APRIL STATE OF THE GAME
STATE OF THE GAME
⚔︎ LITTLE LOVE - Something strange seems to be happening with the local farm animals. The cows are going on strike, refusing to cooperate with their farmers. Milking efforts will be met with resistance, many cows opt to stay high up in the hills or walk away when farmers come close. Colorful goats rampage around town, each color seeming to have gained it's own ability. Green goats can speak, and speak they do. In fact, they never shut up. They go on about the great strike of 2023, how the cows deserve better treatment, the goats demand higher quality hay, and their brother Barry over there is the worst. Pink goats are flying through the clouds and eating rooftops, and blue have gained super strength-combined with their habit of ramming headfirst into each other, that can't go well at all.
⚔︎ CENTRAL CITY - It begins slowly: first, there are only a few citizens walking through their usual daily routines slowly, sitting at their desks at work but not working, not responding to others who speak to them. Then, it starts spreading. Social media blows up with theories on what's going on, why this seems to be happening. Does it have to do with the confluence? What is happening with them. . ?
⚔︎ SUNSET FALLS Remember the raves that had plagued Sunset Falls last month? A few rumors spreading across Twitter claim that the cause was the local ghostly crew. With the help of a few locals with the ability to communicate with the dead, they created a drug that would make possessing humans significantly easier. While this possession didn't end with the ghosts taking over, it did cause the person they were possessing to be significantly more reckless while the undead enjoyed the feeling of being fleshy once again. The significant amount of ghosts who lingered around raves also caused the shifts in the abandoned buildings.
As it turns out, the rumors were spread by the kids who were originally involved with creating the drugs--and with the dwindling number of teens willing to let ghosties take a ride in their bodies, the death count starts to lower drastically. While there may be numerous teens going through some pretty bad withdrawal symptoms causing low turnout in local schools, it also means the raves come to a jarring halt. Sunset Falls experiences a lull in supernatural activity, but surely that's not going to last for long.
⚔︎ EXCELSIOR - Posted across town are fliers with images of the Starfallen and other known Metas who frequent Excelsior - images of them doing some generally frowned upon activities. Whether they were picking their nose while walking down the street in hopes no one would see it, or walked out of the house with lettuce between their teeth. Maybe they committed a terrible, horrible crime - or maybe the images were heavily edited to make it look like they had when they hadn't. Rob a bank lately? No? Well everyone sure thinks you did! Known Metas may find themselves becoming victims of bad press and encouraged to leave Excelsior - unwillingly, if needed. Ever been kidnapped? Starfallen may find themselves thrown into the back of vans, picked up off the street, and tossed just outside of city limits with only what they had on their backs. Some unlucky ones may even find themselves being held for ransom.

HOUSEKEEPING
Hello, Heroes!
⚔︎ Plotting Comments will now be answered on a weekly basis. Our current plan is for Fridays.
⚔︎ The mod team is working to catch up on some of the behind the scenes things. Because of this, we will not be putting up a big event log this month. Instead, we've included an event in the confluence log. We will be responding to questions and engagements on this post regularly to facilitate movement of the plot.
⚔︎ Related to the above: we are running through a few game changes! Some upcoming (and current) mod posts may be formatted a little different than they have been in the past. We're working on improving the way we put up game information. If you have any suggestions, please reach out to us on MOD CONTACT.
⚔︎ Have any fun plans? Hit us up on PLAYER PLOTS! If you want to follow up on an event, investigate the setting or interact with a NPC, you can also hit up SETTING ENGAGEMENT and NPC ENGAGEMENT respectively.
⚔︎ For the May application round, any current player can extend one invitation. Players planning to invite someone this round should comment below with the player's information!
⚔︎ This game has an unofficial DISCORD SERVER! As a reminder, the moderators will not be monitoring the server's contents. However, players who have issues in the server are still welcome to bring their concerns to us at MOD CONTACT, just as they would with Plurk.
Players unsure whether this affects their characters can check on the GUILDS page. As characters are removed from the Diadem Hotel, players should comment to the HOUSING page with updates on where they are staying. The deadline for February arrivals is MAY 27.

⚔︎ JANUARY ARRIVALS LOSE THEIR FREE RIDE! When characters first arrived, the guilds promised to help them get their footing. Per notices sent to each occupied room, characters have until APRIL 27TH before their stay at the Diadem Hotel comes to an end. Characters who commit to a guild may take advantage of the associated housing subsidy or may use their own personal income to secure private housing.
