At first, only those involved with last year's circus incidents are called over, but soon the word spreads across the rest of the Mirstone Beacon Travelers. Beacon had managed to capture one of those working at the circus, and managed to pry some information out of them, clues and hints that lead them out of the safety of the pocket dimension into the Astral Sea surrounding it. Thus, another branch of Beacon was called to action: S.T.a.R.S., a group who's job is to sail the infinite space before them looking for survivors from destroyed worlds. More leads were uncovered, and the fleet returns to Pylos to restock and rest before sailing again. Of course, with the involvement of some Mirstone Travelers with the events that prompted the exploration in the first place, an invitation was extended to board onto the ship and assist the search.
Take the chance, pick a ship, introduce yourself to the crew and sail off into the vastness of the Astral Sea, and be ready for what you may uncover.

DEADLINE: December 2nd, 2024 @ 11:59pm PST
1.) Meet the crew
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
All ships have a crew, and these are no exception. The DTVs of those who are part of S.T.a.R.S., however, have a very distinctive feature, their skin is marked by the space and stars that surround them at all times when sailing, fragments of space lives within their bodies, making them easy to tell apart from others. Maybe they'll tell you this themselves, give you a tour around the ship, introduce you to the captain. New faces are always welcome!
Current official NPCs :
Captain Padlock
Tikva
Depict your traveler getting onto one of the space-ships or interacting with someone from S.T.a.R.S for the first time.
2.) All Aboard !
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated + 150 EXP
(This prompt can only be done twice for the EXP, after that you'll only be rewarded with nums.)
Got all you need, I hope! Ships are ready to sail, leaving behind the familiarity of the Pocket Dimension and going forth into the unknown. Stars all around you, truly sights to behold. There's creatures you have never seen, or perhaps similar to media you know of, from space whales, to sirens, to distant ruins and fragments from destroyed worlds, there is much to see. Also, how good are your sea legs ? Make sure to go below deck before any accidents happen!
Depict your traveler's first time sailing through Astral Space, are they in awe of everything around them ? Maybe they reach out to touch one of the more peaceful space creatures floating about or have to face off against one of the less friendly ones.
3.) Explore the fragments
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated + 200 EXP
(This prompt can only be done twice for the EXP, after that you'll only be rewarded with nums.)
Fragments is what S.T.a.R.S. calls the pieces that appear after a world meets its end, the ruins remain floating in place, vestiges of once great civilizations or magic charged worlds with endless secrets that were never uncovered. Some of them still have ghosts of their past inhabitants, shells of who they once were, some may retain a fragment of their humanity and may be talked to, but others have lost it all, and may be hostile if met. These are places where the ships tend to stop in search for survivors. Go out and explore, join a small search party, perhaps that fragment has things left to show you or people yet to be rescued.
Depict your traveler exploring one of these Fragments, perhaps they have a run in with those left within, or happen to come across one that looks vaguely familiar.
4.) Indentify UNION Activity
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated + 250 EXP
(This prompt can only be done twice for the EXP, after that you'll only be rewarded with nums.)
You did come here following word of UNION, so, while S.T.a.R.S does have a general mission, their current focus on follow UNION's trail remains. Some of you may remember the faces you have met before, and could easily point them out if you happen to hear the tune of a familiar flute, or the voice of certain ringmasters. Follow your leads and try to figure what they are up to or where they're off to now.
Depict your traveler chasing after a UNION member, recognizing them and warning the crew about it, actually confronting them or trying to pry information out of them if you're clever.
5.) Join an RP Party!
ID CODE:
REWARD(S):

The DMs are cooking in the kitchen, and we found a bag of space horror spices!

[EVERYONE IS GIVEN 2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE EVENT TO EARN REWARDS.] That is a lot of time, but if you think you will still be turning in something late, you have until the 10th of the month to submit your creation and receive 1/2 of the reward. After that, we will no longer accept submissions for that prompt unless stated otherwise.
[THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE...] Visual creations (ie. digital & traditional artwork) must submit a colored half-body art and literature must submit at least 1,000 words. Everything will be viewed and read to ensure that the submission addresses the prompt it was made for. If we feel that the submission doesn't quite match the prompt, we'll let you know!
[RP LOGS AND CAMPAIGNS ARE ACCEPTED.] These must at least be 3,000 words. All of the participants will receive the same amount of rewards, so don't worry about figuring out how to split it evenly, haha.
[COLLABORATIONS ARE ALLOWED.] Speaking of which, yes, collaborations are indeed allowed! And you also don't have to worry about splitting the loot equally. Everyone receives the same amount of rewards!
[IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF YOUR OWN BEACON TRAVELERS IN THE SAME SUBMISSION...] They will all receive the same amount of rewards since they are participating in the event prompt.
[SUBMIT TO THE CORRECT THREAD.] You can find it here:
