Event Plotting Post: The Walls of Jericho

[thelostmods]

Greetings, residents of the Meadous and vistors! Our 4th Wall event is right around the corner. To help facilitate this, we’ve pulled together some world descriptions and FAQs that should help anyone coming to visit the Meadous and surrounding godling lands get situated. For this event, We the Lost will be allowing:

• Straight from Canon Characters
  
• CRAU Characters
  
• CRAU or Straight from Canon Characters that have been AU’d into a Godling Realm

TL;DR - We the Lost is having a 4th Wall Event. It will take place ICly over a two-week period and open up seven additional godling realms to explore. Any and all characters are welcome for this event, be they straight from canon, CRAU, or CRAU’d into a godling realm.

THE WALLS OF JERICHO

The Events Calendar post for the plot is HERE

First and foremost, what is this event? We the Lost is a CRAU Slice of Life game set in the realm of a young godling. Every young godling in the WtL-verse develops a world unique to them and pulls people in to populate it and help them grow. Each godling is influenced by their ‘flock,’ although they all have some basic personality traits that help them make their initial flock selection. The characters in WtL have so far given their godling a name: Zephyr, and a form that changes with the seasons.

Godling worlds are small to start and they expand as the power of the godling expands. There is also a barrier placed around each world, something that separates the godlings’ pocket universes from one another and protects the population from the dangers that run rampant between the worlds. Once a god is mature enough, their barrier will come down. Until that happens, though, the wall is kept in place, holding the inhabitants in and the rest of the world out.

On January 30th, an event on the plane of the gods will shatter the barriers between worlds, breaking down the walls and exposing nearby godling realms to one another as well as the spaces between.

This event will have three effects:

1. There will be an unexpected and unmanageable ‘pull’ out in the multi-verse that will drag in characters straight from canon or from other games and drop them into unsuspecting godling lands.
   
2. Characters already within godling realms will be ‘flung’ across their own plane and may wind up in a different godling world than the one they started in.
   
3. Travel between worlds will be possible.

This effect will last for two weeks (until February 13th) when the god plane will sort itself out, the barriers will be restored, everyone from the godling worlds will be put back in the right place, and anyone brought straight from canon or another game will be returned ‘home.’

The godlings will be frantically trying to sort out the situation on the god plane with the older gods and will be largely unavailable. However, they may check in now and again. More information on each of the gods and their worlds is provided below. the worlds open during this event will include:

• The Meadous - Realm of Zephyr - Flock Qualities: Lost
  
• Ajras - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Musical, Upbeat, Adventurous
  
• Midnight - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Nocturnal, Dual Natures, Hidden Sides
  
• The Sunset Circus - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Fearful, Young, Misfits
  
• Samudra - Realm of an Unnamed Godling - Flock Qualities: Unique, Flashy, Prideful, Confident
  
• The Wild West - Realm of Ara - Flock Qualities: Inventors, Healers, Builders
  
• Aria - Realm of Lalilia - Flock Qualities: Caregivers, Parents, Builders
  
• Willowhispers - Realm of Tyvn - Flock Qualities: Artists, Misanthropes, Tech Savvy

WtL DOES NOT have a network comm. To facilitate communication for this event, a universal ‘Bulletin Board’ will be put up where people in different realms will be able to communicate.

Plotting

[thelostmods]

Frisk | Undertale

[despiteeverything]

I have been horribly enabled by Sora so here I am.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW UNDERTALE, the spoiler free version of Frisk is that they are the primary protagonist, very much a stubborn optimistic child who is both a good listener/good at making friends and also prone to bouts of ridiculousness. Like flirting.

I think that Frisk has probably been there around six months and is finally starting to settle, even if they're still pretty determined that they're gonna find a way back to their family at some point. They probably would have talked to most everybody at least once. There may have been flirting involved if you've talked to them more often. Frisk also took to the underground dwellings like a fish to water and if asked why would've explained why happily. Frisk would be a frequent participant in expeditions, or even just liking to go on adventures themselves.

But not any hunting parties. Don't kill and don't be killed yo.

