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

barret wallace | final fantasy vii

[ecocentric]

Hello! I hope I'm doing this right, lol

first! I'm Lark, hello. Here's some links: A5 CARD | KINKS | INFO (in progress). Barret's app is in his journal if you want more info. still working on a permissions post, but in general ota w/a preference for characters 20+. ota (f,m, nb) w/a slight lean toward women, and no underage characters please.

Event-wise, the macro/micro and sex swap stuff is something I'd like to avoid, but I am very interested in the dream sharing. I'm pretty open to most dream exploration, including stuff from his canon, or even stuff from his FUTURE canon... he hasn't experienced it but it's dreams! I'd mostly like to play around w/the settings of FF7 canon without doing direct memory share stuff — some elements of his memories will pop up but it'll be pretty surreal bc dreams. And I'm also down for settings outside of his canon, too. I'll just copypasta from his info page to give a sense of the settings I'd be up for exploring in a dream setting:

AUs/what-ifs, canon divergences, fantasy/regency aus, sentinel/guide, bodyguard, modern single dad Barret on the school PTA aus, road trips, postapoc/apoc/zombie aus, pet person, cyberpunk, wild west aus, etc.

so hmu with whatever; I love dream sharing so much!! cannot stress that enough.

As far as Set the Stage, some of the kinks on his card would lend pretty well to that (body worship, roleplay, etc.) so I'm open to plotting on that front too. My only thing is that he won't bang it out w/literally everyone he runs into so it might be just foreplay or teasing w/some people, if it happens at all. He's pretty new so I don't want to culture shock him too badly.

From a gen perspective, Barret will be taking the sunny day to learn how to, with varying levels of success, fish. (He got a fishing rod from Rude) He is also interested in exploration — over time, I think he will be wanting to figure out if there's some form of library/record-keeping, and if not, if it can be built. Since he's stuck here, he very much wants to learn more about what's on the go, and to maybe help other people out too.

I'm still (slowly) tagging some of the TDM threads I have, so I'm up for continuing cr from those too. If you want to plot or just hang or w/e, you can hmu on plurk (GAIAPRIME) or on discord (lark#7777)

[vegalthon]

Hey Lark! I don't think we've had any CR yet, but I'd be down to do some dreamy AU's (since Oran here is a tiefling from a typical fantasy D&D-style world, something that's a blend of backgrounds might be fun?)

I don't usually play Oran as hopping straight to banging either (though he's a lot more dtf since he's acclimatized to fuck island, lol) I just like the thought of him making friends that make him look even noodlier than usual. He's drawn to impassioned people so I can imagine he'd love to chat Barret up some time, event-wise or not!

[ecocentric]

Hello! We haven't had cr yet, no, but I'd be down to start some too. Barret's from a more cyberpunk/futuristic setting, tho there are some less developed areas in his canon (including his hometown), so melding settings in that way wouldn't be too difficult for a dreamshare.

I'm also down for gen cr! Barret is huge and loud so he's ideal for making people look even more like noodles than they would normally. I will keep an eye out for Oran during the event!

[vegalthon]

Sounds super cute! I'm not a FF follower but I'm down for mish-mashing settings to see what brews up just to set up some sweet CR.

[crestsidestory]

sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiides in here for that sweet sweet cr

memory-influenced shared dreams? orrrrrr since Edelgard came from pre-Byleth reappearance CF and has recently learned that in other people's timelines she has both won and lost her war, it could be fun to play around with trading dreams about their potential futures! I'm more into the Set the Stage prompt than Edelgard will be so they could probably work together pretty easily there if you just want to sort of dip his toes into public acts without fullblown sex.

Could also meet in a much more casual way if you want!

[ecocentric]

i'm excited for cr with miss edelgard for sure

It's so hard for me to decide! I think the mem/dream share would be a really good opportunity for them to find some common ground right away but also I love trash... I want to do something saucy. I think since I got a lot of gen bites, I'm leaning a little toward the Set the Stage prompt for the two of them, but I'm fine either way!

[crestsidestory]

turns out most of my plans are gen too so if you're feeling saucy that's totally fine with me! I was just comparing his card to hers and I feel like they have a couple of compatible squares for something like this that could easily end on a minor intimate note instead of a major one? she had to have power play explained to her and is under the impression that it may require roleplay so some combination like that is possible. his leaving marks or body worship squares could also work here here - could be as simple as him kissing up her leg while she's sitting in a place of "honor" and then the urge to put on a show ends and they're both embarrassed and kinda turned on.

she'll certainly feel a formal apology is necessary. her card's here in case you want to see if it sparks any other ideas!

[overannchiever]

Hey! If youre up for something gen, Annette would be happy to hang out with Barret while he fishes. There's a big fish pond behind the monastery-slash-academy where she took classes so it would probably bring back some good memories. She doesn't have a whole lot of patience though, so she's not exactly the best fisher herself.

Also she would be fascinated by his gun arm, please tell her all about the gun arm.

[ecocentric]

The idea of them both being impatient and scaring off fish is so funny and cute to me. They can catch like two fish and be over the moon about it; I'm 100% down for a thread like that!

