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!

Short Summary: Aspen's focus has been the new Restless populace and keeping them as hale and healthy as possible. To that effect, he has been using his healing ability, snooping skills, herbology studies, and pretty face to make sure he can keep tabs on people and get close enough to take care of them/accept care. He means to grow a large tree over several months for a home for himself and some others, and to open a shop in the harbor for herbal medicines. He has acted as a shoulder angel to many people, at a detriment to his own Shadow's effect on him, as he hasn't let many close to him emotionally.

The most notable characters to him are Laurent (derogatory) and D (affectionate), both having caused a Passion within him. (See: both of their linked threads.) He was able to retrieve the lantern and solved Puck's riddle for several of his companions, but also gave himself to excess during the festival. If I had to give him a grade for this month, I'd give him a C+ for helping people (Augustine, Gilia, Rosa, Laurent, Sasuke, Zagreus), but also deduct points for enabling bad behavior (Laurent, D, Sasuke kind of, himself kind of) and fighting (guess who...)

Thread Links (optional): laurent @ log | d @ log | claude @ soulidarity | set @ soulidarity | zagreus @ log = 25 pts
Would you like to spend your points now? (optional): Spark, please!
Current amount of Sparks (if buying one): 1 (+2 ~~organic~~ naturally occurring Sparks)
Monster affinity (if any): N/A

Aspen is granted Calm, usable 3 times. Upon touch, he'll be able to completely suppress strong negative emotions from someone else for up to 5 hours.

Short Summary: Now that he has gotten settled down as an assistant in Serene's gardens, Aspen has been able to actually put himself to work. He grabbed a tiny rickety shop near the Harbor and has been renovating it little by little as he works at building up a stash. His Shadow has been nagging at him ever more, but said stash has included calming tonics that he has been downing in an effort to keep himself moderately sedated.

In the meantime, due to his peaceful nature last month, he accrued no ill will and was not sentenced to the Gallows. Instead, he helped break out those who were imprisoned, using his invisibility Spark in the process. He has tentatively opened himself up to Laurent, enough that Aspen isn't sure what to call their relationship anymore - and also gave his first Underworldly kiss to Augustine (scandalous). He has gone into Hale with Sakura, bringing back medical goods so those who might not be able to traverse the broken streets will still get care.
