❧ 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 turns at the sound of her voice, and a relieved expression crosses his face, as he's glad to see she's unhurt. Still, he can't help but protest just a little bit at her words.]

Hey, I think I know how to run with a sword!

[He's going to sheath it anyway, though, because otherwise he does risk hurting her when he turns and goes back to where she is.]

Wasn't sure if we'd need it or not. Are all those zombie-things gone, do ye think?

Re: [action]

[wind_of_reason]

It... seems to be. As sudden a change as everything seems to happen here, so, I think I can say with some certainty that that crisis is over.

I'm glad to see you in person! The way into the ship is open then?

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, for the moment. I don't know how long it'll last, but I wanted to make sure ye were all right. It's not the same, talking to ye over the CAT.

[He much prefers face to face things, especially when it means he can give his friend a hug...which hopefully she won't mind too much. For her sake, though, he'll keep it brief.]

I'm glad to see ye too. Hey, look, what's been going on while I was stuck on the spacestation? Apart from the zombie-things, that is?

[wind_of_reason]

[She does blush at the sudden hug, but doesn't mind too much at all. It's a relief to see him in person.]

Apart from that? Not much! It sounded like you've had a pretty comparable experience to ours, right down to missing hot water.

[bonnypiperlad]

[He...might not have been all that worried about the lack of hot water. At least he didn't realize the door was open right away, so he had a chance to clean up?]

Well, whoever sabotaged the machines did a pretty thorough job of it. Besides, from what Proctor was saying all the systems work together, which is why there needed to be people looking for them in the town too.

[He frowns at something, looking around for a moment.] You've not seen him out here at all, have ye?

[wind_of_reason]

[She looks surprised at that, also glancing around.] No, I haven't. You mean, he's not with you? Where could he have gone?

[bonnypiperlad]

I've not seen him since he made the announcement, just before the zombie-things came. I thought maybe he'd come out here once he could just to get away from them, but...

[He frowns, not liking the possibilities.]

Maybe he's hiding. Or maybe he'd not managed to fight them off.

[wind_of_reason]

Oh no... he should have come out, then we could have protected him. I hope he's just hiding.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, but I'm not sure when the way opened. It must've at some point to let the zombies in, but if they came in another way...then he couldn't have, could he?

[Which means it was on Jamie, and he hadn't been there when it happened. Given what happened to Ichijou as well...well, the expression on his face speaks volumes about his feelings.]

I should've tried harder to get to where he was when everything started.
