[PLOT IS UNDERWAY]

[directrice]

As of Day 56, night, Reverie's village has given away to the INNER PRISON, another part of the world that has only been seen in glimpses and pieces thus far! Please refer to this document for the new setting information. This setting will remain until September 11, after which the plot will end and characters will be returned to the village.

The new setting does not have a suggestion box, and thus cannot be changed in the same way the village could. However, the new setting will allow for something the village did not: EXPLORATION. Here is how exploration of the new setting will work!

1. Players who are interested in touching something in the setting will fill out this form. Please describe which characters are involved, and also what they intend to do in as much detail as they can! Within a few days I will reply with a tiny little write up of what happens, and you can thread out the scenario at your leisure. This method makes things waaaay easier on me, since I don't have time to run exploradors for 90+ characters r-rofl.

2. Each character can go on two explorations. This is so I am not inundated with exploration requests and die trying to write things up for you, cries. This is also an OOC limit, not an IC one. And to make it clear, this is a character limit, not a player one. So if you have two characters you can do four explorations total, as an example!

3. Characters can do explorations alone; however, I OOCly encourage you to group up with other people, both to lower the amount of requests I get and also because things are more fun in a group! Group requests will likely get more involved responses b/c I'll want to give you all things to thread with, though single requests will still get pertinent things that they can share with the group at large!

4. You will be able to submit exploration requests all the way up until September 5 at mutter mumble time. You have a month to do things, so pace yourselves for sure!

5. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comment below! However, as a note, questions that are "what happens if my character does X" may be best saved for exploration threads, depending on what it is. NOT ALL THINGS WILL COUNT AS EXPLORATIONS; if your character ties to punch a barbed wire fence I can answer that as a mod without it counting as one of your explorations lol. But if your character tries to fix a CCTV, that would be better answered as an exploration. IF THOSE EXAMPLES HELP.

6. Please note that some explorations are going to be dangerous, and characters may be hurt in the midst of same! But no one will die, I can promise you that as a mod. Unless you want to die?? Then you can die. THAT ONE IS UP TO YOU AS A PLAYER.

That's all for explorations, and the last thing I want to say is: all players chosen for Palace Games have been contacted and instructed to keep their participation a secret! Don't worry; they will reveal themselves at least a week or so in advance of Palace Games for sign ups c: Please also note that I am changing the dates of Palace Games due to not realizing I had personal things going on the weekend of September 3 and 4 lol. Palace Games will be running the entire week of September 5 - 11, with each runner scheduling their own time slots during that period. Stay tuned for more information to come!

OKAY. THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. PLEASE HAVE FUN ;w;/ And let me know if there is anything you need from me or if I was really bad at explaining something (I am bad at explaining things), otherwise I'm going to die in my bed now b/c I was up WAY TOO EARLY FOR LIFE.

Thank you as always for being a part of my cute game, and I hope you enjoy some August plotty things!! C:

OH PS: PLACEMENTS WILL BE HAPPENING SOON, and will continue throughout August. New characters will be introduced into the new setting. Give me a bit and I'll get this weekend's placements done asap <3

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[laughitoff]

Who: Jiang Yanli, Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian
When: night 56??
What:

- i guess once they have poked around a bit and figured out what's where they are heading through the BASEMENT STAIRWELL down to the MORGUE, at NIGHT WHEN SPIRITS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE ACTIVE, like STUPID PEOPLE i mean SPIRITUALIST PROFESSIONALS

- they would try to communicate with the giggling presence in the basement stairwell AND determine if there's anything to communicate with in the morgue using their ghost-speaking and ghost-calling techniques.

for the giggling presence lwj/wwx would also remember lilith's daughters. wwx would be like hey ;D do you remember us ;DDD and see if that gets a reaction while lwj glares judgementally in the bg

- if they sense that there's something to communicate with beyond the closed morgue doors they will also try to coax it out with said techniques? i guess? they want to talk to it or exorcise it if necessary, unsure of which until thing determined

- jiang yanli is also going to try sitting on the ice throne while the boys wait at the ready to talk to and/or kill anything that tries to come after her for doing so. this is a great decision all around i'm sure

sorry

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[luminate]

Who: Lumine and Childe
When: Day 57 afternoon
What: Lumine and Childe will be checking out the TORTURE CHAMBER!! this involves poking into every corner of the room, touching and checking the implements and devices, and the walls as well, to look for any hidden rooms or exits, looking under the tables and behind equipment and in the alcove with the throne.

- Lumine will also be taking a good look at those candles and torches that seem to have faces?? She'll flick her fingers through the flames to see if anything happens. It's fine. Also, she'll attempt to blow them out or otherwise extinguish them.

