THE AURORA: CROSSROADS ELEGY PT. 1

WHEN: November 11th-13th.
WHERE: Everywhere

You don’t know if this is real or not. You don’t know if you’re awake or dreaming. But you find yourself standing in a burnt-out woods. For some Interlopers, this is a familiar place: you have been here before. As you look ahead, you notice the flickers of firelight through the blackened trunks of trees. Your feet move towards it and you find a small clearing; someone is sat by a campfire.

A woman. Dressed in furs, one side of her face blackened and withered, the eye missing. Her remaining blue eye is bloodshot and exhausted. Her hands are caked in blood, old and new. She is dishevelled, battered and bruised. But she smiles, looking up from the fire.

Enola.

“There you are.”

If you have spoken to, or seen Enola before — she greets you warmly like an old friend. If this is your first time seeing or speaking with Enola, she introduces herself: My name is Enola, I’m one of you. I’m here to help. She knows your name, even if you have never told her it.

“Come sit with me for a while, hm?” she gestures. “We have a little time, it’s safe for now.”

Interlopers may question her about her fight with the Darkwalker back in September, and she’ll smile grimly and explain that she’s held it at bay for the time being — but she advises it’s not a permanent solution. She explains that when the Darkwalker first awoke just before Interlopers started arriving in the Northern Territories, it was weak and hungry. Over two years on, it is a starving beast — and gathering its strength.

“It will come for you again.” she warns. “I’m trying to keep it from you the best I can, but we are running out of time.”

She falls quiet for a while, watching the flames. Her hand reaches for them: they do not burn her.


“I was like you, once.” she says softly. “I came here when I was a child. Lost, scared, angry— I had no idea where I was, or how to get home. A strange little girl with powers, an Interloper. I wanted to go home so badly. I don’t anymore.”

She pulls her hand from the fire, and turns it over: watching flames dance in the palm of her hand. She looks at you expectantly.

“Do you miss it? Home? The people you left behind?”

She will listen intently, whatever your answer may be, giving you space to speak of it. While she is sorrowful for those who will speak of missing home, she seems to empathise more with Interlopers who do not wish to go home. Her reasons eventually come:

“I don’t remember my parents, or if I had siblings. I don’t remember the house I lived in, the neighbours on my street. It’s hard to miss something you don’t remember. Twenty six years is a long time. This world is the only place I can call home.”

She closes her hand, the flames extinguish.

“You amaze me, everyday.” she says, and there is pride in her one blue eye. “What you’ve built, together. At the end of the world.”

The sky rumbles overhead, Enola’s head lifts to it. She frowns deeply.

“A storm is coming. Take care.” she warns you. “I can help you again, if you choose it. If you have already chosen three, then I gift with you rest and peace. Sleep, and a dream will come.”

In a heartbeat, you’re back to where you once were. You’re unsure if you were really there, with Enola in the wood. Or if it was some kind of vision. Or maybe a dream. But whatever happened, it’s over.

And true to her word, when you next sleep, the Aurora is bright in the sky. A dream may come, if you choose it.


FREE RUNNER: The colours of the Aurora dance around you in your dreamscape. You dream you are a magnificent stag, galloping through the snowy woods with ease. You seem to go on and on, never tiring, never slowing. You feel like the wind, or perhaps the very wind itself carries you. Not once do you stumble or fall, even when the snow is thick and deep, or the ground is shaky and uneven beneath you. You feel free.

When you awaken, you feel the most refreshed you’ve ever felt since you first came here. For the final day of the Aurora, you are bursting with energy and even when the lights in the sky fade — that revitalised feeling within you remains. There’s something within you that understands: you are the Free Runner. The ground will yield beneath you, your energy will not desert you, the wind will carry you.

INTERLOPER’S SACRIFICE: The colours of the Aurora dance around you in your dreamscape and then fade into nothing. You dream of kneeling in a darkened, charred wood. You are not alone. In this dreamscape, you dream of a loss, or a time you have never felt more helpless in your life. Perhaps it is when someone you knew died before you, or you stood as someone was sick and injured and you were unable to do a thing. As you kneel, they are there with you: sick or dying or even dead in your arms. You cannot do anything but hold them, and the helplessness is overwhelming.

You look up and Enola stands before you, her expression solemn. There are tears in her eyes, as if she shares the very pain you do: the loss, the grief, the hopelessness, the powerlessness. She approaches you and lowers herself to kneel in front of you and your companion, bracing your shoulders for a long, lingering moment. There are no words, none from neither of you.

Enola shifts slightly, leans forwards. She kisses your forehead, much like when a parent kisses their child: sweet and tender.

Enola pulls away and you gasp, slumping in exhaustion, but still alive, somehow. You stare at her, sweating and clamouring for breath, and she offers you a sad smile. Never again. you feel the words inside of you. This time, it will be different. Better.

When you awaken, you can still feel the kiss upon your forehead — enough to make your fingers reach up to touch it, your entire body tingling a little. A small voice in the back of your mind whispers, reminding you as you find yourself looking down at your hands: never again. Never again, you tell yourself and the comprehension comes to you: you have chosen. This is what it means to be: this is your sacrifice. The Interloper’s Sacrifice.


OLD BEAR’S BLESSING: The colours of the Aurora dance around you in your dreamscape. You dream of kneeling in thick woods, one you recognise to be Lakeside. You hold a weapon close to you: your gun, your knife, your bow, whatever it is you use to arm yourself in waking life. The air is alive with breathing, your heart thunders in your chest.

You feel… warm, with blood. You are injured. Sharp claws have torn your flesh, fangs have punctured you, mangled your bones. The pain is overwhelming, and you look up to a shadow of a great and terrible beast. Some Interlopers may recognise this creature. Others may not.

This is the Old Bear. Now gone from this place, but it has returned once more to offer a boon.

Impossibly big in this dream, more so than the phantom that haunted Interlopers earlier this year. It towers over you. You cannot win this fight. You are tired, weak and injured.

But you will not be afraid. And you keep your weapon ready.

The bear approaches you, weighted and purposeful steps to your kneeling form.

Its giant muzzle is level with your face. The moment is fraught. Its jaws open wide into a ferocious roar, and you don’t flinch away — even as you feel its hot breath against your face. In reply, you scream back. You will not be afraid.

Old Bear falls silent, salivating jaws dripping onto you. You gaze at the Old Bear’s huge, black eyes: intelligent and fearsome. The darkness in those black pools feels endless. And yet you feel… seen. The Old Bear sees something in you.

You will not be afraid.

When you awaken, you feel…. strong. Hale. Perhaps the best you’ve felt since you came here, perhaps for the first time in your life. But there’s something else, too. Something that rolls in slow waves in the pit of your stomach. Rage, some old kind of fury that warms your bones. The Old Bear has granted you a boon, a blessing. May you use it well.


