Subject: Relationship advice?
Warnings: N/A just a guy being sappy

I've been thinking about something lately and I figure I might as well ask the rest of you for a bit of advice.

I realised it's coming up on a year since I met my partner, pretty soon here. I've never really dated anyone seriously before, or paid much attention to these things at all if I'm honest.

What sort of thing do most people do for a first anniversary? How… big of a deal is it generally considered to be? I don’t want to go overboard or anything but I’d like to do something nice.

Maybe some of you could share traditions from your worlds?

Thank you.

Subject: Food
Warnings: Er, possible mentions of mind control/manipulation??? If that comes up regarding what exactly went down with Jamil???? Possible mentions of poisoning/kidnapping/assassination attempts because this boy's life.

[Kalim blinks as he takes this all in. It was rather distracting and amazing, to suddenly be in a new place like this! A whole new world! He could see how exciting and overwhelming it all must have been for poor Ramshackle Dorm housewarden back home, when they had ended up at Night Raven College.

Still! He has to focus!! His wide and red eyes glance to the device, tilting his head as he figures it out. It's not so different from the phones back home, for the most part. Kalim figures it out quickly enough. He shifts and pulls back a little more, a grin appearing as he does, his earrings shifting with the movement.]


Hey, everyone! I'm Kalim! I just got here, so I'm still figuring this place out still, but. Just in case. I figured I should check, since this is probably quicker than running around and asking, but. Anyone else from Night Raven College here? I should probably figure food sooner or later, too, but that might be more difficult, if Jamil isn't here to make anything for me.....

[Or do......literally anything for him. Kalim will be rather hopeless. He looks a little sheepish, even amid the slight worry as he trails off at that. Trying to shake it off. Not what he wants to think about or focus on right now.]

Apparently, I'm a Paladin? Having my magic carpet will mean I can get around easily enough, at least with shorter distances, before I figure which crew to join. That's probably important, huh? So we can find the map to figure getting back home? It's like an adventure! One of the stories I grew up reading and listening to back home! So cool!

[He may be rather more excited than seeming overly concerned about ending up in some strange new world. But. Well, that's Kalim. Not much seems to phase him. At least outwardly. He turns the feed off so he can focus on finding the accommodation he had been told about, not wanting to get too distracted while wandering and exploring this new setting.]

CR WORKSHIP: MAY 2026


Our CR Meme CR Workship is where players can drop all the cool info for their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. Be sure to look over the MANTA Board as well as current events if you'd like to include them in your post.

To help coordinate specific plots for players, we have a few designated toplevels that can be used to highlight particular plots, scenarios, etc. These can be useful for players who may not want to write a full comment but have ideas. Players who do write full CR comments can still use these toplevels and link their comment if you have your ideas in there instead.

  • Crew Recruitment. Players can make OOC ad posts for others to join, looking to join, or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.
  • Event Plotting. If there is something specific that you'd like to do or there is a prompt that you're interested in that may require more coordination, this is the place to try and hash it out! This is not for general plotting, such as "I will be doing A, B, and C;" please save those for general meme comments! Here is recap of the event notes from the Captain's Log for easy reference:

    • This month there will be a mini log featuring the Festival of the Whales that will go up on Saturday, May 9th. It is in commemoration of the tragedy that occurred last year where whales were hunted, mutilated, and crystalized along with other people who were abducted. It is also in hopes to appease the leviathan, Enysos.
    • Strange dark water is spreading throughout the ocean that is not harming anything, per se, however it is making the marine life more hostile. There is also a giant catfish that will emerge near the end of the festival and must be stopped.
    • Meanwhile, the MANTA Board is filled with strange quests made by the "Namazu."

  • Side Plotting. This is for any personal plots or MANTA Board quests that require more coordination, perhaps to bring about a resolution or make an important discovery of some kind. Like with the Event toplevel, this is NOT for generic plotting that would fit a general meme comment.
  • Help Me Plot! Have a plot idea you want to do but have no idea how to go about and do it? You can try and workshop it here!


