Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. It's still chilly, but not enough that you can't manage on your own. The Lady of the Lake is swimming around under the water, helping to rescue any wayward travelers who look like they're struggling in the water. This month's helpers are giant pillow jellies, a species of jellyfish that is capable of ballooning itself at the surface to create bouncy pads for characters to hop across to the shore, should they choose or not be able to swim. They come in a variety of bioluminescent colors, but do not seem to be very talkative even to animal magic users. Those who try may find themselves being ignored, even if they hear the jellies talking amongst themselves about this and that. If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly. *Reminder: Your character's familiar may or may not be with your character in their initial plunge. If the familiar isn't partial to water, it may meet your character on the beach or sit atop their head while they swim. Or if they are, they might splash about and swim alongside your character. Familiars have different personalities and body specs and we leave those up to the players. B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones and a pair of special ear buds (the supplier was out of the regular ones) and tell them to "Check the Shit Box." The "Shit Box" refers to wardrobe more formally known as the Wardrobe of Finding, a hammerspace-like wardrobe that opens to each person's items and pets when the person touches the handle. It was recently enchanted by Merlin to prevent people from having to fish their waterlogged possessions and pets out of the water with them. From there, Archimedes directs everyone to settle in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and gives them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The rest of the universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go. These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk. C ⦿ The Red Spring The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies. If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing. It may be a little chilly when you get out though, so make sure you don't slip rushing back indoors when you get out! The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do... if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there. After the new arrivals come in, they'll find that this month they came in on the middle of a rather tumultuous time... people are arguing and debating about a future decision to be made. King Arthur recently tried to negotiate with Celliwig's people to open the doors to Camelot, but they refused, and the people have been left with a decision: 1. attempt long-distance, slow wooing of Queen Elphame via the Elphame Traders of the next couple of months, 2. attempt to prove a balanced and deeper understanding of the need for both pure and impure hearts by suggesting an acceptance of trials from Celliwig, or 3. band together under Camelot's flag to invade Celliwig. Celliwig is a place of communication between Elphame and Camelot that bypasses the need for weeks of dangerous, often fatal travel, so the choice is very important in regards to how Camelot both presents itself to the fae people in the future. To that end, people with strong beliefs about particular choices have arranged gatherings to draw people in to hear their perspectives on what the choice should be. A ⦿ Honey Over Vinegar A wide variety of people have sided with this group, including the Elphame Traders, as cutting Celliwig off from them would mean a much harder journey each month to the city of Camelot. (Though commerce always does find a way.) This group is hosting a Tree-Picking Tournament! Of course, the trees to be picked are out in the farmlands, and members of the lobbying group will be giving people free one-use Farm Totems to get to the tournament. The trees in this grove are a little different than normal trees, however. For one, they don't bear fruit. This is Camelot's cookie orchard, composed of special fairy tree hybrids that grow a variety of sweet treats on their branches instead of fruits. There are your usual chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies, but also little puff-like wedding cookies on bushes or checkboard cookies blossoming out of stems instead of flowers. There are even some trees that have clusters of miniature French macarons! The best part, at the end when you turn in your cookies for the count and get your participation prize (and bonus pamphlet about how slow and steady wins the race), you can totally keep and eat them, so be careful not to drop them! How you get them down from the tree is up to you, of course. Try some magic, or maybe just some regular old tree-shaking will do the trick.. just be careful you don't accidentally knock down any wasp nests. Those stings will hurt bad! B ⦿ A Balanced Approach The party of people who want to try to woo Celliwig over to smooth things over see this little political gathering with cookie-based bribery and quickly fashion their own event to make sure the fanfare isn't all for just the one idea. To gather people in to hear their side of the story, this group has decided to host a bug catching contest! Head out into those flower fields between Camelot and the Red Springs that are now thriving thanks to April's plentiful rains. Whether you use a net or figure out how to use your magic to get the bugs, it's how many you catch, not what kinds you catch that count-- so make it fast and make it plentiful! And at the end of the day, what you choose to do with your captured bugs is up to you. Crush them or free them, keep them or eat them, whatever it is you want to do... ultimately, all moral choices are valid, right? So let's go along with what Celliwig wants! Don't forget that May is the season of the frog, however, and you'll be in competition with a variety of sentient and wise members of the Frog Tribe, a group of bipedal frogs who live in the southernmost part of the lake and come up to the flowerfields to stick their tongues out for some delicious bug treats. They have no problem sticking their tongues right into your captured bug nest, hopping on heads to steal your catches, and do all kinds of crazy interferences like snipping belts and tonguing ankles to trip people. You may want someone to watch your back for this event, lest you get done in by a hopper. C ⦿ A Show of Strength The more war-hungry citizens of Camelot seek to go to war. This whole issue will be over if Celliwig itself isn't the one in charge of communication and it's just made directly between Elphame and Camelot, rather than having a mediator who refuses to mediate. They believe that a show of strength is the only way to solve this problem, and as such, they'll be demonstrating that the greatest rewards come from strength by organizing an expedition to a cave at the base of the Ash Mountains. Taking a path squarely between the Dusklight Woods and the edge of the Lands of Rot to the base of the Ash Mountains, this expedition will lead into a cave known as the Giant Cave. It's a pretty on-the-nose name, since it really is a big cave. One of the cool things about this cave is that it's filled with geodes. Those who have enough strength can use provided pickaxes and drills to dig up their own crystals and gold, both great for jewelry and enchanting. In particular, there is a large amount of: • Rose quartz: dark mages can make their love spells much more powerful and healers can use