Malfunction Days
This page is about the current system of days and the Malfunction Days themselves.
If a month does not have 31 days, then the new day instantly starts the 1st of the next month regardless.
Malfunction Days Another thing the cast will soon discover is the realm's instability. Its ability to change and grow on its own, as well as to suit God or Satan's purposes, has also led to the occasional "malfunctions" that befall the realm. These malfunctions are actually because of God and Satan both trying to change something about the realm at the same time. On a day of malfunction, something about the realm's usual state has changed temporarily, though everything will return to normal the next day (or week, should it last that long.) These go on regardless of when or where a tournament or contest is being held.
As a helpful note, when dates are mentioned, please consider them loosely! Story-wise the malfunction days will last for only a day (or however long the M.D. is stated to last) but the dates of the real world are only to be considered a rough timeline, not the one within the story. The real life dates will be used to state malfunction days only so that players will know when a M.D. officially begins. Any journal posts/threads started that day are to bear the effects of the M.D. You may also backdate threads or posts to react to an event you missed due to being busy or because you and another player wanted your characters to interact during that time. Just don't do it if it's a month or two later, okay? Heheh.
Announcements for the upcoming malfunction days of the month shall be included here and whenever it changes, an OOC announcement and/or (if desired) an email will be sent out to the players. Should you desire email notification of M.D. date changes, please comment to this post!
Upcoming Malfunction Days The first set of Malfunction Days are less crazy than some of the future ones will be, but it's to get the feel of the Malfunction Day events down.
December Dec. 29 - See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil - Characters wake up only to discover that they are either blind, deaf, or dumb.
January Jan. 5 - Genderswap - Well. This is awkward. Male characters are now female and female characters are now male.
Jan. 25 - Childhood day - Characters wake up to find that they are 7 years old (or like in the case of Myre, the equivalent of), with no memories of anything that has happened to them beyond that age. Will your character seek out friends to play with, search for their mommy and daddy, recreate a CU version of Lord of the Flies, or just make an unholy mess of the mansions they woke up in?
February Feb. 13 - Love At First Sight - Fall deeply in love with the first person you see. Stalking encouraged.
March
March 8 - Grab-bag of sin — Lasts three days. The morning of the first day, your character is presented with seven scrolls: pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth. Until one of these scrolls is chosen, the character may not leave the room. Whatever sin they pick is theirs to exemplify for the day. On the second day, there will again be seven scrolls. On the third, fate chooses for them.
April
April 7 - Picture Day - Characters take out pen and paper or start clipping up magazines because today they can’t speak nor write, they can only communicate through pictures. For the sake of the argument, let's assume that charades work, too.
April 17th - TVTropes Day - Characters take on the personas of a particular TVTrope. Watch as Rachel becomes the Ophelia, L becomes the Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, Yako becomes the Magnificent Bastard, and more!
April 29th - Cartoon Day - On this day characters wake up as animated characters in a typical animated world. Reality is in the eye of the beholder. How will your character handle being 2D for a day?
