Living in people’s blind spots… they are ayakashi. They are everywhere. From those that hide to those that can fly. I’ve even seen ones that ride on people’s shoulders. Big and small, there are all kinds, but they are all the deceased, the residents of the other world. They cannot be seen by people like us who live in this world. Even though they are so close by. The only ones that can see them are animals and children. And those like me who stand on the border of this world and the other world, people of the boundary. They like depressing atmospheres. They call it gloom. If they gather around you, you fall into a whirlpool of depression.' info prayers missions slots npc bios In order to apply to answer a prayer, you must first meet the prerequisites for the prayer. The requirements listed are what you need to do, both IC and OOC, in order for the prayer to be considered answered. No Longer Valid as of June 21st 2018: Any reward in blue is for gods and rewards in orange are for shinki. Please note that all expiration dates refer to In Character dates. Refer to the calendar if you are uncertain of dates. Pre-Reqs and Results For some general Prayer questions including how to answer prayers with only a Soulless shinki, here is the Prayers FAQ link. Write-up responses (with or without a Soulless shinki) to Prayers and Missions can be made directly to the prayer thread in a comment, or emailed to the mod account with the Prayer/Mission number in the subject line. Minimum follower and exp count requirements for Prayers and Missions use the Total points Comment counts must be met by characters going on the prayer or mission, i.e. the ones mentioned in the comment request for a prayer. Whether it's an NPC joining the thread or another PC character swooping in for a comment or two, none of those comments count towards the minimum required to turn in the prayer. When the Pre-Req is a previous Prayer or Mission, you may respond to the same thread on this page to keep all of the comments in the same chain together. Alternatively, you may reply to the mod post and link back to the previous thread in which the pre-req was approved. You may not request a Prayer or Mission and its Pre-Req at the same time. The Pre-Req must be approved before requesting the follow-up Prayer or Mission. Only one participating character must fulfill the pre-requisite requirements. This means that a god with few followers paired with an experienced shinki, or vice versa a newer shinki paired with an older god, can still take on prayers or missions with a high pre-req follower/exp minimum. When the reward is an item, you may write in your request for the item and the mods will approve it at any point in the prayer/mission thread - either in the initial request or when the reward comment is posted. Alternately, players may simply request that the mods choose their item for them at random - please also put this in a comment to the prayer/mission thread, again at any point. When the reward is a discount on a Regain, only one discount may be applied per Regain. For example, two discounts could be applied to two different Extra Power Regains, or 1 Extra Power and 1 Private Meeting, etc. The different Regains can be included in one comment or multiple. For Missions: Additionally, some of these threads may sound open-ended in their results. That's because when you respond with your thread linked, we will be reading it and then responding with what you find! For NPC interactions (ayakashi or gods), we will expect a link earlier so that the thread can be handed off. The Missions where this is expected can be specially annotated, but at bare minimum the Mission Accepted response will prompt for when we need the thread response comment. When you have completed the OOC and IC requirements for the prayer, you should reply to the comment where you claimed the prayer with a link to the thread where all requirements are met. OOC would be the number of comments and IC would be the goals of the thread, like comfort someone or destroy an ayakashi. IC requirements can be "met" if the thread has hit "forward momentum", i.e. it's an inevitable conclusion that the IC requirement will actually happen. For example: an ayakashi can count as "defeated" if the battle is underway and a bonded god-shinki pair is available to cast Rend. OOC pre-reqs and comment reqs are stricter; pre-requisite threads and minimum follower/exp counts** must be met prior to requesting the prayer/mission, then comment totals must be met during the prayer/mission. Once the prayer is approved by a response from the mod account, the rewards will be granted to your character instantly, meaning they are added to your Follower/Exp Total and Available counts. **So this means that follower/exp minimum Total counts can be met based on the last updated totals from the Monthly Tag Counts plus any prayers/missions completed in the interim timeframe. Each character may take up to THREE prayer or missions at any given time. Once you have fulfilled one of those prayers or missions, you may take on another one. A maximum of FIVE played characters (so not including soulless shinki) can request any given prayer or mission. In order to get credit for any prayer or mission they participate in, any one character must have made at least 3 comments to the thread regardless of comment requirements. For example, 5 characters request a prayer only requiring 10 comments. If they turn the prayer in at 10 comments, only some of the characters - the ones that made 3 comments - will get credit for the prayer, so it'd be better to wait until at least 15 comments, or 3 comments per 5 characters. Mod Roll Note: For prayers requiring a mod d20 roll, the number you need to be rolled is listed (ie "6+" would mean you'd have to roll a 6 or higher). If you would prefer to automatically fail (for development reasons or otherwise), please note so in your comment. Any roll failures will not count towards completing the prayer, but you will not be deducted followers/exp for failing. Slots, Charms, and Failed Rolls The Slots that a character currently has available can be seen on the Slots tab, or on the full google document which includes additional information: The format of the Slots list is "Page # @ Prayer/Mission #" Page # refers to this entry's pages. Prayer/Mission # refers to those on the Prayers & Missions tabs. So "14 @ M05" means Page 14 is where the comment can be found, then searched by character name(s), then looking for the comment for Mission 05. Characters in the same group for a Prayers/Mission request will all have the same format, but it may be in different slots. For instance, Character A may have "14 @ M05" in Slot 1, but Character B may have "14 @ M05" in Slot 2 if their Slot 1 was already filled at the time of the request. Charms have occasionally been rewards for Prayers/Missions. So far, all of them have the same function: when a mod roll results in a failure, the Charm can be invoked (single use) and the Prayer/Mission can proceed as if the mod roll was a success. Failed rolls are documented in the final column. Characters can re-attempt the Prayers/Missions that were failed, just not with the exact same group; at least one additional character must be added / swapped into the group to justify a new attempt.

