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.

Ironically, I'm bringing a deaf girl to the musical world but she makes do.

Meulin is a troll from Beforus, which means that she, unlike the trolls from Alternia, had a life that was pretty cushy. There was that one incident where her matesprit deafened her and another where a member of their group blew them all up, but all in all, not nearly as awful a life as her Alternian counterpart. Mostly. At least as far as she's really aware.

She's bubbly and easily excited, very much an explorer of the world and takes the caverns quite easily. She's nocturnal so she only ventures above ground at night, but in the caverns that's easy to ignore.

Meulin's been here for about a year and is comfortably settled in. Her text would be familiar on the bulletin board, a bright green, along with cat faces and occasional shipping notes. She dabbles in matchmaking, often writing a story or two about you all. It's a bad habit. As is her habit of avoidance. Really, she's been a little stuck in her ways and it's nice to have some place solid and new to stretch her legs and force her to change. It's still a bubble but one entirely new and with strange places to explore.

ETA: She can read lips and use sign language, though it's not clear how much this would have in common with ASL, considering it was made up between her and her ex-matesprit. Also she's prone to adding hashtags to her bulletin board posts. She misses computers.

Rin's gonna be from Whillowhispers, but once the event starts I'd love to have these two bump into each other, if you're cool with that?

In her canon, Rin is from a school for disabled students (she herself is a double amputee, lacking both arms) so she probably has at least a vague understanding of Japanese Sign Language, even if she's not quite fluent at it. So if you'd like we could handwave that she's able to vaguely sort of understand Meulin in person?

Also, because she's from a certain canon point in Ryslig, Rin will appear as a smol green goblin. So the fact that they're nonhumans could be a bonding point too? Idk it's just an idea

I'd be fine with that! Though Meulin might be more tempted to speak aloud. It'd just be much louder than a normal speaking voice.

Either way I'd be happy for these two to bump into each other! Meulin would be happy to meet another person who is visibly nonhuman. For all the variety in Everfrost, it does end up being mostly humanish types. Especially to someone who isn't very skilled at differentiating.

So yes, Meu would love to meet her!
