Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, March 20th. This mission will take place on Etraya, and will last roughly six weeks. As I am certain you may have noticed, there is some construction going on just outside of Etraya's border. My companion bots are working to renovate what had been the space the Labyrinth occupied a couple years prior. They are constructing a theme park, which will have four separate sections built upon different themes.

This mission will not require that you remain within the mission sphere for the entire duration. Rather, you are welcome to leave and return as you wish.

You will be given three tickets, with each ticket allowing access to a specific theme park. These tickets are free to use for the duration of the mission, and are not limited to specific days and times. Each ticket will also come with a note card, which provides five tasks you must complete within the theme park included on the ticket.

I have not yet introduced the concept of losing points, but this mission does require it in ways historical ones have not. Each note card you are given must be completed in it's entirety, otherwise you will lose twenty five points per note card not completed.

Because of this, it is imperative that you complete each note card in it's entirety.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me or my companion bots.

Thank you,
Aurora

Friendly duel, anyone?

The more challenging, the better. I want to struggle to stay on my feet.

Bonus points if you don't use a sword. Telepaths are welcome to show me what you've got as long as you know when the fight is won. I want to see where I can improve.

CHIRPER
Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:

Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya, or by other characters on behalf of their friends! This includes the Q&A section.
Characters can either like ✅ or dislike ❌ others' CHIRPER profiles. These responses are public.
This is voluntary on an OOC basis; if the character doesn't have a profile completed by themselves or anyone else, nothing shows up for them on CHIRPER.
For those who do post a top level, profiles are worth 5 extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These 5 extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here!

WHO: David Bossie and Cloud
WHERE: The chocobo farm and later the subway tunnels
WARNINGS: Violence, death

Bossie hasn't slept in two days. He's tried, but not very hard. Closed eyes here, startling awake a few minutes later. Has he taken his meds? He can't remember. Can't find them, in any case, too distracted when he looks for them to really track them down.

He thinks about going to find Harold, asking him for that potion or tonic or whatever you want to call it, the miracle that gives him dreamless sleep. But it's well past midnight by the time that thought occurs to him.

By that time he's already out walking, breathing soft behind his mask, weapons strapped to his back and waist.

He goes to the chocobo farm, a half formed idea in his head. Birds calm him. They always have. Even these weird, big, dumb chicken looking alien birds. He'll just watch them a while, and then he'll find someone.

Slit their throat. Knife to the brainstem. Easy as hell. He'll hear God then.

He creeps in slow, sticking to the darkest shadows he can find.

etraya

What's a good intro? Welcome to Etraya? Has the despair set in yet? Anyway. For those who haven't met me, my name is Dr. Robert Romano, I'm the de facto Hospital Director here.

De facto means no one's told me I'm not.

Every so often I post to ask the network if there are any other medical professionals around because I'm one surgeon from a non-magical world, and you people drop in with fairy flus and growing tentacles diseases I can't damn well fix.

So, if you're a doctor or a healer, drop in. We'll have an interview, if you're not an obvious psychopath and get a pass on ethics I'll give you an office, we got 21st century Earth medical tech and a wing to treat magical maladies.

If you're in need of a doctor, also drop in, I'll be nicer to you than to the first group.

If you're neither, what are you even doing here? Get a job. Go bag some groceries, the bots keep squishing my bread :(

Mission 13 Wrap-Up

We're trying something new with this post as a result of a few pieces of feedback we've gotten. Let us know what you think and if this is helpful! In the future, this would go up at the conclusion of missions in a more timely fashion.

Major Events on Mission 13

Characters were generally successful in documenting Mesa, and some brought back seeds and biological samples
Anyone who explored a research or terraforming plant could have discovered some substantiating information about the decline of the universe
No one pursued finding a way to save the residents of Mesa, so they are doomed along with the world itself
Dante and Vergil sparred and wrecked some grasslands, leaving a small canyon behind

Mission Forecast
Handy link to the calendar. Note that plans are always subject to change based on player interest and mod availability!

March - lighter tone, taking place in Etraya on-planet, a few darker options
May - heavy, serious, meta-plot related; off-world; characters can limit exposure to intense themes but can't avoid entirely without a mission pass (AC reward)

Until Next Time
Players are always welcome (and strongly encouraged!) to develop Etraya in between missions. Want more societal structure? Think your character needs a job? Go for it! Use this post to comment below with what your plans are for the time between missions, and see if others are interested.

We'd like to highlight that there's been a lot of activity at the Louvre, and building that up as a cultural hub might be of interest to multiple characters.

Historically, we've also had several players come to us between missions with plots they want to dig into via our plotting post! This included digging into Aurora's origins as well as asking what they could discover about Echo or the game plot as a whole via exploring around Etraya during their mission downtime. We always want to encourage our playerbase to come to us if they want something meatier to dig into, and we'll do our best to build something suitable to what you're looking for!

Genre Poll
What are you interested in seeing next? This is essentially a vibe check -- if the player base is swinging in a different direction than what we planned, we're open to changing those plans!
