WEEKS 7 & 8
WEEKS 7 & 8
THE SEASONS TURN...
- Time really passes, doesn't it? Before you know it, you're halfway through the time that the goddess Braphine has promised that you'll be here, your home away from home. You are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, maybe, even through all the challenges and eventful (!) twist and turns that have followed you through your stay here. Surely there can't be anything else lurking in the wings, right?
Through the efforts of all of Braphine's chosen, the city definitely is starting to feel a little bit cheerier, in contrast to the temperatures that are starting to cool as the seasons in Sunset City turn and the leaves change their colour. The Shopping District and the Entertainment District look and feel decidedly more warm, and a quick trip into the Nekyia also show that the haze has cleared from both districts, with the Shadows lurking much fewer in number.
Further exploration will find that the haze has thinned to explorable levels in the Nekyia Fashion District - there are Shadows to be cleared, after all. Maybe if you are lucky, they might drop you a little something in reward for your efforts.
DO YOUR PART FOR CHARITY!
- On Saturday, there's a notice pinned in the lobby of the dormitory:
CHARITY EVENT FOR THE TEMPLE OF BRAPHINE
9/21
FLEA MARKET AM
FORMAL MASQUERADE BALL PM
Come and support the temple when we need it most!
Yes, you read that right: There will be a Charity Event for the Temple of Braphine, hosted by no one other than her devoted followers. They sent this over to the dorms to request the Chosens' assistance, it seems, and as the flyer says, this is an all-day event to take place on September 21st.
In the morning, there will be a Flea Market! There's a note from the hosts that they'd like the Chosens to either find a vendor to assist, provide entertainment, or participate as vendors in the Flea Market. At night, a ball will be held with live music, dinner, refreshments, and an open dance floor for all. They are not asking for your assistance with the ball, however; rather, you are automatically invited as esteemed guests and are encouraged to dress your finest for the occasion!
Given that this isn't for another week, however, it is highly encouraged that you shop around to find an outfit you'll look snazzy in for the ball. You can also start preparing merchandise to sell; or maybe, perhaps, you'd like to save that street performance for the Flea Market? Either way, you've got a long week ahead of you…
…but it won't be all rainbows and sunshine.
KEEP DREAMING.
Late into the night on Saturday, you will dream. What that dream consists of varies with each individual, but you will have one, even if you've never dreamed before. This dream could be a core memory, or perhaps about something you've always wanted, your worst fear...the list goes on.The next day, anyone who enters the Nekyia will find that, aside from the strange "Palaces" that have popped up, things aren't right yet again…but for an entirely different reason. No matter where you are, you enter the Nekyia to a hallway full of dressing rooms. It's a fairly long hallway, because venturing down it will eventually lead you to a door that has your name on it.
Why don't you journey there and find out what awaits?
–
After seeing "Sayaka" and finding your door, you'll find something even more strange.
That dream you had last night? Well, it's here. Your dream may manifest as a small, contained landscape from your dream; a creature that you may have dreamt of might be scurrying around; another version of you, different from a Shadow; or you could be unlucky and have one of your memories on full display for everyone to see.
This phenomenon will last for the next two weeks, and dreamscapes will shift with the different dreams characters have. It won't be a one and done ordeal, unfortunately…but there is, perhaps, a way you can stop it.
(OOC: Sayaka's top level is NOT time sensitive, nor is it a mod-run event. This can be treated like a regular top level to be tagged at your own pace!
Please see the "A Dream Unraveled" commission for some details on what's causing the dreamscapes to appear! Welcome to your dreamwalking/memory share event!)
WEATHER FORECAST
Temperature: hot and humid, but gradually getting cooler! Surprise showers may occur during these two weeks when you least expect it, so stay sharp and don't get drenched!
Characters who journery into the Nekyia when it is raining may find HP-restoring items dropped during combat with Shadows.

