And here's to a new month! There's one main announcement and some plots happening.
Maes Hughes is planning to blow up Tower 4. He's finally sick and tired of the secrets in the government, and since he isn't getting anywhere in the ranks, he's going to start stirring shit up. Now, this explosion isn't going to happen till later in the month, so there's plenty of plotting to happen. This will be the intro into our May event.
Additionally, mid-month or so (May 22nd) we are having a Crossover event with the game
adstringendum. For those of you unfamiliar with this game, it's very similar to ours, only no zombies. The world was created by NPC scientists trying to draw dimensions together. Of course, that went horribly, horribly wrong and the fabric of time and space has more crashed together on that world instead of knit together.
For a week, the City of Veles will be dropped into the Adstring Wastelands for one week. Veles will be subjected to Adstring's time (1 RT day = 1 Game Day,) phases of their twin moons (none will be full at that time) and weather patterns (spring again, instead of early summer.)
Game Mechanics:
How will both games interact? Well, for any Adstring character that comes into Veles, they will be able to post to the comm. All three comms will be open for Adstring characters to interact. It will still be in-person contacts. For any Veles person acting within Adstringendum, it will be assumed that they are with someone and are posting on a PCD. More information about the PCD is in the links below. Since Adstringendum is a journal based game, have your journals friended to
adstring_npc and follow that journal's friend's list in order to view Adstring character's posts. This will eliminate mass friend adds and drops later (You'll only need to add one journal and remove one journal!) It's important that DF people add the NPC journal to their friend's list so that Adstring people see your character's journal posts and can respond to them.
LOGS If a log is going to occur in Veles, it should be made primarily in
dystopian_logs with a link to the log made to
adstrngndumlog. Alternately, if a log happens in Adstring, it should originate in their log system with a link in DF's log system.
ZOMBIES Yes, there will be a zombie attack in the middle of this mess. From day 2 to day 4, the zombies that are locked up in the science labs will escape and wreck havoc on the city. Zombies will be contained within Veles walls. If any person wishes to be bitten, be aware that within 24 hours they will be turned into a zombie via the [solanum scale] and have another 24 hours to roam around and potentially infect others before they are killed. All deaths must be mod approved in the appropriate jurisdiction and penalties will be dealt with accordingly.
While this event will last for one week, the comms of DF will be open an additional week to finish any logs, threads, etc. No new logs/threads will be accepted after May 28th after the event closes.
Participation! Do you have to participate? Of course not. Feel free to have your character hide in their apartment, wishing for the zombies to go away. Or never venture out into Veles. The talk of the event can be dismissed as the other people eating some mouldy bread or were subjected to some brainwashing techniques. It's all up to you with what you'd like to do.
Permissions We encourage everyone who is participating to put up a comment about their character, any permissions needed for fourthwalling, powers, etc. Also leave your contact information so that people can get a hold of you. Feel free to use the text box below!

Character:Fandom:Canon point: Permissions: [Basically, my character can do this ability, and it is something that occurs naturally, if you don't want your character affected by this, please let me know. A link to your regular permissions post is okay too!]
Anything else you want the public to know: General roleplaying rules still apply to this event (be excellent to each other, keep IC within the confines of the game, etc) and if anyone is found in violation, the player will be subject to the disciplinary actions of the game they play in. But since we're all excellent, this is just a formality. ♥
