The Fairy Queen sends out an invitation for all otherworlders to an eccentric party with ulterior motives that aren't necessarily bad.. after all, they're protecting players from a ritualistic curse cast by escaped convicts from the Elphame prison. But that doesn't mean it's the party's entirely safe either.

CONTENT WARNINGS:

• 1st Prompt: Mild elements of body horror in the fairy queen's description (paragraph starting with "Opening the message"); this paragraph is description only and may be skipped without loss of content.
• 2nd Prompt: Ball prompts include reference to drugs, alcohol, smooching, and fake murder.
  
• 3rd Prompt: May have potential for mild body horror depending on player preference, as it features cynanthropy/lycanthropy.

The night before the full moon, a message is sent out to all the otherworlders in the land. In each person's inbox, the message sender reads simply "ELPHAME" and appears to have a verified account, despite that looking into it doesn't seem to reveal much content. The profile pic is simply a picture of a mushroom. Opening the message will reveal a video recording. For the first full minute, a woman simply stares into the video through one pure white eye and one wholly black eye. Her hair is white and fair and longer than can be seen in the video of her torso. Her skin is sallow, gray more than any other color, and her décolleté is peppered with what seems to be shells of mushrooms growing out of her flesh like they would on a tree, patches of bleeding tooth mushroom creeping down the side of her neck.
Atop her head, a headpiece made of platinum formed into the tiniest branches, filled with leaves of precious stones- diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and moldavite trailing down in long chains that keep her hair out of her face. Her lips are just slightly parted, painted in what seems to be an enchanted design that shifts patterns as she moves, as if they were a green screened galaxy in real life. There is a stud in the bow of her lips, and the top of her clothing appears to be colorful, but is only visible toward the top of her frame, as her top is low-cut to account for the fungi. A number of small stitched scars are visible, but largely healed. She tilts her head slightly. Even though it's only a video recording, it feels as though she is looking directly at your character. "You are busy bees..." A soft voice speaks, almost as if the wind itself is whispering in your ear and not from a recorded video. "Busy bees could barely bother, but bother is basically all you do. I bequeath you busy bees a bidding. Bother blithely, busy bees, in Elphame as bristling beauties are bound to do. A ball before you, beneath the Wolf's Moon big and bright, betwixt burgeoning fae blooms. Do not baa, do not bray, bruin nor boar will keep big bad wolf at bay. Bop and bounce, ballet you may, or brawl your basest behaviors in my ballroom before break of day. Broadcast not your boorish bumf, though, or busy bees will be broken brisker than bats banished from Beelzebub's borders and bound. Bless my bestowal and with bated breath I shall bade you betokened truth, if truth be told." Whether or not your character understood what was actually said or their brain shut down in the middle of those barely benign instructions, they may additionally notice fairy circles made of tiny mushrooms start to crop up regardless of where they are in Avalon.
	Once night falls, if a character dances in them they will be transported to a costume party within the ballroom of the fairy queen in Nicnevin. Costumes will be magically applied upon arrival, based on a favorite childhood fantasy. (Did they want to be an astronaut? A dinosaur? A cowboy? A cat? That's what they'll appear as.) You can choose from any age of childhood for your character, depending on whether you want to go funny or more serious about their later childhood dreams. Whatever your character chooses to do as part of the party, the following party happenings should be noted:
1. If your character or anyone they know uses your character's name or reveals enough information about themself, they will become unable to disobey the fairy queen in future events. They've technically been warned about this in the fairy queen's message, even if it wasn't easy to understand. B. Alternately, you can have your character's name be captured by a more mischievous party guest fae and play with that as you will. You can be released either by someone else killing your captured fae for you, or the fae saying your name backward. So if your character's name is Stevie, they would have to trick the fairy into saying Eivets. This option to NPC your own fae captor is endable on your own terms, but 1a will be on the fae queen's terms down the line. 2. The party itself is a protected area; refusal to attend or leaving the party before sunrise will subject characters to the Wolf's Moon, which has been put under a ritual by a prisoner group released from the fae prison during the previous dark web quest, Banyanished. This ball is being held as a gift to otherworlders to protect them from the second part of this event. (See below for details.) Characters will be told that they are in a protective area if they try to leave and to trust the fairy queen, but will not be forced to stay against their will by the fae. The only people who may try to stop your character from leaving beyond telling them this information are other player characters. 3. Dancing, food (fairy food*), psychedelics and drink will be provided to those of age who want them throughout the night. If the partygoers don't seem to be having a good time or the party grows dull, the fairy queen (dressed in the award-winning submission to the Elphame Trader's contest some time ago) will make a demand participation in a party game. If your character is standing around and not participating in the general activities, they may be coerced to participate. Anyone may join willingly as well, of course. The following party games will be played throughout the night:

