❧ 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~

I Thought About That Yes
I Have Reason To Believe It Is The Case Here But I Also Have Reason To Believe It Isnt
That Is To Say I Dont Know
But When Do We Ever Actually Know Whether Or Not Our Timeline Is Doomed Until Only One Player Remains Or The Session Is Otherwise Incapacitated
And When You Think About It The Probability Of A Doomed Existence Is Significantly Higher Than The Alternative
But Still We Must Carry On As If Alpha Is The Only Possibility
There Is No Other Option Really

Re: Backtags are lovely!

[champions_legend]

I think I see... [Not really, but she nods anyway. Leaf can go and look it up later, i she remembers to that is. Chances are this will slip her mind, mostly.]

Kasahara Fumiko. It's a pleasure to met you, Hatter-san. [A small, friendly bow.] So...t-they people here... aren't real?

[champions_legend]

London? Where's that, Layton-san? I-IS that in umm... the Ranger Union? [Well it makes sense to her, It sounds Ranger-like.] O-Or are you from Unova? I know they have lots of funny sounding names.

Really? [You mean there's people older than her who live with mum and dad still???]

[champions_legend]

Yea... I think so.. Umm.. [Give her a moment or, well, three.] Oh. Arakagi-kun?

[BLINK BLINK.] umm... But.. w-weren't you like... 11?

[...her brain, she does not compute.]

[bonnypiperlad]

Right, let's go, then.

[He immediately takes off in that direction, although he does slow down after a few seconds so they can walk and talk at the same time.]

I wonder if anything's even left there, though. We'd not really come back here after we left to go try and track Resarci down.

[fortune_sought]

And it's nice to meet you, Miss...Kasahara? [she isn't actually sure which name was her last name]

[she shakes her head] Not in the sense that we are, no. I'm fairly certain of that, at least. If you speak to them, they...aren't quite right. You'll see when you do, now that they're back to themselves again. [she purses her lips] If you've only been here a month, I'm sorry so much of your stay was during that dreadful mess. But at least those creatures are gone.

[not that more terrible things aren't surely coming, but she's glad that the new people are the biggest problem they seem to have at the moment. things are more peaceful, at least]

[resonatingdreams]

It's certainly nice to know. Thank you. [He'll enter, then.]

[desertdaggers]

[That suits Hawk fine, as he's not quite up for going at full speed at the moment. He shrugs.]

There might be… a lot of the stuff I'd had before was in the house when I arrived again. If there isn't anything, we'll try the shops.

[fortune_sought]

[she follows him inside] Are there witches and wizards in your world, then?

[resonatingdreams]

[So is the type of place where you wait to be seated, or where you find your own seats?]

Usually they call themselves 'magicians' or 'mages', actually.

[bonnypiperlad]

Really? Someone else said that too. [Although he can't recall at the moment if it was Sophie or Fuu. Possibly both of them.]

I wonder why that is. Something about the town that wants to make ye feel like nothing's changed, perhaps?

[desertdaggers]

Could be. "Whenever you come back, you always know what you'll find". [he frowns] Because, of course, home couldn't possibly be better!

[fortune_sought]

[find your own! sorry. I think they seat themselves and then a waiter will come to take their order, so...let's assume that?]

I see. I don't believe I've heard the term "mages," but our wizards also call themselves magicians.

[resonatingdreams]

[Assuming that works then ^^]

I suppose it's just a difference in terms.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is, of course, ever-curious] Do you mind my asking what their jobs are like?

[resonatingdreams]

Most magicians are employed by their home country's military, sadly.

[fortune_sought]

Sadly?

The king of Ingary has two Royal Magicians as well--one of them is my husband. But most magicians are free to go about their business on their own terms.

[ooc: and at some point here, shall we just assume they ordered some tea and scones?]

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie nods, although his mouth's pulled off to one side in faint disgust. Not at Hawk, but at whoever keeps bringing people back to this place. He stops at the the entrance to his townhouse, eying the bicycle that he'd left there when he went to join the Doctor in the TARDIS. He doesn't look particularly happy to see that there either. Seems like Hawk's right.]

Oh, aye. Of course it wouldn't. At least not according to whoever's in charge of this place.

[Still, he waves Hawk on inside, going over to an endtable which seems to have become home to a whole bunch of odds and ends.] Come on in. This shouldn't take long. Let's see...no, that's not it. No...no.
Ah. Here we are!

[Triumphantly, he holds up a small notepad and a pencil that were in the drawer.]

Think this'll do?

[desertdaggers]

Yeah, that'll do fine. …well, maybe you should get another pencil just in case.

Where do you want to go first?

[bonnypiperlad]

[He obligingly grabs a second pencil, although he places it in his sporran for now. It'll be easy enough to grab it from there later on.]

Aye, well...why don't we start with the Chrysalis and work our way around? I could have sworn I saw a house over there that wasn't there before.

[desertdaggers]

[Hawk eyes Jamie's sporran, eyebrows lifted, but doesn't comment. It looks handy, at least.]

Sounds good! Let's go.

[and we're assuming they get around to everywhere else from here, right?]

[resonatingdreams]

There is a lot of war, where I come from. Admittedly, I've met few magicians, but what they have to go through... I would not wish that on anyone.

The children, too... My brethren and I try to protect them from it, but even we can't save them all.

[ooc: Sounds good :)]

[bonnypiperlad]

[It's a very useful object to carry small things in, definitely.]

Right. Come on, then.

(OOC: And that sounds just about right to me, yup.)

[fortune_sought]

[she frowns, worriedly curious--although she hopes she doesn't regret learning the answer] What do you mean? What are they made to do?
