Are you guys tired of these teal deers yet?

[lucetimods]

Okay everyone! This is a bit late, but here it is. The Family AU Event starts at midnight tonight! So, here's all the final juicy details.

First off, the previous event posts to refresh yourselves. Now then...



Q: Why is Bil in my Luceti?

A: Bil (known to Luceti as Sir Catherine) will arrive in Luceti on the 22nd. He will do so with Molly, the intern NPC from the Halloween Event last year. They will have their own separate log for their arrival, preceding the festival, and characters can come and interact with them in that log. Given the Malnosso's status in Luceti, characters are not likely going to be hostile (unless they are just hostile people in nature) and unlikely to attack. If they do, however, Bil will be accompanied by six Malnosso Droids and a rather handy Shift around his person to defend him. Never hurts to be prepared, right? After the festival, Bil and his entourage will go to the Battle Dome. Anyone who chooses to watch them will be able to find them use the central console to activate a lift to take them beneath the Dome. Now what could they be up to? It will be impossible to follow them, even if you saw what operations they used to get in.

As for why? There should be a Bil post after the event where he'll explain his shenanigans. If not, it will get explained in due time anyway. Please note that during this event, Bil will not be available for requests for items. In fact, he won't be available for any requests or questions until the next Malnosso journal post. Sorry, but he's busy. If you DO have any requests you want to make, you can use the Request Line post and backdate it to before the event. (To those already there, I see you! I'll get to you soon, promise.)

Q: What will my character remember?

A: All of the events of the week! However they will not have overlapping memories of their AU lives. This means that after the event is over, Elicia will not have conflicting memories of growing up as Sanji's daughter to deal with. Sokka will remember his 'kids' as they were during the event, but he won't remember changing Toph's diaper as a baby. So essentially they will only remember what happened during those ten days, but not what happened before in the AU they were a part oi.

That said, if you want them to keep some specific memories or feelings, you can, but these will most likely fade over time unless of course your character is just that desperate to keep them. But ultimately Bil doesn't want to go breaking all of his lovely Lucetian friends. Sure, maybe they'll all feel humiliated and violated afterward, but they'll bounce right back, surely!

Q: So my character wakes up and...?

A: They'll wake up in their current homes or wherever they fell asleep last night. When they wake up, they might find themselves bewildered and shocked that they're in the WRONG homes. Or maybe people are in their home who shouldn't be. Work that all out as you will. You are welcome to try and sort out who live where, but also feel free to assume they just later go to 'where they're supposed to be' and handwave wherever that location might be.

Q: So you mentioned beasties...?

A: On the 25th, beasties will arrive in Luceti. They will look something like this and stand roughly five feet high at the top of their back. They will mostly roam about the forest and other places in Luceti, seeming to try to work out some sort of scent. Some of them may even enter the village at night. If any villagers get near them, they will take in their scent and then ignore them (although not without a lot of fierce growling). They will only attack if villagers attack first or attempt to impede their path. They are vicious beasts despite their lean appearance, are quite powerful and very quick. However they are well trained beasties and won't make a kill unless absolutely unnecessary. Instead, they will try to just incapacitate or injure the villagers and leave them behind. They can, however, be killed. If captured, they will not cease attempting to escape, even at cost of injury to themselves. Once the event ends, all of them will disappear, including any corpses or captured beasties that remain.

Their true goal is to hunt out Bil, but unfortunately he's made himself quite scarce! They are Shift Hunters and it's Shifts they are 'smelling'. As a result, any character who learned summoning from Rem or is still under a kidnapping effect will warrant extra interest from them, though they still won't attack without provocation.

Q: What about the dreams?

A: Those will start on the 24th (or rather, the night between the 23rd and 24th). Characters may have snippets of their past lives show up in their dreams, or full memories. These will become more vivid and easier to remember as the event goes on. So what does this all mean? Probably nothing! Any sane person talking about fighting monsters and saving worlds is clearly a little crazy, right? Or maybe they aren't. Or maybe it's just another Shift. Life in the Luceti Valley is weird like that.

Note: Naturally the dreams are optional. If you don't want 'em, don't have 'em!

Q: What about...?

A: It's possible it was answered in previous posts. Check out this thread and this one too. Or you can just ask in this post too, if not.

Here's the TEN DAY timeline to recap what will go on.