Ginia and Archer are going to take the fact he buys hangover cures often enough to check out some of bars around the area of the 7-11. Any information there?

Mission complete/clue request

[sageprincess]

We are just about finished here, but we have two things to note:

1. Shun and Zelda are going to check out Tokyo Daijingu and search it for any charms or other weird things hidden away out of sight. Will they find anything?

2. Hibiki is going to have the charm the cultist gave them analyzed. What might she be able to learn about the thing, if anything?

If these investigations would require taking another mission, that's fine, just let us know!

[thevanguard]

Alright, Saru has persuaded the shinki to go to the Far Shore, but he wants to be Named however he's already Blighted so Izumo is going to have to solve that first.

Requesting a Custom Follow-up Prayer to allow for a cracked vessel for Izumo, with Yata and Saru's help.

Congratulations!

Re: Another clue request

[godsoffortune]

Yes -- he has a favorite local bar four blocks away from the Tokyo convenience store. His reputation there is as a very standoffish guy, who when very drunk sometimes complains about his job (he works in sales, hates his boss, and thinks he's underpaid) or his love life (no girlfriend, no prospects.) Lately, though, over the last year or so, he's stopped complaining; he still drinks and doesn't socialize, but he's turned to making smug hints about how things should be turning around soon.

There are rumors swirling around the bar about what that means: some people think he has a rich older relative who's dying, some people think he's got a lead on a better job, some people think he's turning to crime. Nobody there seems to like him very much.

NPC request!

[unlucky7]

Log here! We're okay with him either coming into the bar or they catch him the next day from the convenience store.

Upon attempting to search Tokyo Daijingu, the two of them will be met in short order by shinki of Amaterasu wondering why two other gods are barging in on her shrine without properly introducing themselves or asking permission first. In the period of time before the shinki spot them and come to ask what they're doing, they won't be able to find anything that matches the odd little brown packet that the cultist gave them. It's hard to be sure, though, that there's nothing there that shouldn't be, since it is a large, working shrine and there are charms and other ritually important items all over.

Disassembling the charm the cultist gave them will reveal a tightly folded piece of paper written with mysterious symbols that resemble those on the spell papers seen in the forest. It's wrapped around a flat chunk of what looks like streaky, multicolored plastic shaped into a crude, tiny mask, with two holes for eyes and a crescent-shaped mark for the mouth. (Other analysis methods may reveal more information -- for further details, let us know who will be performing the analysis and what they'll do to analyze the cloth, the spell paper and the plastic mask.)

So the Futaba player is going to be dropping her soon, which makes some of this mission tricky to carry out now. Is it acceptable to do a handwave list of things Chikusa would have had her look into (with the player's go ahead), and then continue the thread with either Chikusa on his own, or accompanied by another character different than the one he started out with (Futaba)?

[listsoffortune]

Considering the circumstances, it will be acceptable if you jointly work out a list and someone writes up the details for it - this will fulfill the method part of the mission. Chikusa will then have the option of either doing a write-up to accompany it with him taking action, or you can leave a request here for an NPC.

Oops! As a pre-requisite for this mission, we need a link to a thread from the Event in question, involving either one of these characters investigating or discussing the lingering concerns they will be looking into. This will help create the topics and plot written into your custom mission.
