“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.” |

[This was literally the kind of setting that fit some psychological thriller film student project or whatever.]

[Maxxie looks at her like that has to be it. This can't just be some convenient mass hallucination that no one's responsible for. He's tired of being confused and overwhelmed and scared.]
no subject
[Because it does make sense that it would be more, and the look she gives Maxxie says as much - that she agrees with him. But if it isn't just an incredibly strange anomaly then that's even more bone chilling. Why them? Why now? A lot of questions they could never hope to answer would pop up and it might only drive them even crazier.]
no subject
I dunno. I think it'd be better if we had an explanation, at least.
[But he sounds like he's alright dropping the topic, for now.]
no subject
Do you have any ideas, though? I mean, it'd have to be something that we were all exposed to.
[If Maxxie needs to talk then she can listen. She hadn't been entirely closed off to the idea in the first place so it's not as if she's really pushing at her own mental sanity or anything.]
no subject
[He shrugs, as if the topic is too heavy for him.]
I'm sorry I brought it up. I don't know what's happening. I just wish I did so I knew it wasn't as bad as all that, you know?
no subject
[Which - that's only when your brain is basically frying itself, right? So even as an explanation it's hardly pleasant.] I think no matter what we do, though, it's not going to be anything but bad.
[But that's incredibly depressing sooo] What's important right now is that we look out for each other. If something escalates beyond the point of reasonability then we just have to be ready to act.
