Plot stuff coming your way!

[shadowmods]

Good evening, players. We have some plot coming your way. Please be sure to read the entire post before responding to the appropriate subthreads. There are two pieces of plot we would like to talk about:

1. Mithos' Birthday -- Day 210 (December 16-18)
The Nysgods don't have a lot in the way of holidays, but one of the most important events they like to celebrate is the birthday of their king. How old is he? No one really knows. But it's a wonderful excuse to relax a little bit. Even the uptight, work-obsessed citizens of Gebo stop to acknowledge their great king. It's a day of feasting, singing, and gift-giving. An event log will go up for the celebrations.

That's not what this post is about.

Something strange will be happening to the candidates early in the morning on Day 210. They'll wake up to discover that they've been left gifts. The gifts aren't from Santa. But who are they from? It's a bit of a mystery. These gifts will all be sentimental trinkets from back home. Included in this post is a subthread where you can put in a request for what gift your character(s) receive. Remember, these are only sentimental gifts (A locket from a dead loved one? Yes. A fully functional protocol droid? No.). Please comment below with what you'd like to receive. If you don't hear from us, assume that your character will wake up on Day 210 to find that gift waiting for them. If we have questions or concerns, we'll let you know.

2. More Dream Stuff -- Date TBD
The mods are looking for volunteers. Specifically, we're looking for characters who might suffer from nightmares. We will use an RNG to select a handful of volunteers who sign up in the subthread below. Those chosen will be asked to write up a vivid and elaborate nightmare their character could have. This nightmare will be submitted to the mods and something will happen. More details to follow. Please only sign up if you're willing to write a nightmare and possibly have parts of it shared with the rest of game.

PLAYERS! YOU HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 13 TO SIGN UP FOR BOTH OF THESE PLOTS!!!

PRESENTS

[shadowmods]

Happy Mithos Eve! What would you like your character to find waiting for them? Remember, they're only getting sentimental gifts from home. Nothing that could blow up Gebo or hurt other candidates.

Devi

[artistwithasickness]

Can haz Spooky please? It's a squeak toy her best friend carried around and assaulted people with.

[alphaophiuchi]

For Draco, I'd like to request a small pearl necklace from his mother.

Reinette

[madame_de_pompadour]

Her cameo bracelet from Louis that wears often. Also, if possible (as it just occurred to me), this painting of her daughter.

Nott

[nott_caine]

Marlow's badge

[thegreenwitch]

Miss Kitty Fantastico? Maybe? Possibly? If not that, then a picture of her mother

[dublinbrogue]

A picture of him and his mother when he was a boy.

[rebelangel]

Her very small jewelry box. All that's in it is the japor snippet and Anakin's padawan braid.

[feellikeibelong]

Considering H.G. already has her locket, I'll have to go with Christina's baby blanket. It's the only thing I can think of that fits the criteria that would still mean something to H.G.

[somepartsbroken]

His mother's ring with his family seal on it, which was buried with his wife. And/or a pocket watch which Matt gave him in the mid 1970's with a picture inside of Matt, Alexis and Michael standing together.

[hypospraying]

Christine: music box

Hook: drawing

Erin White

[notsharkbait]

These. Arm bracers that the guards from Avalon wear. Erin will recognize them as being the spare pair one of her Amazon friends wore on duty.

Maria

[abetterhappyending]

The engagement ring from her ex-husband. :c

SCRATCH THAT CHANGED MY MIND

her old ratty childhood jump rope plz.

[braveandstupid]

Elena would like her diary please!

I'll come back for Dean.

[horncrown]

The knife that Trezza tried to kill him with. lmfao why is this sentimental It's not described beyond knife and a knife that could be thrown. I'm going to say it looks like one of these but you know, without the Uzi label on it.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Peeta: Katniss's Mockingjay Pin

Spock: Kolinahr necklace

Aileen

[shewhokills]

I would like Aileen to get her father's key to the Gilead armory. It has her family name and the mark of Eld etched into it (The equivalent of a royal crest, if you will).

Seth

[freedomfound]

I'd like Seth to simply have a photo of her and her assumed to be deceased son together.

Re: PRESENTS

[notrosesshadow]

A TARDIS key. Obviously it doesn't do anything... But it'd mean a lot nonetheless.

Eleven's present

[madmaninabox]

Bowtie should get his bow tie. The one he's been keeping in a special little box in a special little compartment under the console of the TARDIS, ever since Amy and Rory left.

[lookingforhope]

Either a pocket watch that belonged to his father, or his thesis on genetic mutation. Surprise him!

Creature's present

[isthistheregion]

Xeno should receive the unadorned red cloak that Victor threw over him the night he was awakened.

Anakin

[hero_with_no_fear]

The holo-journal Anakin's mother kept.

Re: PRESENTS

[freebitchbaby]

Pasha - Her Father's copy of The Ugly Duckling.
Glinda - Elphaba's sharp black hat.
Gaila - Her slave chains.
Sophie-Ann - Her gaming dice.

NIGHTMARES

[shadowmods]

Strange as it seems, there's been a run of crazy dreams. Sign up here if you're interested in having your character's nightmare become a part of a plot. Remember, you need to be willing to write up the nightmare for us.

[alphaophiuchi]

Oh! Me! Draco's got tonnes of nightmares (depending on what genre the lovely mods would like)!
