GAMEPLAN: FEBRUARY


GAMEPLAN: FEBRUARY

It's nearly February already! Read on to see what's in store for the upcoming month of The Next Night.

FEBRUARY 01 - 13

As February makes its entrance, the temperature continues to plummet. Spending much time outside at all could put you at risk for frostbite. You might want to team up to get the monthly supplies indoors - and even then, the general store, the department stores in the downtown blocks, even the interiors of homes and rooms start to feel awfully frigid as the heating systems battle the deep freeze outside.

And is it your imagination, or are even your movements sluggish? The spirits in town seem alert and able to help you get back indoors if you're having trouble, and have filled any lingering empty spots in the various kitchens of inns, hotels, bars and restaurants, all trying to make sure you have hot food and hot drinks. Thanks, spirits!

Until, midway through the month, some of them begin to disappear. Where are they going, and why? Whether you left a wish on the tree or not, some of them might even leave you a little something before they disappear into the darkness.

Although no log is planned for these events, anyone interested is welcome to create one for braving the cold or trying to find missing spirits. Anything given to your characters by the spirits will come through the post office, so keep an eye on those inboxes!


FEBRUARY 14 - 28

And now, it's time to get to work. That World Eater is on its way, after all. Weaver, Clara, and the few spirits remaining around town are all available to help out. Clara will help anyone in need of anything at Solis' labs, while Weaver runs people back and forth to the Helix Station for the supplies and workshops there.

And how are the spirits helping? Well - cookies, apparently. Cookies which, upon eating, make you more truthful, more affectionate, more outgoing. They're doing their best to spread goodwill! Take some for yourself, gift some to the people who mean the most to you. In our event A Girl, A Boy, and a Graveyard, which will run from February 14-22, you'll have this chance to make final confessions, cement the bonds you've made, and celebrate the life you've lived together in all this darkness. It might be your last chance.


ooc news
As a reminder, there will be no activity check for the remainder of the game. Thanks to all those who made it this far, we couldn't have done it without you! Please do, however, remember to check in for January, and please read over and add to the endgame plotting post if you haven't done so yet.

In the comments below, you'll find the LOOKING FOR GROUP header. If you're interested in doing any kind of exploration in the coming month, go ahead and fill out the posted form under that header, and then comment amongst yourselves to make arrangements! Of course, this isn't requiredβ€”it's just another way to plot stuff with other players. Maybe you've already got a plan and want some brave souls along on the journey with you, or maybe you're just looking to toss your character into an existing group. Whatever you're interested in, feel free to hit up the LFG thread if you'd like to plot exploration stuff for the month!

As always, players are welcome to use this post for OOC event plotting! In fact, please do, as not everyone in the game has access to each other's plurks! If you'd like, you can use the small form below to kickstart your plotting plans:

As mentioned here, Rosi, Law, and Stone discovered a rough location for a missile launch silo up in the mountains. He's not totally convinced it's worth looking for, mostly because he keeps running across green-eyes, but long-distance bomb-launching sounds safer than anything else he's heard of so he's willing to give it a go if enough people want to come along with him and clear the way to it.

Any takers?

Okay so I'm sending Soldat on this one I think. This way he doesn't have to do any direct order-taking from Cao Pi on the other one :P

Perfect solution! I'll get this posted either on the 15th or after Gem posts the plutonium one, whichever happens first.