18th: People wake up in their new AU life, startled about things all being in the wrong places and so on. Most will probably just assume the switcheroo is some sort of unusual Shift, as often happens. (We'll have a mass log for reactions.)
22nd: Bil arrives that morning. The Festival will start that evening at 6PM. (Expect a log for Bil's arrival and the festival)
24th: The dreams begin. In this scenario, they start off more slowly before allowing bigger reveals towards the end of the event.
25th: BEASTIES. (Starting around midday.)
27th: Last day of the event!
28th: People wake up that morning back to their oldselves! Commence freak out. (We'll have a mass log for reactions to that.)

Just keep in mind the mass logs are optional. You can still make posts if you want, they're just around for those who don't want to have to make a new post for that sort of thing.


And that's it! Questions in the MOD thread up top. You can do any sort of last minute plotting with the rest of the post. Have at!

MOD QUESTIONS

[lucetimods]

They go here!

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

As far as the dreams go, will everyone remember the dreams they had after the event is over?

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[consultmybooks]

Last second mod question on Giles' backstory -

Can I claim that Eyghon was just another villager with freaky powers and no morals who Giles unwisely followed when he was younger, or do I need to further adjust that whole "bad magic hates the world ticking time bomb" phase?

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[blessedbyfarore]

Just clarifying the memory thing -

If it doesn't explicitely happen or get mentioned in those ten days, they don't remember afterwards, right?

Like... at some point in the AU backstory, Link tells Paprika all about his childhood BFF Saria. If they mention Saria during the ten days, Paprika remembers what Link told her then when the event is over, but if she doesn't get mentioned in the ten days, the name 'Saria' means nothing to her afterwards?

SCHOOL LINEUP

[consultmybooks]

Teachers! Here is the lineup as I understand it now:

Headmaster/Principal: Helios Sprensonne
Music: Giles, Frederic
History: John Watson
Literature: Gelda
Art: Jilly Coppercorn
Drama: Archibald Kennedy
Magic: Raine Sage
Mathematics: Robert Hastings
Phys. Ed. : No set teacher as of yet, probably overseen by everyone on alternating days
Science: Optional, taught informally by Ginko outside school

Does this work for everyone? Last chance for changes, folks.

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

... Hughes has no real issue with waking up to a surprise slumber party with Elicia.

Even if he has no idea why Miss Winry got invited, too. BUT WHATEVER, MAN. He'll go back to his apartment happy 8|

[originaljackass]

That's my little girl you've got in there, buddy.

ORPHANAGE

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

Say hello to your moody, violent caretaker. It'll be in house 15!

Any threads/relationship figuring you want to do can go right here.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

If he needs volunteers, I can have Rydia there sometimes. I'd mentioned in one of those past posts that she and her siblings (Tinkerbell and Cielo) were orphans growing up, so that's part of her incentive for helping out.

[consultmybooks]

I'm kind of assuming that Giles, Helios, and Frederic have the same housing deal? If "experiments" still happen (despite the Malnosso's best efforts) then Halloween would still have happened and they'd still have their project. They probably moved in together just to make working on it more efficient.

[goldenglasses]

Probably doesn't need to be said, but I'm assuming that Vash and Vivi have their own small place, but Vash is over ALL the time anyway because <3 8D FAMILY! *Hugs*

Counseling stuff

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Just for the record, Paprika is going to continue her profession as a psychologist in this AU and probably has a small office in an empty apartment room (probably in CH2, since that's where she'll live with Luke and Asch at this point). If anyone wants to be her patients from the AU timeline I'm up for it. There will be a small focus on dream therapy along with it, but she won't be able to go into other people's dreams or anything.

[goldenglasses]

Actually I was wondering if I should have Vash go to Paprika during the dream part, as usually he'd be tight lipped about this sort of stuff. Might be a fun way to get new CR and give Paprika a chance to use her therapy?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

So, I think Rydia will be the only one of mine who isn't wondering why she's in someone else's house. Rydia and Kain for House 32, right? And...did we decide on Terra and her enormous brood? I know we talked about claiming an empty floor, but if someone really wants to go with another idea, now's the time.

[coolstempers.livejournal.com]

As far as my characters in Terra's brood goes, am thinking Piers is old enough that he's moved out and gotten his own place that will happen to be his place in Luceti now. He still comes to visit his parents often enough though.

