Well, it's always time to roleplay – but what better way to jump into the fun with your character than through a roleplay prompt?

Welcome to another Weekly Prompt! Whether you're itching for something to do, are seeking creative inspiration, want something to get you started before you continue to write or are simply in the mood for some fun, the weekly prompt is there for you to enjoy as you need it – even if your character doesn't always love the things we have in store for them >:D

If you've not done this before, here are the basics:

1. Every week, a new roleplay prompt is posted on the Event Board for you to participate in with your character.
2. The prompt will generally be a situation which you can interpret based on what would be realistic for your character and, from there, explore to your heart’s content.
3. For your response to be counted, you'll need to have your character interact with the prompt in some way. You devise the specifics.
4. Your response can be set in the past or the present; just make sure to mention when it's set for wallposts, or follow the RPG participation requirements for threads (Roleplaying Guide).
5. If you write a wallpost, you can choose for your prompt response to be non-canon for your character, so long as you state that somewhere in the post.
6. For help/questions relating to the prompt, please contact Kaishi Yul-Khaan. For help/questions relating to roleplay, please contact a Guard.
7. You can find this week's prompt at the bottom of this post!

To successfully complete the prompt, you can:

• incorporate it into your character's backstory
• write it into an individual roleplay post
• post a self-contained written piece on your wall
• write a roleplay piece for your eyes only*
• write it into a task, where fitting and in line with the task’s requirements
• create a new roleplay thread which incorporates the concept, noting that:
  • depending on the prompt, every participant does not need to personally experience the situation if you create a roleplay thread, so long as they interact with it (for example, Person A receives an ominous letter, and Person B reacts to it).
  • the prompt response will only be counted once it has been directly addressed in roleplay posts.
• use another method, if one comes to mind (just double check with Kaishi if in doubt)

or simply follow whichever approach makes you want to write the most! The central imperative thing is that the prompt is included in roleplay with your character in some way. From there, you can get as creative as you like.

A New Home for the Weekly Prompt!

Reporting Your Completed Prompts

1. You will now be able to find new posts for the Weekly RP Prompt on the WoGV Blog instead of the Event Board!
   • We're sharing the prompts on our social media accounts as well (as you can see in this post right here), so this means the prompts can be viewed by users who are yet to join WoGV too ;D
   • Previous Weekly RP Prompts will remain on the Event Board, but you're still welcome to continue creating your responses for any of them whenever you're in the mood!
2. On that note: we'll now begin sharing previous weeks' prompts in each new post, so you can see them and get inspired all in the one spot! Keep an eye out for that in the next subsection.
3. Previously, we asked you to share your completed prompts by sending a letter. To make them easier to track, for others to view, and more accessible to people viewing the posts on the blog, we're updating this method!
4. Going forward, once you've completed a weekly prompt, go to the comments of the post to share your success and where you've posted your response!
   • You can still get in contact with Kai via letters if you'd like to ask any questions, discuss your prompt format, or share a private prompt response.

As above, once you've completed the prompt, comment on this post to share that you've done so and let us know where the fulfilled prompt can be found! (If it's a piece you don't want to publish yet, you can send it to Kai privately and that will also count!)
  You can complete previous prompts at any time, even from past in-game years (find their posts on the Event Board), and comment on their posts to ensure they count. If you've already sent a letter to record your prompt response, though, you don't need to comment to do it again!

You can also complete the prompt more than once, with as many of your characters as you like – whoever you're inspired for!
