game announcements, game info

I'm claiming Friday, October 14th for a Mirror game! Mingle starts at 6:00 PM and the game starts at 7:00 PM, with the game running until Midnight EST at the verrry latest. Not sure how internal timing will work, but it will likely be divided into rounds and thus you will need someone from your team on deck for each one.

Which brings me to my next point: this game is gonna be pretty damn terrible! If you're familiar with the game Heavy Rain then you have a good sense of what this game is probably going to entail. Characters and/or teammates are probably going to die or be asked to do morally scrupulous things. This is also going to be a game that requires at least two people from each team (or partnerteam, if you prefer), with one being placed in a position of peril while the others work to solve it. For that reason, I need to know the following things in advance:

1) Is your team/partnerteam playing? It's completely and 100% okay to skip out on this game if you'd prefer not to tangle with Mirrordrama! Just let me know what's up.

2) Which member of your team is volunteering to be in peril? This member mmmmay or may not have a lot to do during the game, but should probably be vaguely present, especially during round changeovers. Also, there's a 50/50 chance of death involved, overall. Members who sign up for this should be capable of drowning (or OOCly okay with having water powers removed so that they can be at risk of drowning for the game).

3) Is there going to be at least other one member of the team/partner team available for the whole game? This member (or members) will be asked to do some pretty icky things in order to help out the teammate who's being held hostage. (OOC squicks can and will be worked around, as always! If at any point the tasks get uncomfortable, I wil be available for PM and email and I can change 'em up to suit.)

ETA: WHOOPS I am a derp. The sign-up comment below is for final answers only! If you want to note general availability in the post (which is still totally awesome), comment to the post in general and not the sign-up thread.

I thiiiink that's about it! Any changes to the timing will be later rather than earlier, since I'm coming back from RL stuff that weekend and am still slightly unsure as to how it'll work out.

Also, this is likely going to be her last game, so after this people are free to attempt whatever plot antics regarding her fate that you might have been sitting on until now. :U

	Tell me if your team (or partner-team) plans to play, and who I'll be taking as the team hostage! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Heavy Rain Game :D I am very canon familiar and would volunteer both of mine. I'd prefer if Rena wasn't the hostage since I want her to do morally ambiguous things and I'm totally up for signing up Dagger unless someone on Lyvus wants to do it, because I'm good at being on either side. In any case I am totally playing for Corvus/Ursa! JAAAAAAYYYSOOOOON!!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just as a note, I'd like this to be for sign-ups after your team has decided a) whether they're playing and b) who they're definitely (at this time, aynway) offering up as the hostage. Like Dera's comment down at the bottom. Talk with your teams and come back once you've got that worked out. o7 (Reply to this) (Parent)

My three are up, so we have two for Beardog and Corvus. (And one for Mono.)

Akin can be the hostage, but you'd have to block his ability to breathe the O₂ dissolved in water (or somehow make it magic water that has no dissolved gas), and he'd probably have resistance to asphyxiation. (More of 'takes longer to die when suffocated' than 'will not die', if that matters.)

I'd prefer Honor not be the hostage, because while 'helpless to help team' is a big fear of hers, she has all these lovely pings Mirror opened up to show her that she doesn't have to be locked in a room at risk of drowning to be helpless XD.

Merry is game either way. Since most of her magic is routed through Mirror, even if she remembers, say, how to turn into an undine, it's not going to do her any good without more practice without using Mirror as a crutch.

	See what I said to Rena up above! This is more for final answers, though thank you for telling me interest etc. :Dd Also, if any of your characters are used as hostages, they'll be completely stripped of any powers that would benefit them during the game. The game mechanics apply equally to everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I definitely want to take part in this, and since having this sort of game and not throw a 999 character in it would be just wrong, I'm going to go for both of my characters-- which means Hizumi for Corvus, and Santa for Orion (that is unless team/partner team wants to skip out obviously)

For Hizumi can go either way if needed, Santa I would rather not have as a hostage.

	Awesome! Like I said with the others, get with your team and figure out who the final choice for hostage is gonna be and let me know who it's gonna be. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Re: [SIGN-UPS] righthandsmoke 2011-09-25 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	Hydracula is all up in this. We're offering up our tiny (Yuta) for our hostage. If more Hydra is available to play and we need to split to two teams, we'll figure out a Hydra hostage then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [SIGN-UPS] ghostduster 2011-09-25 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Sweet, I'll write down Yuta then. :Dd (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Re: [SIGN-UPS] byallmeans 2011-09-25 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Orion's in! Mitsuru will be the hostage tentatively since Santa wants dubious morality choices and we need both options covered, but I will step down if another Orionite is going to play and wants the role. /o/ He'll need either his water magic suppressed or his staff taken for the game, though.

	Okay, June will be hostage for Bunnycorn, since as Hizumi said, not throwing a 999 character into this would just be wrong. We will also switch Hizumi to our hostage for Lyvus! (Reply to this) (Parent)
