NEW PLOT: TOON TOWN '45
On the seventh day at precisely 1:32 AM, the campus once more resets. Everyone trapped in the experiment falls unconscious (if not sleeping already) only to wake up sometime afterward in their assigned bed, in their assigned room, in their assigned dorm…
As yourselves?
Some of you are your normal selves, albeit in clothing appropriate to 1945. Think Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, The Big Sleep, etc. At least you won’t stand out.
But some of you? Some of you wake up as Toons.
As in cartoon. As in, you’re a walking, seemingly two-dimensional animated person or creature. Even stranger is that on this world? You don’t stand out either.
Welcome to Toon Town, Los Angeles, 1945, where your favorite classic cartoons are filmed in the exact same fashion as live action pictures, with the exact same sordid behind-the-scenes tales.

FAQ
Are there any AU memories or anything of that nature?
Nope! You have all your memories. No AU personas. Some of you just might be more animated this week than normal.What about toon items?
For the low, low price of 1 AC per item, you can take a cartoon item with you for future adventures. Cartoon holes, hammers, anvils, dynamite, animated shoes, etc. Just get permission from the mod.How does canon puncturing work with famous toons?
So canon puncturing will look slightly differently in this setting. You know Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on your own worlds, if appropriate. But on this plane of reality, they aren’t just drawings, they’re people. So for this plot only, you can be aware of cartoons your character may be ICly familiar with, just unaware there is a world where they could be actual people.Do we need to look like a cartoon from the 40s or earlier era?
Nope! You can absolutely look like a modern era cartoon. Whatever inspires you, go with it.But can I purposefully make my character look like a cartoon from the 40s or earlier era?
Yep! You can absolutely look like an old timey cartoon. Whatever inspires you, go with it.Do we get to keep the 1940s clothing for future weeks?
Yep, just like in previous worlds where you’ve woken up in D&D attire or 1950s party dresses, you’ll get one more outfit for your trunk. Sorry, you still don’t have a closet. That trunk might be getting a bit full by now.What about if we were a toon that week?
You can have a set of toon clothing. But it might be really weird to put on once you are yourself and be prone to comical animated effects. What the heck will you do with that? Who knows. Maybe you’ll think of something.What should we do during this plot?
Explore, stock up on supplies, get into some animated antics. Run afoul of an animated mob? Become a movie star? Have fun!
