Game Start

Part 1

A new message appears on everyone's smartphones. There's been a change in the Temple of Life: the door has finally opened! No one knows how or why, but the sensors left by quest goers alerted them to it suddenly being open. Preparations are made in each guild to finally explore what's inside it.

Those interested in helping are greeted by researchers in the guilds that will provide everyone with one single use item: Escape Rope: an item they found out about while investigating the temple. Should the Temple really prove to be a place "no one can return from" they should be able to use this rope to escape. It should teleport the person using it (just one) outside of the place they're in (can only be used indoors). Of course the rope can be saved for later use if it becomes unnecessary. Everyone also gets basic climbing and survival items, just in case. They have no idea what to expect inside, but better safe than sorry, right?

The new Teleport Crystal system will get you to the Temple of Life in a minute, but no one is forbidden to use a longer route if they want to travel rather than take the easy route. Once they get to the Temple (the teleport stones take them to the surroundings of the fountain in the courtyard) they will notice a lot of natives collecting various tropical fruits as the area is safe and the fruit are nice and nutritious. Anyone eating a fruit will notice a boost in stamina, too.

All that's left now is to climb the stairs and enter the Temple of Life.

Part 2

Inside the Temple of Life is a "lobby". It's actually just an empty room made with the same stone as the temple, but it has four different doors, each with a different symbol: lightning strike, snowflake, fire and a hurricane of sand.

Characters inside will notice that the door they walked in from is now gone (of course) and they may feel different as the temple has stripped them off of all their powers, including Seasonal ones. Instead they may feel like they're lighter (their jumping ability has increased to triple their normal one) and that they have three holographic hearts on top of their heads.

There's a holographic display near the doors and a shelf for laser guns. The display says the following:

This is the Gigaman simulator. Welcome, players. Each of you have been given three extra lives. Once all of your total of four lives have been used inside the levels you will get a Game Over. For native participants this unfortunately means you Die.

However, otherworlders! You are in luck. If you die four times inside the simulator you will be thrown out of the simulator, into the courtyard of the temple and you can try again! Dying is painless. Getting hit, unfortunately, is not. You have ten regular hits before you lose a life. Your lives are indicated by the hearts on top of your heads.

Things that will instantly kill you include: lava, falling into an endless pit and spikes.

Please take a laser gun and enter the level. You may bring any other items as well, but your powers will be gone and so will the special effects of the items. Except for the legendary "Escape Rope". That is something that can bypass our system. Keep the rope at hand if you get scared. If you lose your other items inside the levels, do not worry, they will appear outside. However, if you lose your laser gun it will reappear next to you.

Oh and you may keep the laser gun afterwards.

The question is: cAN yOu deFEAt [redacted]?

Well, the choice is yours. Do you enter one of the doors or use the escape rope to get out of the temple?

Part 3

All of the levels start with a normal room of just the environment of the level. But there, in the starting point of the place, there are natives of Ellipsa sitting around with a look of defeat and desperation on their faces. They're physically fine as the simulator grants you the ability to just ignore hunger and other basic needs, but they're also stuck here. It seems the simulator is just too hard for them to get past. Most of them have no holographic hearts over their head or just one: they're close to dying and don't want to take the risk.

Escape ropes are their only hope of getting out of the place and they promise anything if you give them the item and help them escape.

If you give away your Escape Rope, the only way to leave is to either Game Over or Finish the Level. Good luck, players.

(There are also some natives in various other parts of the game, too scared to go further or go back. They can also be saved by taking them with you to the end and defeating the boss monster together but if they die, they die, so there is a risk in that method.)

The Levels [ Click to Expand ]

All basic monsters and boss monsters are weak to the laser gun. Some can even be jumped on to decrease their health.

