A Nightmare Or A Dream OOC Info
Dec. 24th, 2025 08:23 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
missrecalled_modsWelcome all Missrecalled and Misery-called!
First of all, apologies for how late the event is falling out. This has been the work of months, so hopefully you all enjoy!
Now, how this event is going to work is a little different than any event so far, so please read this post carefully.
The event has three main parts - The Resting Places, The Maze, and The Puzzle Rooms. While the characters will spend most of their time in the maze, most RP will happen in the Resting Places and The Puzzle Rooms.
The Resting Places are the opt out areas - Power nerf is in play in those areas, but characters have their choice of their own bodies or their maze forms. Each Resting Place has an exit out into the maze. They each also have a static Transport Stone which can take characters to a random other Resting Place. Each area is built to need two people for every activity, even just sitting down in some cases. These are calm relaxation areas that encourage being social over anything else. Though memories of the Puzzle Rooms are foggy to the point of uselessness in this space.
The Maze - This is a long twisting area. In this area, as in the Puzzle Rooms, the full effects of the event are in play. Every character, including companion characters, is in a fully human body with no powers and no extra appendages. This includes ghosts, charas, familiars, wandering trees, and kwamis. (Those characters are all welcome in the Resting Places in their Maze forms or their usual bodies as well!). The Maze constantly separates characters from each other, sending them into Resting Spaces, Puzzle Rooms, and just down random foggy areas.
The Puzzle Rooms - In this area, as in the Maze, the full effects of the event are in play. These areas will each pose a problem that needs to be resolved by teamwork through RP. Unless otherwise stated, each puzzle is limited to each player only getting to do each puzzle once, no matter how many characters they have. This is to encourage people to actually work out the puzzles IC rather than just handwaving on past it. If you, the player, know the answer to the puzzle, you can choose to change which puzzle you are working on or having your character take a back seat in figuring the puzzle out. If a player has done all the puzzles, please contact the mod to work out a way to be able to continue.
Also, with the puzzle rooms, while the event will continue through all of December, already begun Puzzle Room threads may be continued onwards, however, no new Puzzle Room thread requests will be accepted (please see how to play a Puzzle Room thread below) as of January 15th.
All Puzzle Room threads need to be posted here when completed. February 1st is the last date when these threads can be posted. Prizes may be given out IC based on completed Puzzle Rooms.
How To Play A Puzzle Room - Please choose a Puzzle you have not yet attempted by posting the following form here.
Then the Mod Journal will post the full set up for the Puzzle Room into the thread. When it is finished please post the thread ( here.
Please do not share the puzzles OOC or look at puzzles you are not undertaking until February 1st. If you are discussing a puzzle you are involved in with the player your character is teamed up with, please do so in private messages rather than public Plurks or discord groups. Thank you.

