Event: Metamorphosis, Part One

Metamorphosis

On morning 412, if they slept, those whose tablets were infected don't wake up. If they weren't sleeping, they pass out much like they did not so long ago. Again they're comatose. If anyone not infected draws near them, there's an unsettling, machine-like droning noise. It's not coming from them, exactly, but proximity to those who are comatose makes it louder. Other than that, it's eerily quiet. The infected, meanwhile--well, maybe they dream: They wake up--not really, but to them it seems like it--in a white room. To those who have seen it, it's identical to the ones that they have been taken to before, now and again, so perhaps they're there? The other infected are there, too. All of your things are gone, and none of you feel well. There's something in your body. You can feel it, and it hurts. Maybe you can see it moving around under your skin--not everyone can see such a dramatic display, but some can. You're nauseous. Maybe you throw up, but it doesn't make things any better. Maybe you cough up blood. Your muscles are unreliable, and you're as likely to fall down as you are to have your muscles lock you in a rigid pose. Your mind works, though. You're perfectly capable of realizing something is horribly, terribly wrong. (Later, you'll forget all this.) If you play an infected character, please reply to this post with an element. Something like the classical elements, that is. If it's something that you could imagine as a Pokemon type, then you're free to select it. (Well, not fairy, bug, and dragon. Those are creatures, gosh Game Freak.) Select an element for each of your infected characters.

QUESTIONS

[snowblindmods]

[phaseshifter]

Are fictional elements allowed, because uh

[snowblindmods]

Why not? If anyone else wants to use a fictional element, make sure to provide a link to/a description of the element's properties/how it looks/what it does/etc.

[termineur]

Do characters have their backpacks and/or items with them?

[snowblindmods]

No.

cw body horror descriptions

[zunesareawesome]

Does it feel like something's moving through their bodies? And what shape does it take when they look at their skin, is it something poking out of them all lumpy-like or is it like, worms?

[snowblindmods]

It only feels like something moving through their bodies if you as a player want that. You may not feel/see anything at all! How it looks is also up to you.

[rubikscomplex]

To bounce off of this. Does that mean that if House were looking at Peter, he might see something different than what Peter is seeing, in terms of the poking out of the body business? Or is this just something that needs to be mutually agreed upon by the muns.

[warriorscribe]

If a character has actually had a thing invade their bodies in canon can whatever this is mimic that?

[snowblindmods]

Sure, as long as the symptoms are physical and possible within Norfinbury (he can't start spewing magical ectoplasm or anything like that).

[warriorscribe]

Yep, it'd fit! You guys are the best <3

Re: QUESTIONS

[clowngirl]

Does "Chaos" count as an element?

[snowblindmods]

Sure!

Re: QUESTIONS

[bookofnope]

Possibly pushing it but is faith an element? How about death?

[snowblindmods]

Death works.

[rubikscomplex]

Is there going to be any change if awake characters examine those who are in comas with the Eye App or Ocean Eye App? Or try to film them regularly?

Because everyone likes bad ideas, would carving an extra prophet eye into a comatose person have any effect on them in the dream world? Or would they just have a new scar and someone to smack when they (hopefully) wake up?

Assuming "no response," but would the Admin respond to an awake person telling her the people are comatose?

[snowblindmods]

There are no differences compared to before. Carving the comatose characters like a weirdo doesn't have an effect on them in the dream world. @ADMIN will respond saying they're monitoring the situation.

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

It's not his fault that House would want to try another carving.

Re: QUESTIONS

[deus_ex_phs]

If your character is perceiving something about themselves (blood, things crawling under skin, etc.) can other characters in the white room also see that?

[snowblindmods]

Yes.

[thewarningafter]

Is it warm in the white room?

[snowblindmods]

It's room temperature.

[warriorscribe]

I have another question - are items worn as clothing (such as blankets worn as belts/scarves) on them, or would they have to be intended as an article of clothing to stay?

Or are their clothes replaced entirely as well?

[fifty]

They have their basic outfit, but not all the layers they've added on top since then.