[inruins]

/WINKY FACE

Like we talked about vaguely in plurk- Toriel and Frisk are def meeting during this. Depending on what you're down for, I'll probably have a very confused Toriel appear in Arjas. Goat mom will cry when she sees her smoll.

Jibanyan | Yokai Watch

[truckstopped]

So does anyone want an adorable ghost cat who hates cars and trucks and loves idol groups and chocolate bars? Because I have one of those, and I'm bringing him in here.

[a_minute_younger]

Completely legitimate question: If Gary tells Jibanyan that he was a famous pop singer where he came from with a huge following will he become Gary's honorary cat groupie

[meulin]

Meulin would love an adorable ghost cat. Liking chocolate bars is just icing on the cake for her because being a cat is the best part.

Bertie Wooster (Revenance CRAU) | Jeeves & Wooster

[woosterlyways]

Hailing from 1920's England, Bertie Wooster is a man of many talents. Those talents primarily include playing the piano, singing, darts, half-remembering quotations from works of literature, and not much else. To put it simply, he is the quintessential upper-class twit; affable, sophisticated (mostly), and kind of useless at most things, being very accustomed to always having someone else around to take care of day to day tasks for him. He likes people and enjoys hosting parties, but he's polite to a fault and more than a bit of a ditz, which can tend to lead him into some serious misunderstandings.

Also, again, he's from the 20's so he's kind of old-fashioned. His brief time in Revenance did force him to come to terms with this a little bit, but he still gets weird around people who don't dress "properly" and women who pursue more "masculine" interests (such as pretty much everything there is to do in Ajras other than hang around in the caves like he does) and anyone else who's similarly out of the ordinary by those standards so. Apologies for that in advance.

Re: Bertie Wooster (Revenance CRAU) | Jeeves & Wooster

[vikingstrain]

... what's this? Another Mr Wooster? How very interesting.

[cheeseburger_backpack]

I am certain there has been a jam session. Even if it involved Steven sneaking up on Bertie with his ukulele and noodling along with the piano like a little ninja-spaniel.

[a_minute_younger]

+1 to jam sessions on Gary's end, invited or otherwise. Actually probably most of them are uninvited once Gary realizes that Bertie likes parties. I'm not sure at what point having an excitable 19-year-old showing up and bumming around Bertie's housecave will get too annoying for Bertie to handle, especially since Gary has a tendency to be a little crass and may or may not attempt to take festivities outside so they can go adventuring while they're partying. Bad decisions all around, I'm guessing.

[silberfuchs]

It's so very tempting to have Albert happen across this jam session in his travels and join in. Y'know, if there happens to be a violin handy.

[lacecase]

I just really need these two to talk about clothes and be excited about how great everything is and she'll think he talks in just the most endearing kind of way. Ginger's also going to amazed at how talented he is. Wow! Singing and piano playing? And clearly he must be extremely smart to remember anything from literature. So much brilliance all in one handsome package.

(Don't fret Bertie she won't fall in love with you).

Bertie Wooster (My Little Jamjar CRAU) | Jeeves and Wooster

[tinkertytonk]

As above, but pony-flavored. This version Bertie, the upper class 1920's twit does come significantly more socially aware than his canon counterpart after two and a half years in another world. He's also quite a bit more adventurous in relative terms.

Bertie is a small, yellow pegasus of the My Little Pony variety with a pair of spats for his cutie mark and a special talent in dancing. He also happens to be the Element of Wonder after taking down the Big Bad of My Little Jamjar. Instead of going home as he thought he would be at the end of that romp, Bertie was transported to Ajras. He's only been in the place a few months and hasn't worked out that he could potentially wish to be a human again.

In general, he's polite, inclined to bursting out in song and dance, as is the wont of a pony, and finding clouds to bring down into the valley and snooze on. He's a little more at ease with the women in Ajras who have more traditionally masculine habits, but clothes still throw him for a loop. He's been a pony for two and half years. People weren't really wearing clothes for him to be aghast about.

Re: Bertie Wooster (My Little Jamjar CRAU) | Jeeves and Wooster

[vikingstrain]

Jeeves will be somewhat confused that he hasn't tried to wish himself back human yet. And very, very quietly glad to see him again.