missrecalled_modsHello, all!
Welcome to the OOC info post for the 4th wall event crossover with Fated Hearts! As doing a crossover is a new thing for both games, this info post is here to help!
For this crossover, threads can be played in The Space Between for Missrecalled or here in the Fated Hearts log community. Please make sure you follow the rules for whichever game's community you are posting in! Also the event functions slightly differently between the two games, so please give the event posts a read. Neither is very long, thankfully.
So... why a crossover event then, if the event will react slightly different in each place? Great question, thanks for asking!
There are a number of reasons to do this as a shared event. For one, both games have small but awesome communities and there is some overlap between them, so this can hopefully bring players closer together! For another reason, this way we can advertise two small games together and hopefully build both communities! For a plot based reason, well... Sephiroth being in both games (2 of him in Fated Hearts even!) trying to fix the mess that brought everyone to those worlds gainst their wills... As many characters in Missrecalled have learned, sometimes mixing magic doesn't make things better...
And for the main reason? It sounds like fun!
For those of you already in Missrecalled, you may notice something else that is new! The Space Between! This is a new IC community that will be used for specific events. What kinds of events are those? Well, crossover events, 4th walls, and events where people in Auradon and people on the Isle might be in the same logs. This is a new space and its use cases may be adapted as we go. But since this is a community that can be posted to without joining it, it should make 4th walls especially easier to play with! Also, the mod-squad is still working on the colour scheme for readability. Please feel free to leave feedback below!
For those joining us for the 4th wall
Here is some info that will hopefully help you guys out!
♥ Fated Hearts has open apps with no invites and is currently an auto accept game with easy AC.
♥ Missrecalled has apps open until October 30th 11:59pm EST, with apps to reopen after the November anniversary event, so in early December. The game is invite only, however all current players have been given a bunch of extra invites this month to balance apps being closed in November and to try and make sure we have a good sized player base for the ambitious anniversary event that the Mod Squad has been working on. We are currently a check in only game; and the Mod Squad is willing to work with people who miss a check in, really want to app after a deadline has closed, or otherwise would like a little leeway. Also if you want to app, but don't know how to get an invite, feel free to DM this journal for help with that.
♥ In Fated Hearts you are exploring Gaia, and there are a lot of Final Fantasy elements, as well as Kingdom Hearts ones, but you don't have to know either series to play and enjoy!
♥ In Missrecalled we are a Disney based game, specifically the Isle Of The Lost novels and the Descendants movies, with a bit of an AU twist. As with Fated Hearts, though, you do not need to know the source material to play in the game! We also have a few slow burn metaplots in the works, and a lot of timing is player action driven.
♥ Two quick rule things to note for Missrecalled 4th wall: Even though this is a dreamrealm plot, the swearing filter is still in effect - attempts to swear will be comically altered, much to the character's confusion/frustration; have fun with it! The other note is bodily stuff, please no posts describing anyone changing or shirtless (or lacking other basic clothing) regardless of gender or a lack thereof if their body is at all humanoid, and romance things past kissing need to FTB or be taken to journals. Observing these rules is very much appreciated! On the other hand... As a dreamscape, there is no power nerf in this event other than that which would violate another player's consent/agency and/or game breaking powers. So you can't teleport them all home through the dream... but you absolutely can summon that 25 foot golem!
♥ In both games we are very backtagging friendly! And in Missrecalled time is a bit... wibbly wobbly... to allow for everyone to get a chance to post in events, even when RL is chewing them up. With that, please note that even though the event has an end date in each game (For Missrecalled that date is TBA, as it will be the start date of the anniversary event) you are absolutely 100% welcome to keep participating in the event beyond that date! And unlike the TDM actions in the 4th wall can carry over to the actual game if you app in, if all involved players want them to!

We Are The Young Ones - OOC info and FAQ
Jul. 22nd, 2025 01:31 ammissrecalled_modsSo... What is this new event going to be? Age shifting for the adults! Anyone over the age of 13 will awaken to find themselves somewhere between five years old and eleven years old. And their memories would be as if they were actually that age. Meaning... other then Ben and Mal, they've probably never heard of Auradon or The Isle. They certainly have no clue where they are, or why... Or where their adults are!
Meanwhile the kids of Auradon and The Isle might have aged up, or maybe not. But even if they haven't... they are still the oldest people around! They're the big kids now! They're in charge! This cannot possibly go wrong. Right?
Some anticipated questions and answers:
Q. What about characters whose ages are... odd. Like Xion and Roxas and Sun/Moon? Does it go by years alive? Or apparent age? Mental age?
A. Player's choice! Chicklet-mod for one is planning to not de-age Xion for the hilarity of her having to deal with bitty Lea. If you do choose to de-age an age anomalous character, you can decide if they just look like a smaller version of themselves or they actually get to have a childhood. Just remember if you do de-age, however you do it, they will not have their current self's memories of where they are or why. And probably don't know most of the people around them.
Q. How does the aging up work, do they get canon updated memories?
A. Nope! The kids that age up just are themselves but in slightly older bodies (no older than 17 please) with i little bit less of a child's way of thinking and point of view.
Q. What about [insert pseudo-immortal god like companion here]?
A. Sorry, Nooroo, Hope, and others of the sort will be in a deep sleep for the entirety of the event and nothing will be able to wake them. On the plus side, they probably instinctively hid themselves well before they fell asleep. They will wake up after the event. The fall out from that... well... that could be interesting for a post event log.
Q. Can we opt out?
A. Events in this game are always opt out. Just realize if you do your character may be literally the only adult in their area. Scary thought. Or they could just sleep through the whole event.
Q. How long will the event run?
A. OOC: This event will run from July 25th until August 15th. August may have a mini-event in the back half of the month in addition. IC: about 2 and a half weeks.
Q. What happens to characters who app in during the event?
A. They will have the choice to come in age-shifted or not. In the first half of the event the Mod-Squad may strongly encourage it for maximum chaos. In the second half, the Mod-Squad may suggest not, for extra "Wait what?" weirdness when the event ends.
Q. What about characters like River who... looked dramatically different when they were actually bitties?
A. Player's choice. Have fun!
Q. Wait... if Mallia and Chell choose to bittify... how are people going to have enough food to eat?!
A. Well in Auradon, luckily it is spring. Getting fruit out of the trees might take some teamwork and come with some bruises, but at least kids are famously good at rationing, right? On the Isle... well.... um... Good luck!
Q. What if my kid icons are on a different journal?
A. Reach out to Chicklet-mod for temporary access for those journals
Q. Will there be NPC TLs?
A. The NPCs are all children... those who are awake. But they might pop into people's TLs. Especially upon request.
Meanwhile the kids of Auradon and The Isle might have aged up, or maybe not. But even if they haven't... they are still the oldest people around! They're the big kids now! They're in charge! This cannot possibly go wrong. Right?