READ ME!!!!
- Welcome to your log for Weeks 7 and 8! Feel free to use this log for any developments that happen during the next two weeks. There will be no log posted next week, but a top-level for the charity event will be posted instead on next Saturday!
For plotting, please feel free to head over to this post on the OOC comm to post your plotting top levels.
For Nekyia commissions, you can assume that the Shadows will respawn until they've been beaten enough times to go back to normal.
Don't forget that the deadline for applications and character swaps is on September 28!
WEEK 8 CHARITY EVENT
September 21st rolls around, and that means the charity event does, too! The flea market is held in the shopping district, meaning…
The flea market is a huge success! It seems like Braphine's temple managed to rope in quite a few familiar venues: The boutique that did the photoshoots in Week 1 is here. So is the Sunset Grand Theater, which has an informational booth on upcoming plays. The two fashion brands Cookies for Mice and Panthera Punks have small booths with some of their clothing on display, though they are notably separated from one another. A lot of the restaurants that had your assistance with bringing in customers are selling their delicacies.
Furthermore, thanks to Ai's hard work, your performance efforts will come to fruition here! Kirumi also had a hand in going all-out on the decorations for your performance, so make sure to come out and support your fellow Chosen!
The ball is held in a hotel, in which one of their ballrooms transforms into a rather elegant-looking venue with drapery, refreshments, round tables and live music. It's bright here, and all of you along with some other special guests and Braphine's devotees (including Mina!) are welcome to join in on the festivities.
For dinner, all of the Chosen will receive their all-time favorite food, courtesy of the Goddess herself. How generous! You are also free to sit wherever you'd like. Light refreshments are also available to grab at any point throughout the night.
The dance floor opens up after dinner, and the live orchestra starts with music suitable for slow dancing. However, a DJ takes the stage later, and the music gets more upbeat. Welcome to Prom…?
One thing to note about the ball, however, are the few mysterious, colored threads that are connecting characters to one another. They are different colors, such as red, blue, green…and these threads will instinctively tell characters how they currently feel about one another. The threads that pop up are some of your feelings towards one another. Only the Chosen can see these threads, and they will appear as characters get physically in the vicinity of one another, and fade once they are apart. There will also be white threads for characters who are strangers.
(Characters will not be able to see threads between other characters; they can only see their own. For example, Yoon cannot see Aubrey and Josh's threads between each other, but he can see the threads between himself and Aubrey, and himself and Josh.)
Something to note about the threads, though, is in the middle of the ball, some of them will suddenly change colors… which also means so does the nature of some of your relationships, even if it's temporary. Maybe you're suddenly in love with Aaron when you loathed him before. Maybe you weren't friends with Falin before but now you would fight tooth and nail for her. Maybe you got along with Atem, but you suddenly want to pvp him. Perhaps standing up to McGillis might've been an easy task before, but now, you fear him.
The threads will all fade by the end of the ball, and you will no longer see them after the event. Your relationships will also go back to how they once were…hopefully!
(OOC: Yes, we are pulling from the hearts meme for the ball prompt, so please reference those colors and meanings in your prompts! So we do not overwhelm anyone, please choose up to 3 threads max for each piece of CR, that you wouldn't mind being visible to them ICly. The meme template's flavor text will be what they instinctively know, and any CR-specific details other than, for example, "I would date you." can be disclosed by the characters themselves if they choose to elaborate.
For the second half of the hearts meme prompt, please make sure you are all on the same page in regards to the nature of your CR. The second prompt is optional for those who do not want to engage with changing up too many pieces of their CR, even if it's only temporary!
We are approaching the start of a long endgame, and we only have a little over a month's worth left of the game. Therefore, we highly encourage everyone to branch out and make new cr if you have the capacity to, and of course, expand on your existing cr!
You may re-use Week 7&8's plotting post for this event.)
FLEA MARKET
STREET PERFORMANCE
Throughout the day, performers take to the streets of the flea market with singing, dancing, circus tricks, and more! If you see them, give a round of applause to our performers and helpers!
Kirumi has pitched in to coordinate everyone's schedules and ensured that the once-littered shopping district is looking spotless and spruced up to receive our stars. She's even rallied the locals and gotten their help in decorating and marketing the performance. Never doubt the talents of the Ultimate Maid!
When not performing, Ai will be flitting around the district handing out water and cheering for other performers. Once the flea market comes to a close, everyone has a few hours to freshen up before the ball begins. At some point during the ball, Ai will call the volunteers together for a toast to their hard work. She couldn't have pulled it off alone! Good work team!
[ ooc: Thank you mods and all participants! ♡ ]

[After a tumultuous week, the flea market and street performance is a breath of fresh air compared to all the interpersonal drama that's been happening everywhere. It's also been some time since he last performed with his specialty, and even if this isn't a professional venue like he's used to, he might as well go all out, right?
That's why he's dressed up in his theater costume for his sword dance performance, movements graceful and rhythmic in contrast to his usual brash demeanor. On occasion though, he seems to incorporate something a lot more flashy -- like flipping the sword into the air and catching it -- before resuming the rest of his routine.
If he also recognizes you and likes you enough (which, honestly, is pretty much anyone who's spoken to him as long as your name is not McGillis), he might even blow you a kiss.]
flea market
[After the performance, Aaron will be just hanging around the flea market once he's back in his usual everyday wear. He's not helping with anything but he will peek in on peoples' stalls to see what they're offering. If he runs into you at some point:]
Doesn't hold a candle to some of the markets back home, but I guess this isn't too bad.

