6 AM...Yesterday

Ok, but could you possibly finish it in the next 2-3 days? We've been sitting still for quite some time. Could you also tell me what kind of character you are making? Key or human? Don't forget to PM it to me when you're done. Don't post it up here.

Glad to see this got some interest, Phonesy. Is there any space still open?

Oh, mein God, SHIN! I knew I was forgetting someone. OTL I'm sorry! Really! I now remember I had told myself to send you a PM, but...I forgot. Please, forgive mne!

And yes, there is plenty of space! Feel free to send me a PM with the sheets! Do read through the site, though.

Remember, keep your keys in your pockets and treat them with respect.
Have a nice yesterday~

One day you receive a message from an unknown sender.

It appears to be a rather normal letter. Stating trivial things, such as the weather of places you haven't heard of and the offers of shops you've never noticed before, the only astounding point is the statement that, at a certain hour, somebody will become a murderer.

Of course, you think it's something ridiculous, like junk mail or a petty prank someone is trying to pull, unless you miraculously believe in the almighty power of randomness.
Once you close the e-mail, you get another notification from your phone. This time it says "Key App Installed". Never wanting such an application in the first place, you quickly check through your list and find it, an icon you have not the slightest clue about. There are three options of action.

If you chose to ignore it, the phone will keep beeping until you give it some of your oh-so-precious time.

If you were to attempt to delete it, you will feel the sensations known as a headache and fright, for you will not be capable of deleting it.

If, at some point of time, due to one, both or none of the first two mentioned, you buy a new phone, the message will be sent again.

In the end or in the beginning, it all depends on you, you will open the app. What comes up is not a trickster's prank, something frightening or more spam. Simply an online shop, where everything displayed to you is completely free. Not a dime at all. However, all the pages except the first one are locked, thus you can not browse around. The shop offers numerous keys, which look like those your great-grandfather used to have, but dug up and restored with a few adjustments and they always have some sort of keychain along with them. Overall, a place for fancy keys. Your basket has only room for one item and the no-price offer has no expiration date.

If you were to close the app again, your phone will keep sending you reminders. In the case you decide to simply throw the thing out the window and get something else, say, a tablet, do not worry. You will receive the same message in any way possible and go through the process again. Don't be rude to the poor phone, this isn't its fault =< In other words, you will be forced to 'buy' a key.

Interestingly enough, about 5 minutes after you chose your desired object, your doorbell will ring. Upon opening the front door, there will be no one there. After closing it you will notice a package on the table, desk, bed or simply a location you enjoy most in your home. Yes, even the toilet. By now, you're either freaked out, keeping your cool or insanely happy. Once done with the unboxing, you will find a smaller box, which corresponds with the fashion of the key inside it. Other than that, there is, remarkably, a note with instructions. It reads as follows:
1. Use on any door, gate or lock.
2. Keep in a dry, safe place, away from small children, pets, your parents, other family members and basically anyone you know.
3. It's suggested you let the key sleep in its box.
4. Do not molest the keychain. An auto report will be sent and you will receive punishment. ＼(｀0´)／
5. To link up the key with your phone or Ipod, simply get them close to each other.
6. Do not tell anyone about this, otherwise the key will unlock you, which results in releasing your soul from your body.
7. Play nice (☆^ー^☆)

From this point on, you may continue as if nothing ever happened. But, honestly, you have to be at least a little curious about this nonsense.
If you were to lock a door or anything else, in most cases, nothing will happen, other than a voice suddenly starting to speak in your head.
If you were to unlock a door, the moment you push it to get on the other side, you'll be transported into a whole new world.

Everything changes, but everything is the same, because it's different, with the exact same core.

6 AM...Yesterday

Oh, sorry to hear that =< Have a fun time role-playing on the site! May our paths cross again! =3

Also, everyone, it has come to my attention that I must point something out once more.

First of all, do not spare me information on the character sheets. Those sheets prove to me how good you are in writing and if I would even want you in the role-play to begin with. I would like to see some paragraphs, some guarantee you won't be pulling one or three liners on me when we start.

Secondly, this is an explanation regarding weapons in the game. I hope it makes sense to you. I regret not having cleared this out, but it just recently came into my view.

Weapons

There are two possible ways to posses a weapon.

Weapons can be summoned through summoning skills. Their purpose is to only create the object in the hands of the person, who has activated the skill, and may maintain it for a specific time period, which must be mentioned in the skill's description. After the time has run out, the skill is disabled, in order to cool down before it can be used again.
It should be noted that if you only possess a summoning skill, the power of the attacks whilst using the materialized weapon will solely depend on your stats, yet such is not always the case. For instance, a sword may be used for cutting, yet if a gun or other firearm is summoned, you would only be in possession of the object and not of ammunition.
Such abilities fall under the summoning nature, which in turn belongs to the physical type. They require Strength and sometimes Agility.
While they may only create the weapon, these skills can be used together with other specific skills, which require a certain kind of weapon. If you use a summoning skill and a minimum of two specific skills for the summoned item, you will gain a special combo, which in turn will lead to rewards. The combo points can increase with each slash and with each additional skill you use. At the end of the battle, your combos are summed up and you will be given something for your troubles.

The second manner, with which one can create weapons at their disposal, is through skills, which briefly call forth the object. Such a skill is "Blowback Shot" that is possessed by Victoria. It may summon a weapon for a short amount of time only for the purpose of performing an attack. While combos may still be created through multiple attacks, the user will not have the chance to use skills, which require the materialized item, thus not being able to create a special combo. The flip side of this is shown in the example I have given. Victoria's skill allows her to summon more than one kind of weapon, thus granting her the opportunity to surprise her attacker and to have advantage in a greater variety of situations. In addition it should be mentioned that if she had a gun summoning skill, she would have been rendered more or less defenseless and utterly dependent on her Key, because she wouldn't have been able to fire anything with the gun.

To sum this up in a simple manner:
1. Summoning skills: Summoning nature; Physical type; require Strength; only summon the weapon, not the ammunition.
2. Skills, which create items for a short period of time: Usually of a physical nature; require strength; summon both the weapon and ammunition, but their materialization period is shorter.
3. Skills, which require weapons: can not be used without a specific weapon.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. =3

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

I have no complaints and I'm happy to hear that you all liked my, er, Hakuren's, answers ^ ^

I will put some questions up for Harper soon enough, but in the mean time, here's a little treat from me.

Music night with Headphones presents: I'm thoughtful.


It's meant as a gag, but it's surprisingly addictive. XD

6 AM...Yesterday

I am glad that everyone is still here =3
Noel, Fisheye, I am happy to see that you are interested. Please, be my guests and fill in your character sheets, albeit I will advise you to read the information placed on the site carefully prior to creating your characters, in order to avoid misunderstandings.

Fisheye said How important are stats in this RP, both within combat and in other situations?

Stats are quite important in this game. They determine how strong the skills at your disposal are, but not only that. On a daily basis, stats will play an important role in how well you can cope with your surroundings.
For instance, a person with high Luck and Sanity will find it easier to orientate in the Lost Part, which is a forest labyrinth. In another situation, a person with a high Agility stat will find that balancing while walking in Orange Summer and on a hoverboard is a breeze. As mentioned on the site, Sanity is an important stat when it comes to detecting danger, whilst Psyche accounts for all magical abilities.
I hope I gave you the answer you were looking for ^ ^

Also, I would like you two newcomers to look through the Int. Che. In the past two pages I have cleared some things out, which might otherwise be confusing.

To everyone who still have not receive a response from me through PM, I'm sorry ^ ^" I'm working on it. Really!