missrecalled_modsThe stone statues! What gives?
Isle or Auradon, statues will be appearing of people from the Missrecalled and Misery-called's pasts. This can be someone they know from canon or CRAU, or even just once upon a dream. The statues will last as long as the event does - one week IC - or until removed by methods outlined in the event posts on each side.
While most of the information is in the event posts already, below are some clarifications the Mod Squad thought might be useful. If you have any additional questions, please drop them below!
Thank you and have fun!
Q> Can there be a statue of someone who is in game currently?
A No, with one exception. There can only be a statue of someone in game if the players agree OOC *AND* if the character finding the statue has no way to know the other player is n game and cannot find out before the end of the event. (For example one in Auradon, one on the Isle)
Q What if multiple people would have the same person as a statue?
AThen there is one version of the statue for each Missrecalled/Misery-called who would feel that way about that character, however... each Missrecalled/Misery-called can only remove one statue of each other person. So if Xion and Lea both miss Taiki for example, there can be two Taiki statues, but Lea can only talk away one, Xion can only talk away one.
QWhat if I shared this with the friends who played the characters my characters missed and now they want to join the game? Can I get extra invites?
A Any character who had a statue of them... you may invite the player without it counting as one of your invites for the month If you use the invite no later than 11:59pm EST June 30th, and the thread has progressed to the point where the statue has been removed by that IRL date. (If you need an extension those may be approved on a case by case basis, just ask the Mod-squad directly.)
QMy character is in Auradon/On The Isle but started in the other location, which statues do I use?
AEither the statues for the location the character currently is in, or a mix of the two if you want. But the results and way to remove them will remain locked to the location the character is currently in.

missrecalled_modsHoo-Hoo! It is gifting time! Everyone currently in game is getting something, and while originally the plan was that those updating would get the biggest/most impactful gifts, the reality is that real life and some communications breakdowns meant that the Mod-squad was making most of the gift list before knowing for certain who was updating so... Everyone is getting something bigger than originally intended.
Gifts were mostly chosen based on 2 criteria:
1 - Would it have emotional impact?
2 - Would it push characters into RP, hopefully with people they don't interact with often?
If the answer to either was yes, then it was probably a gift that would survive edits. If both were yes... Where possible the mod-squad went with both are yes. So yeah, some gifts might be a little confusing to the people who get them. And some gifts will only be truly understood when shared with others. And at least one of y'all got an implied quest to go on!
Also if there is any character whose gift I did not post here, I may have just lost it in my notes as a lot is going on IRL, so please feel free to poke Chicklet-mod on plurk, on Discord, or just message this journal.
Without further ado, please look for your character in the posts below, sorted by where they are after the most recent Isle trip as far as the Mod-Squad is aware.

Canon Update And Gifting Event!
Apr. 6th, 2025 07:07 ammissrecalled_modsHullo all my lovely Missrecalled and Misery-called players! And greetings to all Wishfulls! The April Event is coming up fast and there are a few things all y'all need to know for plotting!
The first is that the event officially starts on April 21st! Which means apps for characters who want to be in game for the event need to be in by April 17th at latest.
Why am I linking apps to the event, one wonders? Well one need wonder no longer! The reasoning is 2 fold -
For one, the event's first part is all about canon updating! It is a great time for those who started earlier in canon to have a chance to jump ahead all at once! So if someone wants to play through the trauma of "WAH! SUDDEN AGE UP!" without lingering in the early canon point for too long, this is a great time to app! All the benefits of a canon update without all that pesky emotional investment in the younger self!
And for another... Everyone will be getting gifts in the second part of the event! (Both parts will drop in the same post, on the same day.) What they get however depends on a few factors. Gifts will ideally be chosen off of a characters' wishlist. If there is no wishlist for the character or there is nothing of the proper tier on the wishlist, the mod-squad retains all rights to get.... creative.
So... what are these factors that change what level of giftie your characters get? So glad you asked! One will be general activity. More active characters are more likely to get a better gift. It is a small game, even with AC being check in only.... >.> The Mod Squad has a pretty good idea of who has been active recently!
Another is if your character is canon updating! That boosts the gift!
Another way is invites! If you invited someone who has been accepted to the game between the last Isle visit and the event app deadline of April 17th, both players get a bigger gift for one character each! (And to facilitate this, everyone who passed their check in for March gets THREE invites for April!)
Also, returning players/characters who app by the 17th get a boost to their gift as well!
So... There we have it! Character level ups and gifties! Oh... and the Isle may or may not have a bit of a mold problem that may or may not have been caused by a certain animatronic's trauma induced OCD... So, you know, there is that too!
Please use the spaces provided below to let the Mod-Squad know if you are going to canon update any of your characters (and if they need new journals for the update) and if you update or add a wishlist between April 6th and the cut off deadline which will be April 19th (To give new players a chance to post one)
Alright! That's it from the Mod-squad for now! Go forth and plot!
(Oh and before anyone asks, yes you may indeed canon update to include CRAU memories!)