NOTHING: The colours of the Aurora dance around you in your dreamscape, but only for a moment. The edges of your vision begin the blur with black, slowly closing in until everything goes dark and you fall into a deep, dreamless sleep. You awaken, and although you feel rested, as if the dreamless darkness has helped you feel a little more ready to take on the day — nothing else about you has changed.

THE AURORA: CROSSROADS ELEGY PT. 2

WHEN: Mid-November.
WHERE: Everywhere

Enola had warned of a coming storm, and she isn’t the only one. Methuselah returns to Milton unexpectedly in mid-November to warn of a storm coming. He’s done this before, warning Interlopers of particularly dangerous weather — able to sense the signs around him. He’ll take up refuge in the Community Hall, like he’s done previously, and both warns and helps Interlopers to prepare. You do not have long, the storm is almost upon the Northern Territories.

Both Enola and Methuselah’s words ring true. The clouds that gather are thick and heavy, the air shifts and you hear the rumblings of thunder in the skies above you. The faint daylight grows darker still. Of course, November is well known for its terrible weather — with an increase in blizzards and snowfall and a huge drop in temperatures. And maybe, you guess, that’s what they refer to. A monster blizzard, or some super storm where the temperature plummets low enough to freeze a man solid.

It isn’t snow that begins to fall, but ice.

The hailstones are small, at first. But they grow larger: irritating, stinging when they make contact with soft, fleshy bodies. The sky swirls and darkens more, the thunder grows louder and crackles like the thrum of electricity.

Even in the clouded skies, lightning strikes: the dark is punctured with bright flashes of white light, illuminating the world below.

What starts off as hailstones the size of peas, then growing to the size of small marbles grows even bigger still: hailstorms the size of golfballs, and some even the size of tennis balls start to rain down from the heavens. They fall thick and fast, hard enough to put dents in the decaying, rusting cars and trucks that have lain in Milton’s snowbanks for well over two years now. Hard enough to break the glass of windscreens. Hard enough to start damaging roofs, or smaller, weaker structures within the world.

Hard enough to split skin, or even knock a man unconscious. Or maybe even cause the end of them.

Sometimes, when the lightning strikes, it does not remain within the clouds. Bolts can strike downwards — towards the earth, posing danger to anyone in the vicinity.

It would be wise to hole up and buckle down. Venturing outside would be dangerous to both man and beast alike. While the ferociousness of the storm can ebb and flow, it will not ease up for three days — after which the skies will finally calm and the weather returns to its usual miserable November fare.

WINTER’S CURSE

WHEN: The Month of November, into December.
WHERE: Everywhere

It starts with a dream. This dream is not like one of the ones associated with Enola. It feels like an ordinary dream: a cloudless, calm night. The moon is full, the air is cold. You stand outside, breathing in that crisp air. You enjoy the peace, walking through the snow.

Two glowing eyes are watching you from the dark.

You do not notice them, not at first. Your head turns, and you see them: unblinking in the inky black. The eyes of some kind of animal. You stare for a long moment, uncertain, slowing to a stop on your walk.

You look away.

As you look back, a huge shape leaps out at you: long limbs and claws and the glowing eyes.

You awake with a sharp snap, startled. You feel cold, shaken. You don’t quite realise what’s happened to you, not just yet.

You carry on as normal. You go about your day to day, whatever chores you hurry through in the daylight hours and whatever you do to wile away the hours during the lengthening nights. But little things begin to crop up, things you or others notice about you.

You find yourself hungering for raw meat, no matter your preferences beforehand. The idea of cooked meat makes your stomach churn. You find yourself averse to hot fires, or warm environments — shirking away from the heat. You’re more withdrawn than usual, prone to snapping with others, losing yourself a little — forgetting who you are.

But it’s not just these behaviours that change about you. As the days go on, there’s physical changes that become harder and harder to hide:

You notice lumps protruding at your temples. Over time, the skin breaks painfully and horns begin to grow from your head. Your nails lengthen, become claw-like. Your teeth sharpen and your smile widens unnaturally. You become taller, more gaunt. You feel a coldness in your chest, something slow — like something is quietly beginning to freeze within you. You may even begin to grow white fur, or your hair turns white.

And the eyes. Your eyes take on a pale, reflective sheen — glowing in the darkness like an animal. The same eyes that you once saw in a dream.

Methuselah is the one to note the changes to these afflicted Interlopers, whilst he is in Milton during and shortly after the storm. He will try to tend to any Interlopers who come to him, or have been brought to him by others for medical assistance.

“You remember the tale of Old Bear, of the White Stag? Stories of this world that have been made real by the strange machinations of late. I fear this is one more.” he says gravely.

“There is a story in the Northern Territories of a beast that lives within the mountains. Solitary, hateful. It is said that it would capture its victims and transform them into angry creatures of hate and snow — cursing them to be just like it. If victims were not saved in time, they would be lost forever — doomed to carry on the beast’s curse.

Some stories tell of ways to end the curse on the beast’s victims: the afflicted soul must find a way to purge the curse that lies inside their body — a heart of ice. Some are released of the curse by being shown kindness and compassion from others. Other stories involve the victim being submerged in heat as a way of thawing the ice heart’s grip on them enough to allow them to sick it up.

For those lost forever, when the curse has finally taken hold, there is only one way to end it and grant them mercy: to fire a flaming arrow into the victim’s heart.”

It is not much to go off, but perhaps it is enough. Interlopers must work out a way to end the beast’s curse and save their fellow Interlopers — before it is too late for them to come back.

BONES IN THE OCEAN

WHEN: Mid-late November.
WHERE: Silverpoint, the Coast.

The Docks have largely been empty of ships, with the exception of a few ruined fishing boats that had been sheltered within the safety of the harbour until the ice trapped them and started to break them apart. They have long since been picked off by the townsfolk of Silverpoint, and there isn’t much for Interlopers to scavenge from. Beachcombing is typically the way to go in terms of finding things, but… something else has appeared in the month of November.

It’s Marra that raises the alarm first. She sends out messages to Interlopers via the radios she’d helped fix up for them — passing the message on that a new ship has been sighted, either run aground or trapped within the ice. A huge freighter.

Interlopers who decide to make the journey down to Silverpoint will be met with Jace, who’s been awaiting them at the Frozen Angler.

“It turned up out of nowhere.” Jace explains. “We didn’t hear anything, either. Fog had been pretty heavy the past week or so, and then we got that storm with the lightning and monster hail. Marra spotted it early in the morning when the fog finally cleared and told my mom. Figured it might be a better idea to hit it up with a group since the thing’s massive. It’s probably been floating around for ages.”

