♥ Who: Anyone
♥ Where: Insomnia 2.0
♥ When: November
♥ What: A Re-Opening
♥ Rating: E for Everyone

Welcome to Insomnia 2.0's grand re-opening!

Or rather, a quiet re-opening. Delayed by invading worms and taking the time to learn the ins and outs of running a bar, Insomnia 2.0 is back in business - and under new management after the previous owners, Gladio and Tony, disappeared. Prompto Argentum and Ignis Scientia have decided to team up and keep the place going.

There will be no fanfare - there's still a lot of rebuilding and recovery to be done - but the doors will be open. Please stop by and pull up a chair. Prompto is serving up drinks and Ignis is handling the food. Don't annoy the bouncer, and do tip your waitress.

June (Dianir) Event Log
Ainea's time has ended and now Diacht's months have arrived. Dianir marks the beginning of the hot summer months with a rise in temperature as well as humidity. With each passing day, spring gives way to summer, and the natives of Havenwell are enjoying the blue skies along with the newly expanded barrier. With the most dangerous of the beasts gone thanks to offworlder help last month, researchers and conservationists head out on occasion into the newly opened areas to continue the work of cataloguing and preserving what they can find. Some take time to study the barrier and some just seem to enjoy being outside the walls for the first time in centuries. Meanwhile, the city within seems to have calmed from Ealom's excitement, settling into its usual routine with only a few…"hiccups."

( If you can call them that... )

♥ Who: Anybody in Pyra's social circle!
♥ Where: the younger Caelum's house
♥ When: Today!
♥ What: it's Pyra's birthday :3 come celebrate!
♥ Rating: probably G-PG

Pretty much anybody in Pyra's communicator with whom she's even remotely friendly will have received a notice this past week or so with the date, time, and address for… a birthday party! Come on by and pass along your well wishes.

mood

The younger Caelum household is decorated with blues and reds, nothing too fancy but done with obvious care: balloons, streamers, woven flowers. There's music jamming in the living room area, loud enough to be heard but not enough to overwhelm the entire house. Mostly easy listening car tunes, but there's a handful you could dance to if that's your jam.

Noctis is properly hosting rather than wallflowering for once, at the beck and call of the lady of the hour for whatever she wants. He'll make a point to sit Pyra down in a extra-fancily-decorated chair at some point to open presents, complete with a dorky foil crown on her head. She's the queen today!

food

The party is partially catered by Affurgato, as is tradition, so the quality of the buffet is on point. There's also plenty of finger foods from Lucis- real fries, sushi platters, grilled meat skewers. It all smells great.

The cake is a strawberry-vanilla swirl, simply but cutely decorated with chocolate-dipped ulwaat strawberries. There's no set number of candles on the cake; they're peppered on with no set pattern at all. (How old is she? Don't worry about it.)

brood

If you need a quiet space away from a crowd, try the backyard. There you'll find… well, a different crowd. It's kind of a zoo. There's a hawk in his mews, a blue chocobo in her garage stall, two dogs chasing one another, and a lazy mercat in her corner pool. The garden is lovely and populated with freshly growing spring flowers, and while it's somewhat full of furry critters, at least it's quiet.

(( mingle freely! toplevel, tag around! format is also 100% chill, prose or brackets, whatever you want to do. ))

May (Ealom) Event Log
Ealom has arrived and with it comes its typical beautiful weather. The days and nights are pleasantly warm and the city's flora is in full bloom. The greenery from last year has integrated fully into Havenwell's daily life, and pots of flowers can be found on native windowsills and in shops, usually decorated with pink and purple ribbons to celebrate the final month of Ainea. This time last year, a refreshing wind blew through the city, rejuvenating the landscape and this year a new type of change has come on the winds. Look to the skies, offworlders...

( That shimmer means something exciting )

April (Lasai) Event Log
This Lasai marks one year since the outer walls moved, expanding Havenwell for the first time in centuries. The natives are commemorating this event in their own ways, watching the walls for any further changes just in case. With the turning warmer and spring sweeping through the city, it's natural for them and the offworlders to expect something new and exciting to happen. This year, however, it seems they should have been watching for something other than the walls...

