🚨 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.

Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Blind CookingLocal 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 ArtAmberfall 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 RideThe 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 ExpressMysterious 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

Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Invisible MazeThroughout 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 RiverbendThe 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 OutThe 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 FightA 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

Cats Need Catnip BadlyLocal 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 LifeThe 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 InspirationsA 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 SeasonIt'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!

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 LakeMysterious 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 NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
Leaf Me AloneMajority 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 FoesOver 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 StreamsIn 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

Sex on AirA 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 LessonsDue 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

Catch his breath? That's the sort of advice Reiner gives others and rarely takes for himself. He'll catch his breath once they're out of combat, not before.

Seeing that Hakkai is holding them off, Reiner gets to his feet and positions the rifle again. He gives Hakkai a word of warning:

"Firing."

Then: BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG.

Two bullets into one kelpie, two into the other.

… But unlike the first kelpie that appeared visibly wounded, these two seem to be—what? Ready for it? Hardier, maybe? Whatever the case, the standard-issue bullets don't appear to do a damn thing.

Reiner curses and unslings the rifle. "Take this," he says, holding it out to Hakkai, "and run back to the headstones. I don't want to catch you in the blast."
knowsvinewhip: (I was nailed to my seat)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-09 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Firing -

Hakkai drops the barrier right as Reiner finishes the word. Firing into it would probably just cause the bullets to ricochet back at them. And that would, definitely, be bad. He watches, ready, to see if the creatures fall.

Of course... of course, the bullets don't do nearly enough damage. He grimaces, pulling his hands back up to launch another volley - only to have the rifle shoved at him. For a second, he stands stupidly with it, holding it awkwardly.

"What are you doing?" No, Reiner, he's going to ask. He has to ask. "What blast?"
hometown: (slight grimace)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-09-09 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Belatedly, Reiner realizes that he never got around to explaining his Titan to Hakkai. He was too drunk at the time, and after he sobered, it just never came up. They really ought to have gone over this before engaging the enemy—but here they are. Reiner resolves to do better next time.

"I'm gonna turn into something big enough to squash them," he says, not bothering with the specifics. His eyes are still on the kelpies, one hand dropping near the knife at his belt. "The transformation causes a blast. It will kill anyone who's too close.

"Run to the headstones," he repeats, tensing as those bizarre manes begin to writhe in the air. "Fast. Please."
knowsvinewhip: (Not sure if want)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-09 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
The word transformation sends something pricking up his spine. The instinct to reach up, touch the cuffs lining his ear, is strong. But he holds himself back. Keeps his hands on the rifle instead. He's never felt any kind of energy from Reiner. Unless this place is holding it back?

Possible.

He exhales. "Very well." Questions later. If Reiner does turn into something hazardous, he'll... well. It can't be worse than Seiten Taisei, can it?

So he goes. And he ducks behind a headstone.
hometown: (titan distant)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-09-10 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Reiner waits as long as he can, listening to Hakkai's retreating footsteps. He pulls the knife from his belt. When those footsteps stop, a few droplets of blood splatter across the ground.

A bolt of golden lightning cracks down from the sky, striking where Reiner stands, thunder booming as it presumably engulfs him. A wave of searing heat rolls off that point, hot enough to burn anyone too close, instantly killing them. When the flash of light clears, there stands a massive creature.

The Armored Titan. Fifteen meters tall with hardened plates all over its body. Blond hair a match for Reiner's, golden eyes glowing behind semi-opaque lenses.

This is the form that Reiner used to smash through a Wall that withstood attacks for a century. This is the form that can plow through buildings and hurl trains.

The remaining kelpies don't stand a chance. Not confined as they are, weakened by Hakkai and Reiner's earlier attacks, burned by his Titan transformation. Not when they've been kept from the water by the pit and Hakkai's force field, their remaining moisture sucked away by the searing heat in the air. Not when their venomous manes can't find real flesh.

When it's over, the Armored stands upright, scanning the area for the kelpie that fled. Wary about the chance of it circling back. At that point, Reiner tries to contact Hakkai, using an Autumn power to engage in one-way telepathy.

"Can you hear me? It's done."
knowsvinewhip: (Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-10 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
But he's thrown a shield up as soon as the lightning strikes. An instinctive reaction, frankly. After his last brush with lightning strikes, there's no way he'd like to have another. That shield, plus the headstone, is probably invaluable. The blast puts a tremendous strain on it, but it holds.

And then... he's just boggled by what he sees. This is - like nothing he's ever experienced before. Not in the least. Maybe the shikigami crab monster? The things in the soul gourd? Maybe it was like that. A dozen theories, a hundred maybes, and he's left staring.

