❖ MOON CYCLE 123 ❂ 7/22 - 7/31

Phase: New Moon

Weather: Starting Sunday, a Partial Solar Eclipse will occur. It will begin around noon and by late afternoon, will make a crescent shape in the sky (like this.) The strange part of it all? This will last all through the cycle.

Effects: No matter the type of dream, there will always be an uneasy feeling of being watched, and dreams may be plagued with strange shadows. Interactive dreams may also have appearances of Nightwalkers (more information below.)

Notes:

• Activity Check. The AC is going up in a couple of days so get your links ready!
  
  
• Some important links. This event is big, so here are some helpful links to help keep you from getting lost!
  
  • Overall Plot Summary. This is an overview of everything that will be happening for the rest of July. It's a good place to go for the big picture. We've also created a spreadsheet of where characters will be during each step of the event.
    
  • Somarium Defenders! If your character is staying to help defend Somarium, check out this post for more information and plotting.
    
  • Police Force. Interested in serving the greater good and justice of Somarium? Want to help protect this world? Then possibly look into this post.
    
  • CR Meme and Event Plotting. This post is a good place to gather and plot for the upcoming event. It's also a very good place to start looking for new CR, be it for this event or for the future.
  
  
• Schedule. For reference, here are the dates again for the different parts of the event and when the logs will go up:
  
  • 7/20: Barrier drops [Signal Post]
    
  • 7/22: Solar Eclipse; attack on Somarium [Log #1]
    
  • 7/24: First Evacuation Group; arrive 7/26 [Log #2]
    
  • 7/28: Transport returns to help [Log #3]
    
  • 7/31: Final Evacuation [Log #4]
    
  • 8/01: Regroup in Ob Holm [Log #5]
  
  We may actually bump up the regrouping log and shorten the time the second evacuation trip takes. The "2-day trip" had more OOC reasons than IC reasons since it was mostly to allow players more time to thread. But we may be able to handwave most of the aftermath for the second evacuation, have IC reasons for the trip to go faster, and give more time for characters to settle into Ob Holm at the end.
  
  
• Ob Holm. As mentioned before, characters will be ICly brought to Ob Holm after the first and second evacuations of Somarium. Details on the city will be included in the first evacuation post that will go up on the 24th.
  
  
• Reminders. Just a few quick reminders re: the event.
  
  • Logging. Remember that most of the action logging threads will be made in their designated posts. There will be specific directions in each, so make sure to read them!
    
    
  • Noctaere, Nightwalkers, and you. The noctaere that will appear will be run of the mill, but remember the Nightwalkers are the higher tier leveled type of monsters. Also remember that Nightwalkers can attack people in their dreams, so if you want an interactive dream with those, go for it! (Interactive dreams can be made outside of the designated Attack log.)
    
    
  • Dreamberries in Ob Holm. This won't be applicable until the evacuation stage, but remember that once characters are in Ob Holm, they won't be able to 1) use their Dreamberries or 2) contact those still in Somarium.
  
  
• Death Tally. Is your character going to die or you're thinking about having them killed off during the event? Tell us! Comment to this post so we can add it to the spreadsheet and see how many characters get offed. This will also help other players know if a character related to theirs died and we can create an IC casualty list to be reported. But as a reminder, if you do kill your character, they will not be brought back to life until August 5 once everyone is back in Ob Holm.

Should you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.

Ken's going to get killed, probably during the first evacuation.

ETA: On the spreadsheet Ken's listed as making it to Ob Holm, which is... well, probably not going to be happening. For obvious reasons. Is there any chance this could be corrected, please?

[twinkle_toes]

Aang is getting offed in Attack #1. 8Db

[likearhino]

Beat's dying in the second attack.

[dame27]

Offing Fran during the 2nd attack.

[loveiscash]

Hokuto will die during first evacuation, I think.

[savesthedance]

Artemis is dying during the second attack.

[2nd_violinist]

Subaru is going to die during the end of the first attack.

Nevermind, he'll just be severly injured.

[buildingreality]

Ariadne is being killed by Schmidt in a mostly unrelated incident that takes place during the event.

[gadgets]

Spanner's still auto-piloted on hiatus, but I'd like to have him die in the first attack if that's fine! (The return date is effectively the same as the end of my hiatus, so I thought it'd be a fitting way to bring him back into the game!)
