New Plot
Hey, everyone.
As we said yesterday, the Glitch plot ends at midnight tonight. Also, at midnight a new plot will be starting that will last for two weeks. We don't really have a clever name for this plot, but we think it will be a good opportunity for characters to branch out and interact with people with whom they might not otherwise.
Basically for the next two weeks, nobody will be able to interact with anyone from their fandom. They won't be able to see or hear them in them in person. So, if Alaric and Damon are in a room together, they won't actually be aware of each other or able to interact. But if Parker's there, she'll be able to see both of them and talk to both of them. They just won't be able to deal with each other at all. So Ric would hear the things Parker says, but not Damon's responses. Similarly, they won't be able to contact one another electronically, receive any messages from one another, or see anything posted by canon-mates on the network. They also cannot communicate via notes, smoke signals, interpretive dance, shadow puppets or carrier pigeons (sorry, Tesla). Or anything else you guys can think of. They are simply persona non grata to each other. Their names will still be on the plaques and their things will be there, so it's clear they're not gone from the city, but they can't interact.
For two weeks, everyone will be cut off completely from their canon-mates. They'll still be able to interact with anyone else they know in the city, but anyone from their own fandom is off-limits. This extends to entire fandoms. So even though Rogue and Loki never interacted within their own canons, they're both from the Marvel universe and would not be able to see or talk to one another. Similarly, characters from Doctor Who and Torchwood would not be able to interact, nor would John Constantine and Dream, whose fandoms coexist with Vertigo comics. They can check on one another through non-fandom third parties, but we ask that this be kept to a minimum. If we feel like characters are abusing this, we will talk to the players about it.
This extends to children, because we feel the children in the game (Grace, Mordred and Maggie) have formed enough connections to be able to be played without interacting with their guardians. Children born in game, as they don't have a set fandom and are too young to feasibly be separated from their parents (Abigail Pendragon, Jack and Meredith Winchester, Elspeth Pond, and Caden Winchester), will be unaffected. NPCs (such as Jaenelle's Warlord Princes) will likewise be unaffected.
To some degree, it will be as if people who cohabitate with canon-mates are existing in parallel versions of reality, where they are unable to be aware of the actions of others. So if James is showering or reading a book, or making tea, Lily will not hear the shower or see a book hovering in the air, or find random tea. They're completely removed from one another. (It'll be sort of like that episode of Buffy when Willow came back to Sunnydale and couldn't interact with anyone because none of them realized she was there and vice versa.) Seriously though, this is not the weirdest stuff to ever happen in Colligo. (Soap Opera Plot, anyone? Sex Water? Gremli...oh wait, that hasn't happened yet. Pay no attention.)
Those with abilities that allow them to sense or locate others or communicate in other ways (Molly Suresh, Charles Xavier, Peter Petrelli, etc.) would also not be able to use their abilities. And items like the Marauders' Map and two-way mirrors, or other items that would locate people, won't give their locations.
