🚨 Emergency Quest 🚨

Going Gorgon

A massive monster has been spotted in the Jungle of Judgement (Summer Segment). It has been feeding on the native fauna and even people! It looks like a giant snake lady with wings. Some have identified it's name to be "Gorgon". We can't have this monster feeding on everything that comes even close to the area of the Jungle its at, so we need people to take care of it! We will pay 2000 Moon Coins for your efforts of somehow solving this problem - may it be destroying the monster or just getting it leave!

OOC: This is a player made quest that won't last for two months. More information on it in this post. To suggest a quest, please leave a comment on the Player Suggestions page.

City Quests

Even in your city... quests! [ Click to Expand ]

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Blind Cooking	Local TV channel is looking for participants for a new type of reality cooking show. In the show one person is blindfolded and the other is giving them instructions. This is very much a trust building exercise for the participants, as well as entertaining for the viewers. Of course, any and all injuries will be healed by a team of specialists on set.	Upon entering the set the producers will do a spell that will determine how well the two people know each other. The closer they are the less likely they'll be allowed to work together. The goal is to find people who barely know each other to take a leap of faith in cooking. Of course the spell can be fooled by keeping your thoughts neutral about the other person while it's being cast.	500 Moon Coins, a free self made meal
Emotional Art	Amberfall artists have set up giant blank canvases all over the districts (even in Frostreign) with plenty of different painting tools (brushes, spray cans etc). The task is to paint with your positive emotions and make pictures that radiate with positive energy. The tools and canvases are all magical so trying to enforce negative emotions into the paintings will lead to the paint disappearing once it's been on the canvas for a while. These works of art are meant to uplift the spirits of the citizens and just let people have fun with painting.	Characters may learn an instant spell for cleaning their clothes from paint (and only paint) while they're participating in this quest or can be provided with overalls. Occasionally the paintings will be changed to a new blank canvas to give people more room to paint, but the "finished" canvases can be found from various places in the city.	100 Moon Coins, a watercolor set, watercolor paper
On a Magic Carpet Ride	The Research Center is always looking for fun new ways to travel. Now they are looking for people to test out the newest ones. It's a magic carpet meant to be ridden by two people. One of them powers up the carpet by singing (anything goes, even songs thought up on a whim) and the other steers the carpet. The test drivers are asked to complete a course where they need to pick certain items throughout the city and then return back to the Research Center.	You are free to come up with simple items (fruit, special tokens, stamps - anything that won't be too heavy to carry) for the course. If the character in charge of singing stops, the carpet will gently float down to the ground (or whatever is beneath it) until singing continues again.	700 Moon Coins
Pipe Express	Mysterious turquoise pipes have appeared all around the city. Some natives have entered them out of curiosity and ended up in a completely different place. Turns out they're warp pipes, a new way of fast travel! However, some of the warp pipes have an extra challenge that will take them to either a grassy terrain where you get chased by small dinosaurs that breathe fire or a pool with fish called Toe Nibblers. Some have even found just a room with a bunch of gold coins! Please help us label all of the pipes and where they might lead.	Fire Breathing Dinosaurs are the size of a house cat and can look like various different dinosaur species. Toe Nibblers are various fresh water fish that nibble on people's toes and aren't generally very dangerous. There's 1/10 pipe chance to end up in either of the enemy pipes and there's 1/50 chance to drop into a room full of gold coins.	300 Moon Coins
Undercovered CW: Gang Activity	After the opening of the Underground Mall, there has been an increase in criminal activity and shady people, especially in the center district. The police are very understaffed, so we're asking otherworlders to go undercover and infiltrate these crime groups (but only those on the surface). Any information provided is important and will help towards making the city a safe place to be in.	You're free to come up with different motivations, reasons and plans the minor crime groups may have and use the local Law Enforcement to bring them down with the help of your character. Some groups will hand out simple flower pins (imagine small, like hair accessories) to characters out of trust towards them.	2000 Moon Coins, possible flower pin

Winter Segment

Lights, Snow, Quests [ Click to Expand ]

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Invisible Maze	Throughout the Winter Segment, invisible walls have appeared. These walls form a maze and occasionally one finds themselves stuck in an invisible dead-end. They're very hazardous and make traveling in the Segment difficult. We ask that you find whatever is causing this maze to exist.	Passing through the maze will lead to finding an invisible Mime Monster (a bipedal, masked ermine creature). Once the characters reach the Mime Monster it will turn visible and attack. All its attacks are invisible but you can predict what they are by participating in a game of pantomime. The Mime Monster doesn't need to be killed if you show it a pantomime it can't solve.	400 Moon Coins
Just Around the Riverbend	The rivers and lakes of the Winter Segment are flooding due to giant monstrous Snow Beavers making dams all over the place. These beavers are the size of human teenagers and their coat looks like powder snow. You don't have to kill the beavers, just get rid of their damn dams!	Snow Beavers usually travel in groups of four and make dams on any watery surfaces. The dams are strengthened with ice, but shouldn't be too hard to destroy; it's just that there's a lot of them and the Snow Beavers will try to bite anyone who attacks the dams.	600 Moon Coins
Snowed Out	The Summer Districts want to make ice and snow sculptures in the city to cool the areas a little bit. To accomplish this, special snow and ice need to be delivered from the Winter Segment. Any snow and ice that glitters like the northern lights under sunlight will be perfect for the task as it won't melt. Bring as much of it back as possible.	Sleds and other means of transport are provided for the task. Snowmobiles can be rented to pull sleds easily through the snow.	200 Moon Coins
Yet We Must Fight	A group of Giant Yetis have emerged from the forests of the Winter Segment, looking to destroy anything in their paths. They have weapons made out of wood that they use to hit opponents with. They've been making steady progress towards the City Barrier, attracted by the masses of people inside it. We believe the barrier will hold, but the natives would likely get spooked if they saw them banging on the barrier so chasing them away is important.	The Giant Yeti max height is 6 metres / 20 feet. They don't have any other abilities other than their size and their wooden weapons. Killing them is optional, they just need to be chased out. Usually by fire.	900 Moon Coins

Spring Segment

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Cats Need Catnip Badly	Local animal shelters have run out of cat- (and other creature-) nip due to not being able to visit the Creature-Nip Meadow regularly for the past two months (due to a certain quest). Now they want to fill their storage with as much of the herbs as possible.	Eating or otherwise ingesting the various herbs in the Meadow may turn people into the creatures they're meant for (cat nip -> cat). At the least they will make the person act like said animal for a few hours.	200 Moon Coins
Farming Life	The Research Center has provided barrier stones. These stones can be used to protect farming plots where you can grow various vegetables and herbs. The barriers don't protect them from normal animals, but they do protect them from various natural disasters and monsters. Place these barrier stones around the various abandoned farming plots and maybe get into farming yourself!	The barrier stones only cover plots of 5 x 5 kilometres / 3 x 3 miles. There can be multiple next to each other. Various vegetable and herb seeds are also provided by the quest givers.	200 Moon Coins, fresh vegetables/herbs later
Movie Inspirations	A movie producer needs references for a fight scene and wants people to defeat local Spring monsters in the flashiest way possible and get it on camera. Camera provided, of course, with enough film for four different takes.	Any Spring Segment monsters in particular will do the trick (even slimes). Cameraman safety is not guaranteed during the quest and they may have to tend to themselves.	100 Moon Coins per clip
Panda Picking Season	It's the time of the year when Giant Pandas tend to feast on the Bamboo Labyrinth in large parties. This is a necessary cycle to keep the labyrinth in good shape. However, the panda babies tend to run off. Please protect them and bring them back to their parents. The grateful mama pandas will give characters golden bamboo shoots they find from the ground as a reward.	Golden Bamboo Shoots are a special type of bamboo that will upgrade the Spring Power Holder powers when added to regular food. If a non-spring holder eats it they will just feel a lot lighter for a few days. It also tastes delicious. Please refrain from taking the baby pandas away from their parents. If you must adopt a panda, adopt the whole family at least!	Golden Bamboo Shoots

