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.

Clayton Epps (Snowblind CRAU) | OC

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. This is Clayton, 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 Clayton's journal is anyone's curious. Clayton was dragged to Norfinbury early in his canon, where he was dropped into the snowy wasteland of a town alone with only a backpack full of rations and a tablet to communicate with the other abductees. As one of the few doctors available and willing to help people, Clayton spent most of his two months there frantically attempting to reach the sick and injured and watching helplessly as people died around him in various horrifying and boggling ways before he was stolen away to Midnight.

Needless to say, Clayton has not been in good shape since then. I'll say he's been in this world for at least a year so he's had some time to recover. He intentionally carries the scars of his time in Norfinbury with him; the injuries he sustained remind him of the help he received from the friends he made there, so even though all of them are either disfiguring or permanently crippling, he hasn't wished them away. The sadder parts of Clayton's sentimental nature are repressed, much like his naturally manipulative brand of problem-solving, so he would have spent most of his time getting to know everyone here and being as saccharine as possible. Clayton is a natural people-pleaser and generally very level-headed, once he's learned to stop being such a worrywart. He's also a huge goddamn flirt, so. Ladies of Midnight, feel free to assume that he's tried that at least once. Or that he's gone a bit further. Or that he's gone a bit further and is actively cheating on someone else. Clayton's relationship management skills are not the best.

Clayton's impact on Midnight has likely been a primarily social one--he likes getting involved in discussions and checking in on people, gravitates towards solving interpersonal disputes (usually behind people's backs, which ought to make Murder Mystery nights particularly interesting), usually makes himself as supportive a shoulder to cry on as possible--but he does a lot of wandering around the place as a form of meditation and casual physical therapy. Despite having his powers taken from him on arrival to Norfinbury (astral projection), he has not wished for them back, has no desire to wish them back, and probably has not told anyone he has them unless they're openly telepathic or something. His apartment is kept very warm.

Slides over here with a proper plotting comment! We talked a little bit about their relationship (or "relationship" if you would) on plurk but HEY it never hurts to be thorough. And also now Rella is getting murdered so that's something to talk about probably.

WHILE I'M THINKING OF IT. If we potentially wanted to do some sort of world-hopping reunion between these two snowbunnies that could also be fun. But if you just want to stick to interacting with new/non-snowblind CR that's fine with me. She could just conveniently not bring up Gary so that doesn't get all weird.
