Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be going on a week-long trip around Japan! I should still have internet access through my phone and the occasional hotel/hostel, but it's going to be spotty. This affects Anise and Rita.

Apologies to my NS partners! I'd appreciate it if, once our characters meet up, you guys can take care of most of the moving posts. If I'm stuck posting on mobile, linking threads is going to be tricky, which could lead to further delays.

well, i was going to hold off on doing this until next night shift, but something very major happened in my family yesterday morning and because of such i will not be around for most likely a very long time for very long periods of time, and now i actually have time to sit down and write this out.

it's a long time coming, but my inspiration to continue to write for kairi has diminished, as made evident by my lack of activity in the past six months. for that, to the people i have threaded with in the past few months, i am deeply sorry.

that being said, i am dropping kairi. and because she is my only character, that means i am dropping from damned as well. you all are wonderful writers and wonderful people, and i thank you guys for being such a wonderful family for all these many years.

so, yes. i will not be killing her off, and she will just vanish. sora will most likely get her things, and by most likely i mean he will, so, yes.

stay good, damned.

Hey, guys! So I've got a question for you:

Who do you want to see in damned_institute?

This is our official Wanted Characters request post for damned_institute's group ATP. In other words, post here for any characters you'd love to see, and we'll advertise your request in a Damned-specific ad on app_this_plz! If you commented on the previous Character Request Post, there's no need to reply again. But if you've changed your mind on something or want to ad another request, then this is the place for you!

Best of all, it's easy! ★ Just comment using the following template:

Handle: This won't go in the ad itself, it's just for our own easy reference!

Canon: What series is your request for?
Wanted: Who from this series would you love to see someone app into Damned?
Have: Which castmates from this series are currently in the game? Alternatively, is there anyone who's stated their intent to apply as a castmate?

Questions/comments: Probably won't go into the actual ad, but here for if you want it. Feel free to list reasons you want to see a character for other players or prospective applicants to read! If you post any pictures, keep it under 300x300 pixels to spare slow connections.

And that's it! We'll take care of the rest. The next ATP post goes up on April 7th, so we'd like to get everyone's requests in by April 5th at the very latest. This is to give us a little time to adjust the code for the ad if necessary.

A special thanks to Cocoa (momijizukamori) for putting together the code for an ad, and to Claire (slan) for agreeing to help maintain the monthly request posts and ads.

Have fun!

Request your monsters here!

IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be new sections added to the form for the purposes of the military arc (and beyond that, possibly, if we keep the pin system). Make sure to read carefully when putting in a request.

<b>Characters:</b> <b>Location:</b> area [<a href="http://link.html">link here</a>] <b>Would you like to try for a monster pin?:</b> (Answer yes or no.) <b>If yes, list what pins each character already has and what weapons/equipment each has:</b>

Example:
Characters: Aidou, Johnny
Location: Chapel [link here]
Would you like to try for a monster pin?: (Answer yes or no.)
If yes, list what pins each character already has and what weapons/equipment each has:

Now, for how NPC monster modding works! Basically, the maps has been divided up into sections and coded (first floor here, second floor here). Each NPC mod is in charge of a particular section.

That means that when you make a request, you'll pretty much know which NPC mod will be taking care of it. The NPC mods can track this post and keep an eye out for when there are any requests that are in their area and then get to it. (Also, this way if there's a delay in getting your request filled, you know who you can contact about it.) Of course, a NPC mod could always ask one of the others to pinch hit for them if they're busy, on hiatus, etc.

Each NPC mod will reply here with a comment with THEIR NAME in the subject line, and then people will respond directly to that comment when they need a monster. In other words, if I wanted to be attacked by a monster in the Courtyard, I would reply to Tiassa's comment with the request. We think NPC mods might be able to keep track of when they're needed easier that way. In the event that you need an NPC mod in an unassigned area (outside the institute, the basement, etc.), there will be a specific thread for those places that you can respond to (and any mod will be able to pick those requests up).

There will be a three-day waiting period for NPC mod requests. In other words, if you wait three days and still don't get a monster, then you can feel guilt-free about contacting the NPC mod and asking them about it. At that point, the NPC mod must decide if they are going to do it. If they are unable, it's their responsibility to find another NPC mod to handle the request for them.

