EVENT ONE. --- THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER:
Hello Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Time Travellers and Tea Enthusiasts -- we do hope you’ve been enjoying yourselves. It’s officially been a month (wooot!!) since this game has been open and running, and we’re pleased to see everyone seems to be getting on well.
.... Maybe a little too well.
But what’s that? Did you feel it? That shift in the air? Sceptics would call it winter, but those of us who have been around the universe a few times, know better than to shrug it off so quickly.
No, something’s definitely up. And it’s affecting the humans in and around Coal Hill Academy. Evoking an emotion not uncommon to many, but when felt in extremes can be dangerous.... JEALOUSY.
Yes, the (figurative) green-eyed monster has been preying on the humans in and around Shoreditch. Resulting in increased frustration, passive aggression, and coveting of thy neighbours... well, you know. It starts out slow. You might not even notice it’s affected you at all, at first, but once you’ve been bit... it’s only a matter of time before it takes over.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?:
This event will last through the month of February. Admins will drop plot points or prompts as necessary.
This event only affects characters that are human. Like stated earlier this should start slow, building up over the length of the month -- but how this presents in your character is totally up to you! Those who are quick-tempered might find themselves increasingly giving into those impulses while those who are insecure might find they’re drawing inwards, so have fun with it! Humans will NOT notice this change in their behaviour. However, the aliens in their lives will. Again, how they notice or what they do with that information is completely up to you!
For this event, we do require all players to start at least one new interaction on the dash (para/chat/whatever) -- though more is definitely encouraged, we understand with the demands of everyday life (school, work, responsibilities) this may not be possible (and that is totally okay!!) so as long as everyone gets the chance to participate in some way, we’re happy. Note: we will be asking all players to write up a summary of their experience through the events (ie. headcanons (discussed, or individual), threads, how your character was affected or how they might have helped solve the problem, etc.)
This only affects NEW interactions (aka starting now), and should not impact any old dash interactions (meaning, you are allowed to finish old threads, and are totally encouraged to do so, just remember they exist somewhere in the verse PRIOR to this event.)
Most importantly, we just want you all to have FUN with this, whatever that means for you! If you have any questions/comments/requests, do not hesitate to contact us at the main, and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
