On May 27th, every character who responds to this post will get up to 3% memories, absolutely free! There's just one little catch.

It won't be their memories.

That's right, we're doing a Memory Swap Event!

Just fill out the provided form here and post it in the comments of this post to sign up. Then figure out whose memories you want your character to remember and also be sure to make that clear in the comments as well, please. Alternatively, you can ask to have your character placed in the pool for randomization.

You do not have to remember the memories of the character who remembers your memories. While you can have it so A remembers B's memories who remembers A's memories, you can also have it so A remembers B's memories who remembers C's memories who remembers R's memories who remembers J's memories who remembers A's memories.

Sign-ups will close at 11:00 PM on May 26th, at which point we will assume any unclaimed characters are to go in the randomization pool so remember to post claims, and the event will officially start at midnight May 27th. All times are EST.

The event will last one week, and the memories will return to their proper owners on June 3rd.

Post any questions you've got in the comments.

In case you didn't see, costume swap has begun! A few quick notes:

1) The costumes cannot be removed or destroyed before midnight on Halloween.
2) If you don't like what you received, talk to the other players (use this post if you'd like!) and see if they're willing to trade. I don't mind! The only rule is that you can't trade to a canon you already play from.
3) The links and pictures are examples! If you're familiar with the canon and you have a great idea, go for it!
4) Should the characters wish, they can keep the outfit afterwards.

Have fun!

What is Costume Swap?
Costume Swap is a way to handwave a reason why your character would be put into costume and force them into one anyway.

Who is involved?
Only characters that post to this with costumes and outfits will be included.

How does it work?
First, find some pictures of characters in your character's canon. Then put them in a comment! Try to keep things under control; if you're posting 30 or more, you might want to tone it down. At the very least, have a 'his' and 'hers' costume in the post. All comments are screened, so there can be an element of surprise!

Next, when the swap event starts, comments will be unscreened and each character will receive a link to a different comment. Choose a costume from that list. Note! If you're familiar with the canon you received, you are free to choose whatever you want. The links are primarily for examples in case you don't.

Next, ???

Congratulations! Your character is now in costume and 1% richer!

Do I have to stick within my character's gender?
Absolutely not!

What if I don't like any of the choices in my comment?
Talk to one of the other players involved and see if they'll trade with you.

I have more questions!
Please ask them in the Halloween event post just below this, since comments are screened here.

Quick post on the subject before I nod off for the night!

First up, Grimm's Fairy Tales! There are now areas in the unsafe zone that resemble various fairy tales. A tall stone tower with the only way in being a strange rope hanging out the window, accompanied by thorny vines at the bottom. A clearing with both an empty glass coffin and a lone apple tree. A strange dark brown house with white trim that smells delicious for some reason. Areas will be devoid of human life, but objects from the tales can be found and interacted with. Anemoi can be found in these locations, and this fact will likely be repeated as soon as one person is brave enough to venture in.

Should your character go exploring, that's a cool two anemoi for them! The first two anemoi they find are real. Each one they pick up afterwards disintegrates on touch.

Second, what's Halloween without costumes? If your character willingly gets into costume (or is coerced!) for the holiday, that's an automatic 1%.

But Geoff, I hear you say, my character isn't the type to put on a costume for Halloween, and they don't have the CR to have someone force them into one! Never fear, for that is where costume swap comes into play! This will be detailed on a second post, but costume swap can be taken advantage of to provide a handwaved way to get your character in costume for an extra 1%! So you can have your character dress up, then get hit by costume swap and reap both rewards.

If that's not enough, there may be a few jobs on the job board to tickle your fancy...

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

It's All Hallows Eve, and in light of the special occasion mysterious areas and buildings have popped up in the city limits as well as outside! Structures such as a tall stone tower with the only way in being a strange rope hanging out the window, accompanied by thorny vines at the bottom. A clearing with both an empty glass coffin and a lone apple tree. A strange dark brown house with white trim that smells delicious for some reason. A castle where there is a single spinning wheel. A single well by itself. All of this and more! To find out more about these things, you'll have to explore.

What this really means:

Areas have now taken on the looks of multiple stories from Grimms' Fairy Tales. Not all of them are described here, but any can be discovered if you know them. The places are empty of human life, but any of the objects from said tale can be found and interacted with. And those items can and will affect the characters. So the apple tree can and will poison a character that eats an apple. Or someone who pricks their finger will fall into a deep sleep that only a kiss will break.

"But how long will these effects last or if they can't be broken?"
Don't worry, they only last as long as the event. So nothing permanent will bother your character, like being blinded.

As stated before, you can find up to two gems per character for a total of 2% memories. So have fun! And as before, any questions about this part of the event can go here or if there's something I didn't think of.
