Timeskip CR Meme

[fairyfoes]

While similar to the CR meme in some ways, the fields within the text area below are meant to facilitate planning and plotting so that by the time the CR meme rolls around everyone has a much clearer idea of what all has been happening and in what direction they are heading, especially as the timeskip looms large on the horizon.

Should you need it, you can always refer to the re-posted Timeskip Calendar for ideas! Characters have already been starting up businesses (coffee shops, playhouses, a P.I. office, even a business selling non-locket network devices!) so be sure to check it out!

If you intend to opt out of the timeskip, please PM the mod account with the dates/nature of your opt out!

OPT OUT ROSTER
+ VICTORIA -- Lost between fairy rings -- End of may through all of timeskip
+ NUADA -- Enchanted sleep -- End of July through all of timeskip
+ BUCKY -- Enchanted sleep -- All of timeskip
+ MARY -- Enchanted sleep -- All of timeskip
+ DAVE SUTLER -- Enchanted sleep -- All of timeskip
+ JOHN GRIMM -- Turned into a bear by the White Hart -- Dec, Jan, and Feb
+ STEVE -- Enchanted sleep -- Most of timeskip, awaking Feb
+ LUCIFER -- Turned into a cat by the White Hart -- Only for July
+ FLORA -- Turned into a wolf by the White Hart -- Only for Dec, Jan
+ TYRION -- Lost between fairy rings -- All of timeskip




As a note, please remember the following:

• There will be no new shardbearers, no monthly events (and perforce no boons). Monarch contact will be limited to include shardbearers highly ranked within their court.


• Fairy rings will be inoperable. Powers, abilities, and boons may be used to allow for fast-travel. Otherwise, characters must hoof it to where they wish to go.


• Lockets will not work. Characters would need traditional means to keep in touch, or need to fashion (or purchase) their own alternative means of magical communication. These alternative devices can be used on the network alongside lockets, and can be fashioned to interact with lockets.


• Border violence will be the norm. Small incursions and raids into enemy territory will be frequent. Unseelie in Seelie territory, and vice versa, will be hunted by patrols/town guards/etc. NPC guards may unexpectedly drop into threads where characters are in enemy territory.


• Boons all perform to their original specifications. None are depowered or vanished, though all would show the signs of age as appropriate for the passage of time.


• Influence and quests would continue to be given and rewarded as normal (one quest per player per ooc month), for our OOC sanity. PCs who are able to give quests are encouraged to have an expanded docket of them at the ready.

So, without further ado!

answer: yes, damon got himself turned into a bat once and now the brucolac can't look at him without losing his shit laughing

he owes Yukari big time; he's happy to employ them for whatever purpose, but can also offer things like, idk, entry to the Midnight Court for Yukari and a +1, orrr...? potentially other things, let me know what the personae might be interested in.

[slugout]

... oh wow that's worse than the fernando bullshit omg

ACTUALLY MIDNIGHT COURT STUFF.... could be cool. yukari and junpei are hoping to make money and names for themselves as monster hunters, and want to be able to make some cash selling the parts... which they are assuming will not always be strictly legal things to sell. giant spider venom. w/e.

so... they'd definitely be interested.

[snipers]

setting yukari loose in a place full of criminals, there's no way that can go wrong

[vrykolakas]

B doesn't know about Fernando and that's for the best, because if he did he'd have to sit down and sob-laugh for like twenty minutes.

excellent! if he gets wind of this, or if Yukari calls him up on that favour, he can take them along to a meeting and then offer them the mark/introduce them to Tzilan for it (unsure if B's able to pass it on? I'll check with the mods). and if they have any creepy monster stuff which could possibly be used recreationally...in the loosest sense of 'recreation'...perhaps he'll buy some up.

also, he will have some monsters on his hands over timeskip in the forms of his slakemoths, so would like to have a good relationship with people who are known to be able to deal with that shit. though they won't be getting loose during. c: perhaps...after.

[slugout]

well it is unlikely to be a secret for long, considering how much junpei talks....

and i will leave the contacting up to you two, since it's just kind of assumed junpei is dragged along with yukari wherever she goes? we've got two more months of locket talking we can take on....

WHAT EXACTLY.... are.... slakemoths? i've gathered that they're like... hallucinogenic horrorbeasts but i... still no comprendo, exactly.

[vrykolakas]

oops, sorry! they're horrible great big moths with hallucinogenic wings that fix all sentient beings in place when they look at them, unless said sentient being is like--godlike weird, and I mean very weird. I suspect all PCs are, by virtue of being playable, susceptible (unless they have some special, very strong guard against mental coercion). once you're stuck, the moth will...stick its proscobis into your mouth and suck out your consciousness. physically, you're left completely intact, but utterly and irreparably without brain function.

also you can't just close your eyes because they'll delicately reach out with their horrible skinny little child-hands and pry your eyelids apart.

:c

they produce dreamshit as a kind of...milk? for their young. ingested by sentient creatures, it gives you a hell of a trip in which you tumble through people's dreams. the brucolac is currently quizzing the jabberwock on how the hell to control them.

[slugout]

well... i guess since their personas are manifestations of their psyche that they use in defense and stuff... we might actually be able to swing something? or maybe at least give them an initial resistance to it. or. help them keep their eyes closed. they've been known to manifest in times of extreeeeeeeeme duress and it's what keeps their souls and stuff from being eaten by shadows... so... we shall have to see. i'd have to brush up on my purse owning lore more than half assedly remembering things from wikis.

also what the fuck is your canon, bruc

[vrykolakas]

it's possible! I say pass the question along to the mods; it may just become relevant post-timeskip 8)

bas-lag is a lovely place, and there is a reason the brucolac canonically lives in the middle of the fucking ocean in a city which is constantly on the run from other cities.

[snipers]

this makes me wonder if personas might have a resistance to this. afaik they're considered the gods/goddesses/demons/heroes of their relative stories, only in different form ( SMT IS FUCKING WEIRD, MAN ). and yukari has two spells in canon ( they're capped here ) that ward off status effects and the like — me patra and charmdi. me patra dispells panic and calms allies; charmdi can actually prevent mind control of any kind.

i can ask the mods more in depth about it, but who knows!! this could open avenues for plotting after the timeskip. :3

[vrykolakas]

by all means, ask the mods! to clarify though, when I say godlike--I mean idk whether, for instance, the Outsider would count, because his psyche is, while inhuman, shaped by the time he's spent with humans/tied to humans, and makes a bit of sense by human standards. (I...think. HI GADGETS TALKING FOR YOUR CHARACTER.) In canon, they uh...talk to the Ambassador for Hell (hi, bas-lag is weird too) and the 'demons' don't have a strange enough sentience to resist slakemoths based purely on their type of brainpower. (though exactly what these 'demons' are is up for debate, it's very clear that they function in a way which is in some way intelligible to humans.) the reason I mention gods is because there's a subplot involving a massive multi-dimensional spider thing called a Weaver which speaks in riddles and walks across worlds for inscrutable reasons who can look at slakemoths. c:

HOWEVER, it is totally possible to hunt them down; if not with spells, then with mirrors, with blindfolds and magical senses, with all sorts! brucolac will recommend searching for mirrored helmets and learning to fight while blind, just in case.

...hell, he may have some npcs undergo...drastic measures.

[snipers]

OHHH okay!! thank you for this info! this'll make it easier to present to the mods for their verdict and stuff. /o/

also wow the Weaver sounds all at once awesome and terrifying.

cries those poor npcs

[snipers]

right now yukari's main concern is making enough cash to support themselves away from the castle ( because yukari is not really picking up what the monarchs are putting down ), so yes! the midnight court stuff would be an A+ start!!

i really don't have any set major goals for yukari as of yet since she is still relatively new, but as long as the brucolac doesn't want her hunting any ghosts she'll be happy to offer whatever services she can around his spire! ps: that's not a euphemism

[vrykolakas]

brucolac just like 'no, I owe you, you haven't grasped this--ah, fuck it'.

uhhh let me see, I believe MC is every two months, and there was one in January, so they could hit it up March?

...how's Yukari for blood magic?

[snipers]

UHHH it's nothing she's ever considered - what would be involved?

[vrykolakas]

I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW, it was just a thought I had. Brucolac needs blood mages to help build his ship. Rin's in charge of the effort, and said mages may well be NPCs.

anyway! probably best for them to have at least one conversation inbetween 'gee, thanks for taking out that arrow' and 'welcome to this room of criminals'. is Yukari likely to hit Bruc up, or should he reach out to her reminding her that he owes her--inviting her to the spire, perhaps? dinner and a chat about future prospects.

[snipers]

HMM, i can look into it! she has an affinity for wind, at the very least, though i'm not sure how that could help for now.

oh yeah, definitely! she'll likely send him a message on wednesday to check up on him and make sure he's doing okay! and we can go from there? dinner and a chat sounds right up yukari's alley. just don't tell her the wine you're drinking is actually blood, b.

[vrykolakas]

that could potentially become useful later in the game when srathmarbh has active ports. pay extra, get the wind-mage to ensure perfect sailing conditions?

sounds ace to me! and he--is this something that will actually stump cr if it does come up, because he's quite cavalier about it.

edit: also, feel free to bring junpei along, of course.

[snipers]

actually that sounds great!! i can definitely see her interested in that, and i can get her a boon later that'll help her with wind control.

LMFAO no it won't stump any cr, i was being silly. she already works for damon so she knows vampires are a Thing. as long as he doesn't make a move to take her blood, it'll be all good. :D

she might actually leave junpei behind in the city around the spire, if that's okay? he's pretty excitable and yukari's a control freak, so she'll wanna work out everything out on her own.

[vrykolakas]

aaah, got it. of course! totally up to her who she wants to bring or not.

he may do some cursory research into who she is (he gets to use minions for this now, THANK GOD); is there anything a brief scan of gossip etc might reveal?

[snipers]

she's your run of the mill ordinary japanese teenage girl!

...but she's suspciously good at fighting monsters.

...and she's really good with her bow and arrow.

...and she has magical healing, which the brucolac knows of!

yukari's been playing the persona thing really close to the chest. junpei, not so much. they actually summoned their personas at the station while trying to keep ryan away from the jabberwock, which is after the seelie arrival but obviously before nemexia's death, so i'm not sure if the brucolac was still hanging around there?

[vrykolakas]

unlikely, he scrammed pretty quick. that's cool! would he know she's affiliated with damon?

[snipers]

hmmMMMMmmmm... i'll say unlikely for now? she's been more visible hanging around the likes of captain america and sam wilson and it hasn't really been brought up in conversation that she works for him. :|a not yet anyway. but if the brucolac asks, she'll say she was hired as security around spire 5 and its supply lines.

oh and that she's looking into getting a house out there in the city. a sort of "base of operations" for monster hunting out there.

[vrykolakas]

fab, just hit me up whenever!

[snipers]

ALSO SHUSH BRUCOLAC you giving her stuff to do is helping her out and helping you out it's a win/win!!!
