“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.” |

[He wants to talk about the strange thing that happened in the basement of Virgo, but decides against it. No one who wasn't there would believe it and he doesn't want Maxxie thinking he's a nut]
I'm just... feeling lost.

[He sighs, and there's a pause.]
It's like they're playin' games with us.
no subject
Yeah. I think they are.
Can I tell you something? And try not to think I'm crazy?
no subject
Of course I won't.

Our CEO's admin took us to our basement and had us play this weird song. And... Something weird happened. All these ghost lights appeared. And I was... I felt so cold, like, I couldn't help but be mean. Everyone was a little insane. I don't really remember much else about that night.
no subject
Are you sure you weren't high?
[He doesn't really want to believe in this shit. It's too much.]
Sorry, I'm just... there's so much weird shit going on.
no subject
[he pauses] I mean, I've never been high before, so maybe? Maybe it was just a mass hallucination or something. I don't know. They pumped the room with something.
[A moment while he's trying to convince himself of this, because that would be better.]
Maybe.

[He sighs.]
I'm sorry dude, sounds really shitty. And weird.

[He sighs]
I hate being cooped up. I can't even shoot some hoops without having to hold back. I hate having to hold back.

[He pauses, then chuckles softly]
Sorry, I called to check on you an ended up venting.
no subject
It's alright. It's nice to hear someone else's voice right now.
no subject
You're a good friend, you know that?
no subject
Nah, it's just what you gotta do, right? Do unto others and all that.
