MAY INFORMATION POST


— May 2018 —


Greetings everyone! This monthly information post will detail what events, player plots and regional events will occur this months. There are two player plots this month as well as a major plot-related event! Reservations will open again at the end of the month, we will have an EMP and Test Drive Meme to go along with it. Please post any questions you may have regarding all of this here.



O'aka, Oh My O'aka || May 05th
On May 05th, characters will receive a mognet post from a NPC named "O'aka the 25th." Besides this NPC having the dumbest and most pretentious name ever, he will offer his services to the characters, with an alternative and cheaper shop for them to purchase airships, airship parts and other goods from.


Once Upon A Dream [100 exp] || May 15th - June 05th
On May 24th, something unexpected will happen: more lost people are found within the Dream Width! Well, not quite exactly found yet, someone's gotta go fetch them. But if it's anything like last time, Biggs and Wedge quite simply cannot handle it on their own... And that's where your characters come in: they cannot pilot airships on their own yet, but they can board airships piloted by NPCs and handle the retrieval of new arrivals. This is what the offer from the Curti Center will be. Seeing how short-staffed the center is and seeing how your characters have experience with the Dream Width, that's the best way to go about it. It's also a chance for them to learn more about the Dream Width.

Alas, things are never that easy... And with such little time to prepare for the rescue mission, the Dream Width's pull will cause characters at random to lose themselves. As a result, characters lost in the Dream Width will be lost in one of their memories, unaware of their status and convinced they are actually living reality. Characters still safe (whether they were rescued from a memory or have yet to get lost in a memory) will have to get into the memories of their friends and snap them out of it. But that means they may see things your character would rather have kept secret... Native OCs will have the possibility of living through either a memory of their life on Vaikuntha or a memory of their previous life. Should it be the later, this memory and the context surrounding it will be regained.

ICly, characters will be notified about the signals found in the Dream Width on May 24th, and will board the Airships on May 31st. However, due to the plot heavy nature of this event, the OOC Post will be posted on May 15th and the IC Log will be posted on May 20th, so you can start playing memories early and be ready for the new arrivals on June 05th. Signing-up for the event, your character may either have their own memory, leap into other characters's memories, or both!



Bizarre Bird Behavior! [50 EXP] || Select cities, May 2nd - May 8th
Many of the major cities of Vaikuntha are facing an infestation of a very unusual sort. Wild chocobos, usually skittish around humans and never found roaming through urban areas, have overtaken the streets in some cities and they're causing absolute chaos and destruction everywhere they roost. No matter how hard the heroes or citizens try, the untamed avians refuse to go beyond the bounds of the city. As it happens, the poor displaced birds are being hunted by ferocious beasts with a taste for chocobo and a terrible temper. It's up to the bold adventurers and warriors to repel the monsters and save the birds! Who knows, you might even make a new feathered friend in the process.

The OOC Post for this plot can be found here!


The Disappearance of Azusa Miura [10-25 exp] || May 11th
The otherworld idol, Azusa Miura, turns to her housemates with a gentle smile. “My, it’s a nice day for a walk, isn’t it? I think I’ll bring home a cake for us to eat together~.” With a soft laugh, she reaches for her bag and leaves with her promise in mind. Two days later, there’s still no word from her. Whatever could have happened? Suddenly, there’s a new post on everyone’s iMog slates... Will Azusa ever see home again?

Azusa will ask people help through mognet to help find her location based on her description of the place. Characters replying in any capacity will be awarded 10 exp, characters successfully finding the location where she is will be awarded 15 more exp. More will be posted about this later this month.


Mognet will function correctly throughout May, with only a few issues listed below:

• May 7th || Video / Hologram Issues
All video or holographic messages will display the color of characters's eyes as red. Native OCs will all have their eyes's color changed to blue. The management of Mognet central apologizes for this graphical glitch.

• May 14th || Linkshell Issues
The name of the linkshell Kali Shashidhwaja will glitch out by intermittence throughout the day and sometimes change to Heroes of Light. The management of Mognet Central apologizes in advance for this unusual issue.

• May 25th - May 31st || Mognet Strike (Worldwide)
A new arrival of Kupo Nuts fight for the rights of Moogles everywhere means the Mognet Offices all around the world will be on strike, leaving the network down for six days.



Blame Someone Else Day || Kiddilion, May 09th
Once upon a time, it is said a clumsy Lalafell Black Mage set on fire half of Kiddilion. Unable to cope with the guilt, she accused her best friend, a Moogle who had encouraged her to use a fire spell. The Moogle, refusing to pay for a crime that wasn't his, accused the Bangaa merchant who had sold the Lalafell her Black Mage rod. Finding this practice abject, the Bangaa merchant accused one of his Hypello client who hadn't bought the rod before the clumsy Lalafell did. And of course, the Hypello client accused the Lalafell for having brushed him to the side before he could buy the rod. In commemoration of this truly beautiful and absurd circle of blame, it is customary for people on Kiddilion to blame each other for absolutely everything on May 09th. Just don't take it too seriously.

Chocobo Festival || Yun'Ashia, May 15th
To celebrate the noblest and most pure animal of them all, the people hold a Chocobo festival, where the noble and proud beasts are admired and praised. It is also customary to practice the Chocobo Dance, people dancing and singing along all day long with their loyal chocobos.

Triple Triad World Championship || Sparks Golsaucia, May 20th - May 30th
A yearly event, the best Triple Triad players from all around the world meet up and duel each other for a small prize, 1 million gil. What they truly covet isn't the money, but and Triple Triad Master Cup! Some of the Triple Triad players are very dramatic people, who keep their card decks on their sleeve and brandish the cards they play dramatically, screaming its name along with the effects of the plus and same rules as they lay it on the playboard. As such, it is quite an event to see for those who like a good show!

Dark Knight Convention || Von Oktavia, May 22nd
It was customary to celebrate goth culture throughout Vaikuntha a century past. But the Dark Knights saw the ocasion and took this day for themselves. This is a convention where edginess and darkness are celebrated not only as ways of life, but as fashionable trends.

Biscuit Day || Hisan City, May 29th
What delicacy is there that is more delicious than a biscuit? None, they say. A few citizens have taken it upon themselves to celebrate biscuits on this day, as an answer to the growing disgust they feel toward Gourmand. Of course, Gourmands are banned from this event. And as such, it's just not the same.
