Here's a centralized post for plotting out for the event!

Here's a breakdown summary of every prompt on the event;

Bikinis - Characters who didn't have swimwear will be provided it, but they probably are gonna be on the skimpy/tacky side. Play out the embarrassment, or total lack of shame.

Shuten Clan - Shuten activities revolve around volleyball, surfing, shoulder chicken, barbeque, and drinking contests

Tamamo Clan - Tamamo activities involve a wet t-shirt contest, tiki bar, and water gun fights.

Sutoku Alliance - Sutoku activities involve frisbee games, jet skis, and underwater shenanigans

Department of the Enma - Department officers are expected to take short shifts on lifeguard duty, but in exchange get free food and drinks!

Bonfire - A free-for-all happy hour to get out the last of one's revelries before the shit hits the fan..

Cursed City - This is the big one. The containment facility the haniwa were being stored in was compromised, releasing a massive wave of cursed energy into the city all at once from Kaigo no Bou. Captain Shiki is trying to maintain order, but chaos is breaking out everywhere. Faction leaders will do what they can to protect their people, as well.

The curse energy turns Jigokucho into more of an actual hell. Blood rain, massive hauntings, frenzy inducing energy all around. Nightmares from characters own canons can and will manifest, pulled right from their worst fears and dreads.

This will be in effect for the month until a) players manage to find a solution on their own or b) a mod written ending comes about, but either way, you're free to play with this setting change all month.

We do not plan for it to last longer than this month.

Character Name: Aerith Gainsborough!
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (Remake continuity)
Faction: Tamamo Clan
Brief Rundown:

Per my permissions post for Aerith: Straight-forward and rebellious, Aerith wears her mischievousness like a badge of honor. She's a spunky young woman and shrewd business woman, having spent a great deal of time selling flowers— As a naturally adaptable person, she's surprisingly street smart even though she definitely comes off as being very quirky. Aerith is sweet, kind, flirtatious and snarky; she's got a biting sense of humor that probably feels a bit pointed with how perceptive to others she is.

For this event, I would really like for Aerith to play as many games as possible with people! She has spent a large chunk of her life feeling isolated and lonely, and struggled to keep long standing friendships going. Remake also shows that Aerith has been forgotten at least once during a game of hide and seek, and with Six gone, she'll be struggling a lot more than she shows with that loneliness.

Also: I really would love for her to start working on her reputation in game. I'd love for someone to bring up starting up her floristry business again: it's come up in game before, but she could always use a little more nudging.

Initial Ideas:

🎀 Bikinis? Bikinis. Aerith is attending in full vintage swim regalia, trying to look her best for the event. You are free to look but she has a staff that can cause concussions. On a more sincere note, I would love for her to gas up some friends, and play flirty with pre-existing CR for this. She needs something light after getting her heart broken ...(*￣０￣)ノ
🎀 Volleyball. Who wants to play? She's going to be Cloud's loudest cheerleader, at least, if not out there with him whenever she can.
🎀 W...Wet T-shirt contest....well, someone has to do it.
🎀 Hallucinations! I would love to play with this abstractly. Since Aerith struggles with abandonment, isolation and refusing to actually deal with her feelings, I would love for her to experience symptoms like Hallucinating she's alone and cannot perceive anyone near her, or being "trapped" where people can't get to her, as if she's been spirited away. If you had CR with Aerith prior to this event, I am super open to having her hallucinate being stuck back in her room at Shinra. This is where you can unlock the knowledge she's the last of the Cetra, as well as her tragic backstory involving watching her mother be experimented on while she grew up in a lab.
🎀 Aerith will be working on a medicine with Emily and Shylock to help with the hallucinations. If/When they're successful, she'll be letting anyone and everyone know and scrambling.
🎀 In the mean time: Pray shakily works. I would love to have it fail in some threads, or work for a period of time in others. At the very least, she's directly ignoring orders and is going to be doing her best to try and use Pray to lead people to safety back in their clan's territories. Sorry, Tenkohime, it's for the good of Jigoku as a whole...!!
🎀 Finally: Whatever Cloud does involving Ground Zero, Aerith will be there! Let's all support Cloud Strife together ✨

🎀 Otherwise, please come at me. I'll be tagging out as much as I can with this even, and would love for Aerith to make new friends and new bonds. Last month, things get really hard and hectic irl, so if I missed you last month, know I would love to pick anything back up and go from there!

