GAME LORE
This page will be occasionally updated with the basic larger plot beats, although there are smaller ones scattered throughout the game itself. It will probably lag behind actual game events by several days to several weeks in order to effectively summarize without being a play-by-play, and may be retroactively edited for past happenings for clarification and/or renewed relevance.
The information here can be discovered through discussion, gossip, eavesdropping, etc in-game or handwaved, or if you wish for a concrete IC source, you can assume such information was passed on by Ala![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

GENERAL OVERVIEW / CURRENT STATUS
It is the eye of the storm. There is peace and quiet throughout the town.
Event: March event
☀ Kaeya is discovered near Maggie(npc)'s house on the brink of death and revival, his body brutally torn apart following a battle with an unknown demon overnight while there was inexplicable and complete silence.
☀ This death is used as an example for the bingo cards that appear by the public notice board, encouraging participation as each completed task returns a star to the night sky. A completed 5 tasks in a row rewards the player with a silver coin. Completing all tasks rewards the player with ???.
☀ Rinne and Niki are murdered in the train station plaza, with Niki's blood used to "hatch" the giant gemstone in the middle of the plaza and Maggie(npc) walking away with Rinne's, Niki's, and Hiiro's gems. In the meantime, the ressurrected townspeople from the month prior begin changing into shadow dogs and attack the living. The town's population is 500 by the end of the month.

DECEMBER 2022
☀ Wave, Ookurikara, and Kaeya stalk Lark(npc) around town and later break into his house, discovering many spices and herbs used in rituals in the kitchen. Aoi and Matoba show Raven(npc) the notebook Matoba had when he first arrived, which he translates as a report of some kind. Wave and Anya learn that Raven(npc) had died in a house fire, according to Crow(npc). Papyrus, Anya, Hiyori, and Yuri work together with Robin(npc) to start fixing the train.
☀ Kaeya, Eula, Diluc, Vivi, Marcus, Kotetsu, and Phil investigate the lake. Kotetsu and Eula dive in to reach a light at the bottom of the lake, finding a sword with gemstone shards in its hilt at the bottom. Pulling out the sword triggers a monstrous anglerfish's trap, but the group is able to escape after Vivi fries the entire lake's worth of fish.
☀ Hiiro, HiMERU, and Diluc attempt to repair the broken stained glass window in the church, with trials of substituting Diluc's superheated sand glass and gemstone shards for the missing pieces, with various effects on the fake island town's npcs. Lumine's elemental sight leads her from the church to the train, where the trail then runs cold.
☀ Sans, Kuja, Chisato, and Kokichi investigate the fake island town's church, discovering a hidden room underneath the floorboards that contains a void. Kuja Dispels some other universe's magic by casting Dispel into the void. Kokichi, Kotetsu, Kuja, and Rantaro investigate the stained glass window, which depicts a tree with different colored leaves. They discover that the glass leaves soak up blood and become greener.
☀ Kotetsu and Yuri break into the fake island town's post office, finding a package meant for Crow(npc) tossed in the trash. Inside is many clear gem shards, but while Crow(npc) recognizes the handwriting on the package as Maggie(npc)'s, she denies knowing anything about it.
☀ Azusa, Barnaby, and Andy meet Sparrow(npc), who helps them summon a demon in order to find Ala. Rinne and Kotetsu explore the fake island town's forest and find a frankenstein heart, which Sparrow(npc) determines has not been used yet in a ritual, but would be a very powerful catalyst if it were to be used.
