❧ 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~

[This sure is a strange device, and the things seen in it are stranger still! What a large collection of buildings! What a large group of humans! Curiosity piqued, Nepeta decides to establish contact.]

[The video feed shows a troll with a cat hoodie smiling as she types. She seems to be in a futuristic-looking space station of some sort.]

[Finally, a troll. Even if she's still on the meteor, a familiar face is nice to see.]

Hey

[text]

[catitude]

:33 < kanaya!!! :33
:33 < *ac gr33ts ga in the ancient and most traditional feline custom of pouncing*
:33 < we havent talked much lately :OO
:33 < whats up?

[chainsawspistice]

Its A Long Story
Ga Says As Shes Bowled Over By Many Pounds Of Unadulterated Feline Prowess
Or Purrowess As Some Might Say If They Were Particularly Inclined To Insert Cat Related Words Into Otherwise Unrelated Language
The Short Story Is That Im On A Space Station Now Instead Of The Meteor
And That Im A Rainbow Drinker I Guess

[catitude]

:33 < a rainbow drinker?
:33 < wow!
:33 < *ac twitches her whiskers in furiendly inquiry*
:33 < *as a purrplexed frown crosses her face*
:33 < i thought those werent real

[chainsawspistice]

Yeah I Thought So Too
But I Died And Woke Up Like This So Its Hard To Argue
Ga Says Shrugging

[catitude]

:33 < oh
:33 < youre dead?
:33 < really :((
:33 < like aradia?

[chainsawspistice]

Kind Of
Only Instead Of Being A Ghost Then A Frog And So On
I Was Just An Undead Hordeling Then A Rainbow Drinker
Her Record Is Really Much More Impressive I Would Say
And I Am Still Alive So To Speak

[text w/e]

[tutored]

[Oh god his thing just beeped what do--

He fumbles with the CAT for a moment, catching a glimpse or two of a cosplaying cat girl (WEIRD), before seeing the text message that arrives after the video feed.

His first attempt at replying is not the best, but he accidentally sends it anyway.]

diws this thung work hello???????who

yeah w/e!!!

[catitude]

[Oh hey! It it's a human kid!]

[And his typing is really bad. Well, she's very unjudgmental!]

:33 < hiiiii!
:33 < *ac pads ofur to give her new playmate a carefur sniff*
:33 < *whats your name? she asks*

[tutored]

[He jumps at the ping, nearly dropping the device. Again.]

sawada tuna

whore you???

[Actually, that looks a bit wrong. But he's new to this suddenly-understands-English thing, so sue him. Considering all that's happened so far, this conversation is probably the most normal.

Despite the cosplaying cat girl.

At least he's used to cosplaying girls. Yes.

Wait, no, he doesn't cosplay girls. No, no. He's not used to that. He's used to girls who cosplay. Yeeeeeeeah.]

[catitude]

[yeaaaaah right]

:33 < h33h33 hello mr tuna! :33
:33 < your name is furry delicious, i can purractically smell tuna now!
:33 < *ac comments with licks of her lips*
:33 < im nepeta leijon

[tutored]

[It's the gosh darn truth!!

Also, he has absolutely NO IDEA how to read her name. He always knew these newfound English powers would fail him.]

nepeta ok
uhhi and thnks i think
whats :#33 < is that a code??? am i supposed to do that too
:33< hello

[catitude]

:33 < hello!
:33 < its a typing quirk
