❧ 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, I've been home ever since they teleported us back... [Though she does look worried. If she got to stay while the others got to leave, what did that mean?

At the mention of Conner, Cissie can't help looking amused.] Unfortunately. He's kind of a doofus, but Kon--Conner is---

[Then it hits her.]

... Don't tell me. He's over there, isn't he?

[fortune_sought]

[she sees that worry and says, firmly:] Then that is a relief.

[but Sophie cringes at that. she hadn't thought before asking the question, but she realises now that she's just going to worry Cissie more--and, unfortunately, it's too late not to. reluctantly, she admits:] Yes...I'm afraid so. But I'm certain we'll find another way out. [a bit awkwardly, she adds:] Are you two very close?

[alwaysanarcher]

[She nods, just as awkwardly] Um, I'm sure he'll tell you eventually, but we were on the same superhero team... back when I was actually into superheroing and all. I quit, but Kon's still in it full-time.

I'm not worried about Kon so much as I'm worried about everyone else. He's a good guy, but he's kind of girl-crazy... and ridiculously good at everything except magic.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie looks at Cissie in surprise at that description] Really? From what I've seen, he's been very polite and helpful. [because thankfully, she missed seeing him as a zombie]

[alwaysanarcher]

Wait. Polite and helpful? Kon?

[She's snickering now, because that really isn't her Kon at all.] He probably thinks you're really hot. Or that you're his elder, because he's usually a dork unless he thinks he can get a kiss out of you... or you're someone's mom.

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie reddens, not sure what to think of...either of those options, honestly] What!? He's done nothing of the sort!

[she pauses before adding, with a small, proud smile:] But...I do have a son now, Cissie.

[alwaysanarcher]

Then you're just lucky.

[Oh. Oh god. Cissie squeals before covering her mouth with her hands.] Really? You and Howl tied the knot? That's so exciting! ... What's his name?

[fortune_sought]

I...suppose I might be. [she likes that explanation better than the alternatives, at least. she'd hate to think that Kon is preparing to try for a kiss]

[she smiles] Yes, we did. [but there's sadness in her eyes as she thinks of her missing husband] And his name is Morgan. I wish you could meet him! He's...well, he's only weeks old... [her smile slips]
