HERE WE GO...
Here it is, your intro to this weekend's upcoming plot: HORROR PLOT!
On Thursday night, students will go to sleep as usual. However, sometime in the wee hours of the night/early morning, a number of them will fall into a much deeper sleep, and "awaken" in shared dreams - or really, nightmares.
Though they won’t know it at first, there is real danger posed in these nightmares - any injuries sustained in the dream will appear on one’s body when (IF!) they wake up, and if you die in the dream, your sleeping body will also perish. Students who fall into these dreams cannot be woken up by normal means - no amount of shaking, cold water to the face, or Inception-style ‘kicks’ will bring them out of it - they can only awaken when whatever (or whoever, as the case may be) is controlling these dreams is overcome.
Characters will be trapped within their dreams and won’t be able to contact people in other dreams or back home. However, because these dreams are a shared reality, they will all still have their phones and will be able to make network posts, phone calls, and texts only to other characters in their group. In reality, those texts and network posts aren't actually real -- they only exist within the minds of the people sharing that dream world. This means that they won't show up on the network or phones of anyone else.
Fortunately, Marine (our resident dream expert) and Caleb (our resident channeler who has been training with Marine on Team Magpie lately) will be able to enter and exit the dreams at will in order to pass along information and give updates. They will face all of the same dangers as people in the dream, however -- dream injuries = real life injuries, and dream death = real life death.
Throughout the weekend we will post updates for upcoming plot. This post contains the plot updates for Day 1, which is Friday -- we wanted to give as much advance notice for people to log as possible. Because we're working with limited time, these updates will have a lot of detail for you to play off of, but you’re more than welcome to do other things, too!
When we post the daily plot we will encourage you to discuss what happens in the comments underneath. And when it comes to actually playing them out, feel free to write full-out logs and/or mini-logs. As mentioned, characters will also have phone access for contacting other members of their own group via text, network, or calling. We wanted to post the Friday plots now, so that if you wish to get started on logs or minilogs for Friday, you may!
Students who aren’t assigned to a small group will have more limited plot opportunities -- though they’re not having the full dream-experience, there will be quite a lot to do and worry about on campus. Because of this, they will have their own plot update included in the daily updates!
And now... the reveal of the groups!
If there is anyone who signed up for the plot that we left off for some reason, PLEASE let us know ASAP.
