❧ 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~

[He nearly jumps out of his skin and turns to face Kanaya with an exhale.] Holy shit, how do you keep doing that? Don't give a dude a heart attack, ok? Rose with you?

[chainsawspistice]

[This is a mildly confused face you're getting.]

Keep doing what? And no, you are the first of the human players I've seen arrive. Are you sure Rose is here as well?

[moveslikestrider]

Back up the clue bus because I'm pretty sure it flew by me instead of crashing right into my person. I had the ticket but it decided to say fuck this and gon.

Where is here?

[chainsawspistice]

[The clue what. You know what, she's not even going to bother asking about this one.]

Luministi. A human-style habitation complex located on a satellite in space, contrary to the terrestrial appearance of the atmosphere. Terezi, Vriska, and I have been here for a number of weeks, and now you are too.

[moveslikestrider]

[Best choice. Good vamp, best troll.]

...so we're still in space. Awesome, glad to see we're still hurling somewhere. Because traveling is better than hanging out with horrorterrors and bubbles.

[chainsawspistice]

["We"?]

I'm beginning to suspect that our points of reference are misaligned here. My last memory prior to my arrival on this satellite was of the Veil. This is my first time meeting you in person, though apparently you have already become familiar with me to some degree.

[moveslikestrider]

[He pauses at that. While he's used to rolling through time and making fancy loops, he thought that was over with. Hahaha who the hell was he kidding it never would be.]

Right, well. Let's figure this out then. What part of the veil is the last thing you remember? I'll fill in what you need to know.

[chainsawspistice]

After speaking to Jade and instructing her on the frog breeding process, I planned to plant the matriorb in the meteor's core and utilized a transportalizer to do so. As I activated it, I suddenly found myself here instead.

[Frown.] Terezi has already informed me of my eventual failure in this task. That is, the destruction of the matriorb and the cause behind it.

[If she ever sees that seadweller around here, she is going to have words and quite possibly other things as well with him.]

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave nods at that, crossing his arms over his chest. It makes him look slightly more knightly.] She tell you about the Scratch?

[chainsawspistice]

[Why yes, that outfit is quite godtier.]

No. She was reluctant to supply details in the event that my foreknowledge will cause me to take action that could potentially doom my timeline.

[moveslikestrider]

She's probably right. Well, to explain the parts that won't doom the line in some way. We humans meet up with you guys and we're heading to a place we'll have another shot at winning.

[chainsawspistice]

Oh. That does sound more productive than our original plan. [No offense, Karkat.]

So Rose is okay too?

[moveslikestrider]

It's been pretty productive, I guess. We just have two more years of waiting to do. That's a sweep for you guys.

Yeah, Rose is cool. She has more books to read and can research her heart out. It's like Christmas to her.

[chainsawspistice]

[That's a relief.]

Christmas?

[moveslikestrider]

It's a human holiday, I think I remember us agreeing it was like you St Pedigree's eve.

[chainsawspistice]

You mean 12th Perigee's Eve.

[moveslikestrider]

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

[chainsawspistice]

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.

[moveslikestrider]

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.
