Ticket Opportunities
Tickets can only be earned through Halloween Event Roleplays or Event Prompts, so you must be active in the shop if you are interested in participating in the raffle! Each roleplay will have specific instructions, so please make sure to read the rules when you are signing up! The shop will be hosting both events/ORPs as well as putting up prompts. Links to all the events will be kept in this post, and all prompts will be listed here as well! To claim a ticket, you will need to fill out the following code and post it in this thread!
[color=red][b]I AM CLAIMING A TICKET[/b][/color]
Link to thread: [link to the thread you are claiming for; if you are responding to a prompt, make sure you indicate which prompt you are responding to either in this form or the thread!]
Events/ORPsWhile each shop run ORP will have its own rules, a few general things are important to keep in mind! While players can include as many of their official characters as they want, you can only earn one raffle ticket per link. This means, regardless of how many characters you play, you being involved in a roleplay will only receive one raffle ticket. All events will be run for civilians only, so there will be no powering up! To earn a raffle ticket, you must write at least 500 words, though if you have multiple characters this can be spread out across them. Open Events:Fall FestivalClosed Events:N/A PromptsEach Prompt may only be counted towards a raffle ticket once per player. This means that if you respond to the same prompt with multiple characters, only the first one will count for a raffle ticket. We will make a small announcement any time a new prompt is put up, so check back here regularly to see if there's anything new you are interested in writing! All prompt responses must be posted in the Mini-Event subforum and can be solo, regular, or battle (if applicable!). These should be labelled [Halloween-S], [Halloween-R], or [Halloween-B]. If you are roleplay a disposable, these will not count towards any growth requirements, but if you are roleplaying with someone who has a disposable, it can still count for growth for your official character. More information on disposables can be found in the next post! To receive a raffle ticket for a prompt, you must write at least five hundred words and should include the prompt either in your first post or in the code you post in this thread to claim a ticket. Current Prompts:
Quote: October is halfway over and that means one thing: Halloween! Shops are decorating, neighbors are covering their homes in fake spiderwebs, and pumpkin patches are showing up everywhere! Some neighbors seem to be avoiding the holiday and those have become targets for a few pranks. So what are you doing to get ready for Halloween Night?
Quote: You are just getting ready to head to sleep and you're all tucked in when something catches your eye. It's a strange shape, or light, in your room. It's only there for a second, but dread immediately floods through you. It was just a shadow, right? Maybe you pulled too many all nighters? Forgot you put up that new poster and thought it was something else?
...Or was it something else?
Either way, whatever you thought you saw was only there for that fleeting moment. What did you see? How do you react?
...Are you going to be able to sleep tonight?
Quote: While you're walking home, the wind suddenly seems to change direction. It gets colder. And if you look behind you, it looks like someone's following you. There, in the distance, a shadowy black figure. If you move towards him, he seems to disappear, but once you turn around again, you can feel him watching you. No matter how far you run, no matter how fast, he always seems to be there when you look over your shoulder. Once you reach your destination and are safely inside, suddenly you can't see him anymore, and after a few harrowing moments the air seems to lift. You're safe, but...what was that all about?
Quote: For a single night, strange bats descended on Destiny City after construction disturbed their nest! They flew over Destiny City's Fall Festival and a few nearby locations, descending on the local populace and attacking anyone they could. Being bitten by these bats leaves two small marks that will itch for a few hours. Then, anyone bitten will feel exhausted and fatigued. They become extremely sensitive; skin feels like it becomes overheated in sunlight, and bright lights are painful to the eyes. The victim will feel constantly cold and hungry, no matter how much they eat or drink. They may also be prone to agitation and bouts of violence. These afflictions may last only a few hours or a few days and then suddenly disappear. Destiny City can find no explanation for the sickness, and it has been unofficially dubbed 'The Vampire Sickness'. If you were bitten, how are you handling this? Is someone you know suffering the affliction? Are you convinced it's a conspiracy or joke, and just media frenzy?
