This week, a high-pitched whining noise can be heard by children and those sensitive to high-pitched sounds. It doesn't seem to cause any harm, but it is annoying. It seems the microchips placed about the Tower are doing something, and there is some sort of wireless signal in the Tower that wasn't there before, although it cannot be used for anything at the moment.
In June, the situation will become clear--and besides that, Ruana will want to play a game of monsters.
In this game, certain characters will be selected at random from those who sign up to become one of five monsters: the laughing monster, the crying monster, the screaming monster, the growling monster, and the apathetic monster. This will be based on the emotions your character displays most often. These monsters will attack the populace at night, and must be eliminated. The catch? They're only monsters at night, they have no idea they're a monster while they're normal, and there are special rules to killing them.
During the day, all monsters are their normal selves, completely unaware of what they transform into at night. During the night, they warp into frightening beasts with abilities related to but not always exactly the same as those they might have during the day, wanting nothing more than to kill as many people as possible. Anyone who is attacked can try to defend themselves, of course, but if someone signed up for the event kills a monster at night, the monster revives and they turn into a monster as well.
So they must, without fail, be killed as their normal selves during the day to put an end to the game. Even if they're your best friend. Even if they're your child. For monsters created by the first set, it's just that easy: identify them during the day and kill them. But for the first five monsters, there is an additional condition unique to each character that must be met.
Whatever it is, that requirement has to be met. Maybe they simply want someone, anyone, to stop them. Maybe they want a challenging fight. Maybe they want someone specific to save them. Meet that requirement during the day and you'll kill the monster properly. Don't meet it, and you become a monster yourself.
As for the monsters, don't worry--you may not remember your nightly adventures while they're happening, but once you've been killed or the game ends, all the memories will be returned to you.
Players may sign up one character for this game, and have until 11:59 PM June 1 to do so. We will select the initial monsters at random from those who wish to have a chance at becoming a starting monster. If you wish to have the option to be selected for this, fill out your character's special requirement; if you do not wish to be a starting monster, don't fill it out. If you wish to be a starter monster be sure you will be available in June. You must sign up here to participate even if you don't want to have your character be a starter monster.
All monster players are to keep their character's status as a monster secret as much as they can. While of course you can inform your CR that your character wouldn't be around for their normal early morning training or would be busy at night, please don't outright announce your character's status to anyone. All sign ups are screened.

If I was a monster so repulsive even I wanted to stop myself, I would need ... before I could stop.