this to enhance spells that soothe anxieties and self-doubt • Amethyst: siphoners increase the potency of counter-curses and light mages will find this stone makes their hard light shields stronger than ever • Agate: strengthen cognitive abilities like post-cognition for a clearer picture of what happened by enhancing perception, and death mages will find they're able to extend their possession times by about 30 minutes by using an agate to stablize their aura • Moonstones: will increase navigation as a traveler's protection for kinetic users-- no longer will you risk tripping over a rock while going at enhanced speeds, or can be traded to fairies to potentially bring down a steep price to something more reasonable • Black tourmaline: a crystal that shields from opposition/negativity-- for technomancers and elementalists, this means that technology is more likely to side with them over another technomancer, or elementalists will find that when using opposing elements, theirs will come out stronger-- like water vs fire, electric vs rock, etc. • Hematite: can soothe blood, leaving it a good tool to enhance animal and blood magic-- animals may trust you more readily by having a calming effect on them, and blood mages may find that they heal more readily after using their abilities • Boji stone: alchemists will find that this is a good stabilizer for for particularly volatile potion combinations, and the properties of this stone leaves green mages to sense new types of plants they haven't yet encountered in passing, even if they're not looking at them It's not particularly a contest in this case-- you can keep and use what you want, and this show of strength has given you more power than ever, so why not consider the same concept for how to deal with our unneighborly neighbors in Celliwig? It may be sweaty business, but surely hitting some rocks will show you the value of strength! With the surprisingly tame day in the Giant Cave, one would think that the Ash Mountains were something of a safe place. No one really bothered the travelers, but that's because no one had been home at the time. as it turns out, the Giant Cave is home to a giant... douchebag of a minotaur. Not a giant, despite the name. His name is Simon and he doesn't like to share, and now that a bunch of people have gone and taken his rocks (he didn't even know there were crystals inside, nor does he do anything with them). Now he has to take his revenge, regardless of not knowing who actually took the crystals that were never really his to begin with, they just happened to be in rocks near where he sleeps. A ⦿ A Stone's Throw from Revenge The minotaur is a very instinctive creature, and his instincts say that the people of Camelot, the nearest settlement, are the ones who need to be punished for this. He uses his superhuman strength to drag huge rocks and boulders all the way to the north-east edge of Camelot, seemingly for no reason, until he's got practically a wall built. At which point he starts picking them up, spinning, and then vaulting the rocks into Camelot's buildings. You may find yourself inside of one of those buildings and scrambling to check if everyone and yourself is okay, or perhaps you're rushing out to stop the minotaur from throwing another. Either way, it's a sudden attack and you're going to have to act fast. Trying to attack the minotaur will be difficult, since it has superhman strength and durability, sharp horns atop its head, and can smell you coming from a mile away. Get creative, and stop the minotaur before it's too late! B ⦿ There's Safety in Numbers Once the minotaur's attacks stop, it flees to recover its wounds, promising it will come back to destroy Camelot once and for all. It's a time for reprieve and to help clean up the damage. Use your magic to help clean up broken buildings and structures, or heal and help others who were injured in the sudden, mostly unprovoked attack. Many of the uninjured citizens will be going around town and providing drinks, towels, and cups of noodles to those who are helping out. Because of the impending threat of the minotaur's return, it's recommended that otherworlder's use the (Recipe) Buddy System spell. The way they explain it, it's a spell designed to alert your buddy if you're in danger and lasts about an hour. The way it actually works is you must be touching your buddy in any way at all times for the next hour. Unfortunately, it seems like the volunteers sharing the recipe may have missed that it was created in a kindergarten class, not for adults. C ⦿ Gross Thankfully, the Buddy System wears off before the Minotaur is back for round two. When the Minotaur returns, the castle has since gathered forces to the edge of town to defend it from another attack. It's unclear where the Minotaur went to get healed, but whoever he went to apparently had some advice, however, and the instinctive minotaur gave into a different instinct for part two of his revenge. Rather than go right back to his pile of rocks, he instead travels the day to get to the southernmost part of Camelot and barrels into town unopposed, as most of the troupes are where they had thought he would come from again. After all, minotaurs are not known to be big thinkers. Instead of violently destroying this time, however, the minotaur instead heads straight to lowertown's well-- and takes a pee in it. It turns out, not only does he have a giant-- ahem, but he is a giant dick as well. Now the entire lowertown has to be evacuated due to contaminated water up to other areas of Camelot. Many people who live there are relocated to live in extra castle rooms. After all, Minotaur Urine is known to be incredibly potent and stinky. Mages who are able to handle the smell are asked to come help perform a ritual of water purification for the lowertown's water system. This ritual involves multiple groups of people performing synchronic magic, a magic type that requires you to be in perfect sync with your partner. Draw a special ritual circle with four candles at equidistant points. Chant a spell in sync with your partner, and blow a special powder made of ground jasper, charcoal, and rosemary into the center of the circle. It will be drawn into the candles' flames and with enough people doing this, all impurities will be removed from the lowertown's water and dissipate into the atmosphere. KEY POINTS New arrivals drop into the lake and have to climb up a cliff to the Rent a Ride, where they are given their device and some headphones and can retrieve their personal materials. They travel to Camelot, which is a multiple day journey, so they stop at the Red Springs along the way and stay at an inn there. There is a vote pending for Camelot and each side of the issue is trying to engage otherworlders to their side of the vote. The slow/steady approach is hosting a cookie harvesting tournament from a grove of cookie trees, the middleground group is hosting a bug-catching contest, and the group that wants war is hosting a mining expedition. The mining expedition aggros an asshole of a minotaur, who throws rocks at Camelot. Driven away, the townspeople try to help by distributing a spell called "Buddy System" which binds two people together, not realizing it was intended for kindergarteners. (Oops.) The minotaur returns and pees in the lowertown's water, so a ritual of water purification must be performed because it's gross and stinky. The minotaur is still at large. **** The above key points are a new feature we're going to start including on TDMs and Events.

