“Like the legend of the Phoenix, All ends with beginnings, What keeps the planets spinning, The force from the beginning.” ☆COME TOO FAR On November 6th, the sudden lockdown of Pride Records and Virgo Entertainment finally ends. But not before some unseen actions have their consequences. Due to the nature of the conflict, none of you can be there to see it, but that doesn't mean it can't be felt. In the morning of the 6th, something cries out to you spiritually - like the voice of a guardian angel, or a haunting ghost. Something, somewhere, is calling on you for aid. Pleading for you to lend it your power. Whether or not you consciously agree, you'll feel a connection stronger than anything you've felt up till this point, like whatever this creature is is somehow in the room with you, or maybe like you're with it. What happens next depends on your alignment. ► LOVE & HOPE: All at once, characters with these alignments will feel as if they have taken a deep, spiritual blow - much like having someone clasp their hand around your "soul" and attempt to snuff it out. The attack itself will be brutal but brief. It's the after effects that linger, which may be any of the following: 1) Lingering spiritual pain that triggers symptoms akin to a fever in the body. It may also trigger effects such as nosebleeds and other signs of intense stress. 2) Forgetting everything except the memories you've regained. 3) A feeling of being desperately alone. How your character reacts to this feeling can vary, but the most common response will be seeking comfort from anyone nearby, even if you are not usually the sort of person to do that. These effects will last from anywhere as short at 15 minutes to as long as 5 hours. You can pick more than one of these effects for a character, but try to balance the potency of each if you take more than one, so you aren't completely kicking the shit out of them. Vestiges of these effects can linger throughout the rest of the day, but in a significantly reduced capacity. ► DUTY & PASSION: All at once, characters with these alignments will feel an intense sense of fear and grief, as if they have lost something extremely precious to them. Generally speaking, this will manifest as a sort of panic or desperation to save whatever that thing is - but not being entirely clear on where they have to go or what they have to do to accomplish it. This can very well trigger some brash and irrational actions as they sort out this abrupt feeling of urgency. 1) Soon after the feeling begins, affected characters will feel empathically drawn to the characters suffering from the effects listed for Hope & Love, even if they are not normally the sort to be so concerned for others. This can go as far as having them be aggressively protective to the point that they will conflict with each other over it. 2) Along with that feeling of being drawn to protect them, all characters will feel an intensified kinship with all the other player characters - from both labels. This feeling of kinship won't cause them to know anything more about each other than they did before, but it will cause them to feel like much closer friends than they actually are. These effects will last from anywhere as short at 15 minutes to as long as 5 hours. After that period has ended, all these empathetic effects will fade off on their own. Any network posts made in the chaos will be deleted by the execs after the 5 hours period has closed, if not sooner. By the end of the day, Lesedi Santiago and Edward Blanche will announce their return, and bans from leaving HQ will be lifted. They will not acknowledge the events of the morning unless someone goes to ask them about it. “We've come too far to give up who we are. So, let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars.” |

Nariko! Yo! Hold on a second!
no subject
Hey. [She tries to give him her best smile and it's almost convincing.] Are you okay?
[Everyone's been acting incredibly strange, and having the opportunity to see him with her own eyes is helpful. She had been worried but the sudden, hollowed out sensations kind of took precedent.]
no subject
I'm going to be fine. I don't know about everyone else though.
[It's really hard to blow it off and pretend like nothing happened in front of anyone right now.]
no subject
I'm not exactly in the best shape but, Yosuke, if you need anything you know you can ask, right? I'll make the time. [And somehow come up with the energy.]
no subject
[He stumbles on his words, rubbing a hand nervously on his head, his emotions and anxiety getting the better of him. Not knowing what was going on, and yet thinking more and more on how messed up everything is.]
no subject
[To not know what to say, and to be upset about everything and just, yeah. The whole thing. It feels a little wrong to swing a full on hug but she takes his arm and leads him into Pink.] Come on, let's see if they'll give us coffee in this joint. It might make us feel a little better!
[Though right about now not being alone would be enough of an improvement.]
no subject
[He stays a little close to her, not out of attraction but out of protection. From what, he doesn't know. Or who. His eyes dart back and forth around Pink, as if he's looking for something. Somehow, he knows this has something to do with what had happened this morning. It was creepy and weird and he felt weird.
It's easy enough to walk into Pink and approach the bar and ask if they have coffee. They get some weird looks, but they've got some, and hand over whatever they happen to order. Yosuke will cover for Nariko's drink, and orders a iced latte for himself. Something to clear his head.]
Whew...never thought I'd be walking into a bar ordering coffee.
no subject
Yosuke, I know this is sudden but could I ask you to do me a favor?
[Considering the details of it she doesn't think he'll say no, in fact there might not be a need for her to even ask but still. It's not the kind of thing that she doesn't want to cover her bases on.]
no subject
[As if it were even a question, he's got no problem helping Nariko out at all, especially now with what's happened recently. His own latte gets set down, so she could have his full attention.]
no subject
[So, for lack of a better way to put it? She's prioritizing. Sure, she can be concerned for everyone but the people she'll go to bat for and push for are obvious. But worrying Sora wouldn't do any good, and she doesn't want to jump down his throat either. If Yosuke could let her know if things got out of hand with her friend then she'd sleep a lot easier at night.]
no subject
Of course I will. Listen...we're gunna be fine. I know a lot of freaky shit's been happening to us lately, but I got a good feeling about this. I won't let anything happen to you, Sora, your band, my band, anyone. I promise.
[He tries to reassure. But he means every word he says.]
no subject
Just don't think you're alone in it. I'm going to help, too. [She reaches up to toy with her hair a little nervously.] ... I have no idea how! But I'll figure that out as we go along.
[Maybe it's enough to look out for everyone, and to try and keep smiling. It's not like her to be so depressing.]
no subject
[He'd been thinking about it. A little. Even more so ever since what happened this morning.]
You're right. I'm not alone. It might be a good idea to get a few people together, and try to figure out what's going on. That is, if we can really do anything about ghosts.
[He thinks back to the conversation he had with Jamie. Even as the words come out of his mouth, he kind of regrets it- that must sound a little insane.]
no subject
[We can save the world!
She recoils a little, and the hand that had been toying with her hair drops, she looks like she's just heard a ghost, and might throw up.]
no subject
You okay...? You look like you're gunna lose your lunch or something...
[Normally he wouldn't be as concerned as he is, but now, he worried something else insane might of just happened to her.]
no subject
It just happened again, that's all.
[But rather than feeling the joy that came with the first major vision now she just feels an incredibly horrible weight.]
You know, it's kind of like going through someone else's feelings. I really hope we're not all possessed.
[She's trying to joke, her little smile proves that! It just might not be a particularly funny joke, that's all.]
no subject
[He's not saying why, but by the look on his face, it's probably embarrassing.]
But, you know, at this point I'm not really ruling anything out.