Electricity
Design: A factory with plenty of platforms and conveyor belts over bottomless pits (or spikes) that change directions occasionally. The main hazard of the level is the beams of electricity that will damage players. They can be switched around with buttons, but deactivating one beam will activate another.
Instant Deaths: Bottomless Pits, Spikes

Basic Monsters: Ufo Catcher (a claw with googly eyes that will try to drop characters into a pit or spikes), Small Robot (small robots that throw wrenches at players), Slinky (slinkys with googly eyes that won't stop for anything)

Final Boss: Squirmle: A slinky minion mass-producing machine (looks like one of those Worms on String with googly eyes, but mechanical). Occasionally fires electric shocks that stun players for 5 seconds while the minions attack them. Weak to Smokescreen as the sand jams its machinery and makes it temporarily lose the ability to produce minions.
Boss Loot: Laser Gun Upgrade: Electric Shock (damages and has a chance to stun the opponent)

Snowflake
Design: A snowy mountain cave with active waterfalls. The ground is slippery (ice physics!) and some of the platforms have a limit as to how many times you can jump/walk on them (they reappear after a time). Occasionally, while on a normal platform, a strong stream of water will fall on it, intending to push players into a bottomless pit (it can be predicted by a few drops of water before it).
Instant Deaths: Bottomless pits

Basic Monsters: Snowmen (throw very sharp carrots at players), Skeletal Fish (fish that appear from the waterfalls and spit out lasers), Yeti (a monster that will try to stomp on players)

Final Boss: Frosty: A bipedal monster made of spiky ice (doesn't have a distinct form to refer to, just looks like a giant block of animated ice) that breathes a frosty breathe that both damages and makes players go slower. Tries to stomp players by jumping high in the air. Weak to Fire Bullets, as they will melt it little by little.
Boss Loot: Laser Gun Upgrade: Ice Beam (damages and has a chance to slow down an opponent)

Flame
Design: Inside of a volcano where all bottomless pits are lava pits. Platforms are mostly normal, until a notorious section where the only way to get over a lava pit is to jump on disappearing blocks. Learn the pattern and follow it. Occasionally lava rocks will fall from the ceiling (but luckily not during the disappearing block section).
Instant Deaths: Lava

Basic Monsters: Demonic Fireballs (fireballs that jump around from spot a to spot b and hurt a lot when they hit), Lava Bomb (occasional lava rock with googly eyes that can move towards players like a homing missile), Fireman robot (a robot that will try to douse fires with scorching hot water).

Final Boss: Lavadoom: A volcano headed monster (a volcano with eyes, mouth, arms and legs) that shoots fire bullets and lava rocks at players. Occasionally makes part of the floor be literal lava that burns players health little by little. Weak to Electric Shock as it will stun the monster for long enough to turn off the volcano on its head and then you can jump on it.
Boss Loot: Laser Gun Upgrade: Fire Bullets (damages and has a chance to cause burn damage over time)

Sandstorm
Design: A desert area full of bottomless pits and rocks with spikes. The floor is mostly quicksand that can only be crossed if you stay constantly in movement. Late in the level massive sandstorms will block players' view and push them towards the pits and spiked rocks, making movement during it very dangerous.
Instant Deaths: Bottomless Pits, Spikes

Basic Monsters: Walking Cacti (cactus that shoot spikes at players), Angry Missiles (ride the sandstorms and try to hit players), Sandworms (appear from the sand and try to bite the player)

Final Boss: Hurrisand: A bipedal sand monster (looks a bit like a it could be a human, but at the same time has animal features, not to be mixed with a certain Looney Tunes character) that will turn into a literal sandy hurricane that makes it hard to see anything and makes bullets miss. Weak to Ice Beam because it slows it down so that it can't turn into a hurricane.
Boss Loot: Laser Gun Upgrade: Smokescreen (enables easier escape from situations)

You're free to challenge all of the levels and gain all of the upgrades to the laser gun, which you can then use outside the temple as a weapon. Even after all of the natives are rescued or all of the levels have been beaten, you can re-enter the levels and do them again. You won't get the boss loot again, however.

When Your Heart's Not Open

Part 1

Back in the city, the weather is strangely cold in every district (except the central one that's safe due to the artificial weather there). Even the hottest of them, Solarpeak, is advising people to wear long-sleeved shirts, just in case, even if the temperature only drops to +10 Celsius/50 degrees Fahrenheit at worst.

The reason for the unexpectedly cold weather is simple: a cold breeze travels through the whole city. Sometimes the wind even appears white, as if it's laced with snow and ice. It's easy to tell that this is not a normal sort of wind, but a very magical one.

