Event: Lurking Superposition

LURKING SUPERPOSITION

On the night of day 108, or perhaps very early on the morning of day 109, you dream. You dream of being swallowed up by the ocean, of the dark abyss of the trenches, of the countless tons of water above your head that drown out the light. It is dark and cold and beneath, just beneath, Something waits for you. It lingers during the day. It's so easy to get distracted, to drift off into your thoughts, and always the water and the Thing wait for you. But when you're not thinking about It, you're thinking about other things: about things which never were, but could have been. Walk past a building and for an instant see yourself being swallowed up there by a waiting monster. Settle down for the night and hear whispers of a world where you didn't make it inside before dark. Even those circumstances before your arrival in Norfinbury aren't safe from questioning. Did things happen this way, or that way, or not at all? As the day goes on, it gets more and more difficult to sort out what actually happened and what only might have happened, if the world had spun a different way. These effects will last throughout the duration of the event.

Re: QUESTIONS

[brokethefirst]

Will these effects affect everyone, or will it be like the previous event where some are affected and some are not?

[snowblindmods]

Everyone is affected! If someone OOCly really has an issue with this event they can skip out on it, but in general it will hit everyone.

[rubikscomplex]

If House were to nick himself during the event, would his blood appear static-y like it did during Maintenance?

[snowblindmods]

No.

Re: QUESTIONS

[bookofnope]

Would characters have access to alternative versions of memories that they no longer have (temporarily or permanently)?

[snowblindmods]

That's possible, yes, though it would be temporary.

Re: QUESTIONS

[0thingsonmymind]

obligatory "what happens if try to film it" question goes here :3

[snowblindmods]

It doesn't show up on film at all, and there is no static or distortion in the film.

[0thingsonmymind]

ooo, lack of distortion is interesting

[despiteeverything]

Will there be any more parts to the event? I'm guessing not since there's no indication in the subject line, but trying to be sure.

[snowblindmods]

There will be an ending post that has one other thing, though it's something that will be up for a fairly long period of time (until it's resolved in May), so it's nothing that will prove super dramatic in the short-term.

[swatsflies]

Do you think that inflicting pain on themselves would help keep someone somewhat focused/snap out of it a little bit?

[snowblindmods]

Yes, that would work! The greater the pain the easier it is to focus, of course. Just be careful! Or don't! : )

[swatsflies]

Okay, cool. Thank you. <3
