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

Just imagine me hopping up and down in the background waving my hand all 'Pick me! Pick me!!!!!' haha. Nico's whole power set is based on him being a son of Hades so he dealt with dead people all the time back home but he hasn't been able to do much with that here because people get resurrected instead of staying dead dead lol. Nico would absolutely be able to talk and chat with Spirit Atem and even interact with him like a normal person. He's grabbed ghosts and physically dragged them away in canon before, hahaha.

And feel free to have Atem do ghosty things around Mokuba, he wouldn't be able to see him but I am all up for Mokuba getting freaked out a bit until he puts together what's going on haha.

Aw! Yes, this is excellent! That touching part in particular is so very important! It'd be the thing that would scare Atem the most, being unable to touch people again would be terrifying. So, yes Nico, please talk to him because this will be bad ;;

Poor Mokuba tho, he and his bro are so getting haunted, I'm guessing he will find a way to communicate to them at some point, because apparently his bro is gonna be all grumpy Atem left him again!


ahhh so excited about this!
