ACTIVITY CHECK: FEBRUARY


ACTIVITY CHECK: FEBRUARY


the basics

Hello, players, and welcome to our activity check for February! 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, February 29th 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:
  • Carlee - Dana Scully, Elektra - check-in required
  • Kitty - Matt Murdock, Carmilla Karnstein - check-in required
  • Liz - Lunafreya - no check-in required
  • Melly - Daylight - check-in required
  • MJ - Crowley - no check-in required
  • Noodle - Richie Tozier - check-in required


The following players have taken a strike within the past two months and must make AC this month:
  • Mippins - Newton Geiszler
  • Jejune - Coraline
  • Margot - Wanda Maximoff

If you have extenuating circumstances regarding this AC period, please PM/PP us directly!


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.

Additionally, players who make double AC with 20+ comments for one character will be entered into a RNG pool for a shot at playing an NPC shopkeeper for the next Night Market visit! The Night Market comes around on the second weekend of every other month, so, for example, the activity checks in October and November will be used to determine the NPCs for a Night Market visit in December. One player will be RNG'd from each month, giving us two players NPCing during each Night Market visit, alongside Pluto and our mods' rotating shopkeepers. Check out this page for details on what to expect from playing a Night Market shopkeeper.


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.

character: Eliot Waugh.
journal: [personal profile] endlessflask

comments: Log - 9 Comments & Network - 4+ Comments
summary: Since arriving, Eliot has been getting to re-know all the people that knew him before. He's moved in with Midge Maisel because birds of a fashion feather should stick together, and he's been taking combat classes at the rec center because he wants to go with Quentin to the radio tower. There's been two random encounters, one for Valentine's Day where he got a flask from a secret admirer, and another during the event where he saw a figure in a mirror mask.

comments: 10+ log comments
summary: Clark and Kal have been settling in in different ways. In Clark's case, after building a bridge to help get to the greenhouse, he's fixing up the inside and has started planting edible crops in it. He's going to record a few piano pieces for the Songbird app, make a soundtrack for Preston of the Night Market's plays, and look into those power boxes in the downtown area to see if it's not too unlike the tech he's used to in Earth of 2019. Bruce has also given him an SD card with an app that translates Morse code, which will be made public soon. He's also figured that the Gacha Machine might have some kind of... spirit... trapped inside, or something.

Kal, meanwhile, has mostly been doing Superman-ly things, and is very open about being an alien from another planet. He fixed the elevator after a quick investigation, tried to help with a river expedition that rapidly went south, and is now planning on an exploration to get the shopping centre up and accessible. He's explored the limitations of his powers to some degree and is aware of the bonfire and the moon's energising properties only.

Clark/Kal have also been made aware that the Bruce they're acquainted with is his best friend in the whole multiverse, Bruce Wayne (albeit a younger version of him). It's a lot to take in.
HMD: here
threads: Clark receives the SD card, plans, prepares, and messes about for the greenhouse, and makes friends with the Gacha Machine. Kal fixed the elevator, found torches, and failed to save Fjord from the river.

night market: Sure!

summary: he explored the courthouse, and got chased out the window by the spirits that dwell there, breaking his leg. his lantern was also damaged, causing him to lose all memory of fantine. he discussed what to do about the courthouse spirits with bucky and minimus, and helped minimus build the jailhouse near the village. he's beginning to open up a little more emotionally with those he trusts, namely rosalind and kol, but like most of his emotional experiences, it's overwhelming.

comments: bababoom log (25+) bababoom log (30+) bababoom log (45+) double activity combo
summary: Sora spent the beginning of the month putting up the lights to downtown and trying to get the bartender spirits to forgive him for all of January! He met a lot of people at the ferry and the cat herd, talked to Vanitas and that was fine, then met Naminè and that went much better. He started work on a B&B with Misty, made some very interesting and arguably bad deals at the Night Market, definitely did not save Masaomi or Fjord from death, and made enough Valentines for everyone in Beacon! He is going to get one HELL of a memory boost from the aurora festival (didn't befriend the bartender spirits fast enough smh) and he's making some vague plans to talk to some people about those memories! Aaand in a few days he's going to take the wolf pack + Jason out to the amusement park out east. Yeehaw!

He is making so many new friends! So many! No time to be depressed or dead if you're this busy! This is fine!

comments: log 27
summary: This month Vanitas bullied Sora, bullied Clark, got in a knife fight with Dean, turned around and opened up to Bruce, had a particularly passionate fist fight with Riku. He threatened Daylight some more over Dr Solis safety at the meeting after the tea party. He asked Bruce to help him get down to the Night Market so he could make a request — and then the aurora happened. The aurora brought with it a lot of interesting things, not the least of which were some particularly heavy conversations about feelings and love, of all things. A lot of movement has happened in Vanitas' motivation and understanding of his place in the world and what he may or may not want to do with that.

He returned a few opals and received some, and was open about the nature of his actions from when he was alive. A small spirit stalked him for a day. The idea of saving an entire world is a bit much, but he's warming up to the plan here.
