THE CONFERENCE HAS BEGUN.

[cccorp]

⬣//GROWING WILDLY OUT OF CONTROL

THE CONFERENCE.

Have you gathered your questions and complaints? Hopefully you have, because it's finally time to hear some answers. You find yourself waiting a bit longer than expected, however.

Actually, you're waiting much longer than expected. What's up with that?

NO WAY OUT.

You try to log out, and you find out that you can't. Your body feels no longer connected to your own sense of self and just about everything in the game feels much more... real.

There truly is no way out.

What now?

Now that you're all effectively trapped in the game, what do you do now?

Well... that's for you to decide, isn't it?

Plans:

First off and most importantly, I will be on hiatus for all of October!! My work busy season has begun and I am generally too exhausted to do much RP during this time. That said, I'm terrible at being on hiatus so we'll see how little I actually tag, lol.
Because of this, I am going to be dropping a large amount of my threads taking place before this event so I can stay somewhat up-to-date (basically anything before my 4.5 toplevel.. I might have to drop the cat cafe threads too but I'll see). LMK if there's anything you want to handwave from those!

ANYWAY dot hackening: Matoba naturally totally saw this coming and left his second-in-command Nanase a bunch of instructions on how to handle things, so his RL body will be fine and taken care of, but she also was given basically anything Matoba knew about CC Corp/Fragment/what he thinks he was able to find about his sister's involvement in it. So in the background of things, she's probably on that beat. If you have out of game NPC's connected to your characters who might have the connections to end up contacting or interacting with her, that might be fun to handwave going on in the bg for later?

Also at the meeting Matoba is basically just going to sit around being calm but bored. Yeah.

Seeking:

Not too much due to hiatus, but I'll basically just touch on 'wow we sure are stuck here' flavored things here and there.

Offering:

A calm, collected, perhaps too logical rock in this sea of anxiety. If your character needs to talk theories or even just Existentialism™, Matoba's a pretty good pick. For certain value of "good".

Anything else:

just trust in this manchild

Plans: What a beautiful day to beat .hack infection for the first time, I'll tell you that

Yjh is going to make sure that everyone stays safe in these trying times. I'd love to have him help someone out during a risky situation. Getting piled on by mobs while gathering resources? He's your guy!! Someone saving him is also on the table because he might be a little too into helping others while still being tsun.

Internally... he isn't going to do so great, but bottling up feelings is the best way to deal with them, right? He might open up a little to close CR about leaving his little sister behind and being worried about her. She's going to call the ambulance and won't even be able to see him because haha he's her only guardian.

Seeking: New CR opportunities!! People to help, people to tsun at, I'm also open to negative CR if someone wants to fuck around and find out.
Offering: A tsun that will try to make sure that everyone stays safe (good luck to him).

ꕤ WOW
ꕤ ok so!! bc of mr_misteaks' (barrett/beel) accident & uneasiness over the recent trend of events, hani went to jp this past week (mon - weds), to look into some stuff. while they were there, they gave their family retainers a list of players to look into. along with a request: to check in on them and anyone on the list (if addresses can be found through public city directories or private research!) should daily communications stop. feel free to handwave if you would like to have your chara be checked on/taken care of by the tachibana retainers. just easy background handwaving with no bearing on cr development bc hani won't know anyway.
ꕤ anyway I guess they're stuck in the game now, so who wants to join their guild (GLHF)? though uh, there is a room with a bunch of "players" that don't move, don't breathe, and don't do anything but exist. they were probably at the meeting all standing in the back like creeps, sorry
ꕤ hani will not stop trying to find the source of the glitches, so more in-game investigation and such even tho they are TERRIBLE at it
ꕤ idk


Seeking: anyfin
Offering: a wavemaster with one (1) healing spell, chaotic energy, and lots hugs & kisses, who is quite fond of all the npcs

Anything else: get ready to come to hani's funeral, for real for real

[trollophoroi]

lmao oh... would fandan be on that list after meeting for real???

[userunfriendly]

REACHES FOR HANI SO FAST

I guess now that they're all trapped there's plenty of time for their postponed hangouts!!!

