ACTIVITY CHECK: AUGUST


ACTIVITY CHECK: AUGUST


the basics

Hello, players, and welcome to our activity check for July! Our AC is self-reporting, meaning that all players must comment to this post, even if you have a hiatus or need to take a strike. The one exception to this is if you're on a hiatus that covers the entire duration of the AC period. Characters with a hiatus lasting two weeks or longer do not need to meet the required comment count, but they still need to check in on this post and complete the other AC requirements.

This activity check will close on Saturday, August 31 at 11:59 PM EST, and any characters who fail to respond will be swept from the game. We do not post AC warning lists, so it's up to you to remember to post!


The following players have hiatused during this AC period:
  • Ashley - Hope Mikaelson - Still required to check in
  • Rachel - Jon Snow - Still required to check in
  • Dai - Prompto Argentum - Exempt entirely
  • Brooke - Scarlett Harker - Still required to check in
  • Jejune - Coraline Li - Still required to check in


The following players have taken a strike within the past two months and must make AC this month:
  • No one!

If you have extenuating circumstances regarding this AC period, please PM/PP us directly! We'll leave you off of the above public lists if you contact us privately, as well.


the details

AC for In the Night has three parts.
  • COMMENTS: We require a total of 10 comments, with network and TDM comments counting as half a comment. So, 20 network/TDM comments would equal 10 for the purposes of AC, and 4 would equal 2, and so on. Any combination (such as 5 log, 10 network) is fine as long as it adds up to 10. Please use no more than four threads as AC proofs, and make sure to tell us whether threads are meant to be network or log comments! We'll assume network for everything except threads in the log comm if it's not otherwise listed.

  • SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to this past month! This may include character developments, growth in CR, neat plot discoveries, or anything else that struck you as noteworthy for your character this month. These short summaries should be no more than a paragraph, as they're intended to give us just the gist of what everyone's doing in game. The content of this write-up will not be judged, (so feel free to be entirely informal,) we just want to keep track of what's going on with the characters since we can't read every thread.

  • THREADS: This last part of AC is entirely optional. If you choose, you may link us to threads that are important for plot (or player plot) reasons or for character development, or that you would like to draw our attention to for whatever other reason. If your character is up to something that you think we should be aware of, link us. (These can be threads you used for the 10 comments requirement.) Again, this last part is optional.

Information gathered from these last two elements may be integrated into events and other plot points.


the mini faq

  • What threads can I use for AC? Any threads that take place in our [community profile] logsinthenight or [community profile] networkinthenight communities may be used for AC, as well as threads that take place in characters' personal inboxes or on the TDM for the month. Please note that TDM threads will always count as network threads for the purposes of AC, regardless of their content.

  • Can I use threads started before this AC period? What about using a thread for more than one activity check? Yes, though only the comments made during this AC period will count toward activity.

  • Sooo I can keep using the same TDM thread with a player from outside the game for months and months and still pass AC? Well, hold your horses there, buckaroo. If we notice a player passing AC by way of using the same thread a bunch of times, using a lot of TDM threads, or other "iffy" things like using a lot of threads with the same characters/players or continuously collecting the majority of their AC in the last few days of the month, we may privately reach out to the player to ask for a wider variety of threads in the future. None of these things are explicitly disallowed, but we do want to make sure players are active participants in the game since we have limited slots. All of that stuff will be handled privately on a case-by-case basis.

summary: matt arrived naked and coerced the whole town into giving him pants. he got his hearing blasted by a tree baby, got dragged out of the woods for being a dumbass by Elektra. he has been really grouchy about being in purgatory. he's been trying not to daredevil because he thinks that's going to save his eternal(ly stupid) soul. he made a mask and tapped to the vendor in morse code. he chatted with cao about partying in shifts and spoke a little to Robin when she was reconnected to the network. he's worried about who is gonna give the church basement monster pie now.

comments: 19+ network at the moment of posting this, plus 9 log comments.
summary: Rosi has sure been busy. He went out on a week-long expedition following the river upstream with Hanzo, Kuai, and Wade; began charting the stars in the sky through regular photos on his tablet that he'll begin studying once things settle down a little; he helped dig a trench around The Invincible when the flooding happened; and most recently, he was on the team that went to the Lighthouse itself to hook the Keeper back up to the network, and managed to survive the trip back. Rather than settling in and dealing with existential questions, he's pushed all of that aside this month by just constantly staying busy, exploring, and trying to protect the people of Beacon from forest spirit attacks.

