🚨 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

Quest NameDescriptionOOC NotesRewards
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

Affirmative! They're fast- fall back and get distance!

[Mukuro was not particularly skilled with magic. And although she'd had a good few months to practice with it, she was still quick to use her weapons first- so her reflexes were not as fast when it came to unleashing her more supernatural abilities.

Still, she had a secret weapon.

As the creatures charged, she leapt back and dug into those feelings of despair in her heart. Solidify her stance, imagine the rippling of the earth as a lethal threat- the earth jolted (just like when Jean had died)- instead of sinking the creatures as she had before, countless spears of earth jutted out the ground to pin them in place (just like when she had died)- and she listened, close, just in case Hijikata would say anything she could use to dig deeper into that well of despair.

...Yes, this was the best way to use her magic.]

[Hijikata does fall back along with Mukuro, expecting her to turn the ground into a swamp - so he's all the more surprised to instead see countless "spears" shoot up. It's hard for him to tell if they're made from hardened soil or from actual rock, and it's unclear to him whether they've managed to pierce the ghoulpies' hard skin, but in any case the monsters are suspended, lifted up and stuck between the unexpected stalagmites, struggling to try and get a foothold.]

Well done!!

[It wouldn't occur to him to say something negative in this situation. They're fighting together, relying on each other to succeed (and survive!); why would be want to put his sworn sister down? For all he can tell, she's applying her magic strategically and skillfully.

He follows suit, immolating both ghoulpies with as much strength as he can muster. Once more, ghoulish screams fill the air as the flames turn all the wetness in their fur into steam before biting into their bodies. He keeps going relentlessly until the creatures fall silent, needing to briefly catch his breath afterwards.]


...

I hope there won't be more of them, or if there are, that we managed to scare them off for good. At this rate I'll run out of mana otherwise.

[Being able to immolate three strong monsters in a row speaks of how much he increased his reserves already, but he can feel the drain. While he has enough firepower left in him for another round, they might end up having to resort to more dangerous methods after that!]
corpsewarblade: (You want me to what now?)

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2023-12-05 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[The complement is jarring, appreciated though it was, but it did not shake her enough to damage her resolve. Still, as the creatures were dealt with and she took a moment to glance around- the issue became apparent; ]

My mana supply is low, too.

[But she had no issue throwing herself into danger. It's what he would want.]

...I can take them at close range if needed.
mayoninofukucho: (Noir Mood)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-12-06 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
That'd be a bad idea. Haven't you seen the dark energy surrounding them?

[Sure, that's primarily an indicator for otherworders' native magic being disabled around these foes - something that doesn't affect regular people like him and Mukuro -, but it also indicates just how powerful and dangerous the monsters are. (Hijikata doesn't realise that the ghoulpies, according to the locals' assessment, are equally as deadly as the wyverns that nearly killed him and Medusa - he really did become a lot stronger since that quest, but he also has an elemental advantage here.)]

Let's retreat inside the graveyard to rest a little. It's been going well so far; let's keep it that way.
corpsewarblade: (Hmm...)

1/2

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2023-12-08 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Understood- let’s pull back and assess the situation then.

[She walked back to Hijikata’s side, stopping to try and feel the presence of any others moving through her earth sense.]

No other targets sighted- ground sense clear.
corpsewarblade: (I dare you to hurt Junko)

2/2

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2023-12-08 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She didn’t let her guard down in enemy territory of course, despite her assessment.

And perhaps, that was for the best, as there was another Ghoulpie lurking very still underwater, waiting to ambush the two as they moved off- and Hijikata’s back seemed the perfect vulnerable target.]


I brought rations, just in- shit!

[She caught sight of it as it got in close- getting between it and Hijikata and lunging at it with her knife. She’d probably end up caught up in its sticky fur but that was fine, right? If she drowned protecting him, that would be a good thing, right?]
mayoninofukucho: (Prepare for Trouble)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-12-08 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[And just like that, they get overwhelmed. They were right to dispatch the monsters at a distance, and they were right to not hold back on the force of their elemental attacks, because as soon as a ghoulpie gets to strike at them directly, the tides immediately turn.

Mukuro's attack doesn't even break its gallopping run. Her lunge doesn't throw it off balance, her expertly thrust knife doesn't break through its thick fur and hide, and her speed and agility don't prevent her from getting caught in its fur like in a glue trap. If its long, vine-like mane touches her skin, she may feel an additional paralysis kick in - and as if that weren't enough, the ghoulpie immediately u-turns and runs back into the water.]


Mukuro!!

[Despite reacting without delay, Hijikata can't stop the ghoulish horse. His sword strike cuts it as little as Mukuro's knife stab did, and his fire can't take hold before the monster splashes into the murky depths, taking Mukuro with it. No!! She's going to drown!

