ARE YOU ENJOYING THE TEST?

//JUST AS A SEED TAKES ROOT.



A SPECIAL AREA.

The keywords Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground will take your characters to an Area unlike any they have visited before. Knowing what's happened there already, are they willing to brave it?
GUILDS.
Go forth and recruit new guild members! If your character is a guild leader, they've been equipped with a few goodies to help them in their venture. Guild leaders can also open the doors of their @ homes so those who are curious can get a sneak peek of their guild.
GRUNTIES.
The Grunty Ranch has opened! Have you always wanted to raise a possibly cute, possibly terrifying creature from infancy to adulthood? No? Well, now you can anyway!
WEATHER.
It's getting a little warm in Mac Anu. Actually... it's getting very warm, to the point that it's almost unbearable. You even feel the effects of the heat long after logging out. At least Lumina Cloth is faring better.
CARNIVAL.
What better way to distract yourself from the concerning heat than a few carnival games? Play a few games, eat some fried food, and interact with your fellow beta testers in various ways to earn new skins! What's there to worry about when you've got a giant new plush to display in your private room?

    Class: Tribal Grappler

    Plans:
    - Guild Recruitment!! Come and join Glamour if you want to meet new people and show off your outfits, etc.! Please come to her open house! As for Kara's cocktail, drinking it will lead to something interesting: A sense of feeling resentful, but you try to be in good spirits anyway.
    - Carnival: I might be up for PKing (Kara can be on either end of it), hit me up if you want to plot something related to that. Otherwise, dunk tank and hall of mirrors are available!
    - And, of course, she'll be getting her own Grunty.


    Seeking: New guild members, friends, enemies. I want it all.
    Offering: Positive and negative CR are welcome! Kara is a little boisterous, social and approachable, but the guild drink implies that there's a little more than what meets the eye. :) I am also always here for area exploration, so please feel free to hit me up if you need someone to team up with!

    Anything else: I'll probably be letting go of intro threads soon, given that the log is taking a while to load HAHA. If there's anything you'd like to continue, let me know and I can take it to Kara's private thread post on the log comm.

    Plans:

    -special area: fai will be checking out the hulle granz cathedral if anyone wants to join!
    -guild recruitment: he has a 25+ (old man) guild, but fai will have the @ home open for anyone who wants to check it out regardless of their age! come have some coffee made by him!!! i haven't decided on the drink effect yet, but maybe flirty... or depressed
    -carnival: fai is gonna be all over the games and fried food!! i'm up for him being PKed so someone can get a skin, but he will absolutely get revenge hehe... i'm also up for hall of mirror things, but be warned that fai doesn't have particularly nice memories
    -grunty: fai will of course have a grunty, but i'm not sure if i'll include that in his tl or not just yet... but he's absolutely gonna go check out everyone else's

    Seeking: EVERYTHING
    Offering: fai is pretty outgoing and good at dragging unwilling characters into things, so if you want any of that he's perfect for it! he's also a very good listener and honestly pretty good at giving advice or gently calling others out. oh, and he's secretly mega depressed so if you want your character to deal with that or bond with him over it, feel free!

    Anything else: i'll be working to wrap up some intro threads over the next day or so!

    Class: Macabre Dancer

    Plans: I already have an event tl up! so all of that is fair game, but for the quick rundown:
    •owen is making drinks at the guild recruitment event! he doesn't actually care about getting people to join because the only guild he's in at the moment is telophoroi, so just come bother him and maybe try to convince him to join your guild...!

    •owen is going to raise an army of grunties. that's it, that's all you need to know.

    •carnival games! carnival festivities! someone win this man some tacky prizes because he doesn't deserve them - or try to convince him to be the victim for the dunk tank.

    •also you can look at one of his mysterious memories, i guess.

    •THAT IS ALL THAT'S CONCRETE AT THE MOMENT but i am always up to do something stupid!! or... emotional? :gasp: or a mysterious third thing.

    Seeking: i want everyone to be subjected to this entity.
    Offering: local bastard who is also sometimes not a bastard and who has a laundry list of problems and issues but he is at least a disney princess, also.