He will be glad to talk about his weapon to destroy the establishment as well!

[overannchiever]

LMAO two local loudmouths catch one (1) fish, are ecstatic

that sounds real cute tho, let's do it! do you know if you'll be top leveling at all? otherwise i can try and cobble together some sort of starter for us.

[zechs_isonfire]

Hi! How are you feeling about new CR? :)

It might be fun to do some lighter dream sharing, considering how there's war trauma everywhere.

Plus, they hadn't met in the real world yet, so it's very possible they both will believe they've just dreamed each other up? :3

[ecocentric]

I just got here, so all cr's new cr to me!

Something more lighthearted would be fun, definitely. Do you have anything in mind you wanted to explore?

[zechs_isonfire]

Nothing in particular!

It can be silly, it can relate to FFVII canon, it can be random - it can gen or lead to smut, I'm down for whatever.

I'm imagining they'll both be a lot more open than they would normally, since they're thinking they're dreaming, so it could be a good time!

[karintous]

eyyyy SO how about some dream stuff! i don't know a ton about what happens in ff7 other than that the gold saucer exists, so i'd have to lean on you as far as setting goes if we do ff7-related dream stuff

from that list you supplied, the modern single dad Barret at the PTA sounds super cute to me if you don't mind getting dream baby Ema... her parents died when she was young, let her have a dad!! otherwise, bodyguard and wild west things sound fun to me too!

[ecocentric]

We talked a lil bit on plurk about it, but I would love tiny baby Ema and her new dad Barret in a wholesome thread. It would give him reason to check up on her afterward and later down the line too, I think... he'd be instantly more concerned about her well-being after meeting her as a kid bc he's a big softie.

[karintous]

YEAH LET'S DO IT!! Ema will probably try to be cool about it afterward but I imagine a bit of her will still think of him as her what-if dad...

I'mma toss some ideas at you! Barret getting called into school because Ema's been feuding with bullies? Barret and Ema at the science fair? Ema haphazardly wants to join a sports team and desperately needs coaching?

Or other! I am really here for anything that involves cute family content

[emancipating]

may i offer another for modern single dad barret on the school pta?? let zag have a proper dad for all of like an hour pls and ty. aside from that tho i'm down for exploring more of the ff7 setting; it's been a while since i played the og game, but i'm familiar with it + the remake! it's gonna be wild and wacky for zagreus either way lmfao

if all else fails, zag can help him with fishing 👍🏻

[ecocentric]

omg he will be the most excessively proud dad ever to Zagreus, I'm here for this! He may not be able to make up for the indeterminate amount of neglect Zag experienced but on god he will try. There doesn't even have to be a battle to the death for a compliment.

[emancipating]

stop he might actually cry, barret please... but im so down for this family cr and lord knows he needs more supportive father figures in his life. maybe we could do something with like high school zag on the track team and barret going to one of his meets?? idk im down for anything and everything tbh

anyway if you were going to toplevel i'll be sure to slide him over!

[bottombitch]

Hi Lark! I'm Sau/Saudade and I play Gladiolus Amicitia (thirst bait from FFXV) and Aoba Seragaki (gay protagonist of smutty disaster game, DRAMAtical Murder).

I love Barret and FF7R and I'm definitely open to AU dream sharing if you're down! For general CR purposes, Aoba is mechanically inclined so maybe he can help maintain or mod his gatling gun? Gladio meanwhile is joining the militia and tends to go monster hunting and is kind of a gym rat. I'm also down for smut and I can swing a small dom given Aoba's other side but the same could technically be said of Gladio seeing I'm pretty sure Barret is bigger than he is.

[ecocentric]

Hi Sau, good to meet you. Both of those options sound good for gen cr to me — it'll be a little while before Barret lets anyone that isn't him fiddle with his gun-arm, but I had plans over time for him to reach out to someone for something alone those lines, so I'd be happy to thread that with Aoba. As for Gladio, Barret will likely be doing monster hunting of his own once he sees a need for it, and so they'd easily be able to run into each other.

As far as AU dream sharing, I'm down for that too! And smut, tho I'm kinda slowburning it a bit as I get him acclimated and so that wouldn't be fullblown smut right away, if that's alright. Is there anything dream-sharing wise you'd like to explore?

[fistsofchange]

I've been kind of flaky lately because, you know...

/gestures at everything

BUT I still want this CR to be a thing! I imagine that Neo Hong Kong (the city Lin lived in before she was warped out here) probably felt pretty similar to the Midgar slums. Also her whole world is a post-nuclear-war wasteland so like exactly the kind of future Barret created AVALANCHE to prevent.

[ecocentric]

Sure! Did you want to do like a dream/memory share, or...? I'm not really clear.

[fistsofchange]

Dream share, yeah. Maybe do like a weird fusion of Midgar and NHK or maybe just let her explore the sector 7 slums or what-have-you. I dunno.

[aflowers]

Okay so I think I already told you that I'm 100% down for something with these two. Happy to do something dream-related, or Aerith is more than happy to try and help him work out how things work around the Nameless City too! Basically whatever you need. She's just happy that he's here. ♥
