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:

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.

[Mitsuri is pouting. And there are tears welling up in her eyes.]

Oh... Ahhhh, this is so sad!!

[She sniffles then holds her hand out to him.]

I'm Mitsuri Kanroji. It's nice to meet you again.

[SHE WON'T CRY DANGIT!!]

[ Aah! Don't cry! ]

That doesn't mean we can't make the most of it now! Starting over doesn't have to be a bad thing.

[ He laughs nervously. ]

It's nice to meet you, Miss Kanroji. I'm Sasuke Sarutobi from Basara Academy. I'm part of the soccer and newspaper clubs.

[Ohhhh, he's so cute, Mitsuri can't help but think something very sad must have happened to make him who she remembered.

Ahhh! But she will focus on this Sasuke!!!]

Ohhh~ What do you do for the newspaper, Sasuke-kun~?

[You get kouhai-style treatment now, sorry.]

[ Multiple very sad things have happened. Whether he is a completely different version of Sasuke or some reincarnation, he deserves to be happy. ]

I write articles for the school paper... It's not very popular though.

[ If someone properly adopted Sasuke as their kouhai, Sasuke would probably have better self esteem. Instead, his senpai bullies him. ]

Oooh~~!! I bet you're a really great writer, though!

[She looks thoughtful.]

Mmmm, maybe young people just don't like reading newspapers...?

It used to do better, but you might be onto something. You'd think they'd want to be informed about the student council president election, but a number of students would rather fight each other than read.

[ He sighs. It doesn't help that the headmaster incites some of the conflict. ]

Fight each other???

[Mitsuri suddenly looks Very Concerned.]

Are there a lot of bullies at your school?? Or is it a gang or something??

Uh... both? And sometimes it's the headmaster causing the damage.

[ Like the times he blew up the school field. ]

!!!

[She has gone quickly from Very Concerned to Absolutely Horrified.]

Wh-why would he do that?! Isn't... isn't a headmaster in charge??

[Is she misunderstanding something here?!]

[ More people should be concerned tbh. ]

Yeah, but that changes nothing. He's constantly trying to expel all of us for one reason or another, using one method or another.

....

[Mitsuri is frowning very hard. It looks very out of place on her.]

What a horrible person. He sounds like someone who deserves a little beating himself.

[There is a gentle implication there that she'd like to be the one doing the beating...]

[ Girls are scary and dangerous. This is no exception, he can tell. ]

Would you believe some students got suspended because they tried to rise against him?

[She's not scary!! ... she is dangerous though.

And she looks very displeased.]

He sounds like a despot who needs to be taken out.

[Ah, that's very serious for a ... high school headmaster??]

[ Scary, dangerous. Same thing. ]

You're welcome to try if you can find your way to my school.

[ He pauses a moment. ]

If you do, take me with you. Being in another world is neat and all, but I've got responsibilities at home too, you know.

[Ah, she gives him a sympathetic smile at that. It seems to pull her out of her anger pretty quickly.]

I think a lot of us feel like that. But it's really not so bad here!

Well, if there's less chance of dying because someone decided to shoot cannons at you, it probably won't be as bad.

[ Maybe he could think of it like a long field trip that doesn't require a report after. ]

[Mitsuri can't help herself, she reaches out and grabs both of Sasuke's shoulders, looking at him with wide, teary eyes.]

...that's horrible, please stay here...!

[ Huh. This is a familiar position to be in. So much so that Sasuke reacts only a little to it. ]

Do I even have a choice? I didn't when it came to arriving here, so... you know.

Well... no, but...

[She pouts at him, how dare he use logical thinking like that!!]

I hope... you do stay here. I feel like I'd be worried about you if you weren't here...

[ It's how come he's the "normal" at his school. He actually thinks logically. ]

Well... you know, even if I do go back, I can take care of myself. You won't have to worry.

[ Mostly. Kinda. Okay, it involves a lot of yelling in panic, but he hasn't died yet?! ]

[She huffs softly.]

I... well, I know that, but...! I'd still be worried. You're my friend, after all!

[ He blinks. ]

You already consider me a friend?

[ But they just met and hardly know anything about each other. ]

Of course I do!

[Mitsuri pouts.]

I already, like... knew you? But not you! But you!

[ Oh right... he nearly forgot that she had called him by name and thought he was some other version of him or something.... ]

I guess I can't call that a bad thing. I hope that other me didn't give you any trouble.

[She blinks and then giggles softly.]

Oh no, definitely not. You were very... hmm... cool and handsome.

[Said like it's a totally normal thing to say.]
