whilst the island danced the night away ...

The night of the masquerade was going smoothly. Everyone in attendance seemingly enjoying themselves. Sure, the occasional quarreling was overheard but that's to be expected when drinks are flowing from an open bar. What most attendees were unaware of was the stirring on the other side of the island. See, nestled at the tip on the edge of Ravenwyck is what appears to be a cozy lighthouse. The lighthouse is home to an ancient wixen who has kept their eyes glued on the prisoners of The Forgotten Isle since its start. Through ancient spells and charms, she along with a few others ensure that no one escapes. There's only been one incident that resulted in a painful death, resulting in none trying since. Unfortunately, whilst the rest of the island is enjoying themselves, a bubbling from inside the mountain of Midnight Labriynth stirred resulting in those thought dead floating to the surface. Ghosts and ghouls were silently making their way across the island, some causing mischief, others filled with confusion. A small group of ghouls led by the aforementioned prisoner made their way to the lighthouse, taking the guards and the ancient wixen by surprise and killing them resulting in most the warding spells failing and prisoners easily making an escape. Once word hit the council members at the masquerade, it was too late to stop things from escalating beyond repair. Acting fast, perhaps somewhat ill-advised, with help of a few powerful magic wielding beings they put the ball under lockdown. Those able to, with power left to see what they could do to calm the situation whilst the rest slowly started splitting attendees into groups until eventually all were split up, some with familiar faces, others not so lucky. Still, few knew what was actually happening, is keeping thousands of supernatural beings mixed with humans in the dark admist chaos truly the answer? There's truly only one way to find out.

Out Of Character Details: The music has stopped, the ball has come to an end, and attendees have been split into groups in hopes to better control the masses. It's possible that one or two have managed to slip out, but the majority are now under lockdown until things are under control.

ghosts are now an available species. more info can be found here. escaped prisoners can also be applied for, though at the moment we'll only be allowing one per mun.

in order to keep us from confusing the dash event threads from new ones, we've decided to test out Discord as we find it can be easier with group threads. Everyone will have access to all the groups as it is quite fun to be able to read what everyone is up to during the event! A Tupperbox tutorial will be shared on the resource blog and in the server, though the admins will also be around for any questions!

The groups have been randomized, and we've done our best to ensure muns don't have more than one character in a single group, but unfortunately for some we had to double up. You can find it below, under the cut.

I think literally every Three Wishes and Sheraton Academy character I have would simply go back and say, “Excuse me, you made this wrong. I asked for a blah blah blah.” And that would be pretty much it. Except Pascal and Cal, they would just drink the mistake and not say anything. Anxiety!!

How does your OC react to a barista messing up their order?

Happy Storyteller Saturday!

Instead of asking about your WIPs, I'm going to ask about your completed stories. Are there any characters who you hold particularly close to your heart? Why?

I LOVE JEN from In the Basement, In the Sky; Pascal from In the Lion's Teeth (he also has a bit of brief page time in Puzzle), and March and all of his friends from One More Time (With Feeling).

I love Jen because writing him was not only fun and interesting but it helped me figure out how to handle some of my own personal issues. I also love that so many people have connected with him; I've gotten a number of very sweet messages from people struggling with addiction saying they really felt seen, and that Jen's ending made them hopeful they could get sober too ;-;

Pascal was one of the ways I figured out I'm autistic (he is VERY autistic-coded even though it wasn't intentional, I was just writing him in the way that made sense to me. it pushed me into looking into it for myself more). he's so smart but he's awkward and people think he's weird and he's not very good at taking care of himself or dealing with emotions. I also wanted to write a character with schizoaffective disorder, which for a long time my doctors thought I had (it ended up being diagnosed as something else). but I feel like you don't see the schizo-family disorders enough in fiction, and a lot of what there is is really gross and demonizing. I wanted it to be a struggle for him and the people around him but not in a way that people think he's scary or a burden--he just needs things done in certain ways and the few people he gets close to are willing to do that. as friends should! Pascal gets scared of himself sometimes, but his friends are always there for him to fall back on, when he's confident enough in himself to ask

AND MARCH MY SWEET AWKWARD ARTIST he has bad luck with love and relationships and but he's really good at being a friend :) One More Time (With Feeling) is about a lot of things, but one of the things it's about is finding someone you can have a deep, loving connection with without sexual intimacy. I identified as ace at the time (now with more research I realize I'm more demi) and I wanted an ace character! the ending is sad but I like to think it suits the story. I love March. he paints and does street art with his boyfriend and helps Lola build sculptures out of the stuff she brings home from the junkyard where she works and he makes great coffee.

thank you for the question! I don't ramble enough about characters from my finished work, thank you for opening up that door for me! lol

[indecentpause]

Have you ever had an oc survive any plans/ drafts where they were supposed to have died? what did you do instead?

