Welcome to January's Plot Calendar—our very first one!

Please only take one volunteer spot for the first 24 hours; after that, it's all fair game. Department-wide and Mission spots don't count towards your limit. Think of all volunteer spots as prompts to get your character interacting with other characters.

Missions will be explained in the comments of this post.

Welcome to the Adventure Society!

As the sun sets, all player characters arrive via teleportation (or a different method of their choosing) and are subject to a very boring orientation session from Jameson Standards.

RAFAEL NARVAEZ nods off and misses the info about their new bonus ability, then winds up scaring the bejeezus out of themselves when they randomly discover it later.

LEEDS and AINSLIE GREY are the first to retire to their new apartments—LEEDS' is just right and uncannily decorated to their personal tastes. AINSLIE GREY, meanwhile, is horrified to discover theirs is decorated like REAGAN HOE. LEITH SINCLAIR discovers their apartment is covered in Squishmallows. All players can choose their own decor or generate a random aesthetic here. Thanks, Hippolyta Pottebaum!

BRACKEN HEMMING and [VOLUNTEER 6] try out their new powers on each other and are the first to discover the Healing department as a result. BOWDRIE FENN has to treat them, despite just having gotten here themselves.

Everyone is invited to dinner with Cadmus Scantlebury later in the night (IC/OOC).

Tuesday, January 16th

Characters have a half-day of more mandatory orientation sessions in their new respective departments, then are free to get themselves settled and explore for the remainder of the day.

Wednesday, January 17th

It's the first day in KNOWLEDGE, and already the Head Astrologist has declared that from henceforth, ALL Wednesdays should be funny hat day. BRODERICK BEST is less than enthused.

Thursday, January 18th

BEATRICE BAILEY's pet disappears down a small hole in their apartment. Where does it go? Somehow, it reappears hours later in ASHER SIMON's apartment, much to their surprise.

Friday, January 19th

It's Friday night! DARCY suggests everyone goes clubbing.

Saturday, January 20th

A good day to go check out some local points of interest.

Sunday, January 21st

JIAYUAN helps Drake Ogershok get his hand unstuck from a magical vending machine, and he tells them a secret about HQ.

🧭 Monday, January 22nd

First mission! Two rival ghosts who haunt Casa Loma are having roommate squabbles. Both ghosts (unbeknownst to one another) have hired Society members to evict one another after a ghastly disagreement. Your mission is to break into the castle and expel one ghost, or convince them both to get along. VELVET VESPERTINE and JIAYUAN opt to be rival team leads and turn it into a competition. Winner takes all.

Tuesday, January 23rd

HEALING DEPARTMENT gets a free pizza lunch, just because.

🧭 Wednesday, January 24th

It's Hump Day and there is a camel wandering around a conference room for unknown reasons.

🌕 Thursday, January 25th

It's a Full Wolf Moon! Any shapeshifters affected are treated to a gift basket containing things they would presumably enjoy during a full moon (all-natural bison jerky, some antler chews, a big fluffy doggy bed, and a very tough squeaky toy).

Friday, January 26th

MOFF MANN, while out for a walk, finds themselves followed by a random human teenager. The Hot Topic goth stalks them for 5 blocks before getting bored and leaving them alone.

🧭 Saturday, January 27th

Mission 2! BUDDY OUTLAW tries to recruit people for the mission they've waited their whole lives for: a small town needs their help to put on the greatest talent show anyone has ever seen, or a finicky dragon will reduce it to ash. Attention all former theatre kids (or anyone else with talent they want to show off)!

Sunday, January 28th

NOEL BAXTER hears a very high-pitched noise that only those with enhanced senses can hear, and asks CURIO to help them get to the bottom of it before they lose their mind.

Monday, January 29th

Everything at HQ smells like flowers today! Unfortunately, some folks are allergic so there's a lot of sneezing going on.

Tuesday, January 30th

ADRIAN FLYTE is trying to find a conference room but keeps finding other random rooms instead. One of them contains a mysterious egg.

Wednesday, January 31st

CYPRIEN DU VOY receives a Cease & Desist letter via raven that was supposed to have been delivered to Cadmus Scantlebury. Hmm.
