Who: Everyone
When: February 20th to February 28th
Where: Thisavrou
Warnings: death, blood, murder, and sweet sweet love

thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

⋆ All information is current as of day 51 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

⋆ Other information about the state of Thisavrou can be found here.

savrii traditions

⋆ With an increase in visitors this month, the Savrii have made several attempts to ease the transition by researching particular activities that their guests might be familiar with. However, due to the lack of proper information provided on some of these, the rest has been filled in with variations of known Savrii traditions as well as those from other worlds. Beginning on the 20th, everyone who visits the Ingress Complex will be given small capsules with very specific instructions of do not ingest. These small things can be planted in soil and yield unexpected results! Other noticeable differences across the planets will vary from fliers and other sources of advertisements depicting an odd-looking and very tentacle-like infant denoting this month as “Sweets and Sweeter”, gifts of tiny chocolate hearts that are literally chocolate-coated meat hearts made from a common lizard found on Chioni, and commemorative glasses with a special drink inside that compels one to speak a blunt and possibly uncomfortable truth to the person they’re with.

⋆ Located in R3, the natives of this region have filled the air with love—quite literally. A special chemical released from the rare flowers that sometimes grow in the trees has bloomed, causing the moods of those who breathe it in to lift and their inhibitions to lower. The effects can range from causing someone who isn’t normally open to be very flirty to incensing an individual to make the worst decision of their life. Once an individual leaves R3, the effects of the gas will subside after about an hour. While visiting, however, join the natives in their annual Golden TangleSnake Hunt in an attempt to catch the yellow-tailed Tanglesnake and win a prize for your sweetheart!

the prompts

⋆ Love Is Forever. To help all new visitors acclimate to Thisavrou and its Sweet Month, a few long-time residents bring out their own traditions in hopes of garnering enthusiasm and promoting kind, loving acts. On the morning of the 21st, every person (no matter where they live on Thisavrou) will find a heart with a pleasant message by their door. There’s only one problem; the hearts aren’t made of paper, they’re real (some form of alien animal hearts not native to Thisavrou). That very same day, a married couple is found outside their home with an arrow (a big one) shot through their chests, pinning them together. This occurs three more times before it is reported to the Savrii - intermediaries are dispersed to help find any information, and anyone looking to help stop more deaths from happening can ask an intermediary for facts. Characters can investigate to find the culprits and learn their motives.

( OOC Info: If you thread out the investigation and you get to a point where you need clues or direction, then please PM savmods and we’ll give you some plot! This goes for both the heart and arrow sections of the prompt. )

⋆ Four Minutes. This one is what it says on the tin—a round of speed dating that occurs over the TABs and in-person. On the 20th, a notification pops up on all TABs noting a date and time (that evening) for all people to come to. At this event, TABs are synced up, and everyone who attends will be sat at tables with one other person. They will be given four minutes to get to know them. If you decide you want to see them again, mark yes on their profile on the TABs, and if not, hit no. Don’t worry though, whether you’ve got matches or not, the event-runners will be sending out random suggestions of who to go out with! If you accept, they’ll pay for a luxurious evening. At the end of the evening, all matches will be sent to your character’s TAB, and whether you pursue anything further is up to you.

( OOC Info: the speed dating event at the beginning is up to the player to decide the details. You can thread out random meetings or being matched up after or even a date that you arrange with a match a week from now. The sign-ups below are for the random match suggestions. If you sign your character up, they’ll be given a match and a date, completely paid for. )

⋆ Sleep On It. Even the Savrii seem to have an old wives' tale about finding one’s true love. A mixture of herbs were bundled together and placed under a pillow, allowing the person to dream of their soulmate that night. A Savrii, who found the tale romantic, synthesized a mixture of herbs that, when certain steps were followed, lets the user have a vision of themselves with the person that they can find the happiest life with. Step one: Take the herbs in hand and twist until the bundle snaps, it’ll smell of lavender and honey. Step two: Lift pillow and place bundle underneath. Step three: Sleep. Step four: Not all results are conclusive; you may have seen your soulmate, someone you hate, someone you have strong feelings for, or some might have dreams that make no sense at all. The only common thing is that the dream will only feature one other person. Step five: Go find that person and tell them what you saw! Whether something comes of this or not is up to fate.