Thank you for the question, and sorry it took me so long to reply!

cw: drugs

In In the Lion's Teeth I originally played with the idea of Pascal dying of heroin tainted ketamine at the end. But he'd been through so much at that point, and he was finally almost happy! I couldn't let go of the thought though, so instead I made it vague enough that the reader could decide what happened after it ends. Does he die? Is it a nonlethal overdose? Does he have another breakthrough? Does he have a really bad trip? The reader can decide that for themself, and I can still have my own version in my head that I can change whenever I want depending on what kind of story I want to think about at the time.

[indecentpause]

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! How do your characters react to be scared/startled/surprised?

Happy (belated) Meet and Greet Monday!

Pascal in general is a very anxious and jumpy person, so being startled or scared magnifies that in the moment. If it’s a pleasant surprise, his breath will catch and he can keep moving after a moment. If it’s a bad one, it’s a potential panic attack.

Dona can’t be taken off guard easily, and when his is, he finds himself and moves on with the conversation very quickly. That’s why Pascal can never seem to surprise him. He does, but Dona just doesn’t show it much longer than a microsecond.

Mitch is pretty chill! He’ll laugh it off most of the time.

Benji goes into ‘fight mode’ for a split second, until she knows it’s a minor thing. Then she will also laugh it off.

[indecentpause]

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! How would you characters respond to the question "Do you believe in ghosts?"

OOOOH I LOVE THIS

cw: drugs

Pascal: No. At least, not in the way most people mean them.  Nothing ever really disappears when you die, your matter just gets transformed into something else. So like. Maybe you become a tree’s shadow. That’s kind of like  a ghost, right?

Dona: I’m not sure, to be truthful. I do believe in an afterlife. I am Catholic, after all, even though many people say I don’t act like one. I think we most likely either go to Heaven or Hell, and I don’t think we’d have spirits fluttering around here when they have a distinct place to be after death. Unless maybe someone was a really difficult case, a person who was, as it were, a 50/50. Maybe their sprits stay in the graveyard until it’s decided.

Mitch: Okay so I used to think it was spooky mumbo jumbo but like, then Benji and I ate some mushrooms once when I was really stressed out about some exams, and it changed me. I talked to God, or at least a God, some kind of deity, and if that shit’s real, then ghosts? That’s easy to swallow.

Benji: My apartment is haunted. It’s actually really rad, they’re all super friendly and generally mind their own business.

[indecentpause]

Happy MGM! :D If your characters had all their memories wiped but could keep one of them, which memory would they choose to keep?

cw: drugs

Pascal: You know, it’s probably selfish, but... it’d be my first time rolling. I know it should be my first kiss with Dona or meeting Mitch or Benji or even finding the nice coffee shop I like, but, there will be more kisses, and more hangouts, and more coffee. That first time on MDMA was pure magic and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Dona: That’s an excellent question! I do love asking odd questions like this upon first meetings. That’s a difficult one to answer, but I’d narrow it down to the first time I came out to someone (Chantal, my dear friend back in France), or coming out to my parents. I grew up in a very conservative area and all three were so supportive and loving. I’m not going to lie, I was terrified both times, but they all reassured me that nothing about it made me worse or better, and that there are so many more important things to focus on.

Mitch: Oh man, I know this is going to sound so dumb, but the first basketball tournament I won in high school. Or, well, that my team won. I don’t even talk to any of them anymore; we parted ways at graduation, but it was the first time my skills were ever acknowledged. Like, sure, I’m smart, I have to be to be in this school, but so is everyone else around me, and lots of them are smarter. But the win was pure me.

Benji: I’m not giving up any childhood memories of my sister. I don’t care if that’s cheating. I’ll fight you.

[indecentpause]

Dona and Pascal. <3

Imagine Person A finding Person B attractive because they’re so. Fucking. Smart.

[indecentpause]

Happy M&G Monday!! I hope you're well 🌟 How would your characters react to knowing that someone is lying to their face?

cw: drugs

Pascal: Well... I guess it’s only fair, considering I lie as much as I do. Or, well, withhold certain information. It’s probably private, and if they don’t want me in their business, that’s their... well, business. I’m probably not going to talk to them much anymore, though.

Dona: I suppose it depends on the situation. If it involves me or someone I love or something that affects me, I want the truth. But people generally have a reason if they lie.

If they do it repeatedly, however, I will call them out, in front of people, to cause the maximum amount of possible embarrassment.

Mitch: Okay, but, hear me out. Pascal’s been my roommate for three years and all I know is what he’s majoring in and where he’s from. Well, and limited information about his experiments. We have an understanding. I don’t ask, he doesn’t share. If it was, like, Benji or someone, though, I’d be pissed! Pascal is just a secretive and personal guy by nature, so that’s his deal, but Benji is open about most things, and if I caught her lying to me it’d fucking infuriate me. But, y’know, being a drug dealer, of course she lies. Just. Hopefully not about anything important.

Benji: There are a lot of liars in my line of work. Some lies are appropriate. Some get people hurt. It just depends on whether those people are mine or not, how I’ll react. Do what you do, friendo, but the moment it starts hurting me, I start hurting you.

