OOC UPDATES

Short update, slow month, happy holidays if you celebrate!
Lavvy has joined the mod team as a list mod! Everyone give it up for your newest overlord Lavvy! Yay!
As a result, some things related to how our pages are maintained and look may be getting a slight overhaul. We will point at them all rapidly as they come because we love and appreciate this.
Wolfie will be taking a full (100%) mod hiatus in December because Wolfie is on fire. Any NPC requests through Wolfie’s NPCs will be handwaved for the month of December; ongoing investigations she ran in November will still be tagged/completed.
We have a page about corruption, draconic blessings and a placeholder for the magic system! Please give it a look if you haven’t already.
Casual reminder that November is a check-in month, aaaand so is December! Historically December always is, so enjoy your two free months. Regular AC will resume in January.

SETTING UPDATES

Winter’s bite is worsening, and the animals are beginning to grow scarce again. The lake and river aren’t frozen over completely yet, but if you remember last year… in any case, there will be blizzards throughout the month, and near the end of it, the cold grows bad enough to where even our native snowbirds might find the temperatures unforgiving.
Dark Cacao and his chosen companions have successfully hatched the seven dragons, and early to mid-month will be safe to move to the Grove.
With this, draconic blessings are fully available to the rest of the game as well (see the above linked page). Draconic blessings have no thread cost but you must speak to the hatchlings for it, and it must be threaded. The thread can be short, don’t worry. As a recap, the blessings are permanent and as follows:
- Strength: horns and scales visually, and increased durability.
- Balance: a tail, possibly prehensile.
- Flight: wings, capable of flight.
- Sight: dragon eyes (either straight up lizard or something akin to the unique eyes in Flight Rising, if you need ideas) with enhanced vision.
Those with keen eyes may note that there seem to be less Seaborn in the river. Weird!
There is a heavy feeling of something watching you from all angles, but it is hard to find the source.

PLOT UPDATES

The merchants- Ydalir especially- will be hosting a feast and something of a cultural exchange, including Ydalir just yoinking things out of her mirror from your world to eat and share. With a bit of magic, everyone can partake in whatever they’d like! Yes even you, Loop.
Everyone is invited and while it’s not enforced, you may make a tall shadow woman sad if you don’t stop by for a bite.
As the temperature drops, the guardians seem to grow drowsy. Callan will temporarily stop living in the lake as he finds the temperatures unforgiving, and will primarily be stationed in Siffrin’s fish tank. Sinann will still be active in the river, but will be seen less frequently. Moder will be active enough to conscript Wolfwood into being Saint Nick again, but otherwise will be sleeping. Aurora will transform into a tiny bird and slip in with the Church pigeons. Zahliya remains semi-active and will conduct his regular patrols, but will stay inside the Church rather than on top of it.
On the topic of a certain gargoyle guest, Zonari will largely sleep in the barn and not be seen much. She’s also hibernating.
We have a Christmas gifts thread below, so feel free to put what your character wants for Christmas down! Providing a brief list is fine; note that the mods will only pick one of these things. It can be an item from home that would cost 5 threads or under, so a medium item regain, or something from the usual BAC store for under 5 threads, or something you completely make up for fun (a niche book, a really cool rock, a plushie, idk your life). If physical items aren’t your character’s thing, we can work with that in some way; just write the idea down anyway.
- Note that we will tally up the gifts the day before the event goes live (Dec. 5th), so if you don’t put anything down, you will receive a handwaved generic gift instead of something personalized to your character.
- These will be delivered by Wolfwood yes Chi we’re conscripting him again (you asked for it).

Are the characters being ICly asked what they want for Christmas, or is this more of a "what would actually make your character happy/be funniest according to you OOCly" sort of thing? Unfortunately I play an Asshole Liar Man so it's something I have to take into consideration, lmao.

Moder will absolutely just walk up and ask Stan what he wants for Christmas. He can be an asshole liar to her if he wants.

If you play multiple characters, specify which character wants which thing(s). Pls do this by Dec 5th, thanks!

