Event: Infighting; Sign Ups

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.

Flashlights

This is a minor point, but if you want to say that Willow gave your character a homemade flashlight, you're welcome to!

I would just make an IC post about this, but I'm feeling a bit burnt out on RP lately so I'm taking the easy way out. Canonly she does all sorts of computer/robotics repair, so I think a flashlight is well within her abilities, and she would be happy to give one to any random Joe she comes across. So just reply here with if you'd like her to give you one, and I'll remember to assume they met sometime and she handed one over.

(Note: she is not a factory and is limited by what supplies she can find, so she won't be able to make a whole ton of these.)

Chihiro would like a flashlight! He needs one since he's so easily spooked...

And Willow does computer repairs? Chihiro here is a computer programmer. Maybe they should meet sometime?

He can have one then! :3

And yes, she is sort of the obligatory computer nerd/hacker of the series. She has to at least know some programming since we see her repairing an AI (the Buffybot), so sure! I'll keep an eye out for him.

Yay!

XD Chihiro is the same! He's the super programmer/hacker at this school for gifted children and created his own 'strong' AI programme version of himself, his 'Alter Ego'. Oh, and he's a very convincing crossdresser though he to protect himself. He's tiny for his age and was constantly bullied for being a weak boy so he decided disguise himself as a girl and it worked. People now protect him instead of bully him since they think he's a little girl...

Taiki would love a torch flashlight because dark is scary but don't tell Eridan because he will laugh ;;
