Event: Infighting; Sign Ups

[animusmods]

The Tower shuts down for the month of June in a way it never has before--the clear-collared units seen throughout the Tower are gone, and with it all food in the cafeteria and restaurant. In fact, just about everything seems to have stopped working--there is no heating or cooling system available, dust and grime seems to pile up where normally it used to seem self-cleaning, and even collar checkups stop working, leaving characters who remain in the Tower feeling more and more lightheaded as June goes on, to the point of powers deactivating completely or going wildly out of control by the end of the month. Characters still revive if dead, but there's a delay of at least two days, and often they come back still bleeding and half-broken. It's as if no one is watching the Tower at all...

Because they're not. Slowly characters begin receiving short notes directing them to go to dorm level one, two, or three on the fourth. If they don't go on their own, it will quickly become apparent the retrieval units can still be sent out to gather people up. They are being separated into three groups, controlled by Dax, Riki, and Jason, and they will be taken elsewhere to play a game. Participation means being removed from the Tower until the end of the month. You will have until the fifth to sign up. Be warned that Jason's group may bring severe physical and mental trauma to your character more than the other two, followed by Riki. Dax's group will have the mildest level.

Once all selected characters are split into groups, they will be used to prove which one--Dax, Riki, or Jason--is the best at Tower control. Each group will be tended to by one and only one of the controllers; they will control their group however they see fit and compete with the other two groups. The entire operation will be overseen by Ruana, acting as judge for the competitions.

Dax favors a similar level of control as is exhibited in the Tower when it is at its most normal, Riki favors physics-shattering realities that weigh heavily on the sanity of those living within his walls, and Jason favors surgical experiments to enhance his group. Every week various tasks will be assigned; whichever group does worst at the tasks will have to eliminate one or more members of the group: they will vote for the death of one of their own members.

As for the Tower proper, well, there is one person left who can access the controls who isn't busy playing games...

Please fill out this form if you wish to sign up. Characters who do not sign up will remain in the Tower.

Additional miniplot nonsense!

Okay, so while all you guys kill and attack each other over hunting down meals and powerplays and all that, there's going to be an epic, self-sufficient duo of Kohaku and Jay hanging out together. Jay, specifically, has a surplus of food from his trunk that he will be keeping to himself and Koha. As his magic will be gone by the end of the month, people are more than welcome to try and rob them!

Also, Kohaku has a special ability detailed here that would theoretically be a serious boon during this event to anyone who finds out about it, because they would get a power and energy increase. Jay's going to be protecting her for this very reason, so if you want to get to her, you'll have to get through the stabby ninja brat.

tl;dr if you kill Jay, then you get food and also more power~ But you have to find them first, as they'll be on the move for most of the month.

they'll also have ~medicine~ in addition to that food, since Kohaku has a job at the infirmary and has been slipping away some of the stock :|b
