MEMBER & GUILD RANKING
New quests are released! Sign-ups will open officially on the 3rd of this month, so until then, here's a plotting post for you all to get your Duckletts in a row! Before we hop right into things, though, here are the tallies from total quest points!

Click here for the rankings!

⟡ MEMBER RANKING
ICly, Rankings will show the points earned of all Pokemon in guilds, including NPC Pokemon not listed here OOCly. We didn't list guild leaders this time, but might in the future for fun. Keep in mind that quests available to player characters are not the entire pool of quests, and that some are likely snatched up before they can get to them regularly, which is how points vary and how some guilds pull ahead even without much player help. However, over time, player points will certainly affect the standing of guilds! Without further ado, here are the characters in ranking order by guild:

Oran Berries
Akechi 4500 points
Shoka 2700 points
Emmet 3250 points
Ren 2700 points *
Ingo 2400 points
Bigby 1300 points
A.B.A 1200 points
Sanji 1150 points
Umemiya 1100 points
Flamebringer 1050 points
Noelle 550 points
Kris 400 points
Parvati 300 points
Cedric 250 points
Kinger 250 points
Impmon 150 points
Need 100 points
(* Ren has earned an upgrade to mid-tier housing!)

Cheri Berries
Siffrin 3250 points *
Guilmon 2500 points *
Laios 2500 points *
Flowey 2400 points
Firoza 2000 points
Fireheart 1600 points
Archnemon 1550 points
Agnes 300 points
Henry 100 points
Ken 100 points
Tenna 100 points
(* OOCly, Siffrin (ISAT) has 600 points and Siffrin (SA) has 2650 points, but ICly they were mixed up and their points were pooled together. Also, Guilmon and Laios have earned an upgrade to mid-tier housing!)

Lum Berries
Emporio 4000 points
Anasui 3750 points
Perrin 1400 points
Akira 1350 points
Ring-Spirit 1250 points
Chara 550 points
Seto 350 points
Dolly 250 points
Odile 50 points

Congratulations to Ren, Siffrin (SA), Guilmon, and Laios, for achieving the next tier of accommodation! You are free to assume at any time during the month, that your Guild Leader has approached you with an offer to move to Middle Tier Housing; as this is an optional upgrade, you are also free to remain in Lower Tier Housing instead.

Note: It is entirely possible that Ribombee will approach Siffrin (ISAT), due to confusing them for each other.

⟡ GUILD RANKING
And of course, posted everywhere is the guild ranking.

1. Lum Berries
2. Oran Berries
3. Cheri Berries

Calling all available Pokemon capable of rescue! Team Watchlight of the Cheri Berries Guild has yet to return from their mission. According to their most recent mission report to Pellipper, they were located within the Heavy Downmoor region - more specifically, the flood basin.

Please, if you can bring anyone back, the guild will be forever grateful! You will know them by the reflective bands each member wears.

DIFFICULTY: ★★✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by NOVEMBER 30TH 11:59 EST.

Now that we're keeping track of who's in the city, I've realized that I haven't seen Furfrou in a while... Does anyone know where they might have gone? It might take some investigating, but I'll give you a cool rock for it!

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: A random evolution or power-up stone.

WOOLLY ACTIVITY
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Ribombee
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by NOVEMBER 30TH 11:59 EST.

As winter fast approaches, it is vital we properly supply ourselves. Right now, we're in need of shed fur and wool to create blankets and garments. Accepting anyone and everyone who can help gather and transport some.

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

BAX TO ARCTIBAX
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Mightyena
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by NOVEMBER 30TH 11:59 EST.

As proof of solidarity with our allies, it is important to help defend the territories of the Forest from those who mean harm. In particular, Arctibax have been spotted harassing local Ghost Pokemon - remind them that they have their own place to call home!

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

MAYORAL VOTE RESULTS!

On a makeshift stage, as her last activity during this trip to Skull Town, Mightyena counts out the votes collected from all the poll boxes - gently discarding invalid votes to the side. (A Pelipper from the post office reviews that pile, making sure she didn’t make a mistake.)

