Summer Dance Mix (open player plot)

WHO: People around Ellipsa and also Rinku
WHAT: The curse that creates a simulation game of your world is back, but it’s… significantly more harmless (except maybe for your wallet).
WHEN: July 6
WHERE: Weird mind space
WARNINGS: Some discussion of trauma/teamnesia games and what goes on in those, as well as the recent Cursed RPG, Jar of Human Poké Ball, and Lobotomy Corporation player plots.

[You were going about your day. Maybe you were hoping for something nice to happen after everything that’s been going on in town these days. It’s been a rough summer so far, after all, for some more than others.

Something grabs you, though. In the real world, you’ve fallen asleep where you stand, but from your perspective, you suddenly see a stage lit up purple and a cheering crowd.]


RAISE YOUR HANDS UP!!!

Let’s Go!
NEXT MEMBER IS…


[Light flashes, and you’re standing backstage. There are others standing around too, some you might recognize. On the stage, you’ll see a DJ booth with your faces on it. One of you might have an instrument, another a fancy glowstick or two, and you’ve all got microphone headsets on.

The announcer is calling you on stage.

Welcome to D4FES.]




[Have fun – it’s an open, lighthearted variation on the cursed-item player plot! Info is here, but basically your character is now expected to perform a DJ live, either alone or in a group (players can work that out). There are turntables on the stage that you suddenly know how to use, and characters who wish to fulfill extra roles in units while one of their threadmates DJs will also have whatever equipment they need and the knowledge to use it. Want to VJ? You’ve got a laptop ready, and mysteriously, all the art or video footage you can imagine is there to project onto the screen behind you or into your LED penlights. Want to play live music? Have an instrument!

The post will be divided into three toplevels in chronological: Free Play (where you play your first round and get used to Suddenly You’re On Stage), Gacha (backstage mingle with everyone else, where a gacha mechanic will put you in new clothes that make you feel stronger and that your threadmates can envy and/or laugh at), and Raid (go perform again with all your new skill and score high enough to break out of the simulation).

As is standard, no powers. We don’t want any accidents on stage.]

I mean so far it's better than the cursed game I was in. I still remember who I am. I didn't have any memories last time. So I'm already like one in the plus column.
abnormalizes: negative (every time we meet)

Mine had people giving orders to employees based on my memories who would go work with Abnormalities and then sometimes die horribly while the person playing the game could only watch, so like. This is way better also.

Oh. That sounds horrible. I'm sorry.

...Did I tell you what happened in the one I got trapped in?
abnormalizes: negative (when i make my move to her room)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-07-12 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't.

[She knows he can't touch people now, though.]
noodleboi: (S4 Huma n- Well that hurt)

CW/TW: death and gore mentions

[MK swallows.] I got my head cut off with a saw while I couldn't do anything. ...And I was on fire.
abnormalizes: negative (that girl is pretty wild now)

What the fuck, that sucks!

[She'd hug him if she didn't know that would be handled badly.]
noodleboi: (S2 Human - So done with this shit)

Re: CW/TW: death and gore mentions

[personal profile] noodleboi 2024-07-12 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah it really does. And now I can't touch anyone. Which, like, is hell.

So singing and dancing? This is a cakewalk.
abnormalizes: negative (she likes the boys in the band)

Thank god Rinku's world is basically harmless, if anyone else had found that book I think we'd be in a way worse position.
noodleboi: (S2 Human - WTF you sayin')

Re: CW/TW: death and gore mentions

[personal profile] noodleboi 2024-07-12 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank the Great Sage, yeah. I mean, if it was mine, we'd be stuck in Heaven or like our own memories with ink demons or something.

No thanks.
abnormalizes: negative (down to her feet)

Somebody turned into glass in mine. I'm glad you weren't there for it.

That's scary. Like super scary. Wow. I'm glad I wasn't either.
abnormalizes: negative (she will never let your spirits down)

Re: CW/TW: death and gore and body horror mentions

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-07-14 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it kind of sucked? I really hope we can figure out how to put a stop to this kind of bullshit.

Someone is looking into it. A friend I know. They're a little spooky but they got some good leads. Hopefully they find the brick heads soon.
abnormalizes: positive blush (it's the right time)

Re: CW/TW: death and gore and body horror mentions

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-07-15 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, a spooky friend? [Perking up, and then deflating almost immediately.]

-Sorry. Probably not the time.
noodleboi: (S1 Human - EXPLOSIONS!)

[Mk chuckles. Oh Evangeline.]

Okay. Never change. I can let them know you wanna meet them. If you want. Then you can decide.
abnormalizes: positive (in a limousine)

Re: CW/TW: death and gore and body horror mentions

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-07-15 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I think that would be a great pick-me-up after the month or so I've had. Thanks, MK, you're great.
noodleboi: (S4 Human - Batteries recharged)

Re: CW/TW: death and gore and body horror mentions

[personal profile] noodleboi 2024-07-15 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
What are friends for?

[The funny thing is the friend is just MK. In a skull mask and a robe and some high tech tricks to hide his identity. MK has no die what is going to happen when the Skull meets Evangeline but time will tell.]
abnormalizes: positive (but it is only a matter of my fix)

Re: CW/TW: death and gore and body horror mentions

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-07-15 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wingmanning, obviously.

[Well the answer is she'll hit on him, that's what'll happen.]
