❧ Everybody's Looking For Something

[luministimods]

[Nathan's device has been busy lately, and today is of no exception. it turns itself on and displays a text message on the screen that reads: URGENT! Get to a private location in the next five minutes and be ready to broadcast this message to everyone on a private channel! I repeat, this is URGENT! and the very second the five minutes end, an audio message begins to play. Nathan's voice is slightly staticky and he sounds very rushed]

Someone knows I've been in the system trying to return things to how they were there, but they haven't caught me yet. Hah! Bastard thinks he can cut me off, huh? Well! I don't think he'll like that I've just managed to open up the entire upper level and locked him out at the same time!

[he lets out a loud sigh of relief] I don't know how long it'll last, but take the time now to get moving! I sent along a little something in two parts--er, not my fault, exactly but it should still work--that should help you keep your heads. I cannot stress enough how important that is! You have to fight off the--

[but it's right then that the transmission is interrupted and cut. things suddenly change all over the spacestation and in town. how long will it be before anyone notices?]


❧ Plot Supplement Details: Everybody's Looking For Something

Uh oh, Nathan celebrated a bit too early, it seems! "He" must have found out and cut the transmission, and from the state everything is in now, well, it's a safe bet to assume that "he" isn't in a good mood.

Before I get into that, this particular transmission was intercepted by Hawk, courtesy of the AIM dice~ There are also two others who received things prior to this announcement and I'll let them say who they are! Their items will become very important for the latter half of this plot.

That is...if you choose to use them.

See, part of what was done was to take all those rooms and building entrances and...well, basically hit scramble. So if you're trying to get to the spacestation via the Mayor's House, you might go in the front door and turn up in the bakery! Try again and you might end up in the clinic this time! Basically, if you're trying to a different room/building, you're going to have to do some hopping to get to where you want to go! (Strangely, this doesn't work for bathrooms, nor will poking your head inside a closet/cupboard/pantry/etc enable you to 'trigger' the same thing.) I'm going to leave it up to you how difficult or easy it is for people to get around places.

In addition to that, well...let's just say those "dreams" and such that people have been creating aren't going to get any easier--at least without direct assistance. Now, there's no choice about whether something becomes real in this universe. It manifests here and boom, it's already filling out permanent residency forms. BUT! Nathan's other messages that happened off-screen had provided everyone with something that will help banish those dreams (as well as all real dream manifestations) for a short while. Yeah, it might be a short-ish amount of time, but that time off from one's dreams are better than none?

And besides...who says you want to rid yourself of those dreams if they've become real anyway...?

-------------------

And that is that for this plot supplement update! For those of you who might have missed it, the last Activity Check post of the season has been posted! It's super easy too~

Also, don't forget that Nathan has a voicemail that can be used for short conversations with him during this... (Contacting him won't count as your turn as a volunteer, by the by, if you haven't had your turn.)

If you have any questions at all about anything, don't be afraid to ask!

Sweet dreams, everyone~ ♥
