BONUS AC

AC for the current month must be completed before requesting bonuses for that month. For new characters, AC must be submitted in lieu of the check in.

Each bonus is submitted as a bundle of three threads, which cannot be used for AC and must have a minimum of five comments from you. Threads have no expiration date and can be banked for the future, but each character is restricted to five bonuses each calendar month.

Bonuses must have an impact on the character, which can be as simple as a favorite food, or as poignant as a memento from a loved one. They cannot be a living creature. Bonuses can be common items (such as food, clothing, and tools) which are ICly requested by the character, or canon specific items (owned by the character) which are OOCly requested. Once general NPCs are unlocked, characters will ICly submit requests to the town head, who will work to acquire resources either from within the town or to be imported via train. Canon specific items will appear in a variety of ways.

Please use the following form:

Thread one: link (number of comments)
Thread two: link (number of comments)
Thread three: link (number of comments)
Bonus request:
Impact: motivation for requesting said item, emotions that would be evoked by the item, etc

W-what?! I'm... i-it's not...

[TURNING ABSOLUTELY SCARLET NOW but Lark isn't exactly wrong.]

... a-anyway, that isn't the important part. It's the idea of not being alone when it happens and knowing that you've done all you can do, if that makes any sense.

[ Phil isn't married, but he's said his vows and that means... ]

...marriage fraud?

[ That must be it. Look at Phil turning red from shame. ]

Or do you mean a suicide pact...?

[ ?? you're losing him, Phil. From his understanding, married couples— legally married or not— don't typically ensure they die together. Too many times death is by happenstance; to guarantee it would be taking it into their own hands. That's going a bit too far, he thinks. ]

[mirristry]

It... it's complicated.

[But Lark still isn't wrong, and... he's not entirely sure how he feels about hearing it worded like that, even though that's technically what it is in a certain sense.]

The other person doesn't need to die with you, just... be there with you. [...] At the very end.

[cambium]

They are to kill you, then.

[ Yuri's right, this is way too complicated. ]

[mirristry]

N-no...

[Phil is starting to have a whole lot of questions about just how things work in this town, honestly.]

... perhaps this was a bad subject to bring up. I'm sorry.

[cambium]

No, it is nothing to apologize for. I brought up an uncomfortable subject, and overstepped my bounds...

[ He didn't mean to have this conversation turn into a discussion of murder-suicide-marriages. Backing up, both physically and metaphorically- ]

I should go.

[mirristry]

You didn't--

[Wow, he really ruined things here, didn't he. JUST LIKE ALWAYS.]

... it's not your fault. But, ah... if you ever want to talk about it in the future, you can come to me. I won't breathe a word to anyone else, so...

[He knows he isn't the most comforting person, but. The offer is on the table.]

[cambium]

...Alright. Thank you.

[ The offer is on the table and Lark just stares at it, not knowing if he'll ever muster up the courage to take it, but at least it's there. ]

And you as well. If you ever want to talk about anything, I am here.

[mirristry]

[Phil tries for a little smile and manages the shadow of one, faint and nebulous but also unmistakably genuine.]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[He clutches the package a bit more tightly to his chest.]

And thank you for this too, wherever it came from. It... means a great deal to me.