If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character
Canon: Include canon point
Armada: Paladin or Corsair

About: Briefly talk about the character. Can include background info or just stick with personality traits—whatever will be most useful to help other players learn about them! You can include a link to any character profile sheets or entries you might have, too.

Abilities: Include both canon and abilities you'd like to develop through the tattoo.


PLANS

General: Any ideas or plans you'd like to do with your character? This could be short term or long term.
MANTA Board: Any plans for the MANTA Board?
Event: Any plans for the event? Topleveling? Tagging out? Specific prompts that caught your interest?

CR Dreams: What kind of CR do you wish to have? Include what you can offer with your character as well.

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes. NOTE: we have an image code for players to use as it will fix the width of the image to 400px. This is so large images don't take up entire pages. If your image is smaller than that you can remove the code, otherwise please use the code.

To some it might come as a short notice, but Zack and I will be sharing our vows soon. Now, I could reflect upon our journey, but I believe that should be saved for another time.

After the ceremony, anyone is welcome to stop by the Seventh Heaven to celebrate with us and relax. Food and beverage will be provided, of course.


(( ooc: We won't be playing out the ceremony itself, but there is a spot for the reception that's open to everyone, no prior CR needed. ))

MANTA BOARD: MAY 2026


The MANTA Board is posted every month, but the quests are on a "2 month cycle." This means quests can last for two months with possible updates or new additions in the second month before it completely refreshes for the next cycle. Players can do older quests so long as they do not have some kind of resolution or time limit on them.

Quests are separated into five categories and all have flat point values: General (4pts), Corsair (4pts), Paladin (4pts), Bounties (6pts), and Specials (12pts). Crew quests are listed under "Specials" and are worth the same amount of points (12pts). Although these quests are intended for established crews, non-members are allowed to assist if the crew invites them. However, non-members would only receive 6pts. Similarly, characters helping opposing armada quests will only be rewarded 2pts for participation unless specified otherwise. Special quests won't always be available so it may appear blank at times. These can range from group quests such as for special ship upgrades or island related quests, or they could be special event quests. All quest points can be used for the Rewards Shop.

If you wish to submit a quest, comment in the appropriate field during Activity Check with the quest written and we'll add it to the next month! Crews are also still allowed to make their own quests without our approval, but if uncertain players can comment here about them.

If you have any questions regarding any current quest, comment to this entry.

ACTIVITY CHECK: April 2026


Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting. In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting. Please include brief notes on how the situation was handled (or, in the case of a thread not being complete, how it has been handled so far and/or how you expect it to conclude if possible).

  • Any weather relic fragments found/taken/destroyed
  • Any help done for either Solare or Lunare
  • Music box updates from those who signed up
  • Updates on Pandora's Tower
  • Any encounters against the ice snake dragon


Please check our Activity Check guidelines on our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

» Only threads dated from April 1st through April 30th count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)

» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.

» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.

» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.

» You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.

» Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.


There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Thursday, April 30th 11:59PM US Eastern.

EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.

For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.

You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.



If you have any questions, ask them here.


FORM: Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

[ The post opens with up a frazzled looking Della, looking like she's hiding behind some toppled, broken crates. There's no usual cheeriness or fun in her voice - she speaks urgently and seriously. ]

Okay, uh, anyone heading for Lunare? DO NOT. If you're in Lunare, make tracks, pronto! Emet-Selch is out of his emet-loving mind right now! I'm not sure what's going on with him - if that really is him - but he's going after folks and doing something super bad to their minds! They're turning crazy - and I don't mean angry, I mean they're actually insane now!

[ She winces, hearing the scream of the latest target, one of the rabbit folk. It's not a pretty time out there. ]

He's going after anyone and everything that isn't his style, and apparently, that is a LOT of stuff. I know he needs to be stopped, but unless you are one hundred percent convinced you can do it, DO NOT COME HERE.

[ Something big and heavy is suddenly knocked into those crates, exposing Della to the thing that calls itself Emet. ]

... Uh-oh. Della Duck, over and out!

[ She reaches for a sword on her hilt, dropping her device as she runs - and it's clear before the feed dies that he's following...]

((OOC: no replies from Della, feel free to tag each other! ))
