[player plot] stopping Nightshade gang from kidnapping the Guild Leaders!

Operation Nightshade: OOC plotting!

Through his relentless quest to make himself feel useful, Katsura has successfully managed to discover a conspiracy by the Nightshade gang!

They have gotten their hands on some sort of a Seasonal Powers Temporary Nullification Weapon and plan to kidnap one (or a few) of the Guild Leaders and exchange them for The Doctor, who is still in police custody. They’ve been making their preparations under the cover of the Arts Festival, and plan to strike once it comes to a close on the 26th/27th and people are resting at home!

Katsura has informed the Leaders themselves earlier, and they’ve decided that pretending they don’t know about the upcoming attack would be a good way to draw Nightshade’s new weapon out so it can be neutralized, as it seems too dangerous to leave unchecked.

Before the end of the festival, he’ll be organizing a briefing of sorts for Otherworlders. As he doesn’t trust the network (or the police), ICly he’ll first be informing his trusted CR (who then will inform their CR, who then can inform their CR – meaning that as long as you play a somewhat trustworthy character, they can absolutely hear about this meeting through the grapevine! And if you think that’s unlikely, they could simply wander upon it – it’s hardly very secret and likely held in a random Arts Festival tent that hasn't been decomissioned yet or a cafe conference room nearby. Alternatively, they can simply join in once Nightshade starts wrecking havoc on the city, as anybody can notice that! TL;DR as long as you’re OOCly interested, you can take part, whether or not your character knows Katsura!)

There will be three main parts to the log:

The briefing, which is basically the mingle prompt. Katsura will explain the situation, share an annoying amount of plans and backup plans, request a headcount of characters with special abilities from home and/or volunteers for bodyguard duty (there’s an OOC sign up for this below!) and then excuse himself to go do his performance for the festival; characters are free to discuss the news among each other, share it with others who weren’t there, or enjoy the tea and discount crackers.

(The sign-up is not binding, but depending on whether all of the Leaders have at least one Otherworlder with them, they might be better or worse off by the end!)

The stopping of the attack, and making sure the leaders are safe. This is the big fight portion, which will include +- three different prompts for fighting against Nightshade and their Darkness corrupted creatures, protecting the Guild Leaders, and tracking down and destroying their weapon (this will ICly be considered to have been a group effort, but OOCly you don’t need to worry about others besides your thread partner(s)!)

The fighting will not be limited to the guilds; regular citizens will also be in danger of the roaming creatures, the power station workers might be apprehended by Nightshade while trying to see what happened to cause the partial blackouts, and so on. The teleport nodes between the guilds will also be working. So even if your character is going about their evening (or night), they can get pulled into this if you’d like! In fact, it is preferable that we have some characters not on Power Holder guard duty, as they will likely need to handle the bigger part of the city fights.

The aftermath. This will include a thanks from the Leaders, securing the remains of the Nightshade weapon for study, and cleaning up. This section might be slightly affected by the OOC interest gauged before the log is posted!

It will also include a rescue effort for Katsura, who’s been outed as the leak during the chaos and sentenced to be thrown through the Darkness barrier by the remainder of the Nightshade gang. (If you’re interested in helping him out, there’s another OOC sign up below! His castmates will be there either way so he will ultimately be freed, but he may be in a better or worse shape by the end, depending if anyone else is helping them hold off the cultists while the Gintamas work their magic.)

This post is mainly an interest check, but feel free to use this post to plot, and if you’d like to express your interest in Guild Leader bodyguard or wig rescue supporter duties, please sign up below!

You can also ask questions in regards to the Guild Leaders here and more general questions here.

TL;DR SUMMARY:

• ICly takes place on 27th April, starting at night! OOCly the log should also go up around the same time (I hope).

• Nightshade Gang will attempt to kidnap Guild Leaders with the help of a new weapon they have that temporarily nullifies Seasonal Powers

• Before the attack, Katsura will try to organize an extra security detail for the Guild Leaders comprised of Otherworlders (sign up here)! Characters do not NEED to have special abilities for this, though it would definitely be helpful.

• *This doesn’t “lock you in” for the whole duration of the plot, you don’t need to worry too much who is where when tagging around as the battle is dynamic and there are teleport nodes between the guilds. By mysterious convenience, no leader is ever left completely alone even if part of their security detail jumps over to help someone else!

• Annoyed by the resistance they’re running into, Nightshade will release Darkness touched/corrupted creatures into the city to cause more chaos and fighting on the streets. Characters not on Power Holder guard duty will likely need to take the larger part of these fights, so absolutely not everyone needs to sign up for those!

• Otherworlders will eventually discover and neutralize Nightshade’s weapon, solidifying their victory!

