→ GENERAL MOD NOTES
Welcome to the sixth month of Cetana! We are now more than halfway through the planned timeline for the game, so things will begin to approach the endgame. Currently, we are on an off-dungeon month so we hope that everyone can take a break from November's heavy month and have a good breather in December! Please read these announcements carefully and 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 13 is due on 12/31, and request 15 is due on 1/4.
⬥ Due to November's dungeon being cleared, there will be no negative environmental effects from the Daitengu. The town will proceed normally and the townspeople will remain healthy.
⬥ The calendar for December is as follows:
- 12/03 - Event log #1 is posted
12/03 - Rei's game-wide Shadow event is posted
12/15 - Event log #2 is posted
12/31 - Activity check closes

elliexir)Shuuya Kano (
suddenlybees)In addition, these are the following changes within the setting:
⬥ As of 11/03, the second floor of the castle is now permanently restored. The walls are decorated with similar murals as those on the first floor, with large open windows lining the outer wall and an abandoned armoury near the center. The stairs to the third floor remain broken.
⬥ As of 11/03, a honden now stands at the back of the shrine with a statue of a large bird standing on either side of the entrance. This honden transforms into a dungeon during the Lockdown with a main hub and numerous floors that represent an individual's worst fears and memories.
⬥ As of 11/03, the stone lanterns at the shrine are now lit with white-blue flames and the sign has been painted over again with white, but still lacks a name.
⬥ As of 11/18, one area of the forest, away from the torii, castle, shrine, and town has been cleared of trees. Instead, it appears as a giant hole filled with many tiny craters.
⬥ As of 11/24, one area near the castle, in a long serpentine shape, has been cleared of trees.
→ DECEMBER 3 - WINTER HOLIDAYS
- On December 3rd, it starts snowing in Hirajiro and light snow will continue through the end of the month. The lake will freeze over by the second week of the month to be suitable for skating and snow will be piled up next to the lake for sledding. Characters can shovel snow for the townspeople during the month to earn some extra spending money for the holidays.
For the duration of the month, a holiday craft market is set up by the lakefront for people to purchase and sell handmade crafts and homemade baked goods. For artists and bakers, this is another good opportunity to make some extra money and for everybody else, an opportunity to find the perfect gift for Christmas or New Years.
Also by the lakefront, four "wish trees" are set up, with emas hanging on the branches. For every wish that's written and hung, the person is encouraged to take another ema and grant the wish written on it. Characters have the opportunity to have multiple wishes granted by granting the townspeople's wishes, racking up good karma which may be needed in the coming year in light of all the disastrous months everybody's been having. More information will be given on the event log.
The log will be posted on December 3.
→ DECEMBER 3 - GAME-WIDE SHADOW EVENT
- Ichi will be running a game-wide Shadow Event for Rei, turning the hospital into a horror-themed dungeon. This log will be posted on December 3 and threads in this log may count towards your dungeon thread requirement of AC. We hope that you will all have fun, even if Ichi is dead set on terrorizing everybody every step of the way!
→ DECEMBER 15 - A PERSONA DECEMBER
- We were going to have a nice and cute December, but Archer brought up the "time-honoured Persona tradition of everything awful and heartbreaking happening in December," so now, we suffer.
The second event log will encompass both Christmas and New Year celebrations, with some tragedy sprinkled in depending on the mods' whims. Don't worry about it and enjoy the holidays...
The log will be posted on December 15.

- he's going to be super busy with his two jobs and being at the mercy of the townspeople aka doing all sorts of chores for them. he'll be working his butt off for the tree ema thing too. he may be icly busy, but if you want to hang out with him, i can always sneak in a reason or whatever, so don't be afraid to hit him up for reasons!
- he'll also be getting really fucked up in rei's dungeon. nice.
- terry is also going through a bunch of plot clues by himself. if you want to discuss things with him, hit me up for that too. i think he does this better one on one instead of trying to lecture people in a group lol
- you'll usually find him working at a maid cafe and at his pinpointing stand in the market street. pay him to pinpoint things for you.
UMP45/Itsuki Shimizu
- she's still gonna be wearing the attendant clothes most of the time, but you'll be able to see her in other clothes around this month. wow!
- you might have seen her around town, working part-time jobs. those are her dummies. she has two right now making money for her.
- sometimes there's a butler instead of a maid...?
- ... i don't have much planned for her. hit me up with anything you'd like to do with her.
If you'd like to thread with either of my characters with bonuses they got, let me know! Otherwise, I'll either sprinkle them throughout the month or just forget about them.
This plotting comment is extremely short because forward dating is too dangerous in Cetana and idk what will happen, let alone in my own threads. Please give me more threads... I'm starving... I had 0 in my inbox for so long yesterday haha...

The "attract all cats" bonus, should it include demon cats?
And 45 and Toki can get lost in the woods on one of her no direction days.

