January Event Details

It's time.

Nyoi-cho is a world full of hope. The people bustle about their day in peace. Children laugh, business people work, and this timeless little town smiles cheerily as dawn turns to dusk.

However, when night falls, something sinister takes hold. All of the worries locked deep inside begin to fester, tainting peaceful dreams into something dark and twisted. People die in their sleep sometimes. Others simply never wake. And sometimes, people simply go missing... but why worry when you can't hope to change it? The town is ravaged by strangeness, warped by repression, and locked in a never-ending cycle of day and night.

At least, they are until tonight.

The Birth of a Miracle.

Welcome to Nyoi-cho! Your characters will arrive from that world between worlds and enter directly into a nightmare. I hope they're ready to hit the ground running, this will be their first true test as magi.

But not to fear, little fighters; this is the dream of a sick child. Their soul is not yet corrupted enough to pose much of a threat, so as long as you keep your wits about you survival will not be hard!

The nightmarescape is primarily composed of bright colors, toys, and fragments of games - but there's a sinister, malformed look to them. Familiars appear as shadows or corrupted toys.

The First Night.

You'll find yourself in a completely unfamiliar place. The world looks like a child's playroom, all bright colors and simple shapes. Skyscrapers made of building blocks and stagnant, stiff clouds against a too-blue sky dot the oddly sparse landscape. At first, you might feel at ease. Perhaps you're accustomed to strange settings, or perhaps this is merely more peaceful than what you were in before.

But before long, you hear voices. They babble to one another in incomprehensible voices, chattering in the shadows and following you as you slowly pick your way across this bizarre city. Just when you think you're safe, the creatures make themselves known. Surrealist impressions of toys and children's fairytales come from the woodwork, and while they were once keen to follow and watch, they know want to play with you.

It's just a shame their games are lethal.

The goal is to survive. Get accustomed to your abilities, learn how to fight, transform and test your new limitations. It won't be easy - the only word you have is the word of Kyubey, and it seems that he could not follow you into this place.

The Second Night.

As the nights wear on, you'll find that survival is becoming harder. The labyrinthine nature of the nightmare might begin to take its toll as you struggle to find a way out, and characters will find that it will become easier to start giving in to doubt and fear.

Part of the reason for this will be the second group of familiars that show up. These are 'bogeymen' like familiars, creatures that appear to be floating pairs of eyes draped under carpets or around dark corners. Unlike the other familiars, the bogeymen aren't there to actively attack characters: rather, their presence helps dredge up feelings of fear and terror in those who see them, whether it be by making the characters think of frightening events in their lives or just downright heightening the terror or doubt they may already feel. They can be destroyed/cleansed like any other familiar, though as long as characters are in their presence, they'll feel more put off and frightened than usually.

The Third Night.

What sort of sight awaits the characters when they finally make it to the center of the nightmarescape? You'll have to wait and see!


CR Plotting

Now that the event details are out of the way, it's time for our first and ever CR plotting post! Please fill out the form below.

Name: Your name here!
Contact: Some way of getting in touch with you if need be.


Character: Your character's name!
Wish/Powers: A link to your character's info post.
Info: Tell us about your character. What are they like? What are they most likely to be getting up to in Nyoi-cho?

Name: Nao
Contact: [plurk.com profile] lollichop


Character: Noriaki Kakyoin (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, AU)
Wish/Powers: Here! Further info on the AU itself is in his app here though i suspect i missed a couple minor Stand fights in the bullet points and I'm always open to answering questions or anything like that.
Info: Kakyoin's usually a levelheaded and smart individual who's suited to forming strategies in combat and is generally full of useless information outside of it. (Don't ask him about rocks. Or history.) He's generally friendly and polite, with a sharp sarcastic edge if he knows someone well enough. You know, he's just That Guy in most circles of friends. He has a habit of trying to take charge in most situations, and despite the normally calm demeanor he has a nasty short fuse and a tendency to explode in grand dramatic fashion if it gets lit.
Seeking: I'm up for whatever comes naturally, positive or negative! Starting off by getting right into a fight with a Nightmare sounds like a good way to get some CR under fire if anyone wants some good teamwork going.
Anything else: I work off EST and think I'm a pretty quick tagger with occasional bursts of 'ooooor I could sleep all day'. But I'm always open to backtags and willing to work with anyone's pace!

Oh my god a protagonist!Kakyoin AU?? I'm all kinds of down with this.

Honestly, Madoeka's close enough to the Nightmare aesthetic that I'm down with initial positive or negative CR? I'd definitely like Madoeka and Kakyoin to end up more on the positive side, but I'm open to whatever happens too!!

also there's that part where caesar was one of the nicest people to her in ryslig, and given that caesar's this kakyoin's grandpappy, she'll only have the best to assume about him

OH BOY i am thrilled that you're excited! given that madoeka is still madoka, he'll probably be nothing but nice to her and probably even apologetic once they get past the 'good lord ANTLERS' stage.

...let's be honest, a nice girl with giant teeth and antlers are on the low end of the crazy scale for this series.
