INFO

What is this?
WE'RE BACK BABY

This is a small, short, private game run by Coco! If you received a direct invitation from me, you're good to go.

Characters will receive an invitation in the mail with an offer to join a "fun, 4-week television program" with compensation! Wow! The reward for participating in the program is several wishes being granted, as long as you put in the work to earn it! Characters' stays will be sponsored by different companies such as Maid Shadow Legends, Goodbye Fresh, and more – and these sponsors are gracious enough to offer little rewards to the characters. ... As long as they, again, put in the work to earn them.

What they don't know is that this program is a reality television show in which characters will all be sharing one big, giant house, and will be presented with weekly challenges. Successful completion of the challenges will net them their promised rewards! Just be prepared, for some unexpected mishaps may pop up...

Cool, how do I join?
Direct invite from Coco.

Are there reserves and apps?
Yes and yes.
Reserves will open on Saturday, April 4th at noon eastern.
Originally, I didn't have applications, but I kinda made one because I need certain info from everyone.

How is this game formatted?
Four weeks total. The format is as follows:

• Sunday: Weekly log + challenge goes up at noon EST
  
• Monday - Thursday: Freeform play that you guys can do with the prompts given from Sunday.
  Friday: Continuation of the above, but Gossip Roundups will be due on this day. More info on that right below!
  
• Saturday: An IC Gossip Roundup will be posted consisting of the characters' happenings from that week, good and bad, based on player submissions. Secret interactions are absolutely welcome to be aired out in front of everyone and their dogs. This is also when challenge submissions will be due and rewards will be distributed accordingly. Activity check is also due every Saturday at 11:59pm eastern.

Who can we play? Is there a cap?
Anyone over the age of 16. No age requirements as I will not be writing any mature content on my end. Just use your best judgement please! Characters over 8'0" will be shrunk to human size. 2 characters per canon, with the exception of OCs, which will be capped at 3.

Are powers on?
Yep! The only "nerfs" are that characters will not feel that their power is at 100%. They can use them on the environment, to fight each other – but anything that would destroy the entire town is off-limits. If you want to cause property damage to the house, let me know.......sweats.......

Are there regains?
Yep! When you apply, you can list three personal items for your character to potentially regain while they're here. These items can be...quite literally anything, though I am limiting weapons and animal companions to one (1) of each per character.

Characters can regain items through completing weekly challenges. The one caveat is they are distributed via gacha, so another character can end up with one of their items. They are more than welcome to take it back...in whatever way they'd like...

What's housing like?
It's a modern, giant house that is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances. There's a large kitchen with enough space for several people to work in it, a living room area, several bedrooms with a bathroom in each one. This will be detailed more in the Round 2 Locations Page, coming soon!

Also, you're all in shared bedrooms! Have fun.

What's AC?
5 comments every week, due Saturdays at 11:59pm eastern.

What if I have to bow out?
That's fine! Just let me know asap, and I'll probably end up putting your character on autopilot unless you request otherwise.

Is character death allowed?
Sure! They'll just respawn after being dead for a few hours. There is no permadeath in this game, but I am here for the chaos.

Do we get communication devices?
Yep! All characters will be provided with a cellphone that works...pretty much like a regular cellphone does. There will also be short IC character profiles that people can access through the cellphone. Enjoy!

My character doesn't know how to use technology!
Great! It's a good thing everyone will get a general debriefing upon arrival, officially before the game starts ICly. They will be shown an instructional Powerpoint upon acceptance to the program that details their assigned job, how to use their phone, and an overview of the town.

What if my character has special dietary needs (i.e. vampires)?
Great question! They will find what they need in a special section of the grocery store. Buy some blood bags or what have you, it's all good.

I have a question that wasn't answered here!
That's fine! There's a channel on the Discord that you can use for questions. I'd prefer it if they were asked there, actually, since we're all in it!
