NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!On the morning of Black Friday, November 24th, 2023, all Negaverse tablets received the following message: Quote: If you would like to participate in a Holiday Gift Exchange, fill out the form below and respond to General Aquamarine via tablet (I do not want you people crowding my office) by Thursday, November 30th at 11:59PM. You will receive notice ( via tablet) of your intended recipient and information related to their likes and dislikes over the following weekend. Gifts should not be excessive. Try to keep them around or below $25. Since some of you can’t seem to manage yourselves, all gifts should be exchanged by the end of December. If I hear you’ve slacked off and your recipient hasn’t received their gift yet, I will personally kick your a**. (I have been required by General King Jet to say that this is an exaggeration, but know that I will not rest until you have been appropriately shamed.) Any questions should be directed to General Aquamarine ( VIA TABLET). [align=center][size=14][color=#FF0800][b]Happy Holidays[/b][/color][/size][/align]

NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!There was nothing odd about that night. Everything was peaceful. The sky was clear. For all intents and purposes, it was a normal night. Unseen to the people of Earth, something rippled across the great expanse of the universe. Inevitably, it washed over each and every world on its way to Earth, and then, like all worlds before it, it washed over Earth, too. The effects were unseen, at first. Maybe in the hours before its arrival, the powered Order population of Destiny City might have noticed an odd fluctuation in their magical abilities. Maybe they found a bit of resistance when they tried to power up, maybe their magic was somewhat uncooperative, maybe they couldn’t sense energy signatures. For Senshi, the effects were somewhat fleeting–minimal, even. For Knights, it lingered. It clung to them, like a wet blanket slowly getting heavier. It is difficult to power up or down, difficult to sense energy signatures, difficult to summon their weapon. Sometimes their weapon manifests in odd or misshapen forms, or is so brittle that it shatters or melts upon impact. Magic pools might seem to run out quickly, or the manifests of the magic might backfire or behave erratically. Summons are unresponsive and aspects don’t seem to work at all. Worse, it is impossible to travel to their Wonders. It is as if the entire Wonder is on lockdown, keeping everyone out. On the surface, nothing seems amiss. Just beneath it, something seems very wrong. Quote: On the evening of March 26th, a brief magical anomaly passed over Earth and was noticeable by all powered Order individuals. What is a brief and passing inconvenience for most of them is not as such for the Knights, who will notice that these anomalies carry over across the next week. Something has gone very wrong and there’s no telling what it is. With no way to get to their Wonder, it’s impossible to investigate. In one week, starting on Tuesday, April 2nd, there will be an ORP for Knights to convene and discuss this. The ORP will ICly take place on the evening of the 2nd, but OOCly will last for about a week before Knights can access a follow up quest with the ability to unlock new features for the faction. Questions can be sent to The Space Cauldron but more information will be available when the event goes up! Knights who have plots that occur specifically between the IC dates of March 26th and April 2nd do not need to participate in this if it disrupts their existing plans, but they will not be able to participate in the rest of the event if they are not affected. Not being affected ICly is not an indication of any superiority or extra resilience. Please PM The Space Cauldron if you have ongoing plots you want to work around while still participating and we will do our best to work with you!

NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!After a meeting on the Moon, the Code has tasked all Knights to visit their Wonders and resonate with the Code pieces there. A strange disruption with great magical power seems to have afflicted the magical connection between Knight, Code Piece, and Wonder, but this should be easily resolved with a bit of time and patience. Knights will still notice anomalies with their magic, but now–with a blessing from the Cornerstone Code Piece on the Moon–they have the ability to break through the magical barrier guarding their Wonders. Wonders may look a bit worse for wear, as though some great storm came through. The worst of it can be found near the Code Piece, where it may look like a small bomb went off, or like an earthquake ruptured beneath the Code, or as if a tornado came through the area. The damage is generally superficial, but it’s clear that whatever happened here was powerful. The Code piece may appear faded and as if it is weakening, it may be swirling violently and chaotically, or it may seem to struggle to keep form and have an erratic pulse. To properly calibrate and resync, a Knight must find some way to get in tune with their Code piece. Often this is through meditation, but it may also occur through some spiritual or meaningful ritual to the Knight or Wonder. This typically takes at least an hour; the Knight will often enter a powerful trance and may find themselves deeply immersed in memories that do not belong to them. They may be intense memories of their past life or even their Ancestor’s memories. They may also witness a major event that occurred on their Wonder as if it were through an omnipotent viewer. When they come out of their trance, they will find that their Code piece seems to have returned to normal, as has their magic. The damage done to their world during the incident can also have been healed. Knights who do not visit the Code piece will continue to have difficulties operating their magic until the event concludes. Quote: Players participating in this prompt must post in this thread to unlock a new feature with reduced requirements. More information can be found in that thread! This prompt will be open until ~6PM EST on Sunday, April 21st and players must write at least 500 words. A memory unlocked during this event can be incredibly detailed, but we ask players to please contact The Space Cauldron if the memory may touch on meta locations (such as for Moon Knights). Memories should not utilize meta lore and should not use other player’s characters or lore without permission. If a Knight takes a guest with them to their Wonder, their guest may either remain conscious while their companion is in a trance or be subject to view the memory or parts of it. This is considered a special trip to their Wonder outside of their normal traveling cooldowns.