• The remaining Nightshade are mad about it and decide to take it out on their “traitor”. (That's Zura!) His friends will organize a rescue (sign up here).

• You can take part in the plot without signing up for either of those! It’s just there to help me gauge how well or how poorly certain parts might go for the final version of the log. ;)

• You don’t need previous CR with Katsura or Gintamas to take part!

• Ask questions about Guild Leaders and their involvement/reactions here, and other questions you may have here!

Arts Festival Plotting Post

Arts Festival 218
(that's 2026 for us players)

The Arts Festival is an annual tradition founded in Amberfall but currently held in the Titanic Dome on the last weekend in April (so the 24th-26th this year). It celebrates art of all kinds, with an artists' market that allows the sale of everything from paintings to potions to handmade weapons and armour, a stage for performing arts, a dance floor, and a talent show. But there are other elements to the festival too, like the popular fighting tournaments, some non-combat tournaments, and plenty of food stalls and festival games.

This year's Arts Festival is a team effort, being put together by Guizhong godofdust, the Music Club headed by Rinku roundandaround, the Pokémon Fan Club headed by Lisia contestidol, actors and tech crew assembled by Tsumugi tsumtsuki, and assorted volunteers! This is an OOC plotting post for its various events and things you may want your characters to do for it.

All of the tournaments have a base reward of:
3rd Place: 200 moon coins
2nd Place: 500 moon coins
1st place: 2000 moon coins & a mystery gift

Signups for all the tournaments ends Thursday, April 23, 23:59 Pacific Daylight Time. The results will be RNGed and be revealed on an OOC post once the festival log goes up.

Organizers | Stage Talents | Artist Alley

Tournaments:

Blade Cup (Physical with weapons)
Baby Hippogriff Cup (Seasonal abilities, beginners)
Seasons Cup (Seasonal abilities)
Dragon Cup (Seasonal abilities, including dragon blessed)
Ultima Cup (EVERYTHING GOES)
Lisia Cup (Pokémon Contest)
Jackalope Cup (animal transformation race)

so as stated here, on april 7th kokichi will be hosting a grand opening event for his casino with a surprise theme! and that surprise theme is murder mystery manor.

a "murder" occurs, the doors are locked so that the culprit (and party goers) can't escape, and an investigation takes place!

this is going to be a sort of mini murder game style thing where characters will get to investigate clues, interrogate suspects, and hopefully find the culprit who committed this dastardly deed! however it's not going to be as in depth as a true murder game murder simply because kokichi wants it to be short and fun. it'll be one log with top levels for the actual murder mystery part, while the main part of the log can be used for reactions, mingling, etc.

along with free food and drinks for the night, everyone who shows up gets 1000 moon coins as participation as well cut from the casino's profits, whether they go gamble or not, collectible on their way out the door, along with some silly souvenirs.

there are no sign ups involved as this is mainly just an ooc heads up as to what the "secret" theme and prizes are, and if you have any questions feel free to ask on this post!

Player Plot - Taking Down the Hearts Gang

2026-02-02T18:31:35Z

Posted by: nightplumes

Part interest check, part plotting!

Sylus is a crime lord where he comes from, the unchallenged leader of an entire district that serves as a hub for crime, illicit trade, experimental research, and is strictly off-limits to civilians. Since he arrived in Ellipsa he has been taking the measure of the Underground and crime gangs here and for the most part has found them wanting. He's unimpressed and hasn't found it difficult to make a name for himself with them and around the Casino and Underground Mall.

One of the four 'suits' gangs has caught his attention, however, in a way that the others haven't. He finds the operations of the Hearts gang to be something more than worthy of complete eradication (we don't approve of human experiments in this house) and has decided to finally make a move on doing something about that.

While this could be something he could probably accomplish by himself, that wouldn't be any fun. So I'm trying to open it up to other people being involved as much as possible.

Around the 7th of February Sylus will put up a network post declaring his intentions. This will be the 'in' for characters who want to come along to do anything from making a lot of noise to outright sabotage and combat, though Sylus will be reserving dealing with the head of the snake for himself. He does intend to just cut said head off (this means murder). I'm open to having him persuaded to not do a lot of murders but if anyone wants to try we'd probably have to talk it through as he definitely sees this as the easiest way to solve the problem.

Once the Hearts gang is dealt with their base will be open for examination and retrieval of any research/subjects they didn't dispose of on their way out. While they won't be utterly destroyed they will be greatly reduced in number and on the run, and won't be making any kind of comeback for a while.

Sylus himself won't be taking over the gang or any existing one, but after this is likely to be starting his own (name pending). I'd look to put a log up for the actual raid around the 9th, with an aim to have everything ICly resolved before the TDM goes up on the 13th.

