Who: Pellegri and Margulis
What: FORCEFUL SOCIAL INTERACTION.
When: The evening of whenever regains happen.
Where: Margulis's
Rating: G, but maybe adult language?

It might have been a strange sight, a woman walking through the hotel with a shopping bag, and two dangerous weapons, but Pellegri really didn't care. And really would anyone try to stop her? Probably not. Aside from that, it wasn't a terribly long trek from her own room to Margulis's, and when she arrived, she shifted the items she carried so she could knock on his door.

[Open] New Year's Party! ♥

Sun, 06 Jan 2013 02:30:37 GMT

Posted by: golden_witch

Who: Everyone~
What: Ringing in the New Year the classy way.
When: Backdated to the night of the 31st of December
Where: Gilgamesh's condo
Rating: PG-13 in case of make outs.

[Beatrice had to hand it to Saori. The girl was a master planner and the two of them together were a force to be reckoned with. The condo was as warm and inviting as ever, decorated to the hilt. The food was spread out so nicely she felt just a glance would pop a seam on her dress. Yes, this was pleasing. This would gather the others and they would have a night of peace and relaxation. The pompous bastard that used to live here would be proud. She took a deep breath and opened the door to allow the attendees in...]

A New Arrival

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:05:49 GMT

Posted by: covermyback

Who: Zelgius and YOU!
What: Zelgius arrives in Prospero and needs a little help learning about the place.
When: December 6th, in the afternoon
Where: The hotel
Rating: PG, most likely.

Zelgius awoke with a start. He had just fought Ike, lost, and been left to die... but suddenly, he was awake, and in an unfamiliar room. Had he been rescued? Slowly, he got up and saw the cell phone by his bedside. He gazed at it for a moment, touched it, and accidentally turned it on. He was more than a little surprised when it lit up and showed the display, then turned back off after he just stared at it. Figuring that the device might be useful despite having no idea what it was, he took it with him as he went downstairs to the lobby. There, he watched for people who might be able to help him. People going through the lobby might be greeted as follows:

"Excuse me... This may seem like a strange question, but what is this place?"

Magician Full Moon Log

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:38:59 GMT

Posted by: velvetyhelpers

[ ♪♪♪♪♪ ]

[Tonight, when midnight of the full moon hits, a certain large Arcana will make it's presence known; the Magician Arcana will be appearing outside the police station, a small group of Shadows appearing around it. The small number of helper Shadows might seem to be a relief, except this is a new Shadow that nobody has ever seen before. Characters with Analysis will be able to discover that the Shadows in this group are a lot stronger than they appear:

Sleeping Table (Magician): It has no weaknesses, blocks light/darkness spells and strike, and resists slash, pierce and fire. It attacks by using fire and almighty spells, and inflicts fear.

Persona users will have to fight in groups and work together in order to take down these new Shadows and the Magician Arcana, as this fight can only be won once all the Shadows plus the Magician Arcana have been defeated. Luckily, Persona users will find they are no longer suffering from haywire powers but they have also lost the abilities.]

NOTES
» Groups can consist of three to six people.
» The group of Shadows consists of five Sleeping Tables. These must all be defeated along with the Magician Arcana, as defeating the Magician Arcana first will not cause them to vanish or retreat. Though with the Magician Arcana also attacking Persona users, this will be a challenging fight. Luckily, it doesn't have the same resists and blocks as the Sleeping Tables, but it also has no weaknesses.

Backdated

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:10:40 GMT

Posted by: galacticbunny

Who: Sheryl Nome, Beatrice and Shizuo Heiwajima
What: Beatrice and Sheryl wanted to play a game. It is called the ~~'who is the bigger troll'~~ who-can-drive-target-crazy-first game. And the chosen target is Shizuo. Poor Shizuo has no idea what they were up to. He believes they were just going on a normal shopping trip. What is worse, their abilities are back. Sheryl can reach people with her voice again, Beato has her magic and .... Shizuo ... is Shizuo. Expect disaster.
When: November 18, afternoon.
Where: Mall.
Rating: It's Sheryl and Beato.

Sheryl couldn't help but touch her earrings. Since a few days ago, she had noticed that her voice was reaching more people and a lot faster than before. It was a little suspicious, so she began to wonder if her earrings had anything to do with it. It was just like home again. She could be imagining it though, so she wasn't really sure. So, she made up her mind to test it on someone. It couldn't hurt, could it? But then again, she purposely chose Shizuo because he proves to be both an interesting and difficult target.