Quote: Destiny City Media is aching for some interviews following the Bat Attack; after bats attacked the Fall Festival, newspapers, news stations, and local bloggers are trying to speak to everyone in sight. They're looking for interviews, pictures, anything they can get their hands on! Are you interested in sharing your story? Your character has been invited to answer a few basic questions--where were they when the bats attacked, what happened, and how do they feel about the safety of Destiny City now? Your character can give an interview for any media they want. Or, maybe, you are the one conducting the interview!
Quote: It's a few hours before trick-or-treaters come knocking, and you've accidentally eaten all your candy for the kids! You knew you shouldn't have bought your candy a week early - and it was the good kind, too! All the stores are probably out...what are you going to do?
Quote: This is Destiny City, full of weird happenings, strange people, and one of a kind monsters. You’re used to youma, probably, even if you don’t know what they are. Trick or Treating is getting more and more dangerous every year; are you making any precautions to keeping the neighborhood kids safe? Or are you banking on carelessness to get some extra energy?
Quote: It’s Halloween. You’re expecting spooky things. Plastic insects, cotton cobwebs--these things don’t bother you. Except, there’s a huge spider, right in front of you. Or maybe it’s on you? It’s big, and fast, and has a strange marking on its backside. You’ve never seen it before, and even the internet can’t tell you what it is. Eight evil little eyes are planted on you, and judging by those little leg twitches...it’s getting ready to attack…
Quote: Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without ghost stories, but after a while, the same old stories stop being scary. It’s up to you to bring some of the horror back to Halloween! You’ve got to finish the story--and it all starts with...
‘It was a dark and stormy night…’ |

Disposables
If you don't have a character in the shop yet, that's okay! Players may use a quest character or a character they create on the spot to participate in event only roleplays and prompts. You can only roleplay your character in the Mini-Event subforum. When setting up a new thread, you must put an asterisk next to your character's name to indicate that they are not officially won. For example, you might write a solo based off of a prompt and it would be titled [Event Solo] Title [Name*]. If you are participating in an ORP, the rules may be different so please read each thread accordingly!
If you are a new member of the shop and do not have a character in the shop and want to respond to a prompt by writing either a solo or roleplay, please fill out the following form and put it in a spoiler in your first post! Even if you have filled it out for other events or threads, you must include this in every new thread you are involved in.
[b]Character’s name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/B]
[b]Personality Traits[/b]: (list 2-4 virtues and an equal number of flaws; these can be one word descriptions of each trait and do not need explanation)
[quote="The Space Cauldron"][/quote]
Remember, your character must be unawakened and human, and should be a fairly believable character. If you have questions about what might be acceptable, please contact a member of our moderator staff for answers! You can also PM the shop mule The Space Cauldron and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
If you already have a character in the shop, you should not play a disposable unless all your characters are either unplayable or cannot participate. For example, if you have a character who is currently in the hospital and could not believably be involved in anything, you could play a temporary disposable. If you only have a full-youma and cannot justify them putting on a civilian glamour to participate or the prompts do not in any way relate to them, or if you have a Mauvian who does not have a civilian glamour, you can play a disposable instead--however, you must PM the shop mule to give us a brief explanation as well as provide the character form in your PM. We just want to make sure everything checks out, so this will be a quick approval and is just to make things easier on us!
