official drop

I meant to do this like. A month and a half ago. I got really behind and a bit too ashamed to catch up, so, uh... Yeah.

I'm dropping/I've dropped. :|b

It was fun when I was around though!! You guys seem like great people and everything looked super fun. ;_; I wish I had a bit more courage to be part of it, but, I didn't. Just one more RP regret to add to the list.

Goodbye everyone! I'll make sure to stalk the endgame, at least. :D

Poll time! (Pretend this is the mod account)

So. Remember that mystical poll I mentioned in the most recent mod post? It is here at last! And basically, this is what I want to know:

What does everyone choose? Who do you trust in the most?

Do you believe in Nathan?

~Or~

Do you believe in ~~Harvey Dent~~ Filippo?

Both have their pros and cons as you've discussed and seen in-game, but with this poll, I want what to know what your character will choose. Even if they didn't see the initial encounter, they must have heard about it by now (and such things can be assumed as happening off-screen if you'd like), so they all should be aware of what choice they face.

So yes, this is a very important poll that I need everyone to vote in. Because I'm putting this poll up later than I wanted (my fault completely there), I am going to give people until the Friday to answer it, and Saturday will be the day of the mod post. But please answer as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate it!

And since I don't want to waste the poll form, I'm asking an additional couple of questions! Mainly, I'm curious to see what kinds of things you all want answered by the time the game ends.

By the way, you will need to be logged into your character's account to vote. (It was a choice between "all" or "access list" and keeping it to character journals makes it easier for me to see who's voted and such.)

Thanks very much, everyone!

I hate to say it, but I'm going to have to say good-bye to Alicia. As I mentioned in another OOC post, I had a major/sudden job change (right after I apped her!), and with the new workload, I have come to the reluctant conclusion that I am overextened in RP. I love this game to death and am super-excited for the endgame, meaning I really want to be able to go out with Sophie the way this game deserves. I think the only way I can do that is if I'm able to focus on her exclusively with my limited free time, so as much as I love playing Alicia, I can't handle a second character at this point.

I'm going to go ahead and finish current threads with Alicia--unless you'd rather drop one, in which case, let me know. But I have really enjoyed playing her, so I don't want to leave things hanging. Also, thank you so much to everyone who has interacted with her! I'll still be here with Sophie, so thankfully this isn't good-bye to Luministi!

Keep being your awesome selves, and I look forward to entering the endgame together.

Plot Extension

Hey everyone!

I know people have been busy with going back to school and, for some of us, Labor Day weekend shenanigans, so I'm going to be extending the most recent plot! You'll have until next Monday to play with things, but just be warned: I am going to throw something at you either Wednesday or Thursday. Let me know which day you would prefer this mysterious thing thrown at you guys--or else I'll just pick~

Oh! One more thing. Starting now (for those who don't backdate), those who lost their powers can start to feel them trickling back. You won't be back up to snuff just yet, but it'll be something.

Now, go out there and have fun!

The slowest thing since slow came to slow town

Bluhhhhh sorry I've been mega slow and will continue to be mega slow probably for a few days or a week or something.

I got this wackadoo infection and I thought I could get over it by myself and that turned out to not be the case at all so it just made itself nice and comfy and a lot worse on my end of things w h o o p s. Don't be like me, kids!

(Unrelated side note: I hope everyone who's back in school/is going back to school is having a nice semester so far. The rest of you don't get any wellwishes. Okay kidding I hope everyone is well and such. *3*)

It's that time again for the very last time

It's time for our third and final ACTIVITY CHECK!

As the game reaches final stretch of the season, I'm not as concerned with players pointing me to their activity. Instead, I'd rather check and see whether or not you'd like to stick with the game through to the very end. If you would like to stay and finish things off with a bang, please comment below with your character's name(s) and journal(s). That's all!

...Seriously, that's it! I know some of you were worried about not having enough for AC, so I hope this assuages your fears ♥

As a reminder, this activity check will remain open for one week, after which point characters who have not yet responded will have only three days before, unfortunately, they are removed from the game.

Please pass this on to people if you think they haven't seen the link yet, and I'll be linking this in plurk too.

If you have any questions or anything, please let me know!

Knitted goods!

