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!

Character: Tokiya Ichinose
Wish/Powers: here.
Info:
Tokiya is your standard textbook hardworking stoic tsun. His wish kind of made that a little worse by making him a literal ice (crystal) prince, but - even if he's snarky and kind of moody at times, he's not a mean person, so it's possible to keep up a good conversation if you're willing to stand/can fight back his snark. That, and he's an intelligent person, so he's going to investigate what the hell is up with this town. Characters who are willing to join him can do so!

During the event itself, Tokiya will go about it slowly and carefully, mapping areas and investigating the powers/capabilities of the nightmare toys before advancing. His passive power also nullifies the fear-inducing toys, so he could help people snap out of their own trances if needed. Overall he'll pick things up quickly, but as he cannot heal himself he will need backup on that part.

Seeking: Anything and everything! People to annoy the shit out of him, people to snark at him, intellectuals who can join him in investigation. I always find that unexpected CR tends to be most fun. :D

Oh yeah he's also an idol and can sing/act/play almost every instrument, so if your character is inclined towards that...

Anything else: My tagging times vary wildly, but since I'm in GMT +8 my tags usually come from midnight EST all the way until morning EST. Sometimes I get busy and don't tag within 24 hours, but my turnaround time is usually shorter than 3 days.

Guess who's a Wholesome Crossdresser?

But does he play the harp?

...

No, seriously. Diarmuid does and sings as well. He would be so thrilled to know someone else who plays the harp since it's not exactly your typical modern instrument.

Well hey, canon says 'any instrument', so it could be a yes. Even if he's not as good as Diarmuid is. xD

music club establish??

Well, Diarmuid was taught by a god who was known for musical talents and the greatest bard of his age. He's got a bit of an advantage. X.x

But, yes! He will be so excited. It will be embarrassing. head in hands

It's okay, he knows music is important. Just that he's bad at showing it.

It's all part of being a tsun, right? ;-P

that is Correct. xD

Hello, Allen's going to be missing having a snark buddy, what with his still being back in his world. He can fill the role of intillectual, too, given that he's a genius programmer and one of the few people in his canon with a Wisdom score worth talking about.

god bless. let's form the sane people club with these people

That is pretty much his role in (un)life. He'll be happy to not be the only sane man anymore, though.

then they'll both know the pain of being surrounded by idiots. xD time to bust themselves out of this weird place, then.

Yeah, nobody told him this magi gig would involve babysitting. As much as he appreciates the physical body, he is going to miss not having an actual head to get headaches with.

god bless.

plus they have to investigate and try to get out of here, how troublesome....

Allen's less interested in getting out of her than he is in getting to the bottom of Nightmares and Witches, but...yeah. He doesn't want to be doing this for the rest of his unnatural life. That, and he wants to find Kyuubey and wring the end result of his wish out of him.

a+ to that. They both have the same goal, then. Or similar.

Homura is also going to be into investigating, so I'd love to have them band together! She probably won't mind his snarking and another stoic character to work with is pretty ideal for her.

god bless, snarkers and stoics unite.

I really want them to talk about their Most Important People at some point in their cr... because they have a lot of similarities on that end

Would you potentially be interested in an Idol Rival? Sion is brand-new to performing (as of her stupidly early canonpoint) and as such would love a Goal To Aim Towards Surpassing.

OHOHO you came to the right place.... because in canon Tokiya is acknowledge as a perfectionist and a professional. Definitely a good role model (but only for idoling he sucks at other aspects)

In that case prepare for a STRAIGHT-UP FAIR BOUT and other competitive idioms being yelled in your general direction!

a+ even if he wouldn't take her seriosuly at first (oops)

Now he's just GOing to inspire her more.

but can you truly win against his secret weapon, girl.

he's voiced by miyano and that's super effective against most people

....Sion's voice is? Really freaking low for a middle school girl?

Does that. Count for anything.....?

~~seriously this is her seiyuu's only role; I knew I should have apped somebody voiced by Megumi Ogata instead~~

then clearly she needs more Training, obviously. good thing there's someone who can be persuaded to teach her if she's persistent enough (which she is).

~~megumi ogata is fabulous ok~~

LMFAO I KID but mamo uses a certain register for some of Tokiya's lines and I've tried it on quite a few people and they all were weak to it
