MAY EVENT

MAY EVENT SUMMARY


YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE

All may seem quiet for a little while… but closer to the 12th, characters may notice snakes trying to get their attention in their day-to-day lives.

Break the sssystem.

Break the sssystem. The Garden awaitsss.

What do these snakes want? Why, they want characters to commit crimes – they can’t stop all of them, they say. If they overload the system with crimes, then surely it’ll break. Come to the Garden, they say. They’ll see everything and more. Steal, cheat, maim, kill. That’s just examples of the things they’ll tell the Chosen to do. But they must do these things to other Chosen– the locals don’t count. Once they commit these crimes, they get marked on the back of their hand. It’s a tattoo of a snake, of course.

Some snakes even give a target with a specific crime for them for an even bigger reward. This is an RNG portion of the event! There’s a TL DOWN HERE if you’d like to sign up! They may range from something silly to something serious, so please keep it in mind when signing up. These sign-ups will only last until the fifth, so we can RNG, give assignments, and give everyone a chance to plot.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Outside of Aldrip and deeper into the woods where very few go, there seems to be a very tall fence surrounding… something. Those that can fly can’t see inside. Those that can climb can’t climb over it. It’s almost as if something is obscuring it. Not an outright barrier, but there’s nothing to be made out if looking in from above. There’s just shapes. Those that try to force entry will get bitten by a snake and get very ill, and it’s up to the player on how ill they would get. There’s even a chance for character death here, as well, if they so desire. Chosen with their snake escorts with the tattoos on the back of their hands will find that the gates open for them easily, and they can step in. It smells cool and fresh when they get inside, and it really does look like paradise.

At least, for a moment.

Only a few minutes into characters being in the garden characters start to hallucinate bad endings. What’s the worst case scenario that could happen in their world? What’s their most feared outcome of what would happen here? Well, they’re seeing it. Visions of anything and everything that can go wrong will dominate their vision, as well as destruction of what appears to be other cycles. Will that happen to this cycle, at some point?

The snake escorts follow, still hissing into the Chosen’s ears.

Thisss is what happensss when the entity winsss. Destruction…

There is no good end for you, so long as the entity is “alive”.

THOSE NOT ENSNARED

The Chosen that don’t buy into the snake’s promises will be able to kill them in a traditional way. They’re just snakes, after all. Snakes can only tempt, but until the tattoo appears on the back of their hand, they still have the ability to “opt-out”. These Chosen may try to snap their fellows out of it, but once they get their tattoos, it’s really hard to convince them not to go into the Garden. In fact, in most cases, it’s downright impossible. Chosen attempted to be drawn away from the snakes may start screaming as if they’re in physical pain, or get combative. They really must get to the Garden, you see.

Oh, if only there was a McGuffin……..

NOTES:

We’re going to extend this event icly to ten days. So instead of a wrap-up in the event log, the poll result post will stand in place of that.

ROGUE / X-MEN '97

[southernchere]

Character: rogue (anna marie)
Canon: x-men '97
Canon Point: S1, E10

Crime: failure to save her people from genocide.

Background:

once upon a time there a southern girl who lived kinda normally until she kissed a boy and he fell into a coma. her father disowned her and she ran away from home and stumbled upon another woman who took her in. little did she knew, that woman was evil and made her be a villain and used her powers to do villain-y things. eventually, she ran away from THAT family and came across another person who took her in. then she became a hero (X-MEN). there are other things but her history/background is too long, but that's the gist of it. it's x-men. i'm sure everyone has heard of it! if not, then bb, i'm sorry.

Abilities:

copy & pasting time:

⨂ POWER DRAIN — Rogue's mutant ability often requires skin-to-skin contact to absorb memories, powers, personality traits, physical talents, and strength. For most of her heroic career, Rogue is unable to control her power, and anyone she touches will almost immediately fall unconscious.

⨂ FLIGHT — Besides Storm and Jean Grey, she is another mutant in the X-Men who has the ability of flight. It is said she is one of the most top ten fastest X-Men in the series as a whole, by having supersonic speed and top limit of around 700 miles per hour.

⨂ INHUMAN STRENGTH — Rogue often referred to be the "tank" of the X-Men team. She lifts cars, heavy objects, and punch through buildings without breaking a sweat.

Plans:

GENERAL THINGS —

▶ rogue's been helping with cleaning up the city, so the locals will be nice regarding her, and will continue to lend anyone a hand if need be.

▶ she is also going to introduce her therapy business finally once i get my ass into gear about it. i'll make a network post (hopefully) about her showing it off and info people to come on down to let out their feelings/troubles and take up some healthy habits instead of being so destructive, you heathens.

▶ she also works for silco @ the flower shop if you want to pick up some pretty flowers!

---

YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE —

▶ as much as she wants to get out and still feels breaking the simulation is something they all should do, she isn't going to commit crimes to do it. she's going to feel there's some sort of catch to that, or something horrible will go wrong if they do. rogue isn't going to fall into temptations like that.

---

THE GARDEN OF EDEN —

▶ rogue is going to get bitten by a snake and fall ill! it's going to start slow at first, but as the days go by, she will gradually get worse and get weaker. she won't be able to fight, won't be able fly, have faint spells on and off, and have a lot of body aches, on and off fevers, chills, etc. she won't die but she'll probably wishes.

---

How can you run into my character?

● flying around
● jogging
● @ the flower shop
● @ the x-mansion
● just around town.