( The biggest change comes from within )

♥ Who: Varies but mostly open!
♥ Where: Regis' House
♥ When: April 2- April 4
♥ What: Partying it up Tony style! Gladio's going to love it!
♥ Rating: PG13 for language, alcohol use/ drunken behavior, and general Tony-ness? I'll add CW
♥ Note: Please note that any who know Tony will notice he's looking about five years younger (Icons have been updated)

The intention had been to keep this party small and limited to Eos' favorite boy band and their groupies but with everyone helping out with the bar and the good mood he'd been in... Tony might have accidentally invited more people. Like.. a lot more people. Okay, so he invited everyone. In his defense, who would want to miss out on an official Tony Stark Bash™?

Starting the middle of the afternoon on Friday, the neighborhood surrounding Regis' house would notice an increase in activity as people arrived. By that evening, the windows were open, the music was blaring, and booze was flowing. Someone might have used just about all their extra they'd earned on making tonight special for someone.

So come one and all over to the King's house and let the King of the party pour you a fresh homebrewed beer from his keg, grab some Ignis and Pyra treats, enjoy a slice of delicious red velvet cake with strawberries made by Tony, and drop off a token of appreciation for the birthday boy and keep our fingers crossed he'll show up!

♥ Who: Noctis and you!
♥ Where: Around town, wherever
♥ When: Now + catchall for April
♥ What: Chocobo acquired! And some other stuff
♥ Rating: PG presumably

[The request from Rawna's temple to visit to pick up an "uncooperative package" had been a confusing one; packages typically show up at his door, they don't require cooperation. Even the heavy ones. The reason is made quite clear when he arrives, however, and is greeted with a very familiar "kweh" noise; there's a chocobo in the temple, near the main statue, and two of the priests are trying to guide her forward but she's not budging an inch. They tug at her reins, they try pushing, but no dice. She doesn't move even the slightest bit until he draws out a little whistle he hasn't used in at least a year and a half. The moment he blows into it, she squawks and comes running right over to greet him. His chest hurts just looking at her, and his fingers brush through her feathers as she nuzzles him in playful recognition. Not just a chocobo, but his chocobo. Or at least, the riding partner he'd claimed for himself during his time in Lucis. His rental would have long expired by the time he reached Gralea, but still, she came right up. She knows him.]

...Hey, buddy… gotta be a paying customer, huh?

( one; i want to ride my chocobo all day 🎵 ) - open

[His chocobo is a sight for sore eyes, and for the whole rest of the day Noctis is wandering through town with a chocobo. Maybe he's riding it, walking at a casual pace and just enjoying the feel of it. Maybe they're racing through the street, weaving around residents with a laughing apology. Maybe he's just walking with her, passing her the occasional green leaf and just indulging in that familiar barn smell.

He probably hasn't looked this happy in months.]

( two; there's a lot of noise at the junior caelum household ) - open

[The less fun part about having a chocobo is caring for one- which means having a place for them. Part of his city wandering involved some shopping, namely for building materials and some tools to get things started. He's not a pro at construction by any means (putting it lightly), and the fine-tuning of transforming part of the garage into a stable will require paying someone else to do the rest. What he does get to do himself is knock down the back wall. And that's exactly what he's doing- blowing off some steam by taking a sledgehammer to the stonework, so there's an open path for Captain to walk in and out of the garden. Turns out, breaking down a wall is fun. Sorry for the noise, roomies. And also anyone who happens to pass by or live close.

The chocobo is with him there as well, lounging in the grass and having a staring contest with the hawk in his mews. Her expression is nothing if not challenging: come at me, fellow bird.]

February (Nalom) Event Log
Now that Nalom has begun, Rawna's power is beginning to wane and the inhabitants of Aellyn's last city know that Ainea's time is approaching. The winter months are beginning to warm again, although that doesn't mean the snow is completely gone just yet. With the residents beginning to mix their iridescent adornments and decorations with those of pink and purple, the atmosphere of Havenwell is becoming a little less apathetic and little more loving. Last year, the people celebrated a Happy Nalom with odd new customs, and after a year they've decided to try again with something new. While Rawna's priests are just as apathetic as always, the rest of the city is getting into the mood and it seems that their digitally warm hearts are heating up the city because...

indoor decorations with winter wonderland theme

January (Lasra) Event Log
The new year has dawned and many natives are busy with their VR pilgrimages to the sacred mountain. Others are busy redecorating the town after all the excitement of the last month. With the cold winter days and nights continuing, the occasionally clear blue skies seem all the colder even with Havenwell's nicely temperature controlled environment. The winter has fully set in and so the celebrations continue as natives try to incorporate more of the offworlders' traditions into their own. They know it can't be easy being away from your homes for so long, but they hope adding touches of home to their celebrations might help ease the loneliness some.