The wind indeed has a special effect: there's a chance of the wind freezing someone's heart. This doesn't instantly kill anyone, but instead it starts to freeze people from inside out. This effect especially targets people who either have secrets or have feelings that they hide. The freezing is a slow and painful process, taking two weeks to completely encase someone in ice. Once that happen they will end up breaking into pieces and die.

Somehow this wind doesn't affect the plant life or animals at all.

Part 2

Scientists are quick at work to work on a cure. They have found that there are certain ingredients in all four of the Segments that when mixed together into a potion will undo a frozen heart. So, to help those affected, there are some options that you can do.

Stay in the City to take care of the affected. The key to healing a frozen heart is not only the potion that they will make but also affection. So those brave enough to touch someone who feels cold as ice to touch are encouraged to hug and cuddle, tell them positive things about them and making sure they're comfortable. This will ease the pain and slow the spreading down.

Head to one of the Segments to find the ingredients. The guilds are helping with the preparations to go outside and providing anyone interested clear instructions and maps on where to find them:

• Winter Segment: Bottom of the Unfrozen Lake, a coral that can survive in cold temperatures
• Spring Segment: Breeze Hills, the eggs of a monstrous Firebird (a bird that has wings made of fire that spits out fireballs, not to be confused with a phoenix)
• Summer Segment: Deserter's Desert, a special cactus flower that only blooms during a sandstorm
• Autumn Segment: Mushroom Sanctuary, a special mushroom that only grows on top of the mushrooms that are a size of a house

Once all the necessary ingredients have been found and delivered, people can also participate in potion making. The more people helping with making potions, the quicker everyone affected can get their potions and be cured. The potion is successful if it smell like a warm fireplace during a winter night.

The Towering Jenga Heights

Part 1

The VR Arcade of the Underground is holding a special event: they have managed to come up with a technology where you can minimize yourself and enter board games! They're looking for volunteers to test this new way of gaming.

For example, there are games like Jenga, Monopoly, Chess, Hungry Hungry Hippo, Checkers, Scrabble and many, many more! The games are made to fit the tiny people, but are also very realistic. Oh and Monopoly has an actual jail, but the money is as fake as can be.

It seems Jenga in particular is at its regular size and people will have to climb to push pieces out. That definitely seems like a fun challenge? Everyone gets a safety rope that's attached to poles around the Jenga towers, that will act as sort of a safety bungee jump rope.

Usually the minimized effect wears off once you end the game and leave the game board, but occasionally the technology glitches and leaves players small. The unexpected side effect wears off between 2 to 12 hours.

Anyone who did participate in the experiment will either get a month of free VR gaming time or a handheld gaming console with classic 8-bit games like Tetris.

Part 2

Those stuck in a tiny form longer than expected may discover jumping platforms to the fairy mall. It's located in the ceiling of the Underground Mall and is fit for small people like fairies. Here the fairies are all visible as they go about shopping and relaxing. They're all friendly and will make sure you have a lovely time relaxing in this small fairy oasis. Be warned, however, that the food here is strictly for fairies so if you eat it, you might end up sprouting fairy wings for a week. And not necessarily on your back.

Don't worry, you can't turn back to your regular size in the middle of the fairy mall. The magic there prevents that for the duration. Once you return by jumping onto one of the cushions left below the mall, you will return to regular size.

For souvenirs, why not buy a little bit of fairy dust? It's useful for potions, as it gives them stronger magical capabilities but used as is will make anyone be able to fly for 24 hours. The problem is you cannot use it on yourself or else it will horribly backfire and turn you into a talking frog for 24 hours.

OOC TIPS

• Ask event related questions here.

• Smut is not allowed on the event post, so if your thread is heading that way, please move it to a private entry of your own (your own entry or a new locked post on the comms).

• Remember to content and spoiler warn as necessary!

• All of the prompts happen around the same time but you can get affected by the frozen wind after visiting the Temple of Life or the other way around.

• All natives will be rescued by the end of the month, but the Temple can be accessed later just for fun.

• The frozen hearts potion will be done by the end of the month as well.

