Hi guys! We come to you this evening wishing we were offering better news, however, we the mods have realized keeping the game running takes a lot more mental energy than we have currently, and it isn't fair to you, the players, to leave you hanging while we try to organize things.

We thank you so, so much for coming to play with us and giving us the chance to put the world from our minds into some sort of reality. It's been so much fun these past months, and we hope we can all still enjoy playing with one another in other games!

That being said, Cycle of Ages is officially closed. Thank you all once again for your excitement, involvement, and drive! It's been so much fun!

NOVEMBER RECAP!


November was a quiet month. Something happened to Airy at the end of October, and she’s been scarce since. What did happen at that party anyway? It looks like some of the NPC’s have looked into it and those arriving are receiving odd stares from those living in HQ.

The pattern of arrival is now random! There have been a few arrives since and it’s certainly a noticeable change. Luckily no one is appearing in weird places again.


ADMINISTRATION DETAILS


We're looking to get an ad together for Cycle and pull in more players. If there are ways you think we should get this game out there please let us know! Cycle is meant to be fun, low stress, with a world that you can dive into as much or as little as you want.

Just a reminder, the NPCs are fully interactable (unless their picture is grey). If you wish to pursue any player plots or talk to NPC’s we’ll make sure to make ourselves as available as possible. We want you to have fun and be able to interact with the setting.

We would very much like to hear from you, also! Please, comment here with any comments, questions, or just a general idea of how you feel about the game so far!

DECEMBER EVENTS


Week 1: Cairn has decided to teach people magic. There will be a post for this and we’ve begun to write up information on Cycles magic. Please ask us if you are unsure if your character can learn magic in the Cycle Universe.

Airy will be making her own announcement and as always, it’s meant to make people smile. "Secret Santa" will be suggested and any who sign up will receive a private message with the name of their recipient. Handing out these presents will be up to the player’s discretion! Christmas in New York is something amazing and everyone should take a look!

There are lights, ice rinks and something wicked this way comes???

Week 2: Cairn made his offer to teach people magic at the beginning of the month and the rumor mill is turning. The higher-ups seem to be getting paranoid about something. A report arrived in the middle of the night and someone might be arriving in HQ.

Check out the rumors page during this time for more hints. You’re also welcome to forward date any questions you might have for NPC’s but don’t worry there are more rumors coming each day! It might be the holiday buzz or something else? Something is changing and it might have to do with those who arrived.

Week 3: Unable to keep it a secret any longer, Charles (our fearless leader) reaches out to those who've been brought there to bolster their defenses and to help deal with the spies that seem to have found some traction in NYC. Those who’ve been out in the city now know why it feels as if they’re being followed to HQ. Luckily they haven’t found the location yet but there is trouble brewing and the holidays are the perfect cover up. Traffic in the city and busy frantic people make it easy to walk around unnoticed.

More information about the spies will be details by Charles. They are human’s and able to operate during the day unlike some of the stronger defenders of HQ. It’s explicitly stated that Airy isn’t allowed to leave HQ until these spies are handled and some might see the young creator pouting around the compound.

A plotting post is below for the spies. We’d like 2-3 people to sign up per each spy and we will then have a post go up for these threads. If you’d like to be randomly tasked a spy please let us know! You do not have to be a fighter in order to participate in this event. These spies are human and you can talk to them as much as you can fight them. What you choose to do will affect future events. If threads drag or people drop we will hand wave what happens so, again, there is no stress to tag.

Charles will talk to those who capture a spy and possibly leak a little bit more information about what’s going on.

Week 4-5: No matter the outcome of the spies event it will be quiet for the last week of the month. Holiday cheer is everywhere and there will be a lot of Holiday moves in the rec room for people to take a look at. There will also be a tree, Secret Santa and perhaps you’ll find a present underneath the Christmas tree.

Please comment on the Holiday link below for an item that you’d like from your worlds. (Please note that it can’t be too big.) If you do not comment something will be randomly grabbed from your canon and it will be posted at the end of the month.

