Event: Lavender's Green; Part One

[snowblindmods]

LAVENDER'S GREEN

At some point before day 192 dawns, you fall asleep. It doesn't matter if you're struck by mania or simply trying to stay up all night, unconsciousness finds you. You don't dream, but a song (warning: actual audio) drifts in and wakes you up. Once you're awake, it's completely silent. You are alone in a building you have never seen before. The walls, the floor, the ceiling, all are perfectly white, perfectly blank. It's dizzying and difficult to focus here, in this place where everything blurs into a featureless infinity. Those who, in the previous event, had prophet or glowing eyes but lost them have had them returned now. Those who weren't there will be given them fresh--you can pick either, but those who are more spiritual will tend toward prophet eyes, while those who are more skeptical in nature tend toward glowing eyes. Prophet eyes or glowing eyes, there is a fear that crawls in your belly and claws at your throat. You are trapped here in this room all morning. But you're not without a means to communicate. The only thing you have with you is your tablet. Most of the applications don't work, nor do PMs, but the network is functional. Maybe everyone else knows what's going on. Maybe they have an explanation for the footsteps that wander just outside of your room, for the terrifying pounding on the walls of your enclosure like something is trying to break in, for the growing certainty that this is the safest you'll feel until this is all over. lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green when you are king, dilly dilly, I shall be queen

QUESTIONS

You say most applications don't work, but

does that include the blingee app

[snowblindmods]

It does include the blingee app. Angel will have to use plain text, sadly.

1. Do the walls and floor feel like anything? Soft? Like dry wall? Like metal? Do they taste like anything for the weirdo scientist who will taste vomit and other questionable things?

2. How big is the room approximately? If someone were to walk it and try to figure it out. Or does it keep varying? If someone were to throw their tablet up at the ceiling, would they be able to approximate its height?

3. Does pounding back get any result? Screaming?

[devoutish]

1. Do they have any of their supplies?

2. What is the temperature like?

Re: QUESTIONS

[0thingsonmymind]

does the room look normal when on video? and does the pounding come across normally?

[phaseshifter]

slightly more sensible questions now

Does any attempt to communicate with whatever's pounding/whoever's walking outside get any response? Not so much yelling for help as, say, banging on the wall in a rhythm to see if the pounding echoes it? Singing the song?

Also does Dumpy count as a possession and get left behind, or is he with Rhys. The most important question of all

[escutcheon]

Can the walls or floor be marked in any way? (I.e. scratches, dents, smearing with blood?) If so, will the marks left behind stay put, or will they fade/vanish/deteriorate/etc?

[swatsflies]

Is this the same room Zell saw back on Day 100?

Sorry, thought up of another question while tagging.
What would happen if someone knocked in morse code in response to the knocking?

Re: QUESTIONS

SAME QUESTION AS LAST TIME but can characters like lutha and clint hear the noises in this room as though they were not deaf, or will they have their normal hearing loss?

Re: QUESTIONS

[ninjainviolet]

What if you sang the song and you had normal glowing eyes?

[heroproceeding]

Probably silly to poke at, but from an IC level, Zack's dealt with virtual reality training systems before and he's gonna try to loosen himself up enough to attempt to possibly remove headwear from his head on the outside. You know. If that's even a thing/a thing he could feel out. Does it do a thing? Does it do jackshit and he looks like a dweeb trying to take something invisible off his head in the little room he's hanging out in?

Re: QUESTIONS

[silverfuller]

Does Haurchefant's armor count as a possession for this? If not, if he starts banging on walls with his gauntlets does anything respond?

Joker will sing along to the song, too, in case that does anything.

[definingfuture]

If Tony were to bite his finger and try to draw on the white walls, would anything stick? Would there be any physical change or would they just remain white?

Seconding the question below this, and also wondering if writing code commands would get any kind of result? Just to see if the environment recognized that type of command, even if it doesn't change anything. An example being Tony writing a basic command in different languages to create a door. Would there be any sign that something read that language?

[exequies]

Probably a silly question but just in case... if a character has glowing eyes but draws a prophet eye (or more) in blood on the white walls would anything change?

Re: QUESTIONS

[advanced]

If characters specifically try and bang to one another in a recognisable pattern (as in this thread) might they hear one another?

[thewarningafter]

So in Stephen's app I mentioned him being able to make dumb little sparks in the air when he makes a really earnest attempt at drawing on his powers. Now seems like a good time -- if Stephen makes sparks, will the thing banging on the walls react in any way? If he takes video of himself doing it, is there any distortion or noticeable effect?

[coyoteking]

Are private filters disabled?

[theurgy]

So, Cassel has glowing eyes and he drew the Andromeda constellation on the wall in blood here, and he's trying to talk to Andromeda. Andersen, who has Prophet eyes, is drawing the Prophet symbol and trying the same thing. Will anything happen?

Re: QUESTIONS

[harlequinofhate]

Watson raises the question of gas-induced hallucinations!

Joker here is a genius level chemist and has worked with gas-based weapons many times. IS there anything in the air he can see or smell that might suggest gas?

[harlequinofhate]

Separate question from the above:

Will these Network conversations be visible after the event?

[haillenarte]

uh wait
idk if this was asked anywhere but do the prophet/glowing eyes affect their behavior during this event?

[swatsflies]

I'm back with another question.

Can they access their saved files on their tablets? Such as videos or pictures?

[snowblindmods]

Yes.
