âOh, no, donât worry!â come the words of Capella, taking off her lab coat to drape it over a chair.
âThis isnât like any of the boring movies or tv shows that everyone else likes to watch,â she pauses.
âEspecially Caelum, hehe!â and with that, the woman now plops down on her chair in an almost giddy manner, soon wheeling herself over to her companion nearby. With her eyes, she continuously motions to the chair now next to her own, her smile growing wider and wider as the silence between the two continues. Eventually, however, Capella gets tired of not saying anything and adds:
âWell? Have a seat! Either the chair or the cold ground, take your pick! HAHAHAHA! No, no, Iâm just kidding⌠But have a SEAT!â she now shouts, pushing the chair with her leg into the knees of Aspidiske, causing them to topple over into the seat now. Pleased with her companion having now sat down, she wheels herself back over to the lone TV in the middle of the main computer lab, covered in a vast amount and variety of stickers. It seems misplaced and, more than that, absolute given that anything Capella could show Aspidiske could easily be shown via a computer screen.
Cracking her fingers, Capella reaches into the pockets of her lab coat draped over her chair, pulling out a tv remote and promptly turning the TV on with a buzz. Confusion is apparent on Aspidiskeâs face but frankly, itâs something that is either unnoticed or ignored by Capella herself. Instead, she begins to flick through the channels and⌠Upon closer inspection, some flashes of the images shown may seem quite familiar to Aspidiske.
More so in particular, the various âactorsâ apparent on the screen.
âI thought just doing a regular environment test would be boring and not get any interesting results soâŚ! I took it upon myself to do a little editing and whatnot! Hey, do you have a favourite subject? I can try and find the channel theyâre on right now and we can see what the plot of their story is like! Hehe⌠Hehehahaha!!â
--------------------
It is strange, to simply close your eyes for a moment and to reopen them, only to see that you are in a new place entirely. Whether you have closed your eyes to get some well deserved shut eye or simply had to blink, the end result is the same; you are no longer in Spirale. In fact you⌠Arenât really sure where you are. However, something seems⌠Very off; very eerie and you are quick to notice it.
Whether it be the environment itself, the over acting of the people around you or perhaps just your innate intuition, itâs become apparent that you⌠Are now within a movie or some sort of tv production. How did this happen; why? Well, no one can be sure, especially not many of the people stuck inside that tv screen with you.
After all, theyâre just actors doing their job!
As you may have guessed, your muse is now stuck within a movie or some sort of tv program. Capella has taken it upon herself to test the limits of her programming mods while at the same time, testing out environment changes and the reactions of the various citizens thrust into their new 'worldâ. While it may not be obvious right away, eventually your character will realize that they are, essentially, stuck inside a movie (or what have you) of sorts. No matter what they say or do, most of the other 'actorsâ inside this realm wonât respond to their reasoning or pleas and instead, act just according to their script.
So unfortunately, no one really knows whatâs going on and has no answers to provide for you. Sorry!
WAIT, SO IT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF MOVIE?
Movie, tv show, advertisement⌠Heck, it could even be a recording of a popular stage play! As long as itâs something that can be played as part of a tvâs 'regular programmingâ, then anything goes! You are free to select the genre of what exactly your character has been thrown into to your heartâs content; an action adventure flick, a romcom movie, a sitcom with a live audience reaction⌠Even rubber hose cartoons are fair game! The sky is sincerely the limit with how creative youâd like to be for this event!
You can, however, have other muses be stuck in the same program as you. While your muses may be confused, everyone else in the program will behave as intended and will only become confused if you should try to explain your situation to them. For example, if you try to calm down an enemy cowboy and explain whatâs happening to them, they simply wonât understand and act however their character according to the tv program would act.
CAN TWO CHARACTERS BE STUCK IN THE SAME 'PROGRAMâ?
As mentioned above, yes! For this event, muses can be stuck inside a tv show together and the maximum amount of muses that can stuck together is four.
ARE WE ALLOWED TO CHANGE 'PROGRAMSâ OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL?
You can absolutely have your muse switch to another program, yes! ⌠However, this wonât be of their own volition, unfortunately. If they are to switch between programs itâs going to be entirely random; think of it like your relative annoyingly flipping through channels on the tv until they finally find something they want to watch!
ARE WE ALLOWED TO USE AN ESTABLISHED CANON MOVIE/ETC?
No, sorry! In efforts to keep fourth wall breaks from happening and the like, you cannot use any sort of canon piece of material. However! You ARE allowed to make your own spin-offs and reference any sort of real world media if youâd like!
SO, IS THERE AN 'END' OF THE SET WE CAN HIT, LIKE A BLACK WALL?
Nope! For most of the tv shows and movies, the environment will be as vast as the 'setting'. For example, if your muse is within a western-cowboy film, then they can venture into the desert and into the towns. However, there is a point where if they venture too far, they will return to their original starting point.
This is also true for recorded stage plays and the like; the stage will stretch on for seemingly eons but will eventually circle back to the point where you first started, thus making it seem you are 'stuck' on the stage!
