Event Dates: Oct. 4-Oct. 7

As many people know, Old Everglade is largely abandoned and for good reason. New Everglade may have a lot of current residents, but the deeper into Old Everglade you get, well… the more off-kilter and less controllable things get. It’s why most NPCs won’t tread there nowadays unless they really need something.

A teenage boy by the name of Thomas is worried for his sick grandmother. His grandmother is terminally ill and, though taken care of at Everglade’s Nightingale Care Institution, is likely not to make it through to the new year and told him about a childhood toy she had back when she used to live in Old Everglade. For this reason, Thomas ventured into Everglade’s abandoned areas and found the toy- this doll seems to have made friends, however, and in chasing it it led him to a very, very old bridge. The bridge was rickety, barely standing, but determined to see his grandmother smile one last time, Thomas persevered.

This was not the best idea Thomas has ever had. Crossing the bridge broke a series of seals that had been placed onto the bridge to cordon off an island known as the Isle of Doll. Thomas’s grandmother’s doll had been from outside of it and had been coaxed into bringing a human there to break the seal so they could become true friends, and in doing so released the dolls from the island. Though the island was small, it was filled with hundreds of abandoned dolls, all lining the edge of the island. They move in jerky, rickety movements as if they should not be moving at all. And now they’re out, and they’re coming to Everglade to find new friends. Forever friends. Friends that won’t ever, ever be able to leave them. Ever again.

Event Summary
Creepy, broken, abandoned serial killer level yandere dolls invade Everglade. If you’re there, you've got a new stalker. If you don’t pay enough attention to your new doll friend, it will turn violent. It will come after the people you care about. It may not let you leave your home. It may try to go full Five Nights at Freddy’s on you and try to turn you into a doll so you can be its friend forever, so maybe don’t let it near the black magic books or animatronics. What level of doll-inspired horror you run into is up to you, so please have fun.

Event Resolution
Characters need to go to Isle of Doll and leave a doll or toy of their own on the island to draw the dolls back. They will be satisfied with a new “friend” temporarily, so in order to draw them back this needs to be done. After 4 days, the island will be sealed off and the interim mayor’s office will announce a decree to smash all remaining dolls with specially developed exorcism hammers, now available for purchase at The Rabbit’s Foot!

OOC Details

•There will be a log posted with prompts, but you’re welcome to make your own posts as well.
•If you don’t want your character involved, simply don’t have them found by a doll or have them keep out of Everglade during the event.
•If you want your character involved and they aren’t an Everglade resident, there will be a kickass free sample giveaway fair at Everglade’s local chocolaterie. Free chocolate. And free caramel if your character is allergic to chocolate! And free blood candy pops for vampires! And so on and so forth, just assume there’s some kind of tempting edible for your character that just sounds absolutely irresistible and they’re there for the sweets fair.
•The dolls are smart, so if your character isn’t human, they’ll find some kind of weakness in attacking. Are they a vampire? Your doll got you a lovely garlic present on every doorframe so you can’t pass now. Android? Did you know that Everglade’s black market sells electromagnetic curses that disable all electronics within a 30 foot radius? Feel free to get creative as long as the dolls don’t gain world-breaking powers. If you aren’t sure, ask a mod!
•Once your character is “befriended,” they won’t be able to leave the archway until they get their doll back on the island. This is to prevent the character from simply walking off and Everglade being abandoned; from an OOC standpoint, the dolls are not recognized as something allowed to pass through the archway because they are not technically objects nor NPCs. Once they basically “imprint” on your character, it will prevent their pendant from activating and letting them cross. Oops. :)

Hello everyone! There have been a few changes to how the Genessia Discord Server is set up and will be operating based on feedback from the community that was given and a few things that we wanted to do as moderators as well to make things clearer and easier on everyone. So without further ado, here are the changes you'll be able to see now:

1. If you do not have your discord username posted on the player contact, you may be removed during periodic housekeeping purges. This is in order to make sure that only current players are in the Discord and to make it easier to identify who is who if they don't include characters in the chat, etc.

