Timeline Shifting Event
Think of time as a line which includes your character's canon, their time in Marina, and their future in that canon. For this event you can move backward, forward, or remain where you are on that line! Shifting will occur at the start of Day 290 (Monday, September 22) and will be corrected (or permanent) by the start of Day 291.
(We're posting this one a bit early for plotting purposes/canon reviewing time/icon grabbing time/etc.)
Moving Backward: If you move your canon point backward then you temporarily erase all Marina memories as well. You can also choose to only move backward within Marina's timeline. If you arrived on day 54 you can move back to day 106 if you like, removing only the memories between days 107 and the current date. Please note that you may feel like a new arrival, having no idea where you are, but you will not have the welcome message readily handed to you nor will you appear somewhere randomly or bein in the orange jumpsuit. If you go to sleep next to someone else you will wake up next to them even if you don't know who they are.
You can NOT remain in this state once the event ends.
Moving Forward: You can move your canon point forward. You may not move forward into an imagined Marina future. You can, however, move slightly into an imagined canon future if it is safe to do so (ie your canon has ended and your character is still alive with which to move forward.) And, of course, you can move within the actual canon future!
You can choose to either keep this new canon point or not. If you don't keep it then you will still remember the events of this day. You'll have some memory of the things you knew, but it will be much more vague and dreamlike for you. None of the deep emotions are attached to the bits of information you managed to retain.
If you do intend to keep your new canon point then you need to follow these steps BEFORE Monday, September 29 (Day 291):
1. Reply to the taken updates page with a new canon point. If only the canon point is changing that's all you need to provide. Though if you have other changes you need to make feel free to do them at this time.
2. Fill out this form and post it here:
Please note that you can not choose to keep a canon point where your character is pregnant.
Why is this happening? Remember 4th wall? This is just the engineers shaking the last of the bugs out of the stabilizer after that. Everything is within standard safety levels. They aren't concerned.
Mingle? There will be a mingle going up shortly after the daypost. Please feel free to post outside of it. Definitely post outside of it for network interactions!
Alternate Journals? Feel like you need new icons for your new canon point? (Totally not something we demand.) But you don't have the extra spaces on your current journal? It's okay to create a journal just for this event, however all posts, mingle starters, and the first comment to any journal must be made with your usual account. This will help us with AC purposes and keep your fellow players from being confused.
Questions? Plotting? Ask away! Comments are turned off so you can all plot to your heart's content!
EDIT: Pearls? If your character moves backward or forward in time it will throw off the hold the pearl has on them for the duration of the day. It will feel like the first day they got the pearl. They still want it with them, but the emotion it brings out is much more subtle. The next day the pearl's effects will jump forward in line with where they were (even if you keep a canon update).