Anything else:

[watermemory]

HELLO.... considering Minakami here is partnering up with Tamamori to investigate the horrible hellbloodrain and it seems like they're gonna collide with Cloud and Aerith's efforts, I wanted to touch base here.

besides the investigation I would be down for them having some kind of CR even if it's working around the tamamo/shu conflict. Mina's in a similar boat in a bunch of ways, wrt growing up lonely (he has two friends and... that's it, and it all got toxic and taken-for-granted over the years), and he's recently found out he could be a target of a military experiment on the supernatural. Not the same as the shinra sitch, but close enough to rhyme.

[everblooms]

aerith has pretty much decided that anyone she likes on shuten is only for gently making fun of as opposed to ass beatings, so tbh! working around the conflict has been her Thing lmao. i definitely would love to do something with mina, though, i've kept an eye on him and cloud. they've been so funny together huge huge fan over here...

cant believe that minakami and tamamori are gay clerith, and clerith are straight minamori... ╮(╯▽╰)╭

[watermemory]

tbh teasing is more lethal to him than getting beaten up, anyway. (that is demonstrably not true given his canon is about getting him to not be murdered but shhh)

DGfdg HE'S SO SORRY HE NEARLY GASLIT CLOUD THAT ONE TIME.............. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

[everblooms]

if its any consolation gaslit gatekeep girlboss is actually aerith's MO and she does the same to him....lmfao

AH...NOTED.... sorry in advance if she kills him 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

[mahoraga]

megumi needs to fill the kindly big sister gap in his heart given what happened to his big sis in canon

he is going to like aerith a LOT i know it

sadly, he will be wallflowering at the beach under an umbrella (not even in swim trunks ...horrendous), but he has two cute doggies if she likes animals

otherwise, he can help her out if she starts to hallucinate being alone? he can honestly relate to that a lot with his history

[everblooms]

i actually would be down to do both of these things if you like! aerith does well with wallflowers because if they catch her interest she just. does not stop talking, and if she meets someone she will definitely touch base with them, at the very least, during the chaos! gimmie the boy!!!

[mahoraga]

i cannot say no to both. maybe the sol beach stuff can be timed first so they know each other, and they can run into each other again when the curses start. fast track to getting to know aerith lol

he will be wallflowering heavily (chilling under the umbrella judging ppl like an auntie), but the doggies can catch her interest maybe. he can also be convinced to do things because she looks like someone he'd have trouble saying no to

i am excited let's!!!

[fullgauntlet]

I'm here for more!! Hallucination stuff seems really good, Izuku would feel so compelled to help her anyway he could. Or maybe helping Aerith with the medicine somehow?

[everblooms]

hallucinations sound great to me, how do you feel about izuki punching a spectre or ten in the face?

re: medicine, i actually would be happy to try and work izuku in there (and anyone else if i can), i can hit up the rest of the healer trio and see what they'd like help with, but i know we were planning to have medicine and incense made— just spitballin' here but if you'd like izuku to test meds for them, i can imagine that'd be viable and maybe coming with them to get raw materials for the incense (if they do go) to play muscle jic? 🤔 lmk what you think or if you have something specific in mind, i would love 2 make it happen for you!

[fullgauntlet]

Omg yes please let him try to punch a whole spectre in the face

Izuku would be onto being a test subject as well if it helps them figure out a solution! Izuku is more than willing to hero his way into protecting them on a materials run as well I'm into this please!

[everblooms]

i have spoken to divorced milf healer brigade... here is an idea, and i would be happy to set up a closed starter for you in this case!

would you be up for izuku doing some medicine delivery? we figure this way you can also have some extra ideas for threads so he can delivery medicine to cr and anyone else you'd like him to do. he could run into aerith, play hero, and then she can ask him about helping them out? 🦌🌠

[fullgauntlet]

divorced milf healer brigade dkfjghdfjkghdkfg

I'm DOWN WITH THIS IDEA That's perfect! I can work a prompt into my top level for some deliveries as well! Thank you! Let's do that!

