[ December Events! ]
29 November 2011 at 02:40 pm
December is going to be a month full of events for us here in Marinaland! So this post is going to break it out, and what each event means for all of you, so that you don't plan anything on top of an event that will make that impossible.
Day 144: Cleaning day: Shelter! It's time for Acumen's annual cleaning binge! That's right, you didn't know there was an annual cleaning binge because nobody's been here for a year yet. Acumen is kicking everybody out of the shelter starting at 10am for 24 hours so that it can clean everything in it. This means that people who live in the shelter will need to find somewhere else to spend the night. The bots will be very serious about herding you out of the shelter, so if you try to escape from them, you will suddenly find yourself unconscious. An hour later, you will be outside the shelter, with no way back in, since the doors will not open.
This IC dayweek there will also be newbies (so they'll be stranded, too!) and a mingle at the Devil's Compass.
Day 145: Cleaning day: Dome! Surprise! There's two parts to cleaning day. Now that Acumen has thoroughly cleaned the shelter, it's time to bring out a big army of robots to clean up -- everything else. Once again, that means everyone is going to be shooed out of their homes, and this time into the shelter. Acumen will fill the place with food and new books, board games, and video games to keep you all entertained while they are cleaning.
You don't have to head into the shelter until late afternoon, but Acumen will slowly be shutting down public buildings as it makes its way in a sweep across the dome and the robots will encourage everyone they meet to head into the dome shortly. By late afternoon, they will be getting pretty emphatic, and by the time it starts to go dark, they will start neutralizing and escorting people. Again, if you try to escape from them, you will suddenly find yourself unconscious. An hour later, you will be inside the shelter, with no way back out, since the doors will not open.
Late on day 145 it starts snowing...
Day 146 - 147: Snowed in! Komui and Richie got a little overenthusiastic about a private competition to create a winter wonderland, and their inventions went a little haywire and made much more snow than the dome was prepared for. So now there is a ton of snow barricading people into the shelter -- as well as coating the entire dome! Acumen shuts down the machines but is not willing to take any extreme steps to remove the snow quickly, so you're all stuck huddling and sleeping in the shelter for a while as Acumen manually clears out the snow.
The doors will still be totally sealed and will not open, but characters who are able to teleport in and out will still be able to. But outside is going to be pretty unwelcoming with ten feet of snow everywhere and bots that will shut you down if you try to do anything disruptive. The power will be down everywhere not the shelter to save Acumen's resources in the event of property damage caused by the weight of the snow.
There will be no robots in the shelter during this event. Luckily, thanks to the banquet provided, there will be enough food to last the duration.
This will be our holiday event, and it will last through December! Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome below.
