♥ 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.

We do, but nothing like that, from what I know. [ Maybe in some far off place, like Valm..? ] We have manaketes, which are dragons who live in human forms. And then there's the taguel, they're a race of.. uh, well, essentially bunny people, but if Yarne is anywhere around here, please don't call it that. He won't stop shrieking about it, probably.
[ Inigo will get a headache just thinking about it.. He's squinting a bit at the very thought! ]
Neither of them are very common though. There's mostly just humans.
no subject
[ Now he's imagining human-shaped bunnies.... but he can barely remember what the faces of a bunny look like! ]
Ronso are more tough-looking than that. They're pretty muscular, and they have big fat noses. Snouts? Cat noses. [ He motions to his own nose like, you know! Those cat faces! ] And they're fast too! Man, and Kimahri, he could jump off of anything anywhere.
[ It's always impressive to think about Kimahri's moves, okay. Just jumps around all over the place! ]
no subject
[ Get it. It's since Inigo's gay.
Although he'll pass on the half-cat people, thanks, that's just.. a little bit too odd, even for him. ]
Was he faster than you though? [ Inigo's always thought Tidus was pretty fast too, anyway. But maybe being non-human would make him faster than regular humans? Yarne and Nah could do all sorts of things that Inigo himself couldn't do either, after all. ]
no subject
I've got muscle. [ Said a little defensively... thank you very much!! ] And yeah, he can move faster than me. I'm the better swimmer though!
[ Does he need to puff his chest out a little and lift his chin just so Inigo doesn't miss how he looks?? Bro? Because he is! ]
And I bet I can run faster than you!
[ competitive bro mode activated....!! ]

UGGGHH. This is why you don't become best friends with a straight guy, isn't it. This is exactly why. ]
Why is this suddenly a competition?! [ Whine, whine. He can't even tell Tidus that yes, he is indeed muscled and it's very, very nice, because that might start an entirely different flusterstorm! ] I didn't even do anything!
[ For once. He thinks. He can't help it that his sense of humor is beyond Tidus! ]