Spin the Bottle, Elphame Rules: Fairies are quite randy creatures at times, and the first game played is none other than spin the bottle. The rules are as such: when it is your turn, you are blinded by fairy magic and must spin the bottle. Once the bottle stops spinning, the person the bottle lands on will kiss them. The person who is kissed must guess who from the circle kissed them; a correct guess will mean they stay in and the blindness spell will be lifted. An incorrect guess will eject them from the circle and they will wander around blind for the duration of the game until a winner is declared. Feel free to play out gameplay or your character needing assistance after being ejected from the game circle.

---

Truth or Dare: The standard game of truth or dare. Don't forget to be very careful, as certain truths may have dire consequences. (See point 1, be very careful.) You can play issuing and completing dares or asking and answering truths with other player characters or receive dares from NPC'd fairies, which may escalate to dangerous and magical lengths. The only solid rule is that no dares are permitted to require exiting the party to complete, and lying during a truth gives permission to fairies to steal your tongue from you if they discover your lie at any point, even after the party is over.

---

Balloon Game: Everyone loves a good murder game! Everyone is outfitted with a single balloon. You may secure the balloon to yourself for 2 minutes before the start of the game. In the center of the game circle is a pile of close-range weapons varying in usefulness from binoculars and pots to knives, slingshots, axes and more. Magic is also permitted. If your balloon "pops" you are "dead" and will float to the ceiling to fly around until the end of the game, out of harm's way. Do not commit any actual murder or the balloon of the deceased will immediately wrap around you in a full rubber bodysuit and imprison you until the fairy queen can deal judgment. (If this happens, notify a mod so we can discuss Queen Elphame's judgment with you OOC.)

Helping to empower otherworlders to improve their chances of saving the world is the kind of task that can be a little.. subjective. A little questionable when it comes to consent, at times. After all, no one is here with their consent and no one was bonded with their familiar or given magic with their consent. What's a little more empowerment? Certainly, a group of imprisoned lycanthrope wizards seem to think they have something of a solution to increasing other worlders' potentials: a ritual using the Wolf Moon of January's full moon cycle to transform unprotected otherworlders into fellow cynanthropes or, in layman's terms, werewolves and other types of weredogs. Anyone not protected (at the party) will be affected by the curse ritual.
Cynanthropes in Avalon have the following characteristics: Character is now able to transform into a humanoid dog or wolf form to the extent the player chooses (go ears/tail or full-furry) Experiences enhanced strength, enhanced sense of smell, night vision, blood lust, and characteristics similar to the character's dog or wolf breed. These effects are only applicable the day before, the day of, and the day after the full moon from sundown to sunrise on each day. Note that new weredogs/wolves do not have control over their instincts for the first few months of transformations and will behave aggressively. If in an emotional state, they can lose control of their transformed form regardless of how long they have been cursed. Though characters can be killed by normal means throughout the month, they can only be killed by silver bullets during the 3-day full moon cycle Full-time side effects include cravings for meat, animal mages having mild influence over them, being able to eat food from Elphame without being bound to the land, and the occasional hair ball. It is up to players how painful they want the transformation to be/not to be; you can play this how you want and chalk it up to ritual reaction variation. Cynanthrope ritual curses are particularly strong and require at least two siphoners working together to break the curse, a counter-curse potion (only available through events), or a deal with a powerful being such as the fairy queen or Morganna. If your character did not attend the party, left the fairy queen's party, or wasn't at the Red Springs (protected by the mysterious crystals that turn it red during the full moon-- conveniently for your excuse not to participate in either prompt if you want to opt out!) they will become a werewolf or weredog.