WEATHER


You know what December means right? Snow? No, it doesn’t mean snow. It means it’s cold and windy and uncomfortable. New York doesn’t get snow until January but there will be a harsh cold front and a dramatic drop in temperature. Nights will be below freezing and there will be highs of 35 degrees F during the day with a -12 wind chill.

I might have lied about the snow. It will snow the last week of December from the 24th to the 31st and then into January. It’s amazing how well New York City is able to clear its streets.

Unfortunately, life has caught up with me. Due to this, I will be dropping the game, at least for now. Thank you for everything. It was fun and groovy playing with you all.

This affects Harry Potter, Pulse, and Xavin,

OCTOBER RECAP!


October was a quiet month (if you don't count the madness that happened at Airy's Halloween party). Something happened to Airy, and no one's seen her around since. There are rumors she's around, but she's made herself scarce for the most part. What did happen at that party anyway?


ADMINISTRATION DETAILS


We're making some changes around here! This just in! Joins will now always be open! That's right, you can join at any time! Submissions are the same, fill in the form on the joins page. It may be 3-4 days before you receive a response, but please be patient with us and we'll get you all signed up as quickly as we can!

In light of this change, reserves will now also be constantly open, and will last a week from the reservation submission!

Just a reminder, the NPCs are fully interactable (unless their picture is grey).

We would very much like to hear from you, also! Please, comment here with any comments, questions, or just a general idea of how you feel about the game so far!

NOVEMBER EVENTS


No planned events. THAT BEING SAID, in light of recent events, Cairn, your friendly well, not so friendly neighborhood archmage, is going to be making another post, this time a lot less mean and a lot more focused on offering to teach those with a will to learn the intricacies of magic in their universe! That being said, we'll have a post up in the next week or so explaining how magic works in the Cycle universe, and what is expected to learn it!

Coming to you this December...


Advancement of the plot, Secret Santa, Snow, Christmas!

MOD ANNOUNCEMENTS


Please note that due to the fact that the October event is at the end of the month the October Recap post will be up in early November. There will not be a formal event for November.

That being said we would love your input into the game. Is there something you'd like to see or an event that focuses on a certain emotion or theme. An example of this would be having a Silent Hill event or a holiday event like the Halloween party coming up. Would you like to see more things in the city or in HQ. Are you more comfortable with mods posting large event posts or would you rather make posts yourself. Please let us know here! We are happy to work with you to make this game fun and engaging.


We will have check-in's in a few days.

LINKS: State of the Cycle can be found here and remember that reserves are open.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your input!

Hey, guys! Heather here! I have been consistently having a problem getting motivated to do anything with Caleb, so he's gone home to be upset more with Hanna for keeping secrets, and in his place here is one Bigby Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf, and the sheriff of Fabletown. All you not-quite-Fables but definite storybook characters are going to confuse him, and Emma? He might slowly accept she's Snow White's daughter over time, seeing as she's got Snow's attitude XD

Hey, I'm Emma and I'm bringing in Amy here. She's a kitsune from Supernatural season 7. She liked Sam so that automatically doomed her. She can be a little awkward as she's used to being on her own and surviving. But she'll warm up to people eventually. I'm always happy to plot things with her. I'll be posting her ic intro tomorrow night when I'm finally free from work this week.

Hello! I'm Nic and I'm bringing in Bucky Barnes! He's going to be coming from the end of Captain America: Civil War, just before his arm is blown off, so he's going to be a very grumpy bean. Also injured, disoriented, and worried, but he won't talk about the injured part. He's going to be 500% done with everything for a while.

I look forward to all the things and I can be found on plurk at [plurk.com profile] gavemyleftarm if anyone wants to friend me!

HELLO EVERYONE! Ami here with a fourth character. I currently place Grace from Once Upon a Time [personal profile] allineedisyou, Hanna Marrin from Pretty Little Liars [personal profile] stressshopping, and Elena Michaels from Bitten [personal profile] defenderofmen. I am bringing in a FOURTH! Neal Cassidy also known as Baelfire from Once Upon a Time. He dislikes magic and after showing up and seeing Emma he's going to need a beer. Someone needs to open a bar in HQ for this guy... like please.

