[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

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

What happens if we try VERY hard to break into solitary

obvs it won't work, but if we were to hypothetically shoot the lock, attack the door with a scythe, kick it very hard, etc. is it just impervious or does it reflect damage or is there some other consequence?

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.

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.

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.

A COUPLE OF DAYS LATE but is it legal if a character starts as an exploration in a group and then sneaks/wanders off on her own after they've hit an area to go poke at dangerous things on her own

you know

just asking for reasons