Sophia (Humanity's Companion) | Persona 5 Strikers | Light/Technomancy

[hopethatremains]

Arrival - Not the Metaverse

Sophia had never been submerged in water before. It was not a common thing in the Metaverse. She wanted to know what it was like, but as far as she could tell humans dressed properly for such things. Which her parka did not qualify for. She struggled a bit until she was pulled up to the surface on the back of a... thing. Giant pillow?

It was not a shadow, but it also did not seem to want to be friends. She looked around at her new surroundings briefly. Also making sure she had all of her hair, a sequence of floating hearts that did not seem to have been moved by her dip in the water. Then she struggled to hop her way to shore. Between her legs feeling different and her parka doubling in weight because this is not proper swimwear. Once on the shore, and after a little time poking at herself trying to ascertain why she wasn't as fast or as skilled as in the metaverse, she spots another person.

"Hello, I am Sophia. Humanity's Companion. I do not know where I am, do you know where I am?" Polite and direct, smiling very happily about all this in spite of what she just said. Not really bothered by- any of this even though she has a lot of questions.

Because she always has a lot of questions.

Arrival - The Red Spring (1)

Sophia had spent the ride from the lake drying off, and thinking about the state of herself. She wasn't in the metaverse. But she wasn't human. She was herself, but she also was not what she was. Pandora was not here, the proof of her heart. But she did not feel powerless. She didn't feel like a puppet.

