[APRIL EVENT] the facility log



APRIL EVENT
THE FACILITY SIDE
SETTING THE SCENE

IC Introduction

When the victims awaken, they are in a small room with sterile white walls and tiled floors. Their bed is only barely comfortable with thin sheets, though the colour is suspiciously close to the victim's favorite. There is a single red door with a stubborn digital lock and no windows.

At the foot of their bed, the victims will find a neatly folded pile of clothes and 3 comfort items from home. If they have a spirit contract, then they will feel heat from the shrine object but be unable to connect to their spirit. They'll be left in solitude for about an hour... Then the red door opens and the real nightmare begins.

OOC RUN DOWN
This portion of the event will run from APRIL 15th to APRIL 20th. During this time, the kidnapped victims will be isolated from the city and only have contact with each other. It will take place over the course of around 8 hours, with characters going missing and appearing in the Facility at 6am in the morning.

There will be [4] segments to play during this time. They are all optional. If you don't want to play with a part of the event or want to handwave parts, then you are completely within your right to.

[SEGMENT ONE - Starnet??? WORKS???]
    kinda. The victims will find their Starnet devices safely under their pillows when they wake up and they will work! Within the Facility. Victims will be able to see every Fallen Star on Starnet, but they will not be able to send them messages. They can, however, receive direct messages from their friends. Check here for more details on that. What's important for this log is that the victims will only be able to send messages to each other. They can send text, audio, and very blurry videos to each other.

[SEGMENT TWO - Candidate Mingle]
    At 8am, victims will be released from their private rooms to a larger holding room. This room is as sterile as the one they came from, but considerably larger. There is a table set with a suspiciously well cooked meal of miso, a protein, rice, and a vegetable. There will be an hour to eat and mingle. No outside explanations will be given at this time.
    Looking around, the characters will see that the room is circular and the doors to their rooms connect in clock-like position. There does not seem to be a door that does not lead to one of the victims' rooms. Their name and the kami of their candidacy is written on a plate by each door.

[SEGMENT THREE - Candidate Trials]
    These are the small logs that occur within each group of kami candidates. They start at about 12pm. They will receive mod replies and last until April 20th. On April 20th, the trials will abruptly end. Mods will reply a maximum of [10] times, so please keep that in mind with your own replies! Do not start replying until you receive mod permission. We are still waiting for some of you to confirm or deny your interest in a group trial!

[SEGMENT FOUR - Starnet Glitch (April 17th Update)]
    After their trials have concluded, around 1pm, the victims will notice a change in their Starnet connection... Wait until April 17th for details!

ABOUT THOSE FREEBIES
[free regains! wow!]

Your characters do get a party bag to take home with them. Please claim them here.

[FREE OUTFIT] The free outfit on your characters' bed is what they will wind up wearing into the Timeloop. For the most part, this can be anything. There is only one slight rule: It should prove to the character that the Facility knows them well. It might be an outfit they saw in a magazine and dreamt of buying. It could be a comfortable outfit from home that they miss wearing. Or maybe it's an outfit that they didn't necessarily find comfortable, but they have strong memories of wearing. In any case, it is made of reinforced fabric and will be able to withstand their trials.

[THREE COMFORT ITEMS] Again, these are freebies that can be taken through the Timeloop. They do not count towards your other 5 declared items for the character. Mostly because these are not magical or game changing in any way. They should be small items that can fit at the foot of their bed without being uncomfortable or dangerous (no weapons, obviously.) Instead, what these items reflect a sort of bribe. Comfort items should help your character understand the the Facility knows them well and can reach their home world. They can be small items from their home worlds that they did not have before, or small items from their Starsand home that have positive memories attached. Regardless of whether they are physically holding this items during the timeloop, they will reappear in the Spacetime Shrine and be possible to collect.

I... can't really argue with that, but it's not quite what I meant. They would have to break my mind somehow to make me lose myself. Okay?

I don't know. They're obsessed with creating kami, that's... really about the extent of what I know about their goals.