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
All These Mummies CW: Mummies, Skeletons, Mind Control	Areas near the Deserter's Desert have recently seen an increased amount of Mummies. They have certainly appeared from out of nowhere (or from sand, we suppose). They're a menace... but not in a fatal way. Instead they're trying to wrap bandages around people to turn them into them. The bandages do have a 1/50 chance to actually make someone completely act like a mummy (walking in a trance, wrapping bandages around people) that can be canceled by taking the bandages off. They should be dealt with as soon as possible.	The mummies are otherwise mostly harmless, but the Research Center would appreciate if someone captured a few of them so they could study them! Actual mummies have skeletons underneath all the bandages but nothing else. If they're stripped off their bandages they will comically cover their genital area and run away.	300 Moon Coins
It's Raining ... Fire CW: Burns	The Summer Segment is a place where it rarely rains outside the Rain Jungle, and when it does rain it can be something other than your regular water. Like fire. Recently observational team has noticed fire raining down from the skies. The source seems to be Wyverns circling in the skies (their scales, when falling, turn into fire). Put out the fires before they spread too far and dodge the unpleasant rain.	The Wyverns can be fought, but they're danger level 10 and even killing one is a very, very hard task, especially since they're cloaked in Dark Energy most of the time.	400 Moon Coins
Pirates of the Great Lake	Mysterious ships have made an appearance on the Great Ocean Lake: ghost ships and pirate octopi ships. They're disturbing all life on the lake, throwing explosive and other things into it. The Research Center has provided ships that can be taken to the waters and some pirate outfits to fit the theme (optional). Destroy the enemy ships and restore peace to the lake!	Ghost Ships are ships that don't seem to have any members onboard (or they can only be seen by the Winter holders). Pirate Octopi are octopi with eyepatches (and some even have mechanical tentacles in place of normal ones). The ships rarely fight each other but they don't consider each other allies either.	700 Moon Coins
❗High Risk Quest❗ La Va Land CW: Burns	New creatures are emerging from the Lava-Ridden Land. Monsters made completely out of lava and rocks and are slowly making their way towards the segment and burning their way through everything. They're especially headed for the airship station, though we are unsure if they'll be able to cross the Forever Fall, but we don't want to risk them actually passing through it. Defeat them, however it takes or chase them back beyond the barrier.	Lava Monsters are extremely dangerous and will burn anything they touch. They're closely shaped like slime and other blobs, making hard to tear apart as they will just reform themselves. Their weak point is the lava core, lodged deep inside their bodies. Breaking the core means the lava creature will dissolve.	8000 Moon Coins

Autumn Segment

Maple scented Quests [ Click to Expand ]

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Leaf Me Alone	Majority of the autumn leaves have turned magical and have started to cause people to fall into a state of sleep whenever they hit someone. Luckily, most people have fallen asleep on the safe zones, but there are those who did not. Be careful not to get hit by the leaves and try to get rid of them instead, all while saving the people sleeping in wrong places. As long as a leaf remains on someone they will either sleep or feel very drowsy and the more leaves they have on them the more potent the effect is.	The effect is less effective through clothes, but will still make one feel sleepy/yawn a lot. With enough layers of clothes the characters will be able to collect the leaves for extra potent sleeping potions. However it's not recommended to eat the leaves as they are, as it might lead to a comatose state instead.	300 Moon Coins
Migrating Foes	Over the course of several weeks, some (Spring) slime and (Winter) Gem Biters have made their way to the Autumn Segment and are now eating special mushrooms near the Mushroom Sanctuary (but not inside it). These mushrooms grow them in size and now we're dealing with human-sized foes. Slime are still relatively harmless, though now they can cover someone in their slime drool, but Gem Biter bites may actually be dangerous. Fight these creatures and either destroy them or bring them back to their original habitats (the effects of the mushroom will fade with time).	Eating a mushroom will make someone grow triple their current size (clothes will transform with them). The effect will fade in a day. Used in potions this mushroom will help with plant growth.	400 Moon Coins
Silent Streams	In the woods, near the Silent Mountains, people will find they lose their voices. In fact, all the sounds disappear. However, it's also the place where you can find one of the purest of water sources, needed for a special potion. The quest is simple: obtain the spring water and bring it back, but be careful of the dangers you cannot hear.	While the area around the spring is relatively safe, sometimes Spirit Animals wander around, attracted by the emotions of those in the area. They will only attack if there are too many different emotions in the area at the same time. There are also actual bears and wolves wandering the woods, but they rarely come too close to the Silent Zone.	100 Moon Coins per water container
❗High Risk Quest ❗ Rest in Pieces CW: murder, drowning	Lately people have died or gone missing near the Abandoned Graveyard. A new type of Kelpie specie has emerged from the Flooded Woods: the Ghoul Kelpie (or Ghoulpie). It can't enter the protected area, but it will haunt people right outside of to either immediately feast on them or take them with them back to the woods to drown them. They're extremely aggressive and attack anyone on sight. They need to dealt with as soon as possible to bring peace back to the area.	Ghoul Kelpies have a sticky fur that anything sticks to. Their teeth are sharp and venomous and their mane turns into vines that poison or stun their opponents. Their weakness is that the more dry they get, the more vulnerable they are to attacks so they occasionally need to retreat back to water.	8000 Moon Coins