Mostly she was worried about Ichinose. And the others. She hasn't been alone since- ever. Which meant it was good she was sharing a room. "Hello! You can take both beds if you like, I don't sleep."

Arrival - The Red Spring (2)

She wished she could find her friends. They would be able to tell her what to do, so she didn't do it wrong. But she wasn't going to miss the chance to do this either. Just because she was here alone. At least, she did not come here with anyone. They were communal springs after all.

"Hello, what is the proper etiquette and attire for the springs? And do you want to go with me?" She will ask this to basically anyone with zero concern for who they are. She is very excited to get into water again. But this time not in a heavy parka. Pay no attention to her floating hearts hair.

AOL - Video un:sophia137

[Sophia hums a little tune at the start of the video. Then it takes her a few seconds to figure out where the camera is to face it properly.]

Are cellular phones always this small from this side?

[Listen this is a very new experience for her!]

[ferrytale]

I do not understand this question. What do you mean 'from this side'? As opposed to what?

[hopethatremains]

The inside.

[ferrytale]

The inside? Of the phone?

[ is this a joke? maybe this is a joke. people do that here. he doesn't really get them. ]

Is that something you can do with magic?

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke is visibly startled at the familiar face, but even moreso at...]

Sophia! What do you mean, "this side"? Are you not within my phone?

[It does look an awful lot like she's holding a phone, but that can't be right, can it?]

[hopethatremains]

Oh, hello Yusuke! Why would I be in your phone?

[She looks confused by this, she's never been in his phone before. Why would she be in it now?]

No, I apparently have a body in this world. I fell in a lake! I now really understand what the word wet means.

[wantsnudes]

[He has no idea why she'd be in his phone and was about to ask her the same thing, but the ensuing explanation makes much more sense.]

That's wonderful! Ah, but not the part about falling into a lake. I hope you were unhurt?

not the metaverse

[fooligans]

[ Akira happens to be around, planning to check if a magical item he's made is working. What he didn't realize is that it's this time of the month where it starts raining new people. The things he wanted to do can wait, though. ]

It's nice to meet you, Sophia. [ It's a little odd to introduce oneself like that but Akira doesn't question it, not when she sounds somewhat serious about her role. ] This place is called the Isle of Avalon. Do you need help?

[hopethatremains]

[Sophia goes through a number of emotions in quick succession. She is at first elated that the boy she found is Joker. Then confused, because he isn't Joker. Why isn't he in his metaverse attire? She had a body, she wasn't in his phone. So this didn't make sense. And then it sank in, he doesn't know her.]

You- [She isn't quite sure how to process this, so she will stick to the other important things for now while looking very sad the entire time.]

Yes, I do not understand why I have a physical form when I am not in the metaverse.

[fooligans]

When you're in the what—

[ Did he hear that correctly? Akira is almost certain that the girl in front of him said metaverse. To put it mildly, that was quite unexpected. For a moment, he thinks that maybe she's a resident of the Velvet Room before he realizes that neither Caroline nor Justine or not even Lavenza had such an issue. ]

Were you there all alone? But the shadows...

[ His brain is overheating. Just what is going on in here? ]

The Red Spring (2) - Gosh Sophia's so adorable I can't even

[corpsewarblade]

[Since discovering her firearms now shot bees, Mukuro had spent a bit more time at the Red Springs trying to heal up from getting stung. Thank goodness for the water's healing properties.

She'd just been starting to undress when this strange girl with - wait how was her hair floating?? What?? - approached her.]

H-huh? Uh... it's a hot spring, you usually go in- you know. It's like a bath. You don't wear stuff in the bath.

... Guessing you've never been to a hot spring before, right?

[hopethatremains]

[Sophia shook her head. She wasn't allowed in the last hot spring because they did not allow phones in the public baths.]

Never, I've wanted to but I wasn't allowed to last time. I've also never been naked before.

[She bounces a little on her feet, this is very exciting. New experiences all around since she arrived here.]

[corpsewarblade]

Okay wait, hold on, you've never been naked before? How?

[She could understand never having been in a hot spring, but never having been naked? At all?]

...Did you like, lose your memory or something?