The first person she needed to see is Beatrice. If abilities have returned and their little game is still on, she wants to know how much of a disadvantage was she in. Sheryl Nome really hated the thought of losing, so she had to know what she was up against. Whatever the circumstances were, she was not backing down though. After all, she was the one who made the challenge. She didn't want to embarrass herself by allowing anyone to believe that she was a coward.

The first time they met, Beatrice told her that she was a witch. The thought was both exciting and intimidating. Beatrice was her friend ... but she wanted to know too. Who indeed was the better tease.

"Let the games begin."

[ ooc: sheryl - beato - shi-chan ]

Who: Everyone
What: Thanksgiving!
Where: David Xanatos's castle
When: Late afternon to late night
Why: It's Thanksgiving. Need I say more?
Rating: G unless drama happens?
Notes: ~~Don't tag until I have set everything up~~ Okay have fun kids!

Well it's finally here. Thanksgiving. Saori promised to make this quite a feast and she definitely was thankful for all the help. After recent events ranging from loss to regaining powers, this provided an opportune time to bond with fellow captors. Those not helping in setting up, might be getting a text to remind them of the event.

Place Your Bets

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:53:08 GMT

Posted by: needsteaplz

WHO: Saori Nakagawa & Margulis; any spectators welcome
WHAT: That sparring match they promised
WHEN: Tuesday 11/20, morning
WHERE: Outskirts of town
WHY: Because they wanted to. ~~And people can place their bets~~
WARNINGS: Violence but not to the point where someone gets murdered. ~~I hope~~.

On this morning, Saori was up but not at the Elysium tea house. Any employees or early bird customers can find a sign saying "Opening Late Today. Sorry for the Inconvenience."

Instead she was in the outskirts of town, dressed in her attire she normally reserved for the Dark Hour, waiting for someone.There were several metal flasks attached to her waist since they provided her secret weapon. She had her eyes closed in thought until she heard footsteps.

"Glad you could come, Margulis. Ready when you are."

DUNGEON LOG: NOVEMBER

//take a chance and roll the dice

Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:55:06 GMT

Posted by: velvetyhelpers

Who: The various NPCs of Prospero and you!
When Evening of the 31st--6PM to 11PM
Where: The function hall, City Hall's third floor.
What: PARTY TIME.

[The function hall was no spectacularly grand thing, but it was passable--all in all it was what one might expect from a party held by city officials. Decorations, food, drinks, dancing, the whole nine yards. A few individuals were there early--the Katsaros sisters having assisted in setting up, Detective Gabriel and Officer Harrison slacking off and working security respectively.]

[It was a lighthearted and pleasant atmosphere in general, the only truly unusual thing being the appearance of Prospero's until-then mostly faceless mayor, who one might have been forgiven for doubting even existed until then.]

~~[ooc: Please wait until all the subthreads have been set up; when this is crossed out have at it.~~ GO FORTH.]

Nothing like a dungeon run during Halloween week

Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:31:02 GMT

Posted by: needsteaplz

WHO: Saori and anyone who wants to join.
WHAT: Caliban crawl
WHERE: ....Caliban
WHEN: Oct 29-Nov 2
WHY: Because some people want to relieve their stress and boredom by killing shadows. Oh and reaching out for the truth or something like that.
Rating: PG-13 for violence against Shadows and other things?

On the 29th, everyone on the network received a brief text from Saori:

"If anyone is interested in doing a dungeon run, I'll sticking around the entrance of Caliban for the next few days."

While she wasn't being affected by whatever was going on and the loss of a co-worker, Saori decided she was slacking the progress in exploring Caliban's depths. Regardless, she decided to camp out in front of Caliban's entrance, fighting the shadows that hung around there as she waited. And yes, her hair color is actually a dusty rose pink because of her costume for Halloween. Plus it would be fun to mix it up.

Who: Everybody!
What: Horror movie marathon!
When: October 19th, Night.

Rating: PG to PG 13-ish?

[At around midday, a mass text will be sent out to everyone:

There's a horror movie marathon tonight at Castle Wyvern, at around 8pm! Everyone is free to come along!

[And at the specified time, anyone who comes to the castle will be lead to a room which is set up for horror movie marathon-ing, complete with lots of snacks (provided by Gaignun and Saori) and pillows to hide behind if need be. ~~That was probably April's idea.~~]

Caliban Run

Sun, 17 Jun 2012 06:18:09 GMT

Posted by: needsteaplz

WHO: Anyone who wants in
WHAT: Going through Caliban
WHERE: The tea house and then Caliban
WHEN: June 15th Dark Hour
WHY: Saori was a weirdo and wanted to go to Caliban for her birthday.
RATING/WARNING: PG-13 for Violence against Shadows

[A few days ago, Saori sent out a mass text to everyone:

"I'm going to Caliban on the 15th. If anyone wants to come along, please come to the tea house at 11:30. I'll provide a small meal afterwards."]