OOC Notes: If the fairy queen's words are hard to parse because of the alliteration and odd word choices, here's a translation: "You've all been keeping busy. You could fuck off and sit on your ass and let other people do the hard parts, but you clearly care a lot. I offer you an invitation to a ball. Once the full moon (Wolf's Moon) rises, go find the fairy circles that pop up. Don't complain, but come and dance or fight within the fairy circles before sunrise. Don't share any personal info with others you see at the ball or you'll find yourself fucked over fast as a bat out of hell. Follow my invitation and I'll tell you some sign of the truth of current ongoings." If you want to have the fairy queen have your character's name, please comment here for our reference. She will offer these characters means to repay their "contract" down the line as needed (per OOC discussion). Yes, animal mages can talk to cynanthropes in their transformed state. There will be a future quest available for countercurse potions if you do not want this effect to last long-term. Which does mean that you can choose to keep your character a weredoggo should you choose.

Questions

[avalonmods]

[phoenixwiz]

Aside from the names, can the otherworlders make up other personal details to tell to other partygoers during the party unless they participate in the truth and dare game (like age, job, friends from home, etc.) or will they just don’t say anything at all?

[candyapplechild]

If a character were to somehow leave the party on accident and turn into a Werewolf that way, would they be able to come back inside?

[morns]

Sooo how many ways can siphoning the curse go wrong. (': For fun and shenanigans ofc.

[prontissimo]

Can you give some more specific examples of what sort of information would be revealing too much, apart from a character's name? Strictly name, age, where they're from, or what...? How does this affect playing the Truth part of Truth or Dare games?

[hitokiri]

just double checking: are there any magical side effects if someone gets bitten by a werewolf/dog? or is your worst problem the fact that you just got bit by a monster doggo in general lol

[mithrarin]

Sooo if a character never had a childhood, how does the costume magic work with them?

(is it like zoidberg's new shell)

Submit to Queen Elphame

[avalonmods]

[saxsongs]

Ren has avoided saying his name, but not other things about himself along the way so... whoops.

[saxsongs]

Player: Shiranna
Contact: sasageyo

Character: Archer (EMIYA) & unknowntodeath
Familiar: Unnamed Phoenix
Magic Disciplines: Cognitive & Blood
Event Plans: Archer will be affected by the Wolf Moon and turning into a cynanthrope - namely a wolf. My plans is to have him suffer from it for at least a month or two before getting rid of it with curse removal somehow. We'll see how things go.

Character: Elsa & readytolearn
Familiar: Unnamed Snowgie
Magic Disciplines: Kinetic & Elemental
Event Plans: Most part of Elsa's life she just wanted to be "normal" as her childhood dream (especially after she was isolated from Anna), so she will likely be dressed up as fairly normal - probablt close to what Anna usually wears, to be honest. Nothing related to magic. I'm still contemplating if she's accidentally told her name and submitted to Queen Elphame, but otherwise she's willing to try Truth or Dare... which could also lead to that.

Character: Jean Kirstein & rustyhonesty
Familiar: Mythological Lynx named Rafael
Magic Disciplines: Animal & Healing
Event Plans: Jean's childhood dream was to live in the safety of the walls, which to him is royalty. So his outfit will be a prince. He will likely take part in the Balloon Game. I want to see him float around in the ceiling for part of the night :D But also maybe take out a few balloons before that. Jean also owns a countercurse potion that he's willing to give a friend in need and he's an animal mage so he can try to help with wolves and doges.

Character: Mamoru Chiba & reincarnatedprince
Familiar: Unnamed Skvader
Magic Disciplines: Light & Green
Event Plans: Mamoru's childhood dream was to be a doctor so a doctor he will be dressed up as. With a stethoscope and everything - and his reading glassess on because they fit the doctor image well. Otherwise, he'll likely mostly socialize throught the party.

Character: Ren Jinguji & saxsongs
Familiar: Fox Fairy named Princess
Magic Disciplines: Healing & Kinetic
Event Plans: While Ren has been careful not to say his name, he has told other things about himself to curious fae ladies... he weak. His childhood dream was pretty much to be like his mother... which was an idol. So he's just going to be in one of his idol outfits. He will likely participate in Spin the Bottle, at least, most likely ending up blind around the party at some point.

[illusionaryskirt]

Does Elysa want to wallflower with Chrome? They can find a good spot and keep the surface warm?! Though Chrome can maybe speak with her at the party since she'll be in attendance.

Chrome can even chat up with Ren or Mamoru too!