Oh! I am also one of your lovely mods. Not all that important but tots worth noting. I am at EST and do most of my tagging at work!

Coffee is my life!

Anywho, I'm excited to have Neal here. OH! I FORGOT. Friend me on plurk [plurk.com profile] navigatortotheking

Its Morgan and I had to bring in my loudest DCTV muse in the form of Thea Queen from Arrow. She's coming in right when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul during "Broken Arrow" so she'll be landing either by the pool or in the pool (options?) covered in blood and shards of glass. Once she recovers a bit she'll also be looking for work outside HQ (more than likely as a bartender or something along those lines).

And if she goes that route would a real bar need to be located or can one be made up?

Otherwise lines for her along with Kristen and Alexis?

SEPTEMBER RECAP!


Things were quiet throughout the month of September, aside from an announcement that the Magic wing was open for training, that the head of Magical studies and security at HQ was willing to teach those apt to learn (post located here), and Something Happened. People started seeing things, then those things people were seeing started to bleed over and Everyone started seeing things, and experiencing things. What happened is anyone's guess. There are rumors milling around the NPCs that Airy isn't feeling well and may be in a coma, but what that may or may not explain hasn't really been discussed and no one seems to be talking.

All the current rumors circulating HQ can be found here.

The Magic training area opened up and details can be found in the locations page!

The physical required to leave HQ can still be handwaved by players OR Rachel, the NPC in charge of the hospital, can be threaded with here if you'd like to play out the physical.

NPCs can be asked for certain accommodations if they were not already provided, here, and also that characters can take jobs both inside and outside HQ to supplement their income!

ADMINISTRATION DETAILS


Reservations are now closed. Joins are open as of the 24th and run through the 3oth! Reminders will be posted about this date as well!

We have a mod plurk located at [plurk.com profile] cycle_of_ages. We'll use this for announcements and the like, but we ask that you still use the mod contact page or the FAQ for any questions you have!

OCTOBER EVENTS


September 28th-October 5th; With Airy out of commission, new arrivals find themselves appearing in seemingly random areas around HQ.

October 6th-October 12th; Characters might actually believe themselves to be halucinating. Sometimes they hear things that no one else seemed to notice, they see things out of the corners of their eyes, reflections in mirrors, anything any everything, but they come quickly and disappear just as quickly.

October 15th; Airy's back, and she seems fine! She's going to make some announcements about some things she's hosting later in the month...how is she fine...?

October 23rd-25th; Airy's hosting pumpkin-carving in the cafeteria on the 23rd, will be accepting help with decorations in the Rec Room on the 25th, all in preparation for the big Halloween Party on the 31st (Event post will be up on the 28th)

October 31st; Airy loves Halloween, and she wants to throw a huge party for everybody! Costumes are encouraged, but not required (even though you'll be sourpusses). It should be noted, something terribly horrible is going to happen at this party, and that will be revealed in the event log. It may or may not have anything to do with semi-sentient marshmallow men. There will also be games, food, and general Halloween-y stuff (and music. Like Monster Mash and Thriller).

Good Morning All,

We now have a mod plurk that will be used for game notifications as well as the ability to replurk information and get Cycle out on the MAP!

That said; all should 'Fan' or 'Friend' the account. [plurk.com profile] Cycle_of_ages

Its Morgan aka (aka the puppet master of Kristen Kringle) and this time around I come bearing Alexis Castle from the now defunct ABC series Castle. She's coming in during the aftermath of "Target/Hunt" from mid S5 and well she may look adjusted but is reeling from having been kidnapped. So cue her shock at this not being her NYC but she'll adjust quickly, her plan since school is for now on hold is a job (I'm thinking tour guide or barmaid).

So I'm game to see what lies ahead for her and Kristen both!

Hi I'm Jackie. Some of you may know me from other games, but for Cycle I have brought you Tony Stark from the MCU. He is post Captain America: Civil War and so he's gonna feel horrible about himself and is going to not want to be around people much. But for all his prickly nature he'll adapt to New York well enough. So hello and I'm excited to play with you all.

