AUGUST CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Hello, fairybros!

A couple of quick notes before we forge forward into the August event! As of next app cycle (September), we will be making some changes to the current app and also begin allowing NATIVE OC APPLICATIONS. These applications will have a different format than traditional applications, and will be much more vigorous in their review process, as well as have a completely separate and much shorter submission period. Native OC applications will be submitted before traditional apps, not alongside, and will only be open to individuals with a character currently in-game. We will notify the community as we release info on this in the upcoming month!

And as some of you may have noticed, we've been advancing the game's overarching plot not just through the use of the monarchs, but other in-game NPCs, PM-based special events, and other small easter eggs. We encourage individuals who have taken part in these events to PM the mod account criticisms, thoughts, and reviews of this experience or to paste them in the review area below, as there will be more of them in the upcoming months! 

Also related to NPCs, here is a link to a gamewide player character NPC roster! If your character has any followers or NPCs which other player characters may *frequently* interact with, please feel free to add their details! Fairies, soldiers, footmen, servants, and more are all game! If you desire, you can even advertise your NPC as an appable native OC. 


 
The Falling of the Lawkamercyme
GENRE: MYSTERY/MAGICAL | DURATION: 10-18 AUGUST





SUMMARY The lack of the stars kept by shardholders has left the night sky more dark than usual; and it's from the sky that these small wrathful creatures fall. Most of them are only as tall as knee-height, with wide mouths full of dozens of needle-sharp teeth, and look like living shadows. They have a fondness for eating birds, any food they can get their hands on, and shoes. They'll also leave clothes and bedding in tatters. If many find each other, they will bind together to grow proportionally larger... and more dangerous. When in this form, they'll seek out the women of the court to hunt.

The fairies and imps can sometimes be caught heard shrieking "Lawkamercyme!" at them before fainting, and may be eaten if not quickly saved! If characters speak this name around them, the dark shadows will shrink a little; if several characters do it at once, the combined command will cause the shadows to vanish and the trouble to lessen. Otherwise, they seem very afraid of dogs, who will hunt them mercilessly and seem to be the only thing which can kill them beyond speaking the strange word ...

( Please read the Monthly Overview/Quick Notes and use this post for all your plotting needs! )
MONTHLY OVERVIEW
01st AUGUST • APPS CLOSE. What it says on the tin! Get your apps in before this date! Also, MONARCH MEETING AHOY! 
03rd AUGUST • REDGATE MASTER LOG OPENS. For characters who have developed business in Redgate, the master log will be posted on August 03, and will be open throughout the month.
10th AUGUST • EVENT START. The strange shadow creatures begin infesting the lands, causing havoc, and where they can, meeting and merging with others of their kind to form vicious beasts! Handwaved proclamations are posted in the courts urging player characters to do away with these threats by whatever means necessary.
18th AUGUST • OOC submissions for Boons OPEN and are approved/altered/denied until the 22nd (00:01am LONDON GMT).
23rd AUGUST • Approved or altered, boons are ICLY received today when characters wake up.
26th AUGUST (00:01am LONDON GMT)ACTIVITY CHECK.
31st AUGUST (00:01am LONDON GMT)ACTIVITY CHECK ENDS.
QUICK NOTES!
• All of the living shadows will start off approximately knee-high, and the smaller they are, the easier they are to kill.
• Each court keeps its own hounds for hunting, and characters will find the masters of the hunt all too eager to let player characters use them for the sake of hunting these mean bastards down!
• Player characters or hounds may be injured by the shadows.
• Even hounds not from the drabwurld will instinctively act to kill these shadows.

Please use this post to plot for the month and C&P the following!
The next Calender of Events post will go up toward the end of August to cover all of September. Weather in-game will be frequent sunshine, hot blue skies, interspersed with fierce summer storms. Nights will be primarily rainy. Finally, if you have any queries about the event, please direct them to the Questions thread and we'll get back to you ASAP. Thank you!

HE'S A BIG BUTT. but, yeah, i think he's going to begin this event locked up in his room and all the terror drags him out. LET HIM FAIL AT SAVING YOU, since i'm pretty sure his sword isn't going to work. but, hey, at least he can make Greek Fire and also open doors?

wait until i fuck it up, you need to be there with a camera

FAIL AWAY, BB! Piper will be failing hard too with her dagger and/or sword.

this would be the perfect time to have a golden, glowing sarcophagus around ...

lets not talk about that, either.

but when it's around the time the event starts, if there's no catch-all log going on, we should totally do one together! i imagine they're on the same floor, since the demigods are in the prince/ss suites, so luke will totally come out of his hiding hole to assist piper and then try to retreat later.

Sounds good! We can say it's early on in the event before they hear the word that makes them shrink back? So it can be a thread of fighting and falling back when weapons don't work?

yes! that sounds like a good idea to me -- and it'll help me get luke involved. what a great first impression piper gets of the guy who tried to bring down olympus. (also, will piper be charmspeaking at the shadows at this point?)

Not yet! I don't want to make it too easy for her. At first she's going to try her weapons and get banged up a bit by the shadows until she learns the word.

This is unless you'd rather she did charmspeak the word to help them out, then we could say they meet further into the event?

i think early in the event would be a good place! the charmspeak would clue luke right in on her being a demigod, and maybe we could play with the whole "i don't know you're from home but you have a cool dagger that's being useless right now can we high speed out of here?"

Sure! I think Jason might tell Piper about Luke, so Luke could hold off on giving his name so she doesn't know who he is either?

[personal profile] marred 2014-07-31 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
that sounds like a good plan to me! i hope she doesn't mind being known as "hey!" for the duration of their little tangoing. :p

i don't think luke knows about piper at all. (from memory, i don't think she's come up in any threads.) i'm not sure if piper would know about luke in any way in the hoo books (and i'm not sure if the boys are going to tell him she's here in drabwurld) so it seems like we have a nice clean slate to have these two meet and be none the wiser!

[personal profile] mesmerism 2014-07-31 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
No problem at all!

AFAIK, I don't think he's ever mentioned in front of her, but the books are so dense and action-packed, I could be wrong. And yes! She can just think he's a good fighter and all that.

[personal profile] marred 2014-07-31 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
i'm cool with playing it whichever way you want to since she's post-him! i don't know who knows about luke in the hoo universe aside from those who had been in the pjo books, so it doesn't worry me either way. but it'll be cool to see it all play out. jason wasn't told about luke's involvement in the titan war until after they shared a friendship necklace. it's nice to see it happen again, but with someone less dumb than him ...
mesmerism: (jason ♀ and less it shall unbe)

[personal profile] mesmerism 2014-07-31 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, since IDK yet what Jason will tell her, I feel it'll be easiest to have them just not know that the other is a demigod/is Luke, that guy who fucked shit up. They can just go out to have a good time and then they'll feel so attacked right now.

And hey now, Jason's not dumb! Just... stupidly heroic...

i'm ... not going to reply to any of this because, wow, you just meme'd me, and i honestly feel so attacked right now. i'm going to punch you like orlando bloom did to justin bieber.

but that sounds like a good plan! it'll be interesting to see how it builds! C:

Heh, sorry! I'm a Justin Wiener.

I agree!