Ain: A large hedgehog plushie that's the size of a pillow
Gnosis: Sheet metal. That's it, he just wants a package of sheet metal.
Passenger: A new hair care set please GOD he's DYING
Flamebringer: largely not interested in christmas itself, but when he hears about Wolfwood being conscripted he will suddenly think this is hilarious and request a handwritten note from Wolfwood detailing how Cool Ww thinks Flamebringer is. @ Chi I'm on my knees please—

key

For Sesa: A small collection of really cozy farming sim games so he doesn't literally blow up
For Sparkling: A gift basket that has a sampler of a variety of juices from Earthbread
For Wolfwood: HIS MOTORCYCLE except it's a teeny tiny desk-display model of it, sorry Wolfwood get fucked

Beat: Bone. A bone that he always remembers where he buries so he can dig it back up again. 😔
Affogato: What DOESN'T he want? Power. Jewelry. Uh he wants a hair care set too? He can make his own nail polish and make up he guesses. Tail jewelry cause now he has a tail he can properly decorate. He wants to jingle and shine.
PV: For everyone else to get what they desire! 😊
edit: Except for Suri. Fuck him.

Edited 2024-11-30 03:48 (UTC)

Lily would like to correct this in that PV would love new books and probably stationery, seeds for plants he doesn't have yet, and something small to raise, because he likes to raise babies.

Edited 2024-11-30 03:52 (UTC)

hey

Mafuyu: Something with rabbits, or an instrument (piano is something she canonically plays but also learning something new is fun...)
White Lily Cookie: she blanked upon being asked instantly, unfortunately, before stammering something about books? oh no

PV WILL give a list. This is a list of things he knows Lily likes. Magic to take apart, history/lore to decode or decipher, anything to help her aid everyone around her because her soul is so beautiful.

Joshua: idk he'd ask for some quality entertainment, do with that what you will
Clotted Cream: A nice set of stationery and pens
Jiaoqiu: A good quality set of cookware

Dipper would like a Nintendo Switch of his very own, pre loaded with minecraft and maybe also mario party because that will DEFINITELY not be a terrible idea for the Pines family to play.

Mayoi would like craft supplies for making dioramas!!

Unsurprisingly for the former crafter main needing to put those skills back to the grindstone: extra materials can never go wrong, but tools for delicate metalwork/machining that she doesn't already have are very much also needed.

...Or just get her some steampunk-ass custom tailored men's clothing, that's probably easier.

(These are the things she'll mention out of necessity if asked directly, though she'll also comment that it's rather needless for anyone to bother with gifts for her. Observant people might notice that her hair still looks kind of rough (she can't make it perfect and then put it in time stasis anymore lol), and that she's uniquely terrible at feeding herself. There is No food in that clock tower. Maybe some drinks. Maybe she's a cafe regular for more reasons than just bothering Dipper...)

kiera doesn't know what the fuck crimmus is but if pressed they'll just dismissively say they'll accept "something from home" and avoid giving any detail. (assuming yiddler just grabs something random, some item ideas could be a bottle of aurelian wine, one of dad's canes or handpainted maps, a wooden stashbox from their bogfriend iggy, a stuffed unicorn albi left at their house, a letter of disciplinary action from aquila assigning them to records duty...)

livio... panics and doesn't know what to ask for. something to make his loved one's lives easier?? something to make them happy?? feel better for a while??? he doesn't know this is too much pressure!!

Cacao is gonna be very startled to be asked and probably just grunt out that he could use some more ink for his calligraphy set.

Loop: a pair of silver safety pins that are ever-so-slightly larger than the pins Siffrin has on his cloak. Wear clothes more, bitch.

sidenote that obviously, they are not going to be normal and ASK for anything, but i am gonna assume ydalir or whoever is in charge of gift-getting here just grabs a Thing intuiting that it is Gift Worthy Enough i'm not thinking that hard about it ok

telescope?? maybe????

I want to RP so bad but my brain is on fire so I will write these plotting posts and then if I wind up doing nothing this month again at least I wrote plotting posts.

