INTERLUDES

These are interludes and threads that happen post-fire bees campaign.

Just post a toplevel if you'd like and thread as needed! You can link posts or thread them here, it doesn't matter. Journal posts are good in case you need to keep things SECRET. You can just post a link and then unlock the post in the future.

YOU ARE NOW LEVEL 5! CONGRATULATIONS!

UPCOMING SESSIONS


• Dec 23rd - takes place a few IC days after last night's session had, and it'll revolve around Kingdom Management! Building Facilities, giving NPCs things to do, looking at Political Alliances, maybe starting on some more webs in the great plot of this Meikyuu Kingdom World, and so forth. It'll be a pretty chill session and there may not be too much roleplaying since this is just to try and get things undergoing in your Kingdom itself.

• Dec 24th or 25th - we might do a small 1-2 hour ~holiday/gift~ Interlude if those of you who are available want a really cute thing? NOTHING SUPER, nothing that will mess you up if you miss it because you'll be able to handwave having attended, but an opportunity for cute things in the light of murder~

• Dec 30th - NO SESSION! This is the actual day I move into the new house, so sadly I won't be able to run anything, but nothing is stopping you from doing interludes with one another~~~

• Jan 6th - takes place an entire 1 IC month after the date of last night's session, THE START! OF A NEW! LABYRINTH!?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONSIDERATIONS

SKILLS: If you are not content with your skills, you are free to swap them around, especially since I changed a bunch of them and added new ones. I encourage looking over the skills and considering the kind of skilset you're after! You may also change your Job if you'd like.

Just remember, the skills you should have are:

• 2 Job Skills (already determined by your Job, of course.)
• 1 Class Skill (of your choice)
• 4 Other Skills (pick skills from General, Item, Entertainment, your Class, or the skill groups relating to your Job)
• And if you're Celi you also have Step Forward, which cannot be changed out since that relates to your background!

Once January's session starts you should stick to your skillset.

LIKES/DISLIKES: By reflecting on the previous Labyrinths, you are allowed to change your Likes/Dislikes as you see fit since they will be showing up in Labyrinths more often. If you do not want to change them, that is fine.

Miss Olive's Magic Shop

SPECIAL ITEMS



Sulfur Spoon - 100g
A silver spoon beaded with red and orange gems. It's packed with enough magical energy to dig a hole in a labyrinth's wall once a day, in a single go. However, it has a nasty side effect...




Teapot of Infinite - 60g
A crystallized teapot with a squirrel-shaped lid. It's lightweight, and it doesn't look like it's filled with any water. However, upon pouring, it releases a stream of boiling hot water from its spout—it could go on forever.




Chirp-Ć̕h̨͜҉̧̛í͜r̸̨p̕͟͟͠ Coin - 25g
A copper coin with a fat bird on both sides. Flip it to receive either a blessing or a curse. Single use.




Dragonscale Gloves - 100g
Heat resistant gloves that make it possible for your hands to endure great temperatures, including fire, especially fire. They've been woven with a yarn that keeps your hands warm in the cold, too.




Grandma's Old Brooch - 200g
A smiling bee brooch composed of many rhinestones. Summons bees.




Nearly All-Seeing Kaleidoscope Glasses - 80g
A pair of glasses with lenses so refracted and colorful you'd think you wouldn't be able to see through them at all. Putting them on allows you to see the world with a wide spectrum of colors, and with x-ray vision as well.

NON-SPECIAL ITEMS

[02] Crocheted Blanket - 200g each (it's a blanket made with love)
[03] Candle - 10g each (lights a 10ft radius)
[10] Health Potions - 25g each

ENCHANTMENT

Miss Olive also offers a service where she will magically enchant any item you currently possess with one of her magic jewels. The problem is, even she doesn't know what the result will be. It could be disastrous, or it could be amazing.

The service is 100g.

Once enchanted, an item cannot have this enchantment removed.

Currency

Introducing some changes to how money is managed, because gambling and personal purchases are coming into the picture and it can be a little OOCly unfun to go "WOW I WANT THAT THING but oh wait I share a treasury with everyone else, and manage a kingdom that relies on these funds, so I need to address this all first, hmm..."

Now everyone has their own personal wallet alongside the kingdom's treasury! Of course, when making kingdom purchases the court will still need to work together to make the right decisions and utilize the treasury... but now you each can be a little frivolous on your own terms with the money you carry around on you!