[digthefuzz]

[southernchere]

[digthefuzz]

Damn Sis, as if you didn't already have enough of a reason to keep others away... But it's fine! He's here for you no matter what!

JINX / ARCANE

[opheliac]

Character: jinx
Canon: arcane
Canon Point: S2, mid-E9

Crime: murder & illegal trading (but i'm going to change this to something else soon)

Background:

we love copy & pasting in this household:

Criminally insane, Jinx has a love for wanton chaos, destruction, and anarchy, and gets easily bored if these reckless urges are left unsatisfied for too long. Jinx isn't shown to think much about the consequences of her behavior and generally acts before thinking, which can lead to people getting hurt easily when around Jinx. While she is clearly a gifted inventor, Jinx is also extremely scatterbrained, forgetting scientific terms and instead imitating gun noises while she constructs her weapons.

Jinx is often portrayed to be hyperactive and very childish, complaining when she doesn't get what she wants and calling others by immature names, giving Vi nicknames such as "Fat-Hands" and "Stupid". With her carefree, self-centered attitude, Jinx doesn't care about money, order, or what others think about her and just destroys what she wants when she wants. Despite this, she still likes to get recognition for her many crimes and is capable of showing off to the Piltover police, knowing that no matter what goes down, she will always get away.

Despite her immature and silly demeanor, Jinx is still a significant force of evil and malice, even if in her crazed mind she sees it as a game. She would put on a veneer of a bubbly and energetic person, only to hide the hurt and trauma of past events. She's also very sarcastic, extroverted with a twisted sense of humor.

Abilities:

INHUMAN SPEED
— she has the ability to zip by faster than a normal human. it's almost like she is teleporting.

INHUMAN LEAPING
— she has the ability to jump higher than a normal human/ good at parkouring. also almost like she is teleporting.

Mental Illnesses:

SCHIZOPHRENIA
— a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which causes significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends.

PTSD
— Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.

SEPARATION ANXIETY
— Anxiety Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is a type of mental health problem. A child with SAD worries a lot about being apart from family members or other close people. The child has a fear of being lost from their family or of something bad occurring to a family member if he or she is not with the person.

HALLUCINATION
— a sensory perception (such as a visual image or a sound) that occurs in the absence of an actual external stimulus and usually arises from neurological disturbance.

DISSOCIATION
— is a mental process where a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, depersonalisation disorder and dissociative identity disorder. People who experience a traumatic event will often have some degree of dissociation during the event itself or in the following hours, days or weeks. For example, the event seems ‘unreal’ or the person feels detached from what’s going on around them as if watching the events on television. In most cases, the dissociation resolves without the need for treatment.

IF YOU WISH TO OPT-OUT ON ANYTHING REGARADING THIS CHARACTER, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT HERE.

Plans:

GENERAL THINGS —

THIS IS IMPORTANT (TO ME), JINX'S APPEARANCE HAS CHANGED!!


▶ jinx no longer has her signature braids, thus gradually transforming to her end of S2 look. further down the line, she will do that buzz cut hairstyle but definitely not right now. she is just going to dig with this look for a nice long bit. but i'm still going to mention in tags that she has short hair, because well, i don't have any icons with her in this hairstyle and i dont know, in case people forget. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

▶ jinx lost a bet with dazai and she is his servant for the whole month. there will be a network post regarding that, and there will be insane shenanigans happening that comes along with it. (like gilgamesh buying jinx off of dazai so she can serve him).

▶ jinx is also going to prank chuuya upon request, so that'll be fun!

▶ jinx has CR WITH ELLIE so the snake people won't like her. but then again, jinx is like one of the biggest headaches for aldrip, rumpitur, and ketsora so.... most will dislike her anyway.

▶ she is going to have a sister date with vi @ the beach, cute things.

▶ there's talk of a festival i've seen circling around plurk??? she'll be going to that.

▶ jinx also has a NPC gang called JINXERS. they're neat.

▶ she is also going to be worrying about silco because his wish thing is making his skin turn black. and she may ask around if people are experiencing the same thing.

---

YOU’RE A SNAKE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE —

▶ snakes whispering for her to do crime? someone who used to be a master criminal??? why, OF COURSE she is going to beckon the call. the temptation is just far too great. i almost put her in the RNG thing, but then i got nervous LOL. i don't want her to kill any important CR or anything, so i felt just free balling her doing crimes towards others will be safer. now the people i do want jinx to mess with are:

— caitlyn
— viktor
— gilgamesh
— dazai
— kuwabara

if you want jinx to vandalize your stuff, prank you, steal from you, booby trap you, hit me up definitely! or if you don't want jinx to mess with you, also let me know.

How can you run into my character?

● jogging
● @ the club building
● @ the game parade
● @ the last drop
● @ the lupin bar
● @ the church (ragna's)
● @ the purrfect cup
● @ the flower shop
● @ the seafood shack
● @ the sandwich hut

basically, she is everywhere and anywhere. she stalks people.

[machizumo]

Oh my god, you suggest that maybe a kid shouldn't have a gun and this is somehow where you end up!!

aka, yes please pick on him a lil bit.

[opheliac]

Messing and pranking with people like him is her favorite pastime. they are easily triggered if you do it right.

[machizumo]

He is, unfortunately (mostly for him), very easy to rile up. UnU

But yes, uh... Feel free to drop him in a pitfall, string him up, call him names, etc. He'll flail and fume about it. What a boob.

[opheliac]

Haha boobies.
