okay here's how this will work! you can now fully communicate with those in the graveyard via the monitors in the bridge, though they will be glitchy
if you tag the top level, we'll hit you with a few minor illusions!
and you can play around with those
"PAY YOUR R" this is not ominous at all
the dead will be fully revived in a couple hours! they'll have some side effects, but otherwise they'll be able to participate fully
once that happens, we'll hit the full swing of illusions
you can do nightmare cradles OR you can be hit with more specific mod illusions, which will try to manipulate your character into destroying the ship or turning on everyone else!
we're talking like possession, hallucinations, etc
nightmare cradles will take place in a whole other psychic dimension, while mod illusions will still take place physically on the ship
let us know which you want! if you'd like to do a nightmare cradle, please top level with where your character currently is, as that room will be warped into a nightmare cradle
if you'd like to do a more specific mod illusion, you can either hit us up and we'll top level with what your character will see or start a new top level yourself we'll respond to
we're also happy to play along if you'd like your character to be given a specific illusion! we have illusions planned for most of the survivors BUT we are 100% happy to change them to what you want
it'stime
who wants to nightmare cradle with me
im still out so ping me if you want me!!!!
okay what if you're a weenie noodle who is just gonna go hide in a closet the moment you get the chance
the queen blasts rhys with illusions of being trapped in a janitor's closet
i come in to rhys being in a janitor's closet
ALSO REGARDING NIGHTMARE CRADLES
if you die in a nightmare you die irl
any injuries you sustain in a nightmare cradle will be very much real
cappy i just made the most delighted face
if you die in improv you die irl
dead people can also have nightmare cradles or be hit by illusions once they revive!
nvm adrien didnt take his ring and hes dying in a nightmare cradle FREE ME
would you leave your dead wife a widow, adrien
time to shove the furry away from danger
i'll kill everybody but adrien
it's just dorian and adrien friends to the end
he'll tell him awkward stories and then pat him on the shoulder
i cant believe i already agreed
to have him have his ring
the binary telling us to pay our rent lmfao
im not gonna pay last year's ren
too late. the queen's here to collect
okay but the queen should pay the rent instead
meanwhile i'm the unfun one who thought it was "pay your respects"
her kids lived for free in someone else's body?
are we taking the queen to small claims court
are we putting her on trial
yeah it sounds like they rented out some bodies pay up bitch
we're taking her to court
mods we're taking the alien queen to court
calm down miles edgeworth
you can definitely defeat an eldritch abomination with the power of basic logic
let's! hit! her! with! a! sword!
hit her with an axe shes pretty big
yeah! that was fucked up! let's please set her on fire
im taking her to court for animal abuse
anyway i'm going to say that in the span of the years he spent in that stupid illusion he invented a new form of magic in his head that will kill the alien queen
animal abuse, unpaid rent, child neglect, etc
come get attacked with me
its definitely pay your rents
you think those bodies are cheap wtf?
ok which one of you fucks do i have to thank for that
maggots and corpses and extreme paranoia, oh my
cappy i'm going to kill you i hate bugs so bad
trufact i literally just watched event horizon
so i could prepare for this event HAHA
... do i even want to know -- is event horizon a horror movie pfft
event horizon is a cult classic space horror movie where the ship comes alive and is a portal to hell and everyone has godawful hallucinations that drive them insane
( also... quick inquiry; who was grell asking that question to...? )
cult classic is as usual code for "fucking hilarious"
anyone! it was trying to test the comnunications
UM EVENT HORIZON IS GREAT AND VERY SCARY
do i need to spam pictures of the orgy video
TO BE FAIR i never actually ... get scared at horror movies...
hahaha yeah no it's not that scary, but it's definitely great when it comes to hallucinations on a ship and shit like that
does it matter or can it be anywhere?
oh, sorry, i didn't see your response siz!
you can use any room you'd like, but sensitive ones with lots of tech like the ai core would be cool, or you could use the viewport for ATMOSPHERE and the possibility of shooting everyone out the window
hmmmm i'll let someone else have AI core i'll do the biolab i think if that's ok!
and it works like...once they go into the room, they'll all be in his illusion, right?
yeah! the biolab is a great idea too!
just want to make sure i have it right!
also are we supposed to be waiting on another top level or are we supposed to be interacting with the deda?
question i didn't get to ask before i got slammed with windows updates - how long do the mini illusions last
no other top levels unless you want a mod illusion! you can start your own
and they'll last for only a few minutes!