Hi everyone! Megumi here again. I just wanted to say, anyone who asked Sophie for knitted goods last plot is free to assume they got them from her! Or, if you didn't ask but think your character would have off-screen, you can assume that, too :)

When passing out the items, Sophie would have been sure to note that Kanaya helped with the knitting. For each person, they knitted a hat and gloves in a colour of their choice (unless Kanaya wants to add anything here?). Just FYI, Sophie knitted a charm into the hats to encourage them to trap heat. The gloves have a protective charm in them (i.e. like what she sewed into clothing last season). The effectiveness of these charms is up to you, especially considering that the plot circumstances can vary the heat anyway. (Really, the effectiveness is also up to the town since no protective charms ever seem to stop its antics...)

I would post for Sophie, but I just switched to an entirely different and more challenging yet technically equivalent job(!?), and I am beyond swamped at the moment. But if anyone is wanting to play out anything specific, please ping me? Otherwise I'll continue backtags and tag into newer things when time permits.

If you have any questions about knitted goods from Sophie, let me know. Otherwise, stay ~~cool~~ warm, Luministi!

Heads-up!

Hey everyone! I wanted to let you all know that I made an important adjustment to the timeline of the previous plot. I explain it here, but instead of the one day in-game approximately equals one day in real-time, I'm squashing things together into a four-day time period. So this current plot starts four days after the previous one in-game.

I really hope this doesn't inconvenience people, but adjusting the passage of in-game time has happened before. I just...usually announce that a bit sooner, but this plot is still young!

If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask. (I really hope I'm being clear o.o;; So please, if I'm not, seriously ask!)

Thanks everyone <3

Hi guys! Kunenk here, bringing John Egbert here from Homestuck. He's been at the fourth-wall, so he knows a bit, but given what's going on and that he got bumped a bit to pretty much just after reviving so that's going to be a a rollicking good time!

Second character!

Hey Luministi! Megumi here with a last-minute second character. I'm bringing in Alicia Melchiott from Valkyria Chronicles (game-verse). She was at the last fourth wall, which she will remember, and I've canon-bumped her a little from there. Alicia is from an Earth-like world, and she's a soldier in the militia in 1935 while her homeland of Gallia is being invaded. She has also recently discovered that she's the descendent of an ancient race with special powers, though she has a lot of mixed feelings about that. She's coming from the end of Chapter 16, at a point when things at home are particularly intense, but isn't that true of most everyone?

I'm on vacation at the moment, but I'll intro her (and catch up on my tags) when I'm home in a day or two. I'm looking forward to having her meet everyone!

TEAM PROCTOR plotting post?

idek, I feel weird stealing from Leafy like this, but I figured we could probably keep things straight this way (and I know not everyone has plurk, so it'd be easier to keep everyone in the loop this way too).

SO like Ichijou's group, Kon's heading up a group to find Proctor's body! EVERYONE can join in, though it's probably not a good idea to go with him if your character's with Ichijou, since they're going at it roughly the same time in-game XD

we've got the following so far:
Kon - FEARLESS LEADER, the goddamn Superboy, invulnerable to everything except magic ~~and Vriska~~
Mu - the cool, calm, collected teleporter!
Terezi - the cool troll detective, pseudo little sis
Ten - the goddamn Doctor, handy with sonic screwdrivers, master of everything (aka Kon has no idea what he can do)
Jamie - a Companion! Master at the bagpipes, friendly guy, and... well, super friendly!!

ETA: There's a gathering thread here, so just post when you can and we'll establish some kind of order as we go along. o/

If we need to split up, there'll be sub-threads or something.

Just a reminder

Apps close forever and ever and ever at the end of August 4th, EST. So, that' only a couple more days! So fine-tune those apps, or get cracking if you've had a change of heart and want in!

And by the way? Everyone has passed Activity Check! You guys rock, you know that? ♥

Also, as for the current plot, if you're not aware of what's going on in this thread, stay tuned~

~~not that anyone will be able to tell~~

My dad's been in the hospital since Saturday and we're not sure when he's getting out. He's fine, for the most part, the doctors just don't know wtf is wrong with him so they're holding onto him until they have some idea.

But as a result, my mood and motivation for... well, anything is at a low. It may take me a bit longer to post in the investigation team than I'd like, since it's hard to get me going rn. If you need me, you can PM me or send me a private plurk or, if you see me, drop me a line on AIM.

Anyway, I just figured I would make this an official heads-up. This affects just Xion here (

worldsapart).

So about those app things...

I have done a bit of thinking, and I'm making the executive decision to extend the deadline for applications another week.

So that means I absolutely, definitely, this time FOR SURE will be closing apps by the end of the day on August 4th. (EST time as always.)

Seriously. I mean it.

