JUNE INFORMATION POST

Hello everyone, it's time for the monthly information post once again! This post details everything that shall happen this month-- Most importantly the meeting with the President of Esdham and the game of Clues! July will be dedicated to the Festival of Light and preparations for the Second Anniversary Event, that shall begin with meeting Palitutu. Melodies of Life is entering its final phase and now it is up to you to find ways to save the world-- Or not.

Should you have any questions regarding this month's happenings, please feel free to post them here.

Reunion || June 10th
Following Palitutu's Letter, Heroes of Light have contacted their relations amongst the NPCs, and one in particular yielded fruits. Indeed, the President of Esthar will accept to receive Heroes of Light on the 10th of June to discuss with them of their options against Palitutu and the Calamity. Only characters who are / used to be in the Militaries or Law Enforcement will be able to go to this meeting, for security reasons. They will be able to recount everything to the other Heroes of Light afterward.

Contacting other NPCs will also yield fruits that shall help against Palitutu, and maybe bring about victory against her and Ultima Weapon. These however will be confined to the NPC Contact threads.

Cluedo || June 15th - 30th
Citizens of Aqures Ixen will be getting murdered starting June 15th, without any explanations whatsoever. But it will be obvious enough the murderer for all of these cases is the same person. And of course, Heroes of Light will be getting murdered too. Who might be the culprit?

It's a secret to everybody. However, the criminal will be using mind-controlled Heroes of Light to commit the murders, therefore making it harder to track him as they won't remember having done anything. You will be able to sign-up your character to be an Investigator, a Victim or a Murderer-- Or maybe all three at once? After all, what's worst than for an Investigator to die before finding answers or for a Murderer to be killed before being caught?

The sign-ups for Investigators will be normal. However, the sign-ups for Victims and Murderers will be screened and who will be picked to die or commit a murder from these sign-ups will be randomized. Meaning OOCly, the mystery will be whole: we will hand Murderers what they need to know and make public the details of characters' death along with any clues that might be found. Then, it will be the Investigators' job to find the truth. Heroes of Light killed early may come back to life before the event's conclusion and as such they will be able to shed light on how they died. Furthermore, both the Victim and Murderer will be able to play out the crime: their thread will simply be screened till the event's conclusion.

The event will culminate with a Hero of Light getting killed off for real-- That is, if any of you do sign-up for the special option. If not, an alternative will happen for the event's conclusion. Last but not least, if the Investigators do a good job the true culprit will be found and maybe he won't be able to bother the Heroes of Light any more...

THE CALAMITY IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE
Progression Rate: Fast
— The Calamity grew faster after The Answer —

Locations to be Lost:
Temple of Wind | August 03rd

Locations in Danger:
Downapolis
Pass of Roalie
Chocobo Forest
Aerilon

Locations Saved:
Mysidian Tower
Village of Santa Claus
Crystal of Water (moved to Mysidia)

At the current speed, the Calamity will have destroyed the world in approximately: Seven Months.

This quest isn't part of any event. There is an indefinite amount of time to complete it, but there will be no new quests until its completion. This quest has to be logged and a mod has to be contacted to play the monster. There is no insurance that the characters will win against the monsters and the mods will be merciless, therefore you should prepare yourself as well as possible.

Capture A Hamster
The old man in charge of the Monster Arena wants the ultimate monster. The one that keeps children afraid at night, the terror that scares even imperial troops, the killer of Heroes of Light, the beast whose name is enough to send anyone shivering in fear: a Hamster! He will accept no substitute for this quest.

Reward: Diamond Crystal (x1), Sapphire Crystal (x1)

• June 01st - June 13th
Mognet will function normally.

• June 14th
A bug in Mognet Central will make it so any private mail sent by a Hero of Light to another Hero of Light will accidentally be sent to all Heroes of Light as well as to Cid, Biggs, Wedge, Mograma, Merlose, O'aka and the Monster Arena guy. The entirety of Mognet would like to apologize in advance for this.

• June 15th - June 30th
Mognet will function normally.

After nearly two months, The Answer is reaching its end and tags have gotten slower for a while now. The event was tough to handle with that many groups, therefore if you would like a conclusion or summary of the event that have not yet come to pass in the threads, please reply to the appropriate thread below and we will do our best to give you the event's conclusion!