The other end of the stage holds all five candidates - though Grimpig seems distracted, busily chattering away over telepathy. There’s an increasingly apprehensive silence from Umbreon in particular as the tally starts racking up more and more in his favor, and the pile of votes grows small… and then Malamar exclaims and points. There’s a Swalot near the pile with a suspiciously full-looking mouth!

Swalot is quickly bullied into using Spit Up, revealing a slimy bundle of additional votes. Mightyena dutifully calls these out as well, though she’s hiding a grimace at the clammy texture. By the time she reaches the bottom, though the vote is respectably close, there’s still a clear victor!

As promised, we’ve tallied the IC Vote on our new Mayor for (Death Blood Murder) Skull Town. With that in mind, we’d like to give a hearty congratulations to Cheri Berry Guild’s Lurantis!

Lurantis replaces Mightyena to make a very short, if still gracious, speech - though she’s outwardly calm, perhaps she doesn’t enjoy speaking to crowds? She thanks those who voted for her and promises again to focus first on preparing Skull Town for the encroaching winter, and on relations with the local Pokemon. Then she steps delicately down off the stage and into the crowd to make herself available to talk to.

As it turns out, she’s built up enough popularity that the crowd is packed tight! No Pokemon originating from other worlds will get a chance to speak with her directly before she eventually has to leave, but she’ll be available again in the near future. Just give her a couple of weeks to get settled into her new duties and organize the most urgent tasks and assignments!


INCOMING EVENTS

Winter appears to be arriving a little too quick for everyone’s liking this year, as once the middle of the month arrives so too will snow - and a lot of it! Get ready to see what Pokemon do during a Snow Day as we greet potential new players this month, as we begin to see snow forts, snow wars, and…snow beasts?

Hopefully whatever is coming isn’t any worse than Froslass.

Bones + Fireheart

[firealone]

PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Bones
ABOUT: I'm a commission/comic artist living in EST! I run a webcomic about superheroes and social unrest, and I've drawn a good chunk of the PMD-style icons in game :> I haven't been super active here but I'm trying very hard to improve that because I just love the Bay and all of the players here.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Fireheart
CANON: Warrior Cats
POKEMON: Litten
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!
ABOUT:

Fireheart used to be a housecat, before he wandered into the woods and joined a feral cat colony called ThunderClan. He lived with them for two months before ending up in Bottlecap Bay, where he was one of the first outlanders to join the Cheri Guild and has cemented himself as one of Ribombee's favorites. Fireheart recently gained his warrior name via a dream vision of his leader back home, and has been trying to recover from his month-long coma even though the fatigue never entirely went away. He's also been slowly forgetting a lot of things about Clan life, including what his best friend looks like and what a lot of ThunderClan's customs are, and he's been using less and less cat-specific language.

Fireheart has now officially been a Litten for half of his life, and he's no longer introducing himself to new people as a cat unless he's specifically asked about it. For all intents and purposes, he's pretty much a native Litten and he doesn't think he would want to be a cat again even if he got the opportunity.

PLANS:

Most importantly, Fireheart is posting a quest this month! It's been really bothering him that he ran into Jayfeather during one of the TDMs and never saw him again, so he'd like to organize a few search parties to try and figure out what happened to the Pokemon who show up during TDMs and don't get apped. These quests are ALL going to be failures, necessarily, but they should be fun flavor at least!

Fireheart's also on a learning journey about other forms of government (since the Clans have a sort of... benevolent dictatorship going on) so he might randomly ask other characters what elections/politics are like in their worlds. I want him to do some quests and get him climbing up the leaderboards again so that's probably when he'll be picking other peoples' brains. And of course, it wouldn't be Fireheart if he wasn't risking his pelt during every single TDM so that's on the docket too!

ANYTHING ELSE:


Warriors would be a two-book series if Fireheart had a gun

POKEMON: tinkaton

INFO/PERMISSIONS: here!

ABOUT:

parvati's a grounded space girl making the most of her situation. she misses home, but has been having a good time making new friends and trying new food. don't mind that she's keeping her homesickness to herself, ok? she's happy to help with whatever people need simply for the sake of being a helpful member of the community, and is happy to be a shoulder to lean on in tough times.