Don't let the Olympics distract you for too long (if you're watching them! I know everyone won't be because of reasons), I'll have to put in an Olympics event and really, I don't think anyone wants to see the sort of "sporting" events I can come up with... ~~Or do you? /eyes you all~~

But anyway, yes! Apps are open until the end of August 4th!

TELL YOUR FRIENDS/ACQUAINTANCES/INTERESTED PARTIES.

Oh, and hit up the activity check if you haven't yet! (Or poke me if you're worried about not making it for this month!)

That is all! Unless I'm forgetting something, but I don't think I am.

Investigation team... ASSEMBLE!

It looks like a bit of organizing may be necessary for Ichijou's angry mob. I wasn't sure how many people would be in on it, but we've got at least 5(!!) so far and are open to as many as LITERALLY EVERYONE.

(Current positions:

Ichijou: Psychotic leader, manicurist, loose cannon, torture technician
Croix: Ladies' man, cool tough guy, voice of reason, ROCKET LAAAAAAANCE
Sophie: Right-hand woman, team mom, seamstress, has had enough of this shit
Xion: The cute one, BFF, magical girl, the heart
Hawk: Ninjathief, member #2 of the Fabulous Hair Club, general bro, bug poison consultant)

ETA: Okay, the popular option seemed to be converging, so I made a new thread under the screamy post titled [ASSEMBLE!]. The post order will be first-come first-serve.

Anyone being a slowy-joey can shoehorn themselves in whenever and we can shift it.

you can just call me hey you

Hey Luministi, what's up? Some person here with this guy Nero from Devil May Cry 4. I was originally going to go for Yuki Judai from Yugioh GX! some months ago but, well, yeah. Nero sounded more fun, somehow.

Even though he's a bigger jerk. Sometimes. It depends.

He's also snarky and somewhere between lame and cheesy. Or he's both at the same time. It's Devil May Cry, I think both are to be expected and both are necessary! Missiles, guys, missiles!

Anyway, all that aside, I'm happy to be on board! You've got an awesome looking cast of characters from some awesome fandoms. OH AND MY AIM IS BELDERIVER AND PLURK IS

Hey! This is late, but howdy. I'm Folded, new to this place and I'm bringing in Dave Strider, from Homestuck. I'm in the process of moving and have some rl complications but, I'll be around and tossing him into a fray. Looking forward to playing with you guys!

A very important Slowiatus notice for three!

ATTENTION LUMINISTI!!

Maggie here. I am going on slowiatus, for a very, very good reason:

I am kidnapping your mod, aka Jchan. I am also kidnapping your former mod, Megumi. I will be stealing them away to my Louisiana home. There will probably be voodoo involved. ... or at least Halo. Oh, and we're gonna drive to Austin for a weekend, too. It'll be pretty awesome.

I mean. *coughahem!* I shall make them reveal secret Luministi things!!

or at least try. ... and probably just get looked at real funny. >.>

.... Anyway, point is, All three of us are going to be slow to tag for the next two weeks, and completely gone this weekend.

This will affect:
Jchan: Ten, Wash
Maggie: Croix, Natsuo
Megumi: Sophie

Stay classy, citizens of Luministi! We'll be around~ ♥

Checks of the activity making kind!

This is the first of three activity checks for the final season. For the Activity Check, I'm modifying the requirements a bit, but next month, they will be back to normal. Copy the coding below that applies to you (one entry and one thread, or simply three threads/log threads) and post it as a comment to this entry.

Players who are currently on hiatus or were accepted into the game within the last two weeks are exempt from the activity check. (I don't believe we have anyone on hiatus, so there we go!)

One entry and one thread

Three threads

This activity check will remain open for one week, after which point characters who have not yet responded will have only three days before, unfortunately, they are removed from the game.

Now, if you have any questions or are concerned about not being able to make the activity check, please let me know! I'll definitely work with you. ♥

ALSO, a very important reminder! There will be a 4th wall event on June 30th! Like our past 4th wall events, this will be part of the game canon, so any potential players can get some CR prior to joining the game. It is also a new plot day, so don't worry, ~things~ will happen. The zombies can't last forever...right?

Another quick note--or rather, a question. Remind me, is anyone's character sensitive to time?

That will be all for me! Hope you're having fun with the zombie invasion~

(EDIT: By the way, by "sensitive to time", I mean are they sensitive to the passing of time, like, can they feel it as one of their senses? Or feel the rippling of effects in time like something disturbing a calm pond? That kind of thing ^^; Sorry about that!)
