EVENT 003. THE HALLOWS
the month of october brings a thinning of reality. among the logical, modern planes of ansan, one might call it a cosmic force that humans have simply yet to explain. but other times, other worlds, might call it MAGIC.
welcome to our official halloween event ! this event will run from 01. october to 31. october. it’s a bit different from previous events, because instead of a plot drop, we are creating an alternate fantasy / supernatural version of ansan called THE HALLOWS, in which the canonical hypermodern city of ansan is transforming into a troubled village at the borders between the real plane and the monstrous plane. ridden with mysterious disappearances, blighted creatures, and supernatural beings wandering in plain sight, the hallows ultimately shares ansan's fate: the world has left it behind.
participation in this event is optional. all posts pertaining to this au should be tagged as #rmnt:hallows to keep them distinct from canon. if you’d like to participate, reply to this post with the following information below the cut, and read on for more details!
OOC DETAILS.
as this event is considered an AU, anything that occurs in this alternate universe will not be considered "canon" in the rp's canon plot.
you can of course take inspiration from either versions of your muse or even carry over plots, but to avoid godmodding, please make sure to respect each other's characterizations. ex: if Muse A knows something about Muse B in this au that they don't know in canon, then Muse A's mun should respect that distinction (unless both muns plot it beforehand).
plots in this au can match / mirror plots in canon verse, but they do not have to.
there are no restrictions on what supernatural creatures or abilities your muse can have, but given the nature of some powers, please communicate with your writing partners to avoid godmodding! if your muse has supernatural powers that affect another muse's physicality, emotions, memories, dreams, anything outside of your own muse, please discuss it with the other mun first.
you can continue writing regular threads while the event runs. tag all posts related to this event as #rmnt:hallows.
continue to tag any triggers as needed.
PARTICIPATION.
if you'd like to participate, please reply to this post with the names of your participating muses, their species (can be human), and their occupation (if applicable).
additionally, we encourage everyone to make a mini intro post for this alternate version of your muse and more about their species, any distinguishing features, powers, or notable differences from their canon! you can tag this post as #rmnt:hallows. an example format you can follow:
species. either human or a supernatural species. occupation. if applicable. details. more about this version of your muse.
this is meant to be a fun seasonal event, so please don't feel pressured to structure it like a brand new intro for a new muse. you can give as much / as little detail as you'd like.
THE WORLD.
for this event, ansan will be a small village called the hallows. it is situated at the end of a dying continent, right at the edge of the sea. a magical, corrupting force called the blight has begun encroaching into the physical world, bringing monsters, demons, and other infernal creatures upon the lands.
much like with ansan, many residents of the hallows have fled to escape the approaching danger. the blight has already spread nearby and people have been disappearing for the last several years due to monster attacks . . . or worse.
although humans and supernatural creatures used to live in peace and mutual cooperation, the monster attacks have driven a wedge between them. supernatural creatures aren't compelled to hide and humans know that they exist, but with recent tensions, they've begun to look at each other with fear and distrust.
in place of the enforcer division, a mayor and a small council of elders oversees the village. a lack of a centralized law enforcement means that citizens rely primarily on each other to uphold the peace, for better or worse.
in place of kawi-makgi, there is a small fairgrounds where an autumn fair has blown in for the season, hosting small feasts and village dances.
in place of the nightrunners, there are drifters and adventurers, all with their own individual aims. some purely adventure for the thrill, while others seek fame and fortune. all kinds of adventuring jobs ( think mini quests ) are posted at the village bulletin.
in place of orbital, a tavern sits at the heart of the village, where one can find just about any kind of person, human or creature.
in place of mise-en-scène, a modest stage theater provides a variety of live entertainment, from performers to marionettists to illusionists.
in place of the old ansan observatory is a lighthouse that guides ships home…even though more of them leave every day rather than arrive.
to the west, across a vast ocean, is a new land known as astra, where many have fled for a better life.
to the east is a forest and an approaching thicket of magical darkness that blots out the sun and corrupts all life in its path. it is said that the darkness thins the barriers of reality, and that, shrouded long enough, a place can suddenly burst as a gateway for infernal creatures. this darkness hasn't reached the hallows yet, but there have already been monster sightings in the eastern forest.
feel free to take creative liberties with other locations not mentioned or even create your own. as a general blanket statement, this is a non-modern, fantasy, and supernatural verse, so flavor your locations accordingly!
for any questions, please feel free to contact the main. otherwise, have fun & i can't wait to see what you all do with your muses!