- Childe will try sitting in the throne, because of course he will. If nothing happens while he sits in it (and he'll remain for a few moments to see if that has anything effect) he will try to knock it over and damage it with the available tools. If THAT doesn't do anything, he will try to remove it from the room. He is basically trying to piss off any evil spirits that might be hanging around, definitely a solid idea.

- He will also try to take apart some of the existing torture equipment, like the iron maiden and the table, basically attempting to make it harder for any of their fellow inmates to try and torture someone, or a third party to torture them. Trust no bitch.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[gunmettle]

Who: Juzo, Marianne, Jade, Sholmes
When: Day 57 morning
What: Checking out the cell walk!

All of the details are here in handy GDoc form.

[unfinishedsymphony]

Who: Lotor, Kaine, Endorsi, Wilbur
When: 57 night
What: DOUBLE TROUBLE DOUBLE DATE.

First: they pick through the torture room to get weapons and tools for future use for their time within the prison. Lotor is grabbing whatever is closest to a sword. Endorsi is more interested in tools than weapons. Wilbur likewise will be looking for anything usable as a makeshift pickaxe, shovel, or axe. Also, pliers and/or shears. During this period Kaine will crawl up to the ceiling to look around, and web a cameras up to watch the places they've taken tools from so they can check the footage later to see how they replenish.

After that, they examine the room. Kaine is checking walls, knocking about to see if anything sounds hollow to find secret passages. Lotor is looking inside the torture devices, taking particular care in examining the inside of the iron maiden. Wilbur is going to sit on the throne. If there's those animate plants around, Endorsi is killing one during this period.

Lastly, BONFIRE TIME. they're going to dismantle torture equiptment once they've looked through it and make a big bonfire in the room. If those creepy faces that are on that level of the prison appear, Endorsi is throwing a rock at it to see if that does anything. TIME TO MAKE THIS ROOM AS UNUSABLE AS POSSIBLE and then enjoy double date in front of the creepy-faced bonfire.

Also, as a final note: All participants in this exploration are absolutely down to clown and up for danger.

[messianic]

Who: Minato & Tsuruno
When: Day 57, morning
What:

These goons are checking out the canteen. Yes, there is probably nothing there. No, they don't really mind. They're vibing.

Anyway, points of interest!

- They're definitely going to be checking out the chair and also probably goofing off around it. Competing to see who can sit on it longest, dumb things like that. I hope they don't break it.

- Checking out the cash register to see what's inside and if they recognize anything and also because sparkly things are interesting.

- Being gremlins and adding every single one of those flavor drops to a drink to see how it tastes. Is this important to reverie plot? No. They're doing it anyway.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[gunmettle]

Who: ALL OF PHOENIX
When: Night 56, shortly after arriving and grabbing relevant belongings from the "dorm"
What: Exploring the security office!

Once again, everything is here in a GDoc.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[likewinning]

Who: Ingo, Emmet, Saturn, Hilda, Ritsuka, Da Vinci, and Falin.
When: Day 57 evening
What: Exploring the cells!

We have a gdoc here with what everyone's going to do. Emmet is mostly sticking to the others and Da Vinci is babysitting. Falin is going to attempt to Kool Aid Man some stuff. It's fine.

[fujimaru]

Who: Ritsuka, Ruggie, Unisonya, Minato, and Jiang Yanli
When: Day 58 morning
What: IN KEEPING WITH EVERYONE ELSE, here is a doc with our actions.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[stirtheblood]

Who: Vicious, this one he is doing by himself
When: like 2am day 57
What: TRYING TO BREAK INTO SOLITARY

Vicious already tried to break down the door to solitary a little bit, but he's going to pull out the big guns while no one is around. A literal big gun.

In his demon form he can drain energy from all living things around him, though he generally controls it so that he's only borrowing a little, and via the powercap I have limited the radius of it pretty severely. However in this case he will actually attempt to harvest a lot from the plant life, and probably some from people too (they are probably asleep anyway it's fine if they're a little fatigued). Then he decend the stairs to where solitary is and attempt to just blow the whole thing away with his mystic arte, Devour the Heavens, in which his arm turns into a big dragon-mouthed cannon and blasts the concentrated energy. He's not even attempting to specifically break down the door at this point. Some collateral damage is fine, since breaking away enough of the walls/floor to get in would also be acceptable.

[marmoris]

Who: Childe, Henry, and Jade
When: Day 57, Morning
What: Exploring the morgue. Handy-dandy GDoc link!

