JUNE PLOTTING: LET'S GO TO THE BEACH, BEACH

[sticksandbonesmods]

SETTING UPDATES:

• Summer has arrived! It’s sweltering, the sun is shining brightly, and the flowers are in full bloom. Sometimes, biblically accurate bees bumble from flower to flower. They aren’t dangerous, they are important to the ecosystem, please treat them with respect.
• Passenger built a cafe. It’s called the Magic Lamp, and it lies south of the therapy building with a riverside view on the deck. When he isn’t attending to it, the spirit of a capitalist can be seen running it. Like with the ghost in Luca’s bar, this one also isn’t capable of communication with you, but understands basic commands (and also begs for tips).
• Elsword’s house is gone! Goodbye house! The eyeball lemon trees he planted remain.
• SilverAsh is cleaning up the burned town. In a month or two, perhaps it’ll be stable enough to walk on without risking falling into a sinkhole? We’ll see. :)
• Callan remains Corrupted, but some progress has been made to fixing him! Hm hmmm.
• The Moon Seance (Seeyonce if you want to have a verbal tic for the next week you’re welcome) went well? Or perhaps saying it simply “went” is more accurate. Characters involved have learnt about Ourania, her condition, and how to get home. A short summary lives in the first two comments on this thread. The actual conversation that was threaded out is this way, if you’d like to peruse more.
• Mizuki also made friends with the Cosmic Serpent that lives in the whirlpool in the sea, with Sesa as his cohort in this. The Serpent is in possession of a sun artifact from Terra now. Time will tell what this means, if anything.
• Affogato has named the Fallen Sun/False God/Creature “Śuri”... time will tell what this means :). This information is not ICly known unless Affogato chooses to share it with the class, which means Zahliya and Nene don’t know, which means Affogato is spared being strangled by two shorties… for now.

PLOT UPDATES:

• Run.
• …aka we’re going to the beach! The overall map has been updated accordingly — the three new maps for this event are at the bottom of the usual gallery. How we get there is very silly, but know that it involves Moder permanently altering some of the trees with her forest magic to create a permanent (safe) pathway down that isn’t near the Lighthouse where the Danger is.
• Unfortunately, the Creature, who is not fond of the ocean, is now tired of y’all and is trapping you down there with its magic. Stay on the beach and go play in your water you’re all weird ewww — yes, Moder will also be stuck on the beach with you. It will take her the month to break through the Creature’s magic to put you all back, but after this, the beach will be permanently accessible.
• Other NPCs will be stuck with you — this will include the usual crop of contactable NPCs. Sinann, Callan, and the Behemoth will not be with you, Sinann is a freshwater Guardian you see. That said, if you harass the Cosmic Serpent enough, they might wake up from slumber to ask you wtf you want and babysit you. Heimr and Ydalir’s regular facilities will be accessible — Ydalir’s tent and giant turtle will be the same as always, and Heimr will be set up with his own beachfront store in an old building that looks like it needs some cleaning up. You can help him with this for dad’s love points.
• Heimr will provide everyone one (1) swimsuit and one (1) beach outfit in either surfer or boho style, your choice, for free upon arrival.
• As for places to live, fret not: Through a low cave filled with corals and glowing crystals is a pier where cute cabanas are set up for you to live in. There are a limited amount of these, so you might have to room with someone. Each has an attached kitchen and bathroom like the picture so that you guys don’t smell like seawater all month and can, y’know, eat food.
• The ocean cave will flood with the high tide at night, so unless you can breathe underwater, traversing the cave isn’t recommended. Better get to bed before it floods! Or don’t, we’re not your parents.
• This is going to be a “do whatever you want” beach event, please do whatever you want. Climb things, walk to the lighthouse, throw coconuts at each other, again we aren’t your parents.
• Yes, there are horrible Subnautica creatures here. More info to come. You theoretically won’t be attacked by the Sticks version of a reaper leviathan… yet.
• Next month will have more ocean surprises, stay tuned. :)

OOC UPDATES:

• Happy summer! As stated in prior plotting posts, summer is going to involve fun but theoretically low-stress events. You are welcome to shift the plot around while you’re here despite the fact we the mods consider these events plot-light. We’re here for whatever crimes you commit.
• Unhappy summer: The program Wolfie uses to make the maps is shutting down in a couple months, meaning future map updates past… July? August? Who even knows anymore man— may be much slower, which says a lot because they’re already pretty darn slow. Wolfie will be learning how to make maps in RPGMaker to compensate because if we don’t have the coolest map in DWRP, Wolfie will blow up. Thank you for coming (if there are easier programs to use please drop Wolfie a DM she’s trying her best).
• As always if we forgot something in the plotting post, please let us know so we can edit!

Character: Enciodes Silverash (Arknights)
Status:

hey click here to be gay

haha jokes on you this is a Silverash past/personality summary

Enciodes is a politician through and through. He's the patriarch of his family and inherited it once he was of age to do so, as his parents had been murdered died when he was very small. This meant that he didn't have too much of a childhood. He had to learn how to be an adult and learn how to pick up on people trying to lie or manipulate him very early on. He also had two younger sisters he needed to take care of, who he loves more than anything, even if some of the things he's done have been against their wishes.

Enciodes embodies the phrase "ends justify the means". He will break bridges if it means it'll build a city. He knows sometimes the world will see him as a bad guy. He knows sometimes the things he does are not good. He can well acknowledge that he is not a good person, even if he can lie through his teeth with a smile and convince you he is, but he does genuinely have his heart in the right place.

The thing about Enciodes is that he is also a bleeding heart, but very intentionally does not wear it on his sleeve. He will hide how he's feeling and never show his hand, but it takes such a toll on him. It breaks his heart knowing he's hurt his sister, and that he has to do things that has ruined people to the point where they feel that don't even have a reason to live anymore. It's caused a few small cracks in his facade. But not enough so that anyone who doesn't know him well will pick up on it.

uhh that's it I guess I need to stop writing text walls help

Enciodes did some stuff in May, but I plan on having him be more active this month. I have a quest to 1. assist two people in solving a problem and 2. get someone to play with both Unci (his pet snow leopard) and Rusty. I'll have a log for that soon, but you can hit me up here if you wanna talk about it!!
He's been cleaning up the burned part of town and intends to have it be livable... sssoonish? Yeah. soonish.

He's gonna also regain the archives soon. vibrates.

Seeking:

- More friends!
- More people to flirt with!
- People to enlist to help him out as he's rapidly trying to assert himself as leader of the Grove step aside Heimr-----
- Enciodes is a big fan of someone who can keep up with him in terms of tactics. So, you know...
- Literally anything tbh hmu for crimes.
- Nothing really month/event specific yet, but I do have plans for TLs and such so like thumbs up

Not Seeking: Romantic CR, sorry fellas, he might flirt but he's monogamous and happily married
Anything Else: I'm normal I'm so sorry for the text walls crying

He and Gnosis are going to melt on the beach I think but at least they'll kiss about it

[diplomaticimmewnity]

Gnosis might but I remind you that Enciodes' beach skin exists.