( And what better way to celebrate than...? )

December (Ranir) Event Log
The end of the year is here and winter has arrived. The chilly fall weather quickly gives way to cold days and colder nights, perfect for snuggling and watching the first dusting of snow fall. It doesn't seem to stick for long, but it's certainly a beautiful sight to watch out of your windows. Ranir is the beginning of Rawna's time to shine, but the god of apathy breeds apathetic followers and priests - or he usually does. Maybe it's due to the influence of all the offworlders for the past year, but this year? Ranir is strangely familiar in its festivities...

♥ Who: Open to all
♥ Where: Affurgato
♥ When: This week
♥ What: A grant reopening of the best restaurant in town!
♥ Rating: probably PG/13ish?

What a sad, sad month November was. The local cafe, Affurgato, has been closed. However, at the start of this week, a surprise notice is sent out to all communicators:

Affurgato's open again! Come save your sorry tongues from those replicator meals. Or come pet a cat, if that's more your jam. We don't judge here, we only charge.

Also: it's Candlenights! Bring the staff a present. If we find it interesting enough, you might get something extra in your meal. What do the staff like? Well, that's your job to figure out. <3

The restaurant hasn't gone through any sort of redesign, but it is somewhat decked out more than usual; soft colourful lights line the outside, candles on every table (fake or magical, so they are cat-safe and non-flammable), and even Ditto appears to be a little more seasonal this month. Hard to tell whether or not he's okay with this, he's a tough read.

One notable difference is that Lup isn't out running front of house as much, with the kitchen more bustling now that they're down one chef. She's keeping up pretty well, but the seating arrangements have been shuffled around to make the max capacity a little lighter to maintain things if there happens to be a rush. The menu is gently simplified, but the ingredients taste better than ever, and for this week in particular, fresh turkey dinners are back on the menu, alongside a crunchy treat that is called "fried unicorn dick", but is... probably just a battered candy bar. Probably. Maybe. Who's feeling brave?

On the 9th in particular, a fresh message goes out to friends of Honerva, gently pestering them to swing by the cafe for an open mingle. And maybe you should volunteer for a little bit at the cafe, serve, assist Honerva... it's terrible for a lady to have to work on her birthday, after all. You know, if it was her birthday. Wink.

On that day in particular, every visitor gets a free slab of delicious and delicately frosted cake.

Come on over, Havenwellians! Or whatever you're called. The cats have missed you! And you've missed the food, no doubt.

November (Malom) Event Log
The flurry of Lasohm turns into the quiet chill of Malom, and fall at last begins to give way to winter. A chill wind runs through the air, and small, sporadic snowfalls begin to occur in the latter half of the month. Clean-up from the chaos of the events from the previous month is in full swing; abandoned communicators are collected, and for the souls who remain, are traded out for more advanced models, along with their belongings. There is undoubtedly a wave of disappointment in town, as there had been an obvious buzz of excitement to see so many extra bodies populating the city. For those who remember, at least… those who had forgotten are left only with a lingering sadness they don't understand, as loved ones from the past vanish from this world and from their lives once more.

Still, life must go on. And for those who remain, there's plenty to be done.

( And there's no better time to do it than the present )

October (Lasohm) Fourth Wall Log

❥ Speaking of Wall Breaking...

The ghosts in town sure are weird, huh? But they're settling down, as the month draws to a close. They're becoming less anxious and random, their behaviour growing sort of… focused. As time passes some of them begin to develop features. They can interact with the world more consistently. You can… hear their voice.

And then suddenly they are people, real and physical and just as confused to be here as you are. They could be anyone, from your world, someone else's world, a place you've never heard of… some of them could even be you, from a different universe, a different timeline, an unknown reality. What does all this mean?

IT'S FOURTH WALL, Y'ALL. Tell your friends, people interested in apping or just playing around in the setting, anybody! Time to break the wall down and have some fun.

This post serves as a replacement for the usual Test Drive Meme, in order to consolidate the chaos a bit. Though it is being posted now, timeline-wise, this shift will occur ONLY during the weekend prior to applications opening: October 30th to November 2nd, after which point characters will either disappear or become permanent residents via the application process. This also means that the rest of the event effects will have worn off, and characters will be their normal selves through the duration of this prompt.

