The Relocation of the Bay and Memory Stars Event

[plungeintofire]

With the Bay cropping up in Nova City as of Tuesday, 3/31/2015. There are a few changes that characters will be able to see. Anything that was in the Bay is relocated to Nova City (that includes flyers, if your character set up spy cameras, whatever) but the Bay itself will change slightly to match its new sci-fi location.

★ The Bay will appear as an island in the center of the waterways in Nova City.
★ The appearance of the Bay will look like THIS for the duration of its relocation. Anywhere a character steps will leave a bioluminescent trail for a few seconds, similar to the one that appeared when the lights during the previous event reached the end of the barrier.
★ Pods will be located within the dome and characters will have to swim to get to shore. The water around the pods is still shallow, so they will not drown upon exiting, but it will be deep the farther out they go. If characters cannot swim, they will need to call for help.
★ There are robots located around the non-domed area on buoys that will excitedly shout to your character a few phrases (alternating each time your character talks to them):

1. "WELCOME TO NOVA CITY!"
2. "WE'VE HAD TO RELOCATE TO HELP YOU!"
3. "YOU'RE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!"
4. "THEY'RE ALMOST THERE!"
5. "BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO NEAR THE BAY'S PREVIOUS LOCATION! IT'S DANGEROUS DURING CONSTRUCTION!"

The character must speak to the robots 5 times in order to get the warning about construction. If they do not, they will not be warned. Characters who are not new may still receive the warning if they go to investigate the new Bay, as the robots will talk to anyone.
★ The smaller dome and outer tube so to speak appear to be filled with a powerful electrical current. The small dome throbs as it glows and the electrical current can be seen in the space between them. If your character touches it, they'll wake up in Nova City Hospital.

So what's at the location of the old Bay in Genessia City?
WHY, IT'S A GOOD OL' FASHION MEMORY EVENT OF COURSE.

★ Shallow water, about 3 inches deep, with a hole at the center. The hole does not appear to have a bottom, and gets incredibly deep black almost immediately.
★ Beneath the surface of the shallow water, strange lights that look like stars from the night sky float around in the water. They will flee from your character if your character tries to catch one. If your character catches one, it will dissolve in their hands, making your characters palms look like they're holding a hundred tiny stars that burn for a moment, then fade. When they fade, your character will remember one or two of their most powerful memories-- be they good or bad-- incredibly vividly. It'll be like a hallucination of it happening again. If that isn't good (or bad?) enough...
★ Every one of the "stars" has a twin. Once your character picks up one and their memories are relived, the "twin" star also has these memories. Whatever character picks it up will be able to see the memory that your character saw, at your discretion. If it a castmate, it can even be an event they were involved in from their perspective if you want to play with that. However, the memory must be from the character's life outside of Genessia. Shared memories may also come with the attached emotions, though if you as the player want to prevent that from happening for whatever reason, you can just say that the character with the twin star can't feel any emotions at all from it.
★ If your character falls in, attempts to go spelunking in, or somehow ends up in the hole, they will be teleported to a random place in Nova City with some kind of sci-fi effect that will last for a day. This is up to you! They might end up being a cyborg for a day or come out looking like a green alien, maybe they've gotten themselves confused and think they're a time traveler, or they can actually use the Force for a day. Whatever sci-fi trope you want, you've got-- but only if your character ends up in the hole somehow.
★ If your character witnesses another character entering the black hole, it will look like the lights from the previous month turned into a whirlpool within the black hole for a moment, going faster and faster until it turns black again, some of the lights shooting up toward the barrier in the sky.

UPDATES FROM QUESTIONS OFF-POST:
★ If you want to have more than one character view the "twin," the stars will dissolve, but can reform and be picked up again once they return to the water. If you want to view more than one character's memories, please make sure that you get permission from each person before viewing them all. Each person can only view a single memory once though, so characters can't watch someone else's memories or their own on repeat.