[indecentpause]

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! How would characters respond to being asked to do something they CAN do but dont WANT to do (like coming to work on their day off, or helping someone move furniture, where they're technically able but would very much rather not)

Eep! Sorry I’m a day late, I was barely at home yesterday and every time I try to answer asks on mobile they get deleted. XD

Pascal would just. Meekly do it. No arguments, no complaints. He might grumble to Mitch or Benji later on, but he’d just get it done.

Mitch would do it if you provide free food, otherwise he’d be ‘too busy, sorry.’

Benji would remember it until she needed something from you, then she’d call that shit in.

Dona... it depends on how close he is to the person and how dirty he’ll get. If it’s for someone he cares about or at least likes well enough, he’ll do it but more end up organizing than actually doing physical work. If he doesn’t like you, he doesn’t care, and you can figure it out on your own.

Thank you for the ask! :D

[indecentpause]

I'm not sure if I sent you an ask for TT before Tumblr decided I couldn't send more, so in case I didn't, here's the question :D What was their first date, or what was their most memorable date? Did it go right or was it a disaster?

No, you did not, and I am HAPPY to tell you all about Dona and Pascal’s most memorable date, since their first one is a big plot point in the next chapter :D

cw: drugs

It was rainy. Neither of them mind rain, but they were initially planning on going to one of the nearby parks and just walking around and taking photos for Dona to practice sketching later. Dona didn’t want his camera damaged so instead they went to the local art school to wander around the student gallery.

Sounds nice enough so far, right? Maybe not what they were planning, but still nice.

By this point, Pascal had done some experimenting with LSD, to the point where if he cracked his neck, sometimes it would release buildup to give him a small high/rush. He didn’t do it on purpose, but when he was stretching his shoulders, pop! He felt it and his eyes shot wide open, and Dona noticed Pascal flinch, and knew immediately what was happening. He pulled Pascal gently into a small alcove around the corner of the room they were in, but Pascal was already skull deep in a mild, but pleasant, trip. It was pretty gentle compared to his usual trips, but of course Dona was still concerned, but Pascal was like hell yeah. Pascal likes art, especially sculpture, but seeing the displays warp and shift and interact was incredible. The colors! The wild styles! AND THERE WAS A DALI EXHIBIT HOLY SHIT

Pascal was grinning like a loon and spent almost the entire time trying to muffle his laughter at how wild everything was. Dona was... he knows about Pascal’s experiments but it was still a little annoying. Dona gets it, though, and knew Pascal wasn’t doing it on purpose. Eventually Dona dragged Pascal out of there and into a local cafe, one that was relatively quiet so Pascal could calm down.

Dona basically nursed Pascal through the trip (well, more like babysat to make sure he didn’t do anything dumb) and then they went back to Dona’s place and made vanilla black tea and had orange scones the nice old lady downstairs made for them!

Thanks for your ask! :D

[indecentpause]

Kong Yok. It’s Kong Yok by far. He doesn’t even want to try, the only people he wants to talk to are his siblings, Gabriel, and JD. He just. Doesn’t understand why people want to talk to each other all the time? Like. Shut up for once? 

Pascal is pretty awkward, too, in a more typical ‘how do people’ way.

Which OC is the most awkward?

[indecentpause]

Tender Tuesday ask - Tell me what's the easiest way for your protag's partner to calm them down! (Free pick which WIP you want to talk about. :>)

Dona can chill Pascal out with as little as a hand brushing against Pascal’s elbow.

It takes a while to get there, because Pascal was touch-averse for a long time, because most touch was generally violent touch, but as soon as his body started to chill out and get used to the idea, first through his best friend Mitch, that no, some touch is good! Pascal was still wary but more receptive. By the time Dona came into the picture, Pascal was pretty okay with very casual platonic touch.

But Dona is special. Dona’s touch is soft, and loving, and relaxing, and safe. Pascal’s favorite place to be is head in Dona’s lap with Dona playing with his hair, and that’s also the quickest way to calm him down. :3

And, well, that’s good, because Pascal needs a LOT of calming down throughout the story. >:3

[indecentpause]

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! How would your characters answer the question "So what do you like to do for fun? Any interesting hobbies, or...?"

Pascal fumbles around a little, looking for something to do with his hands, but the only thing he has on him is his phone, and it’s rude to mess with your phone when someone’s asking you a question. So instead he shoves his hands in his pockets, bites the inside of his cheek, and finally mumbles, “I like, uh, space and stuff. I’m planning on going into astronautical engineering. I want to see everything, so badly, and I’m not strong enough to go up myself, so... I want to send up telescopes, and rovers, and ships, and learn whatever I can while staying behind on Earth.”

He pauses, then lights up. “I just started scaling down the Mars Curiosity rover and I’m adjusting the numbers so I can build one of my own. I’d never get it off the ground without a team, but I want to see how far I can get. Maybe I can... I don’t know, make a layout of the outside university grounds. There’s hills and trees and stuff. That would be pretty cool!”

He’s talking a little too fast now, and his hands are out of his pockets, moving erratically. He finally seems to notice, and he shrinks back.

“Sorry,” he says with an embarrassed chuckle. “I just get really hyped up about space and robotics.”