I'll have to discuss things with Misa about Nu and Yuber. It's safe to assume they have their own place since they're married, but where is the questionable part. Probably going to have them think it's a different location and closer to the village proper so they don't end up feeling a need to move after the event. If you guys go with an empty floor of C7, maybe they could live nearby still?

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

If KJ's still doing it, I think Leo would probably be living in Karai's place(come on, he's old enough to have his own place! Not to mention he's married).

Anyone thought about folks working like security? I mean we'd all like to think everybody gets a long, but things happen. XD Plus with the threat of monsters and other stuff...

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

KJ's still doing it. o/ Though for the sake of Karai not having to move directly after the event, perhaps they have another apartment somewhere together |D Up high, so they can lay claim to the roof at night.

[semper_cogitans]

So uh, as it seems like the mods are okay with this (please correct me if I'm wrong, mods :D;;) Robert's going to be involved in the magitechnology that runs the village. His family will have owned some part of it (wealthy bastards that they are) and so he's got some investment in it, even if he really doesn't care about the wealth like his canon self does o/` But beyond that he's more engrossed in his teaching job-that-he-does-more-because-he-wants-to-than-for-money and any other research he's doing on the side :|;

He'll... honestly probably still live in the same place. He still has his social issues, after all, though they're probably not quite so exacerbated in this AU - instead he's more plain ol' sheltered. Vivi Aislinn will probably be supposed to be living with him for the time being while Giles derps around with Helios and Frederic about their Halloween-related project. Likely whatever work he does he takes home with him and organizes obsessively. Besides, C3 is a pretty damn empty building.

Anybody else who may or may not be directly or indirectly involved with the magitechnology?

[daisy023]

In this AU event, I've wanted to justify Daisy having a piece of armor, and I thought for a long while to make it as a luceti-wide project made with looted 3rd Party Cult artifacts.

However, maybe it'd be an easier explanation if Robert (or his family and company) had been the one that made Daisy's suit, but she was the only person with the ability to wear it without hurting herself (in canon? A poor unaugmented bastard that wears the MJOLNIR dies a horrible death). And so, Daisy owes a lot to Robert by making her stronger.

But Robert is very averse towards violence and warfare, and Daisy has that in spaces... So, I wonder if you'd like the idea. Or perhaps, that he made the suit as a prototype for miners, and Daisy just found uses for both mining and warfare?

[wise_maiden]

Umm, okay so, I've been working on a timeline of sorts for Raine here:

Aside from some things I'm still trying to iron out, if there's anything else that seems wrong, or if you have any input for current cr ideas, things like that, please let me know?

[dragoneer]

Ahhhh, sorry I haven't touched base with you yet! I really dropped the ball here. /)_(\ But this all looks good for Hiccup! I'm also assuming he'll be in school as well, right?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

...now I clearly need to work out whether Nami is actually at home or out on a ship, because wake up calls may be vastly different in either case :|a SARA ARE YOU AROUND.

[winged_moon]

Okay, hopefully I have this all straight—

Yukito still lives with Touya in the same house and still works at Seventh Heaven (though it might have a different name?). He's going to be helping Jilly with artstuff for the festival because she loves roping friends in and he loves helping. Edward is his younger brother.

Enki lives with Shouryuu on a farm somewhere outside of town. They semi-adopted Homura when he was younger, so they're kind of connected to his current family.

Ayumu is married to Homura and has two kids, Okita and Nataku. Her parents owned/ran a martial arts school that Okita has since taken over. Giles is a friend partially because of his friendship with Okita. I... think they live in House 50?

Gilbert is living with Vincent who has a tailor's shop... somewhere. The current PH house? IDEK. Oz is Gilbert's son from his first marriage (his first wife should be named Jackie or something orz), Elliot is his cousin, and Break is his brother.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

It does have a different name o/ ... I should get to informing people of that. -_-

[whatdeheckisdat]

Um, okay. I haven't got much backstory for Dhaos... >__> I do know he's a soldier and lives in C3 alone (with his wife alone, but you know), hence why he has no idea his sister has three kids, but that's about it. I'm pretty sure Sheena lives with Alexei...?

...Um, so, anyway, let's make something up! He met Bellemere, fell in love, had Sheena, and then after being a soldier and deciding that he felt it wasn't working out and Sheena needed a better father or something, they broke up. And then Bellemere proceeded to marry... another soldier XD; And then died. D8 Dhaos now dislikes Alexei for marrying his ex and proceeding not to protect her.