Character: Ain (Bluhen)

Canon: Elsword

CR: Ain is an angel who doesn't look like one unless he's in that specific form, but largely most people here either know or have figured it out. He's no longer trying to hide it like he does in canon because there's No Point to doing that, so hi if I get castmates in the future ig he's just out here like this. Anyway, largely his goal back home was to stop the world from ending (done) and defeat the evil cult that wants to end the world (in progress), and also he's made of God Rock Substance (the El) which in this game's terms basically means he's made of nuclear energy I guess. I don't know how to explain Elsword to people anymore, I've been here 15 years—

Ain is a healer, he's sweet but can be passive-aggressive and generally loves to fuck with people, he has a difficult time grasping emotions often, he has an anxiety disorder, and his definition of friendship is incredibly nebulous. Some of you have already gotten this but Ain very rarely registers negative CR, you can yell at him all you want but he'll sit there like :D we're friends! because his canon group of idiots are always arguing about something and this is just friendship to him. He... has only been around humans for 5 years he doesn't get it, okay.

Currently for Stix: He part-time works at the clinic alongside PV, but most of the time he can be found at the tailor shop which he runs with Isa. He lives at the bunny bakery with Ezell & FB too, but his upgraded inn room is still used sometimes for more storage for his plants + his animals use it as their own room sometimes. He has a lot of animals now.

Plans: Like every other character I have at this game, Ain will be getting dragon blessings. He'll get Strength (scales & horns) + balance (tail). This will probably heavily interfere with his angel biology and make him look a bit whacked out, please look forward to YET ANOTHER creature design for him from me because this is all I'm good for anymore.

Other than that, for cultural exchange: food on Elrios is weird and he's going to happily share all of it with you. Off the top of my head, we have: water that's pink (marketed for women), blue starfruits that grow in a land full of robots, salad made out of spicy leaves that hurts to eat, "water served in a suspicious crystal", the works. Since Elrios is basically South Korea under a very thin coat of paint and a fantasy genre, there will be normal things too, but the weird foods are funnier to subject people to.

Also if he bit you last month while he was AU'd he's sorry. He will try not to do that again.

Not Seeking: No death or heavy heavy angst drama for me this month (blanket notice)

Anything Else: Opt-in for Ain's weird powers

Character: Gnosis Edelweiss(-Silverash)

Canon: Arknights

CR: Gnosis is a Liberi (bird) (specifically a black-necked crane) who does A Lot Of Science, like Technology Is All He Cares About Sometimes, mainly preferring to stay indoors and be introverted and keep to himself so he can work. He is Very Autistic and has a mansplaining problem. He and Enciodes are married. Back on Terra, their homeworld, they run Karlan Trade, which is a trading company stationed in Kjerag, and Gnosis is also the speaker of Kjerag's parliament. Very important-seeming for a guy that wants to sit in a chair and rot with his science all day.

He will be 37 on Dec 11th, old ass man.

For Stix: He sticks to the lab doing research, and he also lives in a small living space off to the side of it. Between him and Enciodes they have Unci and Tenzin, respectively a baby snow leopard and a hunting hawk, but Gnosis also has two weird fish in his lab that he takes care of — one of them a betta fish that's Just an eye with fins from the Alpha Mart event, and the other a Peeper from Subnautica from that event. He loves his freak-ass fish. He also went through an alcoholism stint but he's largely trying to quit now, do not make him relapse we're manifesting good health for him.

Plans: Dragon-blessing wise: Gnosis is going to accidentally get this, Amity & I were joking that he'd say something like "oh that's cool" to them and the dragon would take this wrong and be like "you can also be cool :)". So now he will have the gifts of balance (tail) & flight (wings). Natively he has tailfeathers already, so the lizard tail (also semi-feathered) will spring up underneath those, and the wings will be half? 75%? feathered too.

Cultural-share wise: Kjerag (a mix of various Scandinavian countries) has lots of fun foods that he'll share. Terra in general does, but Gnosis will largely stick to what's familiar and share that. Delicious.

Character: Elliot "Passenger" Glover

Canon: Arknights

CR: Passenger is a Liberi (specifically a passenger pigeon) (which are extinct) who (checks notes)... is Columbian (American) but spent a majority of his life starting from childhood in Sargon (nebulously "every Arabic country that exists"). Part of that life was spent with his mentor Thorne, who was killed by a Lord Ameer ("Sargonian guy with a lot of political power/status"). Passenger then spent TWENTY YEARS!! TWENTY FUCKING YEARS!! on a revenge plot that involved burning the city & black market of Ibut, which he built up with his own hands, to the ground, while said Lord Ameer was trapped there. He started this revenge plot when he was a child. Also detonated an Originium bomb part in his hands which is how he got Infected with Oripathy (rock cancer). Arknights is hard to explain succinctly, y'all.

