Welcome to the Forest of the Lost, Mafuyu's FFA palace! As such, I encourage both existing and new CR. The palace will begin after we've had a bit of time to settle, but we're launching into it tonight for sure.
As the palace runner, my tagging time is primarily early afternoons to late evenings EST, with Sunday being a free day entirely. Should anything occur otherwise, you will be informed.
Ping me on discord to tap out or alert me to autopilot!
Now, please fill out the following:
Name: Type: Utility/Fighter Element: Weakness: Core Emotion: Please choose one of the following: Compassion/Love, Loneliness/Desire to Connect, Innocence/Fear, Passiveness/Apathy, Rebellion/Hope, or Anger/Protectiveness.
CONTENT WARNINGS INCLUDE SUICIDE, EMOTIONAL ABUSE, PARANOIA, SURVEILANCE, SOCIAL MANIPULATION, ISOLATION AND POTENTIALLY DISORDERED EATING.
Characters will appear in the palace wearing all white. The vibes are "tattered doll", but everything must be white.
For every instance of "misbehavior"- swearing, stepping on the flowers, stealing an apple from the garden, or anything else (you WILL be alerted)- a smear of dirt will appear somewhere on your clothing. The dirtier the clothing, the worse palace npcs will treat you, from slightly rude to outright hostile.
Standard battles, you will have one action per turn. Healing/Buffs/Debuffs do not require a roll, and are separate actions. Any attack will require a roll, with an 11 or higher being a hit- the higher the hit, the more damage done. This applies to both Players and Enemies.
The Lights and the Music Box
For a brief time (one turn), consulting with your specific light will calm any anxiety, paranoia or doubt. The music box is a full cleanse, but the person holding it must be able to get it wound to do so.
BOSS FIGHT MECHANICS
Players get one action per turn- an attack, a heal, or a buff/debuff. AOEs will target four enemies, or three allies and the caster. Cleanses and buffs will be enacted in the turn after they are cast. Attacks must be rolled for (11 or higher). Physically attacking the Queen will use the Marionette as a human shield until the Marionete is rescued. The Marionette cannot act of her own free will.
CUSTOM STATUS EFFECT: BUG
BUG inflicts the targetted charaacters with PARANOIA.
Those hit with Bug must roll a d3.
1. They are consumed with paranoia and anxiety, and are unable to attack this round. 2. They attack blindly and with disadvantage. 3. They perceive allies as enemies and traitors, and will attack them instead.
Bug can be cleansed with either cleansing spell, or the Music Box, but a residual unease remains afterward.
Name: Redd Type: Utility Element: Electric Weakness: Wind Core Emotion: Anger/Protectiveness, but I can switch to Rebellion/Hope if we've got too many of the former, lmao
Little by little, you may appear in a vast, empty space. Whatever you were wearing is gone, instead replaced by somewhat tattered pure white clothes.
Though it seems serene, there's a bitter chill in the air. A black stage waits for performers who may never appear, but... beside it, there's several things left about. A small table set up with multiple cushions. A mannequin with an in-progress outfit. A painting on an easel. An old music box. A pristine aquarium housing seagrass. And a black silk ribbon.
In the opposite direction is a pitch-black forest. Eventually, you know in your heart, you must go to it. That's where your victim waits, after all. But for now...
He's pulled into the vast empty space and given Soujuurou-esque clothes, but he's more interested in investigating his surroundings, so he'll take a look at that painting. ]
[Oh, cool, guess we're doing this palace as a catboy. Not like he needs his armor or anything!! Not like he's going to be feeling ill at ease without it!!
Anyway, Fray's going to go check out the black ribbon. What's up with this?]
Given that it's only a (short) matter of time before discovering whose palace this is... he'll investigate the music box, winding it to see what it plays.]