Thank you to Kitten, Jaina, and Hattie for these plot ideas!!

love is forever // ingress complex;

( She'd been there a week, or just over by now. A week in which most of Claire's actions had come by the network. In a small way it had helped, letting her find out something about the place that she was in -- letting her know some of the people, but the room wasn't everything. It was quiet, but it was just as strange and uncomfortable as everything else here.

It also wasn't what she wanted, even if that wasn't always easy to remember. She'd wanted to get out, to get away, and even if here hadn't exactly been a part of Claire's plan it was what had happened. She was free -- she was alone. No one here knew her or what she was (or wasn't), and maybe that was everything that she needed.

Claire had been out a few times, looking around the areas of the Ingress Complex close to her room, finding where to eat and what else was there. The place seemed nice - calm, compared to some of what she'd already heard. That had been the ship, or the planet. Whatever this was, their wait, it didn't sound quite so dangerous.

At least that was Claire's opinion until now. Leaving her door that morning only to find a heart on the floor outside--

It was real, she knew that much -- she didn't need to get close to it to realise that. She couldn't help her curiosity to reach down and pick up the note, trying to focus on it once she'd picked it up rather than the heart that it had been attached to. For a while she just stands there, note clutched in her hand after reading it. Someone had left it... someone was dead, and they'd left the heart there. Why? Why there? Why here? Why had it happened?

Eventually she steps over it, note still in her hand, intent on finding someone that could do something about it -- remove the heart, look into it? Claire isn't quite certain where she's going, or who to look for, leading her to just walk the Complex on her search )

magic beans // ingress complex;

( She'd been given the capsules a few days ago, the day before she'd found a heart on her doorstep. That had made her forget about the capsules until she'd put her hand in her pocket that morning and had found them still there.

What were they? What was she supposed to do with them? Why did she still have them was the better question when she didn't know what they were. All Claire had been told was not to eat them, which could easily have meant they were dangerous despite how innocuous they looked.

With a sigh Claire studies the one that's in her hand, leaning back against the railing that she's stood near )

What are you?

i. well, something's in the air - kauto, region 3

[ Look: the tanglesnake thing? It's become personal. At first it seemed like a straightforward way to get a few extra space-bucks, since catching animals is pretty much the one thing Daryl is unquestionably good at, but they're crafty little bastards. And the bounty was for the beasts alive, which made it all the harder. So, yeah, he's sunk more than a few hours into the hunt. And yeah, if there's some special one out there they want to catch? He's in. He knows it's irrational, and justifies it by deciding that even if he is too personally invested in mastering the skill of catching the stupid critters, it's still money they could use, so it's still worth it.

But when he gets there, he finds himself even more distracted, his mind wandering, drifting off to wonder what the prize might be, whether it's something Carol might like.

He lunges, trying to grab one on a low branch, and when it skitters off and he overbalances and crashes into the trunk of the tree and comes up chuckling, it occurs to him that maybe he's got bigger problems.

But he's not ready to call it off just yet, so he continues his idiot-grinning way through the woods. What's wrong with this damn place? ]

ii. he ate my heart - kauto, region 1 & 2

[ Mostly he ignores the ads posted as a matter of course. Ain't like his sencs are burning a hole in his pocket, he's only at the market to sell a few things, only buying things they need. Which eventually is mostly going to mean weapons, but for now is more staples. Sugar, flour, vinegar. Meat sometimes because it's simpler.

Someone presses a few of the strange little capsules into his hand at one of the shops, and he tries to refuse but they're awful insistent, talking about some holiday, so he just tucks them into a pocket to deal with later. When he's getting the sugar, though, they insist on giving him a little box of chocolates, and suspicious as he is about taking anything from anyone, it's easier not to argue.

But it looks and smells safe enough, and he's pretty much always hungry, so he pops one into his mouth while in line at another shop... bites into it, and makes a face. ]

What the shit?!

[ Not at all what he expected. ]

iii. love actually is all around us (apparently) - wherever

[ Okay, okay, he gets the point. Other shopkeepers offer him little decorations, strange treats (actually the hearts aren't so bad, once he establishes they're not from anything sentient or too strange; he's eaten much weirder shit in his life) and try to sell him bundles of flowers which he brushes off. He ignores the notif on the TAB. No-fuckin'-thank you.

He finds himself frowning at one of the larger billboards while he leans on a wall to smoke. ]

Little much, [ he murmurs, to anyone near enough to be receptive to the conversation. ]

iv. CLOSED to housemates - home is where the heart is... no, I'm not sorry for the joke - the farmhouse

[ Daryl doesn't use the front door often, just as a matter of habit, so it's hard to be sure how long it's been there. Hard to guess who might've come by without tripping any wires or traps, but someone determined and alive probably could. Only one thing is for certain: there's an actual organ on their doorstep, slumping into a pile of blood, with a little paper tag attached.