He has an unhealthy obsession with Sesa/they are now engaged yaaay, and he has a childhood version of himself living in his brain who talks to him. I simply refer to him as "Little Elliot". If you can read minds or etc you might get to hear him talking, he's a nice boy. Passenger is not.

These days Passenger lives in the workshop with Sesa and owns the Magic Lamp. He is otherwise pretty quiet; technically he works on machinery and lightning-shooting devices and things like that, but since he gets unattached to his projects quickly (unlike Gnosis) I rarely bring this up. It's safe to assume most of the time he's putting his creative impulses into food instead, because there's simply no need for him to make 1 billion scrap projects here. He died in October and has been nebulously Around but not entirely social since then, mainly sticking to his usual haunts. I'd love to claim he's been avoiding the Triguns since but he doesn't have an avoidant personality type so he's still here like hi buy my coffee that I grow thanks.

Plans: Dragon-wise: He is getting simple strength (scales/horns) & sight (eyes), because his ass needs to see danger before it comes. Clearly.

Event-wise: He already has engaged in some cultural sharing with the cafe, but there are lots of other Terran foods and things he doesn't make, so time to share even More things.

Not Seeking: Angst/death plots thanks

Character: Flamebringer

Canon: Arknights

CR: Flamebringer... sighs. Okay. Flamebringer is a Sarkaz ("demon" but that word is also a slur for them) (he will get Touchy about this) from Kazdel, which is where a lot but not all Sarkaz are from. Kazdel is a shithole of a country, like they don't even have flowers there it's real bad. Currently but not in the future whenever I canon update him, he hears the voices of other dead Sarkaz and can feel their emotions/see their history, he did not consent to this so his brain is always "full". People who can read minds/sense spirits can probably also hear them, they're called the myriad souls and they suck a little. Flamebringer himself is someone who views any battle that isn't life or death as a waste of his time/abilities, and he's a "one-man army" archetype. His ultimate goal is one day to find a fight so good that he can die happy in battle, in this pseudo-suicidal way. He's not actively seeking them, but you have to be Worth Fighting in his eyes for him to raise his blade. As his name hints at, he's very proficient in fire-based magic, like half the people here, because we need more pyromaniacs... and he's also Infected with Oripathy (stage 2) (this man is dying actively).

Kazdelian Sarkaz are the Arknights equivalent of Jewish & other Abrahamic religions, and they aren't even trying to hide this fact with FB because he wears a Star of David necklace. All of this is to say he will Not be invested in Christmas this year lmao.

As for Stix: He runs the tat/piercing shop, he lives in the bunny bakery with Ezell who is his bf and he will kill for, he helps out in the greenhouses (mostly the one at the clinic because he thinks PV is cool, but he'll help with the one in the school too)... and he's very sorry for wandering into the woods last month after saying tons of (fantasy) racist shit due to the AUing. His ukulele apology will probably (not) happen.

Plans: Dragon-wise: Flamebringer will be getting flight (wings) (because I want him to have wings shut UP) & strength (scales & ...additional horns i guess?). The man does not need to be stronger but idc I think he'd enjoy being able to throw Moder.

Culture-share wise: It's time for FOOD! As far as Arknights goes they don't mention much about Kazdelian culture other than "god it sucks here" and "why does every country come to ours and crush our country stop doing that", so I'll have to pull from the country's real-world inspirations, but! Exciting, come eat and drink with him. He will probably be heavily drunk at one point because party hard.

Not Seeking: The usual death/angst pls be nice to me, don't be that nice to FB but be a little nice ok? ok.

Character: A.B.A

Canon: Guilty Gear

CR: A.B.A is a homunculus whose creator was kidnapped by the government before she got a chance to wake up, so she spent the first ten years of her life alone, bumbling away in a locked up mansion. As one can imagine, this killed any and all social skills she would've otherwise developed and is now terrified of everything. When she finally did leave, she fell in love with a giant demon axe because he looked like a key (her special interest of choice) and immediately declared herself married to him. She will never shut up about him, she's not sorry, and her life goal is to get him a human body so she can live out all her self-shipping fantasies.

