ANNOUNCEMENT & PLOTTING FOR EVENT 006

[erkumods]

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...

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: Eggplant - Taste this deliciously thick squash and you may notice a bit of emptiness in your shirt...and the tightening of your pants as breasts flatten to stiff pectorals and changes occur in other areas.It’s a new you, maybe you’ll take yourself for a test ride. No changes occur to male-bodied persons. Clams - Seafood to your liking? You may notice your voice being a little higher and your clothes sitting awkwardly on your frame as your body shifts to accommodate its new form. Depending on how you dress, you might be giving someone close by an eyefull...but maybe you don’t mind. No changes occur to female-bodied persons. Melon - Enjoy your juicy fruits, but you may notice a few other things looking just as juicy. Breasts swell, full to burst out of whatever top they may be hiding in. You don’t have breasts? Well, maybe now you do. Or you’re a guy who’s noticed your coconuts are getting a bit heavy. Cake - Sweets for the sweet, but you know what they say about moderation? No idea. Smash that cake and find yourself dealing with a bit more cushion for your pushin’. Your buttocks will swell in shape and size, prominent as if urging someone to grab it. Roast beef - Nothing you’re wearing fits anymore. Your skin gleams as muscles bulge. You look like you’ve spent years pumping iron and never missed a leg day in your life. What will you do with your newfound bulk? Show it off? Knock over someone accidentally walking into you? Maybe someone else will want to try the beef. Shrimp - Everything suddenly seems so much bigger. Like you’re seeing a whole new world. Or looking up at one at least. Whether it’s your entire body, or maybe one or two parts of it, you’ve suddenly learned what the smaller side feels like. But you know they say size doesn’t matter. 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

thanatos | hades

[expiry]

Name: Elia
Contact: tuchanka or just ask me for my discord!

Character: Thanatos
Canon: Hades
A5 Card: Ta-da!
Permissions: Ta-da, take two

Plotting:

• i. the light reborn
  
  guess who hates the sun? that's right! death is not a huge fan of such Brightness, so come overhear him talk smack about helios... let him shift right into your apartment/home/whatever to escape it without realizing you're there... teach him about sunglasses, because he canonically does not know they exist. the sillier the shades, the better...


• ii. set the stage
  
  sorry to say thanatos has no cool skills to offer on this stage, aside from teleporting around, but i can and will throw him into anything other people have planned. do you need an extra? someone to shove into a box so you can magically saw it in half? thanatos is here. he is also here to judge, because what is this modern nonsense...


• iv. in your dreams
  
  when was the last time thanatos slept? a mystery, but he's sleepin' now—and he's here for dreams. dreams! let him experience what it's like to be mortal, both the highs AND the lows! if your character died and you want them to relive that trauma... death has never died, you see, so getting to see/feel it would be like while studying the competition is kind of nifty 🤔 but happy stuff is also a cute cr-building opportunity. than is actually intrigued by mortals who "live with all their hearts," as he says, so let him See It...
  
  or if you want a thanatos-level nightmare that's like, oh no, you failed to do your JOB, now the underworld is falling apart!!! i can make it happen.


• wildcard
  
  i'm generally down for anything! if there's something you want thanatos for, even if it's non-event related, just lmk and we can work something out.

[immolzeth]

Hellooooo there, I would love to get some CR brewin' with this death fella! I'd love to give him a sounding board upon which to grouse about the sunshine. Even is going to be horrified to find out there are actual gods held captive here... and that this god does not know about sunglasses or, say, very large and fashionable hats.

[expiry]

thanatos does have a hood, at least, but sunglasses sound fAKE!!! so yes, please, give me this cr... a whole new world playing softly in the bg as even explains that protective eyewear does, in fact, exist

[immolzeth]

sitting together on a magic carpet, sliding sunglasses onto the god of death's face... beautiful

[expiry]

this is so romantic, what the fuck... pulling out all the stops! zagreus, take notes!

but are you planning to toplevel! i can throw a wildcard at you if so... i am still debating tling myself, or throwing up some closed prompts

[emancipating]

slides in here hi hello i would like some dumb dream sharing pls and ty... or it could be cute, zag dreaming about gardening with his mom or old dreams feat than with long hair and once again finds out how much zag misses it idk the possibilities are endless

[expiry]

you know dream sharing with these two was a given! but hmm, idk, which would work best... gardening sounds so cute, it's like that meme thread all over again. zag, what is this fruit--

and if than visits zag's dream, of course he has long hair, that's just zag's subconscious laying down the law

[emancipating]

let's do it... we can have a pom garden preview before the actual pom garden

hate that zag is going to be distracted by than's hair the whole time, than like zag what are you doing
zag, completely missing the flower bed with the watering can bc he's too busy staring: what?

