DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Fang/Nack has returned! He's looking forward to this heist thing and he'll probably be on hand through the rest of the adventures.

I play him from a combo of IDW/game/headcanon, as I prefer just following the games but do like some of the way IDW fleshed him out. Plus, that's probably the most well-known characterization for him at this time. (We will not discuss the Archie version. No.) The main thing taken from IDW is his tendency to say "mook" and give everybody weird nicknames (unless he respects them enough not to do that). Please let me know if you would prefer him not to give a weird nickname to your character. (He may or may not anyway, depending on if I can think of anything good, lol.)

[During event: open]
[Not long after the ball begins, a map starts to appear on the network.

It's being drawn live, from what appears to be four different sources. In addition to the layout, locations of interest are pinned, often accompanied by notes, images, or even video. (Although sometimes, the image or video is poor and low in resolution - the pins note that some areas seem to have some kind of interference happening.)

The pinned locations include some of the cabinets, the treasures, the...spaces with creatures in them. And of course, the Byvillians. Their location is marked with a timestamp, with unarmed Byvilians marked as "Potential Hostiles" and armed ones as "Hostiles".]


[[ooc: This post can work for any IC wrangling / information sharing / whatever people want to do! Also, there's only four drones, so they're not going to be able to map everything - there's gonna be spaces with no data if your characters want to charge into the unknown.]]

[Video]
[The camera opens up on a beach, where the Olivine City lighthouse is quite clear in the background. Jotaro grumbles off screen before he adjusts the camera and pans it over to a little Munchlax, who is running around in circles, arms in the air. In the water nearby, Jotaro's Lapras is calmly shaking its head, trying to get the Munchlax to train with it.]

... I'm trying to get my Munchlax here to evolve and learn Fissure. I know it can learn it through egg moves so I've been trying to get it to hold on to the Mirror Herb without eating it so it can learn it off my Lapras. However, the little bastard doesn't want to hold the Mirror Herb unless it's in his mouth. Any suggestions?

Munch! Munch! Lax! [Munchlax waves at the camera and opens his mouth, pointing at it. Jotaro sighs.]

...Additionally, does anyone know if Mirror Herbs work when eaten? These things are rare so I'm hesitant to chance it with mine.

-----

[Action]
[If you happen to be in Olivine City for the next week or in Cianwood City, you may find Jotaro training his Munchlax. More likely though, you will see the little Munchlax waddling up to you and looking at you pleadingly for berries. Hello, friend. Do you have fooooood?

If you happen to see Jotaro much later in the week, you will see him with a Snorlax instead of a Munchlax. Jotaro stares at it in disbelief before he shakes his head.]


Good grief, you evolved fast, Tinier.

[Event] [Mingle] The Delicate Dance

[personal profile] trpmods posting in [community profile] revivalproject
WHO: He Rows
WHERE: Byvilie
WHAT: A Dance and a Heist
WHEN: October 23th-25th (forward dating is okay)
WARNINGS: CW: References to enslavement and the trading of sentient beings.
NOTES: While this is a mingle log, players are welcome to make their own Posts as well to cover the rest of October and this event.

After a week of rest, Venidelosia's voice returns on the intercom. She begs that all He Rows who can spare themselves come to their ships’ respective Deep End for a briefing on their upcoming task. As people settle in, they receive a brief message on their communication device asking if they wish an accurate display shared with the other ship or just a simple representation. Seems like she's gonna make sure everyone can see everyone else.

Once those willing to be briefed arrive, she begins to explain the general shape of what she has learned. Firstly, Estariev is a notorious information dealer and a hoarder of unique things. Per Yurebia’s notes that does include sentient beings. Among his collections are limitless detailed star charts of various sectors of space, detailed collections of racial information, and other things that might be useful in your search for the Agrii homeworld. The former two are the most obvious ways to seek what you will need, but Yurebia confirmed that this might not be the only path.

The Briefing )



The Ball Begins )


FAQ


What are the dates for this event?
He Rows will officially arrive for the party on October 23rd, and it will last through the end of October 25th. The nights on Byvilie are rather long. That said, players are free to forward date their event logs. Characters will return to their ships at their will or at the end of the 25th, and from there these ships will flee from Byvilie and be your base of operations until the beginning of November.