This should also make it easier for the NPC mods to watch their area and send out random attacks, so stay sharp! 8)

The area assignments can be seen here, or if this is easier:

First Floor
Green - Court
Yellow - Claire
Light Blue - Eryn
Purple - Aison
Pink - Court
Dark Blue - Jansen

Second Floor
Pink - Sarah
Teal - Kaze
Tan - Kristyn
Orange - Psyche
Green - Pazu
Blue - Jansen

As for the outside areas and the basement, those requests can still be handled by any of us! And that's about all! Hope this makes this process a little more efficient.

This is where you comment with any alerts that other players should be aware of. Your character knocks down a certain door? Comment here so that there isn't confusion with people trying to open doors that have already been taken care of. Your character raids a supply closet? Note here what was taken so that anyone else heading that way knows what they have left to choose from. Part of the building gets blown up? You better let us know!

Also, if something particularly noteworthy is going on a specific room, feel free to mention it as well. Let's say your character is in the middle of torturing another character in the 2nd floor kitchen. It would be a little weird for a group to bypass that while looking for supplies, so... yes! This is just a simple way for us all to stay informed about the out of the ordinary things that might be going on during any given night.

Basically, just respond here with the appropriate location in the subject line (if applicable, since that's not as easy to do when it's a lock-breaking), and... yes!

Thanks, and enjoy this nightshift!

Hey, Damned! It's been a while.

Emily (colortheory) here, returning after a yearlong absence with this good-looking gent. His friends call him Flynn (or they would if he had any), his girlfriend knows him as Eugene, but you ladies can call him anything you want.



He's going to get intro'd during Dayshift, so keep an eye out for him. :D

I'm so excited to be back! You'll have a hard time getting rid of me again.

Hey, everyone!

First of all, if you haven't responded to the latest ACTIVITY CHECK, please take a moment to do so.

Next, here's what's going on for tonight: in response to the failed mission last NS, someone has started pumping white gas into parts of the building. Anyone who inhales the gas may experience sweating, nausea, short breath, and intense hallucinations. After they leave the gas-filled room, the hallucinations will last at least 5 rounds, while any lasting nausea/illness will last a total 9 rounds.

Players will be free to decide what hallucination they'd like their character to experience. It could be their greatest fear, a monster in the room, their homeworld, blood running down the walls, or something else we haven't mentioned. We only ask that the hallucinations skew more on the creepy/scary side. Furthermore, since we realize triggering group hallucinations can make for a chaotic thread, not everyone in a group must hallucinate, but hallucinations should affect at least ONE person in a group. Everyone exposed to the gas, however, regardless of whether they are hallucinating or not, should at least experience the other physical symptoms (sweating, nausea, shortness of breath) for 9 rounds once they've left the gassed room. Although those symptoms alone won't be enough to incapaticate someone, they will be at a severe disadvantage during a fight or if they have to do something physical (heavy lifting, running, etc.)

We'll be informing players whether their character/group gets gassed once they're about to actually walk into it. Therefore, before you make a new post in damned_institute for a new room (not including hallways or outdoor areas), please comment to this lounge post with the following template:

Name/Handle: Self-explanatory.
Character/s: List of characters in your thread.
Room: What room is your character about to enter?
Thread: Night 62: [Location]

<b>Name/Handle:</b> Self-explanatory. <b>Character/s:</b> List of characters in your thread. <b>Room:</b> What room is your character about to enter? <b>Thread:</b> <a href="YOUR THREAD HERE">Night 58: [Location]</a>

Each character/group entering a new door currently has a 1 in 6 chance of getting hit with the gas. Once the second week of NS begins, it will drop down to 1 in 4, and then on the third week the chances will be 1 in 2.

Once an NPC mod has rolled a dice, they will let you know whether your character/group will get gassed. It will be your choice whether to have your entire group enter the gassed area, but the character who is supposed to enter first will get hit with a cloud of gas regardless.

If you have any questions or concerns, please mark your subject ike with QUESTION and comment to this post. Alternatively, you can reach Court, Psyche or myself (Jansen) over PM, E-mail or Plurk.

Thank you!

Hey, guys! So a long time ago, we used to have an AIM chatroom that kind of fizzled away into obscurity. Been thinking about it lately, and thought, "What the hell! It's the weekend. Let's see if we can try getting a chat together again." So, if anyone feels like popping in and hanging out, feel free whenever.

Chatroom name is damnedooc. People should be able to invite themselves into the room as long as they have the name, I think. Otherwise, if people need an invite or something, lemme know.
