January Event Plotting/Sign Up Post!

[wearethecrystalmods]

Hiya folks! If you've been looking at the calendar lately, you may have noticed by now that our very next event is coming up this Wednesday! We'd like to give you more details about this event so you may start plotting for it.

Next week, starting Wednesday the Temple will be completely sealed off, shutting out most gems while trapping a few others inside.

How and why this happens you will have to wait till Wednesday to find out. But the bulk of the event will be trying to find a way back into/out of the temple/dealing with the separation from your CR (should you be separated from them). For the trapped people this also means your food and supplies will be limited to what you already have inside the temple or what your powers are capable of creating. (Don't worry! This will only last a few days so no one will starve! But it is extra incentive to unseal the temple)

Because of the nature of this event, we're giving you time to plan accordingly. There are sign ups below for trapped inside/locked out and we encourage you all to use this post to talk about your plans. While sign ups for those locked out is not necessarily mandatory, we would like everyone who intends to be trapped inside to sign up, just so we can keep track. In addition, please remember that the majority of gems should be locked out. If we feel too many gems are opting to be trapped instead we will cut off sign ups. Please note that if you don't sign up you will be assumed to be on the outside.

Lastly, specifically for those trapped inside we would also like to advise you that violence is not very likely to work for the first half of this event (and if anything, may make things worse) so keep this in mind when deciding which of your characters will be trapped. But we would love to see a more creative usage of people's powers. (i.e. someone using water powers to make sure you can all still drink, etc)

And that's about it! There is a thread for questions below so feel free to ask any that you like!

Ask away!

Locked Out

[wearethecrystalmods]

For those planning to have their characters stuck on the outside.

Trapped Inside

[wearethecrystalmods]

Please note that, as we said in the main post, if too many people are opting for trapped inside we will cut off sign ups.

Sonico will be trapped inside the Temple OH BOY

she'll be doing her best to make sure everyone has some decent food with what she has left in her room and she'll be taking advantage of her Soothing Voice power to try and keep people calm.

[unit31]

Labrys is going to be stuck outside the Temple with everyone else and doing her best to try and unseal it!

I don't have any specific plans for the event for her but I'm totally open to plotting stuff out!

[onaroll]

Can the lock-out be bypassed by teleport-like powers? I'm assuming the answer is 'no', but it feels important to get it stated clearly.

[wearethecrystalmods]

No, teleporting in and out of the temple will be impossible.

Thanks for reminding us though, we forgot to mention that!

Jane Crocker will be locked out of the temple, and when initial efforts to reenter it fail, she will most likely begin efforts to make sure as many people as possible have some sort of shelter, whether it be somewhere in town or built on the beach. If anyone else would like to help organize emergency shelter things or work with her, I'd love to plot that out!

Thida will also be locked out of the temple, very dedicated to getting back inside and generally wary of the weather, on alert for any sign of rain (since it could cause her significant injury). Those who plan on not giving up easily i.e. reopening the Temple should totally come and plot with me.

Karkat will be locked out, because it's funny, and he'll have to deal with not being able to get back to his room and the things there. He can deal with the not sleeping, but wow, rude.

He'll also be trying to get back in. Maybe he could figure out weapon summoning with this, since hey, why not bang on the temple with a sickle? That's bound to help, right?

[calystegia]

Kanami's going to be inside and she's going to be trying to use her new communication power to try and get in touch with people outside.

Her powers basically works like a skype call (or rather, just like communication powers work in the persona series proper) but she can't contact you unless she knows you (and if you allow her signal to reach you). I'm going to try and throw her at more people in the next few days or make a post for her so she can contact more people during all this. Let me know if you want to hit her up at any point for this.

edit: OH also Kanami's power allows her to have multiple people in a single conversation (up to like 4) because lol she's just mind skype so if you need a way to contact your friends outside/inside/make sure folks you know are ok she is there for that.

[scarlet_devil]

Remi's going to end up stuck outside. Guess who's going to be less than amused about being left without a home?

[samsa]

Do you guys have a hard-limit in mind yet for how many gems can be trapped inside, or are you waiting to see how many people sign up first?

The reason I ask is because Kaneki stays in the Temple a lot when he isn't working, so he'd most likely be stuck in there, but I also don't know how active I'll be able to be for it due to school being busy, and I don't want to take up a spot that someone else could have. Otherwise I could always just let him be outside/opt out, but I just thought I'd ask!

[fintastic]

Feferi will be trapped inside!

She hasn't actually discovered any powers at all yet, so mostly she will be trying to get some teamwork going to find a way out, whether that means rallying the others herself, or following whoever chooses to take a lead.

[0hyes]

Mettaton will be trapped outside. Unfortunately, he can't do much, but after a lot of groaning and whining, he might be up for providing some moral support.

Otherwise, I'm totally up for plotting!

[perfectlynormalcthulhu]

Anri will be locked inside! Mainly because she can't trivialize the food problem like Amelie can.

She will do her best not to mention that she's pretty sure the reason this is happening is because the Heart wants revenge on her.

[cyan_maid]

Asriel Dreemurr is going to be trapped inside the temple and slowly becoming more and more frightened as the days go on. He's really liked being able to be outside, so getting sealed in an "underground" area? Yeah that's not okay for him.

[calystegia]

No hard limits, nope! Honestly if it's an even split we're ok with that too we just don't want to end up with a majority of trapped people (it looks like we won't have to worry about that though!)

[stillveryalive]

Walker is absolutely getting trapped inside.

It's going to be a super uncomfortable experience for him because he was trapped in murder game bunker for 3 months and this is almost literally a motive that happened to him that ended in someone becoming chunky pink salsa.

BUT he's going to do his best to help anyone who wants it and keep people calm. He won't be happy but he'll be pretty sure Monobear isn't going to pop up out of nowhere this time.

[calystegia]

OH NO poor goat baby ; A;

[samsa]

Kaneki will be trapped inside! The only powers he has so far aren't really ones that would be terribly useful for getting out, but he's far more inclined to not use violence to try and escape. I don't really have any plans in particular, so I'm open for plotting, even if Kaneki can just be there for moral support.

[foolreversed]

Adachi is going to be locked out and not give a single fuck about getting back into the temple until he realizes Sonico's stuck in there too. Then he'll care.

Thanks Adachi.

[crabmunicator]

Hey hey, would either of yours want to run into a grumpy crab who's probably going to be sticking near the temple out of spite?

[samsa]

IT'LL BE OKAY ASRIEL we'll get through this together don't you worry

[chatwithdeath]

Of course she's locked outside. She can never be locked in the same place with the people she cares about. So, what she's going to do? Try and get it unsealed because this scenario is uncomfortably familiar.

And if it does end almost like that, someone is getting their behind kicked... maybe. But anyway, come plot with her because, when she gets off work, she's going to be as close to the Temple as she can get.

In case seven might be too much, I can have Connie outside, but I'd prefer to have her in! It'll help her try to figure out how to make the best of a dire situation.
