ANNOUNCEMENT & PLOTTING FOR EVENT 006
We apologize for the lateness of this post. Things have been very busy for your mod team and we know many others within the last few weeks. So today we are putting up the plotting post for our November event and the event itself will be posted late Friday or early Saturday to give everyone time to plot if they would like.
Now, without further ado...
Now, without further ado...
| PLOTTING 006: FANTASTIC FEASTS & WHERE TO FIND THEM |
I. THE LIGHT REBORN  You will awaken to golden light beaming through the windows, cracks, and holes of wherever you may be living. It’s comfortable and soothing, inviting. What is it? Look outside and you will see bright blue skies and an undisturbed warmth beaming down on you. The sun has been revealed! Thanks to the efforts of the new citizens of the island, the weather has cleared, clouds pulling back to the edges of the fog, allowing the sun and its heat to shine over the Nameless City. For one day a week, and that day is today. A rainbow breaks over the sky and will remain there the entire day, but it draws the eyes of anyone walking outside, urging them to follow its colorful rays. What will you find at the end of the rainbow?  Follow the pull of the light to the ruins and find them fully restored to their former glory, revealing both a shrine and House of Worship. Worship to what? The robots give no direct information as to that, but they speak in high praise of the work that led to its revitalization. The grand building seems to shimmer when stared at for too long, and something about it draws the eye, as if urging people towards its doors. Come, come. The robots are more than ready to encourage entry. Inside, there is a grand foyer with one winding staircase and each side leading upstairs on the east and west halls. Those halls lead to hallways with rooms on each side. Comfortable apartments with one room or two, all renovated for habitation.They do not have a lot of amenities (you will not find fancy bathtubs or kitchens or hanging sex swings), but they have running water (might be cold), a bathroom with a stand-in shower, some furniture, and a small welcome basket with hygiene supplies, condoms, and lube. If a person were to move in today, they would have all they need for simplistic living. II. SET THE STAGE  But between those staircases in the center is a stone corridor covered in carvings of people in various positions engaging happily in their carnal delights. Walk down this corridor to find yourself in what looks to be a temple not unlike an amphitheater. Tall columns, stone steps, soft glowing torches that carry a scent of something familiar. Cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, cedar, musk, and more...the scent is different for every person, but it feels familiar...makes your heart beat faster in what you might think is excitement. Anticipation. Follow the steps down to a circular stage at the center of the temple. Stare out at the stone seats and you will be overcome with the sensation of being watched, even if no one else is there. You are a performer, the center of attention. Your audience awaits. What shall you perform for them today? A song, a dance, an act of temptation, all are possible. You may feel unlike yourself with your need to be whatever you think your audience needs. And what your mind conjures the temple provides. Whether costume, props, or intricate scenery that feels all too real, the stage is for you and you will do anything to please those adoring fans. Maybe a fan will even seek to join you. The effects will last until your performance ends, or an auspicious act is completed. III. FEAST AND BE...  But do not feel as if you have only been brought here to perform for the masses! The robots will reassure you that they’ve prepared a great thank you gift for all your hard work. They will lead you through wide doors to a huge dining hall with a long table filled to the brim with steaming, chilled, and other delectable goods. A feast has been readied with foods from every world the inhabitants hail from, although some more than others. There is something here for everyone. Eat, eat and be merry! And if some of the foods might cause certain changes, it’s not a big deal, is it? Some of them may even be to your liking:
Effects of the foods can be combined, but will only last for up to three hours or until an Auspicious Act is completed. VI. IN YOUR DREAMS  After you’ve taken your fill, the drowsiness sets in. You may decide to make your way back to your home, take advantage of the many open apartments in the House, or succumb to your full stomach right where you sit. Sleep calls, loosening your grip on the waking world, wrapping you in its arms and pulling you into slumber. You dream many things. Of anything. Memories so close to real you could be reliving your best or worst day in the moment. Grand fantastical adventures so unreal but you could never imagine it any other way. Nightmares, so horrifying, they would shake you from your sleep at any other time. Your deepest desires brought to the fore in the only place you would share them. Whatever you dream, it feels real to you and you live the experience as if it happens to your true self. Or maybe this isn’t a memory...not one of yours, anyway. This world doesn’t feel like your own. This nightmare is not seated within your own fears. These desires, they aren’t your own needs and urges. It’s as if you are viewing the world through the mind of someone else. Someone who happens to be there right with you, experiencing and living in this world just as you are. Do they know you don’t belong here? Or is it all as real to them as it feels it could be to you? But at least you aren’t alone. You will awaken from these dreams remembering everything as if it happened to your true self, clear and vibrant, but no physical harm or changes will carry over. Dreams can continue to occur anytime you fall asleep throughout the rest of the month. Any Auspicious Acts that occur within the dreams still count toward rewards and will show as completed on your A5 card. N A V I G A T I O N |

Plotting:
II. Even will be seduced by the stage! That is to say, a wizard can’t resist showing off, and he dreams of being a greater wizard than he currently is. He’s going to be doing a magic show, at first with simple spells like Burning Hands, but moving on to pantomiming spells he doesn’t actually know yet — bigger, flashier works that the stage will provide pyrotechnics for.
Want somebody to magically lift your character and fly them around? Change their colour, size or shape (or at least experience the illusion of such)? He’ll be taking audience volunteers. He’ll be wildly embarrassed about this showiness once he comes to his senses, however. That was the opposite of playing it cool.