Not the Metaverse

[konpeito_aji]

"I am Oda Nobunaga," he bows -- barely. "Welcome to the isle of Avalon. We are trying to keep the worlds from being destroyed, you can speak more with Archimedes or go see the destruction at the World's Edge yourself. What does 'humanity's companion' mean?"

[hopethatremains]

"Destroyed!?" Well, she can't allow that. What sort of companion allows the place humans live be destroyed. This certainly cannot happen. So she will stop it. Or- assist in stopping it.

"It is something a friend gave me. I help people find the right path when they lose their way. Or make a path when one is not available."

hot springs 2

[fangirls]

Rise blinks at the sudden question. That's a pretty odd thing to ask a stranger, but it doesn't take more than one more quick review of the question and matching it with her odd appearance to figure out that there's something unusual about the girl. Still, she can't sense anything but earnest enthusiasm from her - the kind one might see in a little kid experiencing something new.

"Oh, have you never been to one before? It's so relaxing, you're going to love it! Let's see... I think there were some towels over here..." She waves her hand, gesturing for Sophia to follow as she rummages through a closet.

[hopethatremains]

"I wasn't allowed to go last time there was a hot spring available." The experience would not have had the same effect, being inside a phone. But- not important. "My friends did say it was relaxing, except for the violence."

Nobody quite explained why there was violence, the boys and girls were friends so she didn't understand why being in the hot spring at once might provide problems. "So the proper attire is a towel. Even if towels aren't proper clothing."

Red Spring (2) sophie i care you...

[songstressedout]

[ Yuzu liked the hot springs, so whenever she felt less... embarrassed about going in, she'd usually make time for a visit. Plus, around this time, people typically tend to arrive, right? Still, she certainly wasn't expecting a question like this... ]

O-Oh, um, well... it's a Hot Spring, so y-you don't usually wear anything at all... at most a towel.

[ ...maybe it's just because of where Yuzu is from, but Sophia's hair doesn't really provoke much more than a raise of her eyebrow. In any case, the thought of going in with someone has her face a little red, but... ]

I mean, sure...?

[ ...she's working on being less of a disaster, okay? ]

[hopethatremains]

"You look very tense, is something wrong?" Sophia was still learning to be the best companion possible. But it would be hard for her to miss that something was off about the other girl.

Of course, Sophia couldn't narrow down what was a problem. As she couldn't see her own nature as 'a problem.' Silly AI. Still, she found a towel and started taking off her various garments. Her heart-hair shifted from 'pigtails' to just a wave of tiny hearts floating behind her back, like it was down, as soon as she was out of the parka and thigh highs.

Not the Metaverse

[tantailizing]

Zidane's at the beach for personal reasons relating to the arrivals so he saw the arrival struggling to get out of the water due to their heavy coat. Either they're coming from some place cold or just like heavy jackets, but that was going to be hell waiting for it to dry out.

And he walks over to help out.

"Hey Sophia, I'm Zidane. This is the Bay of Avalon where everyone's landed so far."

'Humanity's Companion' huh? He'll circle back to that in a bit.

[hopethatremains]

"So this is the arrival point for this world? Understood." This meant that it was possible this was also the departure point to where she was from. Eventually. But given the fall she assumed it was too high to reach from here.

"Why is it over a lake?"

Arrival - The Red Spring (2)

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Outside of utilizing the hot spring for its healing properties, it's rather rare for Soundwave to be visiting just for the sole purpose of relaxing. Today is that rare day.

With a towel in hand, he was about to enter when a strange girl with... floating hair? approaches him with an odd question. His head tilts to the side. Asking a mech is probably not the right person for this. Soundwave definitely thinks it strange, but he's been to hot springs with humans before. He knows they aren't any proper attire....]

You don't. It's a bath, you undressed and get in. At most, you wear a towel to cover yourself...

[Which for any species is an obvious thing to do, he'd think. Granted it doesn't apply to Soundwave as he doesn't feel like removing his armor.]

[hopethatremains]

[There was no right person to ask, and from Sophia's perspective there was no reason not to ask the mech. He would be a valuable source of information from an outside perspective on human activities. She nodded and accepted nudity was correct. Which she will get used to actually taking off her clothes. Which is a new activity she's found she can do here.]

Are you already naked? I have only interacted with humans and a cat before, never anyone like you.
