Jurassic.. Clockwork?
Enjoying the rain so far? Well, you're getting a nice rolling thunder and lighting flashes all during that, as well. Once midnight hits, however, the hotel gets a loud KER-POP, and all the power goes out temporarily, except for your laptops. Oh no? Well, that's expected (...kinda). It's a storm, right..?
BOOM.
--the ground shakes. Maybe something fell over... the night is dead quiet aside from the sound of the rain pouring and the thunder crashing. Wait--
BOOOM.
--another shake. An earthquake? No, that's too awkward in the middle of a thunderstorm...
Thunder claps again, a strange shadow flickering through the windows of the fourth floor and lower. Another ground shake as it goes dark again... what is that odd rumbling? That's no car you've ever heard... almost like a loud purr... or a snarl?
One more flash, and for a few people who happen to be looking out their windows on the fourth and third floors? Say hello to a giant reptilian eye staring right back at you, followed by a glaringly loud dinosaur's roar.
Mister T-Rex says hello, Clockwork. And he brought friends.
Come Monday, all the dinosaurs will be whisked over to the ruins near the edge of the city and will "reset" there at noon and midnight every day afterwards, even if they were on the complete opposite side of the city before the time of resetting. Think of it as a spawn point. Yes, the dinosaurs are staying after this.
BUT! That doesn't mean some of them won't be capturable as pets. You're better off trying to steal an egg, but anything your character can pick up? Won't reset. However, if you try to take more than one... the larger of the two will be sent back to the ruins at the reset time, regardless of how you tied it down or caged it up. Too bad. The city doesn't really need you breeding an army of attack dinosaurs (oops, evil plan #309 out the door there).
But until then? Enjoy your dinosaur invasion! Be careful not to get eaten by any of the hungry carnivores, eh? Keep in mind these aren't mindless zombies like our beloved NPCs were for awhile. These are wild animals, and many of them dangerous!
Sadly, several NPCs will be made into delicious dinner by our friend Mr. T-Rex. :(
