Event: Recharge?; Part Three

[animusmods]

If Thursday was relatively quiet, Friday is the opposite. The whole Tower hums and rattles, bright electric sparks and arcs pushing out from the exposed core of the Tower. The strange rips in the air are more prominent now, revealing themselves to be something like a void--the complete absence of anything, even reality, in that spot. Coming into contact with one of these spots causes the character to blink out of existence for anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour. They're easily enough avoided in the day, but at night or in the dark it's more difficult.

As for those who volunteered to provide power to the Tower, they dream on. The nightmares have grown worse all throughout Thursday, to the point of something approaching (but not exactly like) physical pain, until finally on Friday they cease.

While still asleep, they seem to have slid into a different realm entirely--a perfectly black void, lit only by the glow that seems to come from somewhere inside each of them. None of them is alone: they have all arrived in this place together. While they cannot see anything around them, they feel drawn to a specific point somewhere in the distance, and will be compelled to travel there. It's a quiet, eerie journey, and it seems like it will take some time, but surely the reason everyone has been brought here is at the place that's calling out to them...

There is a mingle log for those hooked up to the machine here.

Those voids - the ones in the rips in the air - wouldn't happen to be the same thing as the 'end of everything' Asako saw while she was droned during the Rebellion event, would they?

[animusmods]

It's the same sort of void.

[sawthelockdown]

Thank you for this opportunity for character torture, then! :D

... I mean: oh no, this is horrible. Just awful.

Re: QUESTIONS

[sageprincess]

Just to make absolutely sure, characters in the void can see one another y/n?

[animusmods]

Characters in the void can see each other. They can also communicate and interact physically.

[bowandblade]

For those who come into contact with the voids, are they aware at all when they seem to have blinked out of existence? Or do they not detect the passing of time?

[animusmods]

They realize they've lost track of time, but it seems like a few seconds to them.

[oathshackledbird]

As a follow up on Zelda's question...since the characters in the void can see each other, how do they appear to each other? Do they appear normal? As they would if the glamour was down? Some other way?

[animusmods]

They appear normal.

[warriorscribe]

In the void, does Enoch still hear Eleven?

[animusmods]

Yes.

[undroppedeaves]

Are powers active in the void? I'm thinking mostly of Taiki's shirei here, can he summon them? Because dark scary voids mean cuddle demons needed

[animusmods]

Powers are active, yes.
