PLOTTING: Psycho-Not

On the 8th of the month, residents of the Meadous will wake to find a message from Zephyr in their mailboxes.

I got my first homework assignment! I was hoping you could help? If not, that's okay! Like I said, I'm not doing anything without you saying it's okay anymore. I have to test the limits and shape of my power. Teacher said I should pick out one person from the Meadous with special abilities and share those with as many other people in the Meadous as I can. But I have to be careful to make sure nothing gets out of control, and I can keep an eye on everyone all at the same time to make sure they're okay.

I thought it would be fun for everyone to try out Lili's powers for one week. Being a Psychonaut is really cool! You get to be a psychic spy and see inside each other's heads. Lili has all of her Merit Badges, so that's clairvoyance, confusion, invisibility, levitation, shield, marksmanship, telekinesis, and pyrokinesis. And you'll each get a special door that will let you access the Collective Unconscious where you can visit each other's minds and see what they're like.

Please let me know if you want to join in! :)


Beneath the words are two big check boxes. One says: 'Yes, please!' The other says: 'No, thank you!'

PSYCHO-NOT

The Events Calendar post for the plot is HERE

This is a week-long event that is the first homework assignment Zephyr will be trying out for school. It is an OPT-IN event. (You may hand-wave the opting in/out, as you may do for all of these types of events moving forward.) Your character will not gain Psychonaut abilities if they do not want them. Whether they would still be affected by those with Psychonaut abilities is up to you.

If anyone abuses the abilities to hurt another person or themselves, they will be stripped of the Psychonaut abilities for the remainder of the event. We will have an open log post for characters to play with their new abilities and test them out. Go wild! Just don't hurt each other or destroy the Meadous. And maybe someone ought to wrangle Lili for a better explanation of all this stuff.

A brief overview of powers may be found BELOW


May I opt out?
Yes! This is an OPT-IN plot, meaning that your character will not be affected unless they would ICly elect to be.

My character would not opt-in. Is there still a way for me to participate?
Indeed! It is up to your discretion if your character will be affected by the powers other characters are given. If you still want to do mindscape shenanigans, you could totally have someone who has accepted powers enter into your character's mind. Or have them be affected by confusion, clairvoyance, or any of the other abilities Psychonaut powers confer.

Can we abuse our powers to hurt someone?
You can! Zephyr will be very disappointed, though, and your character will be stripped of powers for the remainder of the week once the abuse occurs. Depending on the severity of the abuse, your character may receive additional punishments up to and including being barred from gaining powers in the next power-granting event. Please take this into account when considering OOCly what you would like to do! Minor abuses for silly pranks will be met with chiding after the event, but nothing during the event. NOTE: Abuse of powers to hurt a character will require BOTH mun and mod approval.

What if the abuse is accidental?
Zephyr understands that people can make mistakes, especially with new powers. If it's obvious that the abuse was accidental, Zephyr will gently remove that particular power and let the character play with their other abilities for the remainder of the week. NOTE: Abuse of powers to hurt a character will require BOTH mun and mod approval.

Help! I don't understand this Psychonaut stuff at all!
ICly, that's to be expected! Unless your characters talk to Lili, they'll be sorting all of this out on their own. OOCly, please feel free to ask questions below so we can get things ironed out for you!

Can we talk to Zephyr?
Unfortunately, they will be unavailable for talk during the event as they'll be focused on keeping it running/observing. If your character abuses their powers, they'll receive a message from Zephyr, but the godling will be quiet until after the event when they'll ask for feedback, otherwise.

Please feel free to ask below if you have any other questions that we haven’t thought of!

Hajime Aikawa

Hajime is not going to be able to resist playing with new powers when given the option, so he's opting in to this. I'm up for people coming into his mindscape, parts of which look way older than they should, given Hajime's apparent age. (Someone please give him grief and/or make him awkward about this, please. 8D)

Since he's got issues with emotions because they're still weird to have, I'd really love to have him remain stone-faced about something that would make him get all emotional, and then have his powers start doing crazy things while he's just standing there and linefacing and trying to deny that.

Natalie and Hajime need to test out their new powers together. Maybe they can make it a bit of a competition? They're technically on even ground, being equally new to the stuff....

Competition! That would be great and wonderful and possibly give Hajime cause to accidentally wreck something if he gets flustered.

You want a Hajime running around in Hisame's mindscape? 8D Or just fun with telekinesis/setting things on fire/that sort of thing?

Can Daigo get into his mindscape? Hajime is welcome to wander around in King's as long as he wants :P

Daigo certainly can! He'd probably appreciate some of the ancient ruin parts. Good place for an adventure. 8D

Parkour adventures!