    Class: Lord Partizan

    Plans:
    Mr_Misteaks was part of the glitchy brigade so he's wandering around with a title he shouldn't have. Neat!

    He's going to want to start up a guild with Levi now that those are going around, but they'll probably argue about what the guild's gonna be about, so stay tuned to see if it's gonna be about anime or about food or about anime food. /s

    He is going to LOVE the carnival despite the heat.... mostly for the food but if you want a strong buff guy to try to win carnival games with you or get dunked and soggy i the dunk tank then here he is. He also has his insect wings and will 100% be a standing self-fan during the heat so I will have a toplevel if people just wanna be stupid and use him as a cooling device. Those that know his normal appetite are free to notice he's not really mowing things down at the frightening pace that he would normally.

    If anyone wants memshares, please let me know, though be advised there will be content warnings for familial death, child death, verbal and mental child abuse, and some very very unhealthy thinking. If you need more specific warnings just HMU and I can give more details if you are worried!

    Seeking: anything really, i hopped in late to intro so I need to strengthen CR
    Offering: a giant goober boy who is very tall, very gullible, very sweet and full of food, but could also piledrive you if you wanted.

    Avatar Name: Oriade (Oria)
    Class: Steam Gunner

    Plans:
    - Oriade is down to PvP, whether it's in the arena, for the carnival event, or wherever!
    - I will only thread a memshare from Oria's end if we talk about it beforehand. I'm all game for him seeing as many memories as you guys want of your characters.
    - Oria will mostly be in Lumina Cloth unless he has to go Mac Anu for some reason. It's fucking hot in Mac Anu. He doesn't need that.
    - Oria will also be looking around at guilds (the only reason why he'd be in Mac Anu right now). He most likely won't make his own unless he needs to for whatever reason.
    - Oh, right. Oriade was part of the weapon katamari thing and also got a title, but he pissed them off, so now his title is "Big Whiny Baby" and can't be unequipped. He'll be trying to hide it but lol
    - Whatever happens, happens.

    Seeking: More CR! Deepen CR! Positive CR or Negative CR. You name it. I'm here for literally everything and anything. Try me.
    Offering: Some obnoxious 18-year-old who is intent on living out his youth as much as possible before spring semester starts for him. He can flirt with anyone, snark at someone, be that one concerned friend, and more.

    Anything else: If anyone wants a thread with Hien for whatever reason, that's fine too. He's available for the carnival things too, but would you really.

    Class: Adept Rogue, see stats

    Plans:
    ‣ joining guilds! already going to be in Good Luck Have Fun, but he'll be wanting to join more (looking at you The Epicurians and maybe Glamour so he can appreciate all the cool drip)
    ‣ dealing a poker game/chill party as a guest of the fine wine guild (probably in the lull between this event and the next??)

    ‣ memshare memshare memshare, who wants to see cute kid justy? because that's two of his memories, and the last one is sad. no major trigger warnings here, the first two are pretty wholesome but insightful to him as a character.
    ‣ he's all over this carnival so if any CR he already knows needs someone to invite them then ta-da. actually anyone lucky enough to be on his path to the carnival will also get a cheerful invite.
    ‣ also might ask someone to PK him but his luck would get in the way at first, so we could have some fun with it-- he just wants the skin without the pain!!!!! :cries:
    ‣ dunk him!!! vote now whether he should end up with a fundoshi style swimsuit or a brokini

    ‣ he will debate the responsibility involved in becoming a dad. a grunty dad. this includes potentially going back to the area that turned him into a grunty once -- to see if he can frolick with his new grunty.
    ‣ new friends and area runs that need a tank!

    Seeking: anything really! he's got some good cr started already despite my belated beginnings. but there's always room for more. the good, the bad, the potentially spicy wholesome!
    Offering: a laid back flatterer who drinks too much!

    Anything else: let's party

They can finally get their PVP on!! I actually want to get Matoba the ghostie skin so Oria is free to knock him out in their battle, either fairly or through some hilarious hijinx, whichever you would prefer!