He'd reach for a weapon, except of course he's already armed. So instead he shuts the door quick and shouts out to Carol and Carl-- ]

We got a problem!

v. the heart wants what the heart wants.

[ wild wild wildcard option. do a thing and we'll make it work <3 ]

D.VA!

Signing up Shiro and Reinhardt

this is too hilarious not to do, stick Liquid in there

magic beans; kauto R5; cw for reference to self-harm

["Do not ingest" is amusing its own right, but they've a responsibility, apparently, to no longer devour the flora willy-nilly. A very minor case of "death" they have learned from direct experience, is more than likely should that follow through.

And so, outside Housing Complex Number Two, a small child can be seen digging at the earth with a trowel. Their sleeves are rolled up to their elbows exposing a latticework of thin white lines crisscrossed about their forearms, their focus wholly devoted to the task at their feet. A streak of soil decorates their otherwise unblemished face, their fingertips stained with brown as they rake the dirt over the capsule with a delicate, precise expertise.

They have gardened before, and they know all the requisite steps. They seem rather bent on their task, although the observant viewer may take note that their features, for the first time, do not seem locked in an insincere smile or a disinterested blankness. Rather, for the first time since their arrival - the child does not look bored.]

tanglesnake hunt; kauto R3

Lowered inhibitions and a fine job of catching a Tanglesnake the last time they embarked on such an endeavor has granted Chara a vague sense of confidence that they might be capable of capturing the prized yellow-tailed Tanglesnake. They do not particularly possess a "sweetheart" to be winning prizes for, but they would rather enjoy trading the thing for a hefty cash sum, should they succeed. Asriel mentioned that he would like to be a pilot, after all, and the offer of sencs may grease the way to that goal, who are they to deny an assist, when they can?

They fan out in concentric circles in search of the creature, scrambling into the treats as required, but those that may have born witness to their hunting of the creatures last time will notice a definitive difference between that child and this one. Their smiles come easier, not quite as filed off at the edges, and they appear to be, at periodic intervals, almost genuinely amused.

It must be something in the air.

love is forever; kauto R5

[There is something on the doorstep, when Chara exits the house that morning. They kneel in front of it, nudging it with the toe of their shoe and then with a finger, watching it roll across the floor in all its crimson glory.

The sensible thing to do would be to discard of it promptly, or perhaps report it in to the authorities.

Chara does neither of these things.

Instead, they take the very real, very fleshy heart in their hands and proceed to carry it about for the remainder of the day; it is perfect material for making all manner of "you have stolen my heart" jokes, after all - is it not?]

[It is unlikely the human in question - presumably human, or if not, then something that looks near enough like one for there to be little point in splitting the difference - was musing aloud for the benefit of the small child passing through. Yes, that one right over there, with the red eyes and the flat disposition. They have already planted their seeds, decidedly unamused as they were with the resulting blooms, and yet - are currently in the process of searching out more. For important Reasons, clearly.

They barely give the human a cursory look as they pause, and answer her question.]

Seeds, essentially.

A: A kiss for my LOVE - all through Kauto

[The plan was set in their head nearly as soon as the Savrii's advertisements for the month went up. When the 20th rolls round, Frisk heads out onto the streets (or dirt roads or halls or bridges) with a small satchel bag at their hip. Beaming and hopping every few steps as they run along, every time they spot someone they wave to try and catch the person's attention.]

Um, 'scuse me!

[Frisk comes running up, and out of their bag offers a small chocolate wrapped up in foil. Beaming and barely keeping in a fit of giggles, they wink and hold it out.]

A kiss from me t' you!

B: My heart is racing, Valentine - Kauto R3

[It hadn't even taken the incentive of the flower's fragrance to get Frisk in the mood for the contest--they'd tried their hand chasing the critters down before, and their own SOUL simply required that they try again until they succeed. And with the chance of a prize dangled there, the lure is too great to resist.]

[With dirty knees and bandaged hands, Frisk takes to ground and trees equally in their search. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to their search as they rush off anywhere they happen to see movement or hear the sound of scampering paws. But whether or not they're successful, at least they seem to be having a great deal of fun!]