Another is if your character is canon updating! That boosts the gift!
Another way is invites! If you invited someone who has been accepted to the game between the last Isle visit and the event app deadline of April 17th, both players get a bigger gift for one character each! (And to facilitate this, everyone who passed their check in for March gets THREE invites for April!)
Also, returning players/characters who app by the 17th get a boost to their gift as well!
So... There we have it! Character level ups and gifties! Oh... and the Isle may or may not have a bit of a mold problem that may or may not have been caused by a certain animatronic's trauma induced OCD... So, you know, there is that too!
Please use the spaces provided below to let the Mod-Squad know if you are going to canon update any of your characters (and if they need new journals for the update) and if you update or add a wishlist between April 6th and the cut off deadline which will be April 19th (To give new players a chance to post one)
Alright! That's it from the Mod-squad for now! Go forth and plot!
(Oh and before anyone asks, yes you may indeed canon update to include CRAU memories!)
Isle Visit Plotting Place
Mar. 10th, 2025 05:29 ammissrecalled_modsExtra Extra! Plot all about it! We have an Isle visit coming up! Feel free to use this space to plot! Who is coming, who is going, who is staying put?
missrecalled_modsHello, all!
This event is going to be a little weird, even by Missrecalled standards.
The inspiration for this event is the Star Trek The Next Generation episode Darmok.
For those unfamiliar with the episode, it can be seen on Paramount+ or you can watch an abridged version (for free) here.
The short version is this: The crew finds a species that speaks only in allusions to stories in their cultural history. They wouldn't say "I have failed" they would say "Shaka, when the walls fell." All the sentences are short. There are very few verbs, and very few adjectives. There is nearly always the name of a place or a person.
In this way, very simple sentences can explain and express complex concepts and situations. For example "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" is said to express that in similar danger with a mutual enemy can an alliance or friendship be forged. The larger chain for that, for those curious is as follows:
"Darmok on the ocean. Jalad on the ocean. Tanagra on the ocean. Darmok at Tanagra. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. The beast at Tanagra. Darmok and Jalad on the ocean"
That is the full story as it is told of how Darmok and Jalad each arrived at the island Tanagra separately, together faced a beast, and then left together as friends or at least as companions.
Rarely are more than one sentence be put together this way, however. This made communication with the Enterprise crew... interesting.
But what does this have to do with Missrecalled?
Whelp, something in the translation magic is going to have a biiiiit of a break down starting on February 21st 2025. First is the written word. Poor King Ben is not going to be happy to find that every book in the library has become utterly illegible. All writing of any sort - old, new, in books, in spray paint on a wall, on a page - looks blurred and drippy and utterly unreadable. As though someone changed all the script into a language no one looking at knows and then made all the ink run.
Trying to write, the writing will look like the same running ink as soon as anyone starts.
Speaking... well people can speak. But they will find that what they are trying to say is not what actually comes out of their mouth. Whoops. Someone trying to say "I don't know what is going on" might instead say "Buzz, not a toy."
Because the basis behind all of this is... Pixar films! In place of the grand stories the Tamarians had in Trek, we have Pixar! This includes all animated Pixar movies, as well as the shorts. But not behind the scenes interviews.
Of course, characters know their own stories and those can also be used. For example if someone is trying to express that they will always be there for someone else, they might say "Sora, his Heart open" if they are from Kingdom Hearts. But remember... Just because 2 people know the same story does not mean they feel the same way about it. Someone else might try to express the same thing but say "Sora, his Heart full".
Please avoid any character using their own name or the name of anyone in the conversation. So Lea couldn't say "Lea on the rooftop with three ice creams" to remind Roxas and Xion that they are his friends, but he could say "Sunset with ice cream".
Also, where possible the shorter the sentence, the better. Let's get super creative with this!
There is however an easy mode. For the players only. This is supposed to be really hard on the characters, but to keep this from killing us the players, we have a bit of a hint you can give. Hover text! The hovertext code (With thanks to secret helper mod of secrets) is:
This will let you put the translation in the hovertext so the person you are playing with can hover to see if they don't have the spoons to parse it themselves OOC. Use of hovertext is completely optional, but if you choose not to use it, OOC communication is highly recommended.

