Happy Hallowmonth, merry October, greetings to the third quarter — hope you're all unwinding!

ACTIVITY CHECK

Below is the list of characters for whom sufficient activity wasn't found in September. Please comment here to reclaim a character by 5 October or if their activity was missed!

Lorna Dane | The Gifted
Okita Souji | Hakuoki
Su Xunxian | Oh! My Emperor
Jens Macher | Triangle Strategy — two consecutive strikes, cannot be reclaimed

Unfortunately, very few people are using character tags right now — please do, or else your activity is very easy to miss, and we may need to move to a system where everyone tracks their own AC. Thank you!

ADMIN

■ UPDATED: October calendar + the latest installment of Clockwork Serthica story so far.

■ Our event/test drive remains active until 14 October — chef kisses to everyone making the newbies feel our version of welcome, which may or may not involve a bear! If you exhaust what there's to do early and want more, holler here, and we'll figure out something cute in the Mouse House.

■ For Jim and Finn, assume their mannequin friend creepily makes its way down in the Mouse House. Viktor's J-8S droid also follows. Kaneki, you're on your own finding dead meat here, buddy — but it does taste weirdly much more filling than what Minaras had to offer...

■ You'll get a Serthica status update on 19 October, but now's a good time to incorporate any plots/plans/adventures you folks want to explore in Serthica this month. Please drop off your suggestions and talk among each other — anything from 'raid a clock' to 'hold a three-thousand droid tango session in the square' accepted.

■ As characters resurface from the U n w i n d i n g, there's scope to mess with passport papers and switch up some allegiances. Drop a line by <5>October if you want your character to be reassigned from Eidris to Minaras, or the other way around — but know their false identity & role would have to re-written then, too. As previously, characters can still travel across the two areas. We may need to RNG this, if more than eight characters want to switch.

■ ...yes, we will wake up Zenobius this month.

■ Per last year's fine example: Halloween poll — how hard do we want to go? This is already mystery/fantasy/horror, so some of the flavour will be there anyway.

Yes, absolutely! Five has been actively working on this lately, especially since he just lost another brother. He's very aware he needs to get the math right this time, so there's definitely potential if the Doctor catches wind. Or if he just thinks he's comparing notes because of his bad track record, zero suspicious activity happening.

I've always wanted to get up to something with time travel that goes horribly wrong, but he'll see what he was going for there!
