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

[ Oh. Oh...

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.

[cambium]

[ He dips his head, accepting the apology but not having ready words to respond with. None of this is anything he talks extensively about, and even rarer is people asking to know things about him, pushy and intrusive with their curiosity. ]

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.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ As though they never left to begin with, he supposes. Not that it would make it easier. There must surely be a difference between being able to hug or hold someone, and hearing a disembodied voice.

Even if it is a familiar one.]

. . . Can you still hear her? And others?

[cambium]

Not her. She is not here. But others I can hear.

[ 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.

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Here, you mean?

[ . . . ]

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...

[cambium]

Here. I do not know the state of their jewels, however. They are not entirely gone... but are not entirely present either. It is an existence in between.

[ That's basically what a ghost is, anyways. An existence caught in between. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ There is a quiet pause. ]

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?

[cambium]

[ He opens his mouth to say that he doesn't know— and he doesn't, not for sure— but the look on Tsukasa's face makes him pause. ]

...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.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ It looks as though he wants to ask him something. He hesitates visibly with himself but ultimately stays quiet. ]

. . . I see. Thank you, for answering my questions. I apologize that they were so personal and difficult to speak of.