- He's going to do his best in Rei's dungeon. The princess must be saved.
- Toki's working at Terry's pinpointing stand I guess, finding lost cats or whatever he does.
- He has an orichalcum earring now from home, and that blocks all of his powers. Joroko can still be summoned, but he won't have any prophetic visions and can't use superspeed.
- He's going to learn to knit cat sweaters with Kido, and maybe they will be sold at the craft market.
- Toki is uninvovled in the larger meta plot for the most part, because he wants to stay in Hirajiro and just live his life that he finally gets to have.
- His birthday's 12/28, and I haven't decided if he's dying or not, since he'd predicted he wouldn't make it to 16.
Jiro:
- No plans, beyond investigating the Kotengu further.
- He's changed his opinion on going home from "yes, definitely" to "eh" because he only wanted to go back to save Rago, who is now here.
- Like Toki, he'll try to save Rei because she was nice to him and made a cute dog.
- He might grant townspeople's wishes and shovel snow, but won't hang any of his own ema.
- Will avoid the craft market like the plague.
- He ditches the team house on the 2nd to go live in the castle again.
- He has his powers back, which are: talking to animals and this nonsense.

toki and rei's cr is too precious and i hope prince toki can reach the princess without dying...

- he's going to start working part-time at the maid/butler cafe this month as a butler! he's also going to sell christmas-themed malasadas, cupcakes and cookies at the craft market and shovel snow/grant wishes for the townspeople whenever the fuck he has time for that. this is the month of red making BANK 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
- he'll definitely be hitting up rei's dungeon and try to talk to her shadow if he can..... please come back to them, rei 8'(
- he's going to try to keep up his daily training with his pokémon in the mountains on top of all of the above so fucking rip red's sleep schedule and free time, hopefully he won't collapse from exhaustion at some point this month
- that's..... honestly all i got lmao. red's going to be so fucking busy but time is fake in cetana, so if there's anything else you want to do with him this month let me know!

- He's not good at baking, but you know what he is good at making? Infiltration tools. In addition to a table full of weird little scrap metal sculptures, he will be making and selling these to other Persona users using materials he's collected from dungeons and the shops around town. The only exceptions are the things made with phosphorus and mercury, since those materials are too rare to sell away.
- He'll be putting those tools to use, and you can too, in the Hospital Rei-scue.
- Akira's also working at the maid café during both maid and butler phases! There's going to be a meido recruitment log later tonight featuring the statuesque, beautiful, haughty maid, Akemi-chan! During other parts of the month, you can also find him playing Akira the butler, who is distant and broody but always seems to have a little soft spot for his guest.
- He's hoping no one will bring up the shit he said at the housing log on the first. Please feel free to bring up the shit he said at the housing log on the first.

??? idk, fam. Kido's here to be everybody's supporting background character, whether you need her for bouncing around plot clues or hanging out with or whatever. Plans? What are plans. Mostly this month I'll be playing with some bonuses, including:
- Kido turning back into a child both physically and mentally for 3 days and she is going to terrorize the town kicking and punching whoever pisses her off
- She has a hat of infinite rabbits if anybody is comfortable slaughtering cute rabbits and knows how to prepare rabbit meat? An infinite supply of meat... it would cut grocery expenses, at least. People can also have a pet rabbit I GUESS
- There's also the Reaper bonus if anybody wants to meet an undefeatable Shadow and get their ass handed to them
- She loses her memories for one day... idk, memloss Kido would probably just turn around and go back to sleep for the rest of the day unless it happens in the middle of the day
- Other bonuses are smaller and I'll sprinkle them in miscellaneous threads as they come up, but the above are larger things I don't want to spring on people
Anyways, Kido's here to do 230498539894 ema wishes with her ample free time.
Minato:
Minato's bumming around somewhere... there's a 60% chance he'll be sitting in the conductor's cab staring off into space, 30% chance he'll be dead asleep on a couch in the lounge, and 10% he'll be in the shrine dungeon doing fear floor runs on his own bc he might as well recover his own memories and none of the fears are scary anyways. He's available to accompany people in other dungeons, but he's less interested in killing Shadows because they'll just run from him; the option is there if you need it for whatever reason. If you want to talk to him about plot and memories, etc. he's here for that too.
no subject
also, don't let him get attached to the rabbits or he'd wrap himself around all of them and scream "DONT EAT THEM THEYRE MINE ;A;"
(no subject)
no subject
they can be self-sufficient now and spend less on groceries... but then terry will insist that they eat different meat once in a while lol

→ y'all gonna die
→ rei had difficulty choosing between going back to being dead or staying in this world. after terry tried to kill kido, she's just like "well, this place sucks, everyone should die with me so then we'd be all together"
→ there'd be rei spirits running around the hospital so maybe you can interact with one, but most of them will run away
→ niko (her shadow) is not a happy camper, haha
Seto
→ he just arrived and he doesn't know how much suffering there is in this world...
→ he's going to work so many jobs. i'm not sure if he should run a booth, but maybe he'll do something like draw things. he had a job as a manga assistant and then went to make his own manga in an au so...
→ he's going to also grant a million emas
→ i want his ass handed to him in rei's dungeon. who wants to die with him
→ i also want him to read some of the shadows' minds and immediately go hm nope bad idea fuck

-People have Expectations for him now and he wants to meet them, so he'll be trying to help out with Rei's dungeon for sure.
-He'll also be helping out with emas and snow shoveling! Unless someone kidnaps him into the maid/butler café I guess.
-Please hang out with him for quests.
Rio:
-She's two years older and ready to babysit everyone here.
-Which means she'll be going into Rei's dungeon even though her super past self probably fucked her over there AHAHAHA whoops.
-She'll be making cute little animal plushies for the craft fair! none of them are dogs.
-Please also hang out with her for quests.