[truckstopped]

Jibanyan's going to be so excited to have more talking animals there, I'm just saying.

[a_minute_younger]

However will Gary be able to party with all the Berties?? He's definitely going to bug him a lot for company and enjoy spontaneous song-and-dance numbers while exploring, mostly because he's a singing and dancing horse. Holy shit. Mind fucking blown. Please advise.

[spiritofwinter]

So what happens when you freeze a cloud with a sleeping pegasus on it? Science wants to know.



Jack would catch him if he looked like he was actually going to fall and get hurt, though.

[lacecase]

OR PERHAPS all of the above but at the pony version! Or also both! She'd be so enamored at a magical talking pony how lovely.

Takua the Chronicler | Bionicle

[forgotmyself]

One of the walls behind the Wish Crystal has been smoothed and polished, and turned into a Wall of History by someone who's been here since day one. Takua (that's him in the blue mask in the linked picture) was his island's Chronicler, and he's kept up the practice here. Arrivals, disappearances, events (godly and otherwise), important discoveries, they're all recorded in incredibly neat carvings, each letter about three inches in diameter.

Takua doesn't lead expeditions into the unknown, but he's totally going to tag along whenever something cool might happen, and he has a knack for being in the right place at the right time to see interesting events. He's a smallish (three and a half feet tall) biomechanical creature called a Matoran from an island, and despite the indications that there was clearly some kind of extremely high tech stuff going on in his world's past (literally everything on his planet is biomechanical, robotic framing filled in with muscle tissue), his island is about the same level of tech as Ajras. Plus they use lightstones for their underground village too, so that cool.

After about a year and a half here he's totally gotten over his "completely organic creatures are horrifying" initial reaction, which is good. He's also probably contributed some culturally-important concepts to everyday conversation (or just, you know, increasing confusion), like referring to the "village" part of Ajras as Ajras-koro (or, the koro) and anywhere else (above- or belowground) as Ajras-wahi (or just the wahi).

Voted most likely to go on stupid risky adventures. Most likely to forget how human genders work.

Gary Epps (the Games CRAU) | OC

[a_minute_younger]

Hello yes this is Gary, one of several characters I'm going to be dragging here from Elementverse; the simple world description is a modern semi-utopia and also there are superpowers, naturally there's more comprehensive worldbuilding info on Gary's journal is anyone's curious. This version of Gary is brought not only from a very early canonpoint where the protagonists are all just beginning to know one another, but also after he's spent a little under a year in the Games, a Hunger Games-based jamjar. During his time kidnapped in Panem, Gary won no tournaments, but he did make a name for himself as the Capitol's teenaage Tribute pop idol and managed to petition out of the Tribute program as a Panem citizen, where he then eagerly pursued his career as a performer (while the city and his friends were preparing for war around him). He'll have been brought to Ajras soon after he finally got comfortable in this new position and released his last album.

Gary hasn't been in Ajras very long--maybe three or four months--but he's used to being uprooted and finding ways to entertain himself and has adjusted accordingly. Thankfully his time in Panem has taught him how to channel his natural skepticism away from just denying weird aspects of his new environment, leading instead to a very persistent curiosity that this world takes advantage of readily. No electronics means Gary has little investment in his house, so he probably spends most of his time exploring, doing really stupid shit just to see if he can get away with it, and being really loud the whole time. His ability to control his own adrenaline was repressed in Panem but he would have wished for it back almost as soon as he realized he could, meaning that he's filled with apparently boundless energy and oblivious to any physical duress until he crashes very hard. He's certainly partaken in many expeditions, in planned groups and on his own, many times since he's arrived--and gotten into just as many tricky situations as a result. If someone hasn't put a leash on him yet, they should. Responsible adults to make sure Gary doesn't get too ahead of himself and other kids that he can make bad decisions with would all have some experience dealing with him at some point, along with everyone else, because Gary has a big set of lungs and zero chill and if he can't be heard belting the lyrics to something while puttering through the caves then he's probably getting into trouble somewhere.

