Akane Jail Planning and Sign ups (OPEN)

"I failed you once already," is all he manages to croak.

"Then..." she starts as her voice drops. "...maybe you should be the one to stay instead."

He stiffened.

"How can I trust you not to obey them again?" she continued. "When that's all you've ever done. When I was under Kirijo's control, you were so honest. You hated it when I called you Dad."

"That’s not—"

"But now?" Her eyes burned. "You don't have to worry anymore. I have EMMA."

His vision swam.

A flash of memory surfaced.

Akane. Younger. Human. Whispering into her phone days before her death.

EMMA answering.


Kyoto 2038 Jail Plot
WHAT'S UP?
SOOO we are finally here. After an year and a half of slow burning my way through this, I am very excited to announce that we will have the Kyoto Jail arc from 16th January. Canonically, this arc stretches to at best 10 days but RP-wise this is a story-packed month long story campaign. I have been pretty loud about this in discord but I think its important to make an official post like this here.

Some things summarized below:
- Keywords: Operation Cognitive Angel
- Location: Kyoto, Japan
- Monarch: Akane (?) Hasegawa
- Overseer: EMMA

This is also not only a resolving arc for Akane but also for Zenkichi BUT please make full use of the jail and its theme to elevate your characters or make them do things! That's essentially the point of this post.

Plot Document


I will be maintaining a google doc which lists every aspect of the jail in the 'Akane' section and the actual key plot points which serve as motivation for Akane's distortion in the 'Zenkichi' section: please feel free to refer to it when you get the time. This will be constantly getting updated.
WHAT
2038 Hasegawa plot and character development.
WHEN
16th Feb - 25th March
!!ORGANIZED BY THE URI MUSES
GROUP UP
If this confuses you PLEASE refer to the google doc. The main course of action is that the first day (no Zenkichi) when team will infiltrate, Akane will trap some of them and some will escape. Some will then become her henchmen and then new people will join second infiltration (including Zenkichi) and save imprisoned teammates then proceed to change Akane's heart and her henchmen.
GROUP 0
These are characters who
won't be part of the
infiltration but will
support from sidelines.
GROUP 1A
This is temporary.
This group consists of
those who are temporarily
trapped in the jail.
Basically: if you don't want
them to do anything crazy
but they show up on
1st day this is default.
GROUP 1B
FULL!
Those who escape Akane's trap
and make it back to real world.
GROUP 1C
NEARLY FULL! (2/3)
Those who get their desires stolen
during the struggle or
while being imprisoned.
They become Akane's (and EMMA's)
brainwashed henchmen and
we can do smth evil >:)
GROUP 2
Those NEW who join the
second infiltration after Akane
reveals herself
as the Jail Monarch.
GROUP JAIL
The main team with
no desires stolen and fully
motivated begin the official
infiltration. This includes
those from team 1(a,b, not c
because desire gone) and
team 2 + possibly others.
GROUP SURPRISE
Characters who play a wildcard
element like EMMA. These bring
plot twists or troubles.
Please tell me in comments what
you plan on doing tho.
GROUP HANDWAVE
They were part of the team
but the player wasn't
present for them mentally.
Please outline in comments what
should be handwaved.
GROUP PLOT
Unique from palace infiltrators,
they are those people who contribute
to jail story. Like Ichinose Kuon.
DEADLINES
In order to avoid player burn out as well as make sure the plot doesn't drag on for months, deadlines will be allotted. Like previous plots if something isn't covered in time a summary of the whole plot will be made after 6 days. Note you can still continue with your ongoing rp if you are interested in the themes but I WILL move on to the next piece ASAP.

> 16th feb - 18th feb: NETWORK akane kidnap post
> 19th feb - 25th feb: first infiltration. drama ensues. 1A gets trapped. 1B gets away. akane manages to steal canary and dove's (team 1C) heart
> 26th-27th feb : possible gap for chill talk and catching up + drama. may possibly put up starter for 2nd infiltration on 27th itself
> 27/28th feb- 5th march: 2nd day. imprisoned team (team 1A) rescued. zenkichi awakening
> 6th march - 15th march: discussion + jail infiltration. <- i would like to discuss this with peeps
> 15th march-17th march : trauma cell boss fight
> 17th march - 24th march: akane boss fight (phase 1 and 2)

IICly things will happen and I WILL update map sections that players are free to pick up and explore with. OOCly I will provide starters and NUMEROUS ones for the jail infiltration section and OOCly things will be communicated through the google doc + the post or thread top level itself. Like the Digigoro and Gorobo section, tags will have to resolved through the "reserve" basis from earlier.

