CHECK-IN: MAY


CHECK-IN: MAY


the basics

Hello, players, and welcome to our activity check for May! Our AC is self-reporting, meaning that all players must comment to this post, even if you had a hiatus in May. The one exception to this is if you're on a hiatus through the entire duration of the AC period.

Currently, The Next Night is check-in only! This will remain the case for the foreseeable future, both due to the current global pandemic as well as The Next Night's GPSL status. Some time after apps open, we may shift to a very simple AC system. We are still working out the details on this, and will alert you all one month in advance before any proof of activity for AC is required.

Beginning in June's activity check (so, June 22), we will offer an AC bonus: players who submit an AC proof in the form of one thread with either 5 log comments or 10 network/TDM comments will be granted one bonus explore token for use in July.

This check-in will close on Sunday, May 31 at 11:59 PM EST. 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:

  • N/A


The following players have taken a strike within the past two months and must make either make full AC in April-May or May-June:

  • All previous outstanding strikes have been cleared. Thank you for sticking with us during this transition!


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 The Next Night currently has two parts.

  • SUMMARY: Let us know what your character has been up to in April and May! For the May AC period, we would still like you to fill this section out! 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. Again, this last part is optional.



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

character: Zihuan Cao Pi
journal: [personal profile] pure_havoc

callada: (Default)

[personal profile] callada 2020-05-22 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
player: Lauren
character: Rosinante Donquixote
journal: [personal profile] callada

summary: Most of April and May were occupied by preparing for the flood, and then doing some search and rescue after the rain let up in May. April was also when Rosinante started pushing Pluto for information on how to defeat the world eaters - but more immediate concerns have kept him too busy to really try and see if they can reach out to her. Now he's supporting Cao Pi in his push for some sort of leadership, and crossing his fingers that the spirits don't kill them all while they're still picking up the pieces after the flood.

Also he and Mary found spirit ducks while torch-hunting and honestly it was a wholesome time.
threads: His big personal victory was finding Xayah still alive and now he wants to make sure Daylight's flowers keep growing in the greenhouse forever.

player: Psi
character: Ardyn
journal: [personal profile] immortalaccursed

summary: Daemonified a little forest spirit and got violently ill. At the same time was hit by the status effect from the hint machine. This defined most of his month.
threads: Also when he was sick he leaked darkness all over the Landmark.

character: Link
journal: [personal profile] sublimebeast

summary: Chased down a feather and made friends with a thing that may or may not be a cat. "Friends". Helped with repairs and has otherwise been wallowing in guilt over failing to save the people swept away in the flood.

player: Erica
character: Jason Grace
journal: [personal profile] notthatjason

summary: After securing the Invincible from the flood, Jason's thrown himself into rebuilding and repairing -- both physical spaces and everyone's morale. He's been in talks with Cao Pi about some more of council/group of leaders. Bridges and clean up were a priority, though he did take the time to go with some others to check on Robin. The only other big thing he did was host the memorial service for those that were lost.
threads: Jason putting his name forward as a group leader and The memorial speech
ultraviolents: (who wants to give it a whirl?)

[personal profile] ultraviolents 2020-05-25 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
player: carlee
character: elektra natchios
journal: [personal profile] ultraviolents

summary: elektra helped shield the invincible and the fire from flooding; unfortunately the house she shares with matthew was damaged so she moved with him, wanda, and treeby into the landmark inn. she and matthew also found a torch and went on a date (these things are related i swear) and she and rosi tried to look into why the landmark suddenly went dark.

character: megara
journal: [personal profile] bigtoughgirl

summary: she helped reinforce the landmark and then found a torch when she went into the woods and found a spirit that tore open a rotted tree and started eating grubs. gross. she also went on an explore to the orphanage with masaomi, haein, and carmilla but that got cut pretty short (there was a headmaster, some ghost kids pulled some pranks, it's fine).
threads: the aforementioned explore!

player: Keri
character: Fitz Kreiner
journal: [personal profile] rereremembered

summary: Fitz recovered a torch, helped build a "bridge", and has offered to help Soldat with food/drink service at the Invincible. He's likely follower up on that last one and can be found pouring teeny tiny drinks for people most evenings, since supply is vanishingly small and he knows how rations work.

player: Gail

character: Bucky/Soldat
journal: [personal profile] worthallthis

summary: Over April he helped prepare for and then weather out the flooding, including occasional actual patrols through the flood waters. In May he did a lot of bridge rebuilding, searching around, and found some tunnels and some, uh, dead bodies with Fjord, plus the doors with the keypads, which he got the code for from Pudding and Clara and passed along to Kuai's group. He attended the memorial and made lots of little boats :(
threads: A couple of conversations about Cao Pi's leadership, getting the code(-ish) for the doors, and painting some names on the memorial, along with leaving some things.

player: Raven
character: Misty Day
journal: [personal profile] shadowsran

player: Daz
character: Pudding Charlotte
journal: [personal profile] purin

summary: Oh boy. Coordinated nearly the entirety of the food and medical supply safeguarding before the flood (including packaging for waterproof or water-resistant storage); continued keeping inventory of the entirety of the storage at The Invincible specifically for the entirety of the activity period and will continue to do so (I'll submit this as a player project). Made a map for the Solis' Lab Exploration Party using her navigation and cartography skills. Helped with the Greenhouse plant explore. Created rations and potions for the explore party that should be available for all explores going forward (I'll also submit that as a player project asap). Started cooking breakfast daily in The Invincible. Yanked a roll of embarrassing memories out of Fjord's head and feels bad about it. Discovered she's a lot more like Soldat than she would ever have guessed. Offered to help with cooking lessons as an addition to Javert's fighting and first aid. Flirted with just about everyone who seemed like they might be amenable to it.

threads: Sent a folded paper crane with her own full name on it out into the lake with the memorial boats and lanterns.
