❧ Just Breathe

[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 [community profile] 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~

I was standing with you by teen mom and about to ask you to wake her up. We got guided to a dream bubble by some spider troll who wanted to 'explain everything'.

[Sophie frowns, her expression sympathetic. in fact, she knows exactly how he's feeling] Then you'll be relieved to hear that, through a sort of magic I can't explain--or perhaps it's science. I never can tell. In any case, as long as you are in this town, time doesn't pass where you've come from. So when you leave here, things will be just as you left them. So no, worrying truly is useless.

[she nods, smiling back] And it's nice to meet you as well, Lafra. I do understand your concern. My son... [but she stops, shaking her head] Well, I suppose it's simplest to say, I'm in a hurry to return home myself.
wind_of_reason: (fuji erupted)

[personal profile] wind_of_reason 2012-07-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
More or less! It is very good at hiding - or being hidden - but we did return home through it last year. I'm certain that if the others on the station had noticed it open so easily they would have said, though.

I'm sure you'll understand when I say that this is one loop I'm glad you're out of!
fortune_sought: (Taken Aback)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-04 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, do you mean there are new arrivals? [Sophie's eyes widen] More than one!? Where are they?

[without waiting for an answer, she checks her CAT--and scowls] Oh, confound it! You're right! How can there be so many!?
censorcontrol: (what's this?)

Gmail! Give me my notifs! /stabs inbox! >|

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-04 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I can see where a town would be cozier than a space station. Both are rather... inconvenient, though.

[Another drag. He shakes his head.] No, that's quite all right. As of right now, I don't see how that would be of much use. Though I would like to know why I'm here.
fortune_sought: (Looking Up)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-04 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[relieved] Oh yes, I can imagine. You should get some rest. [and she can't help but add, with a frown:] While we've been given the opportunity for it.
fortune_sought: (Standing Ground)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-04 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[she sees that worry and says, firmly:] Then that is a relief.

[but Sophie cringes at that. she hadn't thought before asking the question, but she realises now that she's just going to worry Cissie more--and, unfortunately, it's too late not to. reluctantly, she admits:] Yes...I'm afraid so. But I'm certain we'll find another way out. [a bit awkwardly, she adds:] Are you two very close?
manicurious: (Sleepyjou)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-04 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose you're right. I've been having a nice time talking with all of these new people who've appeared all of a sudden, but a more soothing diversion might be what I really need. A warm drink might at least make me feel better physically.

Are you really alright with me visiting for a while?
manicurious: (Sleepyjou)

It can't give you notifs if it's dead! D:

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-04 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, I actually find it quite convenient, at least while everything is functioning correctly. But I know I'm in the minority with that since I'm not especially fond of where I came from.

The station has switched ownership quite a few times over the years, and different owners have randomly, forcibly brought a variety of people here for several different reasons. But I believe that the current one is doing it purely for his own entertainment.

That's the impression I have, anyway. It comes from having the exclusive privilege of receiving personally-tailored harassment from him from time to time.
censorcontrol: (pondering)

it was just a little love stab. :x

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-04 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Personally-tailored harassment? [Pause.] What, did you personally offend them somehow? Or, based on your belief, do they just find you the most entertaining?
sandy_claws: (oooooh shineeeey)

[New places. Jack likes new places. Jack really, really, reeeaaallyy likes new places. Except this one is weird.]

How peculiar.

[Really. He's usually fully aware of how he gets into strange new places, but this? Nope. Completely clueless.

Oh, look, there's a lovely little tree. ... Maybe he can get a better view of the city if he climbs it.

No big deal, just your friendly neighborhood skeleton climbing a tree, grinning like a fool who's wondering if he found something better than Christmas and Halloween combined. ... Unlikely, but hey. You never know.]

Please tell me you have an off button.

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-04 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's a very good question. I don't believe that I did anything that would bother him, aside from screaming some nasty things about him while committing a terrible act of violence, and there was also the time when I sent him a few thousand text messages that were intended for someone else...

But that was all way after he started it!
resonatingdreams: (he doth accept the terms)

[personal profile] resonatingdreams 2012-07-04 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I see. I hope everything works out for the best for you and your son.

[personal profile] chainsawspistice 2012-07-04 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's good that she has an enjoyable pastime to occupy her idle hours. She's much more agreeable when she isn't ruminating on potentially adverse and/or cataclysmic stratagems.
chainsawspistice: (> Kanaya: Check on lusus.)

[personal profile] chainsawspistice 2012-07-04 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[She follows Rose's line of sight before looking back at the girl herself.]

Why? Is there something special about it?
reminded: (En garde.)

[personal profile] reminded 2012-07-04 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
If it's true, then perhaps the residents here present some sort of obstacle to the perpetrator. Can the authorities be counted on to investigate the matter thoroughly?
reminded: (That concludes the lecture.)

[personal profile] reminded 2012-07-04 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
I do indeed, but I find puzzles of a more casual nature, shall we say... therapeutic. I would be more than happy to share one with you, if you'd like.
moveslikestrider: (and put on a show.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2012-07-04 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's something you two do together, far as I know. I've been hanging with Terezi and someone you have yet to meet yet. And yeah, seriously a good thing she no longer does the grimdark shit.
luke_triton: (handchin)

[personal profile] luke_triton 2012-07-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[YES.]

Of course I do Professor! I always want to hear your puzzles!
magicisreal: (what am i next to)

[personal profile] magicisreal 2012-07-04 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
You don't think such dubious and invisible transportation is special?

[Rose does. She digs in her bag (it was there the whole time, like her arms) and holds out a ball of yarn to Kanaya, keeping the end of the string between her fingers.]

Will you go back through alone? I'd like to see what happens if you hold this.
magicisreal: (boring me)

[personal profile] magicisreal 2012-07-04 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm. Rose frowns, trying to parse the different expansive stories out of Dave's typically succinct summary. Teen mom she can infer, it's more like teen Mom to her anyway isn't it, and dream bubble is the most recent explanation for anything amiss that is not Gamzee.

Very well then. Let's settle on the last part.]


Vriska?
reminded: (That concludes the lecture.)

[personal profile] reminded 2012-07-04 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Fantastic.

Let's say you're driving down a road on a windy, stormy night, and things only look like they're about to get worse. You come upon an isolated bus stop and see three people waiting there:

an elderly woman,
an old friend who once saved your life,
and a young lady you're absolutely smitten with.

Knowing your automobile can only fit one passenger, who do you choose?

luke_triton: (puzzle solving!)

[personal profile] luke_triton 2012-07-04 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...let's see...

I think what I would probably do...is give my keys to my friend, and tell him to take the elderly woman home. I'd stay to walk the lady home instead once it stopped raining. That's what a gentleman does!

...But you know, Professor, I don't have a driver's license.
wind_of_reason: (fuji erupted)

[personal profile] wind_of_reason 2012-07-04 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I hope that we are an obstacle! Maybe he'll get tired and send us home early!

I'm afraid that the local authorities are rather ignorant of everything that happens here. We are pretty much on our own.
[But for Nathan, but he's something of a secret. And... unreachable at the moment according to Mister Ichijou (so perhaps not so secret any longer).]
