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.

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.

I personally headcanon that Frisk loves stories and history and things like that and idk, I'm not super canon-familiar but I feel like they'd get on well. They'd probably find his Wall of History fascinating. Maybe they hung out a decent bit? :|a

[forgotmyself]

Takua would totally be up for hanging out. He's the kind of guy who winds up being in like, everyone's vague friend circle. He also doesn't have a concept of "children" because his species doesn't do the reproduction thing so he'd basically just treat Frisk like an adult.

Also does Frisk want to learn to ride a Gukko bird. And by they're kind of large. Because Takua's probably wished for giant birds.

Gary has probably zero interest in the meticulous methodicalness of Takua's wall but he's an organic robot that likes adventures and Gary's pretty stoked about that ngl. Come explore with him and speak at him, there is a slight chance that Gary might actually pay attention enough to marvel over the culture shock and try feeding him bullshit to explain any discrepancies

[forgotmyself]

It's not like he really enjoys writing down history it was just his job back home. His species doesn't age, so Takua is actually 100,000 years old, but they're also super prone to memory loss if they get any kind of head trauma or electrical shock, so public written history is useful.

He'd fall for Gary's bs way more often than he probably should but tbf things like "fabric exists" and "our skeletons are on the inside" and "we use fire to cook our food" are all novel concepts so who knows what else could be true about these tall squishy things.

Also yeah he's wished for like six-foot-tall biomechanical birds to ride on like I've linked in the thread with Frisk.

So Jack and Takua would have both been around at the beginning, but Jack wouldn't have been visible for a while at first. He probably would have made himself a real nuisance in the early days, before he could talk to anyone. I don't know how forgiving Takua is, or whether he'd give reactions Jack would find funny enough to make him a repeat prank target, but it might be something to consider.

[forgotmyself]

Pranks are right up Takua's alley he's the guy who pranks everyone especially people who clearly don't know how to take a joke. Admittedly he doesn't know many pranks besides basic "sneak up behind you and yell boo" but he probably tried to set harmless traps for Jack at the beginning, and they might have even pulled off some more complicated things together?

[spiritofwinter]

Perfect. Prank buddies are a go! To be fair Jack's going to have to learn how to pull off real pranks that don't depend on everyone being unable to see him, so it'll be a learning experience for both of them.