Mari

[phoenixwiz]

Player: Mari
Contact: mariscorner, Mariposa21 #4257

Character: Harry Potter & phoenixwiz
Familiar: Rose the pink Pygmy Puff
Magic Disciplines: Kinetic / Elemental
Event Plans: Harry is definitely going to attend the ball (he did managed to get the meaning behind Elphame’s alliterative message, thanks to solving riddles in the past) to avoid the ‘Oh crap, now I know how Remus felt being a werewolf’ feeling and the werewolf curse and he gets a soldier outfit based on the toy soldiers he used to play with in the films as it does line up with his wish to protect the people he cares for and loves dearly. He will try to ask you guys call him James (which is his dad’s name and a part of of his full name, but he ain’t telling you that) during the ball because fae etiquette still applies here unless it is truth or dare, which he is gonna skip out on.

He will get dragged into playing spin the bottle (and he can either win or be stuck with a blindness spell until the winner is announced, I can do both) and the balloon game and he will so going to mess around with magic and poking balloons with pointy knives. Or he can hang out floating around the ceiling until the game is over. Just no killing the Master of Death please. Also he might get unwittingly tipsy during this event, so watch out.

Other Notes: Just look at little bitty Harry, look at him, look at him!!!:

Melissa | Della Duck + Maribelle + Asterios

[troubadamsel]

Player: Melissa
Contact: melcat33 (plurk), melcat33#1997 (discord)

Character: Della Duck & sos_pilot
Familiar: Moon Rabbit
Magic Disciplines: Kinetic/Dark
Event Plans:
Della will be dressed up as her childhood (and adult) hero, Uncle Scrooge She will be incredibly amused to be dressed like her old man. She might be tempted to Spin The Bottle, mostly curious what human lips feel like, and will get overly eager into the Balloon Game.

Character: Maribelle & trobadamsel
Familiar: Caladrius
Magic Disciplines: Light/Healing
Event Plans:
Maribelle has never really wanted to be anything but herself, because she's amazing, but she has idolized the former Exalt of Ylisse - as such, she'll be dressed as Lady Emmeryn, much to her embarrassment. She really doesn't like the sound of any the games, so you will have to pretty much drag her there.

Character: Asterios & beefaroni
Familiar: Camahueto.
Magic Disciplines: Green/Animal
Event Plans:
Asterios isn't a party dude, so he won't be attending... as such. WOLF TIME.

Unfortunately, he's not going to handle this well at first - he won't understand what's happening to him, and being kind of insane already (He IS a berserker), will lead him to go on a rampage. He's already SUPER STRONG, so add in the wolf stuff, and... yeah. Things will be damaged, people could get hurt, so he will need to be captured and calmed down. I'm allowing you to hurt him as much as you please if you feel the need!

[tantailizing]

Berry no.

Alex

[resistetmords]

Player: Alex
Contact: PM, discord: billbill#6387, plurk: Pluto-Kun

Character: Beowulf beewulf
Familiar: Hulder
Magic Disciplines: Siphon/Healing
Event Plans: Beo-san is absolutely not one to ignore the fairy queen's words and is probably insane enough to figure out the meaning behind them. Anyway, he's gonna go to the party, half-because he gonna be listening to the magical fairy woman, and half-because his familiar is also a magical fairy woman and will want to go.

Also, he has siphon magic (points super hard at his magical abilities). So I'm super down for having him help save someone's butt again.
Other notes: I am somewhat interested in the queen getting hold of his name somehow and him having to do a bit of simping for her or whatever. Idk we need a Medb or Nightingale here.


Found here

Character: Belgium resistetmords
Familiar: Lion!
Magic Disciplines: Alchemy/Green
Event Plans: I'm not sure! On one hand she probably would have just gotten back from the whole orc thing and her makeshift after party... drunk and hungover! So going to another is kind of... yuck. Shes also going to still be a little banged up from the whole knight quest.... Also, wolf!Belgium could be really fun! At the same time, I also kind of want her to help out others being afflicted by said curse?

So, I might have her attend the party at first then kind of wander off? Or maybe just have her visit the springs for some r&r. Not sure and will probably play it by the ear if anyone else has any suggestions or are interested in anything specific~! I'm basically open to everything and anything!
Other Notes: Let's get cute! Basically, her initial reaction to all of this.



