announcements.

[vivariummods]

Hello, test subjects! This is a pretty important announcement with lots of things, so please read this carefully:

✖ Please welcome Dani, Dee, and Erry to the game! They are our newest test subjects to Vivarium, so introduce yourselves, exchange contact info, plot, and such on here.
✖ We will have your Elevator post up momentarily to get you started in the game. With this first puzzle, it will last 3 OOC days and 1 IC day, and we will send out individual private plurks to each one of you for coordinating with the mods for this.

✖ We will also send out another private plurk between all three of you to decide which puzzle room you would like to do: the Confinement Room, the Incinerator, or the Infirmary. If any players have suggestions for them, you may comment below!
✖ Make sure that you comment to our first Activity Check! Newcomers must also comment, but with the exemption form. This post doubles as a game/mod HMD so please use that too for any concerns.

✖ Starting today (Day 10), there will be an approximate of two OOC weeks to take a break from AB Rounds (asides from the one that newly joined will do), but worry not, we will have other events for you to partake in during this time (including ways to gain BP).

✖ Everyone, besides the newly arrived characters, will realize that their bracelets will not display any colour or status (SOLO or PAIR). The BP will be a simple grey colour, and there will be nothing underneath it.

✖ One of our players, Courtney (Aoi's player), has created a few plurk emoticons for the game, so we thank her for them! They are:

✖ We will have our Mario Party game on August 7th, starting at 9PM EST, lasting for 3 OOC days and 1 IC day. We hope to see everyone there!

✖ Finally, please make use of our plot/puzzle room suggestions page! We will always love to see what we can all think up of.

Phew, that was a lot. We hope we didn't bore any of you, but as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please use our mod contact page and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading!

Hello! I'm Dani and I will be bringing in Akiko from Time of Eve! Her hobbies include making friends, talking at the speed of light, and hanging out at cafés, which makes her a perfect fit for a death game. Probably. Maybe?

My plurk is danidanidanica if you'd like to get a hold of me, although I can also usually be found on AIM at greenmorningstar!

It's nice to meet you all!

[detectiveofthewest]

Oh my lord, I love that show. Hi there, I'm Tetra and I play Heiji, who enjoys solving murder mysteries except he does not remember that part. Nice to meet you!

[friendofeve]

Holy crap people who know it. Hi there, it's nice to meet you!!

[puzzlinglad]

Absolutely a perfect fit, you make so many friends when in a horrible murder game you know

It's nice to meet you Dani! I'm Hal, I play young Hershel Layton for reasons beyond me. I have a feeling they'll get along, friendly people who probably shouldn't be so friendly in a fricken murder game...

[friendofeve]

Right? I mean, in a deadly game like this, who wouldn't want to be friends?

...Anyone? Friendship? Please?

It'll be fun to see how these two interact, since it sounds like they have similar mindsets! I can't wait to play with you, Hal!

[puzzlinglad]

Look at all the nice people too! A scary resident evil guy, ema the probably mad scientist, zelos and his fabulous hair... the friendship potential here is off the charts, let's be real.

they'll probably make everyone want to punch them with their sickeningly good attitudes about this, aka perfect. and thanks! i can't wait to read everyone's elevator rooms when they finish, they're super fun B)

[friendofeve]

We are all going to get along SO WELL I can feel it in my bones.

They can just be the super cheerful friendship team. Haters gonna hate and all that BD

Akiko's may be potentially hilarious with how fail she is at puzzles but we shall see.

[puzzlinglad]

this really is just the making of a big happy shonen anime about friendship right? Spearheaded by team friendship forever here

LMAO if it makes her feel any better Jake managed to get his entire team injured because he tried to force a puzzle, surely nothing can beat that... and if it can I'm more excited

[friendofeve]

They'll warm up to the idea eventually! And then we can become a ragtag group of pals who will totally risk their own lives for the others. It'll be great.

And... oh dear. If anything, Akiko's more likely to cause trouble out of incompetence, so hopefully that doesn't end quite as badly-?!

Hello, hello!

I'm Erry, and I'm going to be playing Inazuma Eleven GO!'s Kariya Masaki. He's a two-faced little shit from a canon where soccer is basically the most important thing ever and can be, depending on the time of day, a sweet, polite kid or a shady, terrible brat. So, enjoy him!

As for me, I'm over on Plurk at cupiditas and occasionally on AIM as errycupid, but I definitely recommend the former for getting in touch with me most of the time. Looking forward to playing with all of you!

[fairsfair]

clearly this nice girl will get along very well with betrayal boy over here

[fairsfair]

Hi there Erry! It's nice to meet you. I'm Ichi and I play Jake here from Resident Evil 6.

The only thing I know about Inazuma Eleven GO! is... yeah, soccer sounds super intense and there's things like



yeah.... IT SEEMS SUPER INTENSE

[friendofeve]

She will friendship you so hard whether you like it or not.

[fairsfair]

ew friendship get that foreign thing out of here

Hello welcome! I'm Hal, i play Hershel Layton here when he's young and stupid.

I'm looking forward to playing with you B) i know basically nothing about soccer and Hershel probably doesn't either so it'll be an adventure...

[friendofeve]

Nope, sorry buster, you're stuck with her.

[detectiveofthewest]

Oh a soccer player eh?

Hi there, I'm Tetra and I play Heiji from Detective Conan! If he could remember his friends maybe the soccer would remind him of someone :')

[blind_badass]

Oh I saw that show! Nice to meet you, I'm Belmont and I play Snake from 999, although at this point, he's still called Light. Until I can come up with a good reason to have him be named Snake.

[blind_badass]

So...you play soccer so hard that things catch on fire?

Mario Party question

[blind_badass]

If Snake is allowed to familiarize himself with the controls and the sounds of what all the actions do for about a half and hour, he could play BUT he needs to have someone pair up with him.

[netting_nettles]

They play soccer so hard that it eventually warps the human genome and creates a race of superhuman mutant kids. I'm not even kidding; that's canon.

Inazuma is a little bit silly.

[friendofeve]

Excellent, that makes me happy to know! Though considering the themes of the Zero Escape series, I suppose it shouldn't be so surprising to see a few people here know of it |Da

Nice to meetcha! I can't wait to play with you here!

[blind_badass]

That's certainly some epic soccer playing.

[vivariummods]

In order to accommodate Snake, we have come up with the following:

He will be given a physical braille map that is an exact copy of the Mario Party map, with descriptions of which what each square has (either it's one just gaining coins, losing coins, if there's something else, etc). The buttons on his controller will have engraved markings of A, B, Y, and X, so he can clearly tell which is which. Each text box in the game will be read out loud, so he can understand what is being said. This includes the instructions for the mini-games (which will do our best to tailor to Snake's blindness).

We are hoping to make this as best as possible for Snake, so he can play on his own. However, if you like, we can certainly have him paired up with someone instead and share the same fate as them. It is up to you and what you would like.

[blind_badass]

Given this and a chance to just figure out what all the sounds are and a chance to study the map, I think this would help. If he ends up winning, that would just be badass. XD