If Interlopers look to the south east, they will see something stuck out on the ice: a ship. Some sort of cargo ship, but there’s no knowing what kind of cargo may be on it. Perhaps it’s one that was on its way to the island with a shipment before things all went terribly wrong. Or maybe, as Jace suggests, it’s been floating around on the seas for some time before it’s run adrift towards the island.

As midwinter approaches, the ice has stretched even further out than it has previously, and certainly grown far sturdier. As long as care is taken, it is possible for Interlopers to move out onto the sea ice and reach the ship.

The ship sits at an odd angle, listing to one side as it rests in the frozen ice. Climbing aboard, Interlopers will find the deserted wreck of a cargo ship: rusted and aged by sea air and salt water. While difficult to maneuver through the ship due to the list, it’s possible to explore.

(You don’t realise there are eyes watching you as you stagger over the ship’s deck.)

Exploring the main body of the ship will unveil that a crew had been present at some point: belongings remain, living quarters have been used, the place is lived in. But Interlopers will find everything covered in a layer of dust — no one’s been aboard in a while.

(You don’t see the ghostly figure watching you from behind you as you rifle through a backpack, but you feel like someone’s there.)

There are no corpses to be found, though. Which begs the question: where are the crew?

The kitchens do have food within them. Mostly portables, canned goods, things that don’t need refrigeration, or simple ‘ready to eat’ meals. They’re still in good shape, no damage to them. They’ll be a welcome addition to food stores, considering the winter.

(There’s a clatter behind you, a cupboard of metal plates spill out and scatter across the floor. The sound echoes.)

Traversing down into the hold will reveal the ship’s cargo: the ship appears to have been a dry bulk vessel. Inspecting the crates will reveal grains, cereals, coal and ores. A few of the crates have been damaged, but most of the them are in good condition and the contents are unspoiled.

(You hear whispering carry the full length of the hold, angry chittering and low rumbles. You think it might just be rats.)

The longer you spend on the ship, the more you feel something is… off. A low-churning dread in the pit of your stomach. The hairs on the back of your neck prickle. You know it’s cold, considering you’re within a steel ship lodged within the ice but… it feels colder, in a way that doesn’t feel like it’s referring to the temperature. Even Jace’s curiosity and cheer is subdued as he shudders: ”Man, this place is giving me the heebie-jeebies.”

You begin to load up, taking your share to head back to land with. The ship seems to groan around you, the strain of the steel against the ice. You’re stopped dead in your tracks.

Before you stands the spectral form of a sailor. His clothing half-soaked, half-frozen, his skin frostbitten and sunken. His mouth opens, and an inhuman sound comes out and with a jerk, he lunges for you. You stumble back, trying to avoid him, you fall. The spectre disappears by the time you next look — but you are no longer alone.

Further instances transpire: more ghosts of sailors appearing wherever you are on the ship, trying to lunge for you — causing you to trip or fall, trying to cause harm to you on the dangerously listing ship. Objects will go flying at you: plates, cutlery with deadly precision, sometimes even the broken crates of goods will come hurtling your way. Or even ship ropes or chains, trying to ensnare you in them and throttling you.

If they manage to catch you, they grip at you tightly, sucking the warmth and strength right out of you — your breath forced from your lungs and you can barely breathe.

The obvious decision would be to leave. It appears the ghosts are protective over their cargo and ship, and do not wish to be disturbed — but there are perhaps ways of dispersing the ghost temporarily in order to get out (and hopefully with some cargo in tow).

Given the power in stories in this place, the ways which are believed to tackle ghosts might just work on these ones. It’s worth trying, for the sake of valuable items being brought back to shore.

THE AURORA: CROSSROADS ELEGY PT. 2

(tba)

WINTER’S CURSE

1. This creature is based on the Chenoo legend, in which ways of helping the creature transform back into a human revolve around themes of kindness being transformative.

2. With that, ways of healing affected Interlopers by breaking the curse are showing them genuine compassion/kindness/love — which can be open to interpretation.

3. Additional ways of helping could be Lightbringers using their bodily warmth to help the afflicted Interloper melt down the heart enough to throw it up (ie. hugging it out). Or even shoving them in a hot bath, or taking them to the hotsprings could help!

4. Players are fine to have an NPC Interloper fully transform to the curse and choose the violence option if they wished to play out a more action-packed thread. Interlopers lost to the curse completely are violent, fierce creatures that will attack others and try to inflict the curse open them, thus carrying on the cycle.

BONES IN THE OCEAN

1. Further attempts to scavenge from the ship will have much of the same effect.

2. Ways of defeating ghosts in fiction would work on temporarily dispersing the ghosts in this case: salt, holy water, fire/light, perhaps even some kind of exorcism may ease the spirits for a short while.

QUESTIONS

[singmod]

Ask them here.

Re: QUESTIONS

[friendsfordinner]

If Hickey were to rummage around the captain's quarters of the ship, would he find anything of note about the ship itself? He's specifically looking for administrative paperwork (logs, roster, maps) but a cool captain's hat will suffice.

Re: QUESTIONS

[nohero]

so the ship is infested with ghosts … but is it seaworthy? if the ghosts were yeeted, could it potentially be sailed after the winter ice thaws?

[solitarysoul]

it may be a glitch, but the only way to hurt a ghost in funger 2 is by hitting it while unarmed...can levi punch a ghost and have it work?

[faa]

In terms of traditional ways to 'defeat' ghosts... Would a character straight up vehemently denying their existence while face-to-face with them and refusing to believe that they're real - possibly even telling them that - work?

so about this ship...

[tedandroses]

What is the freighter's freight? Any especially interesting (or spectacularly boring) cargo worth persisting through the ghosts for, besides canned supplies and possessions? (...And might there be anything like a manifest on an upper deck that would give that away?)

[Edit: Oh ffs, it totally says cereals, ores, etc RIGHT THERE. Um. Are any of the dry bulk goods ESPECIALLY useful? Raw materials that could be conceivably used to build things or charge batteries? Idk, pretend this question was less stupid.]

Re: QUESTIONS

[moralabsolutism]

In the personal quarters of the crew, are there any personal documents like journals or letters for Rorschach to take a look at? Also, would he be able to find any books to increase the library's supply?

NPC DEATHS

[singmod]

Killing off an NPC this event? Let me know by responding to this comment.

Interloper Masterlist is Here.

Re: NPC DEATHS

[tinstar]

Raylan is gonna end up murdering, oh well, let's kill off Adam Trask please. That's body #2 for him!

Raylan Givens | Justified | Let's fkin go

[tinstar]

Player Name: Arma
Player Contact: Plurk or Discord, both @ figmented
Pacing: I do most of my tagging on the weekend evenings and I try to do a pass on the weeknights, save Monday. EST in a 8-5 job.
OOC Limits: No blatent descriptions of child abuse; no character (Raylan) death.