★ The stars cannot be destroyed. They will dissolve and reform in the water. If you want to keep one, however, they can be kept in a cup or bowl if they are caught and kept in the water they're captured in. Remember, though, the memory can only be viewed by each person once.

THESE EVENTS WILL GO ON FROM 3/31/2015 UNTIL 4/12/2015. You are welcome to have your character get involved in any of those until then. The Bay will be relocated back to its location after that, and things will really get interesting... so look forward to more information then!

Have questions about the event? Ask them here so that the mods don't miss it!

Questions

[koishi_komeiji]

Just one or two? or can it be like three? or two and a half? Because Koishi has two really clear ones and then a huge jumbled mess of subconscious stuff with a couple key points with no sense of time.

[plungeintofire]

You can probably push it to 3 if you think it would be good ICly! More than that though and it might get complicated from an IC standpoint and we want to make sure that everyone can get different ones, not just a bunch from the same character. But 3 should be ok.

Re: Questions

[maybeitsmaybelline]

Are the twin stars a mutual memory swap, or is it one-way? Or is that player discretion?

[plungeintofire]

It's at your discretion!

Plotting

[plungeintofire]

Plot freely. Plot here, plot on plurk, plot wherever you want. But here's a good space to get you started that everyone in the game shares! :)

Plotting

[koishi_komeiji]

GDI! You know Koishi is going to try to catch the shiny thing! You monster! You're going to make her relive horrible crippling pain of getting a chunk of her brain disconnected from the rest! ;A;

(I LOVE IT!)

Okay... So who wants to relive it with her? (not you, Satori. You have enough problems)

[neverfeltthatway]

Armin's two most powerful memories would probably be 1) the beginning of the battle of Trost, when he sees all his friends eaten by titans by titans, and the only reason he is not eaten himself is because Eren rescues him from the titan's mouth, sacrificing himself in the process, and 2) being literally strangled to death by leonardo da vinci (believing himself to be the mayor of harrogate and a cultist of hasteur) while believing himself to be a heretical prophet.

Open to anyone who wants to make their character suffer!

[dreamingartist]

I have to throw Jeb at this.

Re: Plotting

[deadlysakura]

Zoisite WILL go after the shiny thing. He gets to relive his and Kunzite's failed plan from episode 33, complete with watching Kunzite get his hands sliced again. And that Sailor Moon costume.

Re: Plotting

[cuteisawayoflife]

Quinn wants to go after the shiny thing but she's afraid to go into the water without a bathing suit. If she catches one, she gets to relive being humiliated at Brittany's party (from the guardian angel episode).

[the_heroine]

Mikorin: His two most powerful memories include:

- Staying up all night to text "MayuMayu" and teaching his fake internet girfriend to text better.

- His first successful run-through on a dating sim.

Open to anyone!

Plotting

[melodiouspacifist]

Demyx is easily drawn to water and changes might lead him to explore curiously.

The memories he'd remember:

* The moment he lost his heart.

* Being inducted into Organization XIII.

Any takers?

Plotting

[redsnowangel]

Zelos' strongest memories would be:

- When his mother died from getting hit by an attack meant for him, and telling him with her last words that he should never have been born.

- Zelos betraying his teammates and dying at their hand in the fight that followed.

Have fun with that?

[shslprogrammer]

Well I have the following for at least two muses:

Hikari:

- When Wizarmon died... If no one excepted that ever because that's a pretty strong memory.


Chihiro:

- The last few minutes of the first trail which leads to this horrifying scene

- The build up to Chihiro's own death, the reason why he was there that night and of course the dumbbell going towards his head.

Re: Plotting

[ascendedbeing]

I have to pick just two? Dammit. :|

But, uh... Okay!