TL;DR

• Sylus is going to take down the Hearts gang because they're awful and will be opening the floor for ~~cannon fodder~~ assistance.
• IC Network Post 06 Feb 26
• IC Log Post 09 Feb 26
• Hearts Gang will be severely reduced afterwards and their base will be open for rummaging.
• ???
• Profit, probably.

Hello~!

As we head into February, I wish to draw attention to the calendar! As you can see, instead of a regular EMP/ATP meme we have bimonthly, we're going to have a 4th wall EMP/ATP at the end of the month.

4th wall will happen in March where the event would normally be held. Normal mod announcements and such will still happen.

We hope to see a lot of visitors!

On another note, we will have a special NPC post at the start of this one, regarding the January Event and more. Please look forward to it.

+1 Big Angry Cultivator!

2026-01-18T23:42:40Z

Posted by: cursedsaber

Hi all!

This is Cat bringing in my second character to Seasons, Nie Mingjue from Mo Dao Zu Shi! He's pretty much the big powerhouse of the series, with anger management issues (he's gotten a little better now) and a profound love for all things righteous and just. He is a leader in his specific cultivation sect and attained that position far too early in life due to his parents' passing when he was young. He was suddenly thrown into a world of political tension, leadership, and parenting his younger brother much faster than most because of it.

He is not a main character in the series, but he does play a significant role in the mystery of the story, so if you don't wish to be spoiled, just let me know here or on his permissions page on his blog, and I'll make sure to abide! You can also contact me at any time on chohakkaifan!

He is also a CRAU from more ~~ahem~~ adult games (Reparacija & Golden Peacock) but thankfully save for him learning to cool his shit a little and developing some deep emotional relationships in the process he isn't too different from the book and won't be blatantly dealing with 18+ matters as much here unless someone wishes to~

I look forward to throwing him at all y'all!

A belated introduction.

2025-12-31T15:05:40Z

Posted by: true_conquest

Good morning,

On this Eve of a new year I come to you realizing a grave error I made. I never properly introduced myself. But now I have brought an additional pair of characters to the game, so I figure as the old year is rung out I would begin anew with a proper introduction.

I'm Ven, and I am afraid that I don't have a singular place I can lay claim to. I travel often for work, so I’m often bouncing from place to place—but no matter where I am, I always make time for stories. I love RP, writing both prose and poetry, and fantasy, especially anything steeped in grand fantasy and heroic adventures. There’s something about shared worlds, meaningful characters, and big, mythic moments that keeps me grounded, even when I’m on the move.

I joined this magnificent game some months ago with Maes Hughes from Full Metal Alchemist who is Autumn, but am now adding Ekko from Arcane who will be spring and Rider (Iskandar) from Fate/Zero who falls under Summer's domain. I look forward to having all three of them around a bit more often, as well as continue to engage through discord a bit more frequently as well. But I do have plurk as well, so if you would like to follow the ramblings of an outdated eclectic scrivener please join me at im_probable.

Jean is planning an ~expedition~ for January. Most likely at the very start of the year (during the second week, perhaps). It's definitely sponsored by Odyssey, but he's taking with him anyone who is interested.

OOCly, I'm limiting this to 12 characters (one per player), a nice even number if they break into teams. Let me know if you would like to keep going at a post like this or make a group on Discord.

The place we're headed for is Sunsprout City in the Summer Segment.

Image under the details cut

I have an form for anyone participating in the exploration to fill, that we usually do. This is very important, so please remember to fill it.

Currently the confirmed list of people going
Jean (Summer)
Levi (Winter)
Eren (Summer)
Hijikata (Summer)
Mukuro (Autumn)
Shoto (Winter)
Aventurine (Winter)
Rumi (Summer)
Megumi (Summer)

A Change to Character Businesses page!

2025-11-20T13:01:54Z

Posted by: seasonsmods

This is quick heads up that we have made a change to the Character Businesses page.

You can now make non-profit businesses without needing a business permit from rewards. As long as the business your character runs doesn't earn them any money, they can make it happen without permits (such as the Welcome Center).

If you have made a non-profit business with the business permit before, you are now free to use that business permit on something else or gift it to another player/character.

Both normal and non-profit businesses can now be listed on the page, in separate categories.

Hey all. This is Alsie (again; even though I just joined with Wei Wuxian), bringing in Zero Kiryuu from Vampire Knight: Memories. He's a vampire hunting vampire, pretty chill, has hobbies that include eating and sleeping, and loves his family beyond all else. I similarly had him here years ago, but he won't remember anything.

See here for his app and a brief personality rundown, and here for more info! ♥ o7