Do we have to get involved in the heist elements of this event?
No. You can either choose to engage with a party merely as a masquerade ball, or you could approach this question from a more diplomatic angle. You will see below in the event post that we have a thread for NPCS. You can basically just tag it there to speak to Estariev himself or anyone else present theoretically at the party to see if they might be able to help you.


Can we just trade Estariev for the information?
You can absolutely try. I will note here out of character that at the very least he will require the trading over of 2 player characters and one ship. Yes, we already have a price established for what it would take to get the information out of him. As no individual character owns the ships, you would actually have to speak with others out of character to see if this is an approach that your character would accept if the offer was made.


Are we getting an actual map of the area?
Alas, no. Maps are not quite our specialty.That said, if there's someone that you want to go, we are more than help. Happy to help you find a path to that, and to help you find the kind of adventure that you're looking for here.


Could we in theory just do this as a smash and grab?
Yes, in theory that is completely possible. If you want to do so, please let us know. You will absolutely face combat and there is a chance that you will become severely injured. Anyone who fails in this attempt will of course be captured, and it would be up to their fellow He Rows to try and break them out if this happens. Or to leave them to their fate.


How much detail do we have to go into about our costumes?
As little or as much as you see fit. As all of the He Rows on your ship will have been gathered together before being sent down in waves, assume that it is fair that any of the other members of your ship at least have seen what you are dressed as and thus will be able to pick you out in a crowd.


Will we be able to bring weapons down with us?
If it can be even vaguely associated as part of your costume, absolutely.The culture here is very much encouraging of the concept of weapons being an art form that should be donned. That said, threatening people with said weapons will cause you some problems. Not only are the natives a potential source of problem for you, but any of the guests may just as well be armed like you are. Not that that needs to stop you.


Can we opt out of this event?
Yes, those players who were not big on balls, or characters who were not big on balls have no requirement to head down to the surface. They just have to let Venidelosia know that they will be staying behind. In fact, this might be a good argument for some characters, as they could serve as backup, showing up fashionably late to the party. They could also serve as a safety net. One could even argue that they're staying behind on the ships to be prepared to get everybody out quickly if that is necessary. Or they could just be wallflowers. That said, if you want your character to be at the ball and you're not sure how to get them down, think about what skills they might have. That could help with sneaking information. Are they someone that looks unique and thus could win the attention of helpful or natives or visiting dignitaries? Would one of their fellow heroes decide to haul them down as a date or because they have a specialized skill that might help them get through into the back rooms? Think about where your skills would fit and how that might make your character available.


My character has a special ability that I think would give them an advantage in the infiltration aspect. Can I make use of this?
This is one of those events where we highly encourage that. If your power were to let you snap your fingers and suddenly have all of the information no 'cause that just cuts it all too short. The powers of mental manipulation, phasing through walls, being able to lie to people or weave illusions, that is all fair game. There's also the gifts that Yurebia gave to you. These will work on nearly everybody but Estariev himself, so do you consider how they might help you but also remember their limitations.


You know I wanna bust out all of this guy’s Collection of people, right?
And doesn't that sound like a splendid distraction tactic? Or a great way to cover your escape? Who knows, maybe there's even guests present that would more than happily help you with that. Chaos is always a tactic.


I've got a particularly daring and complex plan that I want to run by you.
Oh, we are so excited to hear it. Please throw it in the comments below and we would happily help you make that work. Or happily help you make it blow up in your character's face.


So just how much information do we have to walk away with here?
He Rows will need first to acquire some race profile information, This basically being the data that confirms that the species that you're looking for the information of are in fact the Agrii ancestors. You will also need some space charts. Now whether what you get comes in the form of actual data sets or some kind of specialist that knows this kind of stuff that you can kidnap off the planet, or possibly some kind of victim in the vaults is up in the air. This is an area where you can fulfill your needs in a variety of ways. And the best part is that redundancy is not a bad thing here. The more information you have, even if it's just doubling previous information, means that you have more likely the correct information. So by hook or by crook, get what you can.