Playing a disposable in this event does not mean they will die! You can quest for these characters at a later point in time, if you so choose! Any roleplays done with characters that have not been won and arted do not count towards growth, sorry! You are still eligible for prizes or RP related rewards, though! Playing a disposable during this event does not guarantee that you will receive your character, but it's a good opportunity to get your feet wet! |

Slinky Nega by Kaori (Sketch), Shanyume (Inked), and Lady Mist (Shaded)
"Frankendoll" Senshi by Grymoire
Pluto Knight by Shanyume
"Zombie Hunter" Negaverse Agent (WIP) by Grymoire
Snake Half Youma (WIP) by Kaori (will be a collaboration with Syny)
"White Lady" Guardian Cat by KuroSyny will also be offering one full powered custom (no guardian cats or youma/half youma)! Powered characters do not get civilian art and are only guaranteed the first stage of powered art. Second and third stage art are free to grow, but you must hit requirements first! We are also offering a few other prizes--at least 5 Crown Tokens and 5 of each Growth Item (Henshin Pens, Luna-Ps, and Star Candy). In addition to these OOC prizes, we are also offering at least 10 IC item prizes! These are items that can be awarded to any one of your characters. These items are not personal items; they are one time use roleplay items. These items will be found ICly after they are won, and upon first contact with the item the character will have a brief vision of how to activate the magic as well as what the item is capable of doing ( if you like! You are free to play that your character does not experience a vision/does not know what it can do if you choose!). These items can be kept after they are used, but they will not have any more latent magic and would be merely small trinkets. These items will allow your character extra benefits for a brief period of time, so please check out what we are offering:
Quote: Crystal Flower - A small, crystal flower. It can be found growing on homeworlds or wonders, in the cracks of Mirrorspace, or in the remains within the Dark Kingdom. The crystal flowers can look like any flowers found on Earth. The stem of the flower ends in a little point and to activate the magic, the character must p***k themselves with that point. Their blood will flow up the stem and the flower petals will turn a vibrant red color before glowing faintly. The crystal immediately imbues the character with double their normal strength, speed, and hardiness for the next twenty four hours. If the flower is used while powered, the abilities still carry on to the civilian side. Once the magic fades, the flower glow does as well. The flower does not have to be kept on the person for them to feel the magic’s bonus. The flower petals will remain blood red after use and the flower can be kept as a memento.
Pearlescent Bead - A seemingly normal looking pearl that is always cool to the touch. It can be found discarded on Homeworlds, Wonders, Mirrorspace, and the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, a character must throw it hard at the ground. The pearl will not break, but upon impact will explode into a painless, odorless, pearly white smoke at the character's feet. This smoke has the ability to restore all energy immediately. It can fully restore all senshi magic, all knight magic, of all Negaverse abilities, except for fourth stage magic. It can be used to revive all drained energy and is even strong enough to revive someone from death through magical defibrillation. While it won’t heal injuries, it will give someone enough energy to stay alive for a bit longer. The effects will only work on the one person the smoke surrounds and touches. The smoke cannot be blow away from the person it surrounds. After the smoke clears, the bead can be kept as a memento.
Golden Vial - A vial, roughly the size of a finger, filled with slow moving golden liquid. The vial will always be in an unmarked pouch of any color or fabric and can be found discarded or hidden on Homeworlds or Wonders, within the depths of Mirrorspace, or within the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, you must uncork the top and drink the full dose at once. Splitting the dose will yield no effects. The golden liquid tastes sweet, but has no identifiable flavor. Once emptied, the vial will heat up and the glass will appear covered with a dozen cosmetic golden hairline fracture; the vial is not damaged in this process. Drinking this liquid guarantees that you will have some memory of a past life, regardless of your affiliation or faction. Even civilian characters will have a short memory of their past life. Only one memory may be recovered clearly, but that night you may also have vague dreams of up to three other partial memories. Mauvians can also use this but should not have memories on Mau; youma can use this item but the memories they receive should be them as a human in their most recent life. The vial can be kept as a memento.
Foggy Gem - A gem, half the size of your palm or smaller, and capable of appearing in many colors or shapes. A strange mist seems to swirl inside of it. It can be found discarded on Homeworlds, Wonders, Mirrorspace, and the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, you must press it over your heart. The fog will crystalize into a golden lightning shape mark within the gem. Once it has crystallized, the you will find yourself in a dream like haze, facing an ancestor of their bloodline. This person can either have been powered or unpowered, and can be an ancestor from this life or a past life. Any ancestor can appear, though their starseed must be currently in the Cauldron. The ancestor will appear for a short, personal conversation. No canon information or anything about the war or the Cauldron may be discussed. After ten minutes have passed, the haze will lift and you will feel as though you have just awakened from a dream. Once used, the gem may be kept as a memento.
