Event Post: Senses Fail

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

Sorrow already let you guys know that it's just about time to move the city again, so we're sure you also know what that means. Who moves the city? Fear. What does he need in order to get that done? Yep, you got it. Fear. So it's time for you to feel just a bit - or maybe a lot - terrified. And Fear doesn't do things by halves.

He's changing the game a little this time, and taking something from you. Rather than an object, this is a part of you: a sense, and ability, a limb. Something you use every day, something that seems vital to you, and now it's gone. Will it come back? Probably, but... well, you can't be sure, and even if it does, you've still got to figure out how to live without it for awhile. Or maybe forever.

Vulnerability can be the most terrifying thing of all.

THE DETAILS

What will your character lose? Well, that's pretty much up to you, as long as it falls under the general idea of a sense, power, or ability. They could lose a sense, or part of one - going half-blind, being unable to taste. They could lose a power - their magic, their ability to stay in human form. Or they could lose an entire limb - an arm or a leg, or maybe just a finger. They could even have more than one thing taken from them, if you really want to be mean. One eye gone at the beginning of the event, and just as you're getting used to it, the other disappears? Yikes.

Fear won't take anything that will cause them to die instantly, however. No vital organs, no ability to breathe. He also won't take physical objects or memories. He's interested in causing fear, and dead people can't feel fear. Though, of course, he won't much care if you happen to, say, stumble into the river and drown because you suddenly can't see. That's really your fault, after all.

All missing things will be restored at the end of the event, and please remember that this event is optional - your character doesn't have to be affected if you don't want them to be. Have fun!

THE OVERVIEW

► May 14th: Your senses begin to fail
► May 20th: Luckily, they come back in the end

[handofsilver]

HONEY NO. D:

Everyone will just...sit on him! And cover him in a dog pile of hugs!

[castintofire]

:3

[castintofire]

Yes please pile onto him, he needs all the hugs and cuddles!

[handofsilver]

HE WILL GET THEM. ;;

[castintofire]

GOOD.

[so_dark_a_road]

We'll save you, Maedhros!!! Prepare to be deluged with loving relatives.

[castintofire]

Perfect!

Re: Maedhros

[castintofire]

Edit: Maedhros will still lose his sight and hearing, but he'll only have flashbacks to his time on Thangorodrim.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Welp Komaeda will certainly try to help out by giving advice which may or may not be helpful. Because once other people start losing body parts and senses and abilities he'll probably work out quickly that things are happening again and be all, "You can overcome this because your hope shines really brightly!" and all that jazz.

[ex_matricide319]

oooh yeah! we should do something then! i wonder if there's gonna be any kind of big clinic log? i'd imagine it would get swamped with desperate people during this event?

[ex_matricide319]

LOL yes, basically this, but with nausea/vomiting and instead of being cute it's a very angry teenage boy

[utulien_aure]

Still going to manage to break someone’s heart.

[puzzlingly]

aw, it will have to be another time then

for sure i can make that happen i guess! tho Atem really doesn't like Caedra at all for obvious reasons

[abyssalarcana]

If you think there's no good way to make it happen or that he'd just outright avoid her, that's fine too! I just saw your comments up above there and it sounded pretty funny. I don't blame him for hating her one bit and I definitely realize that even though they've never actually met or spoken it would probably be a very short thread if it happened at all!

[puzzlingly]

oh no, I think it'd be funny, but given the circumstances I think it won't be a merry thread, he'll probably just ruin whatever cr she has with Law if you're up to that

[abyssalarcana]

HMM if it's CR-ruining bad then we'd better not, it's still new and shiny and not ready to break just yet. Oh well! Another time.

[circumitus]

Well, I'm not sure if Rey would be leaving willingly or if she would even care at all, and it'd only be for the sake of trying to get her soul back, but idk if that's how it would even work so I'm gonna wait for that answer!

Edit AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ANSWER IS NAH ANYWAY so that plan won't even work anyway. Most eggselent.

[lovernotafighter]

Heeeey, if you need more people to attack, might I suggest this asshole right here?

Re: Magnus

[hellosirs]

would Magnus like to have someone following him around, trying to make sure that he doesn't set himself on fire or chop anything off by accident?

[evocation]

kyna will be pretending she doesn't care while obviously being SUPER FREAKED so rip they're both nerds

[sonofacesius]

mmmm I don't know?

[hot_mes]

Harlan

does Law have to stitch you up? like for real stitches because also losing power here

Seth Gecko | TQP CRAU

[darknstormy]

After coming from a realm where sound got people killed, and he had to remain silent for the sake of people he cared about, Seth is going to lose his voice. ...People in his world would pay good money for this. Enjoy!

Margo Hanson

[ibiza]

It seems appropriate that, after living in an almost completely silent world, Margo should lose her sense of hearing. It's going to drive her up a freaking wall. She wouldn't like losing any of her senses, tbh. It will cause all sorts of shenanigans within her household, too.