Strange things are happening in Destiny City…
Something big is on the horizon. We have a few prompts available to play with. Some of these are faction specific but can be used as inspiration for cross faction RP. If you have any questions about anything, please reach out to The Space Cauldron! These prompts will be active for a few weeks; we’ll have an event within the next few weeks so please make use of them while you can! The [STORMBREAKER] Faction Information Databases has also been made available for characters to log information, so please check out that thread for more information! If responding to these prompts, please post in the Event subforum! Please label RPs [SB-S] for solos, [SB-R] for regulars, and [SB-B] for battles. Quote: On the evening of Friday, February 21st, Destiny City was hit with a strange storm. Dark clouds hung over the city all day but it wasn’t until later in the evening that the storm erupted. The lightning was near constant and erratic, sometimes silent and sometimes loud and booming. The skies turned an odd shade of purple during the storms. The city had been expecting storms but this was something beyond their imagination. The air was dense, thick with a strange energy. Energy gathering characters might have noticed that they had increased gains, as if it were possible to gather energy from the air itself in addition to their intended target. Lightning struck almost constantly, and Destiny City reported a number of minor damages. The storm lasted for only about half an hour before it seemed to burn itself out. Scientists have attributed the strange colorations to light pollution and a chemical reaction. Reports say there’s nothing to worry about. Maybe you know better. Quote: Strange electrical storms are not observable only from Earth; their effects can be felt on other worlds as well. While these are most common, and typically worse, on locations within the Milky Way galaxy, all worlds may find strange, purple, electrical storms in the great distance–or maybe close enough to their world that it seems to take up the whole sky. The storms may come and go and their presence is somewhat unpredictable, as if the initial storm sometimes results in residual anomalies. The lightning storms are mostly similar to those on Earth, however the clouds have an intense purple color and, if the storms are close enough, there is an extreme increase in static that can cause small shocks. Being in the vicinity of any of these storms may result in notable magical anomalies; characters may have difficulties teleporting to or from their worlds, may have warped, weakened, or unpredictably strong magic, may not be able to summon their weapon/summon/cosmic companion. Electronics or magical wards may malfunction, and personal items or permanent items may exhibit strange effects. Guests will have similar issues if visiting an afflicted world. Mauvians may find that they are unable to keep to a single form and may randomly alternate between Humanoid, Mauvian, or even Senshi form. Characters may find it difficult to stay powered up. Vanguardian weapons and youma magic may randomly discharge. The storm affects all characters, regardless of faction. Civilians will often feel dizzy or lightheaded and may even pass out. The storms can cause exhaustion and some characters may pass out. It is possible to be struck by lightning if the storm is close enough; it will leave a brief winding mark that looks like a snake crawling over the damaged skin. The lightning can knock someone unconscious but it cannot kill or do permanent damage; all effects fade within a few hours. Order characters can report all information to this databaseQuote: Laurelite herself has sent out an emergency notification across all Negaverse Tablets. For the foreseeable future, all energy gathering quotas have been adjusted to align with new objectives. We are aware of an off-world situation that may impact Earth. Metallia has directly advised we do what we can to prepare for the situation. I am in conference with the Vanguardians for additional information and will be preparing a full report for all agents in the near future. There is no reason for alarm; Metallia has the utmost faith in our capabilities. However, as a precaution we will be operating under adjusted expectations as we navigate our involvement. Our information has indicated that the White Moon may have access to information not otherwise obtainable to us. All agents are approved to use whatever means necessary to extract information but you are requested to forego unnecessary hostilities until we have determined what information our enemy has access to. Be vigilant and know your limits. Please ensure you are filing reports after every interaction. Secrecy will be misconstrued as treachery. Do not unnecessarily fraternize. This is a mission and should be handled with the utmost care. Information should only be shared outside of the Negaverse if absolutely necessary. Send all questions to me and I will direct them as needed. As always, your efforts are appreciated and will be rewarded. Characters should not expect to disobey Laurelite’s command without repercussion; if your character is not expected to follow orders, please PM The Space Cauldron prior to acting on this ICly to ensure that you are comfortable with the necessary punishment! Negaverse Agents should report all information to this database. Quote: While mirrors themselves are common in Mirrorspace, seeing more than your reflection is not. As such, the sudden recurrence of large mirrors, sometimes giant in scale, would have been notable enough even if they weren’t also depicting a clear view into distant space. These mirrors display both the beauty of space, and the horrors; characters may find views of worlds that appear alive and well, or sparkling stars or swirling galaxies, but they may also find what appear to be husks of worlds–dried out and withered. Great black holes. Debris. Maybe even the floating carcass of some strange, unidentifiable creature*. It is as if they are looking out of a spaceship window, watching the universe go by. It is impossible to walk through these mirrors; any attempt to do so may result in feeling a strange electric hum, or small to large shocks or sparks depending on how intense the attempt is. The mirrors have a great deal of energy and wraiths will often be seen gathered around them or draining energy. However, the strain is immense and these mirrors often crack under the pressure. Once broken, the view disappears and the mirror reverts to shards of glass. *Please PM the Space Cauldron before describing anything specifically; this information is used as a starting point and if using as a vague backdrop that does not need approval, but if you are describing anything in particular, please just reach out first so we can approve everything!Dark Mirror Senshi can report all information to this databaseQuote: All Vanguardians receive a message from Lyndin noting the following: Velencya has been monitoring a strange disturbance for the last few weeks. It has recently appeared on their radar and is traveling in an unpredictable path. It does not follow any logical trajectory so intentions cannot be determined. This is not presumed to be an inorganic object. They have withdrawn all Vanguardians back to base and will be relocating to a safer location. They will transmit further details as they become available but the Council has advised to be on high alert. All mission and personal projects should be deprioritized while we investigate this situation. Please report any information over ComTech. We will assess the situation in the near future to determine course of action. Please stay alert. The message also includes the data transmitted from Velencya; much of the information is inconclusive but highly concentrated energy bursts are appearing erratically, as if something is phasing in and out of the area. Notably, it is manifesting nearer to the solar system with each new reading, and each new manifestation is almost exactly the same distance as the last one. Vanguardians should report all information to this databaseIf you have questions or ideas about what information can be discovered during any investigation, please PM The Space Cauldron or message Xigglet on Discord! Characters do not need approval to discover the information already outlined in the appropriate faction-specific prompt, but if your character plans to investigate something in more detail or outside of those parameters, please reach out so we can discuss details! Please also reach out if you have questions about what your character can investigate, who they can talk to, or where they can go!

