Thank youuuu for everyone that played in the swamp forest/ruined castle baby plot arc this week! I am admittedly terrible at exploration threads and flaked out a few times, but I stuck with it super hard tonight!! so thank you to everyone for their patience.
New Personae are now unlocked and may choose to start playing at any point, though obviously we encourage you to stagger yourselves slightly. ♥
As a quick overview since I know these posts got extremely hefty and I started late at night (sorry! I meant to start earlier today but my body rebelled): the first forest post in the afternoon of Day 55 and the second forest post during dusk on that day were mainly creepy marsh forest adventures with quicksand and trees with teeth, all of which will be sticking around and will be added to the info pages accordingly.
Just before dusk on Day 56, Maleficent de-booked Vanille. Around this time, there was a flash of green light; a cold wind blew across Aather for a bit, covering everything with leaves that were dead and gray and cold to the touch. Following that, during dusk, there was a strange distorted call to the Ring, though there was no Persona there to greet anybody. There were also no monsters out and about.
The call persisted, eventually leading people to the West, through the marsh forest, where a path had seemingly been ripped through by thorned vines. The paths eventually led everyone to a ruined castle covered with thorns and covered with a mist that put people to sleep. By solving a series of riddles and obtaining keys, a number of our intrepid heroes worked together to wind the pocketwatch that acted as a lock on the gate, rusting the chains and unlocking the castle gate. (I would encourage reading this last link, as there are descriptions and a viewable memory!)
Maleficent showed up shortly after and encouraged everyone to get the hell home, locking the castle behind her again. ♥ Night and the next day may proceed as normally, though please allow for flexibility with people doing their things, etc. Beauty and Maleficent will both be around for threads at some point tomorrow . . . by which I guess I actually mean today. Yes.
Again, thank you very muchhhh, I hope this was fun, and apologies for any points in which it was too rushed or too slow! I had a lot of fun and am always looking forward to what the players take out of this and choose to do with it. Let me know if you have any lingering questions or if I missed something in my summary (because I am excellent like that).