Oct. 31st, 2024 01:59 amplantcounselorHello, everyone!
I'm Mel, and I'm bringing in a very young Vash from the new Trigun: Stampede! He's got some elements of his backstory filled out from the manga, where the new anime didn't have time to go into detail, but for the most part, he's just a very young, inexperienced little guy. And I mean very young. He looks like he's around 16 or so, but he's actually only about 6, so he's fully capable of holding an intelligent conversation, but he doesn't have the numerical years behind him to give him as much worldly experience as one might think.That's ok, though. He's more than made up for it by living in an apocalyptic disaster-effected civilization of stranded crash survivors! It's fine! And don't even get him started on the Mommy Issues!
I do have a permissions post up because his life is actually really dark, for anyone who's canon-blind. He's got some pretty bad mental health issues that could be upsetting to some if they were to come up, and I don't want to drop that in anyone's lap if it's something they want to avoid! He also has telepathy, so you can let me know if that's something you want to avoid, but he probably won't be using it much regardless.
Other than that, he just tries his best to be a ray of sunshine and help everyone who's in need, so the fact that he's starting off on the Isle means he'll probably be spending a lot of time working his little fingers to the bone to make things better, I'm sure!
(Also for some reason, even though I'm logged onto his account, the previews are showing up as being logged into my account for adult manga Vash, so hopefully this shows up from the right account. >8[??? If not, I'll...idk, make a comment from the proper account or something???)

ANNIVERSARY EVENT IS HERE!!
Oct. 28th, 2024 06:47 ammissrecalled_modsHoly wow, our second anniversary! How has that even happened?! Thank you all so much for these wonderful years so far!
For some, anniversaries are a time to look back. For some it is a time to look forward. For a second anniversary, why not both?
But wait, how will both work? What kind of weirdo event could involve looking forward and back at the same time?!
This one, of course!
In this event, each character's future is able to send memories back to their younger selves. These will not be whole scenes. Actually they won't be super useful. They will, in fact, be super confusing. Each glimpse is a glimpse, no more.
Again: None of these will not be a full scenes. In fact unless the scenery is necessary to make the glimpse even more puzzling there will be none. Some glimpses will be from the character's point of view (meaning the character's future self isn't visible) and some will be from a veiw point that includes the character. Not every character in the scene will be there, necessarily. and no glimpse should last more than a half minute.
Again, the point of this is to be a cryptic glimpse, a confusion. Fun for the players far more than from the characters.
In fact for those who started their time in this game on the Isle this will be very unfun. Their glimpses should be not just more confusing, but nearly always should be upsetting glimpses. Seeing themselves with someone they hate, for example. Or seeing someone they love in terrible danger.
Wait, did I just say people who started their time in game on the Isle? YEP! You read that right. This event doesn't care if the character is currently in Auradon or on the Isle. The variable factor is instead where the character started!
A twist! I know!
So happy glimpses for the most part for those who started in Auradon and unhappy ones for those who first arrived on the Isle.
Further - some characters in game are in game at the end of their canon. Either for themselves (as in they are dead) or in total. Well, that is where the bonus fun comes in! Because the characters are here now. Their fates may well have been changed because of it! This includes head canoning them staying in this world, or jumping to another world with another game. Or maybe they went home, and shockingly were still alive there. Somehow because they were here.
Okay so lets see, we covered that the bad glimpses go mostly to those who appeared first on the Isle, and good ones to those who started in Auradon. And we know how we can handle anyone who is at the end of their canon if they want to. What else is left?
The order.
As much as is reasonably possible, these glimpses should happen in chronological order, starting from as soon as they return to their world (or for those staying in this world when the game ends, figure about 10 years as the start point to keep from creating headcanons that conflict too wildly). As for where they stop...
You are hereby advised NOT to go to the last possible canon point - whatever that may be for you - because part two... will be using that last moment. More details will come for that when the second half drops.
For now, the best way to think of it is that your character's future self is trying to send memories back to their younger selves, but the connection is worse than voice chat on Discord when everyone on the call is doing falsetto voices. But they're not going to show their current moment, they're building to it.
Please note that all the usual rules for the game apply and these future memory snippets are subject to the same magical censoring, though you could feel free to have the "transmission" just cut out over the whole of the swear word, rather than replacing it.
Alright! If you have questions, leave them below.