Character: USS Cleveland (CL-55) clevebro
Familiar: German Shepherd
Magic Disciplines: Light/Death
Event Plans: Cleve just arrived and has no idea what in the heck is going on here! So she'll be attending the party because why not. It sounds like fun and as if something big is going to happen! Expect her to be trying all the things while doing her best to make friends! I'm not sure about the whole werewolf bit, it could be fun doing something with that. But again, she only just arrived so I'm not entirely certain what direction I'd like her to go down completely as of yet.

[cantgetanyworse]

Player: Fiona
Contact: PM, hardtostarboard or hardtostarboard#7737

✵ Jane Porter

[cantgetanyworse]

Character: Jane Porter & cantgetanyworse
Familiar: Fischer's Lovebird
Magic Disciplines: Healing / Dark

Event Plans:
🎨 Jane will be attending the party because she loves parties and a chance to find out more about the Fae is one she won't pass up. However she won't be using her real name or giving out information about herself (if she can help it).
🎨 Her childhood dream was exactly what she grew up to be, so she'll end up wearing something like this.
🎨 She will try to stop people from leaving if they try, but won't be able to be very forceful about it.
🎨 When it comes to party games, she'll be curious about spin the bottle after hearing about it from Lorenz... after all it's just harmless fun right.
🎨 Honestly she's just there to have a good time.

[mayoninofukucho]

Player: Schmittchen
Contact: This journal or schmoechen#2732 on Discord!

Character: Toshirou Hijikata (mayoninofukucho)
Familiar: Crow Tengu (Arashi)
Magic Disciplines: Elemental & Death

Event Plans: This event is exciting!! I'll definitely participate! Hijikata will struggle to parse the Brivate Bessage, and once he's gotten the gist he'll have a bad gut feeling and warn anyone who asks against going (all the more once it becomes clear that the way to get to the ball is through fairy circles, which he heard are bad news). The party games are terribly tempting, but unless someone in his CR circle outright asks him to Have a Ball with them (and be it only to ensure that it's not a trap for the innocent attendants) he may just sit that whole segment out and instead keep an eye on Camelot.

Howl You Doin'? will hit him like a truck. He's a Prismatica CRAU; I can't not do this to him (on Prismatica outworlders also went through transformations each month)! I'm just waffling between making him a wolf (the historical Shinsengumi used to be called "Wolves of Mibu") or a dog (in Gintama they're more frequently called "dogs of the shogunate"). He actually has a counter-curse potion in his inventory (he gifted his own to Somnus, but was given a new one from Mukuro), however he'd be willing to give it to somebody who's really suffering from the affliction! After all he's already kind of used to getting stronger, more aggressive and bloodthirsty for a few days each month (for anyone familiar with Prismatica, he was a Sanguis). I think I'll go with the slightly cuter variant (well, as cute as is gets with this man) and just stick ears and a tail on him!

Other Notes: There actually is some silly little onesie merchandise that has Hijikata's dog breed down as a doberman! Oh Gintama.

[milkmycattle]

Wolf/dog ears and tail will look good on Hijikata! That's probably what myumon Hijikata would be if he was from Crow's world ( Fun fact some of the dog myumon tend to be police officers). Anyway, I think Crow would be quite amused by the transformation.

[morns]

Player: Nik
Contact: exits#8071

Character: Kate Galloway & morns
Familiar: Bean Nighe
Magic Disciplines: Kinetic / Siphon
Event Plans:
🐈 party time! Kate will quite happily attend, and given that her childhood dream was Olympic athlete, she's gonna be not wearing a lot 😔
🐈 she'll willingly go along with murder game but I definitely want her to be dragged into truth or dare and spin the bottle too, so I will probably throw her at those prompts...
🐈 look there's plenty of booze, she isn't gonna try to leave. she may try to dissuade people, in as much as saying "it's your funeral" is dissuading.
🐈 totally forgot but now that she has Siphon magic, I am definitely here for her trying to help and fucking up curse removal somehow because she has not even tried to practice it yet. (': Trial by fire amirite

Other Notes:


Character: Izumi Tachibana & currysseur
Familiar: Lioness
Magic Disciplines: Light / Bargaining
Event Plans:
🎬 another party attender! her childhood dream was to act, so she'll be dressed up something like this, I think.
🎬 it is... not impossible that Izumi would end up revealing too much about herself and getting caught by the fairy queen... uu
🎬 but she'll happily play games! nothing against a bit of fun here.