UPDATE TO ACTIVITY CHECKS
hi everyone! this is a formal announcement that for this week & onwards, the main is going to become more of a "collective" of writers, rather than a strictly regimented group. this comes after 2 months of writing with each other and going through those typical lulls in activity, where i feel like we can cut away some formalities and be able to focus on just enjoying writing. and so, the main change is that we'll no longer be enforcing weekly activity checks. instead, on the 1st of each month, i'll run through the blogroll, see who hasn't in 3 weeks or so, and just check in with whether they'd like to keep writing with us or not. if yes, perfect! you can post when you have the muse to do so. if not, no worries at all, just let me know! my main goal is to take away some of the stress of activity, since i know people (myself included) are getting busy at this time of year and rp is and always should be a fun hobby. as for the rest of the main, it will largely function the same way it has been, just maybe a little slower. i fully plan to keep accepting any reserves/apps as they come, updating the pages, posting new tasks/events/plot drops, etc (including the rest of event #002)! i started remnants because i wanted a place to write, so i'm dedicated to keeping this verse up & going for as long as there is anyone else who wants to keep writing in it too. ♡ with all of that said, i know that this is a shift from a traditional "group rp," and so please don't feel pressured to stay if you'd prefer to drop. if you would like to keep writing with us, please like this post before october 1! that'll serve as our first new check, and then we'll go on as usual afterwards. aaand that's it for now! if you have any questions, let me know. additionally, since i'm going to be gradually updating the main to reflect this change, if anyone has any updates they'd like to make to their muse(s), occupations, apps, etc, just reach out as well! technically that option is & will always be there, but i figured i'd mention it since we're already talking about changes. :')

hi & hello everyone! it's been officially a week since our opening, so we wanted to give a small update on how ACTIVITY CHECKS are going to run!
since we opened on an odd day last week, this upcoming sunday (16. july) will be a "introduction" activity check for all muses who joined between first acceptances to the end of today (thursday). any muses accepted between tomorrow and sunday will be up for next week's AC. rolling acceptances make times a bit tricky, so our activity checks will go as follows:
checks @ sundays, 9pm est.
any muses accepted between monday-thursday will be subject to the AC on the same sunday of that week. they will only need an intro to clear it. afterwards, they'll be subject to ACs as normal.
any muses accepted on a friday-sunday will roll over to the AC on the sunday of the week after. they will only need an intro to clear it. afterwards, they'll be subject to ACs as normal.
tldr: everyone's first eligible AC will be a check for intros. you'll be up for regular activity checks starting the week after.
i was trying to rig the timings a bit so that no one is pressured to ready their blog & post an intro & plot and start a thread within a couple of days, hence the monday-thursday / friday-sunday split, but we're definitely open to feedback and suggestions on it. we're also very mindful of irl, so if you can't make an AC or have any questions about when your first AC is, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll gladly help!

[EVENT 002 UPDATE] SHADOWS OVER ANSAN
CHIRRUP > FORUMS > SORT BY [LATEST] > THREAD: did anyone else get sick after the interrogation?
