→ GENERAL MOD NOTES

Welcome to the fifth month of Cetana! We are back on a dungeon month and we will be starting our very first Fourth Wall event, so please read these announcements carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask them in the comments.

⬥ There is a new set of requests from the Velvet Room assistants. As a reminder, unless specified otherwise in the specific request, there are no deadlines for turning in threads so please feel free to submit them whenever you please. This month, request 12 has a deadline of 11/30.

⬥ The Fourth Wall event will begin on November 3 and run until November 30. It will be incorporated into the plot and, more specifically, the dungeon log. Basic details about the Fourth Wall can be found here and more details in regards to the AU Fourth Wall characters' arrivals and what plot details they will hold will follow on the log.

⬥ The calendar for November is as follows:

11/03 - Dungeon log is posted
11/06 - Kido's personal Shadow event is posted
11/30 - Completion of the dungeon turn-in deadline
11/30 - Fourth Wall ends
11/30 - Activity check closes

→ SETTING CHANGES

⬥ The following characters have been dropped from the game:
Kaede (long_live_the_queen)
León (tantantaaan)
Lying Cat (wellcomer)
Mondo Oowada (trabryu)
Neku Sakuraba (nekkyphones)
These characters may still be found within Hirajiro, but in a semi-responsive vegetative state. They will lose their sense of being and be highly apathetic.

In addition, these are the following changes within the setting:

⬥ As of 10/28, the lake's water levels are now slightly lower than they originally were. Across the bottom of the floor, there is a large rift.
⬥ As of 10/28, the lake dungeon's first floor's glass maze has been shattered and the currents have been stopped. However, shards of glass still float within the water and the floor is twice as large as the lake normally is.
⬥ As of 10/28, the lake dungeon's second floor has a consistent onset of sleet rain.
⬥ As of 10/28, the lake dungeon's third floor has constant light normal rainfall.
⬥ As of 10/28, the lake dungeon's fourth floor has heavy thunderstorms which quells some of the flames, but its heat and humidity remains.
⬥ As of 10/31, the lake has been purified and swimming in the water no longer causes people to fall sick.

→ NOVEMBER 3 - DUNGEON & FOURTH WALL

On the night of November 3rd, characters outside during the Lockdown will experience a strong gust of wind that will push them towards the shrine. The shrine doors will be mysteriously already open to invite anyone down its dark steps, where characters will encounter a type of Shadows that aren't anything like the ones that were previously encountered in past dungeons. Characters will also encounter other Persona users from alternate dimensions that provide more insight into their overall situation and perhaps learn something new about their world.

Some important notes about this dungeon:

⬥ Similarly to September's dungeon, there will not be a specific date when the dungeon boss will appear. To access the boss, ten threads across the entire player base must be reported, with a maximum of two threads per player and each thread containing at least five comments from each character. This is to encourage exploration of the dungeon, clue gathering, and interactions with the Fourth Wall characters.

⬥ Once the turn-in requirements have been met, the boss thread will go up. However, there will not be a turn-in requirement to defeat the boss for this month. Simply submitting the ten threads to summon the boss is enough to complete the dungeon, as this month, the result of the boss encounter will be dependent on the actions of the characters. More information will be given out when the boss is summoned.

⬥ Players will be given a lot of freedom in this dungeon and will be allowed to create an entire floor of their own. This floor will be a representation of a character's worst fears and memories. These fears may either be physical or conceptual and these memories will be re-experienced by both the character themselves and anyone who enters the floor, with minor deviations. More details will be provided in the dungeon log.

⬥ The Fourth Wall will take place for the entirety of this dungeon. OU Fourth Wall characters will enter the game at the castle as if they were accepted into Cetana and will be able to jump straight into the dungeon or a more slice-of-life beginning. AU Fourth Wall characters will arrive through the dungeon, but then be given the opportunity to leave and visit the OU Hirajiro. AU characters will also carry specific plot clues that expand on the differences of their version of Hirajiro that may give insight into OU Hirajiro. All details from the AU characters' arrivals to their missions will be provided in the log.

The log will be posted on November 3 and the boss thread will be posted within this log.

→ NOVEMBER 06 - PERSONAL SHADOW EVENT

Card will be running a personal Shadow Event for Tsubomi Kido that will take place in the lake dungeon. She will be posting the log on November 06 with a forward-dated IC date, and it will be a cool and chill mini-event, so we hope you enjoy it! It'd be snow laughing matter in this nice Shadow battle.

Threads in this log may count towards your dungeon thread requirement of AC, but not for accessing the dungeon boss. We hope that you will all have fun!