C: Just dying to get to know you - Kauto R3

[After the competition (Frisk was unsuccessful, but they don't seem to mind), Frisk lingers to hang around and get up to a bit of mischief--namely, climbing up every tree to see how high they can get. They've an incredible excess of energy that keeps them at it for quite a while, though eventually they take a break to sit out in the middle of a particularly long limb, hanging out well away from any of the bridge paths below. Kicking their feet, they gaze down curiously at the ground below, seeming to ponder something.]

...I don't think I ever died by fallin' before...

[Oh dear, did they say that out loud?]

[A. PHIL COLLINS DRUMMING NOISES (R3) (no underage or anything please)]

Fortunately for some who might like the February type holidays, the locals seem to have put on quite the celebration. Unfortunately for Liquid, though, he happens to live in R3. And apparently nobody thought to inform him of what was going on around here before they did it.

So, while he hasn't been as angry as he used to be these days, he's in a particularly good mood today. There's a nice big grin on his face as he opens the door of his house to greet the day.

Anyone who happens to be passing by on the walkways gets a friendly greeting too. Aaaand a tone of voice that's probably way more flirty-sounding than it should be. Yikes. "Come to visit, eh?"

[B. IT'S CALLED A HEART (R1)]

It's kind of annoying that Liquid essentially has to choose between being in his home or not being weirdly drugged by the local plants. That reminds him way too much of that big party planet all those months ago... and, well, the extra year that it brought.

So he spent the night in a hotel in R1, rather than deal with the effects of the plants at home.

Apparently someone knew where he went, because there's a heart right by the door of the hotel room when he wakes up and steps out. He takes it just as something that the hotel does, until he steps out of the place itself, and there's another heart there too. Well, they tried.

"That's... something. Suppose this one's for everyone, hm?"

[WILDCARD]

[liquid doesn't have a special someone, so sorry if he gets all flirty and shit. that's what he gets for living in r3. he will not be happy about that. got your own ideas that aren't these? hit me. or plot with me here or at

agentkaz!]

[Kauto R3 - Tanglesnake hunt]

[It doesn't take a whole lot of prompting to get Asriel in on this contest too. While his siblings may have better experience hunting tanglesnakes than he does, it can't hurt for all three of them to make an attempt to win whatever prize is being offered.

Besides, it just sounds like fun!

As Asriel navigates through trees, foliage, and walkways, he starts to get caught up in the excitement. Every time he catches sight of what he thinks is a yellow tail, he turns and dashes at it - whether or not people are in his path. And some point, he starts jumping across tree branches, some of them which are a little too far for a young monster his size.

After catching sight of what he thinks is the Tanglesnake he's looking for, he backs up with a butt wiggle - about to make a long, very risky leap from the walkway he's standing on to one of the trees. This jump may be just a little too far for him.

Stop him? Or see if he makes it?]

[Long, risky leap from a walkway to a branching, dubiously-stable support? Sounds like fun. Rinzler's perched in a branch not far up, scans flashing after the disappearing shape. He'll pause in his own pursuit long enough to watch, though.]

RIP whoever gets paired up with this asshole

By which I mean, sign Krieg up!

Someone will end up signing Mettaton up or convincing him. So YEAH. Signing Mettaton up ofc.

[Asriel backs up a little more, completely focused on the branch dangling in front of him. He sprints forward, feet kicking off of the platform as he lunges forward.

And he promptly drops, a few inches short of his intended platform.

There's a surprised and panicked cry, a rustle of leaves and tree branches, and fuzzy white limbs flailing against air. Despite everything, he doesn't manage to plummet to an unfortunate death. He manages to catch himself on a slightly smaller, less stable tree branch. After a little bit of scrambling and the branch straining under him, he digs his clawed feet and hands into the tree.]

W-whew...

[This isn't really... an ideal situation to be in, but it definitely could be worse.]

Ginko is inevitably gonna wind up getting pulled into it, so!

[Between the leaping, the falling, and the catching, Asriel's probably a little distracted. Too much to hear the catch and skip to a certain program's sound... or the motion that comes after.

What he will notice? Impact. A circuit-lined hand scoops under Asriel's reaching arms, neatly pulling the monster from his shaky grasp on the tree. Rinzler's other hand is wrapped around one of his batons, currently rezzing a grappling line that extends above both of them into the tree.

It retracts with the flick of a wrist, leaving them both rising up toward the branch Asriel had aimed for. Noise ticks out in quiet accompaniment, only a slight grumble to the pitch. A little higher next time, beta.]
