hadriel_ooc | Event Post: Senses Fail

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

Kate is losing her sight, both the natural kind and her power. She'll probably spend most of this event at the clinic incredibly jumpy and... well, unfortunately for anyone who comes by, she also has Fear's blessing which means she might accidentally trigger it in response to being caught off guard. You know, these things happen. (:

I want to keep this kind of low-key, however, so I'd like to limit that to a couple of threads.

Lastly... When she gets her sight back, she's gonna make a little, tiny, totally inconsequential discovery of the location of The Door. Again, these things happen. (:

Serah, on the other hand, is getting off scot free and will be available to help anyone who is terrified by their losses and those who aren't she'll be happy to sit and chat and try to unwind with.

As ever, I'm at

forethought if you want to hit me up there.

UHHH LOCATION OF THE DOOR U SAY

BIG EYES EMOJI

I DO SAY

Now is just the question of what she does with this knowledge. :)

alphys, who's been trying to find the door for like, a year, screaming in the bg

Alphyyyys you wanna be walking by the place when she finds it? (:

G OD THAT'D BE INCREDIBLE

im laughing my ass off bc alphys is essentially losing her emotions for this event and im almost sad bc i cant have her losing her absolute garbage mind

she'll just get out of this event, get every feeling back at once, and text kate at like 2 am a very panicked "WHAT THE FUCK"

Dude no you totally can. She won't be finding it until after the event ends. But like *directly* after as in she walks out of the clinic with her eyes back and goes and finds it, it'll be magnificent.

oh my god yes pls, if im allowed in on this, absoLUTELY, she's going to die, like, right here

do you have a toplevel you wanna nest it under or like under a separate log?

yeeee definitely come to me! I'm gonna post my top levels tonight and i'll write a closed starter for you :3

o7 thanks bb! lmk :V

ditto THE DOOR YOU SAY

although Law is also up for trying to diagnose and compensate without his power.

YESSSS I'm hype that the mods are letting me do this. :D

and yes! I was actually gonna suggest that on your plotting post too. Does he want to be scared? :D
