[EVENT | FOURTH WALL] THE DREAMING'S FLATULENCE | APRIL 15-30

Characters: ALL and plus ones. (Yes, fourth-wall characters, that means you.)
Date: April 15-30 2016 (2017 in-game)
Location: Mod-posted comment starters are for the immediate aftermath of the odd explosion which starts the event, but this log can also be used for anywhere in the setting anytime between April 15-30.
Situation: The College went BOOM. Weird people began appearing randomly in the city. After that, other buildings went BOOM even though nothing actually exploded besides the College. After that, scattered buildings developed spontaneous structural damage overnight. Could these events be related? You be the judge.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings in subject headers as needed.

The morning of April 15th dawns cold, but clear. There isn't a cloud in the sky, the sun's barely risen, and in general the kedan are going about their daily lives - opening shops, heading to work, leading kirin through the city streets. In particular, there's a small but steady stream of people moving in and out of the College.

Then, without warning, a section of the College implodes.

During the following few days, an influx of strange Foreigners appear, seemingly dropped randomly by the Dreaming throughout Keeliai. Someone might end up in a canal, or on a rooftop. Someone else might find themselves flying through the air to land heavily in a disused alley. Someone might wake up in the corner of a kirin stable. A few might even land in Hatal on the mainland, and feel a curious draw leading them back towards the turtle. They arrive in the same unexpected manner as normal Foreigners; the only differences are the sheer amount of people arriving at once, and that none of the newcomers seem to possess any soul gems.

Also during the next few days, kedan and Foreigner alike might be startled by an exact replica of that thunderous boom from the College explosion echoing around Keeliai. This only occurs for about a week, but it occurs regularly, and the source of these strange echoes is impossible to trace.

Once the explosion echoes stop, investigators might notice that specific and exact sections of structural damage from the College appear on other buildings in Keeliai without any obvious cause. These cases of spontaneous long-term damage continue all the way through until April 30th.

Apart from those disruptions, life on the turtle is generally normal for the next two weeks - or as normal as it's possible for life to be when one lives on the back of a turtle where the most powerful gang makes the rules. No one can say for sure exactly when the strange Foreigners vanish again. Some will swear they all vanished at once; others will be equally sure they disappeared one by one over several days. One thing's for sure, however -- by the time April 30th draws to a close, not one of the strange Foreigners is left in Keeliai.

The top-level comments are for the explosion and its aftermath, but fourth-wall characters should feel free to use the rest of the post for anything within the setting! Just remember to label the top-level comment for location and date. You can also add more fourth-wall characters throughout the event at the character check-in, linked above. Please direct any questions to the OOC post.

Fourth-wall characters are also free to tag into player-posted logs and console/radio posts dated between April 15th and 30th! A quick reminder that fourth-wall characters will not have soul jewelry, and will not be able to create their own network posts or logs.

"Well, I'd have to wait until I got back to the Academy to do more than plan," Wasp said. "So, whatever that was dragged you here too, Tony?"

Now they definitely had to have an adventure. With martial arts. And dragons. And noodles.

"The Academy?" Tony repeats hesitantly. "Like... The Tomorrow Academy?"

Oh shit. He doesn't know this girl. Is he supposed to know her? Is she one of his classmates? How does she know him if he doesn't know her? Well, aside from him being kind of famous in the world at large, and kind of notorious at the Academy on top of that.

Wait. Is she a groupie? Does he have a groupie?!

"No, the Avengers Academy. What's the Tomorrow Academy anyway? Are you cheating on us with another school?"

It's a legit question. Hydra and AIM keep trying to poach their recruits; not that Director Fury objected to trying to convince other students to join the Academy.
highprofilerichkid: (probably flirting. what a slut)

"The Avengers Academy?" Tony sounds amused. What kind of goofy name is that? "I've never heard of it. I've been at the Tomorrow Academy for the past two years, and I was homeschooled before that. If you recognize me from this 'Avengers Academy,' you probably know another Tony. Another version of me, I mean. From an alternate universe. That's, uh - that's a thing."

Surprise! Alternate universes are real! And you're in one!
social_insect: (flirty)

[personal profile] social_insect 2016-04-25 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
What are you talking about? Alternative universes totally make sense. "So, are you the evil Tony, then? Or the weird opposite-Tony?"

Look, you have to check these things out. (Never mind that an evil Tony Stark would probably think he had just as good reasons for the stuff he pulled as every other Tony.)
highprofilerichkid: (awkward embarassed laughter)

Huh. She took that pretty well.

"I hope I'm not the evil one," Tony says with a chuckle. If Janet is very perceptive, she might pick up that the laugh is just a little bit forced. Tony's not so sure what qualifies as 'evil,' these days. He's not sure he'd know if he was.

"I don't know about 'opposite-Tony,' unless your Tony is a theater genius who hates pizza." (Theater is the opposite of physics, obviously.) "Probably just, um, different-Tony. I don't think I've met you in my universe. What's your name?"
social_insect: (flirty)

Wasp picked that up... but filed it away for later, because she wasn't sure what she could push on here. If it were 'her' Tony, she'd totally be able to talk to him about it. This new one? Who even knew.

"Yeah, my Tony has a whole fridge devoted to different types of cheese," Wasp said. Which ruled out 'hating pizza'. She didn't even need to answer the 'theater genius'.

"I'm Janet van Dyne. But I usually just go by Wasp."
highprofilerichkid: (how can you resist that smile)

[personal profile] highprofilerichkid 2016-05-09 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Cheese is awesome," Tony agrees solemnly. "Especially on pizza. Nice to meet you, Janet. I haven't run into you in my world yet, but I'll keep an eye out. So we go to school together in your universe? And... Why 'Wasp'?"

That sounds like a nickname with a story behind it. Or possibly a code name.
