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!

Will non-domestic canines also feel compelled to attack the creatures, and if so, would that extend to sentient ones?

Minor, but I believe you mean 3 August, not 3 July for the Redgate log?

As there is no audience with the monarchs this month, if Clarisse were to request a boon with the intention to present it to the monarchs as a gift, would she be able to schedule a private audience with the monarchs in order to do so?

NAME: miyou.
CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: clarisse la ru(d)e.
FANDOM(S): percy jackson & the olympians.
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: THE BATTLE FOR THE SILMARIL. was basically her fault. she now has celegorm's shard, though i'm not sure what she intends to do with it yet (probably return it to maglor once the guilt settles in). she's mostly dealing with the aftermath of the war atm.
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: SHE HAS FOUR GIANT DOGS THAT ARE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN. might have one of the big bad shadows try to attack clarisse and the dogs basically be like LOL NO. other than that, i'm pretty open to anything! clarisse will most likely be trying to stay under the radar for a while until the dust settles from the war. and won't it be a nice surprise when she finds out celegorm is alive again!
gordianknots: In a room of strangers I guess I'm glad I don't belong (We are genii)

NAME: Meg
CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Waver Velvet, Lord El-Melloi II etc.
FANDOM(S): Fate/zero
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: Waver was a part of the throw down with Reynard recently, and is trying to figure out how he can manipulate the situation to his favour right now! He feels he's done a bit of a miscalculation, and being reported as dead on the network has not helped. Otherwise he's been following his travel itnterary! Presently, he is a little tongue tied about what he can and can't say about the Reynard incident as well.
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: HI WAVER WILL BE GOING TO REDGATE! If anyone would like to run into Waver, especially since he's on the Unseelie side of things, let's get in touch! He's running more messages for Morla, and he is extremely hesitant about the contents (which he has not been told about in regards to specifics) thereof. Ditto the fact that he's pretty unsure about how he's supposedly completeing a deal with Reynard - something he's considering renegging on, depending on how his audience with Morla does.

As for the event: if you want something to help hunt and track some of the Lawkamercyme, Waver is game. If you give him a wide enough berth, he is quite willing to deploy his friendly AI mercury blob to get a location. (He just would like to continue to keep it fairly underwraps as far as the extent of it's abilities.)

Ah, but below that it says there is no audience with the monarchs regarding boons?

Do native OCs count towards your three player character cap?

Will anything like fire have an effect on the Lawkamercyme, even if it's only to push them back?

NAME: jade.
CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: luke castellan & zuko!
FANDOM(S): pjo & atla.
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: luke's basically dealing with the aftermath of his memory being broadcasted (by not dealing at all) and the battle of the silmaril, where he's sort of been injured pretty uncomfortably. zuko just got in, so, irritating the fuck out of him!
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: right now, luke is going to basically be useless and stay in his room to wallow and probably not take care of himself (or hopefully get someone to speed up the healing of his injuries!) he'll probably figure out to shout the name and will be trying to push the shadows back — and even help anyone out who happens to ask! zuko will be trying to firebend at the shadows ... and telling the imps to fuck off if they come near him, so, being hopeless, essentially.

NAME: Dino
CHARACTER(S) PLAYED: Harry Dresden
FANDOM(S): The Dresden Files
RECENT IN-GAME PLANS: He's brand new.
NEW PLANS FOR THIS EVENT: Harry's going to strike out from Caer Scima as soon as possible; he's going to want nothing to do with being in service to anyone fae related. He will also be stubborn and probably not get involved in the use of the faerie rings, so he will be walking/going on horseback the entire way.

I figure by the time the event rolls around, he'll be wandering around La Llorona. I'm thinking it would be fun if he ended up lost in Quendi or had to be dragged to the Pool of Souls to recover (because he will not be taking any food given to him at court; again, stubborn).

Anyone want to help him fend off shadows in the woods?

Other than HTML and things I actually have a LEGITIMATE QUESTION TOO

About NATIVE OC APPS because that is so exciting to me because I have the perfect character for this!

Will they be native as in the sense of 'born in drabwurld' or native as in 'were dragged from the world forever ago so are essentially native' (I recall vaguely Reynard was dragged here as a shardholder but is now essentially a native npc?)

Also if we have an idea of how to integrate them / relate them to NPCs, can we pitch it once they pass the test!

I know you are going to release info later I am just EXCITED sorry I will get back in my box now
