❧ 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~

[For someone who values control, showing up in an unfamiliar location is a pretty big metaphorical kick in the teeth. Not that Sasha shows just how much this bothers him - control, after all...

He takes a good look around... and shakes his head. A cigarette floats out of his pocket, and as he catches it between two fingers on his right hand, it lights itself. He takes a drag, and then starts walking. Answers would be nice.

[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!
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~]

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.
censorcontrol: (pondering)

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-02 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[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.
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?
manicurious: (business time)

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.
censorcontrol: (what's this?)

Gmail! Give me my notifs! /stabs inbox! >|

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-04 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I can see where a town would be cozier than a space station. Both are rather... inconvenient, though.

[Another drag. He shakes his head.] No, that's quite all right. As of right now, I don't see how that would be of much use. Though I would like to know why I'm here.
manicurious: (Sleepyjou)

It can't give you notifs if it's dead! D:

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-04 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, I actually find it quite convenient, at least while everything is functioning correctly. But I know I'm in the minority with that since I'm not especially fond of where I came from.

The station has switched ownership quite a few times over the years, and different owners have randomly, forcibly brought a variety of people here for several different reasons. But I believe that the current one is doing it purely for his own entertainment.

That's the impression I have, anyway. It comes from having the exclusive privilege of receiving personally-tailored harassment from him from time to time.
censorcontrol: (pondering)

it was just a little love stab. :x

[personal profile] censorcontrol 2012-07-04 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Personally-tailored harassment? [Pause.] What, did you personally offend them somehow? Or, based on your belief, do they just find you the most entertaining?
manicurious: (snerk)

[personal profile] manicurious 2012-07-04 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's a very good question. I don't believe that I did anything that would bother him, aside from screaming some nasty things about him while committing a terrible act of violence, and there was also the time when I sent him a few thousand text messages that were intended for someone else...

But that was all way after he started it!