TEEN COOKIE STALL
There are little cellophane bags tied off with bows containing your pick of a variety of types: chocolate chip cookies shaped like bunnies, snickerdoodle cookies shaped like dog bones, or even sugar cookies shaped like flowers or pokéballs, the latter two featuring cute and delicate piped frosting to add some color to the pastries! They are very cute. Please buy oodles of them to fund??? teens???????? running shops instead of causing trouble probably??????????
Aubrey, for her part, is simply sitting with her arms folded, though she'll get to her feet quickly enough if it looks like they have someone attempting to steal the goods. Eli is the one hawking the wares, on accounts of being loud as fuck. Yoon, for his part, is actually being helpful in getting the cookies wrapped up and thanking customers for their patronage, while Arven handles the most important job of all: actually dealing with the transactions and handling the money, along with helping Yoon with packaging in between sales. You can indicate in your subject line if you want Aubrey, Eli, Yoon, Arven, or any combination thereof to respond!]

It isn't until Celeste has time between his own performances that the escape box finally moves to the forefront.]
Ladies and gentlemen!
[Atem gestures his arms wide with flourish.]
It's now the time you've been waiting for..! Behold: the mystic box of death!
[The box screams tetanus with its chains, rust, and various knives. That's fake, of course, all painted to look real.]
Now this might seem unsafe, but I'd like to perform for you all today a magic trick rarely seen before!
First, give a warm welcome to my lovely assistant, Celeste!
When he spots someone familiar looking for something to eat, he's quick to wave them down so they can try whatever he's eating. And hand them bottled water, too. Stay hydrated!!]
Yo! You want some?

( alongside ai and sayaka, mafuyu is there, singing. and as they all have their own routes, she has a a solo... or two. ... maybe three. don't worry about it. unlike the others, she doesn't focus quite as much as dancing and her stage presence has to be drawn out of her in play, but her voice, at least, is clear and beautiful.
afterwards, she mostly just wants a drink, but can be found to talk with- though a few other residents of the city seem to be pulling her aside to talk about the music too. would kanade be proud, if she knew? )
❄️ FLEA MARKET
( honestly, mafuyu's been neglecting the commissions after a few initial clothes purchases... so she's more window-shopping than anything. )
... It looks like everyone's having a lot of fun...

For those she's acquainted with, among the different colored strings there is one that stands out more prominently than all the others. You'll get the strong sense that she wants to love you, but her feelings are accompanied by a profound sense of fear that she cannot. ]
[ ooc: I'll respond to tag ins with string colors if you're opting in to that! Also open to relationship changes except for maybe falling in love. c': ]

At the start of the party he's mingling happily, and he'll offer to share his alcohol with anyone. Someone should probably also make sure he eats something... When it becomes time for dancing, it's clear he doesn't really know what to do, but is watching the people dancing with some interest.
Maybe tonight looking at him you feel something different than usual? (OOC: I am down for any relationship changes, no matter how chaotic, just let me know what you'd be interested in.)]

Not deterred by this, McGillis has shown up as the elusive Mr. Montag anyway. He got the mask back a few weeks ago, and he'd been itching to wear it again. A masquerade is almost too legitimate of an excuse.
At dinner everyone is saved their favorite food so... McGillis is presented with a big plate of chocolate truffles. It's not exactly dinner food. He seems pleased enough, even if you won't see him eating much. If he catches anyone staring, he will offer them a smile: ] I won't mind sharing, you know?
[ Later during the dance part of the evening, he's... well, he's not exactly wall-flowering, but he's also not dying to get out there. You'll find him with a glass of juice in hand (his right hand! it's getting better!), ready to chat with people who so desire. Maybe you can get a dance out of him...? He demonstrated in Argenti's palace that he's perfectly able to.
Once the threads start appearing more frequently and McGillis becomes aware that this is not going to be an isolated event, you'll find him trying to slip out the door as inconspicuously as possible. Stop him...? ]
((ooc note: I'm not doing the relationship-swap thing for McGillis, but if you want someone's feelings towards him to change you're free to do so. For the feeling reveals, just ping me on Discord to briefly make sure we're on the same page regarding which feelings are revealed!))

There is also an unfamiliar (to many of you) catboy holding up the walls. Who the hell is this guy?? The only familiar thing about him are his light gold eyes and his voice, assuming you want to approach him.
Said catboy is wearing a very goth outfit and a fairly simplistic mask. He's quiet, keeping to himself off near one of the walls, arms folded as he watches everyone else. He doesn't seem annoyed at being here, at least? And yes, his ears will absolutely swivel to whatever sound he hears; he's making no effort to hide them.
To those who are already familiar with him without the helmet on, he holds up a hand in greeting.]
Good evening. How are you enjoying all of this?
[Of course, there are also the strings... but let's discuss this before diving in!]