I have lots of other questions.
Please ask them. We are not limitless in our insight as to what you will need. Do you know that due to current policies going on in a certain US state and how it affects access to DW, Mod Churby will not be on as constantly as normal and therefore there may be a small delay in answers to your questions. But she’s gonna try!


Pssst you misspelled something.
Sorry, there's complications when voice-to-text happens. Please let us know below.

[ The PokeGear is angled correctly for once, no up close faces or the likes as though whoever was operating it took time to consider how to operate the PokeGear properly. From what can be seen, background wise appears to be the insides of Mille's Bakery as the storm starts up outside. Not too far, but not too close, it's a Goldilocks levels of just the right distance as the owner of the PokeGear comes into view. ]

[ She was a pale young woman with freckles, most certainly of college age if appearances were to be judged. The girl's hair was brown with creamy white streaks intertwined in long waves, a red hair bow noticeably tied in the back as she ran a hand over her fluffy bangs for a moment. The glasses glinted a bit in the lighting of the building, hiding her eyes a bit as she takes a deep breath in over the current situation happening. She is dressed in her spare trainer clothing, a white furisode girl outfit as her other clothing is hung up drying after being caught in the stormy weather. Over head, a small Cutiefly goes to perch right on top of the girl's head, looking pretty merry about the situation. ]

I don't mean to cause a buzz, but it'd be the Bee's Knee if I could get an idea of which country I'm at? I woke up in Pallet Town and currently sheltering at Mille's Bakery for the time being till the storm passes by.

[ There was no way in the Stellar Sea Dolly was about to attempt traveling in such bad weather conditions...just a terrible idea really. Even with the catchy, cheery music playing in the background...where was that even coming from anyways?]

October EMP meme

Oct. 11th, 2025 07:48 pm
enablemeplz: (Default)
[personal profile] enablemeplz
ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the Second Saturday of every month

FOR GAME ADS:

Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / kink you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed.

PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no fonts and other html that make ads super long, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad.

FOR GAME QUESTIONS:

RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme.

This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content).

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join.

There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL section, where you post your character's canon in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form.

There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences.

Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR.

There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above.

If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game.

IN GENERAL:

Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be frozen or screened.

All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves.

There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened.

Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme.


The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

Well, lookie here! We have a new event! And it's a collab with another game, Missrecalled! How will that work, you ask? Here is the event info on their side:

https://the-spaces-between.dreamwidth.org/436.html

And on this side:

Jordan was not the only person desperately trying to fix things that had gone wrong. On Gaia, the Sephiroth native to that world had been running himself ragged for the last several weeks, frantic to find a solution to what he had caused by bringing so many there through portals. It had been an accident, and his intentions when inadvertently activating the portals had been innocent, but that hardly mattered to him. He saw only that he had tried to do something for himself—using the Ancients’ magic to be sane again—and everything had turned on its head.

The Heartless attack had been the last straw. That was dangerous, that was deadly, and something had to be done. He had to send all of these poor people home.

And so he was struggling to open the portals. His will should be able to override whatever was keeping them closed, shouldn’t it? He certainly thought so.

In hindsight, perhaps he should have asked the other Sephiroth for help, given that that Sephiroth had the power of portal-making. But he hadn’t wanted to bother or burden anyone more than he already had. He had caused this on his own. He had to fix it on his own.

So while Jordan dreamed, Sephiroth fought with the portals.

What could possibly go wrong?

As it turned out, a lot. Both magic users, desperate to correct the problems in their worlds, reached out through the cosmos ... and the cosmos answered. A piercing portal developed from Auradon, through the Isle, all the way to Gaia, with the two blue-winged Sephiroths the unfortunate conduits. The dreamscape mixed with the waking world and portals began opening in both.

