[PALACE GAME SIGN UPS]

Have you noticed? Some of your friends sure are acting a bit. . . strange! And no matter how hard you may try to reach them, they can't hear you. Are they honestly and truly lost forever? Well. . . not if you have anything to say about it!

Welcome to PALACE GAME SIGN UPS!

The gist of the plot point is this: some characters have had their monsters gradually taking over, which has culminated in them having full control of that character's body. As this is not the result of a death consequence, it almost seems as though the take over is permanent. In order to restore control of these bodies to the original owners, [REDACTED] is going to be allowing the rest of the game into the Palaces of the afflicted characters with one simple instruction: "bring them back." The goal of each Palace will be to find and restore the character's lost consciousness. The methodology is being left up to Palace runners, so no two characters will be brought back the same way.

Based on the lower limits each runner has given me in advance, for now each character may sign up for two sessions, with at least one of them being guaranteed. However, there are caveats to the second sign up:
1. When signing up for any Palaces, specify "first game" for the one you absolutely want to play in, and "second game" for your second. This is so runners can give priority to those who have yet to play in a Palace, if their game participant cap has been met already. Runners have the right to say "hey sorry but I can't actually fit you into this session" to any "second game" sign ups. Please be kind to the runners and respect their limits!

2. Speaking of limits, spread yourselves out! If you see a slot has a cap of 7 and 7 people have already signed up with "first game," then you should use your "first game" sign up somewhere else. You may still sign up with "second game," especially if you talk to the runner in advance and get permission, but again, respect a runner's limits and try not to overload their slots. And if you see a Palace that doesn't have many sign ups at all, please feel free to jump in, even if you don't have CR with the person. Sometimes, the best CR is created when you tromp through someone's psyche, right??

3. BASICALLY JUST BE KIND TO RUNNERS AND ALSO TO EACH OTHER!! If you reeeeeeeeally want a certain session and it's full, then you can always talk to the runner themselves; just respect their decision if they say no!
AND THAT IS ALL. Remember Palaces are running from September 3 - 11. Many people are also willing to run multiple sessions, which is pretty awesome! Each runner should make a top level to this post with their Palace info (including any cws, if there will be any), and then sub top-levels with the dates and times they've chosen to run their Palaces. If the runner has any special instructions and/or permissions for their Palace, that should be included in the sign up top level as well.

OTHERWISE. . . HAVE AT IT! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

GENERAL INFO: This is middling levels of exploration in that there are multiple rooms to go through, but the emphasis is on solving a puzzle/interaction with objects and memories rather than uncovering hidden areas or what have you! This Palace is also high on the danger charts but does not have any boss fights per se (unless you do something REALLY wild), so noncombatant characters should be fine.

That said, success is heavily dependent on your character being willing to fuck around, find out, and actively change things in the Palace, so if they are likely to leave everything as is and not interfere, this may not be a good heart for them to participate in.

CONTENT WARNINGS: It is very easy for characters to die, get injured, and be subjected to various status effects in this Palace! Also please be aware that there isn't really a way to fully avoid the themes of death, undead/ghosts, body horror, torture, starvation, and cannibalism in this heart. I'll look at the squick list and do my best to maneuver things so I don't throw something specific at you that's unfun for you OOCly, but I can't take these elements out wholesale.

SESSIONS: I can take 6 people per timeslot! The available timeslots are:

Saturday Sept 3rd, 12:30 PM to 5 PM PST
Sunday Sept 4th, 12:30 PM to 5 PM PST
Monday, Sept 5th, 6 PM to 10:30 PM PST

I'll be backtagging even when official run times are over, but my availability is not great between the 6th-11th. So please try to get as much of a run in as you can during your actual scheduled time!

Sure! Are you signing up for the time I listed here or are you available for an earlier start? I can do the original time, but my other run today starts at 1 PM, so if I can run you guys at around the same time that would be great.
