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.

Lewis Marx | OC

[cyclopean]

Lewis is a twelve-year-old boy with big dreams and a big heart...but with anxiety enough to dwarf both of these things. He’s a cowardly mess, to put it bluntly. He has deep senses of morality, justice, and compassion, but shies away from confrontation and any type of adversary. This is quite the conundrum, considering he’s a superhero. Okay, no, he’s the would-be sidekick of a superhero--his idol--who discovered him after an attempt at a good deed gone awry backfired and he wound up obliterating his left eye.

So what’s a sidekick-in-training got going for him when he’s still afraid of the dark? Lewis’ powers are tricky. One part kind of useless (mostly because he doesn’t know how they work or how to adequately control them), one part decently cool. He has the ability of mimicry--he can temporarily emulate any skill or power he sees. This is typically a one-use kind of deal. The accident in question happened with a bottle rocket to the face after he witnessed a pair of twins playing around with their ability to transport objects from one place to the other. The rocket was on its way toward an unsuspecting little girl, and Lewis thought he might be able to move it away from her--not anticipating that by the nature of the twins’ powers it would just go from where it was to, well, him.

Despite this, and despite his constant fretting (and quiet pessimism at times), Lewis is a friendly and affectionate youngster. He’d try harder to socialize, but he’s so afraid of putting his foot in his mouth. Or doing something embarrassing. In general, he’s horribly unlucky, which discourages him from embracing any sense of adventure he wishes he had. He also has a terribly habit of mumbling.

It hasn’t been long since Lewis arrived at the Sunset Circles. Just a couple weeks! He feels like it’s only been a day, he’s so shy and nervous, he hardly knows what to do with himself. Not really related, but just a note, I only have one icon for him right now, but this will be remedied before the start of the event.

So the weirdo who perches on the highest places he can find is a coward in every regard except when it comes to heights; he would probably take pity on the kid, for he knows how being a cowardly mess goes. He'd also think Lewis was mistaken in some regards, because the dark is the absolute safest place, for that's when they can't see you.

[cyclopean]

Perfect. Cowardly messes are the least? most? best? cowardly when they're in it together. Jules should totally try to explain the logic of the darkness being safer because Lewis would definitely not understand but he'd be incredibly amazed by the concept. And kind of scared, still. And just all around shocked that anybody is even talking to him.

[failgoyle]

Haha, yes. Joint noping on out of situations! To be fair, Jules's idea of the dark being safer has a lot to do with the fact that he's secretly a very gargoylish sort of creature of darkness himself, so...

...fun times standing in front of those mirrors that show your true selves, let me tell you.

[cyclopean]

That is a very, very point indeed. Shhh don't tell him don't break the magic.

[ecks]

So I'm going to assume Ecks freaks Lewis out all the damned time with her unreadable face and her lack of any ability to reassure him. She probably has no idea why he's always so jumpy around her. Must be his default state of being.

[cyclopean]

Yes lmfao this is exactly 100% what would happen. Is she mad at him all the time??? He just doesn't know but he's going to assume that's definitely the case.

And it kind of is just his default state of being, too.