TO BE UPDATED: More infos on maps and character designs.

Does EMMA gain access to the copy of Future Kaitou's letter, or did Akane manage to keep it away where EMMA can't get to it? Assuming this is some kind of possession/mind control over Akane.

Well the letter might be needed for whenever Kaitou's own palace/TV World dungeon happens, so it might be better if EMMA left it alone so Akane can use it later.

Or EMMA could post it on the network just for the fuck of it. IDK.
vampirethief: (joker - pained)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Future Kaitou gave Akane a text copy of the letter, while Future Kaitou left his past self the original. Sorry if I wasn't clear before.

Well that's up to you. Whenever Akane or EMMA does so if you go that route. Kaitou would not be happy either way.
vampirethief: (joker - thinking)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries, I know it's been a while.

Hmmm, that could potential work as Kaitou hasn't talked with anyone about the letter (since he spent January alone and grumpy). He would uneasy at the idea of others looking at something that personal, and he doesn't have his future self's memories so he would be shocked that she has a copy.
vampirethief: (joker - wtf)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same here. It was pretty stressful for me, even though I was lucky not to deal with ICE directly. At least it seems like ICE is slowly leaving my state so far. Thank gods.

Sounds perfect to me.
vampirethief: (joker - hunting time)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck ICE indeed.

Oh and I just remembered that Kaitou is a Wild Card, so for the sake of balance, maybe it might be best that he only has access to Satanael while under EMMA's control. Satanael is already OP as it is. Or if it's not an issue, I can try my best to make things fair.
vampirethief: (joker - hunting time)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's definitely fair. Kaitou uses Satanael most of the time anyway, since it's his main persona, plus the strongest. He only really switches for either healing or hitting weaknesses.
vampirethief: (joker - warm smile)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-12 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No worries, I know you can't always account for everyone.

This is the code I use BTW, which I put into Stylus. Which is a seperate thing from Dreamwidth, so it's custom code.

Oh yeah it looks a lot better, thank you. <3
vampirethief: (dangerously hungry mode)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I could throw Kaitou at this, and maybe if the last slot hasn't been taken already, have his desire taken and made a brainwashed minion. Especially if during the fight, he gets pushed into dangerously hungry mode. Which is when a vampire goes berserk after going too long without blood, and that would require someone to give him some of their blood to snap him out of it.

IDK about Shiho. She could help, but I dunno if I should have both of my characters involved.
vampirethief: (thinking)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh nice. >=3 I'm all for making Kaitou's guilt worse when he does get back to normal. Especially if he hurts/temporarily kills people while under EMMA's control.

Hmm... that is a good question. I could see Satanael resisting, at least a little. Given that he is Kaitou's ultimate persona and the one that Kaitou used to kill Yaldabaoth. But maybe not enough to snap Kaitou out of it due to the lack of desire.
vampirethief: (joker - smirk)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I could see him being forced to stick to that rule but as soon as it's outside the no fighting zone, it's fighting time.

Yep, and it's good build-up for Kaitou's own thing later (still haven't decided if it's gonna be a palace or TV World dungeon. I have ideas for both, but I know I'll have to choose sooner or later.).

Hoo boy. If Satanael gets berserk, then yeah there would be no stopping the brainwashing/mind control. Plus given how super OP Satanael is in the actual game, the others are gonna have a real time with him.

Yes all the toxic encouraging of Kaitou giving in to his monsterous nature. And given Kaitou's issues with his vampire nature, that will make it even worse for him. I love it.

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
And I love making my own muses suffer too. <3
vampirethief: (trying to fight brain fog)

[personal profile] vampirethief 2026-02-07 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I can throw her in the second one if she's needed, though that could be a problem if she's in a situation where she has to fight brainwashed!Kaitou given they are both mine. At least she's not busy with Midnight's Palace since it's on lock-down.

If not, she can remain to the default route.