She bites.

A lot...happened to her this month. A.B.A once again has a giant (non-sentient) key and will never be seen without it. Please assume she's always dragging this thing around. She also got wings and a tail and is now convinced she'll be reborn as a dragon in the next life, so please don't let her die anytime soon, she will not leave the garden. Awesome. Great. Love playing a reasonable character.

Plans: A.B.A will want to keep taking care of the dragon babies, especially after the dragons have been so nice to her. This is the first time A Society™ has ever accepted her for who she is, bites and all, and she really has...no idea how to handle it! Which is probably why she's going so hard on the dragon thing. She wouldn't be A.B.A if she didn't get weird and obsessive about something she likes.

As for the event? Uhhhhhhhh...idk! A.B.A doesn't have a culture to share with anyone! She's probably never celebrated Christmas! That isn't to say she doesn't know what it and other winter holidays are, she absolutely does, but the holiday season for her was probably admiring lights with Paracelsus and maybe being a little more snuggly. Then moving on. Girl was constantly travelling, okay? That said, she most likely won't be getting anyone any gifts, the idea simply wouldn't cross her mind. WHOOPS. Maybe next year, if she feels bad enough this year.

Not Seeking: No death at the moment please!

Character: Pure Vanilla Cookie
Canon: Cookie Run: Kingdom

CR: PV is a former Cookie turned Human turned Minotaur, whose blind as fuck and can only see via the connection he shares with his Seeing Eye Staff. That Kinda Has a Personality of It's Own Which May or May Not Be an Actual Evil Beast From The Past. It's a whole thing. He is kind, sweet, and ridiculously self-sacrificial. He also refuses to believe in his own abilities despite being shockingly powerful, preferring to stay a humble healer.

That being said he will use this abilities to kick ass in defense of his loved ones if need be.

He recently died and had his healing magic ripped from him, so he's sort of spiraling but also determinedly switching his focus to medicine he can make. He used to be Immortal but he broke apart his soul jam and gifted it to Beiwe, Ourania and used the rest to resurrect Aurora. Now he's very much Mortal and slowly dying of Oripathy that he gave himself to study it. Please read above to the self-sacrificial thing. He spends most of his time in the Clinic, teaching others how to heal, researching Oripathy, crocheting gifts, helping Livio with the School, gardening- no he doesn't sleep.

Plans:
Dragon-wise: He has no plans to get a blessing. He's plenty strong due to his Minotaur body, he has no desire to fly, has horns, has a tail and it's very adorable, and he's blind. His Staff is already enchanted. He doesn't need them!

Event-wise: You bet your gumdrop buttons he's going to be sharing his cultural food with everyone. While a lot of it will be Sweet because ffs it's a Cookie-based world, there's going to be quite a bit that's savory as well. In a vaguely sweet way.

Other: HE IS GOING TO BE GIFT GIVING THE ENTIRE MONTH. Cookies don't have Christmas but they do have a Winters Festival, filled with food and gift giving. He will be dressed up appropriately festive.

Canon: TWEWY: NEO/Ryslig CRAU

CR: Beat is a young adult Werewolf who was once human but after a couple years of having his head messed with just doesn't care anymore. He's vibing, he's chilling, he's being a dog. It's fun. No thoughts. Nothing will stop his big brother spirit, however, and should you need someone to lend a hand and some muscle, he's your guy. He wandered around the forest for a few months and though he's back, he isn't really considered about doing much. One, it's winter which is arguably the worst time of year cause there's less sun and he can't snowboard cause there's no room for it really. Two, he's not much in the way of planning anymore. He's much more go with the flow now. Someone else can order him around.

I'm up for any CR with him and maybe something that helps give him a purpose again, instead of just lounging around like a lazy fuck. And digging up the grove.

Character: Affogato Cookie
Canon: Cookie Run: Kingdom

CR: Affogato is a former Cookie who was once upon a time Dark Cacao Cookie's Royal Advisor. He clawed, scraped, and ~~poisoned~~ potioned his way to get to that position. And though he was very willing to feed into Cacao's paranoia and control via puppeting him, as well as let outer tribes starve (fuck you Coffee Village), he was actually really decent at his job. His job was to run the day to day of the Citadel and given what he had to work with, he did well enough! Plus he showed actual care for a) his disciples and b) the workers, asking Cacao to be easier on them.

