Event: Into An Abyss; End

[animusmods]

The fight with Jason comes to an end messily; all characters involved with the conflict die, though Jason is left with grievous injuries. He drags himself back through a suddenly appearing rip in reality that opens up beneath his feet and sucks him in, closing behind him and leaving the faint smell of ozone in the air after killing anyone who could possibly follow him. In the chaos following the altercation with Jason, Aria comes over the loudspeaker again.

"We're almost done—I'm really sorry, you're going to have to deal with those things a little longer. Jason is really angry. But he's wounded, so they should be weaker now. When we're done—well, it's going to be a little loud. You'll be able to get into the room through an access point on floor 101 after that. I'm working on a little something extra for everyone too, as thanks for all the help!"

The plague doctors are no longer able to spot characters with orange and yellow collars after Jason retreats. Though they become increasingly aware of characters the higher up they are on the collar spectrum, they can be fought with any kind of non-powered attack, regardless of the attacking character's collar color.

On January 1st, the entire Tower gives a mighty groan, shaking from top to bottom. The tremors continue intermittently over a period of five minutes; when they subside, the lights in the tower finally return. The rift on floor 23 is woven back out of existence, ripping the plague doctors out of the tower along with it. There is now a teleporter on floor 101. When the glamour flickers, it becomes obvious that the teleporter is situated next to a familiar plant.

Utilizing the teleporter will transport characters to a room with the same metal aesthetic as the dormitory floors. There are basic structures – chairs, tables, and benches are scattered around the space, like a lounge without cushions. Terminals are situated in alcoves in the walls, but they are not connected to the Tower network. Worker and retrieval units with chipped collars mill about this floor constantly. Aria can always be found on this floor. This means that Aria is no longer overseeing collar check-ups, but they are being handled by a chipped collar unit.

On January 1st, Aria can be seen in a corner of the new floor working on a large, complex machine. She will be too busy for involved conversation, but if asked, she will explain that it's a matter replicator for the residents of the tower. Throughout the day, regains will appear in or near characters' trunks; if characters are on the new floor on January 1st, they will see that Aria is using the machine to create the regains and transport them to the trunks. However, after everyone in the tower receives a regain, the machine will explode with no discernible cause, killing all characters on the floor.

On January 2nd, the hidden level has been cleaned of all shrapnel and bodies. If Aria is asked about the explosion, she will state that she doesn't know the cause, as the machine was perfectly functional up until that point.

Please comment to this thread to request your characters' regains. Weapons are allowed, and all regains must be able to fit in a dorm room. All regains must be approved by a moderator.

QUESTIONS

Re: QUESTIONS

[megazero_to_superhero]

Are regains only available to those characters who participated in the event, or is everyone getting a regain?

[fionnuisce]

Are the regains replicated out of glamour or are they real materials? (I assume the former, but it's 1:30 am and I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.)

[puppy_lancer]

Just to confirm, this means characters can still get the adjusted collar fluid during the checkups upon request so they can keep/regain their powers, right?

[sageprincess]

So do the new terminals have the same programs as the other ones outside of not having a connection to the network? "A simple paint program, notepad program, calculator, and a game similar to Slender," according to the Network FAQ?

/squiiiints

[attheclocktower]

Are the chipped retrieval units who were following characters going to start following them again? If not, will those characters start being followed by normal units again?

[neverbeamemory]

I think this is probably a given but I'll ask anyway.

All real weapons/armor that the distraction/assault teams used will be confiscated upon processing of their bodies right?

[gradosfinest]

Just a small question about the regains, given they can be objects that are too large to fit in the trunk this time, would this include full suits of armor, even if the armor is of exceptional size and weight? (Specifically, it's this one!) Or would it have to be just one piece at a time? Just figure I should ask while I'm trying to make up my mind!

[warriorscribe]

Late in asking, but was that explosion audible from elsewhere in the tower?

REGAINS

[animusmods]

Comment to this thread with your character and your requested regain.

[attheclocktower]

May Xion regain a Dusk (specifically this one)?

[warriorscribe]

May Enoch have the motorcycle Lucifel got him to ride in Azazel's level?

Not that there's much use for a motorcycle in most of the tower environments.

[evokingfool]

Can Minato regain a shoujo Manga (maxed Social Link gift from Chihiro Fushimi)?

[fionnuisce]

I'd like Waver to regain some research notes inherited from his his predecessor (specifically concerning Volumen Hydragyrum in terms of subject matter), if that's alright.

[megazero_to_superhero]

May Little David regain his restocking device? I'll be okay with any restrictions imposed on its use.

[alae]

Can Dark Pit regain his First Blade?

[notachickenhawk]

Can Tobias get a box of Cinnabons?

He doesn't have anything I have to go for the comedy option okay.

[crouching_sin]

Can Naoya get a coat?

Obligatory "NAOYA EAT A SANDWICH" comment.

[miseris_socios]

Can Ken get a Featherman R DVD? And also follow-up question of "will it work on the media level?"

[oathshackledbird]

May Diarmuid regain Gae Buidhe?

I realize that the Noble Phantasm version of a weapon probably can't be gotten as a regain as it would be something bound to Diarmuid's soul (and something he destroyed in canon anyway), so I am asking that he regain the version that he would have had back when he was first alive. The weapon would have the same special ability--to cause wounds that can't be healed--but otherwise would be a normal well-made weapon. (No summoning from thin air, no being bound to his soul, etc.)

[sageprincess]

May Zelda regain the framed map of Hyrule seen here? Aaaand is it actually possible to hang things up in the dorms or do Tower Things prevent that? this is a dumb question to be asking near endgame

[swordofzero]

May Suzaku regain the imperial sword? As in This one

Re: REGAINS

[frilliance]

May Colette gain about three more lemon gels?

And may Edgeworth regain a Magatama? It's an item that belongs to Phoenix Wright but Edgeworth borrows it during one case in AA3. It'll definitely have a permissions post.

If that's not allowed then can he regain his tea set with some tea leaves?

[justabignobody]

Could Riku be given access to his Komory Bat's Ability Link Board, which would allow him to learn an assortment of active and passive abilities from Highwind? :o

[great_king_of_evil]

Hello there, can Ganondorf regain the Triforce of Courage?
It belonged to him for a split second before the triforce decided to split, really.
Besides he's shown Aria how totally courageous he is, correct? Nothing else would make him happier!
He'll use it only for the greater good and overall good things, I swear.

Well, this aside, in the case where for some mysterious reason Ganondorf isn't allowed to regain a piece of Triforce, could he regain the Trident of Power?