summary: Yes. Suddenly wishing I killed her off for a couple of weeks over autopiloting. More pathmaking with a side of slowly becoming the Batman to Sora's Robin. She would have pulled right back from people when Raylan and others disappeared so that's a nifty explanation of what she's been up to while I work too much. I miss you guys ;;

comments: log, tdm
summary: Davina tried to protect the store upon her arrival from the rats and started prepping the auditorium as her witchy space. It's currently warded against vampires and individuals who have evil intentions. She also jumped into the party to be merry for a bit before heading off as a member of the lookout group. Currently, interrogating Robin and taking notes about the lighthouse.

character: Vanitas
journal: [personal profile] evulsed

comments: 10 log
summary: Vanitas went on an adventure with Sora out onto the lake this month with luckily minimal consequences— those came later, when Kairi disappeared and Sora went off to find her. Vanitas went with Riku and Dawn to find him, though they came up empty until Sora came back of his own volition. Since this got Vanitas to find some chill he joined in on the expedition to the Lighthouse— or at least, demanded Winters take him and had to be talked off the ledge to help with defending everyone instead.

comments: 10+ (log)
summary: since receiving his item request from rastus, peter's made a basic, limited version of his spider-tracer(s). he'll probably make some more in the future, as an aside, but that'll be reliant on more item requests. spider-tracers are basically gps powered by spider (but also, like, they can be interfered with). he's not going to let anyone know he's made any, not yet, BUT if the situation and the time arises....
other than that, he's obvs been to the lighthouse with winters and co. for fun and games (there was none of that).

comments: 31 network (15 AC comments), lots of threads elsewhere but gonna keep it simple!
summary: Assisted some of the newcomers, like showing El around, he also participated in the Wake/Party. Searched for his friends, Kairi and Sora, with Vanitas and Dawn (Replica Riku). He shot out a warning about flooding to the network. Mostly kept looking for Sora alone until he volunteered for the Lighthouse mission, helped report on the results.

comments: Event Top Level - 26 comments by Ignis
summary: Ignis has been busy this month with preparing the "distraction party" for the Forests spirits. Which blew up right in their faces. Currently is having a beef with the Keeper and is in the mindset that she sent Forest spirits after them on purpose. He can't say why she would do that just yet so no open accusations, just subtle implications to the Keeper herself. Intensely dislikes her.

summary: while not involved in planning the party, Cao Pi decided he would be best not going on the lighthouse journey but rather being a good partygoer and so he did. That gave him a chance to meet new people and the Two-Step King, but also be present when shit went down so he could protect and fight. Now he's being hella suspicious of the lighthouse keeper.

summary: Daylight was very busy this month! He and Coraline ate and categorized all the ice cream in the village. He made a sign for the Friend in the Basement/Hozier and tried to help out with the spirits in several ways! Alas - He ended up dying during the party because sometimes attempted friendship isn't quite that magical.
HMD: HMD!
threads: Daylight attempted to make friends with the locals! He made a sign that asked the others to please stop bothering The Friend in the Basement/Hozier. He and Annie also went out on an expedition and made contact with a friendly spirit. Daylight is also canonically dead and I'll be bringing him back with consequences after making the choice to forgoe my death freebie. RIP, the colour yellow. ( 1, 2, 3, 4. )

comments: 5 logs & 8 logs
summary: This has been a very difficult month for Sora. He'd already been struggling with his sense of responsibility for what had happened to his friends as well as grappling with the second hand experience of his own mortality. Curiosity had him setting out with Vanitas to follow the ferry when it departed, to see if they could get any idea of where it was going only to have one Very Spooky encounter. And when he returned it was to find Kairi had died. He set off into the woods asking for help from the forest spirits and returned to Beacon just in time for the party to kick off then go awry. He feared he might have lost Riku and has learned that Replica Riku has gone missing. On top of it all he's trying to reconcile his fond feelings for the forest spirits with what they had to do when they started attacking.

summary: Elden has organized with Wanda the log books and keeping track of information people find in game readily available to the public. He's also made that wall of remembrance for everyone to add to it. He also learned that apparently cameras can take light and make photos? On a more serious note he's helped with the expedition giving spells to both Winters and Spider man to hopefully keep them alive so the lighthouse group can restablish connection. Also working with his own defense group to keep spirits at bay. So, it's been busy.

summary: Kuai went on an expedition with Rosinante, Wade and Hanzo where he got Jellyfished and hallucinated and he didn't enjoy that at all. So potentially no more woods for him for a while. He also rescued a bunch of forest spirits during the event and kept them safe because while he's a spine-ripping assassin, he's also a delicate snowflake. He's finally going to have his tea-date with Hanzo which will definitely just be two Grandmasters discussing Grandmaster things ten feet apart cuz they're not gay.