However, when offered More Power he gladly took it and betrayed Cacao for the Crown, then was forced to flee.

Here in Stix: He's made up with Cacao and has re-pledged his loyalty via friendship instead. Which they're working on... He's taken over as Mizuki's Commander but uhm, has also grown feelings for the jellyfish which is very annoying cause he becomes very possessive and he does not like sharing. So you can imagine. With Fel gone he's taken over the Bath House as well, and is working to turn it into more of a parlor for relaxation. Massage, acupuncture, soaking. Whatever your needs. Plus he will do your makeup and hair for you, geezus please let him.

He's TRYING to be on his best behavior but it's so hard to be good when you still want Power and the Thing In The Forest Offers It. He's somewhat mollified by joining Cacao's Dragon Egg Helper Party and, in return, being given a boon. He now has better vision and better balance, which he will be using to his advantage for things. It came with a tail so. Watch Out He Will Flirt With It.

Plans:
Dragon: He already got his blessings. His eyes were slit to begin with (the high amount of caffiene in his system gives him and the other Coffee Tribers perm constricted pupils), so while there's no noticeable difference, they have been given the gift of better vision. To go with the gift of Balance he was given a long snake like tail.
Event: The man loves sweets but his Ridge cultural is very... not about that. Their food is very basic, built for long long nights and bitter colds. Dense and packed with nutrition but very bland. He will decline sharing that with everyone, but he will be glad to pull in various Ridge Booze!

Character: Timekeeper Cookie

Canon: Cookie Run

CR: Timekeeper is one of the former Cookies, albeit not from quite the same game as everyone else here - not that it matters; she's a time traveling weirdo whose moral scruples are in shambles, so she's seen every cookie's timeline already anyway! More specifically, she has incredible time powers, which are unfortunately mega nerfed in the Grove by the fact that time is rather messed up here. She hates it, thanks. She liked cheating at life. She's also Director of the Time Balance Department, an organization back in her world that manages timelines and keeps them from diverging into bad ones. Not that she's told anyone other than Dipper this - but her AUed self might have let it slip a few times to other people in November, whoops!!!

She has her own place here now, a clock tower in the middle of the northern part of town. The clock doesn't really obey anything due to /gestures at all of the Groves' messed up time, but it does provide a more private place for her to exist and work on her own agendas.

TK isn't very grounded in the way most people think and comes off as unsettling most of the time. Her opinions and actions tend to be intense and morally askew, and when she grows fond of someone, she's just as intense (and morally askew) about it. It probably says a lot that the people she's actively befriended here include Dipper, who has been mired in the most wild supernatural bullshit for entirely too long, and Loop, because irrevocably distorted from their original selves by time shenanigans buddies.

Plans: Dragon wise, I plan on having her pick up the Strength and Sight blessings. (She's not fond of the dragon babies it's just an alliance of convenience because she's also pissed at Suri she promises. Really. Why don't you believe her.) Sight in particular might have some fucky interactions with her left eye that's all messed up from temporal corruption, so that could be fun.

Otherwise, ohhhhhhh boy. After the AU nonsense in November she's uh. Not gonna be great. Again. Having a bit of an existential crisis, really. I'm debating whether to have her just quietly hole up or let her powers run wild for a second as she changes back, but either way she's going to nope out and go heavily antisocial for most of the month. (Worry not, she'll be there for the feast and exchange still!)

...but she DID promise she'd make something for the dragons while she was AUed. Sigh. So that'll be occupying her time, as well. She's going to do her damnedest to not let on that it's her being all soft on the babies though, so there may be attempts at anonymous deliveries late in the month. I have a few ideas for what she might make, but if any dragon parents have suggestions as well I'm all ears!

Character: White Lily Cookie
Canon: Cookie Run: Kingdom
CR: White Lily Cookie is an all-loving woman from Earthbread who's greatest desire is to find the key to making all Cookies happy and strong... to the point that she learned forbidden magic, opened gates to hell, damned her school, and a whole lot of other really shady things, cumulating in the birth of the greatest evil Cookies have ever known, Dark Enchantress Cookie- who also has all of Lily's knowledge.

Lily means well I swear.