wait i'm confused what you mean by that i'm sorry
i'm just not clear if we're waiting on something
did you mean 'don't start other top levels' or did you mean 'there are no other top levels to wait for'
there are no top levels to wait for! if you'd like to do a nightmare cradle or interact with the dead, feel free to start your own
we'll only be top leveling for people who ask us for specific illusions
how long is it gonna be after the bridge stuff for the dead to start coming back o:
like icly ofc!! clover should be able to figure out light's back via morphogenetic empathy link bs once the dead are back is why i ask i just wanna time that right!!!
ppprobably a couple of hours!
dreamwidth please load.
reiterating what i said in my plurk - i'm going to run this in a way where people can move in and out a bit so
if you have any interest in doing it feel free
dorian unnerfed has some pretty cool abilities that would be fun for a fight especially necromancy
also is anyone else going to run anything? i'm happy to jump into anyone else's if you need bodies
i'm still weighing the options of illusions or a nightmare tbh both seem so good
YOU CAN ALWAYS DO BOTH...
you can either reply to that if you'd be easier, or you can hit us up and we'll start a new top level for your character/tag their top level!
... I see Dorian had a nightmare thing going on, but there's three people in there, so, hrm ( I was thinking about it but the biolab is like downstairs right... and he's going to probably be heading up )
i have no idea what im doing but gotta try my best
i don't mind more than three! but do what you want!
yeah like general state right now is you guys have all the toys in the sandbox out now (deda are back, illusions are happening) and we're here to monitor so
and we definitely want people jumping in and out of other peoples illusions and absolutely feel free to comment to that top level and we'll get stuff out for you
and during mod run illusions absolutely have other guys jump in to try and break characters out
this is your big psychological fight against the Alien Queen so the goal is to break her influence over everyone!
i'm READY
and also feel free to jump in and out of nightmares and illusions as many as you'd like this is all a big mingle
time is an illusion and the alien queen has no need of it
simultaneous events can definitely happen
can we get all awful and abstract with nightmares c:
oh yeah uh my friend had a question: where exactly was the nuwa supposed to come into this again? is there a definitive schedule for that or a timeframe or something haha...
we're both a little lost and might have missed something, sorry...!
that stuff doesnt start til monday
this is just the battle to get to the nuwa, isn't it?
k cool i'll pass it on thanks!!
illusions and stuff are running through definitely the weekend and probably some of monday to wrap things up
like the point of this weekend is to break the alien queens MIND POWER hold over you, and monday will be getting the pygmalion back in shape to fly out of her eldritch sphere of influence and towards the nuwa
huh! i see
I have the absolute dumbest question possible: nightmare cradles can be set anywhere on the ship and take on any sort of imagery/illusion just like normal cradles and it's just a hellish vision right?
that's what i got from it yeah
yes! i think right now ive seen stuff being set up in the bio-lab and the view port
:C i just did a write up for a viewport, yeah.
awesome! since the queen's trapping people we can just take whatever room...
or I guess whatever qualifies as "important"? Im rereading the doc which I should have done in the first place my bad
yeah xander earlier basically said anywhere but places where there's shit to break is good
you can do anywhere really that you'd like but the idea of "important" is the alien queen wants to trap you in a room and break shit
someone should set up a nightmare in the airlock and break it and suck the whole ship out of it
lmk where you want your cradle ty and i'll choose the location for mine based on it
does anybody care if I take the weapons locker for a nightmare cradle?
or the engineering dock I actually can't decide in terms of shit to break
mira if you have an idea where you wanna go I am also flexible
i was gonna do the gaea room but idk if that counts as "breakable shit"
break the fuel reserve-- oh wait
yeah I think Im kinda hung up on what's breakable because initially I was going to stick him somewhere else
whispers set the archives on fire
you can always break it MORE
oh yeah actually the archives would be good
yeah honestly dont let that tie you down too much if its a problem and you have a cool idea for something else
mira take the gaea room because lady alice
i mean luke already set himself on fire
this is obviously what he was training for
sighs and throws him out the airlock
taking the engineering lab fwiw!
also if we're linking
here's luke's nightmare cradle if anybody wants to tap in, Im mostly on the fly with this though it will be fairly combat-heavy and monster-heavy
can i ask for mod illusion
yes of course sipp! do you want a top level?
can we do joint ones or no
what about double furries
two furries for the price of one
