ACTIVITY CHECK


ACTIVITY CHECK


Actions have consequences.

You’ll be required to link a minimum of two (2) threads, as well as a brief summary of what your character’s been up to. No comment count required! Regarding summaries, a few lines are perfectly fine! We’re mostly looking for clues in order to adequately track your character’s ambitions/intentions/deeds so that we can 1. dole out suitable consequences/curses/boons/etc (immediately following AC or at random), and 2. observe their evolution until the inevitable end. Will it be Ascension, or annihilation?

We realize that this can be extremely subjective as far as good and evil go, so to keep things simple, we'll have to adjust the consequences based on the character's overall intent. You'll be notified ICly or OOcly as soon as they come into effect (which might not necessarily happen right after AC or every round), depending on the action and what the outcome entails. Examples of consequences include, but are absolutely not limited to: a sojourn in jail, physical transformations, valuable artifacts, a harrowing, a permanent Spark, a power fully restored, a loss of any kind, privileges, information, etc. Consequences may not be doled out every time, but keep in mind that every action leads your character closer to Oblivium regardless, or Ascension. We'll keep track.

  • Regarding threads, we accept links from TDMs, inboxes, logs, the netherwork, and Soulidarity. You may submit threads from up to two months prior to the current month if you're still tagging them, but you can’t submit the same thread twice.

  • Subthreads from a top-level or a catch-all log can be used as separate proofs for AC! As for bonuses, we'll be limiting submissions of subthreads to one (1) per round.

  • Additionally, we simply ask that you don’t exclusively tag inboxes and/or castmates, repeatedly submit network-style comment spam, or drop your threads as soon as you pass AC. If a consistent pattern occurs, we’ll reach out to the player and discuss with them before issuing a warning.

  • A warning is cleared after you’ve successfully passed AC two months in a row.

  • If extenuating circumstances prevent you from playing or notifying us in time, a retroactive hiatus will be available to you once every 6 months. Otherwise, to avoid a warning, please notify us at least one week before the end of the month!

  • Regarding bonuses, which are an optional perk, we accept links from TDMs, inboxes, logs, and the netherwork. Please note that each thread must have at least 8 comments from you, and can’t be threads you’ve submitted for AC. Each bonus thread equals 5 points. You may also submit threads from up to two months prior to the current month if you're still tagging them, but you can’t submit the same thread twice. You can collect your points and spend them whenever you wish, and no more than one reward per round will be granted.


  • REWARDS

    ► Trinket = 15 points
    ► Spark = 25 points
    ► Artifact = 30 points
    ► Boon = 40 points

    A boon is, essentially, a (reasonable!) wish granted or an item requested from home! A trinket is much lesser than an artifact in power, and would also have to eventually be soul-forged in order to last.



    * you may check-in anytime during the active month, so long as you do so by the last day at 11:59 PM EST. simply follow the example below!

    OCTOBER 2022

    Short Summary:
    Upon entering the afterlife, Mavis confronted Aristaeus for his betrayal, but also helped him escape an attacking reaper. She got poisoned by one of the flying monsters, and ate some sketchy plants to recover, but also wound up ill for her efforts. Sakura came to help her recover.

    In town, she started taking on odd jobs via the notice board because her social skills made her an undesirable option for long-term work. After some inner conflict, she accepted Nagano's offer of help, and made a deal with Gilia to trade food scavenged/harvested for long-term winter storage for help getting a long-term job position with Gilia's social prowess. Noctis explained the internet and textspeak to her, roughly.

    But the close quarters in the town, particularly Mirth, combined with Mavis' intermittently functioning psychic abilities and her prolonged isolation made for ongoing overstimulation, migraines, and nausea, especially during the height of the festival. There, she discovered Asa's demon possession and Nagano's psychic abilities (and determined that he was not, in fact, Kossian, like Aristaeus). However, she also got overwhelmed and started a small trash fire and nearly injured a group of people in the process, succumbing to her shadow and accepting Aristaeus' offer to help her get her telepathy temporarily under control — as a result, he knocked her out and brought her back to his place.

    From there, she disappeared for hiatus time.

    Short Summary:
    After returning from being lost in the Shadowlands, Mavis was imprisoned for the blood she spilled during the harvest festival. Despite her fellow prisoners' best efforts to stop her, she self harmed to obscure her prisoner's brand and escaped. However, over the month, she began manifesting symptoms of hanahaki disease.

    OCTOBER 2022

    Short Summary:
    Alina went immediately into denial about being dead and determined to try to find a way out of the afterlife, plotting with her new friend Eddie Munson to go looking for a way out, including searching the Stygian library.

    Upon discovering that Aleksander was also "dead," she hid the fact that she had discovered that he was the Black Heretic. Under the auspices of keeping her lie together, she succumbed to the urges of her shadow to indulge and be intimate with him. She also posted her Soulidarity as a result of her shadow's influence and the related increasing desire for attention/external validation.

    Alina offered her power as the sun summoner as a light in the woods for people who wanted to go looking for the lantern, and fought with Eivor over who could bleed as a new sacrifice.

    Short Summary:
    After returning from being lost in the Shadowlands, Alina sought out the Darkling, presuming him responsible for her lost time. However, when Steve announced that his soulmate, Eddie, was also missing, Alina realized that she might not be alone in her experience, and it may be bigger than that.

    When other restless were unfairly imprisoned, Alina made every effort to help break them out, despite the fact that she was increasingly manifesting symptoms of hanahaki disease.
