hey, everyone ♡ some more housekeeping and important updates!
first off, we have a new skeletons page! you can use the filters on the left to see which are available, though i have also crossed out the names of taken skeletons to make it easier to navigate. on a related note, as we have over 75% of our skeletons taken, more are to be added this week!
our guidelines have also been updated to reflect some major changes.
the first one is in regards to our new activity requirements. it now goes as follows:
activity checks are conducted only on the first thursday of every month at 9pm est. to pass an activity check, you are required to have posted at least four in-character replies in the 30-day period prior to the activity check, or your muse will receive a warning. after receiving a warning, you have one week (until the second thursday of the month at 9pm est) to inform the main of your interest in keeping your character active or the muse will be removed from the roster. SNS posts, short meme replies, visual edits or any sort of reblog that isn’t a piece of writing with enough character depth will not count towards activity.
this better reflects the pace of our roleplay and my intentions to foster a safe space for writers to develop their characters. rather than writing short replies once a week just to pass an activity check, i much prefer my muns focusing on the plot and their own ideas for our little town's development. this change is effective immediately. as such, our next activity check will be on december 7 at 9pm est, and the activity check following that will be on january 4 2024 at 9pm est.
additionally, we now have acceptances on a rolling basis!
acceptances happen on a rolling basis: once accepted, you will be informed of when your muse is scheduled to be added to the roleplay, usually on the following day at 9pm est and subject to change according to the admin's availability.
i have also loosened up the rules on additional muses:
you can apply for up to two muses at the start, and you can have unlimited additional muses provided you have at least one active ongoing thread on all previous accounts.
and finally, i have added a note to the literacy requirements as a reminder that longer script threads do count as activity if you're looking for dynamic, quick fire threads:
proper literacy is not only encouraged but also required - gif icons, sns posts and special formatting are allowed, while one-line replies and gif wars are forbidden. that said, script-type replies with 50+ words are also allowed.
please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or feedback to share about these changes.
on a more personal note, i just wanted to share that i am going to make use of this quieter holiday period to plan ahead for our 2024 together.
gaenari is here to stay, lovely golden bells. steady and evergrowing. ❀

hi admin! 2 questions, 1 is there a deadline for the sentence starter memes, 2 can event threads continue after the event deadline or is there going to be a different plot drop after?
hey there, anon!
the sentence starter meme was meant to end tonight as it is stated on the original post, but seeing as how everyone is quite busy around this time, i'll extend it for another week! this means that everyone can reblog it until november 30, but you are free to post your ask answers whenever you'd like.
likewise, you can continue event threads even after the deadline! whether or not we have a new development (👀) won't affect this.

WELCOME HOME, NOEL LIAN.
our town hall archives show he is an outsider and a YUSEONG resident, living on MIRAE STREET NO. 2, and he is currently a PIERCER AT AVES OSSA.
🡒 ready to access his files? read on below ...
the firstborn of a prestigious family and a pillar to his father, noel grew up with luxuries and a blade against his throat. he was loved, cared for, manipulated, and corrupted; diluted, like ink drowning in water. his family’s acceptance and adoration came at the price of perfection. he was the standard for his siblings and a trophy for his parents, so anything they said was what he had to do. they had him develop his skills since very young, and forced hobbies onto him so he’d grow up to be a cultured young man.
noel is an artist: he paints, he draws, he sculpts, he builds – art has been a passion and his talent since he figured out how to hold a pencil. despite being a natural at it, he stayed up endless nights working to perfect every medium he tried. he also learned the piano at his father’s request, as he deemed it a necessary skill to impress at parties and to brag about to his business partners. art is also how he found what he loves doing most – tattooing. easles were lovely, but to carry art and have it be a part of you, now that was exciting.
he managed to begin an apprenticeship at 17 (in secret), the local tattoo shop becoming his home away from home. he spent his afterschool afternoons in there, using the excuse of extra credit or some fancy sounding club. the owner, Enrique, wasn’t much older than him. he was a tall, burly man in his late twenties and noel immediately took a liking towards him. he was as talented as he was free, and with his guidance, noel became a recognized tattoo artist over the years.
piercings came much later, after he’d made himself known in both social media and the community. it happened the same as it did with tattooing, there was just a beauty to it. the cultural significance of both was clear and that made him want to appreciate the craft.
personality wise, he’s unapologetically sarcastic though he mostly doesn’t mean any harm; coy glances and smug grins over a glass of wine are his signature, but he finds peace in listening to the reasoning behind a person’s tattoo - they’re sacred to him, so every detail that gets explained fills his eyes with tremendous joy. he’s not much of a committed relationship kind of guy, so any intimate relationships he has are mostly casual and he’s very strict about that. there might be an opportunity for him to find love, but it’s not his priority.
noel finds social gatherings incredibly amusing: he’s charming, eloquent, and perhaps enjoys causing an impression on people a tad too much. he puts himself out there and he enjoys all the stares directed his way, be they in approval or in judgment, he basks in the attention that he gets just by being himself. addiction is no stranger to him, be it to substances or pain itself, he indulges in every sin known to mankind.
his years of freedom ended when he began working for his father as an ‘assistant’ after finishing his masters at 27, doing all this dirty work and being the son his father carefully crafted the moment he was born. it was a difficult transition, losing part of his innocence and soul to what his father made him do; his family’s fortune was made of blood, and now he was also part of it. he learned the secret workings of society, all the violence and crime became second nature. he obeyed every order until his younger brother went missing and all he could find was the name of a small town on the other side of the world.

WELCOME HOME, CHOI DEOKSU.
our town hall archives show he is a local and a YELLOW CREEK resident, living on MOUNTAIN ROAD NO. 100, and he is currently a TATTOO ARTIST AT AVES OSSA.
🡒 ready to access his files? read on below ...
deoksu’s mother left when he was very young (the reason for which being something deoksu keeps a secret), leaving his dad to be the sole caretaker to him and his older brother.
a family of a bunch of boys didn’t teach deoksu how to communicate effectively, especially not with words.
his father truly tried his best, but could be irritable with the boys out of frustration and his struggle to keep their family afloat. he never gave out much praise or affection, always too exhausted physically and mentally. he put food on the table and kept a roof over their heads, at the very least.
his older brother also tried his best to shield deoksu from their family’s struggles, taking the brunt of their father’s outbursts and frustrations, but everything still took a toll on all of them.
whereas deoksu’s brother grew up to be more friendly and outgoing, deoksu was always quieter and more closed off, content to hide behind his brother’s words. he was pretty aimless in life and never had any career or life goals other than survival.
his teen years saw him working minimum wage jobs to help support their family.
he picked up doodling due to having nothing better to do in between busy hours working at a fast food restaurant. a few years into this, his work was seen by a customer who offered him an apprenticeship in tattooing when he came of age (an exciting
with something to finally focus on, he graduated high school and devoted himself to the apprenticeship, and now at 28 he is a highly praised and sought after artist.
while his career took off only by chance, he’s had a very poor social life due to the influence of his upbringing on his personality and his focus on his career.

hello, golden bells!
we have three new tags we can use to help foster interactions on dash from now on:
gn:intro
gn:plot call
gn:open
they have been added to our guidelines. feel free to go back on your intro posts and add the tags to them so we can find them easily - if you've updated your pages after joining, a new plot call post might also be in order!
as a reminder, activity check day is tomorrow. so how about we write and take some open starters on dash until then? ♡
