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:

[ His brows knit, glancing up at him as he speaks. ]
I don't possess any powers, like so many others here. I thought to ask around a little, about how one can even acquire such a thing, but... [ He shakes his head.]
Everyone has said it is impossible. That you must be born with it. There are the hounds though, and whatever happened with the rain. Then on the island, it's completely falling apart. I just want the strength to see my cousin and my friends home.
no subject
Perhaps you are simply not aware of what power you possess. I was not, until I was around your age.
no subject
[ As it is, he feels completely helpless despite trying his best.]
no subject
this isn't about him. ]
I would not be aware of your power any more than you are...
no subject
I did mean your own...
But- [ He sighs. ] That is true. I just wish I had a more immediate answer.
no subject
Perhaps you need to be in a situation for your power to manifest. Like facing down a bear.
no subject
And you believe I would gain some sort of strength? No one else from my world possesses power though.
no subject
[ Yes, he has to face down a bear now. ]
no subject
You believe people are hiding it? Or that no one has realized their strength?
no subject
[ More of the latter, he thinks, but there are people doing a pretty bad job of acting normal. Look at you all, none of you guys are normal. ]

[ wary... ]
no subject
Please tell me what your power is and how you manifested it.
no subject
If you merely wish to satisfy your own curiosity, I must decline. You would not want to emulate the circumstances.
no subject
the power to become a magical boywith such important information... ]. . . So it is more dangerous than fighting a bear?
[ Grasping for anything here. ]
Please understand. I am in a rush to learn how to better protect the people important to me.
[ He is truly willing to do whatever it takes if it means he can protect his cousin and unit.]
I realize that may seem selfish, but I would do anything to safely see them through the obstacles we have already faced. I desire the power to accomplish that. At least give me a hint? Or is it truly that the only method is to face some sort of great danger?
There is no mountain I would not cross if it meant I could see everyone home.
no subject
I cannot say. That does not mean I do not wish to say, but the power between worlds is vast. What worked for me may not work for you. ...And I do not wish it to.
[ He thinks he would have rather crossed mountains or fought a bear. ... ]
...I did not know until my younger sister had passed away. I could hear her voice... The neighbors thought I had gone mad with grief.
no subject
His expression smooths out, softening. When he thought of powers or something spectacular, he really... had not considered that it might be something that could be painful to possess. Brows knitting in sympathy, his gaze falls away.]
. . . I apologize. Truly, I did not mean to make you recount something painful in nature. I am sorry that your sister passed, and that... your ability? That it backfired on you so. I can only imagine how confusing and painful that must have been.
no subject
You could not have known, so you need not be sorry. It was confusing and painful at the time, but... in return, I was never alone.
no subject
Even if it is a familiar one.]
. . . Can you still hear her? And others?
no subject
[ Like having tinnitus but with voices, whispers like white noise, always being watched, followed, never alone. He lets his eyes slide closed for a moment, listening. ]
Sometimes, there are no distinct words. But I can feel them. They are restless. There is no peace.
no subject
[ . . . ]
If there are ghosts here, does that not mean their jewels are intact, though?
Or are these the spirits of individuals who have lost their own...
no subject
[ That's basically what a ghost is, anyways. An existence caught in between. ]
no subject
Does being near objects of importance make a difference at all, do you know? If you were to hold a gem for instance of one of the deceased?
no subject
...I would like to think so. [ he admits this, quietly, hand tightening on the strap of his mailbag ]
Bonds keep people connected. So long as you keep them close to your heart... they will never truly disappear.
