Attention All!
Come one, come all! It’s Crack Plot time!
The mod team has put our heads together and whipped up a fun 24 hour event! On April Fools Day (Friday, April 1st), there’ll be a strange disturbance in the force. In the morning, your character will get up like normal, perhaps prepare some April Fools pranks like normal, perhaps pretend to be sick to avoid some April Fools pranks, perhaps head to early morning runs or make their way to class, and then, just before the bell tolls for classes to commence, WHAMMY. It happens.
Suddenly, your desk clump mate is looking exceptionally fine. Suddenly, your lab partner has a smell that is just irresistible. Suddenly, your housemate is the person you can see yourself growing old with, or suddenly, that kid bullying you behind the dumpster is your knight in shining armor and vise versa because the spell has landed and Love Potion No. 9 is in full swing.
This prank encompasses the whole school. Everyone will get whammied. That means teachers, students, librarians, groundskeepers, and even Ms. Menides will fall under the spell and find themselves absolutely, undeniably, inexcusably, truly, madly, deeply in love with the first person they lay eyes on. This spell surpasses all stigmas, sexuality and all sexual proclivities, and ideas on romance and current relationship statuses that lie therein. This spell equalizes all and the only thing that matters is who your character first spots when the magic starts.
Note: This is not a horny spell. It will not make your characters raging hormonal sex gods. It will, however, give them the sense of having known their ~chosen~ for all their life, to love everything about them, everything they do or say is magic, like poured honey on a rainbow with a unicorn singing to Josh Groban. Love is in the air and Aphrodite would be envious.
The best part? This crack plot prank is completely randomized. This means that when you throw your character into the hat, the gods of RNG (Random Number Generator) will decide who your character attaches to, and that will be that, for the gods of RNG have spoken!
We have about one week to enter our characters into the RNG by tagging them here. Once we have everyone’s participation notice, we’ll make a sacrifice to the gods of RNG and announce the pairings in a new post. At that time, we encourage all players to contact their partner for possible scenes or journal/text conversations. Go crazy!
Some ground rules:
OOC:
Players have the option of opting out entirely.
Players have the option of choosing only certain characters they want to participate in the plot.
Players have the option of choosing which characters they do NOT want their character paired with for whatever reason and this will be figured into the RNG when we roll for your character’s match. We don’t want anyone to be made to feel uncomfortable or for ongoing plots to break. This is just a fun and silly prank. Don’t take it too seriously. If your match comes back and you would prefer a re-roll, that is permissible under item 57, line 234 which states: “this is a crack plot and if it’s not fun, we’ll fix it.”
All comments on this post are screened unless it is a question we feel everyone needs to know the answer to in order to better understand or take better advantage of this 24 hour plot. We’ll unscreen the comment so all can see, if this is the case, so please, when asking questions about the crack plot, do not include it in the same post as your list of characters you’re throwing to the RNG gods. Keep that list a surprise.
Person they see will be living, no falling in love with photos or paintings or sculptures allowed. Will be sentient beings, no pure animals or insects or plants. Named NPCs at the school are permissible.
IC:
All characters will remember the events of this day like they would any day.
The magic will fade by midnight and everyone will go back to their normal selves. This means feelings had in that time will vanish as fast as they appeared and there will be no "residual" feelings. You’ll go back to being revolted by bad habits or gender or love in general. OR maybe your character will see the person in a new light and something will blossom. ONLY THE RNG GODS KNOW. All crack plots have the potential for bigger and more in depth growth. We hope all players are able to take full advantage of this opportunity to shake things up.
Also of general importance unrelated to the crack plot:
The full moon nights are March 22, 23, and 24.
The game calendar is updated! Take a LOOK We have added such events as upcoming field trips, the music/dance recital, the play, spring formal, yearboook day, and graduation.
If you weren't here for Easter last year, we have an exciting game event scheduled for the day in the form of a House competition Easter Egg Hunt. The House with the biggest egg collection will be given the privileged of choosing the theme for the upcoming Spring Formal Dance. More information on this later.