After the sacrifice of her first love, White Lily was both brought back from the brink of death and then empowered with the strength of the Guardian of the Silver Tree, effectively making Lily the new Faerie queen! And then she woke up on the beach here in hell, where she's been just kinda vibing and not thinking about her new royal status at all, actually.

She lives with Pure Vanilla, Dark Cacao, Clotted Cream and an abundance of critters, and has been helping Pure Vanilla research Oripathy for a cure. Otherwise she mostly keeps to herself because... Amity has been dying for months I'm sorry klasj;fd (Also ICly the loss of Vanilla and absence of Cacao hurt her deeply and she was not up for being a person.)

... Buuuut it's been some time, they're both home and well, and she has to keep going, doesn't she? So she will.

Plans: Lily will be bringing floral jellies and blueberry treats based on her personal preferences and also her and Vanilla's school days! She's very curious about everyone else's foods as well, and maybe this will help her socialize a bit more?

For dragon blessings, I'm primarily interested in Strength for her, but I have to face the decision of Do I rp with myself or do I break my own rule and handwave it.
Not Seeking: surprise neg cr
Anything Else: she has a pet green tea cream bunny. it still doesn't have a name...

Character: Mafuyu Asahina
Canon: Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage
CR: Mafuyu is a young woman frm Shibuya who has been emtionally abused into being the Perfect Girl since she was literally six, but at her canon point has finally run away from home to escape her mother's abuse. This has left her terribly drained, especially as immediately after this she was brought into the game and has since been cut off from most of her support system aside from the vocaloid holograms who live in her phone and are born from emotions she herself had to cast away to survive. (vocaloid permission post here)

She's been mostly a passive observer/civilian since arrival, and is very scared of almost all of you.

Plans: No blessings! Continued wallflowering (stop her from doing this) and she will bring in a lot of Japanese dishes but... haha. Babygirl literally cannot taste things so this event is actually going to make her quietly very sad--

Character: Odile
Canon: In Stars and Time

CR: Odile is a grumpy (caring) old (40-something) lady from Ka Bue (Japan) with a passion for learning. She's also a very talented Crafter (magic user) who helped save Vaugarde (France) and possibly also the world? Since it was kind of breaking by the end of all that.

Not looking for any particular CR, but I'm always open to new friends, students, colleagues, mortal enemies, etc...

Plans: Since her last mission has been completed successfully (obtaining a house) she is moving on to compiling as much information about the Grove as possible.

That is pretty much the full extent of my plans for her, lol

Not Seeking: Romance, death

Character: Fern Mertens
Canon: Adventure Time

CR: Fern is an angsty teenager with the memories of a happy-go-lucky hero loved by all, a new body made entirely of grass, and a curse in his head that seems to have switched off his empathy and restraint (especially when it comes to violence). He also has a magic sword!

He's still pretty new to the game, so I'm looking for all kinds of CR for him! It's a little tricky to find avenues of approach for him, since he doesn't eat or drink and he sleeps outside, but he's friendly and chatty enough.

Plans: I have no long term goals for him, he is just super messed up and destructive and I have unleashed this terror upon the Grove. Currently he's kinda bored, so he's going in and out of the forest on a somewhat regular basis to fight monsters, look for dungeons, and gather plants and things for PV.

He is definitely going to come out missing limbs and/or generally injured at least twice, growing weird mushrooms and other opportunistic plants on random parts of his body. I think by the end of December he's going to start to brown, and that can get worse over the course of winter. Someone get the boy a greenhouse.

Not Seeking: N/A? I think?

Character: Dark Cacao Cookie
Canon: Cookie Run: Kingdom
CR: Gruff serious former cookie turned human now turned slightly lizard-y. King guy and dad guy who is an immortal demi-god with depression. Former adventurer who is finally forced to live like a real person again in Sticks and is coming to realize some real personal flaws.

He just needs more friends, he's not the most social but thanks to various game events (and a hiatus lol) he's been isolating a lot. Tho the dragon egg month has helped a lot.

Plans: Finishing up caring for and weaning the dragons. Getting used to his new body parts (strength and balance, so he has a tail and horns now lol), and coming to terms with certain Things with his cookie cr he's trying really hard not to think about
Not Seeking: don't wanna kill him right now but otherwise come at me
