❧ 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~

[YEAH WELL... ]

A phone?! Then... then can I call home with it? [Do you get reception in space--WAIT WHAT SPACE WHAT

Your words, they're terrifying. It's like what a pedophile would say if he were a space station, but instead of "HEY KIDS I HAVE CANDY! 8)" it's "HEY GUYS THIS PLACE IS LOVELY! 8D"

Tsuna is 1000000000% sure this place is not lovely. In fact, it's probably terrifying and they're all going to get experimented on and then finally killed.

And his mom will never know what became of him. For a good reason!!!!]

A while... So... w-we can't escape? Hiiiiiiii, I don't want to be here! I want to go home and be normal!!

[manicurious]

When did I ever say that we can't escape? I never said that. Don't be an idiot!

Of course we can escape - it just might require a bit of patience.

[tutored]

[Oh.]

A bit of patience and what?

[Because it's never that simple.]

[manicurious]

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.

[tutored]

[What is this thing called luck....................... He's never had any!]

Um, these "others"--they wouldn't happen to be in some largely inaccessible area, would they... It'll be good if we could get in touch with them as soon as possible.

[manicurious]

[He claps his hands!]

You're getting better at this!

We've managed to retrieve one of the people who should be able to help us, but his memory seems to be a little fuzzy on several details. I've been sending out distress signals regularly so I'm certain that one of the others will come along eventually unless something terrible has happened to them!

[tutored]

[He feels like he's being mocked, but that's okay. Happens all the time... sigh. Thinking about all this makes him feel tired and he sighs aloud this time, rubbing his forehead.]

D-distress signals...?! Argh, fantastic. Besides that, we aren't in danger of being attacked by random mafia members anytime soon, are we...

[manicurious]

Mafia members? That seems highly unlikely.

That's a bit of an odd thing to be concerned about, though. Aren't you a bit young to be tied up in that sort of business already?

[tutored]

[Muttering under his breath to himself:] You'd think.

[And a little louder:] Phew, that's great. Well, I don't know about that though. If we can get kidnapped (????????) and held hostage in space stations, I think it's not that unlikely, sadly enough. But let's hope! Yes, let's hope very deeply and fervently.

[manicurious]

Hmm, as far as I know I'm the closest we have to a member of the Mafia here. And I'm far too delicate and beautiful to partake in that sort of activity.

Really though, what could you have possibly done to gain such ire from such large and powerful syndicates? You seem like a relatively cautious and inoffensive kid.