(also sorry for everything and anything he's about to do @ Hien ... maybe he does wanna drag him to the carnival, huh? you never know...)

    Plans:

    I don't think I'm going to toplevel on the event, but I'm definitely going to tag around and reach for some new CR! Always open to closed threads, too ♥

    ›› Hülle Granz Cathedral. Joonghyuk's definitely going to explore this area, the "including humanity’s last stand against the ■■■■■■ ■■■■" part got me in chokehold, welp. If anyone wants to join him, hit me up and I'd love to start things off!! A party of two (meaning Yjh and one more person) preferred because laughs in my silly little timezone.

    ›› Guilds. He's joining Bookwyrms, so expect him to lurk around the guild home whenever he's trying to chill. Since he's an old man (28), he qualifies for Fine Wine, someone pls drag him there. He's going to check out other guilds, too!!

    ›› Grunty Ranch. Time to show off his soft side while taking care of a baby Grunty. Probably gonna feed the lil guy Bear Cat Eggs so it can be just as grumpy as he is :)

    ›› California girls. If someone wants to grab the carnival exclusive skins, Joonghyuk will be very happy to stab help :) He's very practical, so letting someone PK him in exchange is definitely on the table.

    ›› Hall of mirrors. The memories I would like for this memshare prompt are Yjh winning his first esports tournament or him subduing a man who went on a stabbing rampage in a subway car, two very different flavors. He's not going to be happy about this because he avoids talking about his life offline as much as possible. I'm fine wih him seeing other people's memories, though.
    Seeking: Newbies, MMO veterans, anyone who can deal with Yjh being Yjh
    Offering: Old man yaoi with a very creative player name who is as straightforward as he can get and also rude like 80% of the time because of all the bullshit going on. But he likes the game A LITTLE BIT (tsun).

    Plans: Pretty much just reacting to stuff as it goes down after the excitement the equipped player chain caused!

    - I want him to get the ghost skin and a swimsuit skin so... please... PVP him. Or let him dunk you? He refuses to get in the tank.
    - He might get a Grunty.... gotta consume Content™
    - He still is investigating the strange messages and everything connected to the lore drops we got!
    - Probably will be staying away from memshare for now, I like to slowburn that kind of stuff...! His are too incriminating, haha

    Seeking: Stupid PVP hijinx, stupid carnival game hijinx, and some rumors to pass around
    Offering: Water induced violence, PVP induced violence?? and current event shit-talking

    Plans:

    - Michel was on the initial special area spelunking crew and is open to tagging along on further investigation or getting exasperated at people continuing to poke it. Either/or.

    - His inventory is also getting full so he's in need of a guild. OOCly I'm planning to dump him in Fine Wine, but he'll be easy to drag into multiples (again, he really needs the storage space...) as long as the expectations seem low. Or nonexistent.

    - He'll be at the carnival! TL to follow in a bit, but he'll be meandering around the food and also willing to dunk people. While he won't initiate PKing, people can make a run at him if they want.

    - Grunty raising will be happening in Lumina Cloth... Mac Anu is dead to him until the heat stops. He'll also be snooping around other people's grunty-raising approaches to see what results people get.

    Seeking: Everything!! Positive, negative, fluffy, new, all.
    Offering: A sarcastic and depressed man who is 20% grumpier this week. He's not outgoing, but he's opinionated about games and he won't usually turn down a party invite. Good if you want someone who will listen and/or someone who's relatively easy to tease.

    Anything else: traveling some so I will be slowish/backtagging more next week, as a heads up

RUNS AT FOR DEATH

the long-awaited PVP!! Michel wouldn't actually be going for the kill, but if you want to get both skins for Oria I'm down for shenanigans happening.

stares at memshares... looking at Oria's warnings, they could potentially have an interesting exchange. but it's also really early days for their CR, so there's something to be said for waiting for another chance. I'm down either way!

Michel is already going to want to apologize to Justy after the cathedral fallout... maybe they can hang out at the carnival, or he can catch a cute kid memshare to feel extra guilty?
