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

Anakin is going to lose his connection to the Force. He is going to feel exceptionally vulnerable and just lost. Expect clumsy rage/panic. For him, this will be like suddenly being blind and deaf.

Sansa (stonebird) will literally be blind. I'm guessing she won't be doing much sewing or...walking. She will be extremely embarrassed if she takes a tumble! A lady would never...

Celebrimbor (handofsilver) is going to be deaf. Get his attention gently or there might be a blade in your face. Sorry about that in advance. He doesn't mean it.

Curufin's going to tag them all. Mwa ha ha!

[prophesiedone]

Yeeeessss :D I also have a lot of tags I owe you that will be done this weekend.

[so_dark_a_road]

Oh thank you!

[prophesiedone]

You write so beautifully that I don't wanna mess them up when I'm tired out from therapy. ;;

[so_dark_a_road]

You are a sweetheart, Riddle. XD And you write beautifully too.

NOW SIS.

I think Jon is just going to tie a ribbon to her and Margaery and lead them around, if that sounds all right.

[stonebird]

Since it's him and she is getting closer to Margaery (her favorite gossip buddy), she'll be fine with that. ♥

[hasitsthorns]

Oh, no. Sansa being blind and Rosie being mute just gave me like the cutest mental image of her trying to help but having to be as loud and obnoxious as possible laughs

[stonebird]

Oh noooo that's so sad and cute. o___o
