Mod Post. 5/3/18

[awashmods]

Hello everyone, and welcome to May’s monthly mod post! We hope everyone has had a good time settling into the game, and that we're all ready to welcome new players into it!

Mechanics

• First off, AC has completed and has been processed. As of this post, AC is open for May. May’s AC Post can be found here. Thank you to everyone who completed AC!
  
• On a quick side note, when submitting AC please avoid using commas. It messes with the form a bit, so try to leave them out! We'll update the AC form to reflect this requirement as well. Thank you for your understanding.
  
• AC has also been slightly tweaked; after looking at the choices, we decided it would be more fair to change the "post and an additional thread of 10 comments" option to be "a post and an additional one to two threads maximum" option. Occasionally threads are dropped, or do not meet the minimum length, and we wanted to make AC easy to respond to! This change can be seen on all of the current AC pages.
  
• Reserves are closed to new players, as they have been filled. Current players are welcome to continue to reserve their second characters if they would like, but will not require a reserve to apply.
  
• Applications open May 7th, 9 PM EST. They will remain open until May 14th, 9 PM EST.
  
• The intro log will go up May 15th, 9 PM EST. There will also be a smaller, more lowkey event at the end of the month to help settle in the new characters.

Quests

• Quests for May are now up! The OOC breakdown of said quests can be found below, as with last month. All quests have been posted ICly to the Quest Forum Post.
  
• The Quest Reporting comment can be found here. As ever, please respond to that comment once the quest itself has been completed. If the thread continues on, but is simply small talk or characters doing other things, you’re welcome to turn in the thread as soon as the quest is done.
  
• Please be aware that Quests still must be reported by the end of the month; this is because we use what quests are completed to keep track of what colors are restored for the next month!

Color Changes

This month’s color changes are as follows (color changes can be tracked at the Color/Game Timeline):

Color Gains:

• Please see this comment to see what changes have occurred based off of an impactful thread on your Color Log. These changes are based off of the general blended color of the two (or more) characters involved in the thread.
  
• Because every quest was completed last month, the Town has had a very special thing restored -- characters will now be able to see the stars at night. The sky itself is now black at night, and the stars are bright and twinkly and perfectly star-like. As soon as the sky brightens for daytime, it goes back to being bleak and colorless.
  
• As the storyteller quest was successfully completed, all of the books in the Town have now had their writing restored, as the color Black typeset has been restored. This means that characters are also able to write on paper in the Town without being unable to see the words they're writing, even if using only supplies from the Town. The books in the libraries and the houses are all.......... fairy tales. Of course they are. Any fairy tale you can imagine from any culture can probably be found in those books somewhere.
  

Color Losses:

• Tomatoes no longer have color or taste.
  
• Dave and Caingorm’s houses no longer have color.
  
• Izuku’s text color is now absent, and his text will appear black again.
  
• The following foods have additionally lost their flavor and color: red peppers, blue cotton candy, bananas, pineapples.

If there are any questions, please ask them here, so that we don’t miss any. Thank you, everyone!

And for successfully learning how to ride Nanjo's bike, both Akira and Nanjo receive these socks.

Nanjo will never run out.

Hello again mods! I'm sorry, I forgot that Akechi's player had already claimed the socks! Please disregard this one, alas Kei will only have to content with...3 pairs....(edit then I realized it was the same prize so I assume this was on purpose too don't mind me la la la)

For granting a small wish such as assisting Zelda in making her arrows, Josuke has restored the color of the brown of arrow shafts. Now the arrows are colorful again.

Thank you! For properly capturing the geese, Keith and Dave will each find a small basket of bathroom necessities -- soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, body wash, the likes. It's a very small basket, so they can probably only have one or two of the above things, but what they get is up to you!

I hope Dave has 12 bottles of shampoo now.

[parodeity]

look dave granted his own wish of lots of soap and things and should be an inspiration to all

[awashmods]

For granting a small wish such as letting Jake see those comics drawn, Dave has restored the color of green ink. There is probably no green ink in Chroma but theoretically if there were green pens, they would now have color.

Geese

[queenofminiskirts]

Characters Involved: Akira and Kaoru
Character Colors: redx2
Link to thread: Link!
Failure/Success: Success! They bring back to town (2) weirdly big sleeping geese as well as a cluster of (10) floating, angrily honking, normal sized geese!

[awashmods]

The geese will never love again.

The reward is the same as usual for both Dave and Summer!

Thank you! For properly capturing the geese, Akira and Kaoru will each find a small basket of bathroom necessities -- soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, body wash, the likes. It's a very small basket, so they can probably only have one or two of the above things, but what they get is up to you!

Characters Involved: Minato and Elizabeth
Character Colors: Blue & Blue

Failure/Success: Failure. They are failing. They're failing so badly, they've already been set on fire.

[tendershepherd]

Characters Involved: Kaoru and Sorey
Character Colors: Red and Yellow
Link to thread: https://queenofminiskirts.dreamwidth.org/2571.html?thread=73227#cmt73227
Failure/Success: They successfully obtained the majority of ingredients that were asked for, therefore curry can be made and the wish is fulfilled!

Failure/Success: Success!

[appraiser]

Characters Involved: Nanjo, Ryoji
Character Colors: blue, yellow
Link to thread: here
Failure/Success: Sucess...! For Ryoji, it's a big deal, being given something with him specifically in mind, when he's used to living as a nonentity that doesn't matter and shouldn't even be here.

[awashmods]

Thank you for reporting their failure! Because they have failed, they get nothing, of course. Nice try!

[awashmods]

For accomplishing a small wish such as gathering ingredients, Kaoru and Sorey have restored the color of curry powder! Congratulations!

[awashmods]

Congratulations! Each of them will find a potion in a small bottle of a dark purple color in their rooms. Each potion has been "created" from a different body part of the spider, and thus has different effects, not that they know what they are until they try it for themselves. Only a little of the potion needs to be consumed for the effects to take place, so theoretically the potions could be used a couple of times; use your best judgement!

Izuku's potion, made from the jorogumo's mandibles, will allow the one who drinks it to teleport very small distances (think a halfway across the Town at the very most), but will require a great deal of practice and has a high chance of getting people stuck in walls or such things.

Minato's potion, made from the jorogumo's hair, just tastes like strawberries. Nice.

[awashmods]

For accomplishing a large wish such as giving Ryoji a gift, Nanjo has restored the color of lilies. Additionally, Ryoji will find that there are a fair number of lilies growing by where he lives. Congratulations!