When this latest disaster exploded across Gaia, Sephiroth stared out the window in shock. Portals were everywhere, but people weren’t going through them back to their worlds. The energy he could feel from them didn’t even feel like the portals that had opened to start this whole mess. He went outside, looking into the nearest portal. The bizarre world on the other side, of flowers growing in the sky and clouds on the ground, looked like someone’s fever dream. Several more inane sights led him to conclude that the portals were indeed all going to people’s dreams. And upon talking with the recipient of one such dream, he made another alarming discovery: the portals were going to the dreams in other worlds.

He groaned and slumped back, running a hand down his face. “What have I done now?” he cried in dismay. Would he never be able to fix anything, only cause more destruction?


OOC Info: This is a collaborative event with the RP Missrecalled (info below). Characters from different worlds can either meet on the dreamscape while sleeping or pass through to Gaia while awake via the portals. But even in the waking world, the dreamworld is insisting on encroaching. The longer the madness goes on, the more the strange sights from people’s dreams are creeping into Gaia.

While there isn’t as much awake time on the Missrecalled side of things (and less and less of it as the event progresses), the Gaia side allows for people to be awake and not asleep if preferred. (Or they can dream on the Gaia side as well, if preferred.) The Sephiroths are dream-walkers and can pass through the dreamscape both asleep and awake. They can also take others with them. Everyone else can also use the portals to wander amid other’s dreams or pass through to Gaia if they were someplace else. The portals popping up in the waking world must be closed from inside the dreamscape, which the Sephiroths will be trying to take care of along with those who volunteer to help them. But there’s so many, it could take some time. And while any are open, things from people’s dreams are getting loose everywhere. Monsters, weird disasters, any distressing scenario dreaming people can come up with. Go wild! Make top-levels and reply to others' top-levels from this post, or from Missrecalleds' 4th Wall at: https://the-spaces-between.dreamwidth.org/436.html
Just mark your threads accordingly if they have any content others may wish to avoid. Also keep in mind that as wild and weird as your dreams can be, you don't have the right to force that weirdness on others' characters unless they're okay with that. I.E., does your dream involve forced transformation into dogs or cats? Great! That's fine for you, but no one else should have to be changed if they don't want that. So either mark your thread that it's for those who want that weirdness, or have it open to all and expect to see some humans talking to your dogs and cats. :)

Given the nature of the event and the need to close so many dream portals, dream-walkers and characters with other dream-related powers will be especially useful. The Sephiroths could use all the help they can get! But everyone is welcome and all characters can help! Just know that if you’re going to try closing dream portals and you don’t have inherent dream powers, you’ll need to go with one of the Sephiroths. This is a combination collab event in which characters from both games can mingle, as well as a 4th Wall in which characters from anywhere and anything can appear, whether they’re in either game or not! Bring everyone! It’s like a test drive, only wilder. If you especially enjoy your time in the 4th Wall, apps are always open at Fated Hearts and open until October 30th at Missrecalled and we would love for you to join us permanently!

And the info on our collab partner: Missrecalled is a game based on an AU of Disney's Descendants/the Isle Of The Lost novels, taking place if the third movie ended slightly differently. The game is split in two parts; Characters who start in Auradon are welcomed to a seemingly-idyllic setting with only minimal power nerf that is exploration, slice of life, and working together plot lines. Characters who start on The Isle are in for a powernerf experience with survival and school themes. There are ways in game to change from one to the other, but they are not frequent and the pace is often player driven. The Missrecalled Mod Squad hopes to see you on the 4th wall... once upon a dream.

Things to note: Missrecalled has a magical no-swear filter, and requires FTB for physical intimacy scenes.

A morning, or what one might presume to call a morning, comes where once more all of the He Rows will find themselves gathered and herded before Yurebia. Upon arriving, they are bedecked in many fine things. Chains of precious metals and stones, garlands of sea, flowers and even fine stretches of cloth clearly cut for their specific forms are all hung about them. The whole while Yurebia smiles warmly and benevolently at them, her often shifting form always radiating pride.

Once all are arranged before her, she claps her hands, fins, tentacles together and out from the wings float a string of glowing... Well, jellyfish is a close enough term. There are so many different shifting colors and balanced atop each is a silvery white tray covered with a length of inky black cloth. Clearly something rests under these clothes as some show visual distortion to their folds.

And So The Goddess Speaks )
