Animal Trouble Event Info
This is the beginning of Facilier´s 27th day here in prison and what better way to celebrate an almost one month anniversary than to cause just a little bit of mayhem?
So Day 281 will forever be remembered as the great Animal Trouble Day.
What just happened? Why has this happened?
Facilier decided that over the almost month he has been in prison to slowly test out the limits of his powers, starting with the tarot readings and continuing with a deliberately unstable formula designed to turn people into animals, including but not limited to frogs just like he did in the movie. Over the last few weeks he’s been experimenting with whatever ingredients he’s been able to find in prison in an effort to re-create the powders and concoctions he’s made back home. This is the first large scale test and is essentially him releasing a large dose of the transformation powder into the dome all willy-nilly just to see if anything happens at all.
In the dead of night he climbed to the roof of the tallest building available to him and simply dumped the powder over the edge, letting the air circulation do the rest.
How does this affect people?
The powder affects people by either transforming parts or the whole of their body into an animal or parts of an animal. The transformation works on a sliding scale, either with a small change like goat eyes or rat teeth, to a full-body change. This will be instantaneous — they’ll wake up fully transformed on the morning of 281.
What kind of animal can my character transform into?
Any earth animal is fair game. This can either be something completely random or an animal that resembles their physical characteristics or personality traits.
What about venomous animals? Extremely large animals?
You are allowed to play with venomous animals/animal aspects, but please keep in mind that poisoning someone through a snake bite or similar will count as assault if the bitten character ends up in hospital! Same goes for very large animals — there is no set size restriction but please be reasonable and remember that overly large animals would have great difficulty maneuvering and could rack up a lot of property damage charges, at the very least.
What about several animals? Can my character finally be the cow-snake hybrid they always dreamed of?
Sorry, no. The powder reacts with the unique chemical makeup of the individual and will only turn them into one kind of animal.
I’ve been turned into a cow, can humans still understand me?
Yes, they can. Please be aware that the wardens won’t be handing out custom-made communicators, so if your character gets features that don’t accommodate them there will be a language barrier due to the lack of a translation program.
I’ve been turned into a cow, can other animals understand me?
It’s possible! They will always be able to understand other players, regardless of their level of animal characteristics. If you feel like it makes sense for your character to understand NPC animals (either their own pets or animals in the Pet Café) then go ahead!
Just remember that tags from your NPC Pet are not eligible for AC, AC Rules
I’ve been turned into a cow, can inmates in sector 6 understand me?
Sorry, no. The inmates of Sector 6 communicate on a different level from the inmates in 1-5 and since the communicators normally can’t translate between the inmates of 6 and 1-5, being an animal won’t help your case either.
How will this affect my personality? Will I be more docile if I turn into a cow?
The actual transformation won’t have any direct affect on the characters personality or mood, however if the animal in question has aggressive/docile/territorial characteristics, that could tap into the same emotions within your character. A shy, kind character will never be more aggressive than he or she already has the potential for, but the animal instincts could give him/her the incentive to act out on emotions that they’re already capable of.
Please remember the Siren Clam Event that is currently ongoing and keep in mind how that might affect your character, both in which animal they may turn into and how that will alter their mood!
I’m a vampire/robot/special snowflake, will I still be affected?
If you have a physical form (which you really should have if you’re in this game) you can be affected. Robots and cyborgs are of course free to turn into electric sheep.
I don’t want to be a cow! Opt out?
Maybe your individual chemical makeup just isn’t compatible with the powder. Maybe you happened to be at the right place at the right time. Maybe the formula is unstable in a way that exempts you. Either way, there’s no harm in sitting out the animal shenanigans.
How long will this last?
The Wardens work fast and the air cleaning filters will have the formula cleared out by late day 281. All transformations will be reversed by morning of day 282 at the latest.
Questions on that?
Ask them here so everyone can see the answers. There may be some back and forth consulting between me and mods but someone will get back to you!
And of course, you are more then welcome to use this as a plotting post, so talk amongst yourselves.