Unsurprisingly, she can be found plastered to a wall, watching others dance with a forlorn expression on her face, idly munching on refreshments. This felt like one of the school dances she never had a date to--but at least no one was laughing at her, which was a marked improvement.]

she's quiet, and some might take it for a mysterious elegance... but mostly, it's just awkward wallflowering, up until she's presented with a stacked bento box. flavors and textures of home, without any of her mother's influence. onigiri, musubi, and so much more- it's like she's being set up for a picnic.
it's nice! and she's grateful! but also please don't perceive her. (do. she's gorgeous.)

Naturally, he isn't about to miss dinner, and he ends up with a very big steak, a baked potato with all the fixings, and some crispy roast veggies wrapped in bacon. These aren't necessarily his favorite foods, but when one considers most foods his "favorite," this is what was settled on. Eli isn't about to complain!
The rest of the time, he'll be around the refreshment table because he is a bottomless pit, and even that big dinner he had won't stop him from snacking.
As for the threads, when they pop into existence when someone passes nearby, he immediately gives them a funny look and begins trying to wave them away. Every. Damn. Time. Yes, he realizes they aren't tangible. This does not stop him. Sorry, whoever that thread is attached to, you may get weird, tingly thread vibes as he waves his hand through them. ]

for once he fails his stealth rollhe just barely misses his chance to get away (10), he didn't anticipate the ball to get into full swing so quickly.At the very least, he's a pretty wallflower, sipping his champagne and just watching everyone chat, eat, dance, or just generally have fun.
When the dancing starts though, he starts to make longing expressions towards the dance floor, and decides fuck it, and approaches a fellow adult.] May I have this dance?
[Outside of the dancing and the eating though, Shalem is busy ignoring the coloured threads attached to him. Maybe a little unsuccessfully, they're really distracting. However... whoever may just notice Shalem may be able to sense a strong sense of longing, for companionship, for conversation, for something from him. It's strong, so strong one might almost feel like drowning.]
[ ooc: in general i'm okay with some relationship change shenanigans, but i'd rather make new cr or further the cr that shalem already has. if you want to plot first, feel free to tap me at my plotting comment. ]

As for Aerith herself, she's chosen a dress that reminds her a lot of one she wore back home, red and decadent with layered ruffles that cascade down her legs. Her hair is down, too, and sits in loose waves. It's a ball, so she might as well go all out, right? A red mask is affixed to her face, a small rose sitting on the side as an accent.
Throughout the beginning of the ball, Aerith can be found near the refreshments, and if anyone approaches her while she has a drink, she'll offer it. ]
Want it? It's good.
[ It's some sort of fizzy, non-alcoholic drink.
When the music starts, however, she'll be nowhere near the food or the wall. Instead, she'll be on the dance floor, eager to reach out to whoever she can for a dance. ]
Let's dance! It'll be fun, promise!
[ ooc: just give me the string colors if you'd like to do that, and i'll respond with my own! if you want to pick out what they would be ahead of time/coordinate this, feel free to poke me on discord. not open to relationship changes this time, however! ]

Into the function walks this mountain of a man, wearing an outfit that would make most people blush, topped with a fancy cape. Yuri doesn't know what being goth is, but he certainly looks the part, sans makeup.]

and what is he doing at the ball?
well, not much, really. he's mostly standing to the side, not really knowing what to do with the music. still, he doesn't seem uncomfortable either. maybe he just enjoys people watching. ]

Regardless, at dinner, there's the familiar sight of him lingering around others, glass in hand. Okay, tonight said glass is fancy, and the thick, deep red liquid inside could be passed off as wine at a glance, but look at him. We're leaning into the vampire aesthetic now that about half the people around are In The Know.
Then, later, when it comes time to dance, he's not a wallflower in the least. He might not know all the official fancy steps to official fancy dances, but he knows just enough that he can bullshit in time with the music - and isn't the point to be having fun, anyway? Aside from certain individuals he's already promised a dance to, he will be rather intent on picking on wallflowers, to make sure shyness doesn't get in the way of them having a good time.
So much so that when the threads begin to appear... well, he barely notices. For all it matters to him, the odd, shimmering colors in the air are just a trick of the light, or an effect introduced to make the night seem more magical... at least until he has attention called to them, at any rate.]
[ooc: Not super into relationship changes, but come at me with any and all threads/reveals! Plotting is over there if you want it!]
dinner, soon to be dance

Sighing, she looked around the room and pulled on the jacket again. So you just dance? Eat food? Falin could do that but...where to even start?
It was a little overwhelming. Falin looked like she was going to turn around and leave, yanking on the jacket one more time. ]