Other Notes:


Character: Century Egg & fellsound
Familiar: Warrior Spirit
Magic Disciplines: Dark / Death
Event Plans:
🥚 Awooooo... yeah, he's staying and ending up turning into an inumimi. uu Haven't decided on a breed yet but he will probably be handling this first transformation badly. (': fun times.

Other Notes:

[tantailizing]

Player: VG
Contact: PM or demidemonLove

Character: Zidane Tribal & tantailizing
Familiar: Moguo the Moogle
Magic Disciplines: Kinetic/Bargaining

Event Plans: He'll be in attendance to the party... and laughing at the Queen's note. You know, he expected her to be more formal, but holy shit, total opposite. Anyway, here to party and also learn more about the situation. Also, he'll play Truth or Dare and the Balloon Game.

Other Notes: It'd be Spin the Bottle too, but... hahaha...

Character: Naomi Kimishima & chatwithdeath
Familiar: Eve the Snake Spirit
Magic Disciplines: Healing/Death

Event Plans: She's a workaholic. Sure, she should probably attend the party, but she's not going to because she'll take her chances... and suffer the consequences. Werewolf curse time. She may have to be found and returned to the hospital, buuut... curing the curse? She'll think about it.

Other Notes: Look, she might considering keeping it if only because she'd have some way of defending herself.

[markedfordeath]

Is Naomi going full or partial transformation?

Macaroni | Crow + Chrome Dokuro

[milkmycattle]

Player: Macaroni
Contact: roniknowszilch

Character: Crow & milkmycattle
Familiar: Yatagarasu named Onyx
Magic Disciplines: Dark and Blood
Event Plans: Crow hasn't participated in the last two events, so I will make a top level!

*Costume - I finally have an excuse to dress Crow up as a Cowboy! He'll be the rancher of dreams for real!

*Party Games - Crow will participate in all three!

* Cynathrope - Oops, he left the party early and gets affected by the ritual! Just want an excuse to make Crow furry! In Crow's Myumon, he's red, so he'll probably be a red as a werewolf/dog, too.

Character: Chrome Dokuro & illusionaryskirt
Familiar: Bakeneko named Kagura
Magic Disciplines: Cognitive and Siphon
Event Plans: I'll probably be tagging out with Chrome, she'll attend the party, but she'll probably be a wallflower for the most part.

* Costume -Chrome will either dress as a princess or maybe a movie star since she probably idolized her mother when she was younger.

* Party Games - She probably won't participate in any of the games out of shyness, but maybe someone can rope her into truth or dare somehow or even the balloon game.

* Break the Curse - Chrome is new to her magic, but if anyone is okay with a complete novice and is willing to talk her through it, she'll be willing to help!
Other Notes:

[bakudan_bambino]

If I need Gokudera’s werewolf curse lifted (given that he has gifted someone else his countercurse potion), Zuko also has siphon magic, so he may want to introduce Chrome to his boyfriend and they can help him out. Could make for some interesting CR… if you’re down

Usami | Fenton and Amy Rose

[doctorintern]

Player: Usami
Contact: usamichan13

Character: Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera & doctorintern
Familiar: Pixie
Magic Disciplines: Elemental and Technomancy
Event Plans: Fenton is going to be dressed up as his ancestor, Sheriff Marshall Cabrera (yes that is real, it's not Fenton dressed as a sheriff), and he might play the Balloon Game or Truth or Dare if someone drags him into it.

Character: Amy Rose & pricklybloom
Familiar: Blue Flicky bird
Magic Disciplines: Healing and Dark
Event Plans: I'm thinking of having Amy dress up as a princess, just because. She might play some of the games, maybe the Balloon Game, but I'm kind of interested in having her become a werewolf (hog)? a-la Sonic Unleashed style. Because why not

Mare | Rei & Rinea

[silvergarden]

Player: Mare!
Contact: PM, add me at marineisle, or @ me in the game's unofficial discord!

🌸 Rinea

Character: Rinea & silvergarden
Familiar: fire emblem Guardian (Adalhard)
Magic Disciplines: Alchemy, Kinetic
Event Plans: Rinea will be attending the party! She will arrive as a ballerina, having always wanted to be a dancer.

