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.

<b>Short Summary:</b> a few lines are fine! <b>AC Links:</b> <a href="URL">Thread #1</a> | <a href="URL">Thread #2</a> <b>Bonus Links:</b> <a href="URL">Bonus #1</a> | <a href="URL">Bonus #2</a> <b>Total amount of points:</b> including previous AC rounds if you've collected them! <b>Requested reward:</b> whether you request a spark or a trinket, don't hesitate to let us know if you have anything specific in mind!

OCTOBER 2022

[telepathy]

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.