Character Name: Raylan Givens
Canon: Justified
Aurora Feat: Moon-Touched: Raylan is comfortable with this feat and using it.
Old Bear's Blessing: Raylan has this mostly under control but all it will take is a proper threat for it to flare his temper
Lightbringer: Raylan is decidedly uncomfortable with this feat and he hasn't mastered it at all, but he's confident that he can cover anything if he tries hard enough, (shh, you don't see that shh)

Wanted CR: Friends and people to bullshit and horse around with! Drinking or hunting buddies, and as always more Wolf Friends!
Unwanted CR: We're open to anything!~

Event Ideas:
☼ Crossroads Pt2
Raylan will be hanging out in the Community Hall for most of the storm like he has for the past few Weather Events™ to help people into the community hall who need it. (He'll be trying to talk Tim into coming with him.) He's also always open for going out hunting for someone to bring them back to a secure place! Those who know him will be able to peg that he is short tempered and Grumpy despite best efforts to keep his manners - also hints of raw meat that he's eating.

☼ Winter's Curse
Over the month of November, Raylan will start having physical changes to go with the shortening of his temper and his open consumption of raw meat. He was already feeling like he was turning into a monster, and now he gets to! He'll get taller and thinner, his hair will go white, he'll start growing those forehead nubs. The near daily deliveries of firewood and filling the community halls stores will stop, and he'll be frequently sighted in the forest instead of town. Old Bear's Blessing will make this pretty bad for Raylan and towards the end of the month, Raylan will be killing an NPC. I welcome any and all who want to, to see it, try to intervene, shout at him, hit him with a newspaper, whatever.

Anything Else?:

[bigbaddy]

i would love for bigby to see raylan killing an npc!!! he will definitely try to intervene, or try to stop raylan after he's already killed the npc-- you let me know what you think would be most interesting and i will be there for it!!

D'Artagnan | The Musketeers

[gascogne]

Player Name: Dakota
Player Contact: PM, saltglaze on plurk.
Pacing: Consistent, usually at least clear my inbox once a day.
OOC Limits: N/A

Character Name: D'Artagnan
Canon: The Musketeers
Aurora Feat: N/A

Wanted CR: anything at this point, he just got here.
Unwanted CR: N/A

Event Ideas: I'm winging it as a first event and will probably just tag out or write individual starters, open to any ideas tbh. He won't be getting any Aurora Feat. Holing up somewhere in the hailstorm ig, perhaps the mines if say outside of town when it starts getting bad, looking over damages in the aftermath. Trying to help the Interlopers affected with the curse, or attacking someone thinking they are just a monster as he doesn't know everyone yet and wouldn't recognise some people, if anyone wants a fight thread (also open to the killing NPC route). Absolutely willing and excited to travel to Silverpoint for the adventure of it, and up for anything with the ghost sailors for shenanigans.

Anything Else?: info/permissions, ooc intro, intro log

Re: D'Artagnan | The Musketeers

[shewhograspsthesky]

Heyyyyyy

wanna do something with the hail/crossroads? c:

Raye | Tim Gutterson - Justified

[comfortablyerect]

Player Name: Raye
Player Contact: raye_nbow or discord (falonlea)
Pacing: Medium-ish, I hope! Usually around to tag in the afternoons/evenings every day but Thursday and Sunday.
OOC Limits: None!

Character Name: Tim Gutterson
Canon: Justified
Aurora Feat: Lightbringer! For the most part, he's gotten it under control in the sense that there aren't any unfortunate accidents happening! He's currently learning how to manipulate it better, learn new tricks, etc.

Wanted CR: Open to anything as long as it's organic! Specifically Tim could always use more hunting/fishing buddies, fellow military and law enforcement, etc. He's really learning how to play nice with almost anybody at this point, but I'm always open to negative CR as well!
Unwanted CR: Nothing romantic if you want it to go anywhere! He's Spoken For(tm) but flirting will generally be reciprocated and (unrequited) crushes are welcome!

Event Ideas:
The Aurora: Tim will be obtaining the Interloper's Sacrifice feat, being a person who has watched many people die and been helpless to do anything about it. Unfortunately for him he's actually A Pretty Good Dude underneath the asshole exterior, and between that added empathy and a general lack of caring about his own well-being, he's gonna be offering to heal injuries left and right. Especially for anyone he's had a conversation or two with.

He'll be around helping folks prepare for the storm. Making sure there's enough firewood cut so no one freezes, doing extra hunting/fishing/gathering to make sure people stay fed, etc etc. CR prioritized but I'd love for him to gain some new CR by providing a helping hand, too!

Winter's Curse: Tim will not be affected by the curse, but being a lightbringer, he can provide his fire services to help others pull people out of the curse! He'll also be around to use his healing in the latter half of the month.

Anything Else?:

[tinstar]

So obvs Tim has to be the one to snap Raylan out of it :3 Along with all the other angst we've got lined up for this month.

Aviendha | Wheel of Time

[fardareismai]

Player Name: Three
Player Contact: endtransmission or PM
Pacing: Generally consistent through the weekdays, sometimes slower on weekends. I try not to let anything sit for more then a couple of days.
OOC Limits: I have a weird thing about fungus/prefer to not have heavy descriptions if involved.

Character Name: Aviendha
Canon: Wheel of Time
Aurora Feat: None currently, will be getting the interloper's sacrifice feat from this one.

Wanted CR: Every kind of CR. Aviendha is both an adventurer who loves to help out and also very judgmental and sharp so I'm always happy to have a wide range of CR with her depending on how characters deal with that.
Unwanted CR: None at the moment.

Event Ideas:

Storm: Aviendha had never seen snow before arriving in Milton so the hail storm will be new and she'll be hunkering down for it. Also continued to be absolutely amazed at what the fuck this weather is. With the warning she might search for someone to hunker down with given her lack of experience.

Winter's Curse: Aviendha wont be getting cursed but I'm happy to have her interact with anyone who does. They're welcome to be short/nasty with her. I'm also happy to play out perhaps her and someone else being attacked by an NPC etc. She'll be generally confused by it all and asking many people about what all of it means still not fully understanding the depth of the mess she's found herself in here.

Bones in the Ocean: Generally Aviendha hates large bodies of water and ships after only one experience with them. However, she also doesn't turn down asks for help so I'd really like someone to ask her to go help/explore the creepy ghost ship.

Anything Else?: I generally prefer to write custom starters over open TL's but I'm happy to write starters for you if there's anything you'd like to do. I'm also happy to tag into others TLs.