Plotting Post For The Wish Event!
Oct. 7th, 2024 05:41 pmmissrecalled_modsHELLO, ALL MISSRECALLED, MISERY-CALLED, AND WISHFULLS!
Here is the plotting place for the October main event in Auradon and on the Isle.
So what is there to plot about? WISHES!
YES, WISHES!
No, they cannot solve the plot. There will be limits. And for those on the Isle...
There will be a twist and a price.
A few limits you can plot around now, while you wait for the full event to drop:
For Auradon - the effects of the wishes will only last for three days. If someone wishes for someone to be there, you better be prepared to NPC them, lol.
For the Isle - the event will last 2 weeks. But each wish will need to be posted on a specially prepared OOC post, waiting for the Mod-squad to corrupt the wish in fun and horrible ways.
For both, presume someone else will be there when your character makes their wishes. So feel free to plot here for that!
(Sorry for the slapdash nature of this post, dropping it early due to the possibility of not having power on the day this was meant to drop.)

Auradon's got talent!
Sep. 29th, 2024 09:43 pmsmilingarmorSo, in case some folks have forgotten- which knowing us, is likely- this upcoming month will feature a talent show log as a mini-event! It's not mandatory that your character perform, of course, but ideally we'd like to get as many folks as possible. Now, the reason for this little reminder post is largely to find out who all's participating and what their acts are going to be, so I can write up a little intro for each act from Sylv, who'll be acting as MC for the show.
So step right up and don't be shy! So everyone that Auradon's Got Talent!
So step right up and don't be shy! So everyone that Auradon's Got Talent!
Questions And Answers For The Wish Event
Oct. 12th, 2024 01:26 ammissrecalled_modsWhoa! Wishes?! Really? So we can just... solve the plot now, right? It started with a wish so our wishes can fix everything... Right?
Where would the fun be in that?
No, these wishes are not quite that strong. In fact, each is a small fraction of the strength of the original lamp, for each lamp has only a fraction of a genie's power. So it has enough power for a weekend of wishes, but no more.
So what does this mean? For good or for ill:
Each lamp can be used only once
Whatever the effects of the lamp they cannot last more than the weekend.
Each lamp is good for one wish and one wish only. Waste it and it is still used.
There are also some additional factors for each side, of course.
♥Each character can find a maximum of one lamp with their own name on it. They may only get one lamp per other character they thread with, maximum. Each character may only find one lamp per character for another character. (so for example Mallia could find one for Sylvando and one for Morgana, but could not find two for Mograna or Sylvando)
♥The lamps you find will only have the name of someone currently in Auradon.
♥If you wish for the ways to clear, sorry it can't do that, the mess will just, well... turn sort of clear in a small area. And that uses up the wish.
♥If you wish to go home, instead of going home your dorm room will look like the space you consider your own for the remainder of the weekend.
♥If you wish someone was there, a faint ghostly version of them will arrive (you may NPC them) for the remainder of the weekend. But anything they change will revert when the magic ends at the end of the weekend.
♥If you wish for more wishes - the first time you will find two lamps with other people's names on it. Wishing for that again will give just a poof of smoke the colour of the lamp and nothing else will happen. Except the wish was used up.
♥If you wish for food, you can get food, but anything that isn't eaten by the end of the weekend will vanish. But anything you are eating at the very end will remain with you - you will have actually have eaten it!
★Each character can find a maximum of one lamp with their own name on it. They may only get one lamp per other character they thread with, maximum. Each character may only find one lamp per character for another character.
★The lamps you find will only have the name of someone currently on The Isle
★Wishes come true, not free. And these wishes... come with a catch. Any wish your character wants to make, please reply to the post below for the Mod Squad to tell you how the wish was twisted.
★The wishes and their effects wear off at the end of the weekend
★If you try to wish Yen Sid awake, he will wake up for the weekend, with no memory of what happened, and collapse again at the end of the weekend. Giving you that one as a freebie.

