[ooc: directions]

1. Comment on this post ICly to officially register your character for the mission. It can be like "I accept this mission!". You can still comment with your character even if your character is going to join in a group later on. If necessary, we will keep a list of groups for reference use.
2. Even if it's stated ICly, leave an OOC note on which area/clue your character will tackle and an estimation of when we should drop the clue via the somghostnpc account. Otherwise, we will keep an eye out on all the logs and just drop it at random. So long as your group is within the general location vicinity, we will be able to drop the clue.
   
   So for example your character could have a tag that looks like this:
   
   "We're going for clue #1!
   
   [ooc: we're going to thread a little, but we'll edit the main post or comment back here to let you know when you can drop the clue o/]"
   
3. Once we see that you're ready, we will tag that thread with the somghostnpc journal with the contents as well as a link to a new entry that will have the full entry. This information will be publicly posted along with any related unlocked information. We will also update this post to include the clue information.
4. If there are not enough separate groups or teams, you are free to sign up for another clue if it has not been taken and you have already received your first one. So if you already have clue #1 and clue #5 has yet to be claimed for, you can comment back to this post saying you'd like to do it.
5. This mission post is also an open line, so characters can freely communicate with one another.

Basically, just comment on this post saying which clue you want and just let us know when we can drop the clue XD

Also, please ignore mod fail when this was first accidentally posted.

[ooc: faq]

1. What's displayed ICly on the Dreamberry?
   Everything above the dotted line is displayed as is like a text message.
2. Are the clue hint locations included?
   Yep, they are! And they're still vague :D
3. 5 clues for each person/group or 5 total?
   For simplicity's sake, 5 total. So it's cumulative, not individual.
4. OMGOMGOMG ALL THE CLUES ARE TAKEN ;O;
   Don't panic! Just ask if you can join a group :O Everyone will still learn of the information no matter who finds it.
5. I need a group...
   Since this is acting as a kind of OOC post anyway, if you need to OOCly plot/plan groups, feel free to use this post or make a new one in the somarium_ooc community. It might be easier through here, though. Just be sure to comment OOCly and ask player permission first before throwing your character into a group.
6. I don't really wanna do the mission, but can I still investigate things?
   Of course! As said in the original event details post, you are very much free to just explore and roam around. There's still stuff you can find that's not related to the murder o/

If there are any other questions, this will be updates. We know this is new and can be confusing, so we appreciate any questions and/or feedback throughout this to that future mission posts will be easier for everyone!