Re: Aviendha | Wheel of Time

[shewhograspsthesky]

Hi hiii

If you don't mind Clair Obscur spoilers, I'd love to toss Maelle at Aviendha for this month's event. Maybe exploring the ghosty ship?

Wynonna Earp | Wynonna Earp

[pacificator]

Player Name: Lorna
Player Contact: repeatandfade or blueofthebay @ disco
Pacing: On the slower side but trying not to go more than a couple of days without hitting things back. Towards the end of the month work may get busy and I might have less time to tag.
OOC Limits: No killing Wynonna. Feel free to try to kill her, though.

Character Name: Wynonna Earp
Canon: Wynonna Earp
Aurora Feat: Wynonna is full up on Feats! She has Moon-Touched, Old Bear's Blessing, and Aurora Call.

Wanted CR: Wide open to almost anything.
Unwanted CR: She's full up on romance!

Event Ideas:

Crossroads Elegy Part 2: Wynonna will open the saloon for anyone who needs a space to hunker down with food and drinks. The upstairs apartment will be off-limits, though; she and Ned will probably be riding out the storm together there.

Winter's Curse: Amusing as it would be to curse her MORE, I'll probably keep her from being turned into a monster this time around. But she'd be available to help fight cursed NPCs or to try and help someone afflicted.

Bones in the Ocean: Wynonna hasn't been to the shore yet, but I've been thinking of sending her along there to do some trade with the local pub. I'd definitely love to have her explore the ship and have to deal with some ghosts! It's just like her day job back home.

Anything Else?:

Levi Ackerman // Attack On Titan

[wingbound]

Player Name: Dem
Player Contact: @ me in game discord, jigglyballs or PM
Pacing: Slowww rn (4-8 days turnaround), trying to get back on track (2-3 days)
OOC Limits: Not looking to kill him at this time! Don't want to see any cats being harmed. Appreciate warnings for terminal illness and explicit eye gore.

Character Name: Levi Ackerman
Canon: Attack On Titan
Aurora Feat:
Interloper's Sacrifice - he's got this one pretty much figured out by now. Uses sparingly, since he suspects it's capable of killing the user.
Old Bear's Blessing - he's used it intentionally a couple times but most of the time it's just a passive stat increase for him.
Lightbringer - this one's still new to him! He'll be able to help during the event by now, but an accidental fire might still happen here or there.

Wanted CR: Honestly anything? For some ideas:
- He's often out hunting/fishing/gathering and could use company for that. Willing to show someone the ropes too!
- He could use more friends! He tends to get along with fellow military and/or (ex-)thug/con types, people from poor and/or working class backgrounds, also has a soft spot for scientists/nerds, kids and kind people. He's pretty pragmatic but does subscribe to certain ideals.
- I also don't mind him taking up a mentor/caretaker role for someone!
- Negative CR is also cool, he's grumpy and rude and might rub some people the wrong way.

Unwanted CR:
- Excessive negative CR (characters want to outright kill each other) that doesn't lead anywhere.
- Not looking for casual hookups.

Event Ideas:
THE AURORA: CROSSROADS ELEGY PT. 2 - he's seen what the blizzards here can be like, so once it's clear what's coming he'll likely help reinforce Community Hall so people have a secure place to huddle up in. I'm also down for him getting injured by the hail, or possibly healing someone else who got hurt.

WINTER’S CURSE - I haven't decided whether he'll be affected himself (if anyone wants to be taking care of him, let me know!), but he'll be offering Lightbringer services to warm others up! He's had it done for him during a previous blizzard so it's his turn to pay it forward. Depending how clean your character is, he might go for that (forced) hot tub option rather than a hug though.

BONES IN THE OCEAN - (un)fortunately he does not have terrible experience with ships being stuck in the Arctic, so he'll be pretty eager to explore. Would love to team up with someone who knows how to fight ghosts, or wants to stockpile the food.

Anything Else?:

Re: Levi Ackerman // Attack On Titan

[shewhograspsthesky]

Would you wanna do more CR with these two? This one is dumb and will probably be outside a little longer than she should for the coming storm, so maybe he could help her deal with that? Or boats!

Kates | Cornelius Hickey (The Terror) & Dorian Gray (CODG)

[friendsfordinner]

Player Name: Kates
Player Contact: allikateor @ plurk or discord
Pacing: my speed’s slowed down a bit, but I’ll still try to clear my inbox every other day or so.
OOC Limits: no negative CR for the sake of negative CR. I know both of my guys can be jerks and I am perfectly fine with organically developing negative CR (or heck, even negative CR where it’s ‘so and so heard bad things about your character and is reacting appropriately’). But I’m not a fan of first character interactions immediately being “and then they are on each other’s shitlist for reasons.” also, don’t kill my guys, lmao

Character Name: Cornelius Hickey
Canon: The Terror (AMC)
Aurora Feat: the aurora has made him a very hungry boy and also very useful at dealing with in-game challenges via Free Runner, Moon Touched, and Old Bear’s Blessing. He has gotten very good at all of those feats and, unfortunately, has also gotten very weird about a few of them as well.

Wanted CR: Friends, hunting buddies, people who want to beef with the weird guy who’s gotten cannibal allegations, etc. Hickey is the sort of person who wants to be seen as useful and respected, so he’s always happy to help out with chopping wood, gathering food, etc. (unless, like, it’s too much effort. Because while he wants everyone to realize how amazing he is and knows that doing things for people gets that result, he is also PROFOUNDLY lazy). His wilderness specialization has focused on trapping animals, so if anybody wants to learn some snares that two-years in-game get you, he’ll teach them. Also, wolves! Who wants to be weird about wolves together? Hickey is remarkably weird about the whole ‘I can turn into a wolf’ thing (wolves don’t have society, it fuckin ROCKS) and very much wants to keep his wolf cult pack going. I’d love for that to come out in more threads.
Unwanted CR: Hickey’s married! No romance here unless your name is Billy Gibson.

Event Ideas:
WINTER’S CURSE: Hickey will not be affected for this and will probably just try to volunteer everybody he knows with fire powers to deal with this problem so he doesn’t have to—unless, of course, one of his friends is affected, at which point he’ll probably try to physically heat them up because local man still has weird hang-ups with showing compassion and kindness (which means that I’d absolutely love any ‘stop the curse’ threads to end up with the worst attempts at compassion and kindness.) 

BONES IN THE OCEAN: haha wow, this is just like canon, Hickey hates it. He’ll explore the ghost ship up in Silverpoint. Anybody who comes with him will get to hear a lot of bitching about his old job, hesitance towards canned goods, and just complete exasperation when the dead sailor ghosts show up. Hickey will absolutely try to loot the ship and then absolutely try to fight a ghost when one of them shows up. If somebody wants to talk down that Old Bear feistiness and point out that hey, you can’t fight ghosts, that would be greatly appreciated.

