❧ Off-Season 3 - Whispers Out of the Ether
[Someone has been in the Luministi Research Labs.
To the untrained eye, everything is still in its place despite the undetected intrusion. Not a paper has stirred. No chairs have been pushed out of their original positions in the slightest. Not even a single blade of grass in the town square has bent or crushed. Yet something has changed.
Perhaps it's a slightly different tang in the air. One check of the life support systems, however, will tell one that the oxygen mix is the same as ever. The strange objects and rooms from the old citizens are still there as well, so still and untouched as the rest of the things in the town generally are. Even the remnants of the old Neptune sundial outside the library and the stone sundial in the park have been left alone.
The intruder smiles, knowing it is only the beginning. If the test goes as planned, then perhaps...
As quietly as the intruder came, the intruder now leaves without a trace. There are several observations to be done.
No sooner does the intruder leave, a video begins to play on all CAT units that shows a rather beautiful montage of the town while a kind gentleman's voice speaks. Some will recognize the voice as belonging to Mayor Caligin.]
[And on that note, the video ends on a rather ominous shot of the town hall, and unintelligible voices begin to whisper to fill the void the video broadcast has left...]

- Hello and good morning! It gives me great pleasure to be able to greet you and welcome you to the Town of Luministi. My name is Constantine Caligin, Mayor of Luministi. I am sorry I am unable to greet you in person, but there is always something to be done here in town hall! Surely you understand.
While I have a minute though, let me give you the highlights of our great and beautiful town.
Here in Luministi, we strive to maintain the integrity of our quiet small town life while slowly bringing in new blood and new technologies. One look at our fine, eclectic town square and you will see how well we are progressing! There are many new and exciting places in town for you to explore, like our fabulous restaurants, recently renovated cinema, and our famous library. We welcome any feedback about them, from convenience to pure aestheticism. Our latest additions are identical housing developments situated in the west and east of Luministi's town borders and we hope you enjoy the accommodations! They have been built with the ideas of comfort and ease in mind.
Unfortunately, that--[there is a slight disturbance in the audio, as if the original has been altered]--will be all for today. This has just been merely a test. Soon, you will see what joys your stay in Luministi will bring you. And it will bring you plenty of joy and happiness. So much so, you will never want to leave.
Not ever again.

Plot Details: Off-Season 3
- Welcome to Luministi's pre-season Fourth Wall event! If you have never participated in 4th wall with us before, the portion above the cut there is an IC continuation of the story that has been in the making for the past two seasons (a summary of which can be read here if you are curious, but it's not required reading!) But unlike past events, the majority of our in-game characters are off on different journeys or are even back home in their worlds! The town itself has been pretty empty for a while, so the video that was mysteriously broadcast just then will be everyone's view of the town.
Now, for those of you new to the game, the CATs, or Communications Audiovisual Transmitters, are personalized communication devices about the size of your palm, and for this day only, visiting characters will have this device. They'll have found it randomly on their person with no idea how it even got there. From a video broadcast standpoint, you'll be able to see the the immediate surroundings of the person you're talking to. More information about the CATs can be found on the FAQ page, which also has some handy tips about how the game is run and other questions about the game that aren't answered elsewhere in the mod journal. But if you don't see your question answered anywhere, please don't be afraid to ask!
In-game time, this event lasts a day, but you can tag for however long you want!
If visiting players do app into the game when applications and reserves open on April 14th, 12:01am EST, they will be able to remember the video of the town and everyone they meet the moment they show up in the town of Luministi for real. Yeah for ready-made CR, right?
And for returning players and those still in play in off-season shenanigans, here's the link to the most recent batch of updates, especially regarding things I'll need from you guys. I think I have just about everyone, but it's here again for your convenience! And character-wise, it's up to you what your character was up to when that somewhat familiar broadcast came over the CATs. Just when you thought you were safe from the town again, huh? Alas...
This event is merely a preview of what is to come in Luministi's third and final season. All of the storylines and mysteries introduced back in June 2010 when the game first opened will be brought to a close, and how it all does will be up to everyone involved. There are choices to be made and tasks that need to be accomplished--but only if you do it. Not doing something also will result in something, but whether it's for better or worse, well... You'll just have to come along for the ride and see, won't you?
luministi formally opens May 19th, 11:59am EST. I look forward to seeing everyone here! ♥Now, let the fourth-walling commence! Have lots of fun~

Yes and no. I'm not in the town, but I'm in the TARDIS with the Doctor and Jamie.
no subject
[surprised] The Doctor's ship? But how is it there?
no subject
I dunno. Nathaniel brought her here, somehow.
no subject
He did? [she's not sure what to make of that, actually. the idea of anything more getting dragged into that universe sounds dangerous more than it sounds helpful] Well, as long as you're all right.
[there's a soft mew from behind her, and Sophie turns. her movement reveals a tiny kitten, old enough to have his eyes open but hardly more than that. Sophie licks him and adjusts her position to wrap around him]
1/2
[She's about to tell Sophie that she's okay, and that fans are really crazy, and then.
And then.]
2/2
[BABBY KITTY. OMG. BABBY KITTY. SHE'S NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE. SO TINY...! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG]
no subject
[she's busy cleaning Morgan for a moment, but she looks up at Xion's cry. and if anything, she looks rather proud of herself] Xion, this is my son, Morgan.
no subject
He's so cute! How old is he? Why did he get turned into a kitty, too? Can he talk yet? Morgan's a nice name!
[yep. yep. totally distracted]
no subject
[not that Morgan seems particularly bothered about being a kitten. he's blinking up at the image of Xion curiously. and as his mother moves her head back, he starts to climb over her, meaning to paw at the hologram]
1/2
So cute!
2/2
I -- ah -- um --
Wh-Why was the spell put on you? Who did this?
no subject
[Sophie lets him do this, watching from where she's lying. but she ducks her head at that question, looking uncomfortable] Howl did. A djinn came to steal the castle, and he wanted to be sure it didn't see me.
no subject
Oh. Okay.
[Well, that's better than someone turning her into a cat to be mean. Her next thought is to ask why Howl doesn't just remove it, but... the fact that he hasn't... doesn't bode well. :C]
How long ago...? [and what's a "jin."]
no subject
[but Sophie can't keep the worry from her tone] About two weeks ago, I think. I'm on my way to Kingsbury. Ben--Wizard Suliman--is there, and I'm certain he'll be able to break the spell.
no subject
O-Okay. If you think he can, then I'm sure he definitely can...
[She's worried, too. :C be safe mamasophie please Xion can't do anything to help you where you are]
no subject
The trouble is getting there. [she pauses thoughtfully] And I may have found a solution to that problem, but to be honest, I'm not sure it's entirely a good idea.
no subject
What is it?
no subject
no subject
But, you're a mama kitty with a baby kitty. Why would they not be happy?
no subject
[and Sophie already just about clawed the soldier's eye out. oops]
no subject
I'm still not sure I get it, but... I'm sure you know better'n me.
no subject
You might have a point, though, Xion. I suppose it could be worth a try, at least.