2. New channels:

#rules, a non-respondable channel that has the discord regulations posted for easy access
#welcome, a channel with the automatic new member announcement feature enabled. greet new friends here!
#gametalk is actually formerly #main, but should now be Genessia-focused.
#offtopic, for any conversation not belonging to other channels.
#fandom, for all your fandom-related needs whether it be gaming, TV shows, movies, whatever
#picshare, for all your memeing, cat pics, and other random needs
Note that #mmo has been eliminated. Please include MMO talk within fandom as we do not want to have a separate channel for every type of game and medium out there.

3. We will be adding new Discord Leaders shortly, we have to discuss candidates. In the meantime, if there are any issues please contact one of the regular game mods privately!

4. New rules regarding language use, sensitive topics, spoilers, and self-identification with nicknames listed in #rules.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this post and a moderator will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!

Just a few more updates today to keep you all in the loop about some changes that have happened around the communities!

-Events: While not all events required approval, we do ask that all events be reported to moderators for scheduling on the calendar. This will prevent overlapping events and help the mods keep track of what is going on, even if it isn't something that needs permissions. To this end, the Plot Approvals/Suggestions page has been renamed "Event Requests, Approvals, & Scheduling" for clarity.

-Rule clarification: Playercest of any kind is not allowed in the game. To prevent this, characters may not work at the same business or live in the same location if they are played by the same person. Clarifications have been added to the rules page.

-Navigation: All profiles have been updated to include all main navigation links. The main navigation page is no longer linked, eliminating an extra step to find all necessary pages and making it more convenient for players! :)

-Characters have been removed from Player Contact List for ease of updating on both player and mod side. (No more need to update with every add/drop for anyone, yay!)

-Search Requests: retired. Scope of search requests limited the number of people who were able to interact with an event. This works better in smaller game settings and any developed or partially developed request scenarios will be turned into future adventure-style events in the future.

-Job Recommendations: retired. This was a lot of work for mods for something that players are capable of doing on their own and works better in a small game setting. We're glad that you enjoyed them while we were able to keep up with them, but at this time there's one clear fact: You know your character better than we do! This wasn't feasible to continue.

-Closed Businesses: Because of the sheer number of businesses and overlapping purposes of those businesses, if an owner-character drops, the business will be closed unless the player specifically contacts the moderator upon drop for who will inherit the business. The moderators will not be seeking out new owners and will be closing businesses on character drop, resulting in the loss of jobs for any characters who are still working there. We will post an end-of-the-month report for closed businesses so you will know if your character needs to find a new job! As it stands, the employment page is extremely cluttered and difficult to keep up with, so this will help reduce that as well. By reducing the number of businesses when this happens, it will also make it easier for new characters to find a job that suits their needs by condensing the volume of options. Yes, we do understand that this may interfere with what you were doing with your character and we apologize for the inconvenience. However, there are a number of wonderful businesses open in the game for your character to get involved with and potentially get new CR, so we hope you are able to find fun in that!

Closed Businesses This Month:
-Scions of a New Dawn
-Michaelis's Tailors & Co.
-Amagi Inns
-Heals on Wheels
-Pink Sugar Bakery
-Revocs
-Arcadia Studio - Architecture and Decor
-Genessia's Tacky Curiosity Shop

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hello, lovelies. It's Mouse, writer for Evie Grimhilde, Charlie McGee, Julie Grigio, bringing you ONE MORE PERSON!


This here, for anyone who saw the recent A Quiet Place, is Regan Abbott, main protagonist, badass girlchild who figured out how to use her hearing impairment to save the day.

She is 100 percent from the end of the film, 100 percent used to having to move and live quietly and 100 percent all for a place without murderous monsters.

Please feel free to talk to her. She'll want to teach everyone she meets how to talk to her.