Anything Else?: 



Character Name: Dorian Gray
Canon: The Confessions of Dorian Gray
Aurora Feat: Dorian has Darkwalker’s Revenge, and he is THRIVING right now. It’s dark! He’s eaten recently! Everything’s coming up Dorian and he is having a splendid time. He knows that he can and should manage his hunger through small doses but also would very much just like to sidestep the middle man and kill a guy. He deserves it. He deserves nice things.

Wanted CR: Friends, lovers, people who barely tolerate him, I’m game with anything! Anybody who’s on the more morally dubious side would be very fun CR. While Dorian knows that he’s killed three people here and is public about the fact that it’s very bad he killed those people, he’s so remorseful you guys…secretly, he’s not all that sorry. It would be fun to explore that with someone who’s also on the more morally gray side of things. Also, if you’ve got the sort of character who wants to help out other people? Dorian is PROFOUNDLY useless and will happily take any assistance chopping wood, getting food, etc.

Unwanted CR: While I’m up for one-night stands and idle flirting, I’m not looking for a set in stone, monogamous style relationship for Dorian.

Event Ideas:
CROSSROADS ELEGY PT. 2: Dorian will open up refuge in the church because he’s nice like that. If anybody wants to stick it out with him, he won’t have much in the way of ‘supplies’ or ‘food’ but hey, there’s a roof over your head. There’s also the possibility of running into his cursed portrait—though unless you’re close CR, he is going to lie his ass off about said cursed portrait.

WINTER’S CURSE: this is very much the sort of bullshit Dorian has to deal with in canon, so he’ll take to this like a duck to water. He will be very grumpy about the fact that breaking the curse involves being nice, so that has the potential to be very fun. I’m also leaning toward the possibility of Dorian being affected for part of the event, just because he would be very put out that this place keeps cursing him. If anybody would want to break him out of this, hit me up!

BONES IN THE OCEAN: travel is gross and it makes Dorian’s feet hurt—he’s staying in Milton!

Anything Else?:

[notarat]

i'm planning on having billy be affected by the curse, so this could be a good opportunity for a hilarious thread if you'd be up for it!! showing compassion and affection to your husband, a foreign concept for rats...

reiner braun | attack on titan

[nohero]

Player Name: kas
Player Contact: pm, bicepsbrigade, or ping me in the discord
Pacing: medium to fast for the first half of the month, likely slowing down after the 15th
OOC Limits: no pet death, eye/nail trauma, harm to animals (especially dogs). please warn for major mental health issues

Character Name: Reiner Braun
Canon: Attack on Titan
Aurora Feat: Efficient Machine and Lightbringer. He's mastered the former but struggles with the latter due to his emotions being kinda deadened.

Wanted CR: Mostly looking for more people who can help drag him out of his shell. Reiner has deadened a lot of his emotions over his year+ in game, only really 'feeling' when he's in mortal danger or with his romantic interest/fated enemy, Eren (dreamsofwings). If he could manage to laugh properly, that would be significant progress.
Unwanted CR: Not into negative CR with no purpose.

Event Ideas:

• Holing up with someone during the ice storm could be fun!
  
• Reiner will not be affected by the curse, but I'd be down for him warming someone up (via hugging or lighting a fire).
  
• Very interested in the ship! More specifically, Reiner will want to know if it's seaworthy, ghosts be damned. Can it be sailed? Do they have the collective knowledge to sail it? He wants to go!
  
• Also ghost busting sounds fun!

Anything Else?:

[gildedlife]

I'm not very canon familiar but from descriptions/info these two might be interesting together! We could toss them together on the ghost ship and see how they mesh if you're interested in that; James would also be wondering about the ship itself and if it could be sailed, even though it's much more modern than he's used to.

Lt. Billy Prior | The Regeneration Trilogy

[fissure]

Player Name: Karen
Player Contact: PM
Pacing: Hitting threads back every 1-3 days, but can take longer depending on my workload.
OOC Limits: unwarned graphic child or animal abuse, or images or gifs of Godzilla

Character Name: Lt. Billy Prior
Canon: The Regeneration Trilogy by Pat Barker
Aurora Feat: N/A

Wanted CR: Prior's been out of game for a couple of months, and in the months proceeding that, he was very much Not Himself. His "other" identity kept him mostly out of sight and largely out of mind. (See my opt out for more information on common content warnings and permissions for notes on his medical history & diagnosed, but unnamed, identity disorder.) People are welcome to know that he was not himself, or to disregard this information, and anyone who is interested in building some "What the Hell happened here?" CR regarding that are welcome to reach out and we can hash out some handwavey stuff to have them talk about now. Honestly, the only REAL difference comes down to the "other" Billy being a bit... more jovial, friendly, blunt, but also a little scarier.

Unwanted CR: Truly, I will take it all as long as there's a reason for it. Doesn't even have to be a good one, just a fun one for all involved. :)

Event Ideas: I wouldn't normally be one to give someone like Prior access to anything more than he's already got, but I think the Old Bear's Blessing might actually work out well in this case. It's bound to push Prior to places where he CAN be, but doesn't WANT to be. Particularly interested in getting to the rage beast aspects because I think that Prior would really grapple hard with having access to that kind of power (especially after using it).

Really open to exploring the storm and the shipwreck as well. No specific plans, except that I'm glad to facilitate another character's involvement by offering the team up. Prior's not exactly the best backup, nor is he particularly comforting or useful (outside his blessing, perhaps), so it's really just an opportunity to saddle your character with someone who will probably make things a little bit worse (or... less better, if not nothing).

Anything Else?: I wish I had a cheeky gif to share, but instead I'll recommend two early access games on Steam I'm enjoying:
My Card is Better Than Your Card (cute card battler with stickers) - Steam Page
Dice With Death (exactly what's on the tin, except you get buffs to synergize your dice) - Steam Page

[gildedlife]

well well well look who it is~

We should definitely do something for the event!

James Fitzjames | The Terror

[gildedlife]

Player Name: Ami
Player Contact: Plurk at amiasha, Discord at amiasha, or through PM!
Pacing: To be honest it's been dreadful the last few months, but I'm back and hype and ready to rp so I"m hopeful to return to my usual pace. That's anywhere from a few tags a day to a tag every few days, depending on the thread.
OOC Limits: Not a lot bothers me, just put in usual warnings and if something comes up I'll message and let you know!

Character Name: James Fitzjames
Canon: The Terror (2018 Show)
Aurora Feat: Efficient Machine, Aurora Call, and soon Interloper's Sacrifice. He knows and understands the first one now, but although he's familiar with the other two from other people using them, he hasn't figured out he has them yet.