📌 carmine_heart (original poster): i'll keep this short since i'm still in pretty bad shape. basically a couple of days ago i went to the enforcer division for my questioning. i thought it went okay, i answered all of their questions, they were pretty nice and offered me a drink too. i went home feeling pretty good since my boyfriend confirmed my alibi that same day. but then this next morning i started to feel weird. my head felt hot and at first i thought it was a fever, but i don't know. this feels different. my head feels like it's so...full, and i haven't really been able to think properly. i feel like i'm sleepwalking. i can't tell if i'm just so stressed about this case that i'm making myself sick or what. my boyfriend says i've been acting weird. saying weird things. but it's really hard to remember the last day, much less what i said... there was a reason i wanted to post here but i can't remember now either. please can someone tell me i'm not the only one going through this?
comments. ( < page 2 of 37 > )
cerulean_scale: Maybe you caught something? There's been a cold going around since the storm. scarlet_venom: i feel it too doesnt it feel so good? ;my bed feels like clouds. i dont ever want to leave amber_tear: okay idk what all of you are talking about but personally my interview went AMAZING. it made me realize a few things about myself. i went to my best friend's house after and confessed. i feel like i'm on some kind of high. i feel fucking great!!! emerald_touch: serial killer on the loose and everyone starts literally losing their minds loooool searing_sparrow: something happened at that place. i swear. i felt fine at first too but i woke up this morning and my heart feels like it's beating out of my chest. a couple min ago i called my mom and told her some shit i've kept from her in years and i don't remember what the hell i was thinking when i wanted to do that. i barely remember the call at all its like it was someone else and i was just watching from the other side. i feel like i'm going out of my mind radiant_flame: hey (@)searing_sparrow i'm friends with OP and i went to check up on them earlier today and the way they were acting... i'm worried. can we talk offline? silver_lantern: i don't think you're sick. https://www(.)thebell(.)com/article/23-08/water-advisory-issued-foul-play-suspected-by-enforc…
THE BELL > CURRENT EVENTS > TODAY WATER ADVISORY ISSUED. FOUL PLAY INVOLVED?
❝ [11:22 KST]. the city has issued a PUBLIC DRINKING WATER ADVISORY affecting ALL public and private buildings registered to the city of ansan. no specific details have been provided yet, but the contamination is confirmed to be neither toxic nor harmful. drinking from impacted water sources can result in several days of a FEVER-LIKE CONDITION, including high temperatures, erratic behavior, and lethargy/overactivity. the city advises all citizens to AVOID CONSUMING WATER SOURCED WITHIN ANSAN, including but not limited to: tap water, bottled water of ansan origins, and potentially natural sources of water within city limits. this warning remains in effect until the city deems it safe. civil offices are already facing outcries as this advisory comes amidst a pending murder investigation, for which the enforcer division still has not resolved. multiple anonymous sources have claimed that they experienced these symptoms far earlier, however, suspecting that contamination may have began as early as the day the murder investigation was publicized . . . ❞
OOC INFORMATION.
welcome to PART II of [EVENT 002] SHADOWS OVER ANSAN!
this event will last OOC from 3. august - 17. august.
ansan's water sources have been contaminated with an unknown substance that causes anyone who drinks it to experience a hazy, fever-like condition that makes them more . . . HONEST.
to participate, simply reblog the PROMPT LIST for each participating muse and make sure your askbox is opened.
all participants are required to send at least one prompt to all other participants. you may send multiple prompts out to each muse, but at least ONE prompt should be sent OFF-ANON so that the admins can make sure everyone is participating fairly!
to avoid blogs possibly getting sh@dowbanned, try to avoid sending many prompts in a short period of time.
as this event is a pseudo honesty hour, we want to encourage the spirit of honesty! in-character, this condition makes the muse feel more feverish / nauseous / faint if they actively attempt to lie or suppress the urge for honesty. avoiding the truth can also heighten the symptoms.
conversely, giving into the honesty will grant the muse a brief feeling of relief from the symptoms.

a belated update ! i've already fixed the prompt masterlist to reflect this, but for the question prompts, you can either send the number or the question itself; the interaction prompts should just be sent as the text. i'm sorry for the initial confusion!
