❧ 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~

More than I could probably ever adequately express. I don't even know if he realizes the extent of it - he's a bit hard for me to read, you know?

[Ichijou, on the other hand, is quite easy to read. He's relieved by the transition to a less emotional subject.]

I may not look like it, but I'm originally from Japan. That's, um, it's on the planet Earth...

[sarcasticpelican]

Earth.
[You're getting a pause as she kind of looks you over again. ]
And you're sure you've never seen armor like mine before?

[manicurious]

Positive. As I've indicated, I try to make it a habit to stay far, far away from places that are likely to require the use of body armor.

And honestly, both yours and Agent Washington's make me nervous. I can see the practical purpose of hiding your faces, but I spent something like a year believing that Washington was some kind of very well-programmed robot because of it.

It took being trapped in an enclosed space alone with him for me to find out otherwise.

Im going to use a PB now- is this ok?

[sarcasticpelican]

[That doesn't seem right- Especially not after the war. But right now she needs to know things and gaining his trust is more important than finding out how crazy he is. She'll just reach up and pop the clasps now- pulling the helmet off and raising an eyebrow.]
Is that better?

PSSH NO (yeah it's fine!)

[manicurious]

[He seems utterly shocked! In a somewhat positive way.]

Well that's-

It's--
Actually---
Yes, that's far less frightening.

\o/

[sarcasticpelican]

Glad to hear it. It'd be weird if my face was scarier than my armor.
[She's back to snarking but in a way its a compliment so...this is her way of saying thanks?]

[manicurious]

I'm just surprised because I never thought I'd ever see one of you take off any piece of your armor! Someone told me that I should pester Agent Washington about it, but I didn't want to be annoying even if the curiosity is borderline painful.

I bet he's handsome.