Hello everyone!

This is Ami and I'm letting you know that Rogue is going to be going home. It's very difficult to keep up her voice and while I love her to pieces I don't want to struggle with her tags. Hanna will be on Hiatus for this month because I need to make sure I can play her. There are a few other reasons but they are long.

THANK YOU!

AUGUST RECAP!


While there weren't any ground-breaking revelations in August, there was a meeting with all the initial arrivals, where they were introduced to their new "fearless leader"! They were informed that, while no one really knows exactly how they've been brought to this world, they're working on it, and that the accommodations provided were to make the comfortable in the meantime. They were further informed that, in order to leave HQ, they need to visit the hospital wing for a physical, you know, so they don't introduce any weird foreign diseases to an unwitting New York populous! The timeline has been updated to reflect this information.

The event log can be perused here if anyone would like to see the information revealed during those meetings!

Going forward, the physical can be handwaved by players OR Rachel, the NPC in charge of the hospital, can be threaded with here if you'd like to play out the physical.

It was also revealed that NPCs can be asked for certain accommodations if they were not already provided, here, and also that characters can take jobs both inside and outside HQ to supplement their income!

FIRST CHECK IN/ADMINISTRATION DETAILS


As stated in the FAQ, Activity Check-In is held bi-monthly! What does that mean exactly? NOTHING MAJOR! Really, just reply to this thread below stating that you're sticking around with whatever characters you'd like to stick around with! Check-in will run through the 27th!

Reservations are currently open through the 26th. Joins will open on the 25th and run through the 31st! Reminders will be posted about these dates as well!

See, the Admin stuff wasn't too bad, right? Cool! On to the fun stuff!!

SEPTEMBER EVENT: Dreams Gone Awry


Near the middle of the month, something strange will begin to happen around HQ, and it seems to be restricted to HQ as well. If anyone leaves, they'll notice beyond the protections around HQ, nothing seems to be going wrong. They'll also notice, inexplicably, that nothing strange seems to be happening as long as they're in the cafeteria. What exactly is strange, you ask? Please, read the brief timeline below!

September 14, 7:43 PM; A scream sound from within the forest and the Creator, Airy, crumples to the floor. Her fingers press to her head as tears begin to gather in her eyes. She trembles violently before passing out on the forest floor.

Day 1: Sept 15th
Buzz and whispers can be heard about the incident the night before. No one knows the cause but there is a private room set up for the happy brunette who greeted the new arrivals.

The event starts at midnight on the 15th and through the rest of that day. You will begin to hear whispers, see things out of the corner of your eyes. There is no saying what's there and you're the only one who notices these changes. Whatever they are, they appear to be tapping on your strongest feelings: desires, fears, hopes. Whenever you think you see them, hear them; they are always just out of reach.

Day 2: Sept 16th
Nothing has changed but people begin to talk about the new arrivals as if they are the CAUSE to Airy's plight. There are whispers, pointed figures and characters will receive more prickly welcomes... except, perhaps, from Gus.

Once again at midnight the effects worsen. Now you see them, figures from your past. Now you can hear them as they talk to you and try to guide or convince you of truths and lies. No one else can hear them. Items: posters, furniture, keepsakes can be found in your path. You can pick them up and they feel real but no one else can see them. Should someone walk through it the illusion fades. The people you see can also touch you (lets hope you aren't having a nightmare)

Day 3: Sept 17th
Panic...

Airy's condition worsens and her heartbeat begins to slow. Everything you've been seeing is now visible by everyone else and worse. Hallways change shape, rooms open up into old houses or memories or thoughts that you often catch yourself thinking of. Those in HQ will now see what you see and experience what you experience. Everything feels real and while it's contained to HQ what happens is up to your character. Be it happy, sad, or scary...or any combination thereof.

This is a player run event based around characters' most intense emotions, be it fear, anxiety, love, regret, and the list goes on. There will be no event log for this, and players are free to post network posts, actions, and logs for the event.

Please use the thread below for plotting among yourselves and enjoy our first big event!