Agnes Montague

[pyrodulia]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Agnes Montague
CANON: The Magnus Archives
POKEMON: Ninetails
GUILD: Cheri Berries
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://pyrodulia.dreamwidth.org/626.html
ABOUT:

Once upon the 1960s, a little girl was born to end the world. In 2009 she died. And now, she's here.

Agnes is settling into her new life, making friends. She may be seen in the company of Noelle (vaguely threatening protective vibes), Flowey (edgelords united), Bigby (for warm drinks and snackies) or Henry (...she still doesn't have a good reason for this), and spends time running messages from the Watchtowers to the core of the Canopy.

PLANS:

Go ham on the TDM? Possibly let her fur be harvested for the Woolly Activity quest? I'm mostly just vibing for Agnes.

ANYTHING ELSE: I made her a playlist!

FLOWEY

[friendlyflower]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Flowey
CANON: Undertale
POKEMON: Sunkern
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Shoots a friendliness pellet right over here!

ABOUT:

Flowey is a friendly flower and your new best friend who wants to help you!

He may have been brought back from a tragic and untimely end in a limbless, soulless form that left him unable to feel love, and he may have reset the timeline an unknowable amount of times until everyone around him felt like nothing but arbitrary lines of code to him, but it's fine don't worry about it.

Flowey has made strides in trying to improve himself since he got here and he's living his edgiest tween life right now.

PLANS:

Flowey sure had a busy month last month! He's still shaking off that fever after an incident at Icefall Lake, and he got hit with a nasty attack or two during other quests. Additionally, he's slowing down as the weather turns colder. His new warm hats help him a little bit, but it's in his plant instincts to just remain under a sun lamp and not move until Spring. (Without a sun lamp, I imagine he's huddling close to his Sun Stone that he got ages ago.)

I plan to keep backtagging as always, and he'll probably make a begrudging appearance to help newbies on the TDM. As far as quests go, Flowey won't be deterred by fever or snow! He's so close to mid-tier housing, he can almost taste it...!

Woolly Activity, if he's allowed to reap the rewards by brushing other Pokemon? Let's have some chill threads. He might be dragged out on "Who Watches the Watchlights", and I'm keeping an eye on the player quests.

There are some people (ahem. Siffrinx, Kris) he's in a very interesting CR spot with right now and I'm excited to see what comes of that.

EDIT: Flowey also reposted his quest, so come join the building fun!

ANYTHING ELSE:

Check out his cool new hats! (Art by Terry!)



Not pictured: the badass Sharpedo tooth necklace (sash? belt?) he got from Laios.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: A.B.A
CANON: Guilty Gear
POKEMON: Silvally✨
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here

ABOUT:

A.B.A is a socially awkward homunculus who spent the first ten years of her life locked up in a mansion all alone. This has caused her to develop an intense fascination with keys, so much so that she declared herself married to a sentient battle axe simply because he looked like one. Her isolation has made her timid and shy, so to counteract this, she's prone to acting belligerent and authoritative. Her hope is that people don't think she's as lost and confused as she really is, but this often does the exact opposite.

Luckily, A.B.A thrives as a Pokémon, and doesn't feel the need to posture as much since most Pokémon are smaller than she is. She's hoping she can use every successful interaction as a lesson she can bring back home, when she finally reunites with her beloved Paracelsus, and show him just how far she's grown on her own. Please be her friend.

PLANS:

Now that I have digimon and z-a out of my system (although I now have the overwhelming urge to throw aegiomon time stranger on the upcoming tdm whoops), my plans mostly involve getting A.B.A back into the swing of things. Thanks to everyone who helped her kidnap three Klefkis! Where are they now? Don't worry about it.

Please take her on a mission! Who Watches the Watchlights sounds like a good one, I'm assuming it's water-based. And of course, she'd be down to take out Arctibax repeatedly in Bax to Arctibax! Alas, she doesn't shed (at least, enough) to donate anything.

