Come with me and you'll see a world of pure imagination...

Does your life seem to need just a little more magic to it? It does? Good!

But first of all, let's do all the new friend adds for this cycle. We've got a lot of great new people in the game, so let's not miss out on them! Copy the below in the admin console and get yourself updated. If you are new and not on this list, be sure to comment here with your new character.



Secondly, the weather calendar has finally been updated for this month! Apologies for the delay, but hopefully this should clear up any questions about the upcoming weather.

Thirdly, we're still working on getting the new missions set up. There's no new details yet, but we didn't get to announce them last month like we'd hoped. We aim to have them ready by the time this next event is over. Speaking of which...

Finally, starting on the 25th at midnight (or 12:01 AM to be absolutely clear), a little bit of magic will enter Luceti. Suddenly everything will be just a little bit like a fairy tale!

For the week, everyone in Luceti will suddenly feel compelled to behave a certain way, following classic fairy tale roles. Naruto suddenly finds himself wanting to practice evil sorcery and kidnap princesses - such as Toph Bei Fong. Lucky for her that she can rely on the brave and handsome Prince Charming, aka Elicia Hughes, to come to her rescue. There are plenty more roles to go around. Perhaps Horatio will start hiding under the bridge and begin taking tolls from people crossing it, Dr. McCoy might feel compelled to sneak into people's homes and repair their shoes, or Sheena might decide she need to break into someone's apartment and find the porridge that's just right for her.

While under the experiment's effects, characters will be consciously aware of what's going on and are free to try and resist it all they like. But the more they don't do it, the more difficult it will be to not just give in. Fortunately once they reach their 'Happily Ever After' (the end of their story), they'll go back to normal. Unless, of course, they get wrapped up in a new story. For as long as they are stuck in a fairy tale (which can strike at random and out of the blue), they'll be stuck in the appropriate costume and unable to get rid of it until their story ends.

As for the roles characters can play, be creative! Anything from fairy tales are acceptable. Classic fables and stories are acceptable too. Becoming the 'monster under the bed' is perfectly acceptable. We won't begrudge you throwing in a bit of Shakespeare too. Just note that these will only cause people to act as their role intends them to, but they won't get any special powers or skills from it, though a bit of shape changing may occur to better fit the role (such as gaining horns, a mermaid's tail, and so on). If their story involves some magical item (such as a magic lamp), then some mundane object can fill the role (such as a shoe), but the will be compelled to act as if that item is indeed special.

For ideas on what kind of roles to play, consider looking at classic tropes and archetypal characters in fairy tales. (Warning: we're not responsible for the hours you may lost to clicking the previous links.) For other ideas, just look at some classic fairy tales like these or go find some of your own. There's tons to work with!

Just remember, the bad guy always loses in the end! And that many Happily Ever Afters end with being Happily Married.

Questions and comments are welcome below. Feel free to do any plotting you want to do all in here. Have fun! It all ends at midnight on the 2nd (or 11:59PM on the 1st). Don't all fairy tales?

...After I am done fainting from Sheena being used as an example (!!!) - and a hilarious one, I may use this - I have to ask, does this compel them to dress like their roles too? Like, if I make this ninja into a helpless princess, will she want to wear all the skirts and the pointy hat with little veil?

Beautiful. Anyone want to plot something with a girl from a canon full of fairy tale pieces anyway? 8D

And here I thought I had a great question, even though something was telling me I already knew the answer...

[personal profile] ayu_nee 2011-09-23 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
....why do I have a sudden impulse to put Ayumu in a Sleeping Beauty-style tower surrounded by briars or something. :|a

Anyone interested in plotting with Ayu, Gilbert, Yue/kito, Enki, or Nunnally?

This. Looks amazing.

I just hope I don't have to haitus right through it. ;;

In the hopes that I do not, any thoughts on stuff? I'll give it more serious consideration tomorrow, I'm thinking.

Don't know what I'll do with Midna but I'm leaning towards Knight in Shining Armor Winry or Prince Winry.

Or, lol, Princess 'Napping Winry. Just some thoughts. Anyone want to play with any of those things?

[identity profile] ten-ofspades.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
well this should be entertaining. :|a I have no idea what I'll do with anyone yet, but either way this can only end horribly beautifully.

Are fairy tales from other worlds game? I'm specifically thinking "Tales of Beadle the Bard" from Harry Potter here.

I'm serious, if those are game, I would love to get involved in one of those like burning.

Also, does damage done over the course of the fairy tale carry over? If a character "dies" fulfilling their role, do they actually die?

ANYWAY! Plotting ideas! Giles, of course, is probably going to be way more suited to the original "Grim" fairy tales of any given world. I'd be up for him being a monster if anyone needs an antagonist! Troll under the bridge, dragon guarding the treasure, evil sorcerer, you name it. Although if there are any fairy tales out there that would let him play the hero, all the better...

If anyone does want to work him into a "traditional" fairy tale, though, I'd also be up for that.

... we have to do something horrible with PH cast, clearly.

[personal profile] mistlegacy 2011-09-23 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what I'll do with this yet, so suggestions are welcome! (Or maybe Rydia will be the straight man to all these shenanigans, who knows.)

Oh yes, and Terra will need plotting, too.

Plotting at reasonable hours buddies?

I am not clicking those links for love nor money because it's 11:30 here.

Oh. Oh dear. Yes.

I need to hurry and finish canon review so I can get in Gilbert headspace again.

The question is, what SORT of horrible...

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
OKAY WELL

Nami should totally be the witch from Snow White. HANDING OUT POISON MIKANS TO EVERY PRINCESS SHE FINDS or something >_>a

I'm tempted to make Karai a Cinderella-type, but that would require a Prince Charming with a glass shoe.

As for Katie...

...you know, I think she'll go Goldilocks and ransack people's houses for porridge. Which is wonderful, because she hates porridge. With a passion.


I AM OPEN TO ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS / PLOTTINGS / IDEAS FOR SHENANIGANS


[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Giles should be the father for a fairy-tale princess Ami, lulz. Though I sort of want to work on knight/princess with Ami/Usa if Usa-mun is up for it. BOTH??

Whoops, wrong button

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2011-09-23 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, how perfectly convenient XD

As a newbie and a player of one, how will this affect characters who are already fairy tale characters? Would Beast turn into more the classic Beast from his tale, or would he suddenly have the urge to go blow down a straw house?
