Hiatus

[raptorcanaria]

Hey hey chelonauts!

As I haven't exactly been quiet about it on plurk, some of you may know that I'm  moving to a new country today, so I'm calling a hiatus of a few weeks (to be on the safe side) while I adjust to a new timezone, living arrangements and schedule, as well as hardcore job hunting. I'll be tagging all my backtags as I can, and I'll be around on AIM (lycanfae) for OOC chat.

Dinah (raptorcanaria) will be seeing all her students as usual. Miria (saved7)will be bothering her friends (all three of them.) Ping me on plurk (lycanfae) or AIM (lycanfae) or email (innerbrat@gmail.com) or PM if you want to handwave anything! 

EVENT PLOT POST: "MIS-SPELL"

[backwordscompatible]

I was going to wait a little bit before posting this, but since people couldn't seem to even wait until I got home before flooding my plurk...

I'll be running a week-long player plot from September 24-30.  Mod approved, of course.  The basic premise is: that Tuesday morning, Zatanna will be experimenting a bit with some kedan spellbook she found, and...well....shenanigans ensue.  The resultant magic backlash will spread far and across the Turtle, affecting Foreigners at random, sporatic intervals.  The effects could hit anybody, anywhere, at any time, but it is also worth noting that this is purely an opt-in event, and as such, your character will not be directly affected if you do not want him/her to be.

So...what exactly is going to happen?

One of four things:


OPTION 1: POWER SWITCH

Characters will swap powers with ONE other person.  And when I say powers, I mean everything.  For example, anybody who swaps with Superman will get it all.  The sunlight absorption.  The super strength.  The flight.  And, yes, the vulnerability to Kryptonite  (you can hear Batman sighing in releif right now, can't you?)


OPTION 2: BODY SWITCH

Similar to above, only the characters will switch not only powers, but their entire bodies.  In other words, you won't just have Superman's powers, you'll BE Superman.  Well, physically.


OPTION 3: GENDER SWITCH

Your character will physically change genders.  ONLY physically; there will be absolutely no mental or sexual orientation changes made during the switch in any way.


OPTION 4: AGE SWITCH

...also known as the one people were most excited for, this will involve characters either being aged up or down at the player's discretion.  However, characters will, as with all the other changes, still mentally retain the age they are normally.


Most importantly to acknowledge is that every single one of these changes are meant to be physical only.  And, yes, characters will be fully aware that something is wrong and will retain all memories of what happens once Zatanna fixes her latest screw up.

The changes could occur at any time during the course of the week.  Better yet, due to the instability of the spell, characters could be affected in more than one way, should you choose.  This is meant to be a light-hearted, cracky event for the fun of it.

The event will start on the 24th with a sudden Network announcement from Zatanna.  From there, players are more than welcome to make their own posts and/or logs.  If there is a desire for it, I can always put up a mingle log of some kind as well.  Otherwise...have at it!

+1 hiatus

[effulge]

Good evening, Tu Shanshu.

I'm just here to quickly inform you that'll be tentatively on a hiatus until the 9th of September due to continuing health issues (which is the reason for my rather glacial pace at the moment). I may or may not extend in that time period, and as per the rules I will be back-tagging only per existing threads in that time period. So, they haven't slipped my mind!

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