Dolly

PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Dolly
ABOUT: Normally covered by puppers and art stuff, I also make art dolls or if I'm lucky, returning to work on my own comic. I am in CST and a pretty fast tagger.
CONTACT: You can reach me through my Character journals PM or over on PP at Dolly_Mancer :')
CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Dolly Mancer
CANON: Original
POKEMON: Sylveon
GUILD: Lum
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://autumnrainrunaway.dreamwidth.org/2553.html
ABOUT:

Oh boy, time to condense this Fae Queen's background! Now, Dolly has been tossed about as of recently from her original home on Tir Na Nog, to Earth, then to Doriene by accident, and now the Pokemon World. After getting sorted into Lum Berry, Dolly has been having a pretty good and easy time adjusting with her guild mates along with getting glasses crafted for her. Even better, Dolly has learned about there being other non human characters a nd is starting to relax more. Sure, she did end up as a ghost for a few days thanks to the Pumpkaboo and learning to fear the Grumpearl, but other than that, Dolly is going about just fine. Also test run Game Night unexpectedly turned into an Animal House grade party somehow! Wonder how that even happened...?

Heading into the personality department, Dolly most of the time, is pretty reserved in her own right, only letting loose her enthusiasm and excitement when something of her interests comes up. Dolly likes to keep calm and see if things can be talked through first before getting into fights. Dolly is very much full of wonder about the world around now that she is out for the first time. Sharing fun stories, especially ghost stories, are a very good way of getting Dolly to like people and in return will share stories that she knows of. Dolly is afraid of the dark thanks to where she came from and can get anxious at times. She can also sass a bit when the right buttons are pushed. The only time Dolly will fight is if she’s being threatened and even then, Dolly is the kind to hold back big time to avoid doing serious harm. Should be noted, Dolly likes to pun, a lot...

PLANS:

Holy moly, so I am fully for plotting for TDM related shenanigans as well as the Lum Berry Party that's still going on (Please feel free to threadjack, I'm very opened to that one for the wild party going on there). I'm definitely wanting to do the quests, but will likely be hand wave CRs due to the TDM (except for the Lurantis quest, that one I'm on board for making a post for), the Lum Berry Party, and the Fourth Wall coming up in another game my character(s) are in. If you have something else in mind, please feel free to ask :"D I'm fully opened to hearing other ideas and will definitely plot away with you on it :')

NOELLE HOLIDAY

[holidaygirl1225]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Noelle Holiday
CANON: Deltarune
POKEMON: Deerling (Winter form)
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

Noelle Holiday is a classic 'girl next door' type and the childhood friend of Kris, the protagonist of Deltarune. She's the mayor's daughter, a diligent student, a member of the church choir, a member of the Cross Country Team, and a gamer and horror enthusiast. She has a little trouble speaking up for herself, and her family life is a little strained.

In Deltarune Chapter 2, she had a chance to go on a wonderful adventure with Kris and get stronger. Was it really a dream...?

PLANS:

Last month, Noelle ran away and a major effort was undertaken to find her. She was found frozen, thawed out, and taken in for recovery. After a spending a while unconscious, she's awoken.

You can still visit her (I'm also open to planning some Wildcard prompts!). Once she's discharged, I think she could be dragged to a light quest, maybe Woolly Activity. I'm unsure what the TDM might bring, but I can see her doing some tag-ins at the least.

She is... also in a very interesting CR position with many characters after running away- Shoka and Kris especially- and I think it would be fun to follow up on that?

ANYTHING ELSE:

Lots of Noelle angst lately so here's a meme:

Umemiya

[fromsprouts]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Umemiya Hajime
CANON: Wind Breaker
POKEMON: Lucario
GUILD: Oran Berries
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://fromsprouts.dreamwidth.org/808.html
ABOUT:

You know how shonen anime will have a mentor figure who's at the top of the school, who the main protagonist aspires to beat/be like/become the successor to? Here's Umemiya. Orphaned, but surrounded by loving found family. Tough as nails, but good with children. A gardener who nurtures his kouhai just as much as his plants.

