The seal in the once holiest sites of Mandalus has shattered. Implications are that the World Tree is now exposed, thus waking up it's guardian God known as Kreyus. While he seems illusive and unwilling to interfere too greatly, Princess Iafara has begun an investigation of the temple.
Something looms on the horizon. The Cult has strangely been quiet since the death of Madam Morris. Even the Headless Horseman, known once as the General-Prince Aurim Shordi Trevintis, has seemingly disappeared. They always say there is a calm before the storm. As we draw closer to the end of the story, the storm has started to kick up.
Now Honored Guests will be receiving a visitor they never expected: themselves.
➡ THE FUTURE IS DARK
Khan Noonien Singh and Garak have been working on a device in secret. After breaking into Ardon Enterprises, the two find one of the best kept secrets of the Cult's leader. Blood of the Serpent God Mes'Klou. This blood was collected after the weapon of the System was fired on the god himself. With this secret ingredient they will construct a weapon that will destroy Mes'Klou
And the multiverse.
Mandalus's universe stands at the heart of the multiverse. Stated by many, it is seen to be at the roots of the World Tree. When the Serpent is attacked and dying, he decides to take all life with him. He attacks the World Tree, breaking the drunk. All the universes fall in on Mandalus and destroy the boundaries of dimensions. Mandalus falls in one fell swoop. The war ends, and ninety-five percent of the population dies. Honored Guests and Mandalians suffer losses together. Those who are left are forced to band together.
Ten years pass. Mandalus is filled with nightmarish beings. This is the future that awaits our Honored Guests if the weapon is not stopped.
We want you to design the fate of your muses. Did they die in the explosion? Are they part of the rag-tag group fighting the remnants of the multiverse? Or did they die in another way? Feel free to discuss with one another and then post the future of your muses here! We need as many of these filled out as we can for a very good reason...
AU FORUM:
➡ ALTERING COURSES
Six Honored Guests are coming from the future to keep this future from happening. These people have been selected already from the volunteers we received on Plurk. The Future Honored Guests will be working together and then with the Present Honored Guests to stop the bomb from ever going off. This is the time to change the course of history and the beginning of the end of the war.
FUTURE HONORED GUESTS:
Greg Lestrade/Bruce Banner (played by KB)
Elena Gilbert (played by Kerry)
Sora (played by Bri)
Dr. Julian Bashir (played by Famine)
Dean Winchester (played by Cupcake)
Clara Oswald (played by Holmes)
Except, there is one little catch about all of this.
The Future Honored Guests won't be around forever. In order to make it so they could travel through Mandalus' history, they have each been injected with blood from the Serpent. This will slowly kill them over the course of the event. Some Honored Guests might have fail safes inside them that will activate the moment their heart stops beating. When this happens they will combust into flames. After all, the Serpent can raise the dead--what would he do if the dead had his blood inside them?
How are the future versions arriving in Mandalus? They will be stepping through the very Rift that Honored Guests arrive through. This will give us the change to explain properly how your muse enters the world of Mandalus. There will be a log posted where the future versions arrive that everyone in the game will be able to read.
When will present and future versions meet? Once the future versions have been exposed, they can use the network like anyone else or have all the logs people desire! Just keep in mind that these future muses will have a mission in mind and that nothing will stop them from finishing it.
What happens to the present version of those Honored Guests? The moment the future versions step into Mandalus, their present versions will collapse and be in coma. Players are welcome to either write out posts where this happens themselves, or their castmates can post about this. Their unconscious bodies will be taken to the Mandalus Hospital and be monitored there for the duration of the event.
When will the present versions wake up? Once their future version has died. The present versions may have brief memory flashes of what their future self remembered. This includes up-to-date canon memories. (meaning Julian could have memories from later in "Deep Space 9" then present Julian has)
What happens to the future version's body? They combust. Or, in common terms: light 'em up up, I'm on fire. OR, if people do not pick to have a fail safe in their future version? Their body will need to be burned.
Below is a forum for our future pups to fill out! This will help other players realize what differences are going to be so they can tell versions of people apart!
FUTURE GUESTS:
➡ FUTURE IN THE BALANCE
After our event has started, the Future Honored Guests will have their cover blown. Either by their castmates or by some sort of explosion--maybe both! Either way, current versions of the rest of the game will be faced with trusting these future versions, believing them, and asking themselves if they will help them stop Khan and Garak.
As for Khan and Garak? Their plans are hidden in Mandalus. Not even the future versions of Honored Guests know where the bomb is. They simply know it exists. Details of the weapon and how to stop it will come at a later time, but for now a city wide man-hunt will begin once the future Honored Guests have been exposed.
➡ EVENT TIMELINE
January 17th Future Honored Guests arrive through the Rift in Mandalus. Their present selves all fall unconscious and are rushed to the hospital.
January 22nd By this time, the Future Honored Guests have been exposed to the rest of the game. They will either make an announcement individually or together about why they have come back from the future. This will launch the man-hunt for Khan and Garak and their weapon.
January 24th - January 30th One by one, Future Honored Guests begin to die. Their deaths can either be documented by themselves or made known by their castmates on the Mandalus Network.
January 30th Khan and Garak with their weapon are confronted. (These details will be revealed in a later post) This marks the end of the event and the change of history.