Cracked Bone - A small piece of bone from some creature you think isn’t human. The bone looks like a miniature human femur and is roughly the size of a finger. It is faded yellow and has a crack down the middle. It can be found discarded on Homeworlds, Wonders, Mirrorspace, and the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, you must snap the bone completely in two. The bone will immediately emit a faint purple, odorless gas, glow and then bind itself back together - whole. This gas, if inhaled, has the ability to heal any and all physical injuries, including life threatening ones. It can replace missing limbs, restore lost blood, mend bones, and regrow organs. The effects cannot be divided. Only one character must inhale the majority of the smoke to feel the full power. It is not a painless action but comes with a magical painkiller to alleviate some of the pain. Depending on the injuries, the magic can take upwards of five minutes to completely heal, but can work quicker depending on how extreme the injury is. Once the magic has faded, the bone may be kept as a memento.
Trick Coin - A small, gold coin no bigger than a silver dollar. It can be found growing on Homeworlds or Wonders, in the cracks of Mirrorspace, or in the remains within the Dark Kingdom. Both sides of the coin bare the same silhouetted face, though no facial features are present. To use this item, the character must flip the coin into the air. The coin will land in their outstretched hand and will begin a glowing softly. The coin will continue to glow for the next twenty four hours. During that time, the character will find their luck has increased drastically! Only good things will happen to them for the next 24 hours, both as a civilian and powered. During this lucky day, the odds are perpetually stacked in their favor. In battle, they will find it easier to dodge and land hits, and in their civilian life the odds for what they are capable of are nearly limitless. You might not win the full lottery, but you might win big on a few scratch offs! After twenty four hours, the glow will fade and the coin may be kept as a memento.
Timeless Apple - Appears like a normal apple, though its surface seems to glitter. There is no telling how old it is, but it is still fresh. It can be found growing on a small vine on Homeworlds, Wonders, Mirrorspace and the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, the character must take a single bite of any size. Immediately after they chew and swallow, the uneaten apple will glow gold for a few seconds and then become petrified. It will be heavier now than before and would make a good paperweight. The character will feel twice as heavy and as if they are trying to move through tar. At the same time the apple gains weight, the character will feel as though they have been slightly weighted down as well. They will find that their body is more resistance to all forms of attacks. Physical blows lose half their power, and magic is extremely dampened. Attacks with weapons won't even break the skin. The effects last twenty four hours and will remain if the character is in civilian form or powered. The apple does not have to be kept on the person for them to feel the magic’s bonus. Once the magic fades, the apple's glow does as well. The petrified apple will retain its beautiful luster and weight, and can be kept as a memento.
Tigerstriped Feather - A feather roughly the size of an adult human hand, it seems to be from some unidentifiable avian creature. It can be found forgotten on Homeworlds, Wonders, in the depths of Mirrorspace and the Dark Kingdom. To use this item, the feather must be held over the user’s eyes. Once in place, the feather will flash a golden yellow then return to normal. When the feather is removed, the holder will find they have been transported to the location related to them (Senshi to their Homeworld, Knights to their Wonder, Dark Mirror Senshi to Mirrorspace, Corrupts and Negaverse Agents to the Dark Kingdom). The feather gives the user one additional trip to the location without draining them of the energy needed to get there or get back. It also allows first stage chaos players the ability to travel once without assistance. Mauvians can be teleported to their bonded Senshi's homeworld or the Mauvian Headquarters in Destiny City, and youma can teleport directly to any location in the Rift. The feather provides round trip transportation, and once the character is back in Destiny City it loses all magical ability. It can be kept as a memento.
While these items are not intended for meta or event use, they are available for personal RP use (and if you would like to use them during an event, you should PM either the player running the event or the shop mule if it is a shop event!). To use the item you will need to quote The Space Cauldron and in the post that the item is being used in and let us in the quote just so we can keep a record of it!
More prizes may be added as the month progresses!
Winning Procedures
After the tickets have been compiled into a list, rolling will begin on sometime Friday, the 28th! This will be done publicly, in this thread, and winners will have 72 hours to send a preference list to the shop mule, The Space Cauldron.