Wanted CR: A lot of his CR has gone, so he needs more of everything. In particular, a few fun ideas are people he can go adventuring with, and people he can have bitchy rivalries with.
Unwanted CR: Nothing really; I love to see how CR goes naturally and see where it takes us.

Event Ideas:

Crossroads Elegy Pt. 1 - James will be getting his last aurora feat: Interloper's Sacrifice. There's a whole bunch of thematic reasons for this and it'll be excellent but I have no plans for how he'll discover it, so if anyone wants to plot their character getting injured at some point (whether in the events or otherwise) and needing a healer, we can do something with that!

Crossroads Elegy Pt. 2 - No plans for this yet; I'm open to him getting stuck with something in Milton/Lakeside. Alternatively, he has a small cabin way out on the outskirts of Lakeside, and that can also be open for someone to get stuck there with him.

Winter's Curse - James won't be affected by this event but he's available both for trying to help with cures, and if anyone wants their character to attack someone who will fight back and could do them some damage.

Bones In The Ocean - OH BOY he's definitely gonna be involved in this. He's already been interested in exploring the small wrecked ships out of pure curiosity, and a huge one that potentially has important supplies will definitely draw his attention. He is, of course, familiar with ice-locked ships at dangerous angles, so exploring won't be a problem until, you know. The ghosts. Which is definitely not thematically distressing, and he totally knows to deal with, and he will definitely not be absolutely useless in banishing ghosts. Definitely not. He has no idea how to deal with ghosts wtf also how dare they attack their sort of brethren.

Anything Else?:

[fidior]

grasps your hands, I'm trying to get back into things myself and I would love to do something fresh with James this month! I'm always & forever open for any ideas you might want to indulge in, but to toss out some thoughts: Ghost Ship Fuckery could be fun and horrible for these two 😌 Maybe not the actual banishment part since Ned doesn't know what he's doing there either BUT we could have them exploring & encountering dead sailors and experiencing all the horrors there....

Or if you don't get another taker for Interloper's Sacrifice then I'd be happy to offer Ned for him to heal if needed! He's very familiar with this ability in Kate (his dumb butt has been healed by her... many times...) so he could also potentially give James some more info about it as it comes into light!

Maelle | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[shewhograspsthesky]

Player Name: Alex
Player Contact: Discord @ alexceptionally or PM here
Pacing: I'm gonna be busy until halfway through January, some days I'll be able to do a lot of tags, some days none. :(
OOC Limits: If you think it could be an issue, just message.

Character Name: Maelle
Canon: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Aurora Feat: Lightbringer!
(She'll be picking up Free Runner with the event this month!)

Wanted CR: yes.
Unwanted CR: Any CR is good CR so long as it isn't bad for the sake of bad.

Event Ideas:

Crossroads Elegy, pt. 2
Maelle is not great at heeding warnings and will likely assume she has more time before the storm comes than she actually does. So she will absolutely be outside for the start of the bad weather. Would anyone like to bump into her or see her outside and get her indoors? Or be dumb together!

Winter's Curse
Since she's a Lightbringer, she should be able to help others afflicted. She's also just... usually pretty kind, especially if she already knows the person. But this can easily extend to strangers just as well. So if anyone wants her help, she's good for it. c:

Bones in the Ocean
THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ADVENTURE. Please take the child on an adventure. Take her. It'll be great. I promise.


Anything Else?:
Just more Clair memes :)

Edward Little | The Terror

[fidior]

Player Name: Jhey
Player Contact: hagfishs / hagfishs @ discord / pm are all fine!
Pacing: I've been running so abysmally slowly the past couple of months and am now making a concentrated effort to get my head back in the game 💪 I'll always run a bit slower during my work week, but on weekends this month I would love to utilise my time and actually do some boomeranging again to make movement on threads and get back into the swing of things, if anyone's up for it!
OOC Limits: N/A

Character Name: Lt. Edward Little
Canon: The Terror
Aurora Feat: Moon-Touched, Darkwalker's Revenge, & Aurora Call for Dark Side of the Moon, aka my take on a werewolf riddled with anxiety and empathy | details here

Event Ideas:

aurora feats.
Ned's maxed out on feats but I haven't done much of anything with his newest, Aurora Call, so that could be fun to potentially work into some threads. Otherwise, his feats make him cursed af and he can only be outside in the dark — plus he hungers for anyone with feats he doesn't have. So if anyone's getting a new feat this month or their very first feat, it will affect cr with him, which would be fun to play with! He's keeping regularly fed via some donors, but still struggles with all of this, so I'd love to let him face someone he's thirsty for and then manage to work through it. But I'm also down for negative interactions with this, too! Feel free to beat him up if he starts looking at you like he wants a nice sailor snack

Other feat things — Ned's wolf form is a lot more aggro now, thanks to the Darkwalker's Curse, but he'll be wanting to make sure it stays loyal to his close ones, so I can see him hanging out in wolf form a lot, when it seems safe to. This can probably be something handwaved unless folks want to play out some little snippets of cosy wolf times on the side, which I'm all for! He can be a good boy, he promises 🥺

the storm.
Ned's weathered every storm in this place so far and will definitely expect the worst, so he'll be helping out at the community center and all around town to make sure folks have what they need. He'll be hunkering down probably with Wynonna above the saloon / possibly with Irving & Kate / others?? Everyone needs to just get under the same roof okay so he can keep his eyes on you all

winter's curse.
Ned won't be affected by this but he could help someone down from it! Given how spooked he is of Supernatural Beasties and Transformations and Whatnot, this would be a big thing for him

bones in the ocean.
Now that it's getting darker out and his cursed ass can actually make the trek, I'd love to have him take a trip out to the coast for the first time. Seeing the ocean again after so many years will be A Lot but also spooky ghost ship yes please.... Ned will be exploring it and I'd love to have his "already haunted by so many dead sailors" self become "literally haunted by so many dead sailors." Bonus points if he bumps into the captain :') I'd be down to play with this however, maybe team-ups to explore & run away lmao or he could help someone who knows how to deal with ghosts do that.

Player Name: Cheryl
Player Contact: heolstor / @ _heolstor on disco
Pacing: Slow as balls. Full time job + modding a game + playing in the game makes for a pretty challenging mix. Backtags are my friends. I do have bursts where I can sit and boom on occasion tho!
OOC Limits: No character death pls and ty.

Character Name: Kate Marsh
Canon: Life Is Strange
Aurora Feat: Aurora Call; Interloper's Sacrifice; Lightbringer — she got the Messiah Complex build. She has the best control over Aurora Call and Interloper's Sacrifice, but she's still trying to work on Lightbringer.

