❧ 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~

...Well, that's new.]


Oh... I'm sorry. I'm just looking for some people, that's all.

Holy... Holy Miltank... It really is you... Uh. Yeah, you do...

...This is kind of awkward. [...Hi, we met at Nibi Museum, I'm a Ranger and we're dating is not a valid way to explain things.]

Sure thing. What's up?

[She may not be nearly as dangerous as Washington, but she's no Sim Trooper either. 479 does does carry a pistol in a holster at her belt which one hand is definitely resting on while she watches Ichijou approach. Tread lightly, dude.]

Excuse me?

[Oh, is that a gun? Yeah, that's a gun. And that little detail makes him go from "kind of nervous tensing" to "uncontrollable terrified quivering."]

I thought you were asking, um, if this was some kind of, you know, some sort of joke. But the-the sssss-ame thing has been, umm, it's been happening to several of us for years, is what I'm saying.

[He doesn't look like much of a threat, and he doesn't even have armor so...this is her taking her hand off that gun and just putting both hands on her hips. Calm down, dude, she's not nearly as much of a shark-lady as the other women Wash used to work with.

And this is reminiscent of what she talked about with Wash last time she found a CAT in her office so it's probably better to question him than to shoot him.]

What kind of thing?

Isn't it!

[hello dave have a troll practically leaping right into your personal space.

technically she should be going like AHH WHY ARE YOU HERE--oh wait she's already doing that. excitedly.]


Now we can really have a party! Everyone else seems less excited about the idea, though.

[He exhales slowly and the shivering reduces in intensity but doesn't go away completely. His heart still feels like it's trying to punch his ribcage open.]

Suddenly appearing here with little to no warning or explanation. We kind of know how and why, but every time we think we've stopped it it starts up again.
terezi_pyrope: (NO)

[personal profile] terezi_pyrope 2012-07-01 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh hi there, guess who's caught a deep whiff of that smoke and coughing.]

Is whatever you're doing a common thing for humans to do? Because it's really inconvenient!

[ANOTHER DAVE.

She'll be going over to him and pinch his cheek to see if he's real or something.]

Dave, did you go back in time?

[This is something he's used to. It's a huge relief to have Terezi around, and he nods once. That cool little nod. Sup man?]

Yeah? Why are they turning down the best party they'd ever have?

[giggling here and there. sup sup!]

Maybe because they're feeling a bit too sour grapes that they didn't think up the idea first! You know how people are, hehehe~
sarcasticpelican: (Everyone out!)

[personal profile] sarcasticpelican 2012-07-01 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmmm]
You wouldn't happen to have seen a friend of mine around, have you?

Taller. Dark gray armor, yellow stripes. Slightly crazy.
[The last one is half-joking because at this point she trusts Wash enough to think he's at least mostly all there.]

[Business as usual then.]

Yeah, yeah, they jelly at our awesome vibes and slick moves. Heard you've been here a while from Kan. What exactly is going on in this place?
tutored: (What?)

[personal profile] tutored 2012-07-01 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh.]

A bit of patience and what?

[Because it's never that simple.]
manicurious: (teatime)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-01 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm? That sounds like...

[That was Washington she was referring to, right? Tall - check. Dark grey armor - check. Yellow stripes - check. But after the events of the last week or so, that last item gets a surprisingly firm indignant response.]

Agent Washington is not crazy in the slightest.

I'm about to schoolfeed you an explanation, so hold on!

[and her smile drops.]

We've been brought here against our will, which has been speculated to have been for purely entertainment reasons of our captors. The mayor who was responsible for the first one has already fled, and now the blame lies on a man named Resarci who is in cahoots with some shady man in black. It would like the classic 'you've been drugged and taken elsewhere with no way to escape', but...apparently people have escaped from here before. Which I guess is now moot since they've been brought back, three times for some. There are also these weird events that happen occasionally. The first one wasn't too bad, but then there was one with zombies, and...

[sigh.]

The townspeople you see now were once part of the undead. There was a 'resistence' among them, but I think they've been disposed of.

Apparently, one of the original goals of this "town" was to revive the dead. And that's as far as I know.
manicurious: (I ship that)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-01 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
A touch of outside help, most likely. And perhaps some luck.

We've been able to send people home before, so I don't see why we couldn't do it again. Aside from the fact that the guy who helped us accomplish that went missing...

But there are others who can do that! We just have to get a hold of them.

[The smoking man makes Ichijou do a double-take - not from the floaty self-lighting cigarette or anything like that, but rather...

He's so stylish. Almost as stylish as Ichijou himself. And that is... Very stylish.]


Well, hello there.
moveslikestrider: (Isn't it serene?)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2012-07-01 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You know how to treat a guy right.

[His smile drops at what he hears. He's all serious as he paces once and looks around.]

Like how you can revive people by tossing their remains in sprites? Damn. [Nasty business.] Welp. What can I do to help you out?

[Well, she can't say she wanted to wake up to something this crazy. Elena sighs, turning around and inspecting the town square before she starts to explore. According to this weird palm-sized device, this place's called Luministi... and she's taking a vacation here? Nuh-uh.

She would've remembered booking a vacation somewhere this weird. She's definitely not buying it. Not one bit.]
censorcontrol: (meh)

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-02 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Some of us, yes.

[He considers the coughing... and with a shrug of one shoulder, lets the cigarette drop to the ground, where he puts it out with his boot.]

So you are not human. [Pause.] What can you tell me about this place? [No, the question is not related to the statement, but far be it from him to properly separate the two~]
censorcontrol: (control)

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-02 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Stylish, eh~? Well, he tries~

He nods once to the stranger.
] Hello. [And then he takes just a fraction of a second to look him over... and comes to a few conclusions, but the most important one (in his opinion) at the moment boils down to:] You don't seem to be as... suddenly misplaced as I am. Do you know where this is?

[Woah, where'd that come from?! One minute this guy is stuttering and shaking and the next he's standing up for Wash? That's definitely interesting but she'll save asking about it for later.]
Wash is here, then?
