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

Philip will lose the loss of his voice.

Wait. What?

Roughly four years ago, when Philip was still residing in Wonderland, he made a deal that would bring him back to life in exchange for his voice and some other minor modificaions.

Philip has adjusted very well to this since, not least of all thanks to some neat-o telepathic abilities of his.

Come the event Philip will suddenly find his voice returned... and grow instantly anxious. His voice belongs to somebody else and he should not have it. It was payment for his life, so what does getting it back say about his survival?

The loss of his voice will be instant, but over the course of the event he will begin to feel faint and experience stabbing pains in all the places his fatal wounds used to be.

Towards the end of the event he will most likely be so afraid of dying permanently, he'll attempt to mutilate himself in order to lose his voice again. (Seeing as this would involve a certain amount of throat cutting I'm up for some medical help to stop him from dying a very ironic death.)

gosh this sounds such awesome mess that I do want in!

Edgar is not much for medical help (he's usually cause of death) but he does have experience with somewhat similar struggle (giving up something in exchange for his life, questions about life and death in other cases too etcetc). If anything he could be there to stop him mutilating himself.. or alternatively help him?