Wanted CR: Pretty much everything! Friends!!! People around her own age to befriend!!! Fellow nerds!!! Religious sorts!!! Grumbly sorts she can win over by being good and soft!!! She's defo more of a Support Role route with things after she did her rosehip stuff, via foraging, cooking, medical/first aid, etc.
Unwanted CR: Romance. She's recently lost her love interest Tim Drake (they were a Thing but also not an Official Thing, but they had a Thing), so she's not interested in that at all.

Event Ideas:

crossroads elegy: Kate is full up on Feats so she'll get a nice restful night's sleep but she's very much a 'Team Enola' sort so she'll absolutely want to talk to others about meeting Enola. In regards to the storm, Kate will likely be holing up with her close-CR — which might end up looking like staying in the Post Office with John Irving, Edward Little and Wynonna Earp. She'll absolutely be helping the Community Hall prepare, however!

She'll also be good as someone who's had Interloper's Sacrifice and has used it quite extensively, if anyone who goes for that Feat needs help/advice on it!

winter's curse: Definitely interested in having Kate affected by this. She's not in a really good place after losing Tim so this will definitely be something that'll be very good to play with considering the Themes. What's worse is Kate has Lightbringer, so she'll just being hating EVERYTHING so much. I'd be down for her going near enough feral/almost completely consumed by the curse and maybe having her brought back either by the Power of Love or someone luring her to the Hot Springs to hurl her in them.

Anything Else?:

Character Name: George Hodgson.
Canon: The Terror.
Aurora Feat: None, right now!

Wanted CR: Hodge is fresh in the game so I am down for CR in all forms! He might be a Lieutenant, but he's far more amicable/approachable compared to his fellow Terror Lieuts. He's One Of The Lads. Down for pretty much everything tbh.
Unwanted CR: I'm not a fan of Negative CR That Goes Nowhere, I do like a bit of depth/development to it. But other than that, we're good to go!

Event Ideas:

crossroads elegy: Oh, no! The Supernatural Is Upon Him! I'm torn between Free Runner and Old Bear's Blessing for Hodge, with a heavy leaning towards Old Bear's Blessing. I think that one would be interesting to explore for him / interesting for him to grapple with. Hodge is arguably the most 'violent' of his Terror Lieuts as an Opium War veteran, and also ordering a massacre upon a poor Netsilik family — not to mention wishing he could kill Cornelius Hickey if he'd just been brave enough. He's got.... Things. Going on. But he's still very much a Victorian Gentleman and there's all the themes of cloaking his deeds in that mentality — we could talk a whole lot about the themes, lads. So yes, this would be interesting to look at.

In terms of the storm, Hodge is currently in the Community Hall as a place to stay and will likely stay there — but may end up following his cast mates to where they might be.

bones in the ocean: A PERSONAL ATTACK ON ALL THE TERROR CAST. Hodge will likely be making the voyage down to Silverpoint as he's had a few weeks to focus on trying to get his strength up. He's not 100% just yet, but his new Feat will certainly help. But he'll want to go to the Coast, for sure. Absolutely down for ship exploring and getting the shit scared out of him by ghosts and also Having Emotions about a literal ghost ship.

Anything Else?:

Zoey Westen | Original Character

Player Name: Bri
Player Contact: PM, ThriceWiddershins or thricewiddershins on discord feel free to add!
Pacing: Slow has hell, generally. Backtags are my friend. (I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things after taking a trip to visit friends, so it’s coming in fits and starts as I do.) Most of my tagging happens during night owl hours.
OOC Limits: Character death and non-con

Character Name: Zoey Westen
Canon: original character
Aurora Feat: telepathic fire wolf for the win!
Lightbringer: she’s got this one DOWN, as it’s the first Aurora feat she ever got.
Moon Touched: running around as a wolf is so much fun, and Zoey loves it. She’s gotten a good handle on this one, too. And uses it all the time.
Aurora Call: it’s her most recent feat, and the one closest to some of the powers she used to have, so she’s feeling the most like herself than she has since arriving in Milton. She had an easy time getting a handle on this one since it wasn’t exactly new to her.

Wanted CR: FRIENDS! Definitely friends. Found family. Snark friends! Hunting/exploring/patrol buddies. Information gatherers/research partners, because she 1000% has an information wall she’s working on in her home (and she’s been using another wall for a map). Sparring buddies. Travel/adventure friends. Absolutely not opposed to lovers/romance, either. LET HER SMOOCH PEOPLE lol. She’s still going to be building a still. Wolf friend times, both for shifting shenanigans, hunting, and for puppy times. Plus she’s got Aurora Call, now, so she’s feeling more like herself. So if anyone wants to have some mind communication that’d be wonderful!
Unwanted CR: Negative CR for the sake of negative CR. Negative CR for a reason is fine! Although I’d like the chance to slow burn that to something a little less negative if possible. No mortal enemies, please.

Event Ideas:

THE AURORA: CROSSROADS ELEGY: No plans for part 2, yet. Absolutely here for her getting stuck together with someone, or her dragging someone out of the hail or something. She’ll absolutely be keeping an eye out for folks needing help. New arrivals or old hats.

WINTER’S CURSE: Not 100% sure if Zoey’s going to be affected or not. I could go either way. Either her helping people out and freeing them from the curse, or needing the help herself. If she DOES get cursed... she could use Aurora Call to be unconsciously calling out for someone to stop her or help her or something? IDK.

BONES IN THE OCEAN: 100% I’m sending Zoey to Silverpoint for this. Ghost ship? GHOST SHIP! She’s got fire, so she can hold off the ghosts, plus she’d be willing to try the whole exorcism thing, or some other similar ritual. As always, she will 100% risk her life to keep others safe.

Anything Else?:

[bigbaddy]

if you would be up to having zoey be affected by the curse, i would 100% be willing to throw bigby at her to help deal with it! c: it could be so funny since bigby is so bad and easily embarrassed at being openly compassionate...

Wanted CR: I never know what to be put here lmao. Just gimme everything!
Unwanted CR: Nothing in particular.

Event Ideas:

The Aurora Crossroads elegy pt 2

With his new feat Frodo is available to help anyone hurt by the storm! In fact, he'll be very eager to do so because he often feels sort of useless around here even if he helps a lot with foraging and cooking and whatnot.

Winter's Curse

Won't have him be affected, but he is very good for helping with the healing process. He's a very caring and sweet man. Thanks to his feats I think he could pretty easily notice people who've been affected, so if someone tries to hide it and needs to be brought to Methuselah he can do that. With Old Bear's strength he could even drag someone there haha.

Anything Else?: No memes from me.

[notarat]

i'm planning on having billy be affected by the curse, so if frodo was willing to help with it, that'd be great!!! frodo is so sweet, you're right, he's perfect for it.. i don't think billy would really be hiding it, but he would be very opposed to getting help-- though i think frodo could probably worm his way into it anyway with his sweetness!