To define the two currencies that now coexist:

Halation's Treasury - Megagold

• Your kingdom can only utilize megagold, so Halation's treasury only pertains to megagold.

• Megagold (MG) takes the form of hefty gold bars. They're invaluable to a kingdom and are typically used on large purchases such as land, facilities, bulk supplies, and so forth.

• In summary, this form of currency is typically used for diplomatic and political situations though exceptions may apply.

Your Pocket Funds - Gold

• You can only carry gold on your person, because carrying megagold is very inconvenient—it's inapplicable to everyday situations, and huge!

• Gold (G) takes the form of gold coins, and is a universal form of currency here in the world of labyrinths. Businesses expect gold as payment for goods and services. If you tried to use megagold instead... well, it'd be like using a rare $1,000 bill to buy some cheap candy at a mom & pop shop.

• Labeled as "pocket" on your sheet; I figured this would get the point across that it's something you're carrying around, like pocket change, even if you're not using a pocket at all.

• Despite this currency suddenly being introduced into the campaign, please assume your character already knew what this was... unless they really just wouldn't.

Other Notes!

1MG = 1,000G! That's considered a good bit for someone to carry around, but for a kingdom that's not much at a~ll. It'll often be easy to tell when it's G or MG involved in a situation, but I'll make sure it's clear for you each time around.

There will be places where any of you can make deposits and withdrawals to Halation's treasury:

• when you're in Halation
• in a bank, even outside of Halation's territory
• supposedly by wiring with magic or devices...?!

Currency conversion automatically takes place, but it will need considered:

• When depositing into the treasury you can only deposit by exact thousands. When you try to deposit 13,050G into the kingdom treasury, you will still have 50G leftover in your pocket since that won't convert into MG. That said, the treasury would increase by 13MG.

• When withdrawing from the treasury you cannot break a MG. For example, you would not be able to withdraw 1.6MG from the kingdom's treasury to get exactly 1,600G—you'd have to withdraw 2MG = 2,000G.

Why deposit?

Each character's personal reasoning aside, sometimes you will encounter situations where you need to have money in the treasury, even on your journey...

Why withdraw?

Because gacha exists. Obviously.

A NOTE: you might remember that at the end of every labyrinth you receive bonus $$$ for every room you explored and engaged with—it's just a game mechanic to keep your kingdom afloat and to encourage exploration. Anyway, these funds will continue to go directly to the kingdom's treasury, just like before.

TL;DR: you each now have your own personal money that you can earn and use for yourself instead of constantly referring to the kingdom's treasury. The currency and its uses differ, but the money is interchangeable both ways.

I WILL DEFINITELY GUIDE AND ASSIST YOU ALONG THE WAY! Please don't shy away from asking questions or for further explanations!

Your return to the kingdom...

A LINK -> A map of the Known [to your kingdom] World so far.

Halation now has 74 Citizens. It's growing quite cramped—you will definitely want to expand soon. There is now 9MG in your treasury.

• Lifestyle is 2. Your people aren't TOTALLY as poor as dirt, actually. This is why merchants bother to visit you. Sometimes.
• Culture is 1. Your people struggle to find enrichment of their meager lives through the idol lifestyle and their worship of the Deep Ones.
• Order is 1. There is a risk for disorder due to the continued distribution of the mysterious EVIL reagents.
• Military is 1. Your kingdom is hardly fit to defend itself from outside threats.

OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER: Due to the desires of your kingdom, you may purchase the Southern Forest Labyrinth for a mere 5MG. (Worth considering, given that this labyrinth would normally cost you 9MG any other time.) Upon purchasing this land, you'll be able to build new Facilities on it. [a link to available facilities to come soon.] This decision must be made by the upcoming session.

TREASURES TO SHARE: Along the way you've acquired 1 Very Vine Dagger, 1 Mushroom Bisque, 1 Mushroom Parasol. Ownership must be decided among the six of you by the upcoming session.

EVENT: Currently, Halation is celebrating your return with a festival. There's gossip here and there, but overall most people are content with your decision to handle the farmland bandits the way that you did. That said, there are banners, balloons, and streamers tossed about. A small group from the temple is trying to put on a live performance in a few days from now. From the sounds of it, this festival will be going on until the envoy sent by the Millennium Dynasty arrives next week.

[IC Time Until Next Labyrinth: A WEEK
OOC Date of Next Labyrinth: JULY 15th, 9PM EST]
