ACTIVITY CHECK: DECEMBER 2025


Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

NOTE: This month's activity check is CHECK-IN ONLY. Players are not required to submit any proof, but must still comment to this post to check-in and remain in the game.

Players who provide full activity of one thread (minimum 5 comments) for ALL characters will be granted one player-bound free pass to use at any point in 2026. Please note the rules on free passes here.

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting. In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting. Please include brief notes on how the situation was handled (or, in the case of a thread not being complete, how it has been handled so far and/or how you expect it to conclude if possible).

  • Interactions with the two spirits
  • Flowers collected (positive vs. negative ones)
  • Any new results regarding the Pearlescent God


Please check our Activity Check guidelines on our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

» Only threads dated from December 1st through December 31st count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)

» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.

» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.

» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.

» You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.

» Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.


There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Wednesday, December 31st 11:59PM US Eastern.

EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.

For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.

You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.



If you have any questions, ask them here.


FORM: Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

Player: Leo
Character: Professor Turo | fractales
Proof: 12/13

Extra: Turo been taking it easy this month;
• Cid and Turo have discovered some old tech in Nilatast, some of it possibly recoverable; discoveries helped by the scientist's spirit inhabiting the body of a robo guide-dog they designed and built. Seeing just how advanced the lost city had once been.(backtagging stuff)
• Collected several crystal flowers, majority positive with a couple having some bitter-sweetness deepening their color; one positive being very bright and filled with surprise, love, and hope.

Character: Arlecchino | balemoonrise
Proof: 12/16

Extra: Happened across a spirit destroying normal child-made snowmen, ended up creating a fun snowball war with it and the children instead. There were survivors, and a sad spirit learned that destructive negative feelings could be channeled into joyful fun. Might have attracted a joyful spirit into the game.
astudyinviolet: Sherlock with a magnifying glass (The Missing Shopkeeper)

[personal profile] astudyinviolet 2025-12-29 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Avie
Character: Sherlock Holmes | astudyinviolet
Proof: 12-01

Extra: - Sherlock collected and placed a number of flowers because, like he told Erich, he feared something bad happening if they did not
- He interacted with memory spirits mostly
- But I also like to think he acted with some of the joy spirits saying things like "No, you cannot make someone happy on command. Sometimes they are not going to be happy no matter what you do. A prime example of such a person is my brother. I don't think he's known a happy day in his life."
- He was likely a hit with the griefing spirits because Sherlock is a wet kitten, but his advice was likely unhelpful beyond saying that having someone there beside you helps

MANTA Board Posting: Crust Station, a restaurant and bakery known for sweet and savory pies, wants to come up with some new pie flavors. Surely, there are new ingredients which have been discovered or brought from other worlds to inspire them. Maybe some ingredients from past quests or events could work. Help them come up with those new flavors and get people to taste test them.

Reward: Pies! All the pies you could ever want to taste and likely some you wish you hadn't.

Character: Azul Ashengrotto | octoblot
Proof: 12/01

Extra: Azul and Della had a little chat with the Deep Sea Girl about her recent activities/A Silent Voice quest. This thread isn't finished yet, but uh... Azul may or may not have gone all sea witch tentacle-ly to scare the shit out of her and have any voices that were stolen returned to their rightful owners.
MANTA Board Posting: Two quests for you guys for the upcoming player plot we are doing in January!

Beneath the Ink Once More: (General, 4pts)
Local fisherman has begun reporting that recent catches of fish and some of the surrounding waters of Eltrut are showing signs of some kind of black ink contamination. Further investigation has also brought up sightings of strange mutated sea creatures attempting to leap or crawl out somehow from this water known as Phantoms, not unlike the ones that appeared months ago. Once again, they seem drawn to anyone filled with negativity magic, no matter how big or small, and anyone exposed to them long enough will suddenly start to drip ink from their eyes like tears. Witnesses say that victims of these eventually turn into the same creatures as well, spreading an inky miasma in their wake.

Do your best in stopping these creatures from spreading out or try to discover the source of the contamination/a solution to remove this ink substance so that the fish and water are returned to normal once more.

Reward: A dark magic crystal. Its uses are unknown. Perhaps there's someone around who might know more?

No Rift Out Of Here: I tried to make a pun out of no way out of here but if you can think of something better go for it (Special, 12pts)

Some residents may recall an incident many months ago involving peculiar rifts that had suddenly appeared when a person thought of their home, and upon coming in contact with them, would find themselves suddenly teleported to a random location. It seems that these rifts have reappeared once more at the start of the month... except, they appear to be acting significantly different from the last time they appeared.

Namely, instead of teleporting anyone who touches it to a random place in the world, there's now something trying to come out of the rifts where they appear instead. Strange black tentacles made of shadows crawl out, flailing wildly for a time before slipping back inside the rifts that will then close behind them. If left alone, nothing will happen, but reports are coming in that anyone who makes the mistake of touching one of these tentacles will suddenly have them attempting to go into a person's mouth or wrap around and squeeze a person's chest hard enough that it either removes or causes a person to cough out what looks like a glowing orb of light. This "orb" is actually a person's powers, magic, ability, or trait that the person values the most--this can range from your character's ability to summon lightning or whatever unique skill they have, or even down to a person's beauty if that's what the character values the most about themselves. Upon retrieving this orb, the tentacles will retreat back through the rift, the rift closing behind them after stealing a person's most valued aspect like this. (Anything regarding emotions or memories appears to be safe)

Find out more or do what you can in order to stop these strange thieves and try not to become a victim yourself!

Reward: UHHHHH HELP I DIDN'T THINK OF A REWARD FOR THIS... money?? a plate of skewered octopus tentacles to eat??