In BCB, Umemiya's having a little trouble with his Aura Sense picking up too much, especially when groups of people are in distress. But he's been actively jumping on quests and growing vegetables in his winter garden and trying not to think too much about that whole issue.

PLANS:

One of Umemiya's canonmates may make an appearance on the TDM, which is going to be interesting (especially since their timelines don't match exactly, so Ume will learn he's not missing at home). He might also be nudged by this into taking on Fireheart's player quest, because this isn't the first canonmate Ume has seen...

Beyond that, the reward party for the Brassica Bonanza quest will be held some time this month. I'm trying to figure out how best to handle the mingle, maybe allow those who quested to bring a +1, so we can make it a bigger thing?

Oh, and come hell or high water, he's getting his jacket this month.

ANYTHING ELSE:

[colorsflyinghigh]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Ren Amamiya
CANON: Persona 5 Royal
POKEMON: Sprigatito
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://colorsflyinghigh.dreamwidth.org/360.html
ABOUT:

Welcome to protagonist town, on your left we have Ren Amamiya, dumb idiot who keeps all his problems to himself while breaking his back to help others... oops! He's the (former) leader of the Phantom Thieves, a vigilante group who stood up to those who couldn't (or wouldn't) be punished by the regular justice system. He's got a very strong moral compass that may err a little on the grey side. He also probably doesn't worry enough about his own health, as stated above. He can appear very nice and respectful to authority... but at the same time, his morals won't let him just stand by and watch if he feels there is something going wrong, or authority being abused.

Also, he's rather reckless, when it comes down to it. Showy, sarcastic and reckless. He blends into the background as easily as he comes to the foreground when he wants it. All in all, he can wear many masks, and adjust himself/his behavior depending on who he's talking to, and what he wants.

PLANS:

I maaaay have taken on a bit too much last month and then gotten absorbed in legends ZA... as such, I'll be focusing on any threads I still have left over rather than creating too many new ones. As such, unless you REALLY wanna interact with Ren, I'd prefer if most threads got handwaved.

That said, he's going on Fireheart's IS ANYONE OUT THERE quest, but is also interested in WHO WATCHES THE WATCHLIGHTS and FURFROU’S SAKE! Additionally, Ren is shedding, so if anyone wants to help brush him and donate the fur for WOOLLY ACTIVITY, he's down for that! That is, if Akechi doesn't steal all his fur to cozy up their bed, hehe.

ANYTHING ELSE:

[holidaygirl1225]

I think a quest with Noelle and ABA would be really, really funny because ABA would not judge her for going on a rampage and nearly killing a bunch of Pokemon and would also not be overly worried about her for having been in the hospital. And Noelle still thinks ABA is scary. Who Watches the Watchlights, maybe? She's trying to avoid fighting again for now, unless you think it would be funny for ABA to see how much stronger Noelle has already grown (much to her own chagrin).

[quirkynote]

Finally, A.B.A's struggle with empathy works in her favor! I'd be so down for them to do Watchlights so they can do something where they're both comfortable. Maybe it can finally be a chance for Noelle to see A.B.A in a new light, or maybe A.B.A will just make it worse because she can't stop being herself. I'm excited either way.

Would Noelle willingly offer to do a mission with her, or would A.B.A just grab her because she's nearby and tell her she's doing a mission with her and she has no say in it?

[its_tv_time]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Tenna
CANON: Post Deltarune Chapter 3
POKEMON: Volbeat
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: https://its-tv-time.dreamwidth.org/1143.html
ABOUT:

He's the king of only, and thos host with the most! (The most... what?)

He's an actual, living CRT Television with emotions that reach the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in a matter of seconds. The former lord of his own dark world, Tenna wasn't always the best boss to his employees, and often treated them poorly when he was in a bad mood, or things didn't go according to plan, which happened more and more frequently when he stopped being watched. It resulted in him making a shady deal with the Knight in order to get his audience back. This backfired, however, because not only did his whole crew resign, he ended up fighting the Fun Gang, who did manage to give him hope that he wasn't obsolete yet, and would find a new audience... only to be attacked by the Knight, and nearly killed. It's okay though, because with the help of Susie and his former crew, he was repaired, and saved from death! With the resolve to do better by his crew, he was brought to Castle Town where he could wait for Susie and Kris to find him a new home, with a new audience...

