Hello, Ruby Citizens! This post is to let you all know today's the official start of the Time Slip event. It'll run from today, the 5th, to Wednesday the 12th. Here's the rundown:

☆ The event is entirely optional. Your characters can absolutely remain their current age if you want them to!

☆ Feel free to have them age down as much or as little as you'd like, whether that be a day or several years!

☆ This can also last as little or as long as you'd like. Characters are free to switch between ages from day to day, hour to hour-- whatever's most fun for you!

☆ However! The longer they spend in their younger body, the longer they'll regress to that age. Memories of Ruby City will start to fade away, and they'll become precisely what they were. This process can be as immediate or as gradual as you'd like: they might spend the entire week with all their Ruby City memories, or have them fade just a touch, or almost immediately!

☆ After it ends, all characters will remember what's happened this past week, so don't do something too stupid while you're a kid! (Or do. We're not the bosses of you and yours). 

There'll be no official event log or post: once the fifth hits, feel free to start playing! Any additional questions will be answered below.

What's Mine Is Yours: Plotting & Signups

[rubycitymods]

Hello, dearest players! As promised, here is the plotting and signups post for the What's Mine Is Yours powerswap plot. We have tweaked a few things, however, so be sure to read this post thoroughly before commenting.

There are two toplevel comments below: one to sign up to have your character's powerswap RNG'd with another character's, and the second to post your character's potential powerswap for non-randomized plotting. We have included the second option on player request, with one caveat: we strongly encourage that players seek out new or crosscanon CR for these swaps. If you are concerned about your characters experiencing a powerset that would be extremely disruptive to them, there is also a way to specify what you do not want for your character in the powerswap RNG.

Finally, for this event, please plot on this post rather than on Plurk. Not all of our players have Plurk, so it'll be a lot easier to link up for powerswap plotting here for folks! And with all of that said, go ahead and sign-up/plot! Signups close at 12:01 AM EST on April 8th.