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Sex on Air	A new airship is looking for workers for their opening months. The airship cruise that circles around the districts and segments is meant for pleasure and pleasure only. Employees will dress up in sexy lingerie and serve customers drinks, food and entertainment. It's much like a sexy host club on air. There is also a chance of trying their new spell: actually having sex while floating in the air. Just make sure not to fall behind the airship or you may be in trouble.	Of course anyone is allowed to just be a customer of the airship - or why not both, with occasionally doing work and occasionally being served. The Airship leaves evening second evening from the Nightwake Central station and returns after two days. Think of it as a luxurious cruise.	900 Moon Coins per cruise
Shibari Lessons	Due to the last month's Freezing Heart incident, local sex shops have opened up workshops around the Underground Mall. They are teaching characters magical shibari. Every knot tied around someone will represent an emotional or physical block they have. Once all knots are in place a spell is cast on them that will relieve them of their burdens for some time (depends on the person, how fast they will grow these burdens back in their minds/bodies). May also cause arousal to doing this with a partner you know and trust might be a good idea.	The spell doesn't completely erase the burdens, it's merely meant to bring temporary relief and pleasure. The spell is a customized for every person, but it has to include the words "release you from your burdens", but otherwise it can be worded however the one doing the spell wants (for ex. "With my love and care towards you, I release you from your burdens"). The spell has to be one full sentence, but it can't just be "I release you from your burdens".	Shibari Spell, Shibari Rope

[orangebrained]

['Wow' is a good reaction. 'Wow' makes him want to preen a little. Pity that he doesn't have the time.]

All right. I'll keep them like this.

[The spell is easy enough to refresh once it wears off and it doesn't look like he has any problems at all with repeatedly zapping them each time they start to be able to move around at all.]

Glad that worked. I didn't have a backup plan.

[rustyhonesty]

They study animals?

[majimekun]

[You know what's not nice? Moving away and so Deuce kneels down next to Silver and swats at him, because he wants attention. Now.]

Silver-senpai, come -meow- on!

[And then he freezes and leans back and if Deuce had cat ears, they'd also be laying back.]

This is weird.

[rustyhonesty]

It wouldn't feel right if you didn't paint at least some of both of those.

[Jean ponders the question for a moment though.]

Maybe a few more Pegasi Dogs.

[rustyhonesty]

Hmm... maybe if you ended up in a mostly empty canvas you could paint a background lancscape for others to paint characters onto. But here flowers might work better since there's less space.

[mayoninofukucho]

But you guys don't plan to adopt any of those, do you? You already have a full house as it is.

[Two regular dogs, a regular cat, and now the pokémon... it's already lively enough in his and Shoto's home with just the Tepig and Litten, too!]

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah. I can control it quite a bit, but there's no telling how badly it spreads here.

[With all the leaves and all.]

Also I know how to use telekinesis, so maybe I can toss them further away and maybe they'll know to leave back where they came from.

[kerontribution]

...Maybe Oryou should get into merchandising. Oryou is cute.