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[terribletwos]

Who: Nikkou and Lechter
When: Afternoon Day 59
What: CELL BLOCK EXPLORATION
Nikkou would want to CAREFULLY try to move the plant life since the qirin won't let him cut it and maybe collect some of the iron on the floor. He would take at least one never-expiring candle and probably study the shapes in the flame like a weirdo XD He would be trying to see if he recognizes anything about them or if different ones have different face. He might also cast Fire or Blizzard on one each to see if the faces change depending on the flame temperature. Oh, and he'd look under the cell cots to see if anything is under there. And try to Blizzard the water in the buckets to see if there's anything weird about the water. Also he'd be ready to fight anything that came at them. He has his Keyblades, elemental magic and light-based magic to bear.

Lechter would observe all of the oddities but probably just take some scrap iron and manacles to craft things with. The candle faces would be of high interest to him too so he could also be checking those out. In terms of what he can do, he's damn good with offensive magic and halfway decent with a blade.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[badsunrising]

Who: Wolf and Lumine
When: Day 59 because Wolf isn't stupid enough to enter a morgue at night
What: MORGUE EXPLORATION
Lumine will be sure to come equipped with the blanket from her room, which she will use to protect her hands! She will check every corner of the room for secret secrets, like hidden passages or mechanisms for opening the doors.

She will try the doors with her (protected) hands, then when they don't open she will attempt to use her elemental powers on them. Wind blasts, rock constructs to wedge them open, electro on the hinges, etc. She'll also inspect the doors very closely for any symbols or writing or anything interesting at all.

Lumine will also inspect the throne, though she won't sit on it, because it looks really cold and she doesn't want frostbite on her ass?? But she will pick around the entire thing in as much as she is able, inspecting it for hidden mechanisms or more symbology. She will be Touching the throne a lot even if she will not sit on it.

Okay, so that amulet that Wolf keeps with him basically harnesses the elemental power of the sun. In reasonable amounts. He can't attack with it in woof form, but he can heat things up if they're on without taking burn damage. The amulet also generates a good deal of light and heat. So the heat might help with the chill of the room. He can potentially warm Lumine if he stays very close to her.

Will try to do some flower/plant removal with claws/teeth because fuck those things.

Will slam the full force of his pony-sized body into the doors to see if they budge, possibly while heating himself up to see if that makes a different. If he manages to open any, he's probably going to tear up a plant or two and toss it in there to see what happens. Because he is not dumb enough to stick his head in there himself.

Oh and will sniff around EVERYTHING to see if he can pick up anything amid the rot.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[velluminous]

Who: Sprezzatura, Nessa, Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, Henry Creel
When: Day 58, afternoon into evening
What: Having a normal one outside solitary!

Here's a handy gdoc!!! Since magic is kinda wonky in Reverie, please feel free to nix any of Sprezzatura's spells in whatever way, if necessary!

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[velluminous]

Who: Sprezzatura, Arthur Inkwell, Da Vinci, Percy, Tolovir

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[redheaded_menace]

Who: Ei & Lechter
When: Evening, Day 58 (?)
What: Ei and Lechter decide it's a great idea to check out the Front Entrance. They'll investigate all that there to see, and Ei surveying. The giggling will be making Lechter uneasy, and he'll be doing his damnest to remain his usual flippant self. This will also give them an opportunity to chat about themselves and their memories, pasts, and homes.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[sagescion]

Who: Alphinaud and Megumi!
When: Day 58...? Evening
What: Let's go visit the Morgue and Solitary! (or one of those if we're only allowed to pick one) Absolutely nothing spooky could possibly happen there to scare Alphinaud. :) Basically Megu and Alphinaud are going to get the lay of things, see what they see etc.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[stirtheblood]

Who: Vicious and Tsuruno
When: Day 58 evening
What: LET'S SAY THEY'RE CHECKING OUT THE MORGUE. They've both got fire stuff going on, they can probably handle the cold! And stuff to do:
- Fight flowers! They are smugger, maybe they are stronger!
- Try to shoot open the morgue doors. Maybe there are zombies!!
- Try to melt the ice throne. Maybe there's an ice king monster that will come be mad about it!

Essentially yes they are just looking for monsters.

Re: EXPLORATIONS

[cultfavorite]

Who: Bronzor, acting alone without Saturn's knowledge
When: Night 59
What: It is heading down to the morgue on its own! Bronzor is made of bronze and has no limbs but can manipulate things psychically so this is gonna be hilarious! Honestly I'm fine if not much comes of this I just want it to have happened lol. Bronzor is 2x resistant to Ice but not immune to it. It is 4x resistant to Psychic and 2x resistant to Fairy but 2x weak to Ghost and Dark, JUST YOU KNOW, IF THIS ENDS UP RELEVANT

- It will be opening all doors via telekinesis where it's possible, so it will try that on the morgue doors.
- It will try firing off Shadow Ball (a Ghost-type move) at the ice throne.
- It will not fuck with the plants. It learned better after the cell walk okay.