Stormbreaker Announcements:We are nearing the end of this stage of the event! Pending a few variables, we are expecting to move into the next part in a little more than a week! Event prompts will need to ICly take place before we move into the next event so if there’s anything you’d like to do, please make sure you don’t miss the window to do so! Similarly, if you have any NPC requests, please make sure to send them in ASAP! NPC tags should come at least once per day but RPs may not finish before we move into the next part of the event.
However, you can still make a post in the Faction Information Database as soon as a post has been made to uncover information; please don’t wait until an RP has finished! If more information is uncovered in that RP, you can simply make another post and we’ll update the information! Anyone who has contributed information to the Faction Information Database can claim one Crown Token! Players can only claim one Crown Token regardless of how many characters contribute to the database, but everyone is encouraged to update the database with any information their characters would have ICly shared. Please make sure to log your Crown Token by claiming in this thread!
Additionally, we have a few more things to participate in during these last few days!
Each faction has a new thread they should check out! These threads utilize an RNG system and reward for Event RP participation! New prompts have been posted within each thread to correlate with this update!
We’ll have more information in the near future. The Faction Information Database will be updated over the weekend to compile all event information in one place and we’ll make a small announcement in Discord when we’ve completed that. Any questions, RP requests, or plot approvals can be sent to The Space Cauldron. Character choices and actions have, and will continue, to shape how this event plays out, and will affect future plots! Please feel free to tap into your creativity!
And, above all, have fun!

It must be exhausting. Weeks, on end, looking for answers that have been lost to time or deliberately hidden. Working towards a goal that you can only hope is obtainable, with pieces of a puzzle you can’t even see.
The Calamitous Hollow is on Earth’s doorstep.
The storms are constant; they come in small intervals, anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour at a time. There’s a small pause between them, but it’s never enough for the skies to clear. The window between storms is shrinking, and sometimes, if you look closely at the clouds, it almost seems as if something is so close to pushing through them.
It’s not here.
But it will be, soon.
Five spikes, of a presumed six, have been located, but there’s no telling if they will be enough to trap the creature when it finally arrives.
The Negaverse has been collecting energy for a secret project meant to strike it down before it can lay siege to the planet.
The Crystal Tower on the Moon has pooled together the energy donated to it by all manner of Order-aligned soldiers. They poured their magic into the Crystal and hoped for a promise fulfilled.
The Dark Mirror Court found a strange ballista in Mirrorspace, crafted for them out of a desire to save their world. Even the wraiths chipped in. A grand mirror has appeared before their ballista–a view into space. They have eyes on a hazy, cloudy thunderstorm moving towards them.
And, the Vanguard, who have seen one world lost, one world dying, and Earth, the last bastion in an empty galaxy. All efforts have been directed into gathering energy. They do not want to create a weapon but they will, if they must. The prison seems to have borrowed their technology in some way but the Calamitous Hollow must be subdued before they can hope to research anything.
Weapons were not the only thing prepared; thanks to the diligent efforts of everyone, a small army of shields were assembled. They are primed and ready to launch into the atmosphere, specifically designed to defend against the Calamitous Hollow’s unique energy output.
Only time will tell if their efforts were enough. Quote: The next part of the event will open for RP on Wednesday evening! This ORP is anticipated to last through Sunday the 27th with posts occurring every 48 hours; this will ICly occur on the evening of Saturday the 12th; please be cautious about starting RPs that will ICly occur after that date, as this RP may have lasting repercussions that affect gameplay. If your character wants to share any event related information prior to entering the next stage, please make sure to post in the Faction Information Databases. While the Event RPs have been locked to new participants, if you have previously rolled for a character and complete any RPs that could count towards the RP Bonus, you may still add those. Please see the appropriate threads for more information on that!

A post-battle Vanguard ORP is now open! Stormbreaker - After the Storm [Vanguard ORP]Quote: This is an optional RP for all Vanguardian characters! You can handwave that your character was in attendance but you are not obligated to participate. This is just for information and narrative purposes. While this RP may help shape the direction of future opportunities, it is not an exclusive chance to do so. There is no posting order and no scheduled mule posts, but NPC tags should occur at least every 48 hours, or as early as possible. This RP will have a soft close in ~two weeks.

NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH! A fire recently broke out on the third floor of Prichert Parkplace apartment complex. At this time the authorities are speculating the cause to be electrical in nature as the unit was slated to be remodeled before being rented again. However other potentials causes have not yet been ruled out. Could this be insurance fraud? Faulty wiring in an old building? Another case of arson? A local reached out not long after, requesting to be contacted with any info about the current whereabouts of one Syrus Schreyer; who appears to have been the prior resident of said unit. The local man stated he'd not seen his friend since May. Upon interviewing several neighbors, it appeared as though the missing person had not been seen coming or going from the building since at least early April. NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!