All Heroes of Light have a permit allowing them to board Airships from Shoopuf Airline© for free. Shoopuf Airline is a civilian company handled by Hypello. At this point in time, the following cities can be reached thanks to Shoopuf Airline: Balicea, the County of Flence and Trano Golsaucia. To reach Aerilon, one has to rent a ship at Balicea and access the city by sea. A special airship is dedicated to going from Esdham to Aqures Ixen. All Imperial Territories are off-limits.

As Airships stop by four cities, it takes them approximately 12 hours to go from their departure point to their arrival point. Chocobos are allowed to board airships.

If we opt in to get our character murdered in the name of plot, how long before they come back? Also, are there death penalties?

One week, the death penalties are the same than usual.

I'm garnering that that info is in the FAQ then?

Indeed!

Does the airship still go to Flence, even though it's crystallized? Or did the routes change?

The routes change, the head mod ~~is just too stupid~~ forgot to change it.

Ah, you forgot the Lunar Gate in the saved option.

Lunar Gate wasn't saved yet. The Emerald Crystal slowed down the Calamity, but it is still progressing and will get there around August.

Reply here to ask questions about The Answer if you want the conclusion.

I'd love results for the groups with Chrom, Elsa von Spielburg, Lust, and Rukia Kuchiki please, since I don't think they're being tagged anymore. Thank you guys for tackling such a big event, it was a lot of fun!

A storm would have hit the ship eventually and it would have sunk. The Heroes of Light would have washed on the coast by Balicea, along with a few crew members. However, all the Doppelgangers encountered died by drowning following the storm. Their bodies may or may not have reached the shore, at player's convenience.

Wow, gruesome.

I APPROVE.

How about the other groups? I'll try to list all of the members.

Lust, Duster, Aya Brea, Minato
Elsa von Spielburg, Albel, Malik, Sheena, Ales
Rukia Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Yuri Lowell, Selphie Tilmitt, Flynn Scifo

Group 01 was technically finished with their scene. After the mother died, they would have to break the news to her son and work out what to do from there.

Group 02 would end with Al-Mualim telling them that this vision was born of their memories, and he would have taunted them on their past and future failures.

Group 07 fought Lucas and Kyle until they were defeated, after which they would go back to their senses. Just before dying permanently and disappearing, they said that it was too late for them and their homeworlds, but not for the participants, and beg Aya and Duster to survive or else their worlds will be killed.

Not sure if it matters at this point, but Rukia's plan of action with the boy would have been first to see if he had any relatives or close friends he wanted to live with, and would have stuck close beside him the entire while. If he didn't have anyone else, then she would have asked the man at the chocobo ranch. And if everything else failed, hell, Rukia would adopt him into the household.

Oh wow am I ever late to react to this one. So is there a chance that there's a pint-size Ichigo!Clone lurking around the house now? Or... are we just going off the notion that they made a side trip to chocobo-land to drop the kid off? Man, we need to figure this out. It's burning a hole in my brain. :O

No idea, I guess it's up to the mods! I'm going to assume they found him a home fairly soon, so we don't have to NPC a kid. BORING.

Well y'know, it would give certain housemates who shall remain nameless more incentive to get out of bed in the morning. ;)

We'd like results for the Temple of Earth group since almost all of us got slowed down by health problems. The last thing we were doing was going to check out the laboratories, and then the crystal chamber if possible.

EDIT: And in a more general note, was it revealed who was responsible for the event? I know there are enough clues to figure it out, but I'm not sure where we're standing on IC knowledge.

Edited 2016-06-01 21:00 (UTC)

They would have seen artifacts from their homeworlds and computers in the offices of H. Ojo and C. Efca, that is if they went in there. The computers would have had holographic projections of what they've done back home, in Terra's case her time working for the empire and in the other, Vincent's "murder" by Hojo. The other characters would have been spared the trauma. Following this, the facility would have stopped working altogether and crumbled, until their escape.

No, the culprit wasn't revealed. However your group and group 3 together might uncover who it was post-event with the clues they got.

Clarification question: Would everyone have been able to witness the traumas in the offices (everyone have seen the holographic projections) or just the two 'subjects' involved?