Some ground rules for the 4th Wall event:

For characters/accounts not in-game:

a character does not have to meet application qualifications to post to the 4th Wall Event, except in cases where there is an intent to apply when applications open. Duplicates, CRAU, AU, etc. are permitted for the event.
we do ask that crack shenanigans are reasonably limited, game rules are followed, and that the event involve characters only, not players or real people.
anyone can toplevel! It'll be a free for all. Go wild, have fun.
characters will be given a temporary, low-tech communicator for the duration of the event with limited network access, due to limited availability of the real deal.
you will not arrive with any items/companions beyond the clothes that you wear
check out the Setting or FAQ pages for location details! Also, have a look at the October event log, to see what else is going on these days.

For characters/accounts currently in-game:

players can decide for themselves at the event's conclusion whether or not memories of certain visitors remain, and to what extent; memories could become fuzzy, faces or communication obscured, they could disappear entirely, or they can remain fully intact whether the person apps into the game or not.
network communications with 4th Wall visitors that don't (or can't) app in will be wiped, with the locals citing a data error related to the older communicators being used. Technology can be unpredictable, huh!
any communication exchanges that you WANT to keep can remain with some discretion; for example, if a spouse visits and you happen to take a selfie with them, and they do not (or cannot) app but having that photo of them would give you comfort, feel free to keep it.
Similar to the TDM, 4th wall threads cannot be used for AC or AC Reward purposes unless it is between characters already in-game.

Click the above prompt to expand for details. Timeline-wise, this occurs October 30th to November 2nd. For players currently in-game, if you have any questions, please direct them to the FAQ or to the Mod Question thread on the original plotting post.

On this post, we've created both another Questions Thread and a Toplevel thread (see below) for visiting players, the latter so that anyone can track and see who's posted! When you've made a toplevel, feel free to comment HERE to let everyone know.

♥ Who: Noctis Lucis Caelum + OTA + closed
♥ Where: Rawna's temple + Ohma's temple + wherever
♥ When: April 3, late afternoon & onward
♥ What: Noctis wakes up from his canon update and tries to cope.
♥ Rating: PGish I'd guess!

( skippable introspective nonsense + closed prompts )

( c. Temples, Rawna & Ohma - OTA )

[For the first day after his awakening, and then sporadically after that, Noctis can be found initially in Rawna's temple, then either there or at Ohma's- the two gods he feels something of a kinship with, not for themselves but for their animal familiars.

At Rawna's temple, he's listlessly tossing whatever he can get his hands on for the dragons to snatch out of the air or hunt down. At Ohma's, he moves a loose string for the cats, letting them swat and chase it or chew on his glove. There's always been something peaceful and cathartic about animals, for him. Easier than people; no questions to answer, no misery to share. He won't object to company, of course, but he'll be unusually reserved for a while.

He avoids Ainea's temple like the plague.]

( d. Wildcard - in town )

[Hit him up somewhere in town, he'll be around, albeit a little grim. Or PM/PP @ fontech if you want to plot or set up an alt prompt!]

November (Malom) Event Log
The chaos of Lasohm's invasion is still fresh in the mind, but it's over. The ugly scar of the hole in Havenwell's wall is a jarring reminder that this world is dying and nothing goes quietly into that dark night. The phantom is gone as Malom overtakes Lasohm, the weather turning colder and chillier with each passing day. Still, the city of Havenwell has all of you offworlders to thank for its survival, and the fearful citizens make sure you know just how much they appreciate you by stopping you on the street to say their thanks. Your new home still needs your help to recover from their ordeal though, so will you lend them your strength once more?

( You're their only hope, Huggy-one Kenobi )

July Intro Log
Welcome to Havenwell! The walled city and its robotic inhabitants welcome all of the offworlders to Aellyn. New arrivals are given their tablets and showed to open housing, given tours around the city, and generally helped with settling into their new world. Some robots are more curious than others, more helpful than others, but overall the atmosphere of the city is one of hope and celebration. It is, however, a city that needs some help, and as newcomers wander, they may find that they can do a lot to aid Havenwell in its recovery.

( Welcome welcome, please make yourself at home )
As a reminder, please post your character to the Taken Character list and your own information to the Player Contact list as soon as possible. It helps us keep track of our player cap!

If you have any other questions, please ask them in the QUESTION thread below. Feel free to use the CR/Intro Meme to do OOC plotting. Otherwise, welcome to Hugtopia's first mingle log!