[expiry]

stop, a pom preview... this is where they get the idea, i'm here for it

i'm also here for zag being distracted by than's luscious! locks! braid them or something, idk... this will be a softe dream all the way down

[dadministrator]

We need to figure out how to get old man frands to meet~

[expiry]

we do! does anything strike your fancy... long hair than can come visit seteth's dreams...

[dadministrator]

I am all for dream shenanigans~ What does long hair Than want to drop in on? Happy dreams, sad dreams, violent dreams, sexy dreams, there's plenty to choose from.

[expiry]

HMM i am not picky tbh, so if you have a preference for their first meeting i am 100% down. he's always interested in seeing mortals live their best lives, so seeing/joining in on that is neat... but he's also here 2 witness death-related trauma, since he handles peaceful deaths? that might be a lot for seteth, though lmfkdhf

[spacedisaster]

Peter can offer his apartment or ship as safe heaven against the cruel sun...or give him the best shades ever made and a nice umbrella.

[expiry]

LFMDKSAFH STOP i need thanatos wearing the mustache shades immediately... than like, is this really what most mortals wear? peter: absolutely.

[spacedisaster]

I love these so much, I saw them and feel in love so I had to share. Let's just say peter just happened to have those inside his ship somewhere, it's filled with weird stuff from all around the galaxy anyway.

jkshajkd that's exactly what he probably told the other guardians. 'Yes this is customary on earth' >_>

Peter's also going to be a pretty lady once he gets to eat some clams later.

[expiry]

PLEASE... maybe one day thanatos can peek inside his ship and be like, damn, mortal, you live like this???

and i definitely need those glasses for him, but oho... ma'am why are there so many good options for this event!

[vegalthon]

Heck yes! I'd love to do some mix of bittersweet dreams; Thanatos can check out some of D&D gods' shoddy work and Oran can, uh, maybe do some lucid dreaming and turn it into not an entirely traumatizing time?

[expiry]

LMFKDF than studying the competition in a dream is sending me... he will definitely Judge! but yes, please, show him some mortal fun... what shenans do y'all get up to when y'all aren't on the verge of death

[vegalthon]

Desperately skirting the edge of being on the verge of death, usually! But that's Fun, so come try it out some time, I don't know, let your hair down or something??

[expiry]

fun fact: than will have his long hair back in all dreams because i have the power...

but yes, please, he will be there to see whatever wildness goes down! are you planning to toplevel?

[antipatheia]

okay, so I got sick and was woefully slow and dead when the intro post went up so first I want to say I'm excited to see Thanatos here????

Anyway, that is definitely not the point! I see that you already have a few bites but Diego here has definitely died in a very traumatic way and I would be down for him to relive it and let Thanatos be part of it somehow. In terms of CR building, I feel like he hasn't really accepted that he died before he got here and it's time that someone beyond the one person that knows him made him actually think about it.

If not, it's totally cool but I wanted to throw that out there because Diego needs to expand his circle of 'friends' (even if he won't really call them that).

[expiry]

aw yeah, more canon-familiar people 🥳 and please, that sounds peak?? i am always interested in than seeing Death that he doesn't have a hand in lmgkfdhg he can definitely try to put his aeons of experience to USE here! time to embrace reality, sir...

are you planning to top level?

[antipatheia]

I wasn't planning like a HUGE top level, but I don't mind writing personal starters on my catch all! I wasn't sure what your full plans were, so I wanted to put my feelers out there first.

But honestly I played Hades for almost three days straight when I bought it and I'm afraid to pick it up again because I'll get lost again.

[expiry]

if you don't mind writing a starter for this dream, i will def throw thanatos at him! time for death incarnate to critique ur death, sir

and GOD that's a mood... i had a solid two weeks to play it, thank god, but it is soooo addicting
