OKAY. SO. AS OF MIDNIGHT, ISIS IS GONE FROM THE CITY, AND THE BATTLE IS OVER. You may still continue tagging it as long as you like to resolve threads, but I suggest you work out OOCly what happened so that you at least know. And if you could all tell me in this post what basically happened I'd appreciate it :D
HOWEVER...
Isis, in retaliation, is going to try to destroy your city. First, an explanation, if you care
Nautilus hangs beneath the City of (broken) Glass, which is the city closest to Light and to Orderlol I should stop jacking Roger Zelazny by long "chains", suspended above Chaos (which is, as has been mentioned in previous threads, the sum total of everything that could possibly be ever). The Heart of Nautilus acts as a channel to Chaos, bringing up raw possibilities into the city, which people can then shape (hence, bending). This is also what causes city shifts and reality storms.
Isis is going to cut these chains, causing Nautilus to drop into Chaos. It'll sink slowly, like it's been dropped into water, but as it sinks things are going to get more and more chaotic.
So what does this mean for you guys? Over the course of the rest of this week, a reality storm of horrific proportions is going to hit this city, which will cause a few of the bigger storms from the past to repeat themselves. These things will start out small, but get much worse as time goes on.
AS SUCH, I am having a sign-up for each day. You will note that each day only has X number of slots, which is to ensure that we do not have a single massive clusterfuck of like, the entire comm being affected at once.
Any or all of the following can happen to your characters, at your discretion. They can happen any time you like after your sign-up day. You'll note that these range from silly to deadly, deadly serious.
- Musical! Your character is compelled to break out into show-stopping tunes, just like in a musical. Characters nearby get dragged into the effect.
- Nightmares! Your character is plagued by nightmare beasts. To quote the original Nightmare event:
"Nightmares are black, twisted, physical manifestations of characters worst fears, darkest secrets, greatest failings, and deepest terrors. [...] Nightmares of individual people CAN be seen by other characters; they CAN interact with other characters; however the only character that can DEFEAT a given Nightmare is the one who spawned it. Nightmares are defeated by a given person turning and facing the Nightmare without fear - in a way, by them overcoming their own inner fear to defeat the outer fear. Note that physical fighting isn't always the best way to defeat a Nightmare – in Nautilus, ideas often have more power than actions."
- Guardian Characters! For more information about what this is, See here
- Species shift! Your character changes species. This can be from Cybertronian to human or human to animal or whatever the hell you want, really. Become one of Solaris' race for all I care (ask me first for more info about them)
IN ADDITION. If you have any SPECIFIC requests / ideas, ask for them; note that I'm not taking requests for things that can happen to EVERYONE, but if it's just one person / a couple of people who have already worked it out in advance, anything goes.
ON SATURDAY (PROBABLY), THERE WILL BE A NEW REALITY SHIFT, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN ON THAT DAY.
As always, these events are optional.
SO WAIT RYUU THE CITY IS FALLING INTO CHAOS WHAT THE FUCK HOW DO WE FIX THIS D: D: D:
There are TWENTY FOUR chains - one for each tower along the outer wall (and for each hour of the average Earth day). This is broken down into FOUR Major Chains - one for each Gate - and TWENTY Minor Chains. It takes FOUR people to restore a Major Chain, and TWO to restore a Minor Chain.
ANY ASHURA CAN TELL YOU THIS, AND ASHURA CAN HELP. FOUR FOR MAJORS AND TWO FOR MINORS IS STILL THE NUMBER YOU NEED, EVEN WITH AN ASHURA. This can be easily handwaved, just figure out teams and have one of the Ashura - Solaris' hopefully *STARES AT JOLTA AND ALBA AND RYUNE* - tell you guys what to do.
Restoring a chain is simple - focus on it and will it to be fixed, and it will be. Once all the chains are restored, a group of people - preferably a lot! - just needs to will the city back up to its old position.
SOME FINAL NOTES.
- You can now Bend again, so feel free to restore stuff. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT BENDING IS ACTUALLY MUCH EASIER. Too easy, in fact - you guys are much more likely to accidentally use too much power and overload stuff or get weird effects thanks to the chaosmatter flowing into the city. Play with this, have weird stuff happen.
- Characters who were turned to glass can be restored either at the player's discretion by RANDOM CHAOSMATTER INTERACTIONS, or by people willing them back to normal. Characters who were dead but not PERMADEAD can also come back now.
- Characters who were BRAINWASHED. If you still want to be brainwashed, you still will be; if you're done with that, then Isis' influence leaves you. There will be a post about this soon.
Sign up threads are below thx.
