2. Activity Rewards are now open! A note that the main AC has not changed, but if you are planning on submitting multiple threads contained within a log or a top level, please link an individual thread during your main AC submission, so we can keep track of what's being used for the main AC and what's being used for bonus Activity Rewards.

Character Name: Chester Fields
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Ches is invited to Wanda's Domain in the Horizon for a chat about him being a werewolf.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Network thread about people's opinions on vampires and werewolves.
Power or physical gain: From Chester's first trip to the Horizon, Ches will gain the move "Who's a Good Wolf?" which will allow him to imbue allies with benefits when he speaks words of encouragement or reassurance to someone else. To start, the benefit he can imbue is to give them a burst of energy and determination. I will add more levels to this one with any future regains!
Notable actions: Ches has been working on a noble's hobby farm and improving the function of it. He also did a network post about the vampire and werewolf ambassadors to Thorne.

Player Name: Hannah
Character Name: Jaskier
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Jaskier and Alucard enjoy new items from the Nocwich offerings in Libertas to celebrate their set up of the Free Cities art walk.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Jaskier and Ciri struggle with a nightmare of the Wild Hunt.
Power or physical gain: N/A
Notable actions: As linked in the first thread, Alucard and Jaskier set up a huge art walk event and, with Quille's help, had the first portal to Libertas made available!!

Character Name: Nero
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Nero and the Solvunn Coven meet up for lunch, welcoming Wanda back from her trip, and start planning some God Shenanigans.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: [Network] Nero picks a fight on the network because he's tired of human sob stories. (He's all over this network post, I'm sorry he's a mess.)
Power or physical gain: From Nero's participation in the June event (I held back last AC on giving him anything), I want him to grow a big blue spiky lizard tail. It's actually based off of Vergil (his father's) devil trigger form. And I want it to annoy the hell out of him. (If possible, I'd like him to be able to disappear it/detach it like he can his arm, though it won't do anything/be beneficial. It's mostly for fun and so Himeka can call him a skink.)
Notable actions: Nero willingly participated in the Solvunn ritual to get rid of his Entity. The locals almost might start noticing he's poking his nose into the death of a local elder and can be seen going out into the woods with a sword strapped to his back.

Edit: Only editing because it's a recent development but, uh, he definitely just got his arm chopped off as a sacrifice to the old gods. Solvunnites might hear the yell from the woods.

It was also not logged, but he offered (and continues to) offer his services to Solvunnites who need safe passage to altars in the forest.

Player Name: Em
Character Name: Jack Townsend
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one — talking about vampires and werewolves with Ches
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two — lending a book to Kyle on the TDM

Power or physical gain: This would be from his Horizon gain!

A short bit of tl;dr - in the fourth book, Jack (mostly) accidentally ends up taking a shitload of drugs and it pries his third eye way open. While he's rolling on them, he gets a kind of post-cognition thing where he relives a memory of somebody he's standing nearby from their perspective, as though he were them.

I'd like to give him this, but without the drugs being necessary. He won't be able to control when it happens, at least not for several months. It'll just come up at random whenever the person I'm threading with is cool with it!

Player Name: Sarah
Character Name: Julie Lawry
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Explaining the world via text messages with Steve.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Going down a water slide with Nadine.
Notable actions: If, for some reason, you are out and about in the Horizon late at night, you might pass by the crater where the Singularity is. If you look closely enough, you might see a small someone sitting at the base of the Singularity. Usually resting back against it, but always somehow touching it. Most of the time, she's not really doing much, perhaps just reading a magazine or making little shapes in the air, out of pink magic. Sometimes, she literally just sleeps there. If disturbed, she'll immediately blink back out of the Horizon.

Player Name: dai


Character Name: sam wilson
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Sam + Steve Network Post; Steve wanted to reach out to the Summoned at large to get some information, and Sam did his best to help facilitate and jump in where he could.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Sam + Wanda; Wanda worries and checks in on Sam during his time away, and they turn back to the horizon to discuss what happened, what it means, and things get a little emotional. (It starts off as network but the majority of the thread is a log format!)
Notable actions: Most notable is the fact that Sam hasn’t been all that out and about over the last month. Everyone has probably heard the rumors about how he was brought into the city half dead, and it seems like he’s being a good patient and taking it slow in his recovery.

Character Name: yennefer of vengerberb
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Yennefer + Geralt; during the nightmare event, Yennefer relives an old fantasy, and perhaps opens up her own mental block to her Abraxas magic.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Yennefer + Istredd; tdm thread where Yennefer meets an old flame colleague and they discuss chaos, the Singularity, and some possible shared acquaintances.
Notable actions: Yennefer has spent the month opening back up her lessons into potions and alchemy, and with her two Thornean assistants in addition to her Summoned students, her studies have increased as well.

Player Name: Kath
Character Name: Prince Wilhelm
Thread 1 Link + Summary: ONE. Wilhelm receives what is surely well-intentioned advice with no ulterior motive from Lucifer, regarding his sudden acquisition of fire magic.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: TWO. Wilhelm meets up with Wanda in the Horizon to talk about the significance of their Arcana signs.
Power or physical gain: N/A
Notable actions: Thornean residents may have noticed him setting accidental fires around the castle and town. This has happened only a handful of times, resulting in damage no worse than a singed table or charred book. He's very sorry.

Player Name: Arboria
Character Name: Claude von Riegan
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Claude found himself in Wanda's nightmare and it was Not A Good Time for either of them.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: On a trip to the outpost Claude finds an old friend has arrived, which is great! Except for the part where they realize they remember very different things about what's happened in Fodlan.
Power or physical gain: Horizon gain: Erase. By touching a sheet of paper and focusing to make it happen, Claude can erase whatever writing is on it. If someone else is touching the paper at the same time he is, it may or may not work. Works best on his or someone else's handwriting, and he can currently only manage erasing two pages at a time. If possible, I'd like him to increase this to a maximum of five pages some after long term use and practice over a few months or a possible upgrade through future gains.
Notable actions: Claude's been focusing on settling in and learning whatever he can about Cadens and the Free Cities. When not helping out at Mag's Inn, he's mostly been spending time at the libraries reading a lot, chatting up the librarians, or is out doing some odd jobs for merchants here and there.

[abraxasmods]

Your activity and gain have been accepted! However, if the pages are enchanted or imbued with magic, it may not erase as well as he'd like.

Player Name: Nav
Character Name: Peter Parker
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Meeting Matt Murdock - offering help + information about the current situation
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Checking in with Stephen regarding the event and promising to tell him information on the Cadens intervention
Power or physical gain: (claiming from unclaimed event award from last month!) The spell similar to feather fall. Without the same access to his webshooters, Peter would focus on trying to learn a spell that could still help someone in trouble, and this one feels like it would come more naturally to him than other spells at this time.

Thread 1 Link + Summary: Shared nightmare with Matt
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Wanda heads out to make offerings to a shrine with Thor, Nero, and Himeka
Power or physical gain: From last month's event—the ability to cast protective enchantments on clothes items. It would protect the wearer of magical or physical attacks, keeping them from injury for only the first two attacks/blows.
Notable actions: Joined Thor in his quest to make an offering at a shrine by the coast. Got her canon update and basically peaced out for a while, the red mist of her magic intruding into the Horizon space of some of the other Summoned.