Temple of Life
• More Escape ropes can be picked up from the guilds to save more natives, but there's no way to tell there's someone trapped inside until someone goes in, so they'd have to get back after the first visit.
• Smartphones do not work inside the Temple of Life.
• You are very much allowed to work together inside the temple.
• The boss door will only open once the previous group of players has defeated it and have been transported out of the Temple. Then the boss will respawn.
• No one will have basic human needs inside the temple. It's basically a simulator so it doesn't matter how long you spend in there. Once you get out you might need to refuel on touch energy and food as soon as possible, but other than that all one needs to worry is surviving the temple.
• We admit the inspiration for this came from "I can't defeat Airman" without shame.

Frozen Hearts
• The event can affect anyone, not just those with secrets and hidden feelings.
• At the same time, the event can completely miss people as well.
• Samples of the wind can be collected and analyzed but it will turn out as a classic "it's magic" explanation.

• Reminder that this month is Activity Check-in month and check-in ends on July 31st, at 23:59 PST.

Well, it would include some of them. Some are already dead, and magic. I think they might live a bit longer.

[ If that's even technically living? Nen's not sure. Hm.

Purple doesn't sound all that happy about it though, and after a moment Nen reaches up to place a careful, consoling hand against Purple's toady back. ]

Magic will forever be nonsensical and baffling to me. Thank you for trying to explain it nonetheless.

...

I will have to speak to the humans I've grown close to.

[There aren't many, but they're pretty not okay with the idea nonetheless.
Nen's pat is appreciated, though. They're getting better with touch - thanks to one of those aforementioned humans, in fact - and as a toad it's somehow...
Different. Perhaps their skin is thicker?
They still end up squeezing their eyes shut regardless, of course.]

That is alright. You needn't understand magic beyond what powers this place has granted you.
I feel the same with science. There is very little of it that I understand, and even less that I intend to learn.

[Go ahead, ask them to add a few numbers. Do it. They'll avoid it entirely.]

I think that is a good idea. I should ask my humans how long they are going to live, too. That is an important thing to know.

[ They're probably all outlive Nenonen, but that's not the point. They just want to make sure that Kenat, Shigeru, Duval, Yuuto--that they'll all be okay. Chipp's immortal as a Grim Reaper as far as they know, and that brings them comfort.

They wonder if they'll be alive if they go to Chipp's world in the afterlife. ]

...But doesn't science make up the observable world around us?

Does it? The ability to observe in itself is not science.
I do not need science to tell me the sky is blue - I need only open my eyes.

[Another little pause as they wiggle in Nen's hair a bit again, mostly just to fold their arms beneath them.
It's cat-like, despite being... y'know. A toad.]

From what I remember of Professor Orange's work, magic is able to be studied through science, if you desire. They put quite a lot of effort behind doing exactly that, despite it fruitlessness.
However, there is much to magic that you must simply accept. Things that you cannot just study and understand.

Much of what is incomprehensible is magic in itself. The inobservable, if you will.
You needn't try and understand it. All you need is to trust that it works.
I am happy with that. To live among the incomprehensible.

[ TOADLOAF. the most important of toad poses. ]

Is it really magic if you can understand the scientific theory behind it? I thought that magic did not obey the laws of science, and therefor it was an entirely separate discipline...

[ Then again, they know nothing about magic other than it's incomprehensible to them, so. This may be a moment to just accept what Purple is saying and not worry to much about it. ]

[The world's most important form of toad, in fact. Nen won't get to see it, but they even lace their fingers together as they loaf, not unlike that trend of putting tiny doll hands on one's cat while it's loafing.
Purple is doing so because they are wise and sagely, obviously. But it's still similar.]

Magic is a force of nature. That is why it may come in so many forms, and why it can be hard for some to control.
You are not learning to manipulate the world through magic, as science might do. You are learning to manipulate magic through your own self, as if you are a tool made for such.

This may be why you have struggled to understand the side of magic that one can comprehend. You have been thinking of it the wrong way.
Think of it not as a school of thought or a means of study - it is better to consider magic an element, a force in and of itself.

Not all of it can be understood, mind. As mentioned, magic is incomprehensible at its core.
But there are branches of it that breach through the layers of the world that we can interact with and use for ourselves.

It is not too unlike the magic resonating out of you.

[Yeah, don't think they haven't sensed that Essence from the very start. It probably isn't even too far off from their own presence to magic users.]

...There is magic resonating out of me?

