Event Plotting Post: The Walls of Jericho

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.

Elphaba | Wicked (musical continuity)

WHO WANTS A WICKED WITCH

I'm going to be bringing in Elphaba, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz, though she's much younger here than in her most famous incarnation. In fact, Elphaba's arrival to the Sunset Circus comes right on the heels of her first being declared "wicked" by the Wizard, after she discovered and subsequently refused to prop up his fraudulent regime.

Elphaba is the daughter of a traveling preacher who has been shunned as a freak her whole life for having been born with green skin. She's been very much treated as the least favored child, and was sent off to college primarily as a caretaker for her younger and much more adored sister Nessarose, but it's there her prodigious skills with magic are discovered by the headmistress Madame Morrible, who takes her under her wing and teaches her sorcery. However, nothing good that happens to Elphaba can last, and when she's finally sent off to see the Wizard (the Wonderful Wizard of Oz) to request his aid in healing the Animals (citizens of Oz who are essentially anthropomorphic animals) who have been stripped of their ability to speak, she discovers that he is not only a powerless charlatan but also the source of the problem and publicly denounces him, earning herself fugitive status and the title of "Wicked Witch".

So in summary, Elphaba's a little blunt, very stubborn, and incredibly disillusioned with the idea of ever being "normal" or "acceptable" to anyone but herself. Her drive to ensure that things are fair and just far outweighs her desire to fit in, and after her experiences with the Wizard and his cabinet she has an intense distrust of authority figures. Chances are she's just waiting for The Reflection to reveal themselves as another fraud like the Wizard.

Also, Elphaba's been having visions of drowning and death in water for as long as she can remember, so usually The Reflection appears to her as distant light filtering down through deep water or similar things.

Hello friend I couldn't help but notice that we're both wearing pointy black witch hats

Same hat same hat same hat

Like in total seriousness though that would be a pretty solid conversation starter for Elphaba, this hat was a gift to her from a very dear friend of hers. From before they were actually friends and it was intended as a mean-spirited prank but you know

Lmao. Eileen chose this hat because it's got a wide brim and it helps keep the gallons of monster blood she spills out of her eyes. It was a practical choice.

But yeah could meet! Eileen would probably compliment Elphaba's hat not understanding that it's actually kind of a big deal to her at all.

So most people are green where Ecks comes from, what with the world being overrun by orcs and goblins and the other green races. Of course, Elphaba doesn't really look like any of those, and Ecks has plenty of curiosity but zero tact, so she'd probably still ask enough awkward questions to give the impression that she's got some kind of weird prejudice. Ecks is just awkward and tactless in general (she doesn't really do the whole facial expression thing), but she has a keen interest in moral and ethical codes. She'll have been at the Sunset Circus for quite some time, and she's pretty set on doing whatever the Reflection says they need to do. I can see her being open to listening to Elphaba's perspective on things...but I can also see her really failing to hit it off with Elphaba because she's not socially skilled enough to navigate Elphaba's issues and because what Ecks really wants in life is to be told what to do.

Ahahah oh no I'm so sorry Ecks but Elphaba probably hates you a little bit at least at first. Then again she has a storied history of swinging around to being friends with people she initially loathes, so depending on how long they've been around and how willing Ecks is to agree to disagree about the nature of the Reflection they might eventually get along. It'd definitely be a rocky start, but Elphaba's naturally very curious too and the temptation to learn more about this world where there are other people who are green like her would eventually get to be too much for her to just avoid Ecks entirely, no matter how badly their first interaction goes.

Ecks is pretty black and white within her own mind and it makes her uneasy when people disagree about fundamental things, but she doesn't like arguing. She'd probably rather let things lie after a certain point so long as she wasn't being impeded in doing her own version of what she thought was right within this little world.

Her home world is pretty much the worst, green people or no, but she'll be happy to tell Elphaba all about it.