[ganymed]

Hani plz

Anyway reaches for more threads with them...probably a chat about the sitch or whatever is fine

[worldbent]

I totally want the Matoba clan and Tachibana retainers to get in contact and join forces on the downlow........ laughs in high-low class dissonance here but Nanase is all business so, unlike Matoba, she won't screw around and be flippant/insulting about things at least, haha.

[insinning]

wait why is sinclair not part of hani's guild again

how many guilds are too many....

[legendofthelion]

Given they are already six degrees of separation IRL it'd make sense of Hani did have Dehya's RL info. Like she's got friends but you know

ALSO since they are determined to keep investigating glitches Dehya will want to Keep An Eye On Them just to make sure they don't accidentally get themselves killed or anything.

Class: Steam Gunner

Plans:

- Oria is fine IRL. Must be nice to be living with his family, huh? That said, he learned of some insanely dramatic family news on the tier of overused kdramas the very night before this shit happens, so he's not going to be as chipper this time around. He also wrote a will two weeks ago for other reasons, but lmao.
- He will also be a lot more hesitant about being in parties for dungeon runs. He experienced his special armor scraping Leo's health from full to 1 in a single mishap and he would not like that to happen again. That said, if you want this to happen, let me know. LMAO
- Other than that, I have no plans. He's just going to be in the hangout areas, running dungeons... pretending he's just playing the game like usual.


Seeking: Let us make and deepen CR... positive or negative.
Offering: Steam gunner DPS, profession material/item exchanges, dungeon grinding, etc

Anything else: Hien is also available for everyone to get mad at on his usual toplevel on the event page! He will not bother clearing his name nor explain himself fully (unless forced), so have fun with that.

[alchemicalbirth]

touches down real quick

about what albedo and oria talked before, did we want to backdate that maybe because he did reach cap before the update, though albedo would be willing to still do it post the update NOT SURE IF ORIA WOULD

[userunfriendly]

RUNS FOR YOU HERE

Unapologetically pestering Hien first, but I'll be coming for Oria with our last one wrapping!! My pace is slow but my inbox is almost wrangled so I might TL too... Morose hangout times? Wellness check-in on Oria? Michel will also be somewhat less fatalistic when he finds out that Sinclair prob sent shady people to take him to the hospital (WHEW)

Class: Lord Partizan (Fire)

Plans:
- Sinclair will be ok by pure virtue of living in a work complex!!
- His workplace will be breaking into his phone and pulling up a list of all his contacts from Fragment (literally his only non work related ones) and doing dodgy things to see how many people were affected. If Sinclair has your IRL details of any sort, then probably expect a welfare check from another suspicious company if you want to make sure your character doesn't deteriorate too much
- He'll be hunting down the glitch! Focusing on filling up the library so they don't all die of boredom etc etc
- no seriously, he's going to be stewing and doing some proper investigations into how the fuck this happened to them
- He's mentally fragile rn for a lot of reasons so if anyone wants to see him break or lose it...
Seeking: deepening cr, making new cr, pos or neg
Offering: A good Murder Marshmallow who is not very mentally stable but also deeply stubborn when investigating stuff

Anything else: my sleep crimes continue as long as haki's "have fun with patchurday" comments continue i guess

Class: Macabre Dancer

Plans: - Dealing with the situation w/ people and himself being entrapped in the game. He had a minor let's say freakout at the beginning and ran off to hole himself up in Fine Wine to Calm Down.
- Afterwards, he will try to potentially do what he can and check up on other people because lmao (esp his close ones)
- Other plans including him trying to Look Into Things
- RL things on his end...someone will eventually find him since he does have certain work obligations even if he never connected with them there, plus other connections keeping an eye on him. In short, he'll be fine on that end lol
- In general, he's going to be doing his best but be pretty cynical, suspicious, and a negative nancy about the whole entire situation. If anyone wants to put up with that, feel free
- I'll probably be throwing up stuff for top-leveling and otherwise
- Unrelated to the above, but he'll probably do some bitching out when he's looking for information earning him no favors but it's fine

Seeking: Positive/Negative CR, Deepening CR, The sky's the limit.