Cura, Joh and I would like the results for the thread with Mikleo, Lailah and Edna since tis about done I think? We're all okay with seeing the results if possible. Thanks ! :D

So the second event thread(The one that was going to be Bartz and Minako focused) never unlocked for his group, so I was wondering if I could get a quick summary of what was intended to happen there?

They would have been taken to the Interdimensional Rift by Shakyamuni, who would have warned them an entity "similar to her" but "still physically present" in Crystallis is planning their demise. This entity was sealed away till recently and represents the "hatred and disdain" of the Calamity toward the Heroes of Light. Shakyamuni took them to the rift to protect them from his doings.

As a side effect, Minako would have seen flashbacks of her time as sailor in there, whilst Bartz would have witnessed himself and his friends as they fought in the rift in FF5. Interrupting or somehow getting into contact with his own past self would have resulted in his temporary death. They would have been released from the rift after a few days, near Aqures Ixen.

Not really about the event result, but would Barkeep and the others get to talk to the other actors after the play? And if so, is it possible for them to communicate after the group returns to Aqures Ixen?

It would be possible for them to keep contact, yes, though the actors are always on the move, hence regular contact would be difficult.

If no one else from Midna's group (Zelda and Bloom) are opposed, results for their thread involving the triforce would be great!

The voice would have been revealed to be Zant-- Not a Doppelganger, but a memory of the actual Zant who was once a "Hero of Light" and whose lingering memories didn't return to Crystallis after his death. He would have revealed that the Triforce was the real one, but that the planet itself killed the "light dweller" to prevent the Triforce's power from being used. After that, he would have caused the fragments to vanish. Where they rest now is unknown.

If asked he would have revealed an "Avatar" gave his memory a temporary form-- How the Triforce of Power came to be on their way is unknown, but it's a safe bet Zant did it on purpose to kill Link. He would then have proceeded to do what he does best, belittle and antagonize Zelda and Midna, pointing out they couldn't save a single life and they have no hope at doing anything against the Calamity. He would also have hinted that his God had the right, though what he meant by this is unclear.

results for team oni's primary thread would be welcome too, at least where this mermaid witch is concerned!

The Primary Thread was nearing its conclusion. Once Sayaka would have given her "Answer" whether this was an actual answer to the question or expressing confusion, Kyousuke would have called her a monster and water would have flooded back into the ocean. At this point, the dream would have ended and they'd all have woken up at the same time.

Requesting the results for the thread with Sheena, Albel, Ellie, Ales, and Malik, please!

Honestly...I'm dying to know this...

The thread was for the most part done, save for the conclusion. Al-Mualim would have explained that this all is born from their memories, and that even he is nothing more than a memory. He isn't the one who made all of this, but an "avatar" who wanted to point out their flaws and weaknesses, which he would have pointed out, are particularly strong in Sheena and Malik. Should they have protested, Al-Mualim and the city around them would have faded, except for the corpses of the soldiers they killed. It remains unclear whether these soldiers were actual people they killed because of the illusion, or part of the illusion.

Wrapping up Team (Bad) Shipping Advice. What do Ramza, Rialynn, Barkeep, and Nanami need to know about how the play ends?

Since the worst was avoided, the play would have had an happy ending with everyone getting more or less along. They could have felt as though someone around them was very angry, but who they couldn't know.

The Calamity Simulation can be found in the Mysidian Tower and can alter the Calamity's progress. Crystals that can be used in the Calamity simulation may be handed by NPCs or throughout Events, Quests or Player Plots. If you plan on using the Calamity simulation this month, please reply to this thread before the 25th of May. Any use of the Calamity Simulation after the 25th will be counted for June instead.

Sapphire Crystals: Prevents a specific region to be crystallized.
Emerald Crystals: Slow down the crystallization process around a particular region.
Ruby Crystals: Attract the Calamity to a specific region.
Diamond Crystals: Uncrystallize a specific region.
Silver Crystals: Triple the Calamity’s speed across the entire world.
Gold Crystals: Halve the Calamity’s speed across the entire world.

Please use the form below. You have to link the thread or post in which your character acquired the crystal, and you also have to mind whether other characters may try to stop you (such as if you were to use a Ruby Crystal on Aqures Ixen).
