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.

Bigby Wolf - AU

[ladysheriff]

Another grumpy bad influence appears! Fem!Bigby wolf from 'The Wolf Among Us' games by TellTale. In canon she's actually the Big Bad wolf in human form. A 'Fable' stuck in 80's era New York city. She's the local detective, wrangling of badly behaved fables. Generally gets 0 respect from the public or outright dismissal because she is the big bad wolf. She worked closely with a male version of Snow White. AU pretty much consists of just swapping Bigby and Snow's genders and leaving the rest of canon alone.

She's been in Aria since the start and genuinely is kind of used to the low paced life style going on. Genuinely relieved that she isn't being shit on constantly for helping people. Whilst she missed the other Fable's she gets on well enough with the other residents. Very likely to be relieved she isn't the only quick on the draw person around.

[hoonter]

Don't mind her, just a suspicious bird lady taking notes every time Bigby's wolf form comes out.

After four years together they're probably on somewhat uneasy ground. Able to talk to each other like adults when Bigby is in her human form, although Eileen will actually stab her if she catches Bigby in wolf form. Nothing personal, it's just that the number of people she's seen devoured by wolf monsters is almost certainly in the hundreds and she isn't going to risk anything like that happening in Aria as long as she's still breathing.

That being said, that's a discussion they've probably had in depth, though. So like I said, uneasy (but somewhat friendly) ground.

[ladysheriff]

They'll never be best friends, but they can definitely hold a conversation. Bigby probably vaguely likes Eileen- calls her 'old timer' fondly when she's sure Eileen isn't going to stab her. Bigby's probably swapped monster murderin' stories and shared an uneasy drink with her.

Bigby takes the stabbing in stride, generally tries not to get into too bad of a brawl. She's another weird immortal bullshit monster (As long as people believe in the story of Big Bad wolf she exists kind of things). Its an uneasy level of respect.

[hoonter]

Yeah, Eileen doesn't overtly dislike Bigby. Her willingness to kill someone and how much she likes them have no correlation at all - she just doesn't trust the self-control of a wolf-monster, is all. Call her old-fashioned, if that's what it makes her. The fact that Bigby also kills other monsters definitely endears her to the sheriff, while simultaneously making her more dangerous in Eileen's eyes.


Of course, it's becoming increasingly obvious that Eileen couldn't actually win a fight with Wolf!Bigby so there's that.

[ladysheriff]

Its an adventure both warily going 'SUP' and dealing. Bigby at least has learned to take stabbing in stride. Jokes about it casually after a certain point. Bigby has very little people skills, so she'll take what weird friendships she has.

Bigby at least never mentions that, fft. Just lets Eileen have her pride.

[circumsutus]

Somehow they wind up taking smoke breaks at the same time. Even though they're their own bosses and don't need to smoke break.

[ladysheriff]

Neither know how it keeps happening, yet it does! Both probably are content in the silence, occasionally make small talk about neighbors.