Once Upon An Event - Plotting post
Sep. 12th, 2024 03:29 ammissrecalled_modsA new event is coming, and you may all blame the Chell/Mallia player for it. I was getting ready to announce this month's event and then BOOM. Insperation.
So BOOM.
Incoming event!
On the Isle side: Boom... is the word. Things are about to go boom. I wrote the event based on Yen Sid still being out like a light and the crocodile from last month's event still being on the loose... if anything changes before the event drops to either of those situations, PLEASE LET CHICKLET-MOD KNOW ASAP! And no, that is not a hint there will also be an asp loose. This month, anyway.
Auradon side:
With the winter holidays coming to an end, why not one last holiday and story time? Once upon a time, someone realized that many of the worlds the Missrecalled are coming from have similar stories. So to ring in the new year with a bang, let's share some fairytales and history!
By the by, this is a really good time to enable anyone who plays characters from fairy tales to join the game if they'd be likely to come to the Auradon side! Event drops on Tuesday the 24th, so apps to bring someone in on time must be posted by Wednesday the 18th! Please make sure anyone new to game reserves and that you comment on their reserve. People already in game do not need to reserve if they do not want to!
Please feel free to use the space below to plot what stories will be shared. I know at least one player :: Cough Sail Cough :: is chomping at the bit to do so!
So BOOM.

Bonus AC poll
Aug. 31st, 2024 02:11 ammissrecalled_modsOkay so... As the announcement said, the Mod-squad has been working on the bonus AC system. But Chicklet-mod and helper-mod have come to a point where we're not sure where to go from here. So.... asking people here to post to vote, or give other options, or what have you.
- So here are the options on the table as things stand:
- 1 - Leave things as they are
- 2 - Leave things as they are, except that players tally their own points and the mods only spot check as they have the strength.
- 3 - Change the bonus AC so that it counts only top levels you make or your first tag in, so it is more complicated to learn what counts (but there would be a form you could use) but has no counting.
- 4 - No bonus AC. Check in only and Mod finds another way to gift items and reward the points already earned.
- 5 - No bonus AC. Check in only. No more wishlists.
- 6 - Wait, what about (put in your other ideas here, please!)
Gifts And Dangers - Plotting Place!
Aug. 25th, 2024 05:43 ammissrecalled_modsSo, the new event is coming and you guys get a sneak peek into what it is so that you can start planning!
So, first thing first...
There is a special event coming up! Everyone will be given the chance to exchange gifts. But with such short notice, where will they get these gifts?! Oh no! Oh wait - Bonus Points to the rescue! For this event you can use your Bonus AC points to buy gifts for other characters!

That being said, anyone who wants to give a gift (or gifts) but does not have enough... everyone may spend up to 10 points free before touching their totals. Merry Winsol/Animus Calfacto to all!
Now.... for
Is what is coming a gift or a problem? I suppose that depends how good you are at fighting in small tight quarters... But just remember... Never Smile At A Crocodile, you never know who might have the last laugh.
Also... has anyone seen Professor Yen Sid recently????
June and July's bonus AC will be calculated soon, so keep an eye out for any bonus points you may have earned. And if you want, the mod squad can do August's early to give all y'all the points you earned early. Just let Chicklet-mod know via Plurk or Discord, and if enough of all y'all want that, the mod-squad will work to make it snow. Er... So. To make it so.
Love you all!
So, first thing first...

