It's a Trap! ( 11/06 - 11/12 ) Fall is here and it's time to collect food. For some, that means laying out traps. Snares, deadfalls, bear traps, cages, pits starting appearing all over the city, so be careful where you step! But it's not only those that you have to watch out for. Blankets seem to be intent on keeping you in bed, shoes can start growing teeth, cabinet doors, the alleyway outside the house, that one squeaky floorboard in the hallway... You never know when the trap will be sprung!

We're All Mad Here ( 11/20 - 11/26 ) Suggested by bloodseal_soul Every night when you sleep, you dream, but is it a dream? You go to sleep, but you wake up somewhere... else. Somewhere else with restraints. With a hospital smell. With your powers warded or not there at all. There are doctors and nurses, and they are surprised to see you awake. Awake, they say, for the first time in quite a while... Adstringendum? No dear, we're sorry, that must be a product of your hallucinations. But what about that one time I-- Now, let's not get too excited... We wouldn't want to trigger another episodic break, now would we? More info can be found [HERE]

Hmm. If only Sebby slept.

[taijiya]

Oh fuck yes. 8DDD

So would characters asleep at the same time be in the "hospital" at the same time and be able to communicate in the dream? Or would they be in their own little cells or what? :o

...Why do I think the first event sounds vaguely cute.

[kill-joo-ded.livejournal.com]

This month, Kamui is going to be eaten by his breakfast.

Hitsugaya is going to play in the snow.

And Killua is going to laugh and post with nothing but, "Sucks, doesn't it?"

[angle_on_it]

Just out of curiosity, how are people thinking of incorporating the second event in-game?

I was thinking it would be interesting to outline what the character is seeing in their dream state, but it's not exactly something that allows for CR since people can only react and interact with the character while they're awake. Definitely, people would share what they've dreamed on the network, but it might be interesting to see what other applications people come up with.

I'd love to work toward something a little more dynamic and creative. Anyone interested in sharing thoughts/plotting?

These are rockstar events.

/can't sleep

Maan, I'm not sure where to go with Kurotsuchi for the second event. Like- waking up back in the research department, as though some long-term experiment had gone badly? Or back in the Maggots' Nest and like everything hadn't happened. Because when it comes to asylums, Soul Society kind of sucks.

Not sure what do. D:

Arienette will just be more convinced that Ads is the real-real world that no one's supposed to see, and... wait she doesn't need to sleep how will this work.

Cas is going to freak out for the second event and get totally mixed up and not know which is real in the slightest okay it will be glorious. It doesn't help that he goes insane (temporarily) in his future and he knows it, or that he's easily manipulated into believing things. He may snap a bit, though he was doing so well for awhile. 8|

And the first event will just be an exercise in angel claustrophobia especially for him because he can actually get caught in normal traps now too s-sob.

QUESTIONS~ though:

1. For the first event, can there be more exotic traps? Like for instance for angels that are NOT lame mortal people like Cas, could there be holy oil traps? And the like, for other things from other worlds should people need/want them?
2. For the second event, characters who don't/can't sleep, is there a way for them to end up sucked into their own little dreamworld/madhouses?

[dogtagcollar.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can do a single 'party log' of people who wake up at the asylum? That way, we can avoid a bunch of posts to the network that are not interactable (ie: what Sokka-mun was bringing up with the characters posting about their own experiences with the asylum). Because I want to post mine and I want to read other people's, but having that, plus the evented, in-Ads posts to the network might mean that posts would get pushed back and lost prematurely.

.... Beat is not going to appreciate it if his hat decides to start chewing on his head. :|

[holdnovirtue.livejournal.com]

It would be pretty cool if there were several people in the same Mental Home dream thing. Would make it seem all the more real and mindfucky.

Then they could try to break out of it together xD

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

Jet and Hiten. I know I'm fucking them up the second week with reaction posts.

Doctor Facilier will be in service to er'one else~

OKAY, LATE AS EVER, BUT...

[checkoutpandora.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm speaking on behalf of the angel cast, but really this applies to any character who can canonically dreamstalk on their own terms, such as Rhode, for example. As the angels don't sleep, we were toying with the idea of them invading the asylum dreams and how they could interact with that world without breaking it and I came up with the idea of having them assuming the roles of the "doctors" in the asylum- as in, losing complete sense of self once they enter the dream and becoming part of the staff and becoming "locked" in the dream, only able to travel to each dreamer, as opposed to 'waking up.'

Essentially... Well, let me break it down by showing you a scenario. Say Castiel wants to know what's haunting Rei's dreams at night, so he goes into her dream. Castiel would assume the role of a random doctor/therapist telling Rei that everything she thinks is real is fake. This will give her that much needed push to believe that OH GOD MAYBE THE ASYLUM IS REAL, because here is someone she cares about SO MUCH in a different form and the worst part? When she wakes up, Castiel won't be there, because he'll still be locked in the dream so that he can't just snap out of it at any time or wake up and apologize for being a creepy doctor. He won't be confined to just her dream, however- he'll be able to flit to other dreams, doing the same thing.

This will allow us to play PC doctors for everyone, rather than relying on just NPC's and will add a visceral degree of horror, plus it gives the muns who play godmoddy characters a punishment for trying to break the Animus's games. If this is agreed to, we'll even put a permissions and plotting post up closer to the time for the event so people can opt in or out of this plot-within-a-plot.
