OOC EVENT PLOTTING: The Nights Were Humid, Still. (September 2023)





OOC EVENT PLOTTING: SEPTEMBER 2023

GUIDELINES.
This is the OOC plotting post for the September 2023 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.
WE WERE DREAMING, WAITING FOR NIGHT.
The new park is a permanent location that is open to residents 24/7 as there are no fences nor gates. It's larger than the one near City Hall and has more potential for exploring as well as different features from its cousin. For those that are familiar, it will evoke thoughts of New York's Central Park with its mixture of open areas contrasting with thick woods. Paved walkways, freshwater ponds, picnic areas, and a couple of playgrounds can all be found throughout the park. Along with these, residents may stumble upon other natural and man-made areas such as rocky outcrops, unmarked trails, bicycle paths, fountains, and other things typically found in large urban parks—minus the wildlife. It can be a romantic setting as easily as it can be a horrific one depending on the time of day as well as the company that you keep.
THEN THE HEAT BROKE, THE NIGHT WAS CLEAR.
Located in the southern half of the large park is a small fun fair that will open to the public the evening of September 19 with operating hours from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM City time. Before opening, none of the rides or games will be operational; however, there will be fliers advertising its opening all around the city on billboards and telephone poles, and adventurous characters are able to hop the fence and explore if they so desire. However, they will not be able to turn on any of the rides or games, and will not be able to break into the rides or booths under any circumstances.

Upon opening, there will be a number of rides running themselves on a schedule that allows people time to get on, have some fun, and then get back off again. Among those named are a merry-go-round, mirror fun house, bumper cars, a tunnel of love, and knock-off Gravitron. Though there's something unsettling about the music they play, or maybe how shaky they feel, there's no apparent danger anywhere. Residents are encouraged to enjoy themselves with a group of friends, or maybe a date, and experience all that the fun fair has to offer! The fair will not be open forever, though; its gates will close permanently at 11:00 PM on September 30 and all traces will disappear that night to leave a large, open field behind in the park.

This is a good, ol' fashioned carnival designed to bring together groups of people for thrills and fun. Though there are no overt game mechanics at play, we encourage everyone to get creative and add their own flair to this month's event. If you have any questions about player plots you'd like to run, please revisit the Events & Interactions section of the F.A.Q. and drop us a comment on the mod contact for any additional questions.
IT SEEMED AN HONOR TO HAVE A MOUTH.
As quintessential as the rides, no fun fair is complete without rigged games or greasy food. Some of the notable mentions are a shooting gallery, dart throwing, and the ubiquitous ring toss. You may think that it's easier to cheat at a game when there are no attendants telling you made-up rules, but you'll still find it difficult to win yourself one of the many prizes hanging from the ceilings. There's a plethora of food to enjoy with all the classics: corn dogs, fries, funnel cake, pizza, shaved ice, and fried junk food.

Despite the potential for danger from the shooting gallery and balloon dart games, both are designed to be as harmless as possible—the bullets are rubber, and the darts are made of plastic. While they will still leave a bruise, there shouldn't be risk of blood loss. The shooting gallery guns are chained in place, unable to be stolen. Removing the darts from their stall will result in thiefs walking in a tight circle that always brings them back in hopes the darts will be restored to their rightful place.

Though the food and games are free, the prizes are not—anyone who attempts to steal prizes without winning the games first will find themselves misplacing their items before leaving the carnival. If residents become aware of this phenomenon and try extra hard to focus on not losing their stolen prize, it will nevertheless slip from their hands and be lost—though a keen eye might see it back in its rightful place at the game stall. If you have the right temperament, this could become a game in and of itself!

Additionally, if there are any fair games or foods that have not been explicitly mentioned above, players are welcome to assume they can be found. Nothing as extravagant as a theme park or amusement park will be present as all of the stalls are designed to be mobile—this is a traveling carnival, after all. Similarly, players are welcome to design their own brand of unsettling game prizes as long as none of them can be used as an actual weapon or to otherwise harm fellow fair-goers.

