❧ 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~

Alternian, to be exact!

[she doesn't see the point in making the distinction, in the very least between the two.]

It's a space station, using the town "Luministi" as a cover! The townspeople you see here aren't actually alive, and there's more than a handful of us who have been brought here by a man named Resarci and his accomplices. It's also very hard to escape from.

I'm not even sure. I've tried my best to figure out as much as I can, but...none of what I have found has led me closer to capturing them, and then punishing them for their crimes.

[she clinches her hands tightly.]

I know it's not true, but it feels like there's nothing that anyone can really do. It's tiring.

...Right now, anything you can find out would be helpful.

Aren't actually alive? [... Interesting.]

So you are trying to leave this place. Good, that's what I need to do as well. It may be very hard, but I highly doubt it's impossible.

[Oh, wow, there goes Jamie! It's nice to see him in person.]

Please don't run with sharp things, Mister Jamie! It's dangerous!

[In it's own way, the townspeople coming back like nothing had happened was almost more freaky than the whole zombie episode.

She's not sure who sent this text, but she intends to enjoy as asked with a cup of tea at the restaffed shop. ...But then, this is Luministi and nothing is ever simple. Soon enough she's seeing unfamiliar faces and getting odd CAT messages...

She hopes to herself that not all of them are going to be trapped here! For all that the extra help would be appreciated, she wouldn't wish being trapped here on anyone!]

[Sophie stares back, eyes wide for a moment before she breaks out in a smile] Cissie! Yes, it is! Is it really you?

[Fuu smiles in relief at being approached so politely. (Most of the others seem intent on exploring on their own, or seem a bit hard to approach...)
She stands and bows politely, gesturing to the seat across the small table laden with tea and things.]


Certainly. Would you like to join me?

Re: [action]

[personal profile] wind_of_reason 2012-07-02 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[From her table just outside the tea shop, Fuu is watching all the new people wander by, and wondering what on earth is going to happen next with all of them here.

Then a very pretty, very large dog appears.
That's different. She hasn't yet noticed any animals or pets like this.

She blinks and takes a sip of tea, curiously watching the dog over the rim of the cup.]

[Like a protective little puppy, yes, though the shivering never actually stopped. He's still definitely afraid but he won't take someone talking shit about Wash without some protest.]

Ah, well, yes. I, um, I honestly wouldn't have approached you at all if I hadn't guessed that you knew each other.
fortune_sought: (Looking Sideways)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-02 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Sophie is rather startled by that reaction] Mr Ichijou! Why, of course you are. [she frowns, concerned] Were you injured by those creatures? [not that she knows what that would mean, of course...]
fortune_sought: (Surprised 2)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-02 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Leaf is a new face for Sophie! though she does think she's seen her on the CAT before. she also hasn't caught sight of the new influx of people just yet]

Do you mean the townspeople? They've always been in the town when we've been here before, so it's much more normal for them to be here. And not to be those awful creatures! [she shudders]
fortune_sought: (Positive)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-02 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Very! Thought I suppose that's to be expected in this town. [she scowls]

Are you all right, Mr Hawk?
manicurious: (business time)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-02 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I was about a year ago, so at least I know the feeling.

This is Luministi, a somewhat obscure space station. I believe that the "town" you're seeing now was originally meant to be a façade, but most of us have seen through it by now. And personally, I think it makes the whole station feel a bit cozier than it would have otherwise.

If you want to know exactly where in space this is, I'll have to go look it up - I never gave that data much more than a little glance.
fortune_sought: (Standing Ground)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Sophie is surprised by the new face--and sympathetic]

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid they're not here. Have you just arrived?

[Well in her opinion he's a freelancer, not a china cup. She's seen him and the rest of the team pull stunts that most sane humans wouldn't even consider. He can probably handle a couple of harsh words- even after the craziness that was Epsilon.]

How did you figure that?
[Where she's from people in armor like hers are all over the place. You're going to have to explain this one.]
fortune_sought: (Surprised)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-02 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[as Sophie dares to exit the Malt Shop, she hears that cry--and is rather shocked at the sight of Jamie physically running through town] Jamie! Jamie, I'm here!
unbending_spirit: (Intent)

[personal profile] unbending_spirit 2012-07-02 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[when Alicia finds herself suddenly in a strange Town Square, she isn't sure where to go. so she steps into an unassuming shop, hoping to find someone who can explain...well, anything about this, really. seeing Fuu, she steps up to her a bit nervously] Excuse me? Do you think I could ask you a few things about this town?
manicurious: (Faceless)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-02 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hauh?

Well I've never seen anyone else with armor like that...
fortune_sought: (What?)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-07-02 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[after leaving the Malt Shop, Sophie is surprised to come across a person in armour] Oh! Goodness, have you just arrived as well? [she frowns; she doesn't like this sudden influx of people at all] Welcome to Luministi, I suppose.
manicurious: (GROSS SOBBING)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-02 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I was! I had been deceiving them without any problems, but then something startled me and I tripped...

[He wipes his tears with his sleeve, but they get replaced quite quickly.]

They tried to eat me! They...

[It was apparently pretty traumatic, since trying to recall it in too much detail stresses him out so much that he has to sit down and ends up tightly wrapping his arms around his middle.]

They tore me open, Miss Sophie. With their teeth.
docinawall: (Wall)

[personal profile] docinawall 2012-07-02 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[a man in purple armor literally stuck in a wall has just appeared in the Town Square. under his helmet, his face lights up when he sees Fuu over the CAT] Fuu! Hey, Fuu! Is that you? Am I in Japan!?
resonatingdreams: (all I could manage was this)

[personal profile] resonatingdreams 2012-07-02 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I suppose I have. Where is here, may I ask?

Wash?

We've got a problem.
[And by small Wash is free to notice that 479er is broadcasting from the town center of Luministi and not Freelancer HQ.]
sarcasticpelican: (Everyone out!)

[personal profile] sarcasticpelican 2012-07-02 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
What? But Wash and I have different armor. That shouldn't have told you anything.
[She wears an ODST variant. He wears mark VI.]
manicurious: (snerk)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-02 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's similar enough.

[Both terribly unfashionable and intimidating. This person probably never ever takes hers off either, he'd be willing to bet.]
