping ease the spirits of the volcano and chill the waters, a vial whose potion keeps the drinker impervious to the elements for an hour, from the witches of Fetters. You'd think they would have handed that out before? Only usable twice.
The Untamed | Wei Wuxian: for easing the resentful volcano spirits, a ring of quiet: when the piece is worn, Wei Wuxian cannot be sensed or in turn sense spirits with low or moderate strength.
The Untamed | Wen Qing: after her adventures in the snake pit, Wen Qing receives a vial of potent anti-venom from the witches of the Fetters and, should she wish to accept it, a young albino snake.
Warcraft | Anduin: the mastermind of aid to the villages, Anduin receives an offer to stay back and help rule and, from Weisi, a letter of introduction to the Merchants' Guild. Weisi advises not to show it to... that Merchant.
Warcraft | Wrathion: villagers might not have connected the dots between Wrathion and the immense dragon that besieged the forests, but the fox spirits remember — and they know him for one of their own. They give him a whistle that will call to him any fox spirit within a small radius, provided he's on forest or sacred grounds. Shout when you want to use it.
Wheel of Time | Moiraine: for exerting herself against the volcano, and helping discover the truth of Anui, she receives a pendant that contains one of the spirits of the volcano, who desperately wishes to flee the villages. The spirit is weak and cannot always talk back, but it sometimes murmurs words of comfort, or speaks to Moiraine. Player's choice if it was a man or woman.
Word of Honor | Zhou Zishu: for absorbing the volcano magic, a medical vial from the witches of the Fetters that can cure nearly any sickness. Can only be used once, and not against the effects of the volcanic absorption. — and yes, it can be used to permanently heal Zhou Zishu's home world nail illness.
X/1999 | Sumeragi Subaru: no village gifts for Subaru, but he has his very own cabin on the Pariah, choice cuts of dinner and, as a nominal pirate (that's right, adopted in), he gets a small share of any loot. Whether he wants it or not.