Like she always does at parties Rinea will stay on the dancefloor until she drops, so if you have a wallflower type she will be quite happy to bully them into dancing with her. Maybe this time there's a weird fey-style dance she's trying out or something...

When pressed Rinea will avoid spin the bottle (scandalous!) but join truth or dare. Any dares or truth from her will be pretty friendly and benign (she's Too Polite for this), but some NPC fairies (or you??) can/will subject her to doofier stuff (thanks teen vogue for examples). If you get dared to eat something does that trap you in Elphame?!??? 😂
I will tag out on other people's games as well!

She will thus be staying out of the curse's way, and so will be in the perfect position to react to anyone else's dogifying, hahahah. Bring on the werepeople

🕶️ Rei

Character: Rei Amayado & groundzeroes
Familiar: Hou-ou (Princess)
Magic Disciplines: Dark, Technomancy
Event Plans: Rei will also be attending the party, and his costume will be a scientist. In fact he'll look so nondescript compared to usual, his CR might not recognize him.... LMAO!! Feel free to point that out, as he will try to play it off as nbd but like... it's really awkward. (how did he go from dreaming of science to becoming a conman??? Funny Story Actually!) Count your blessings, Rei. I could have dressed you up as a dad

Rei is against normal murder but he will play balloon game murder. Will probably end up on the ceiling because he is a large target. Enjoy being his captive audience if you're up there too dfkdsfsd
He will also join spin the bottle if pressed (so long as the other players are in his strike zone LOL) but he will steer very clear of Truth or Dare. He already puts enough work into keeping all of his lying and secret identities straight... no need to risk it all in fey land LMAO. Feel free to call him out on that.

His teammates/housemates are probably both going to end up as weredogs so he has a big storm coming lol. And maybe his son too! He will definitely be looking for assistance in breaking their curses, which if you have siphon magic or an extra countercurse potion will be a great way to get him in your debt. Wowee! How the turn tables!!! The thick plottens
Other Notes:

worlds most normal looking man coming through

[ofsilverflame]

if Rinea found herself pressed into a game of truth or dare, chris would probably come along too.

OddEyes | Eri + Saber (Artoria Pendragon)

[candyapplechild]

Player: OddEyes
Contact: OddEyes

Character: Eri & candyapplechild
Familiar: Unicorn
Magic Disciplines: Healing/Light
Event Plans: Eri's currently in her childhood, and her dream costume right now is... Deku's costume! She's a lil Deku bean! Still, she will accidentally end up leaving the party area and get turned into one of the babiest Werewolves you'll ever see. It won't be any drastic changes just yet, just a brand new big puffy white tail and new ears... but she's suddenly not speaking in a way that's understandable, unless you have Animal Magic at least.
Other Notes:


Character: Saber (Artoria Pendragon) & excalibeam
Familiar: Red Dragon
Magic Disciplines: Elemental/Light
Event Plans: Saber will also be accidentally wandering out of the party area, hence also becoming a Werewolf. Oops. I'm still not 100% decided on what her costume will be... maybe it's just her 3rd Ascension, maybe it's a typical Knight costume, or maybe it's Saber Lily... either way, something to figure out. I imagine she'll take part in either Truth or Dare or the Balloon Game.

artoria experiences a class change to lancer

Idk, I'd be down for werewolf fun. He does have siphon magic so let him suck out the òwó from her~

min | okada izō

[hitokiri]

Player: min
Contact: DM this journal or koutenko

Character: Okada Izō & hitokiri
Familiar: Inugami
Magic Disciplines: Animal & Green
Event Plans: Wowie I have not done one of these in a hot minute lmao. BUT.. I am having more time on my hands lately despite moving in a couple weeks and so I'm feeling spicy so I miiiight fuck around and top level. SO. PLANS???

• Izō will NOT be attending the party because the mods have really handed me a gift and said Werewolf Boyfriend so like... obviously he's gonna be dealing with the awoos.
• He's also an animal mage and so this is not going to be his first time being a dog but uhhh... throwing enhanced blood lust on top of how he is (see: violent) and then just letting that loose because he won't be able to control it? lmao
• If anyone wants to try and run him down and catch him? Open to that. Also if anyone wants to have a bad time? Also a thing that can happen! Since he can only be killed via silver bullet people can get rough with him but Ryouma probably isn't going to love that either haha.
• Ultimately, he's probably going to keep the curse lmao. The benefits will outweigh the negatives of having to transform a few days a month. Of course, he'll have to figure all that out control-wise in the meantime but it'll be fun...?
• Will probably top level because I'm jazzed to write doggo prompts ngl. CAN U TELL.

