❧ Just Breathe

[luministimods]

[For days, the zombie invasion of the Luministi town and spacestation has gone on, but through various means, there have been less and less zombies appearing by the day. And now, only a few remain, stubbornly shambling after their prey--

--or rather they were. With a bright, blinding flash of light, their bodies instantly change. No longer are they dead and decaying, but are that of full-fledged living beings with absolutely no desire for brains or flesh of the living. In fact, while they take a moment to blink and look around to see where they are, these townspeople merely shrug and continue on with their business like they did months ago. For them, it's back to their normal routine, and if asked, they won't even remember being a zombie. No one does. Even those who were killed during the fighting are back, right as rain.

But something else has changed.

Something big, yet the sound was so soft and heard by none. A door has been opened...

And from the surprise left in the town square, it seems other metaphorical doors have been opened as well, a fact that the sender of a text message to all of the CATs, is very well aware of:]

Enjoy this respite from chaos while you can.

[The moment that text is sent, anyone still injured will be blinded once again--but will find all wounds have been healed.]


Plot Details: Just Breathe

Welcome to Luministi's 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!) Unlike past events, the town is not only fully populated with people who will just talk about mundane things about Luministi, but the pathway to the spacestation via the Mayor's House has been opened. How long that will remain open is anyone's guess, but for now, take advantage of it!

Also, visitors have a choice of physically appearing in the town square or communicating from their own world via the CAT.

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 they will be able to remember visiting the town (or viewing it in a video feed), as well as everyone they met, the moment they show up in the town of Luministi for real. Yeah for ready-made CR, right?

And for current players, consider this a plot break! I'll have the game's next proper plot update for you guys tomorrow, so enjoy the breather while you can!

This event is the last one the game will hold, unfortunately, as Luminsti is in its 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?

Apps for luministi formally close July 28th, 11:59pm EST. I look forward to seeing everyone here! ♥

Now, let the fourth-walling commence! Have lots of fun~

[alwaysanarcher]

Oh god, seriously? [She's not pleased at all by the news, but she'll try to plaster on a smile.] I'd almost forgotten about that crazy place...

You guys doing okay so far? I've been back home this entire time.

[alwaysanarcher]

Yeah, I've been home ever since they teleported us back... [Though she does look worried. If she got to stay while the others got to leave, what did that mean?

At the mention of Conner, Cissie can't help looking amused.] Unfortunately. He's kind of a doofus, but Kon--Conner is---

[Then it hits her.]

... Don't tell me. He's over there, isn't he?

[moveslikestrider]

I always get parts mixed up. Yeah, that's the one.

[reminded]

[A smile.]

It's not a problem, my dear. Do you live here with your family?

[reminded]

Sabotage? For what reason? That's a very serious charge of vandalism.

[reminded]

[Remember to wash your face later, Luke.]

Luckily, I know where we can find one. But first, there's a puzzle on my mind that begs to be shared. Would you like to hear it?

/hops

[manicurious]

[This pleases Ichijou, even though this fellow seems to have noclipped into a wall.

Ichijou doesn't even know what noclip is. But he doesn't care. What really matters is...]

That style of armor looks so much better in purple!

[reminded]

No, I didn't. The transition was rather abrupt. Who should I have been expecting to see?

[wind_of_reason]

It is all quite serious....
The reason? To kill us is one theory. Our lives have been threatened quite a bit this time. But I can't imagine that's the true end whomever is behind this is after.

[wind_of_reason]

Yes, somehow we're still okay, although it's been a bit intense right from the start.

I'm glad to hear that you've escaped being stuck back here! [Although- she blinks curiously at the poster on her wall. There is someone who looks kinda like that with them... Strange.]

[alwaysanarcher]

If I could help you guys, you know I would in a heartbeat.

Does that teleportation machine still work? Or is it even in the same place it used to be? [she sighs] God, I feel really out of the loop.

/amused

[docinawall]

Huh? [Doc turns at the voice, not sure what to make of that comment] Uh...are you a friend of Donut?

[docinawall]

It isn't? [Doc's disappointment is clear] Damn. Where are we?

Oh, yeah, thanks? But I don't think that's going to work. Wash and the Meta have been trying to get me out for a while, but even the Warthog's tow rope didn't work, so they're just dragging me around now. [perhaps surprisingly, he sounds unbothered by this] It's not so bad! If I weren't in the wall, I'd have to walk in the desert. Yuck.

[manicurious]

I have no idea who that is, but I enjoy their namesake.

[Welp, then this is some quality me time Action]

[moveslikestrider]

And by the time the acid is up to your knees, it is too late.

[What it's about is getting a closer look at one side of the road.]

Kanaya and Vriska are here besides Terezi. We'll see if anyone else showed up too.

[action]

[moveslikestrider]

[His hand falls to rest on her head after she knocks it against his leg.] I'm fine. Nothing amiss with this dude.

[moveslikestrider]

Right, busy with what? Wizard porn or staring at a messy sleeper? [Dave folds his arms over the red gear shirt on his person and quirks an eyebrow.]

[unbending_spirit]

[Alicia moves across to take the seat] Oh, I'm Alicia Melchiott. Nice to meet you. [she nervously clasps and unclasps her hands in her lap] Well, this is probably going to sound stupid, but...do you know how I got here? [quickly] I mean, I was unconscious for the journey! So I...really don't know... [she trails off, not really sure what else to say. her mind is blown by being here at all] And...what town is this?

[magicisreal]

Neither, if you must know. [Rose regards him with a fixed stony face.] In fact I'm not entirely sure you should know. Which iteration of Dave do you happen to be, exactly?

[fortune_sought]

[she's still shaken, but she says, as firmly as she can manage:] Then you must find something to distract yourself from them. [thoughtfully] Would you like to come to my townhome? Perhaps we could have tea?

[moveslikestrider]

To make it simple for you, godtier and fourteen. I'm the mainline Dave, not an off-shoot. [He flips his shades up so she can see his eyes aren't dead white. Then pulls them back down.]

So?

[wind_of_reason]

That's a perfectly reasonable question, Miss Melchiott.
How you got here, none of us really know. Some sort of teleportation device, but it's complicated and mysterious beyond that!
And you're now in the town of Luministi. Of which almost equally as little is known, except for it being on a spaceship far from just about everywhere and some other small details.

[action]

[moveslikestrider]

[Does not.]

Ok, you're pretty deep into the past compared to my future business. Don't worry about it though, you'll catch up.

[magicisreal]

I was adding to our compendium of knowledge about the complete and intractable mess we've managed to create for ourselves.

You?

[wind_of_reason]

Believe me, I'm sorry too. This is Luministi, which is actually a town on a space ship- ah, it's complicated.

I can see how being pulled about would be much better than walking in the desert! I'm glad you're making the best of the situation!