Who wants to witness Sertoria being forced to fight against people when she swore that she'd use her abilities to help others all because she disobeyed her former master's orders? She won, but would be covered in blood, crying and slamming at the ground. Your character would get to see her father and mother taking care of her, so there's that. Oh, and said former master is a suave, magnificent bastard who told her that if she couldn't stop the Game (short version: it's how people can continue living on Earth after Earth, essentially having immortality, only that you have to suffer painfully. 8D)

Yeaaaah, this is her canon.

Another powerful memory is when Sertoria herself became an angel. Essentially, she started the process of linking every single self that is alive, has been alive and will be alive. You'd get to see the following people:

- Her self from when she's living in her human family. Difference is that she has white hair, bloodshot red eyes and very pale skin.

- Her interface version (which is a cute lil' plush that kinda looks like this.)

- Bioweapon version that looks the same as her original self.

- Her android self that looks like this.

- The time that she was a king/the physical manifestation of the Holy Grail and also when she basically married into royalty with her still current husband who's an absolute dork.

At least one's happier than the other. :3

Plotting

[vengefulyears]

Clive's two most powerful memories are:

- Watching his apartment building burn down when he was a child, trying to run in to save his parents who were still inside only to be stopped by Layton (who literally slapped him in the face) and then Clive just cried on him over the loss of his home and his parents.

- Fucking London's shit up in his giant robot mobile fortress which then began to self destruct once Layton and crew fucked his shit up, cue him shouting, "It won't end this way!" and then being knocked out by a falling pipe.

I'm brand new here and don't have a lot of CR yet so this is open to absolutely anyone who's interested in getting some weird secretly angsty dude's memories.

[skirtcladgunner]

Two memories for Tori, one good and one bad.

If you wanna go for the good one, you can have a cute little four-year-old Tori meeting Jeb for the first time. Play dates are the best, right? Yaaay!

As for the bad one, you'll get the exact moment seventeen-year-old Tori realized she was the fragment--especially part of--of the biggest threat to not just her friends, but the whole world. Oh, and being told that not only will she be killed by this threat before a certain age, but those close to her will continue to suffer due to their association to her until she finally dies.

[turbowaitress]

Just like Tori, Colette will also have a good memory and a bad memory to choose from.

Good memory: her soulless state being reversed by the key crest Lloyd made for her.

Bad memory: The party being betrayed by Zelos, causing Colette to be captured and taken to be fused with Martel.

[lovesopendoors]

Anna
1 / positive: For The First Time In Forever, because wow if arriving to Genessia and realizing how huge the place is wasn't like reliving that song, then I don't know what is. 8D
2 / negative: brb, dying... literally, because this would be Anna saving Elsa by sacrificing herself and freezing to death, ooops. And yeah, it ends there, but she can explain how it went on. :x

Petra
... Watching her friends die and seeing a 14 meter class female titan rushing toward her, what a fun day full of despair.

If anyone wants Katara or Nico, I'll be happy to come up with something for them too, so just ask! :D

THE LATEST OF LATE PLOTTING

[zeo]

KATHERINE HILLARD
01. being cornered and put under rita repulsa's spell
02. recieving the pink ranger's powers from kimberly

zuko will be sitting the memory portion of this one out, unless someone would like him to see their character's memories!

[concealedheart]

Very late plotting post, ahaha.

For Levi (cleanlevis) his most strongest sad memory would be from his past when he lost Farlan and Isabel in a battle against titans - seeing them die right before him. And then seeing his whole squad dead after Female Titan battle one. What do you mean positive memories?

For Ichiru his memory is most likely one of the times when his parents kept talking behind his back that he's too weak to follow Zero when he begins training seriously to become a hunter. The other option would be Shizuka-sama disappearing in his arms.

For Loki (divineliar) his memories are pretty much from his past (when he was a small kid) when everyone ignored and hated him. That or when another god wanted to kill him and Balder saved him - which is a bit bittersweet of a memory.

I also have Takuto (itsudemoissho), Hori (kashimapls) and Yosuke (captressentiment) if someone wants to plot with them for anything o/