He rapidly leafs through his options while running after them, loosening his belt without thinking - if he needs to transform, he can't have his trousers strangle his shark tail or tentacles. My fire won't do. My swords won't do. I can't spin my time top here. There's only one weapon that may help: His lightning ribbon stick.

He dives after the ghoulpie, changing his legs to a shark tail and adjusting his breathing, scent and eyesight accordingly. He smells the monster more than he sees it, and as he approaches, swimming as hard as he can, he only vaguely sees Mukuro's body stuck to the large beast's chest. I'll strike it from behind. Hopefully that'll leave her unaffected.

He brandishes the unassuming weapon and discharges a massive lightning bolt at the ghoulpie. It strikes it in the rear, and it stops swimming, legs going still as it slowly tilts sideways. With a few strokes, Hijikata is at its side, drawing his shortsword Higanbana to cut Mukuro free, careful to hold on to her rather than to the sticky monster. The goddamn fur is thick as hell, but slicing it sideways with an enhanced blade is at least easier than trying to get through to the ghoulpie's skin!]

tw near drowning

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2023-12-10 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Its hide was certainly not like that of a normal horse- the thick, sticky kelp only tangling her up and trapping her against it's body. A sharp white jolt through her vision as the vines brushed her arm, seizing up her muscles. Without her grip, the knife fell uselessly from her hand and clattered to the ground-

Mukuro braced, gritting her teeth. Heard Hijikata's voice from somewhere far away. Adrenaline shot through her and partially slipped her body into a Battle Trance like state. But she couldn't move, could barely struggle, let alone fight- and so instead, time only seemed to slow for her, drawing out that long, awful charge toward the water. Each passing moment between now and her inevitable death dragging to a crawl-

Then there was sharp cold.

Mukuro clamped her mouth and eyes shut as they impacted the water, instinctively holding her breath until her lungs burned. It hurt. And she could still barely move...! That weight pulled her down further, further.

She'd die again- Hijikata would feel despair or righteous justice and she'd get to face the enviable despair of her own death again- again, and again and again-

A burst of bubbles as her stamina started failing her. Water rushed into her mouth and her vision blackened- a sudden crack of lightning like a whip and an arm around her- the blurry outline of the creature sinking away as she was cut free- fragments that didn't make sense.

Until the paralysis started to wear off, she couldn't struggle in Hijikata's grip. It would be easy enough for him to drag her to shore.]

[Once he has freed Mukuro from her ghoulish captor, Hijikata swims straight upwards, relying on his strong tail to propel him. Every second counts in getting air back into her lungs! Once he breaks the surface, he pulls her to the shore, making sure her head stays above water. If a ghouplie were to attack the two of them now, it'd be troublesome, to say the least... but they get lucky.

Back on solid ground, he sits her down, supporting her back to keep her halfway upright. He doesn't even bother giving himself his legs back yet (thought he does mindlessly swap his gills back for lungs; he'll need those).]


Mukuro, stay with me!!

[He pats her back multiple times in a row in hopes of making her cough up whatever water she swallowed. If that doesn't help, he'll need to break out the CPR!]

[The water rushed around them as he pulled her back to the surface. And soon enough, she was back on dry land- she needed the support at her back, given the paralysis freezing her body.

Thankfully, she was still conscious. Her eyes and throat and everything else _stung_, but after a couple of shaky gasps that seemed far too drawn out, the patting on her back is enough- and she's able to throw up most of the awful water. Once- twice- then a few more shaky coughs- and finally, her haggard breathing began to sound more normal.

Still drenched, covered in grime and pondweed, but starting to come back.

And as her vision started to clear, Mukuro tried to speak. A croaky gurgle that almost sounded like an apology.

It wasn't an apology for her carelessness, though. It was an apology she thought he deserved, for the fact that she was likely to survive.]
mayoninofukucho: (Shivery)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-04-29 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He keeps patting her back until she can't get any more water out of her lungs or stomach, then he rubs it instead to comfort her. It's scary to feel her so utterly slack in his arms, unable to sit up on her own or so much as lift a finger. He tells himself that she'll be OK, that it's just a temporary status effect, but it's terrifying.]

Hey, take it easy. Just breathe.

[His senses are alert to their surroundings, knowing he needs to stand in for Mukuro on that front now, so he only registers what she was trying to say with a second's delay. Did she just try to apologise..? Still under Junko's thrall, aren't you?]

Don't apologise for saving my life.

[He can't compute that what she'd really need to be told is "Don't apologise for surviving." Even talking about her struggles with Jean and Makoto, he still doesn't fully grasp the depths of her despair.]
