NO EXITS

What remains of Derleth University has returned to its gentle void so all its guests may recuperate peacefully. The dinning hall kitchens have been restocked, along with supplies you might normally find in other buildings. So far, so good, right?

The void itself is an unsettling endless white. Almost as if the university has locked itself away in a brilliant white room, but with no discernible ground, horizon, walls or edge. You can step outside the campus, walk for hours as if you've traveled a long distance, but when you turn around the buildings of campus are only several feet away. The void is safe, but after a time can also be terribly dull.

Except...

Who the fuck are all these people that showed up?

All at the exact same time? And while they all have network access, none of them have keys to get into any of the rooms to have their own bed?

No, seriously. Who the fuck are all these people?

1. Carter Hall was destroyed. A large black monolith has taken its place. It's creepy. Don't touch it. Bad things happen when you touch it. Those who did still get occasional nightmares. At least it keeps the "ghosts" on the second and third floors relatively quiet?

2. The Green has been expanded into a small wilderness. No longer a glorified field, there are trees and strange animals beyond the squirrels (details at infodesk). Fandral even made a pretty little clearing in it for all your campfire needs.

3. There's a stable, built by Fandral and Loki, in progress, for those of you who end up with larger animals that need a nice little shelter to stay in.

4. There's a small bar inside Dexter Hall but it is currently out of stock. Or is it? There was talk of folks getting supplies but I don't know if people decided to share or not and stock the bar.

5. Peasley Theater does have a wardrobe for new arrivals to browse through and pick up some extra clothing. Better than just having the clothes on their back until they can do their own shopping.

6. Sometimes this weird guy comes on TV. For those of you with some psychic ability, you might get his videos to show up on purpose. Here, here, and here.

7. The campus still has ghosts. Most the really bad ones have been dealt with, but ghosts are a little more common than they used to be now. Oops.

Be logged in as your NPC journal and go to your manage invites page to accept your invitation to the IC com. I am not adding NPC journals to the OOC or info coms because I am lazy. NPC journals will be removed from game at the end of the plot.

Yes, that will be a problem that characters will have to figure out this week. XD

I mean, this is a pretty under developed plot. Some folks have seen glimpses of something trying to get into the campus from the other side of the void. It can bend the void and try to hurt you from the other side. HMU if you want to pitch an event or NPC this mysterious monster trying to break in. Otherwise, it'll be a background maybe problem until it gets its chance to shine in its own unique plot.

That's fine. This was a totally optional plot, meant to give people a chance to try on a new character or get an interaction they likely weren't going to get otherwise. You can basically treat this as a rest week.

Cool! You need to contact all the character's lines and get permission, just like you would for a regular hold. Make an official hold, which will be due at the end of the plot on 11/30. Get your application in before the 30th and your character will remain (and end up with a key and room assignment the following IC week).

They disappear right before the reset and a disappearance notification will go off.

Why do you hate my face?

I'm likely missing more questions you might have. HMU in the comments and I will address any additional concerns or questions you might have.