Class: Blade Brandier

Plans:

- WELP. Michel will be okay in his coma thanks to a big win for the power of friendship. I'll solidify details later about how much messy fallout it's going to have for him IRL.
- He's going to be buckling down into serious investigation and trying to take this whole thing apart. He's got some working knowledge of German, computers, and being a snarky bastard when stressed if any of these are useful.
- Very invested in not dying and in everyone else not dying! Need another character to be worried about yours making inadvisable choices? He's probably good for it.
- Will absolutely dungeon run with anyone who still needs to levelgrind in order for them to be safer. For those at cap, he'll only run with people he trusts.
- Very quiet and dry about it, but he doesn't love being trapped. Distractions and company are probably welcome. Come discover that he's a terrible cook now that everyone has to eat in-game, idk.

Seeking: all stuff! It's never too late for new CR. Gimme everything.
Offering: fragile DPS who now has a reason to abandon his catastrophic PVP career. Functional disaster adult who will lend an ear to whoever wants it.

Anything else: i need sleep so badly guys

[ganymed]

ganymede hasn't discovered how bad michel's cooking is yet......

Plans: OHHHH BOY.

I'm actually going away on hiatus starting next week! Unfortunate!! So here's what's happening:


☀ Hector will be around until the 28th! After that he will suffer the consequences of his actions and be in gay baby jail until the 11th.
☀ But in the meanwhile, he's going to take it upon himself to make sure EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE GAME stays alive. Nagging, scolding, being nosy, etc. Everything. You going somewhere? He's going to insist he come along and make sure you're okay.
☀ He also started a guild, Dragon's Watch. It's funny. You should join. (He will probably pester people he sees sleeping on the streets to join anyway.)


Seeking: everything we're fucked at this point
Offering: HERE'S YOUR LEVEL CAPPED HARVEST CLERIC, COME AND GET HIM

Anything else:

[gluttoning]

kicks up me leggy

I would love a closed thread with uncle Hector to just touch base about some plans if you are up for it :3c I know you have hiatus coming up though so just lmk

Plans: Digging into mysteries! She'll also party up with people on request, or just insert herself as a melee guard for anyone who needs help leveling or is otherwise squishy since she's at level 50. She'll be making rounds making sure her CR is alive and thriving as much as possible, but she'll look out for newbies too.

Please note none of this means people won't get sassed, that's just part of the package deal.

Seeking: People to investigate with! People to drag her aside and make sure she knows they care what happens to her too?!! But I'm just open to all CR new and old in general gimme
Offering: Sassy gal who knows her way around games and can protecc in fields, etc. if needed. Investigation partner! Gatherer/craftswoman! She's not a terrible cook, specifically, though she does like her food spicy.

Anything else: Pat this cat on the head she is trying so hard for you guys for real

Oh and his body will be fine thanks to Hani.

Seeking: Anything but a PKing.
Offering: need to cheer someone up, or annoy them with ceaseless optimism and stupid logic that is somehow hard to argue against? here he is. Hand holding, hugs, and friendship available at no extra charge.

Anything else: Time to drink more in game, who's with him.

Plans: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Anyway.

>Someone sure just got out of the hospital and wow hey here he is! He was briefly online Friday but would not have stopped to say hello to anyone, and Saturday he would have still been a bit groggy at the start of the meeting. If ya wanna ask him about that leg, feel free - its not like he can feel it anymore! 👌

>His body will be fine, he is with his family recovering from his surgery. RIP to Lucas who is going to age 50 years from this whole experience. Barrett's main worry will, as usual, be his family.

>Barrett is going to be handing out a few pointed invites to Fandom Foodies for people that don't have a guild right now. Come nap and bum off their kitchen while we all suffer through existential dread. He kind of wants to put together gathering teams as a guild activity either for keeping food stocks up, GP up or just making sure nobody is left wanting for materials, food or supplies. Waiting on some mod clarification before I do anything there but thumbsup....

>Misteaks is absolutely fine and handling this all very well and by that I mean LMAO. He's keeping very calm and grounded at least, but he has been under so much stress lately that he will be starting to show it.
CW: ED DISCUSSION, CLICK ONLY FOR DEETS

Barrett struggles with an ED and while he can't damage his real body anymore he sure has some bad habits from IRL that are gonna sneak in more, mostly massive amounts of overeating that he tries to do in partial seclusion and an excessive amount of exercise. Why you getting up at 4am Barrett you don't need to do sprints, go back to bed.

