♥ October (Lasohm) Fourth Wall Log
October (Lasohm) Fourth Wall Log
❥ Speaking of Wall Breaking...
The ghosts in town sure are weird, huh? But they're settling down, as the month draws to a close. They're becoming less anxious and random, their behaviour growing sort of… focused. As time passes some of them begin to develop features. They can interact with the world more consistently. You can… hear their voice.
And then suddenly they are people, real and physical and just as confused to be here as you are. They could be anyone, from your world, someone else's world, a place you've never heard of… some of them could even be you, from a different universe, a different timeline, an unknown reality. What does all this mean?
IT'S FOURTH WALL, Y'ALL. Tell your friends, people interested in apping or just playing around in the setting, anybody! Time to break the wall down and have some fun.
This post serves as a replacement for the usual Test Drive Meme, in order to consolidate the chaos a bit. Though it is being posted now, timeline-wise, this shift will occur ONLY during the weekend prior to applications opening: October 30th to November 2nd, after which point characters will either disappear or become permanent residents via the application process. This also means that the rest of the event effects will have worn off, and characters will be their normal selves through the duration of this prompt.
Some ground rules for the 4th Wall event:
For characters/accounts not in-game:
For characters/accounts currently in-game:

Some ground rules for the 4th Wall event:
For characters/accounts not in-game:
- a character does not have to meet application qualifications to post to the 4th Wall Event, except in cases where there is an intent to apply when applications open. Duplicates, CRAU, AU, etc. are permitted for the event.
- we do ask that crack shenanigans are reasonably limited, game rules are followed, and that the event involve characters only, not players or real people.
- anyone can toplevel! It'll be a free for all. Go wild, have fun.
- characters will be given a temporary, low-tech communicator for the duration of the event with limited network access, due to limited availability of the real deal.
- you will not arrive with any items/companions beyond the clothes that you wear
- check out the Setting or FAQ pages for location details! Also, have a look at the October event log, to see what else is going on these days.
For characters/accounts currently in-game:
- players can decide for themselves at the event's conclusion whether or not memories of certain visitors remain, and to what extent; memories could become fuzzy, faces or communication obscured, they could disappear entirely, or they can remain fully intact whether the person apps into the game or not.
- network communications with 4th Wall visitors that don't (or can't) app in will be wiped, with the locals citing a data error related to the older communicators being used. Technology can be unpredictable, huh!
- any communication exchanges that you WANT to keep can remain with some discretion; for example, if a spouse visits and you happen to take a selfie with them, and they do not (or cannot) app but having that photo of them would give you comfort, feel free to keep it.
- Similar to the TDM, 4th wall threads cannot be used for AC or AC Reward purposes unless it is between characters already in-game.
Click the above prompt to expand for details. Timeline-wise, this occurs October 30th to November 2nd. For players currently in-game, if you have any questions, please direct them to the FAQ or to the Mod Question thread on the original plotting post.
On this post, we've created both another Questions Thread and a Toplevel thread (see below) for visiting players, the latter so that anyone can track and see who's posted! When you've made a toplevel, feel free to comment HERE to let everyone know.
Haha we can be blind together then
[ They would not be having this conversation, if so. Nor, Sephiroth suspects, would this person even be here. Without them, the so-called gods can do nothing. ]
Played a little bit of Remake and all of Crisis Core
[He's sure that there are people -- like Sephiroth -- that have tried by now, but he's looking for results, not excuses.]
Playing CC Version (obvs) so you are totally safe with me ;)
[ Sephiroth isn't here to hold hands. However, he does welcome useful allies to the cause. ]
CC Sephiroth is /Chef's kiss
[No point in wasting time.]
Yesssss he is my fave version :D
This is truly the only independent and trustworthy source for information in the city.
I really like CC Seph best myself; My fav was always Genesis lol
Do you mind informing me about a few things as well? You seem to have been here for a while.
Just how exactly do they expect us to save their world with affection anyway?
[Something that Akechi was not looking forward to. He hardly even had "friends" to begin with; They only got in his way. To actually have to do different things for affection was definitely way beyond what Akechi would even consider doing.]
And if we decline to follow suit, what consequences are there?
[He's assuming there's probably some reason to make people do their bidding.]
Ikr? Genesis can have my whole heart lol
[ Unlike with most topics, Sephiroth is only too happy to discuss this one. ]
You will find the so-called gods interfere in our lives in various ways in order to facilitate the exchange. Additionally, you will eventually run out of the local currency.
no subject
[That's definitely something that pisses him off, but it was what it was.]
Of course they wouldn't make it easy for the sap they've kidnapped to decline.
[In which case, is them. Great.]
no subject
[ Sephiroth had been at it for a while himself, and he wasn't about to give up. Rare, though, to find someone who expressed almost exactly the same thoughts. ]
no subject
[May as well just deal with it.]
I'm Goro Akechi. I was a detective back home.
no subject
[ He was still not used to having to introduce himself or provide any of these sort of descriptors. ]
I'm sure your skillset will be valuable here. [ If he was anything like the Turks, that was. ]
no subject
I don't doubt that. There's no known way back yet, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible.
no subject
[ A lot of which had been wasted recently thanks to everything that had happened. ]
These inept beings cannot hold us captive forever.
no subject
Aside from being trapped in this ridiculous scheme, I'm finding this to be quite useful.
no subject
[ Different from the others...how often was such a thing said or implied? That didn't stop any of it from being true but Sephiroth did not comment on it. ]
What have you discovered?