III. After the hot springs, Even is going to be very cautious about eating these offerings. Once he learns of their relatively simple effects, however, he may sample the wares. He’s going to clam it up, folks, although he probably won’t take this new bod for a test ride with anyone he doesn’t already know.
He may try nibbling the roast beef at some point, too, just for fun. I’m toying with this making him more devilish instead of just beefier.
Also, more in the vein of gen threads, come sample some tasty treats from the world he hails from. Roast roc? Braised basilisk? Scrambled cockatrice eggs? He'll be ridiculously excited to share some delicacies from home, and of course, Faerunian alcohol.
VI. I would love to have Even visit some dreams. Take him for a ride!
His life has been reasonably gentle and simple, so his dreams will likely not be very dramatic. However, do you want your character to either visit a magic academy with all kinds of dorm shenanigans and arcane learning, or a fantastical big city where mermaids visit the docks and gryphon riders police the skies? Or maybe you just want to see where Even grew up, maybe meet his sisters? Then his dreams are for you!
(I’m still working away at some Halloween Party threads so I may be a slightly slow start this month, but I expect it will pick up once some of those wrap up.)
Tiefthings
1) Breeding shenanigans (but I think Oran would rather take the clams on that simply due to Even's Responsibilities and Oran's growing kinks in the fantasy of being bred, lol)
2) Some demonic beef would be fun if only because they're nerds and this is like a classic nerd fantasy? I'm not really sure where we could have a thread GO with that but maybe just a little goofing off?
3) I'd love to explore more of Oran's pre-amnesia past via dreams. I currently have been dropping breadcrumbs for his CR here and there, and Even's probably the best suited to explore some of his abyssal past if only because of tief-things. So... if you don't mind buckling up and taking a trip down unmemory lane, I'd be really pleased!
Re: Tiefthings
Order of operations -- smut first or scary dreams first? I figure silliness with demon beef can be if we manage to finish the other things!

I think it'd be funny to contrast their previous meeting by throwing them somewhere very upright and formal, at least to start the thread off. A ball and then some sort of ominous intrigue that forces them to work together? a nice little compact AU in dream form!
no subject
- Cornelia and Even are interrupted by someone who needs Cornelia for Important Things and either Even volunteers to come along (he has relevant information/skills) or he's forced to come along (for overhearing something he shouldn't have? for being a person of interest? because Cornelia's supposed to be responsible for him?)
- OR one of them/both of them leave the ball for whatever reason and walk in on something they shouldn't, setting off a crazy chain of events.
- OR one of them is the source of the intrigue and that's sort of why they're together in the first place.
- OR something else!
Also as a side note, Britannia can be pretty damned xenophobic. We can introduce it as background tension if that's something you wanna play with, or we can either ignore it/handwave it away since it's just a dream or come up with a reason why it doesn't affect Even. Whatever sounds best to you is cool w/me!no subject
And then, of course, they get in trouble together. I like the notion of them walking in or witnessing something they shouldn't, maybe looped in with Even's secret scary demon status?
Honestly I love this. Court shenanigans are so juicy? And this is like a little snapshot of the best kind of au
no subject
Maybe the intrigue is either a coverup or a setup involving Even/his family/his people? With the ultimate goal of causing enough unrest to incite a war? Or plans for a Red Wedding-style massacre? Britannia is, uh, also pretty damned brutal and bloodthirsty. Geass (a sort of supernatural ability bestowed upon people via contracts with immortals) is also an option, since it is a super duper secret that even Cornelia doesn't know about until it slaps her in the face.
Or if you wanna operate on a smaller scale, we could say that they've walked in on people who seem to know that Even isn't what he appears to be and are plotting to leak that information to the entire world? Which could have massive repercussions for both Britannia and Even's country, so they gotta be stopped somehow without drawing any extra attention to them? Or something?
I don't know! Thoughts?
no subject
That could dovetail well with Geass as you describe it. Granting humans powers via contracts is very much a devil thing. That could play in; maybe the demonic bloodline that Even is a part of is either popping up unexpectedly in her world, or they've discovered someone trying to make a Geass-style pact with his ancestor Asmodeus, and Even's there to sniff someone out or advise? Or to try and answer the question of how Asmodeus's influence is spreading from Even's homeland to Cornelia's, and sort out how to stop it quietly.
Having someone looking to leak Even's identity could easily be a good inciting incident whatever angle we take, tbh. There are options! and I also don't mind going with the flow and shifting angles if something else makes more sense as we carry on the thread!
no subject
We can easily set this post-war and say that there's a gaggle of grumpy former nobles who are mad that they don't get to be nobles anymore and bitter that the surviving royal family members have aligned themselves, and therefore Britannia, with an organisation sort of akin to the UN but with significantly more power and influence. That'll give us a nice bounty of motivations to play around with when the time comes because "why would they want to leak your identity?" is a question with so many potential answers that they'll really have to work to figure it out.
And yeah, we can totally work out the details as we go!
Are you planning to top level or do you wanna do a separate post again? Either way, I'm cool with writing the starter.
no subject
I'm not 100% sure whether I'll toplevel yet or not, so maybe a separate post again? That worked well last time.
also: I'm pretty much entirely canonblind to Code Geass -- would it be helpful for this if I did some reading up first?
no subject
And it's up to you, but I don't think it'll be necessary. I can include a brief HERE IS WHERE THINGS STAND note in the starter and after that we can just do whatever we want w/out worrying about canon compliance or w/e. Though if you have questions, I'd be happy to answer them!