I'll keep content for this subject matter as mild and vague as possible in public, but if anyone wants to have a deeper thread confronting him about some of these behaviors that's def gonna be on the docket this month now that he can't exactly hide it.

>Extremely protective of his CR right now. Gonna pile all his friends together and be like "buddy system >:(." Ultimately he thrives off being able to be a source of strength and protection, and he got a scare about that last week... so he may be a little bit whiplashy between the depression of that and the full 180 into "I feel normal atm, everything is fine we ignore reality because this feels better".

>He has some opinions on their circumstances if people are in a mood to grumble together.

>One may see Mithrun just sleeping on top of Barrett like a cat starting later in the week into next. It's ok. Dont wake the baby. He may ask people for help with some tasks and stuff whenever he's pinned like that. Tasks might be going over to Lumina Cloth to get 1000 creampuffs, or talking to him, or taking his doggo for a walk. You never know.

>He's gonna go snowboarding. Watch him do a sick ollie to hide the pain of reality.

Seeking: Party Runs please he hasn't gone on a dungeon run in a week now... let him Tank, just bring plenty of healing. Also we need to go start a band with Owen's guild as stress relief
Offering: A football player that just lost his dream and his independence and his pride all in one swoop, but hey, maybe video games will help!

Anything else: I'm so tired so have a poll: please tell me how many nights of sleep your character is losing this week bc of the dread. Barrett is at least losing 2.

[threatmewted]

REACHES FOR!!!!! I'm fine with ED discussions therapy cat is here to hang out for talks and bitching.

Plans: WELL. They're stuck now. Dehya will be focused on making sure anyone who needs to go out to dangerous areas is protected, helping gather supplies, and checking in on everyone while trying to minimize panic.

Aside from that she'll help any efforts to try and find a way out. For those who has been keeping up on her affliction from her special area run, it is currently being suppressed! She will continue not to mention that was ever a thing. :)

Her PvP will, of course, remain off unless something forces her hand but she would appreciate y'all not wilding out because they have big problems.

Seeking: Everything? Current CR, new CR, now that Fragment Is Real Dehya will be really proactive in trying to make sure everyone stays alive and relatively okay and look for clues so that they might free themselves before their bodies starve to death or something.

Offering: Strong DPS class who cares a lot about protecting the people around here even if they're dumb or annoying, she doesn't think anyone here deserves actual torture or death (Fandaniel). She's friendly, going to try and be reassuring to mitigate panic, bit of a hero but she's trying not to just throw herself on a pyre so much as drag the fools kicking and screaming before they die.

Anything else: hahahaha

"For those who has been keeping up on her affliction from her special area run" HELLO? :(

Plans:
• Dosei will be...questionable IRL, because while he does *technically* live with family...he can go a full week or more without seeing any of them for work-related reasons. He has also, well, told nobody any of his explicit IRL info so far, so guess he'll die. That being said, his brother may check in due to the fact it's his birthday on Friday. Either way, he won't be in the best shape.
• He's definitely going to freak out. Both about the situation, and about the fact all his sensors and everything are turned back on. He doesn't like that very much.
• He won't be of much help by himself but he can be dragged along once he's. Less panicked. It'll do him some good to not think about it too deeply. Actually being useful for once...a christmas miracle
• Toss up between being more hostile or more vulnerable. Maybe even both. His life sucks and it's piling up bro
• Belatedly getting invited to Dragon's Watch so that's where he'll be probably
• Honestly with the way things are going he may be swapping from annoying voice synthesizer to sign language just to keep himself sane

Seeking: anything. good cr, bad cr, fistfighting in the middle of lumina cloth cr...he probably won't be up for as much casual bullying, though. shocking
Offering: World's most horriblest most depressedest and saltiest gremlin under 5'2" who hates admitting he's cripplingly afraid of shit going on rn. Still has rabies.

Anything else:

Hi Dosei would you like one relentlessly cheerful guy who will adore you no matter what because he likes everyone