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean works on levitating the enemies out a few at a time. Once they're far enough most of them seem to start running towards the Winter Segment, some Jean uses fire to chase off. It scares them enough.]

Yeah. This is working pretty well.

[tireurdelite]

It is nice to have a listening ear. I'm truly grateful for the offer, please don't think I'm not.

[abnormalizes]

[Oh! Evangeline's more than happy to return that kiss. She pets Julie-Su's ears lightly as she does so, smiling a little bit against Julie-Su's lips.]

[lost_soldier_echidna]

[And Julie-Su hums against her lips as the kiss is returned. She missed this…]

[tethered_roamer]

That hadn't even crossed my mind. Everyone has a reason not to want to talk about those things, I just wanted to make sure you knew that I'm serious about the fact that I doubt anything you could tell me would bring my mood down. That's all.

[He looks over his shoulder. Another baby panda has come up and has his hood in its teeth. He just lets it have fun with that though.]

[invigorates]

Lioriley remained perfectly still save for the slight upward tick of the corners of her mouth when he occassionally looked up at her, careful not to change her expression too much in the interim. He seemed to be enjoying himself.

"I am sure it is wonderful."

[leucosis]

It was very different.

[ Not too surprising. ]

I'm from Mondstadt, so our main festival is Windblume. I'm always happy to see how people celebrate in other nations, though.

[ And it wasn't like he got to do that all that often. He's seen a lot of things, but the past few years are when he really got to see people and their celebrations. ]

Irodori was a good experience, though. I had art there, as well.

[hometown]

Reiner turns to face Hakkai, the Armored's glowing eyes staring down. He knows how intimidating he can be in this form, and he's not trying to unnerve Hakkai. So the Armored drops to one knee, an elbow propped on the one still raised, trying to make himself seem less … well, giant.

"Sorry for the surprise. I forgot that I didn't get around to explaining. This is the Armored: my Titan."

The Armored's mouth remains firmly shut, Reiner's words spoken directly into Hakkai's head. He addresses that next.

"My Titan can't talk, so I'm using an Autumn power to communicate. It only goes one way." Just in case Hakkai might worry about mind-reading. "Would you be all right with me lifting you off the ground? I'm concerned about the kelpie that ran off."

[hometown]

[ Reiner hums. ]

Unless it decides to bite harder…

[ He's mostly joking. (Mostly.) At any rate, that possibility isn't enough to convince him not to try. So he looks down at the happily gnawing panda, concentrating his magic. Trying to channel it into his words as he says, ]

Hey, buddy. Could you try to take a nap?

[ … Gnaw, gnaw… ]

… Or stop chewing me for a minute?

[ The panda cub blinks at him. Then, with obvious reluctance, it stops gnawing, staring up into Reiner's surprised face. ]

[hometown]

[ Panzer will indeed grow to a massive size. (Far heavier than Reiner, who is a Big, Beefy Boy™ and whose weight reflects it; cheer up, Hijikata, that guess wasn't far off!) It's a little daunting, actually. Reiner is glad he hasn't already settled on a house; otherwise, he might have some hasty plans to make.

He's rather relieved to learn that not all Pokémon grow to such a size. Not because he wants the little Tepig to stay small (cute as it is), but because there are so many Pokémon in the city. If they all became bigger than a car, Reiner suspects that would cause all sorts of problems.

Then Hijikata apparently takes Reiner's advice again, giving Tepig a proper name. Reiner glances over, slightly suspicious. Is Hijikata just in a good mood? Does he feel indebted to Reiner for waking him? Is he trying to lure Reiner into complaisancy?

It would make more sense to Reiner if Hijikata outwardly despised him. As it is, he doesn't know what to do with … what? Tolerance? Amicability?

(It says something significant that Reiner finds someone loathing him easier to understand.) ]

Hinobuta. [ A name he repeats, unfamiliar as it is. ] Does it mean anything?

[localdeliveryboy]

[ Noah paused and thought about it. ]

You know what, you're right. But odd, innit?

[ For him at least. ]

Oh well. Looks like we'll just have to worry about criminals using it then, eh?