... except that didn't happen, and now he's here! That's fine, he'll just put on a show here! Everything is fine and nothing is wrong whatsoever, haha! He doesn't need to be a TV to put on good TV! Doesn't matter that TV doesn't exist here! He'll find an audience... right?

PLANS:

Similarly to Ren, I'll be trying to focus on finishing up my existing threads. However, lemme know if you really wanna interact with Tenna! There's some people I didn't get to last month despite meaning to, so sorry!

Now that his TV studio is done, Tenna's been spending a lot of time there... just what exactly is he cooking up? The snow... oh, he loves the snow! ... Well, he used to. Now it just brings back bad memories. Maybe you'll run into him while he's having an episode? Regardless, as a show of goodwill, he's also planning on doing WOOLLY ACTIVITY. Gathering fur shouldn't be too hard, with how many furry creatures live in this place! If he may say so himself, he's also rather good at knitting... making a sweater shouldn't be a problem!

ANYTHING ELSE:

[holidaygirl1225]

I think it would be the latter, haha! She needs to be dragged out of her moping. Who better for that than the resident low-empathy chicken?

Also, the Watchlights quest is good with me! I'm excited to see where it goes!

[quirkynote]

Normally this would be the part where I'd ask if it's okay to drag along a third, but I think it would be really cute if they got some one on one time together. y/n?

[holidaygirl1225]

y!!! sounds good to me. I'm not against having a third if some really good option presents itself, but I think one on one bonding time sounds really nice!!

Somehow, I now have two dog boys with daddy issues known for their abysmal reputations and eating very questionable things!! Apologies in advance if you see me tagging you in the October event during November OOPS. I’m still very much catching up on things, but if there’s anything older you’d like to prioritize (or drop too, I totally get it) please let me know!

EMMET

[outbounds]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Emmet
CANON: Pokemon B/W
POKEMON: Hisuian Zoroark
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: right this way
ABOUT:

One of those two inexplicably popular guys who keep getting mentioned in unrelated games in the series all the time Train conductor from the modern era of fictional New York City but two steps to the left because surprise, Pokémon have always been a thing in his world! Cheerful and Always Smiling. Can be somewhat blunt and to the point! A bit of an adrenaline junkie, maybe, if that's what we're calling being into battling as much as he is. Because if a battle is not serious, it is not fun! Surely the eternal grin matched with this kind of attitude on a spectral white ghost fox who sometimes can be a little overwhelming especially when he gets (over)excited will be fine.

Where he's from he's one of the two who should be running Unova's equivalent of the Battle Tower, except out of the subway because nothing says New York like making your morning commute PVP enabled. Here in the Bay, or now the newly christened skull death all that goth stuff etc etc Outpost, he mostly keeps himself busy with missions and training and helping people get used to the Pokémon thing if need be, when he's not keeping himself attached at the hip to his (previously very, very missing) brother Ingo. Please understand that he will get zoomies if he is not doing something at all times.

PLANS:

Oocly I will probably be taking it easy this month and catching up since it's a TDM month! also I have stuff going on. I'm probably going to limit how many new heavier threads I take on as a result across both characters (this is unlikely to affect low effort faffing around on the network or more lighthearted threads), but if you're waiting on something from me/we have something currently ongoing/previously discussed then don't worry!

Also, it was floated a while ago to him icly by Ingo, and then also oocly egged on by the mods but then got backburnered with so much else going on ... but given how recentish events in Sept/Oct might have affected morale/everyone's spirits, he might be looking at revisiting that idea of a big cross-guild sleepover? You know, to cheer people up/get to know each other a little more? What better time than when most everyone's probably going to be in the same place anyway? Do we want to do another sleepover?

Also, who wants to gather up all of Emmet's shed for the fur and wool quest, lmao. It's basically free points. As always I am always open to any of the quests, esp the rescues!

