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

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Adam will be losing the hearing in his right ear - which means, since he was already deaf in his left ear, he'll be completely deaf. This will be pretty upsetting, since the first time he lost half his hearing was due to a traumatic experience, and a part of him has always been afraid of losing more. He's also never bothered to learn sign language (even though that's pretty useful for half-deaf folks!!!) so he'll be frustrated and upset and trying to rely on basic lip-reading and communicating through his phone. It would be a good opportunity to help him chill out a little, or take advantage of the fact he's already upset to get on his nerves and make him lose his temper. Or learn about his past. Or all of the above!

Rhy will be losing his ability to speak, which is something he's always relied on as a very diplomatic and charming prince. While it will be frightening for him, he'll eventually view it more as a challenge than anything - how can he communicate without words? He's still not awesome at phone-typing and will likely forget it's an option until reminded. Prepare for a lot of physical contact and bright smiles in an attempt to get past the awkwardness. Help most certainly needed!