It - he? - Reiner? makes short work of the monsters. Which must mean this thing is extremely powerful, its size notwithstanding. They'd barely been able to dent the creatures, and he just wipes them out. Maybe he really should have removed his limiters...

The voice startles him out of his thoughts, and he jerks in place. Staring upward with too-wide eyes.

"... Yes? I... Yes, I can."
hometown: (titan face 1)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-09-14 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
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."
knowsvinewhip: (I was nailed to my seat)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-15 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
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...?"
hometown: (titan face 2)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-09-15 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Reiner doesn't blame Hakkai for stepping back. Between the Armored's fearsome appearance and the violence he just inflicted on those kelpies, it's entirely understandable. Reiner remains where he is, not dropping his hand for Hakkai to climb onto his palm. That will come once Hakkai is reassured—if it happens at all.

"Yeah, I am," Reiner answers honestly, not bothering to explain the one exception.

The very first time, he wasn't in control; no one ever is. (Unless their name is Bertholdt Hoover, but Bertholdt's incredible aptitude was the exception, not the rule.)

"I inherited my Titan when I was ten. I'm eighteen now. I've used this power more times than I can count. I have complete control."
knowsvinewhip: (Know that it doesn't hurt me?)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-16 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's certainly a relief. It's vastly different than the other transformations he's witnessed, then. Complete control. What would that be like? Being able to be that much more capable in battle, when necessary, but able to keep yourself from murdering indiscriminately.

Then again... he wouldn't know what that felt like, would he?

"When you were ten?" Perhaps this is a bad time to have this conversation, but the curiosity can't be contained completely. "You've been doing this since you were a child?"
hometown: (titan action 2)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-09-22 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
The Armored Titan nods, an entirely human gesture despite its appearance.

"That's right. I was one of a few chosen to inherit Titans, along with a couple of my peers."

Not that Reiner should have inherited the Armored. No, that honor should have gone to a comrade. However, another comrade's interference meant that Reiner ultimately received it.

"I don't mind explaining more," Reiner says. "But right now, we should hunt down the kelpie that escaped. Or at least ensure it's not circling back."
knowsvinewhip: (And she's calling a cab)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-23 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ten... A child, having this foisted on them. Was it always so big? Was the transformation always so violent? There are so many questions, and the answers don't seem like they will be anything terribly good. But, well, at least Reiner's around someone who's used to children having horrible upbringings.

Did any of them have a decent one?

"Ah, yes. Explanations later." They have a job to do, after all. He inhales, and takes a step forward. If something changes, if Reiner ever loses control... he'll be fine. Won't he? "We should finish it. Let's go."

Lift away, big man.
hometown: (titan distant)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-09-25 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Reiner nods again, then lowers his left hand for Hakkai to step onto his palm. "Climb on," he instructs, "and hold my thumb for support."

It's not ideal. But unless Hakkai has any rope on his person, then 'hold on' is about the best they can do.

Once Hakkai is securely in the Armored's palm, Reiner brings the hand close, resting the side of it against his chest. That will at least provide Hakkai with a wall of sorts. Then, Reiner rises to his feet, turning in the direction that the kelpie fled.

"You watch the right side," he says. "I'll watch the left."

With that said, the Armored Titan begins to walk, hand still held steady against its chest.
knowsvinewhip: (And if I only could)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-09-26 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well... he has something. Not rope, exactly. But he'd prefer not to use that option, if at all possible. He might very well try and kill Reiner like that. So holding on it is.

"Don't worry too much. I'm sure I can hold my balance."

And he shifts his weight over to the right. Holding on, as the giant version of Reiner moves.

"Do you think it headed back to the river?"
hometown: (titan action 2)

[personal profile] hometown 2023-10-04 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"That would make sense," Reiner says, the Armored's body aiming in that direction. Its long legs eat up the ground, each footfall heavy. Between the Titan's size and noise, there's no chance of sneaking up on the kelpie; they'll just have to hope that a direct attack works.

"If it's in the water, we may have to let it go," Reiner says. "Unless you have something that will work well against it in there."

Reiner's Titan isn't of much use unless it's on solid ground.
knowsvinewhip: (Every driven word)

[personal profile] knowsvinewhip 2023-10-05 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Unfortunately, no."

He's not adept in the water. Enough to keep himself from drowning, sure. But he's not an Olympic swimmer or anything like that. Scanning the ground below, he doesn't see anything horse-like. Not any kind of animal, actually.

"But - I would think your display has frightened just about everything in the area. We could very well consider ourselves finished."
