OOC EVENT PLOTTING: Who Do These Belong To? (January 2024)





OOC EVENT PLOTTING: JANUARY 2024

GUIDELINES.
This is the OOC plotting post for the January 2024 event! Here you can find brief summaries of the various event prompts which may help you engage in plotting with other players. To participate, utilize the code at the bottom of the page. This is not mandatory! Feel free to plot here or in private with other players, or simply wait to be part of the event.

NOTE: This is NOT the event log! The event log will go up on the 19th of this month.
THE NIGHT STARTS TO FALL IN YOUR SPINE.
Between Friday, January 19 and Monday, January 22, characters will feel oddly compelled to pay a visit to the media convention being hosted at the city's convention center over the weekend. The compulsion is a gentle one, making characters feel intrigued by the idea of the convention and interested in knowing more, but there will not be a compulsion aspect that forces them to attend.

The convention center itself is a modern-looking building of glass and metal, letting in plenty of natural light for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Inside, the hallways are wide and carpeted, and all of the panel rooms are kept clean and tidy. Many of the panel rooms are dark and empty, of course, since there's just the one convention taking place right now, but it's easy to see how the place might bustle when there's more than one event going on.

Upon arrival, characters will be put into cosplay (either by force or by choice), and will have the option to explore the artist's alley, dealer's hall, and the panel rooms around the convention center that will play host to panels on various topics.
PEOPLE TURN TO YOU IN WONDER.
Characters who attend the convention will be put in cosplay upon arrival! This cosplay can be an outfit of their own from home; could be the outfit of a friend or enemy from home; or could be the outfit of another current or former City resident. It could also be something completely silly, like an inflatable t-rex costume.

Those who aren't satisfied with their original costume can make use of the dressing rooms to change. However, entering the dressing room to change doesn't mean they'll get a costume that's better than the one they're already wearing—the new costumes are "random" (although OOCly left up to player choice, naturally) and may be even sillier, skimpier, or less suitable than the one they had on before.

The longer a character wears a costume, the more they will begin to take on some of the traits of the character whose costume they're wearing. This can be fairly broad (e.g. someone puts on an "adventurer's costume" and begins to behave more adventurously) or fairly specific (e.g. someone puts on Gale Dekarios' robes and starts speaking in precisely his accent). The costume may also be accompanied by physical changes to make the cosplay more "accurate," such as changes to eye or hair color, and may even convey a weak version of that character's canon powers.

However, coming into contact with someone who knows the character well and would be able to tell that they're not acting like themselves is enough to break the effect and return the character to their normal personality.
WHO DREAMED OF FIRE, OF FLIGHT.
The Dealer's Hall and Artist's Alley are what one might expect from a smallish-sized convention: a variety of items available for "sale," from figurines to keychains to art prints and everything in between.

Some of the merchandise features the same mascot characters as were available as prizes at the carnival, while others feature either animals/monsters from character canons or recognizable characters either here in the city or from back home. Characters are welcome to take things home with them as they desire without consequence!

At the very back of the aisle is the 18+ section, full of "spicy" art and doujinshi. For the most part, the faces in these books and prints aren't visible, similar to the pornography available in the media store—but if your character searches hard enough, they might be able to find themselves represented somewhere.