[Saori was feeling rather restless when dealing with the shadows lately. Not to mention it had been some time since they did a run through that mysterious dungeon. Also, though she wasn't going to admit it, it was her birthday. She wasn't the sort to expect gifts and such. She was much more comfortable giving to others instead.]

[It's already 11:30pm and she just waits for people to arrive in the attic base.]

Nothing like tea on a summer's day

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:04:56 GMT

Posted by: needsteaplz

Who: Saori, all the people working at the tea house and you (aka everyone get in here!)
What: Grand opening for the tea house!
When: All day, Friday June 1st
Where: Saori's tea house Elysium
Rating: Safe for work, maybe PG rating

Notes: Let's do this one like the beach party. One character per thread, everyone is free to do their own thing here. Employees can chat it up with guests, hijack a someone's table, ask if they can take a look at the mini-base upstairs, etc. Also retconning the hidden staircase to the base to inside the storeroom so no nosy NPCs can find it. Saori will eventually give everyone on the network a copy of the key to that storeroom.

[Today was the day the tea house finally opened. It took some time, but Saori's dream of owning such a place came true. Since today was an important, a little guest spoiling wouldn't hurt anyone. She had skipped over last night's Dark Hour so she could get up early and get some macarons, biscuits, scones and the ingredients for sandwiches in the afternoon.

It's a small building but it sits a number tables for 2-4 people. There are some booths and some tables available. If a guest wanted to, they could have a seat outside in the mini garden filled with various flower bushes.

The plants were watered, hot water and some coffee ready, and all the treats for the morning were set. Time to open shop!]

fun in the sun! open to all!

Fri, 18 May 2012 19:57:04 GMT

Posted by: everydayimshovelin

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Beach Party
WHERE: Prospero Beach
WHEN: Saturday, May 19th all day
RATING: Swimsuits, water fights, sun burns, alcohol--oh my! Will... lock if things get out of hand.

ALSO: We're going to try something a little bit different from normal big event logs as far as organization of threads. I've seen this done with success so we'll try it here! This will be an experiment of sorts. Please comment with ONE THREAD (and only one!) per character to be tagged by others. For your header please write your character's name so people will be able to find and tag you with ease! For example, "Yukiho Hagiwara | Open"; you can check out my posts below as an example! There are three listed areas and please try to contain your characters in these three listed areas in this log. The areas include Prospero Beach's swimmable ocean, Prospero Beach's shore, and the boardwalk. Feel free to let creativity roam free! There are lots to do in any of these locations!

Action or Prose style threading is fine here; no pressure! And don't forget to tag yourself in!

[ Wow.

Enjoying that sizzling heat? The dry, slow-rolling heat that just bakes everything? You thought sitting in a desert was hot. No, this seems hotter. The sun was an oppressive slave driver beating down hot UV lashings onto your poor unprotected backs, the air just sucking the moisture out of everything. So then, is it a relief when suddenly the weather turns for the muggiest? The heat still remains, but it's a gross, damp, icky heat you feel to the bone. The air is so humid and hot you could poke a leak into it with a knife. This disgusting weather goes on for days--until finally on Saturday, there's relief! It's still hot, but the humidity and temperature both drop to at least comfortable hot levels. Not to mention it's sunny, pleasantly breezy and not a cloud in the sky.

Time to hit the beach Prospero! ]

PROSPERO BEACH - THE BOARDWALK
Along this quaint boardwalk are a number of food vendors. Come beat the heat with a Popscicle! Grab some funnel cake! Are those hot dogs being grilled over there? Maybe you'd like some fish and chips! Of course food isn't the only thing that's making its way around the boardwalk; there are performers and peddlers out there to earn a buck as well! Watch out--did someone just ride on by on a bike?

PROSPERO BEACH - THE SHORE
It's clean, pristine sand as far as the eye can see! Thanks to the efforts of the sun and the city it's warm and for the most part litter free! Come for a game of beach volleyball! Build some sand castles! Go for a beach jog! Maybe you're turned off from Boardwalk food so you brought your own grill for a picnic! Or lay down, soak up the sun and take a nap!

PROSPERO BEACH - THE OCEAN
The ocean is refreshingly cold but all the inviting, considering how yucky-hot it's been! The swimmable area on the beach is noted by marked buoys to keep aquatic vehicles out and swimmers in. But outside? Anything goes! There's a dude up the beach renting out innertubes, floatation devices, boogie boards--even row boats, canoes, paddle boats! If you have the money you can spring for such frivolous expenses like a jet ski! Or maybe you have a bud who owns a yacht?
