[PLOT IS UNDERWAY]
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

The faces in the candles shift from demonic women to teddy bears and dolls to monstrous beasts, and they all smile pleasantly at the group before flickering away to be replaced by another face. One of the demonic girl faces blows Vil a kiss. Oh no.
Neliris can use his magic on a candle! If it feeds on souls, he'll be able to feel it. . . sucking up a soul, I guess. Though the consequence of same is that the candle EXPLODES in his face with a loud, pained shriek! The scattering of embers and fire will burn his face mildly. Nothing too serious, but it is a consequence of eating?? A mysterious soul?? Rude!!
TOOLS: The tools can be taken without consequences! They cannot be cleaned no matter how hard one tries; they are rusted beyond reasonable use and will wind up staying that way. None of the torture implements seem to have dried blood on them, or any other signs of recent or past usage, either. Strange. . .
Seishirou can open an iron maiden! It will try to eat him when he does so by leaping at him and trying to slam the door around him. It's a clunky device though, so it won't be hard to avoid being eaten, and will stop trying after one or two attempts.
SPEAKING TO PLANTS: There is overgrowth in the room, and Fenwytch may, in fact, open up communication with the plants! They don't really talk much, though. . . they're mostly super cranky and constantly hungry, and they will chat a lot about how delicious everyone in the group looks. However, unless someone attacks them first, they are keeping their distance.
One of the plants is particularly grumpy, and grumbles and grunts about how father NEVER brings them food anymore, not since MOTHER left, it's so STUPID why can't we just EAT THESE PEOPLE it would be so EASY!! TO DO SO!!! Hm!
BLOOD. . . ON A THING: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS CRIES. Also it doesn't matter what device Leo puts his blood on; as soon as a few drops of scarlet drip onto the item, the lighting in the entire room turns blood red and the door to the exit slams shut. The blood begins to move into the pattern of one of your typical demon summoning pentagrams, and from the pentagram arises a bloodthirsty woman with. . . many swords. Many, many, many swords.
The woman seems to be hit with some kind of berserk effect, because she will attack whoever is closest to her, without holding anything back! Her attacks are mostly physical, and she is extremely powerful– a lvl 80 to everyone else's lvl 20. Injuries to her will be moderate, and you can choose which ones you'd like to play with!
While you may not be able to defeat her with physical force, you are trapped in a room with her. A room filled with all kinds of equipment that maybe can be used to incapacitate her.
FOLLOW UP: WHAT DO SPIDERS TRY NEXT?

1. Vil's Signature Spells allows him to curse anything he touches, if we were to get Kali in the iron maiden (we'll get to that), would a condition like "Until we can leave, the the iron maiden won't open" work?
2. Nel has an ability to banish demons/aberrations/elements? While we don't expect the spell to actually make Kali disappear, would something like that be able to keep her from eating them at least? Nel would have to remain near Kali and reapply the spell every now and then.
3. Fen has an ability to stone shape? Would he be able to open a passage out of the room since the whole thing is made of stone?
We have other actions we'll be taking, but we just wanted to see if these worked like we imagined.

Also could he distract her with his blood because that is also a thing he would Consider Testing.

Kaine will attempt to save Nel (tackling him out of the way of an attack) and Leo from immediate demise.
Seishirou is going to try to lure Kali into the iron maiden. When that fails, Vil will cast Fairest One of All to curse the iron maiden with the phrase "Until we can leave, once closed the iron maiden won't open." Nel will attempt to banish Kali to at least slow her down. Wolf and A2 will just be going at Kali with weapons and solar magic old-school style.
Leo will attempt to distract Kali with his blood or command her with it, whichever works. Kaine will then TOSS THE IRON MAIDEN at Kali to try to trap her inside it. Meanwhile Fen will be using stone shape to attempt to create a passage out of the room.