missrecalled_modsHello to all the wonderful Missrecalled and Misery-called out there. Sorry that this is so late in the month for what it is, but health issues mixed with this being a really involved event to write...
Remember that part where events were going to be simpler? Well there is this thing where I am very very bad at that...
Aaaaaaanyway.....
Given the complexity of this event, Two things are happening! One is that you are getting a lot more info than usual before the event as well as a plotting place! The other is that part of the event is going to carry over into July. That is for Isle and Auradon both. The Isle side of the event might continue to bleed past July, but that will be player driven and there will be other things happening as well even if it does. Probably. Maybe. I might have to shift the calendar around if this isn't resolved by August, lol.
Right! So! I should give all y'all an idea of what to expect so you can plot, right? Of course right! Before I slide into singing Matchmaker, here we go!
Isle Side -
You're going to be feeling the loss of a certain child detective keenly, he would have been of help here.... Oh also the loss of heaters. And hot food. And fire places. And access to be beach. YEAH. You all are getting snowed into the school, and with a lot less warning than Auradon got. And while you're all trapped and snugged in... Um.... >.> Something is gonna go boom.
Auradon Side -
Hello, my dear Missrecalled. You were all warned about the snow. Well here it comes. More than expected. Oaken's Trading Post and Restaurant will be - like the rest of the museum district - closed. Even magic is going to make getting out of the interior parts of the school very very difficult.
But the King and Queen have prepared a number of entertainments and other things to keep people busy and hopefully from going after one another while in such close quarters. While there will be lots of options, some things require more plotting than others.
Especially the one that no one intended.
See the royals planned to ask everyone to share stories of Winter traditions, Winter games, Winter holidays and Winter memories... And that will happen.
They didn't expect that after a week or so of that some of those memories might just... come to life...
YEP! Memory share! But this one is far more voluntary. Other than the first one or two, everyone will have a pretty good idea that it is going to happen and can IC opt out. Because it will happen when they start telling their stories.
Unlike most memory shares, lying and hiding information can 100% work, but it will take mental effort and leave the teller feeling exhausted after.
The memory share will unfold like a holographic play overlaying the room where the stories are being shared. They can be seen through, and cannot be interacted with unless the teller works hard to make them interactive, which will also leave them exhausted.
Below there will be a sign up for stories and memory shares to get their own TLs! You do not need to sign up to share memories, but it is requested if you want a Mod crafted TL for you!
For Everyone
ALRIGHT! So there we go! There will be places below for Sign Ups, Questions, NPC requests, and Plotting! The event will be starting on Friday the 21st! Any apps for characters you or your friends want in play MUST BE IN before the 18th in order to join in the start of the event and get a sharing header if the character starts in Auradon.
ONE OTHER MAJOR NOTE! UNTIL STATED OTHERWISE, ALL NEW ARRIVALS WILL ARRIVE IN THE RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS! Okay, I'll shut up now.
Love you all!
Mod Squad OUT!

Jun. 11th, 2024 02:44 ammissrecalled_modsThe Exchange Rate
River Song has left Auradon to stay on the Isle.
Doctor Facilier. now has a new spider hidden under his hat.
And Roxas has headed to Auradon!
What is happening in Auradon?
The cold weather and the snow just barely lost it's chance to race you all back. Going outside is foolish at this point and as of the start of the event it will be actively and swiftly dangerous.
What is happening On The Isle?
It is also getting painfully cold outside and the snow is starting to pile up. Because the basement is still somewhat flooded the new supplies are being locked up somewhere upstairs. Yen Sid has not told anyone where, just asked people to bring him their requests and he will see to them in a timely manner. Other from that he is busy working on Antifreeze and other useful chemicals to help them survive the winter. He has suggested that people catch as much of the snow as they safely can as potable water once it melts. If it ever gets warm enough to melt...
What is coming?
A full plotting post will be dropped soon! But to give you a little heads up what to start thinking on and plotting, here are a few early things I can leak:
Auradon - You'll want to be prepared for your characters to share stories, traditions, and games that have to do with winter and winter holidays.
The Isle - Survival mode is going to get harder. You may want to start thinking about winter preparations and survival methods. Also classes will be resuming upon request. Have something you want to pester a teacher over? Time to give it some thought!

OOC companion to the May 2024 event
May. 19th, 2024 09:56 pmmissrecalled_modsHello all! This is just a small space for people to discuss who is planning to stay on the Isle, and who is going to Auradon, so it can be plotted even before threads end. There will also be a header for NPC requests and one for questions! Thank you all for your patience.

May. 12th, 2024 12:16 ammissrecalled_modsWelcome to a new feature of the game, Missrecalled!
ZappNotes will be a place where there may be:
Small updates about how things may have changed since the last event
Subtle hints leading to the next event
A place to request NPC interactions
A place for plotting for the next event
A place where you can post threads you want more attention to, to advertise your own posts!
A place where you can post what your character has been up to since the last event, and where you can discuss handwaved things.
An OOC place to just chat.
This may vary from post to post, as we try out this new feature and figure out how it will best serve the game. I will do my best to keep these short and sweet, and you are welcome to use this space or not use this space as you see fit. Part of the idea is to give you guys ideas for what is happening in the game so you can make TLs between events if you want.
------------------------------------
Alright, so on for this first Zappnote!
What is happening in Auradon?
The weather is getting colder. There has been some snow already, but nothing dangerous. Yet. But Ben's warning seems to be proving wise as the weather worsens. The trip to the Isle will have to be soon or not at all. King Ben has given everyone the date (Irl Saturday the 18th)for the trip, and told them to be ready.
What is happening on the Isle?
The rain was really bad for a while. It has tapered down to a disgusting irritable drizzle. Still too wet to go out, too wet for the school to dry out. But at least people can go out to fish again. Not that much dryer indoors at this point anyway. Then again, the rain may have chased many of the fish deeper under the water. And the predators closer to the shore.