[ That gets a big ol' blink out of Nen as they look down at themself for a brief moment, then back to Purple. ]

I am not using my seasonal magic though. Do I have a leak?

[ Faucets and reactors can leak, right? So why not...whatever it is keeping magic inside one's body? It makes sense.

...Does that mean that isn't at all what's happening? If Purple is right about the way they're trying to understand things, maybe that line of thought is inherently flawed. ]

Oh? You do not know of your own magic?
I suppose that makes sense. It feels a bit alien, where magic is concerned.
As if it is only part magic... with a part that I cannot truly grasp.

[It's unsettling and strange, but in the way that the Cursed Castle was unsettling and strange... as if it holds dark secrets locked inside from eons and eons of time, whispered out when you are the only one around to hear it -
So, for Purple, they actually find it somewhat comforting.

They haven't felt something like this since showing up in Ellipsa.
Earlier than that - the last time they got to feel this was before they died.]

Perhaps a better word to use would be "power". There is a sort of "power" emanating from you.
You are a source of it, much like my own soulbound gem.

But I don't have any powers of my own.

[ At least someone finds it comforting. To date, it's befuddled a few, concerned one, and the rest...either don't notice it, or have decided not to worry about it (Chipp).

Not having anything special about them was the whole reason they were considered a failure of an experiment. No matter what tests were run, they weren't able to do anything considered abnormal or beyond baseline. To hear the opposite makes them blink again, pausing mid-step to stay where they are. ]

That is often the case with sources of power. My soulbound gem cannot do anything on its own.
It takes binding it to my very soul to allow its powers to be used - and even then, I am the one who uses them.
Not the gem.

[After a second... they wiggle forward so they can look over Nen's hairline and down toward their face. Really only looking at Nen's forehead this way, but still.]

Perhaps you can find a way to tap into your own potential? A conduit of sorts.
Something that can draw your power outward in a form you can use.

[ Well if Purple's gonna look down no way Nenonen can resist looking up when they feel those webbed lil feet scuffling forward. Lucky for Purple, they don't lean back so far as to dislodge them. ]

How do I do that? I do not even know which part of me is the power source.

[ Is there a way they can actually do that if they figure it out...? Would that mean they can do stuff without their seasonal magic, like Shigeru and Chipp? Like Ayato or Saya...? ]

It is something inside of you. That is all I can sense.
I have befriended a doctor somewhat recently - perhaps they can assist?

[look it's about time someone discovered purple's morals are kind of fucked, ok, everhood will do that to you]

[ I also love that the doctor Purple is going to refer them to is Shigeru anyway LMAO ]

...Who is the doctor? I already have a primary caregiver, due to a need to consistently monitor my vitals for abnormalities.

[ They're not keen on going through finding someone new they can trust with this sort of thing, and even less keen if there needs to be any tests or experiments...but if anyone insisted, they're probably wind up doing it anyway. ]

[And yet throughout all of this, no one is going to realize Purple is suggesting... y'know... vivisection.
With Shigeru. Of all people.]

Ah - are they an otherworlder? The one I know of is Doctor Miyata... they assisted me with the illness not too long ago.
I could not drink the potion, so they administered it through a small needle.

[ Purple's medical kink out here on full display goin' right over everyone's head. ]

...Miyata? Shigeru Miyata?

[bold to assume they aren't just defaulting to war crimes bc that's how they've been trained as gold pig's butler]

Yes! That is the Doctor Miyata I speak of.
A dear friend of mine had suggested I see them after I began to suffer from that illness.
They were quite friendly. They stuck a small picture of frogs over the wound. Presumably to cover it?

[ since when do butlers commit war crimes????

Realizing that the person Purple's describing is someone Nen knows changes their demeanour entirely. They perk up, their shoulders relax, and they start to walk again. They would probably let Shigeru do anything to them--they trust him with their health that much.

He's the only doctor they've ever known who's put their comfort and consent first and foremost. ]

I know Shigeru--he is a husband. And my physician! Was it a band-aid? He gives me those after my blood tests.

[butlers commit war crimes when they're asked to by gigantic hogs, obviously]

He?

-- Ah, wait, I remember. The differences between humans and the way speech reflects this... I will have to become more flexible about catching this from myself.

[Hi, they're from NoGenderLand where no one has a gender because they're all too fucking ancient to care anymore.