[dehallow]

/touches the possibility of unlocking Aerith backstory...

Aerith has done so much for van Zieks already, let him repay the favor by trying to help her out of a nightmare scenario!!

[everblooms]

ABSOLUTELY he can find out she's literally a holy person finally and that she's adopted etc etc... anything your heart desires, luna. i still haven't finish gaa2 but tbh if you would love to have a mutual exchange of backstory i would be Ultra Down. shh. i already got spoiled LOL

[dehallow]

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW, there are so many Layers to the situation in GAA2 that I may still be able to avoid some spoilers by focusing on those elements!!

But I would also absolutely love an exchange of backstory, LET THEM GET CLOSER!! The holy person stuff would probably be interesting to hear about because the discourse surrounding the idea of holiness and curses etc is such a huge part of the way Barok's life is framed in canon!!

[everblooms]

i'm late but i'm here.... i'm here. i know i THINK most of the big stuff (asogi related things as well) but i think the most major thing is who iris is!

i'd be down for any of this... maybe he could find her in her church? it's abandoned and would tie into some stuff with her mother, late family are something that they'd have in common lmao

if you have any prefs lmk... i would love the angle of him finding out about her childhood in general, so however you wanna handle that i would love to set it up 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

[worldbent]

Purification magic! Matoba, when he's not getting eaten by his own curse, is going to be trying to ward as many spaces as he can during the disaster; maybe they can cross paths attracted by each other's magic? He will be interested in the viability of combining her Pray magic with his wards in order to extend the purification effect and possibly help out contributing to a solution to sealing away the malice?

(He's a dick, but he does take his job very seriously.)

He uh... might be overdoing it a little and need a bit of a heal himself too, tbh.

[everblooms]

i actually really wanted to hit you up for this exact thing! aerith wouldn't be afraid of his shiki either, actually. BUT i would love for them to see if it's possible to work together to at least imbue his wards with more healing magic to get something a little stronger working.

but aerith will be there to help in any way he needs ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪ in general, i definitely want them to meet! actually let me hit up your permissions...

[worldbent]

Yes! Since Shinto magic and Cetra magic are both sort of.... nature-based in a way, lol, I feel like they would be pretty compatible! I'm picturing something to the effect of his wards acting like her Arcane Ward, where it can extend/strengthen the range of her Pray magic?

Honestly I feel like they would get along in a weird way, once things calm down; they're both gremlin children at heart LOL

[everblooms]

tbh with you you might be onto something... shintoism at the very least probably what inspired cetra's tied to the planet. we could ask about that for sure; would you like to do it or is it more convenient for me to do it for you?

TBH PROBABLY... aerith is pretty chill but! the scene where she pranks cloud will always play in my head LOL

[aceslow]

Hello!! We touched base briefly on plurk, but I would ofc love some more Aerith in my inbox. I'm down for unlocking more of Aerith's backstory since Kim already has bits and pieces of it, but if you're full up on that, I know Kim will really appreciate the holy help from Pray while he's busy wigging out.

[everblooms]

i miss kim in my inbox, fey, i am so sorry but very excited... definitely would love to have him dragged into aerith's old bedroom for some exposition if that's what you're feeling— we could easily work pray in, too! would you prefer i write you a starter or?

[aceslow]

Yes, that sounds great!! Maybe we can go for the old bedroom stuff first and pray can happen once they're trying to find their equilibrium afterwards? If we go the route of pray first, bedroom stuff after, I'll write it, and if we do the bedroom stuff first, then I'll leave that one up to you!

(Never before have I written "bedroom stuff" so many times in a row in such a platonic way)

[everblooms]

i thiiink what i am going to do is having aerith break away from healer brigade for a little bit to check on him over at 7/11 and attempt to help but make it worse, in fact, if that sounds okay with you! ...(*￣０￣)ノ she would def go try to help him anyway, supplies are arguably the most important part here!!