ANYTHING ELSE:
( x ) it was Halloween yesterday therefore—

LAIOS TOUDEN

[dunchies]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Laios Touden
CANON: Dungeon Meshi / Delicious in Dungeon (manga)
POKEMON: Boltund
GUILD: Cheri
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here! Also an opt-out if you may want me to avoid manga spoilers; I generally try to keep them light regardless.
ABOUT:

[He would] have the stats that would normally make up a strong, well-rounded leader. However, his social skills are so lacking that it basically negates his other strengths... Which is to say, this boy ain't right! He has no social graces, is a little too stoked to be here, and tends to unnerve most people even back home. He is now a monster-obsessed-turned-Pokémon-fanatic, and he will be excited to try all the food Bottlecap Bay has to offer. Yes, that means everything. Wait, hold on, please don't go yet—

Laios has always struggled to fit in, but despite his experiences (or more likely because of them), he's far more kind and accepting than most would give him credit for. He may not know how to show it correctly, but he genuinely means well and holds every friendship he does manage to make very close to his heart.

Also. He has an impressive dog impersonation. He's very excited to show it off as an actual dog. Why wouldn't you want to be his friend because he's still an absolute weirdo, that's why.

PLANS:

October was a quieter month for him to catch up on some much-needed R&R while he wraps his brain around... things. Since he didn't head out on any mapping quests, he'd probably love to hear about all the goings on there. Otherwise, he’s been busy helping with farm-adjacent duties in the background. Herding Wooloos, harvesting crops, delivering Miltank milk around town… somehow, he’s a natural at all this kind of stuff.

With November being his birthday month, I’ve got an idea for player quest that will eventually wrap up into a casual mingle thread right before December. (UPDATE: quest is up!) He doesn’t mind bringing it up, but he won’t make too big a deal of it. Also, new housing! Mixed emotions! He’s gotten too used to sleeping next to everyone, so it’s going to take some coaxing for him to eventually move, but maybe the mingle can be a housewarming-birthday party for the hell of it.

As for quests, I’d love for him to help out with Is Anyone Out There in support of Fireheart (his official mentor by the way — yes, he will be bringing it up any chance he can). Otherwise, he’s definitely a good fit for Woolly Activity and Who Watches the Watchlights, which I’m open to handwave with the TDM around the corner!

BIGBY WOLF

[wolfcut]

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Bigby Wolf
CANON: The Wolf Among Us (game)
POKEMON: Morpeko ✨
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!
ABOUT:

Formerly the notorious Big Bad Wolf of fairytale fame, Bigby is now the exhausted sheriff of Fabletown in New York City circa the 1980s. Despite wanting to move on from his brutal past, his fellow Fables aren’t so easily convinced that he’s around to serve their best interests even after centuries on the job already. There’s a part of him that doesn’t think he deserves their forgiveness either, that he’s just suppressing the monster he really is, but he’s desperate to keep trying to protect those who need him.

He often skirts the line between sympathetic and ruthless depending on the situation, but in general, he’s mostly just rough around the edges and maybe a little sarcastic on his best days. Bigby can be pretty quick on picking things up, too, but his short temper can easily lead him astray when pushed enough. The man is perpetually on the verge of another crash out, please do not remind him (or do, so he can let out some pent up frustration)!!

PLANS:

Despite the absolute stress of Noelle going missing and him turning into a ghost, October turned into a relatively good month? He’s letting down some walls down, making more than one friend all by himself, learning how to cook and sew… He even kind of resolved that beef with Fireheart. This is all absolutely huge for a guy who did nothing but work for a town that hates him. Self-actualization: it can happen to anyone!

Currently, he’s in food hoarding and storing mode around the Spire, but please don’t mention it (but also do). It’s early November, but he’s already putting that scarf he got to good use. He misses his winter coat... Anyway! Quests! Open to all of them, but Furfrou’s Sake and Bax to Arctibax seem fun. He is still absolutely salty about Ghost-types, but now he can relate to them or whatever.

All the player quests are good too, but Don’t Get Snowdin especially because Bigby will not be happy going all the way up the Canopy for the first time! As always, I’m okay to handwave any with the TDM coming up!
