AUGUST RECAP!
While there weren't any ground-breaking revelations in August, there was a meeting with all the initial arrivals, where they were introduced to their new "fearless leader"! They were informed that, while no one really knows exactly how they've been brought to this world, they're working on it, and that the accommodations provided were to make the comfortable in the meantime. They were further informed that, in order to leave HQ, they need to visit the hospital wing for a physical, you know, so they don't introduce any weird foreign diseases to an unwitting New York populous! The timeline has been updated to reflect this information.
The event log can be perused here if anyone would like to see the information revealed during those meetings!
Going forward, the physical can be handwaved by players OR Rachel, the NPC in charge of the hospital, can be threaded with here if you'd like to play out the physical.
It was also revealed that NPCs can be asked for certain accommodations if they were not already provided, here, and also that characters can take jobs both inside and outside HQ to supplement their income!

SEPTEMBER EVENT: Dreams Gone Awry
Near the middle of the month, something strange will begin to happen around HQ, and it seems to be restricted to HQ as well. If anyone leaves, they'll notice beyond the protections around HQ, nothing seems to be going wrong. They'll also notice, inexplicably, that nothing strange seems to be happening as long as they're in the cafeteria. What exactly is strange, you ask? Please, read the brief timeline below!
September 14, 7:43 PM; A scream sound from within the forest and the Creator, Airy, crumples to the floor. Her fingers press to her head as tears begin to gather in her eyes. She trembles violently before passing out on the forest floor.
Day 1: Sept 15th Buzz and whispers can be heard about the incident the night before. No one knows the cause but there is a private room set up for the happy brunette who greeted the new arrivals.
The event starts at midnight on the 15th and through the rest of that day. You will begin to hear whispers, see things out of the corner of your eyes. There is no saying what's there and you're the only one who notices these changes. Whatever they are, they appear to be tapping on your strongest feelings: desires, fears, hopes. Whenever you think you see them, hear them; they are always just out of reach.
Day 2: Sept 16th Nothing has changed but people begin to talk about the new arrivals as if they are the CAUSE to Airy's plight. There are whispers, pointed figures and characters will receive more prickly welcomes... except, perhaps, from Gus.
Once again at midnight the effects worsen. Now you see them, figures from your past. Now you can hear them as they talk to you and try to guide or convince you of truths and lies. No one else can hear them. Items: posters, furniture, keepsakes can be found in your path. You can pick them up and they feel real but no one else can see them. Should someone walk through it the illusion fades. The people you see can also touch you (lets hope you aren't having a nightmare)
Day 3: Sept 17th Panic...
Airy's condition worsens and her heartbeat begins to slow. Everything you've been seeing is now visible by everyone else and worse. Hallways change shape, rooms open up into old houses or memories or thoughts that you often catch yourself thinking of. Those in HQ will now see what you see and experience what you experience. Everything feels real and while it's contained to HQ what happens is up to your character. Be it happy, sad, or scary...or any combination thereof.
This is a player run event based around characters' most intense emotions, be it fear, anxiety, love, regret, and the list goes on. There will be no event log for this, and players are free to post network posts, actions, and logs for the event.
Please use the thread below for plotting among yourselves and enjoy our first big event!