[ He says fixing up his tools and tucking away the notebook before walking further in, as if he didn't just drop a big point of concern regarding the feasibility of using these pipes as a hideout. Or worse. ]

[curuiosity]

[She laughed! Success!]

I might as well, if I can't see anyway.

[He feels around for the spatula before following her directions, maybe with a bit more flair than needed.]

Alright. I'm not sure if I'll know when its crumbly enough, but I'll certainly do my best. You know, perhaps if this turns out well, I should offer to make Thoma a meal blindfolded. It certainly is making cooking interesting so far.

[Because normally he would've lost interest by now.]

[roundandaround]

Yeah, my whole family are scientists! My mom's an entomologist, my dad's a zoologist, and my sister's an astronomer.

[mayoninofukucho]

[Oh boy. Now it's suddenly Hijikata's problem alright. Shit!! If they start robbing and shanking warp pipe travellers in here, we'll need to make it a patrol hotspot - and we'll need new gear, at least padded boots or whatnot... we don't have the budget for that, do we?

While he stews in the glum realisation of just how much this development is going to affect his work, they arrive at the next unlabeled pipe. He enters it first, sword out, just in case it holds dinosaurs again... but instead, it turns out to be another warp pipe. This one, at least, lets them out just a child's height above solid ground, so Hijikata jumps down. They're in a nondescript backstreet, with the weather feeling neither hot nor cold.]

Let's get out on the main street.

[Just moments later, they find themselves in a place that's more familiar than most to Hijikata: They're in his home district.]

Sunwaning.

[They're only a 20-minute walk from his house... damn, this will come in so handy when he wants to get home after a night in the city centre! He's feeling more and more torn on these pipes.]

[mayoninofukucho]

[If Hijikata could read Reiner's thoughts, he'd tell him to thank Jean and Hange and Levi (not Eren, because he didn't so much actively advocate for him as just seem happy flirting with him on that goddamn meme, but Eren's happiness matters!!). He'd still understand Reiner's feelings, though. If the sadist bastard he counts among his friends back home suddenly treated him nicely, he'd definitely get paranoid!]

It just means 'fire pig'. That's what he'll always be, even if he turns into a big boar.

[As they continue walking, the slight chill in the air increases as the wind picks up, putting them on higher alert as the leaves get blown about. Hijikata automatically keeps an eye on Reiner to get any stray foliage off him if he doesn't notice it, and chances are Reiner does the same... but as the clouds gets darker, they soon enough hear the first rumble of thunder. Hijikata stops walking and observes the sky to identify where the storm will come from, only to find it almost above them already.]

Well, shit. I usually have good luck with the weather in this Segment. We'd better find shelter.

[That'll be a challenge, though. They're in a stretch of land with plentiful, but fairly thin and scattered trees, and there isn't a forest in sight, not even a group of trees tall and thick enough to function as one. Typical for the Autumn Segment, the thunderstorm is moving in fast, and within moments they can hear the first drops of rain land on their hood and umbrella.]

[noodleboi]

MK really appreciates and admires her ability to stay still. He knows he would be fidgeting and maybe complaining by now. He could meditate but it was hard sometimes. He looked at Lioriley one more time and kept painting. He nodded and hummed to himself. He stepped back and looked from the canvas to his friend and back.

"Okay. Done. Take a look. What do you think?" The portrait captures her were with a swirling background of contrasting colors. That way she stands out more and he didn't have to actually paint what was behind her.

[knowsvinewhip]

He takes a step back. Instinctively. What are you supposed to do, when a giant... man monster leans in like that? It's just Reiner, says his brain, says logic. But transformations never mean anything... good exactly, where he comes from. Either place. Reiner seems to be in complete control, though. More than himself, and certainly more than Goku, or the Beasts of Trench.

"Yes... you were a bit too intoxicated to elaborate."

And he'd kind of dipped out as soon as he'd woken up the next morning. It is fortunate Reiner can't actually read his thoughts. That would be embarrassing for both of them. "I suppose that's... all right. Though I have to ask - and please don't take this the wrong way."

"Are you always so lucid during these transformations...?"