Other Notes: Work literally ran me into the ground from October onward but I'm swapping jobs so I hope to get CR with anyone I missed during that time!

Samu | Chris & Edelgard

[ofsilverflame]

Player: Samu
Contact: Through either of my journals, my personal plurk at samuraimarmoset, or on Discord at Samu#6300

Character: Chris Lightfellow & ofsilverflame
Familiar: Holly the Holly Elf
Magic Disciplines: Elemental, Siphon
Event Plans: Chris will be headed to the party to keep an eye on things and maybe as a not-quite-but-sorta-actually date with her not-quite-but-probably-going-to-be girlfriend and end up with a very fancy pirate queen costume based on some fantasies from her childhood. She'll be happy to take a turn on the dance floor, but as far as games go, Spin the Bottle is right out, but she might be talked into the Balloon Game (it seems harmless enough) or, possibly, truth or dare. Possibly. She also has Siphon Magic and while she primarily uses it for anti-magic purposes, she's become skilled enough with its more traditional functions that she could help anyone afflicted with the were-curse.

Character: Edelgard von Hresvelg & flame_emperor
Familiar: Shaggydog the wolf spirit
Magic Disciplines: Darkness, Blood
Event Plans: Edelgard is sitting out the party so that means werewolf wifes. Haven't decided on much yet beyond that, or how wolfy I'm going to go but sexy clothes-tearing werewolf transformations tho

Elza is going to be affected by the were-curse. Unfortunately it would be a cold day in hell before she'd admit such weakness in front of Chris. We could have some future fun with it though.

[markedfordeath]

Player: Ozzy
Contact: discord - ozzy#9721

Character: Elza & markedfordeath
Familiar: IronMoon
Magic Disciplines: Kenetic || Green
Event Plans: Elza's not the type to go to parties unless hired to do so... And no one wants her attending for those reasons lol as it is she'll be hit with the curse. Because I'm cruel, she'll be turning fully into a white werewolf. I'll have to see how her development goes to when she'll seek a cure but she's definitely the type to try and figure out how to solve her won mess first.

If anyone wants to meet the wolf then I'm happy to throw her at them. Fair warning though, a hungry wolf will want to take a bite. How much of a bite will be entirely up to you.

Very unlikely I'll do a top level but happy to if there's interest.

Robin | Hayato Gokudera | Katekyou Hitman REBORN!

[bakudan_bambino]

Player: Robin
Contact: Plurk@ rocksintreetops or just PM this journal (I forget that discord exists and often forget how to even use it)

Character: Hayato Gokudera & bakudan_bambino
Familiar: Lariosauro/Ogopogo
Magic Disciplines: Light/Elemental
Event Plans: Gokudera has a countercurse potion, and I’d be more than happy with him giving it away to someone he has positive CR with

But I also want him to be a werewolf. It was a lot of fun last time. After partying too hard for New Years, he’s going to be leaving this ball early.

If no one wants the countercurse potion from him, then he’ll use it. :| that’s kinda boring though and I like making his life difficult. So… Who wants a free countercurse potion?

If I don’t have any takers for the potion, I’m just going to say that he was carrying it with him for some stupid reason while training with his dynamite so it broke open/spilled in his bag. Boy’s good at creating damage so whatever.

[cameprepared]

Player: Ax
Contact: intercession or PMing Claire's account.

Character: Claire Redfield & cameprepared
Familiar: A Barghest
Magic Disciplines: Dark and Green
Event Plans: I'm thinking about a top level! I'm not sure. I'll probably wing my decision there. But she's definitely going to the Costume Ball dressed as a noir detective because that's exactly what she wanted to be as a kid. Truth or Dare she would do, but I'd prefer dares be pretty PG this time around. Also she'd be avoiding spin the bottle for some personal reasons. Her love life is complicated rn.

She has a Countercurse potion that she won in a tournament a while back she could give to someone that needed it, too.
Other Notes: Nothing to add, but I will note I may make a networkpost, and I may not. I'm a little unsure because I'm waiting on some work stuff to hit.