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Bella
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] coordination, PM, Discord on request
ABOUT YOU: Hi!! I'm addicted to mobage and I've been playing A Lot of Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact lately. Also a lot of Rune Factory 3 Special since that just came out recently in english... I'm EST and my tagging pace kind of varies depending on how tiring my work day is, but if you ask me to focus on any threads I'll make sure to prioritize those.

kromer

[personal profile] gripper 2023-09-18 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Kromer
AGE: (wiggles hand) Adult
CANON: Limbus Company
CANON POINT: Canto III, specifically in the middle of her boss fight before she turns into a total abomination due to the Golden Bough's influence.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Kromer's a high-ranking official in N.Corporation, aka Nagel und Hammer, who leads a section referred to as Inquisitors. They're zealots who worship the flesh and hate metal replacements, and this probably extends to machines that act like humans, too. They consider it filthy and a mockery! Fun stuff. However, they're more or less the minority in the Wing at least when it comes to fervor, so it isn't like everyone there thinks that way... so Kromer, too, is capable of dialing it back and acting like a reasonable person. Not every polite person is a lunatic, but there are more polite lunatics than you think, etc.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application / Opt-Out

EVENT PLOTTING: Kromer's not exactly the type to go to the fair, but she'll probably hear her hallway-mates making a fuss and go beyond just "seeing what's new". I'll take anything anyone wants to do though!!! I won't be topleveling on the event, so watch out for tags from me... or plan something out, whichever!
OTHER PLANS: Kromer has a catch-all! If there's anything specific you want to do, let me know and I can write up a starter for you.
CONTENT WARNING: She has her opt-out which has a fun list of things that can show up in Project Moon games, and it has an extra section for her specifically because she's just that special.

angela

ANGELA
AGE: (wiggles hand) It's Complicated, but adult.
CANON: Library of Ruina
CANON POINT: After killing Roland and the other librarians in her alternate bad end, achieved by not finishing all of her realizations; the only one she's missing is Hokma's floor.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Angela is the director and head librarian of... well, The Library! A massive structure in the City, it houses millions of books and tons of knowledge, from the mundane to things that would normally either get you killed by a corporation or memory wiped. She created it so that she could learn about the outside world and find people who'd been touched by the Light so that she could then take that Light and achieve her goals: becoming human and living freely, and spitting in her creator's face. She's accomplished at least one of these.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application / Opt-out

EVENT PLOTTING: And in exact opposite of Kromer, Angela will be trying anything and everything! She's always wanted to go to a carnival (that isn't the 8'o'Clock Carnival back in her City), so she'll be voraciously trying everything. I'm interested in her going through the Tunnel of Love in particular because I think it's funny, but she's open for literally anything and everything. But also like with Kromer, I won't be topleveling for this event, so I'll mainly be tagging out and/or if you plan something with me that's where I'll be.
OTHER PLANS: She has a bookstore now, named The Bookstore! Come visit. She also has a catch-all this month—let me know if you want a starter and I can write you one, and she's has a toplevel at the Art Club meeting and the Story Club meeting.
CONTENT WARNING: She also similarly has an opt-out because Project Moon, but she's more inclined to bringing up Terrible Shit that's happened in her narration... though this event probably won't trigger that.

I keep needing to resist tagging Angela everywhere, charmed by everything she gets up to... BUT CARNIVAL TIME FOR SURE. Is there anything specific that you'd like?
worldexecute: (24)

[personal profile] worldexecute 2023-09-18 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
PLEASE tag me everywhere... i cannot get enough of yesod, grips him tightly. and HMMmmm not really, i'll probably wait for the event post itself to see if there's anything super particular since the plot post is a little barebones (thinking) they could win prizes for the other librarians together. try fair food. BUMPER CARS!! bumper cars.

I need to have Hyth drop by the Bookstore sometime. It's something that would abolutely 100% be his jam. I just keep getting hung up on what story he would tell for the exchange part of things.

I UNDERSTAND... i'm cheating because the library literally collected people's stories and i can use abnormality info as stories too. some of them actually have stories with them so that's extra cheating— big or small as long as it's a story angela will take it though. she's not picky

touches u. i continue to be canonblind to library of ruina/projmoon in general but kaveh's hit up some librarians already so im throwing dan heng at you.

dan heng would love to visit the bookstore, that's likely literally the only place he'll like in this city once he gets past the whole ABJECT PARANOIA phase of things. it helps that (if we want to keep the tdm thread!!) that he knows angela a little.

GRIPS YOU TIGHTLY of course we can keep the tdm thread!! sorry i've been so slow on it... on tags in general. work + mood dippage, oof. please visit her bookstore, she will enjoy frequent customers who don't live there (midnight. fearne by virtue of the fact angela is there most of the time)
