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.

So since Eileen and Toriel have both been around since the very beginning of Aria, is it safe to say that they're fairly tight by now?

Eileen definitely showed up to Aria with multiple serious injuries, and then a few weeks in she probably goes through some sort of blood withdrawl. She'd be really hesitant to accept help from a monster at first, but if Toriel helped her through those things, Eileen would begin to truly trust her.

Add another four years of friendship after that and it's hard to imagine them not being friends.

[inruins]

yaasss. I am board with them being tight buds. They're probably the only older women around so extra bonus of bonding.

Yeah, Toriel would offer as much help as she could. Especially when she realized Eileen is kind of putting herself through the wringer. Toriel is too much of a fusser to just let her neighbor, no matter how stubborn hurt herself.

Hell, I probably guess if they're super close they confided some canon bullshit to each other. I pull Toriel from Pacifist run of the game- so she has a lot of baggage she hasn't dealt with regarding human children/children in general.

[hoonter]

Oh my god you're right they're probably gonna be the only old ladies more mature women around. They probably have a weekly bridge/mahjong game in which they gossip about the birds in Aria or some dumb shit oh lord.

And yes tell her about all of your child baggage. She'll tell Toriel all about the scourge and her own shitty world. She wishes the beasts of her world just baked people pies instead of brutally murdering them.

Also her job is to murder her former friends and allies after they're too far gone to control themselves which is going to be a big hurtle when it comes to befriending someone who is ALREADY a large monster.

spoilers for undertale for anyone trying to avoid 'em

Two old women gossip and compare war stories. FUCK MAN, Toriel lived through a war centuries ago when monsters were sealed in the mountain by humanity. SHE SEEN SOME SHIT. She was queen back then, so she had front seat action to everything happening to monster kind.

Both of them def comforted each other and found a lot of solace in that.

[hoonter]

Yep just two old ladies going to bridge club and talking about the atrocities they've seen mankind commit. She'll tell Toriel about the Hunter's Dream and all the things that happened to her friends (she had to kill most of them. that's what happened to them).

She hasn't cried about that kind of thing in decades, but it still bothers her. Old lady hugs will be a thing.