Lukas | OC| Ruby City CRAU

[badatmyjob]

Heeeey so this is Lan and this is the other fella I'm bringing in besides Theo. He's the anti-Theo. Lukas might be a demon, but he's outgoing, optimistic, fun-loving, and dumb as a pile of rocks. He love meeting new people and dancing and he can bake like nobody's business. He spent about two years in Ruby City where he helped run a coffee shop and had a grand old time, when things weren't going all weird and scary. As they sometimes did.

Demons are primarily city dwellers, so while Lukas likes some adventure, he'll definitely be a fish out of water here. He's also very social so he won't like being alone, and will follow around almost anyone like a 6 and a half foot tall lost puppy.

Steven Universe | Steven Universe

[cheeseburger_backpack]

You can all blame Kathryn for this. I just brought Steven into Big Applesauce, so I'll probably forego CRAU in favor of just bringing him straight from canon to this magical cave city.

I imagine Steven has been taking advantage of all the swell underground acoustics to jam on his ukulele and sing catchy, uplifting songs about friendship and junk. The fact that all of the rocks appear to just be rocks is kind of weird, but hey, it's still pretty cool living in a cave! Reminds him of home - unlike the surface world, which is probably a bit nippy for his tastes. Still, this kid is never going to pass up the chance to go exploring in any given direction you care to point him.

Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians

[spiritofwinter]

Jack Frost is the embodiment of winter, and he's also a very lonely young man -- or he was until he got pulled into Ajras and wished to become visible to everyone around him. This Jack comes from before the events of the movie, and was brought into Ajras right at the start. He's got some pent-up angst about being stuck somewhere so small, but on the other hand it's a nice little playground for him, he can actually talk to people here, and he's very fond of Everfrost. He vastly prefers the outdoor portion of the world, and can often be found leading adventuring parties (though not hunting parties), starting snowball fights, or setting up elaborate pranks.

Meulin Leijon | Homestuck

[meulin]

Ironically, I'm bringing a deaf girl to the musical world but she makes do.

Meulin is a troll from Beforus, which means that she, unlike the trolls from Alternia, had a life that was pretty cushy. There was that one incident where her matesprit deafened her and another where a member of their group blew them all up, but all in all, not nearly as awful a life as her Alternian counterpart. Mostly. At least as far as she's really aware.

She's bubbly and easily excited, very much an explorer of the world and takes the caverns quite easily. She's nocturnal so she only ventures above ground at night, but in the caverns that's easy to ignore.

Meulin's been here for about a year and is comfortably settled in. Her text would be familiar on the bulletin board, a bright green, along with cat faces and occasional shipping notes. She dabbles in matchmaking, often writing a story or two about you all. It's a bad habit. As is her habit of avoidance. Really, she's been a little stuck in her ways and it's nice to have some place solid and new to stretch her legs and force her to change. It's still a bubble but one entirely new and with strange places to explore.

ETA: She can read lips and use sign language, though it's not clear how much this would have in common with ASL, considering it was made up between her and her ex-matesprit. Also she's prone to adding hashtags to her bulletin board posts. She misses computers.

Ginger (Snowblind CRAU) | OC

[lacecase]

Ginger’s a happy-go-lucky blonde with a passion for fashion and an endearingly simple disposition. She hails from a fictional town set in a beautiful agricultural valley reminiscent of those found in the Harvest Moon games. Although the town itself is fictional, it’s located in 21st century America. She’s coming from Snowblind’s Norfinbury, where the temperatures are constantly freezing, so she won’t be missing that--or the monsters--but she will be missing all the friends (imagined or otherwise) that she made there. The unfailing optimist wouldn’t let any of that scary nonsense get her down!

She’ll have been here for about nine months, and feeling well settled in. She’s pretty adaptable if only because she likes to find the good in the things around her and not dwell on what makes her sad. If asked about Norfinbury, she wouldn’t mind talking about it, but would probably leave out a few details to spare her own heart. Ginger was a seamstress studying to become a fashion designer, so she’ll sew anything for anyone if she has what she needs to do so.