And if Nen's going to start walking again, Purple's going to scootch back and get comfortable in their hair once more. They should both be glad that Purple is a toad and not a slightly moist frog.]

If "band-aids" are placed over wounds, then yes, that was likely what it was. I am still wearing it, I believe... I do not know how long I am meant to keep it on.
But it has disappeared with my robes, so I can only assume it will reappear once I am no longer a toad.

And if you do not mind further questions... may I ask what a husband is?

You should only keep a band-aid on for 24 hours at a time. They will begin to pick up bacteria and other impurities over time, making them a detriment to the wound as time goes on. It is important to routinely change any and all bandages to ensure cleanliness of the wound.

[ If Purble needs more band-aids however, Nen is more than happy to stick them with a couple dozen. Just as they are happy that Purple is indeed not a moist frog...that would make this so much more unpleasant. Froge slime.... ]

A husband is someone you want to stay together with for the rest of your life. In some worlds it has legal connotations and you also sign paperwork to make it official. It is a person you have courted for reasons sexual, romantic, or purely due to mutual benefit.

In my case, Shigeru is someone I do not wish to ever be parted from.

... You have managed to make such an insignificant little thing sound very vile. Thank you.

[Their tone is flat, but that's their equivalent to "thanks! I hate it."
Note to self: remove band-aid ASAP.
As for the rest... Purple pauses to think on it. And lets out a little croak because they can't exactly help it. But they're going to pretend that didn't happen.]

How long must you know someone for that to apply? And how close ought you to be with them?

You're welcome. Health and safety protocols are important.

[ Hate it or not, everyone should practice good personal hygiene and wound care!! You only have yourself to blame if you get an infection from never changing the band-aid. ]

I am not sure... I think I felt that way once he helped me keep track of the passage of time. He offered to draw me a new picture every day, so I could be certain time was not repeating. That meant a lot to me.

After that, I did not want to be without him ever again.

...

[This is more that Purple will have to go quiet to think about. They shut their eyes gentle underneath their little toad hat, mulling that over in their mind for a moment...
The way Nen describes how they felt about Shigeru feels familiar to them, in a sense. It conjures up memories, though hazy from illness at the time, of the way Duval had taken care of them... the way he crossed the room with so much concern on his expression, gently cupping their face to make sure they were alright...
Hmmm.]

What if you do not have forever?
The moment I am returned to the realm I was taken from, I will cease to exist. I wouldn't want to cause any distress using words such as that when my life has such finality... and yet the idea behind the word resonates with me.

I do not think 'forever' needs to be taken literally. For as long as the people I care about will live, it is very likely that I will not survive more than another ten years, even with medical intervention. I think that 'forever' is meant to be...for as long as you can have with them. It might be a long time, it might be a short time, but that is your 'forever' with them.

[ Talking to Purple is a little bit like what Nenonen imagines talking to a younger version of themself would be. They're (more) literal, think in clear concepts, and sound like they are still trying to learn what their own feelings mean.

Nen still does this and hasn't yet finished their own journey, but...it's nice to think that they aren't the only one making it. ]

You might be able to go to another world when you leave this one. I am--I don't want to go back to my old world. Maybe whatever makes you stay alive here will work in a world you didn't come from. It wouldn't follow the same rules.

Hmmm...
I do worry about eschewing what fate has in store for me in doing so... but that is certainly an idea.
I cannot think of a reason why my gem wouldn't continue to support me in someone else's realm, when it supports me so readily here.

[This whole thing makes them wish they had the Mirror to turn to right now, though. Even though they'd probably continue to refrain from asking it anything... the idea of having a source of truth is comforting, in a way.
They shift a bit on top of Nen's hair, settling back down into that loaf-like position as they think a moment more.]

...

Do you know of Duval? Have you met him?

Duval...? Yes! I work with him at Moondrop. It is a plant store and cafe, we look after the flowers together. Sometimes he makes me clothes.

[ Sexy clothes. But Nen doesn't need to say that bit out loud--they can just show poor Purple as they pull out their phone and flick to that very same photo they sent Chipp. YOU'RE WELCOME, PURPLE. ]

He made me a dress too, but this one had flowers. I like flowers, they're my favourite.
