Event: Rebellion; Sign Ups

[animusmods]

Residents of the Tower may have noticed, over the last couple of days, that a few of the worker units with chipped collars have made their way into the residential levels of the Tower. They are much more prone to attempting to help the residents avoid death, giving them detailed warnings about jobs, being more gentle about collar checkups, and explaining to new residents that they have to eat the oatmeal first. Just after midnight on April 8, Jason can be heard over the intercom:

"All worker units report to the administrative levels for emergency maintenance."

All worker units are gone from the residential levels of the Tower for three hours. When they return, none of the visible worker units have chipped collars. But, as the week goes on, the worker units begin acting odd, and various residents begin disappearing...

It seems Jason made a bit of a miscalculation (or maybe it was intentional...), and now the worker units are acting strange. Some of them do nothing at all, standing in corners and staring at walls. Some do everything far more rapidly than any human should be able to move, making them look wildly unnatural. Some are hostile to residents of the Tower, ranging from simply ignoring them to actively attempting to kill them. And occasionally the retrieval units show up and drag someone away, down into the infirmary behind a locked, impenetrable door, for no apparent reason.

One character per player may participate in this plot. Those who sign up will vanish from the Tower at some point this week (the time is up to you; you can have them vanish as soon as you sign up or wait until the last day before the plot begins), having been dragged to the infirmary by the retrieval units. They will be subject to brainwashing and surgical modification before being released back into the Tower acting--well, different.

The following options are available for the modification:

Group A: The mystery option. This group is subject to the most intense modification and brainwashing, and this option is likely to be the most traumatic. Only seven characters will be chosen for this group.

Group B: This group will be turned into something similar to retrieval units. This group is subject to intense modification and brainwashing, second only to group A.

Group C: This group will be turned into something similar to an advanced worker unit, such as the ones which work in the processing center of the Tower. This group will be subject to moderate modification and brainwashing.

Group D: This group will be turned into something similar to a basic worker unit, such as the ones which work in the residential areas of the Tower. This group will be subject to mild modification and brainwashing.


If you would like your character to be chosen for one of these groups, please fill out this form and place it in a reply to this comment. Note that you cannot specifically request group A--because this group is limited, we will be randomly selecting characters from those who request the possibility.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character:</b> [OU/AU#] NAME <user name="CHARACTERJOURNAL"> <b>Preferred Group:</b> (you will likely get into this one) <b>Second Choice:</b> (if we have a huge amount of characters in your preferred group, we may move you into this one) <b>Would you like to be considered for Group A?</b> Y/N (this will be considered before your preferred group or second choice group)

You have until 12:01AM April 14 to sign up for this event! The event itself will take place from the 15th to the 19th.

You remember snippets of the brainwashing process--you were strapped to a table and the retrieval units were all around you. You feel as if you were there for a very long time, and you can remember vague pain resulting. You find yourself stuck on a line between obedience and awareness; half the time everything seems fine and half the time you're aware you're completely out of control of your body and able to at least have some mental control. You feel as if you're constantly fighting mentally, and it's exhausting. You are compelled to perform both basic worker unit tasks in the residental areas and to work down in the processing unit, breaking apart bodies or delivering them to soul extraction. Occasionally you will malfunction as the other worker units do. Whenever you malfunction, your brain seems to shut down entirely. You may wake up later to find you've been standing in front of someone's bed watching them sleep for hours. You may attack others when you are in this state as well. You may also malfunction in the lower levels, tearing bodies to pieces or bringing organs back upstairs with you. You do not have any control over your actions and will not be able to speak to anyone, although if you are about to harm someone especially important to you you may be able to convince yourself to go to a different assigned task. You will obey orders from members of Group A and Group B without question.

Your collar appears pink to the naked, human eye, but in fact is ultraviolet. You can access your any superhuman skills you may have to complete your assigned tasks.

Prussia's body from the neck down seems more ghostlike than real--it has been completely removed in surgery, in fact. Prussia will find it hard to remember anything before his life in the Tower, but he will be convinced he is fading away and dying. When malfunctioning, he will attempt to kill vibrant people to take their life force.
