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...

| 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 |

Oh no, that could be really sweet and I love that. He so rarely gets to interact with anyone else with an acrobatic or performance nature and he really does feel so at home with it. Honestly the way he fights is like a gymnast half the time, it's gotten him dubbed "nimble pest" lol.
And actually!! I was thinking overnight, and there's another dream prompt I was considering that would be an actual proper performance like he used to and give insight into actually why he does/he'd actually be more open and willing to talk in a dream than gloss past it with an innocuous half-truth like he does most of the time. It'd be both sweet and bittersweet. The one in the temple, he'll definitely be skittish and guarded and balk as soon as he realizes she's there—which could be cute, but she'd have to nudge him lmao. Up to you!
no subject
Though she is the type to be encouraging and all that, I definitely think the dream thing has much more potential! I'm very familiar with DGM and adore Allen so this should definitely be a bittersweet and sweet experience overall, I think!
no subject
And yeah! Since you're familiar, the dream would feature him performing with Mana like he did as a child before the other runs off, except it'd be him grown up now. Admittedly painted in the rosier way he looks back on it now as opposed to what it was, idk if you're up on the current arc since it's finally covering Allen's actual circus backstory or the novel it's paralleling, but oh man. Hoo boy. It's dark and fucked up (and full of CWs) and sad. I don't think the dream would dip into that at all since it's buried so deep, but it would definitely hint at the sadness between him and Mana. But there are a million directions it could go that just depend on where the thread/cr goes in a full array of sweet and sad. I'm excited 🎉 She's the kind of character he responds to very well too, baw. Cheerful and kind but spunky too while covering up being deeply sad/fucked up/lol hi survivor guilt. If I remember what I've absorbed via osmosis about Persona!
tl;dr I love this and would love to see where the cr goes, it could be good for them ;A;
no subject
Oh gosh that sounds awesome! I'm mostly caught up, give or take a few chapters and yess it really is all kindsa messed up to say the least. She should pick up on that definitive sadness there, even if it's just a hint of it but who can say what direction a thread can take until it happens haha! It definitely helps that she's someone he responds well to as you remember things right lmao. xD She hasn't quite hit the survivor's guilt part yet (it's a bunch of mental stuff basically) but when she does, having someone to talk to about it may actually help her out a lot!
Her memories of an incident were altered but she already suspects things are wrong and is close to figuring it out if she can stop running from things and realize the truth herself.
Seconding it on loving this and excited for their CR! Definitely think it could be good for them, honestly :)
Plus she's similar to Allen in that she can eat a hell of a lot/has a huge appetite so that's another thingno subject
Also, FOOD BUDDIES! omg. They must bond over this some time when it isn't cursed and terrible lmksdff. She's more than welcome to wander into his food dreams at some point where it's literally just mountains of everything Jerry used to cook for him. It's like his one remaining happy place.
And then they can wake up starving and be sad, LMAO.
no subject
That sounds wonderful tbh!! She's never found someone who understands her appetite or how she can put so much away so that would be a fun thing to bond over. Esp. if coming across the food dream would be hilarious as all heck since they'd wanna go eat after waking up from that haha!
btw i'd like to add you on discord if that's ok? so we can talk more on this :>
no subject
This is too cute please I am so down for this. The dreams happen all month at minimum, so -- we have time haha. He likewise doesn't usually run into anyone who actually understands his appetite/metabolism, let alone has it too lmao.
Yes, please! Add away! I'm permainvisible usually, so don't mind that haha. SleightsOfHand#7916