He knows Yuan somehow. Not sure how. Will probably just handwave this or let Meowzy decide.

Insanely protective of Martel due to unconscious recollection of zomg must save Giant Tree stuff. This only comes out in certain circumstances.

...I'm not sure how to put his and Grune's relationship. LOLOLOL. He probably thinks her airheadedness is part of her charm.

SO, if anyone needs anything, just let me know...?

[corrinesbell]

I am okay with this plan.

[markofthewise]

So I'll just link this here for Sokka. I'll try to do this for my others too. I'm a little late on this, but better late than never?

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

*will be amused when Kain starts dreaming about beating up Uncle Cecil, and his father mind-controlling him, and his brother killing him...*

Anyway, I don't have very extensive backstories for all of mine, but the basics are up here. (http://lucetimods.livejournal.com/56016.html?thread=7055312#t7055312)

THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER

[markofthebrave]

It does placeholder things for Katara and Rogue (/sob, Rogue, so little plotting done for her) while I drown in schoolwork.

HIT ME UP HERE FOR THINGS AND I'LL HAVE COOL STUFF BY WEDNESDAY.

And try to get back to you before then!

Your place has been held!

[paranoidpatriot.livejournal.com]

Your AIM won't take offline IM's... I found this out the hard way |D
Hello! Yes, my internet has been down but the modem is all fixed now. I'm still good with the love triangle-of-awesomeness. Since you have a placeholder here for Wed. I figure we can plan here if we're not all on AIM? :3 y/y/n? With the added bonus of memories slowly returning, we have options~ XD Here's just a few scenarios that came to mind:

A.)(Katara-> Jet/ Katara -> ? + Zuko-> Katara) Jet never even noticed her- till he starts dreaming about how wrong being Zuko's friend makes him feel and noticing she's always present in the back of his mind too. Zuko, on the other hand, has always had a soft spot for the girl Jet's been neglecting.

B.)(Jet-> Katara + Zuko-> Katara) Both boys seem to like the same gal, but who she's going for is a mystery. Maybe whatever she dreams about has to do with it. No one gets the girl. A bit of friendly rivalry.

C.)(Katara-> Zuko + Jet -> ?) Katara likes Zuko. Zuko is... Zuko. Jet has no problems helping his friend get a girl (even when he wasn't asked to) but as the week develops Jet seems to have more reservations about these two getting together.

D.)(Katara + Jet + Zuko) These three have been chums for ages! Once they all tried to date in various ways, but they're long past that now. Or are they? Reminisce! but that may be too close to canon really ^^;

Lemme know if any suit your fancy! Mix and match and add to these anyway you like, it's just a way to get thinking. Ideally I think I like C with a bit of A twisted into it (since the returning memories is going to mash things up no matter what happens)

Church of the GREAT ONE

[bamfing]

... which has no building yet. Does anyone have any objections if our dutiful church workers discover that someone turned the house of worship into... barracks?

Re: Church of the GREAT ONE

[fortunefail]

rofl. Great timing for a random building change, what with the festival coming up. Those priests will be miffed, man.

But considering the village was altered slightly to include magitech and whatnot, couldn't there just be a church included in that change?

[letsplaysurgeon.livejournal.com]

This is a placeholder for final Muraki plot tiemz/where I will post back story when it's not three A.M. and I should be doing the work of school.

But calling out to my lovely wife and kid--where is our family home? Should've asked this days ago, I'm so sorry for being such a fail. ;;;;

Current AU details over here. Feel free to hit me up with questions and/or plotting. /o/

Derek/Foot

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Okay...I managed to get Derek sucked into play by becoming Raphael's/Donatello's real dad (with Splinter becoming the foster dad after Derek got real sick and couldn't do it anymore.).

He also was Splinter's student and friend and...yeah. If anyone else knows who else Derek is related to (I have the immediate family charted down--Thanks, Ash), please let me know. He'll probably be wandering back into the village after several years of being away, looking for a cure to his cancer (yes, he has cancer. sucks, huh?) I'm also open to brothers, parents, cousins, etc...

Foot...other than being Link's Familiar (Link-mun, I WILL get you those Guardian specs by this afternoon...), is still pretty much unrelated. I'm good with whatever on her. :)

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

Just as a note, Leon is Link's stepbrother, so he'll still know Foot! Will Foot still be talking, or acting even more like a house cat...?

Ginko
