Event: The Tower is Forever

[animusmods]

Beginning on January 13, residents of the Tower may wake up thinking the date is wildly different than it really is--sort of. Oh, it's definitely January 13, but is it five years later? Ten years? A hundred? A thousand? Tower residents affected by this event will believe they have been in the Tower much longer than they really have been. How much longer? It depends. Characters will believe they have been in the Tower long enough for that period of time to have significant weight to it. For a regular human child maybe this is just a handful of years, but for some of the longer-lived members of the population they may believe they've been trapped in the Tower for hundreds or thousands of years. Everyone will realize those around them are acting strangely, but those affected by the event will believe they're the ones who have the right date.

Characters who age may age as appropriate for their species. Personalities, of course, may have been altered by the length of time they believe they've been in the Tower as well. Are they still fighting? Have they given up hope entirely? Has living in such a warped place warped their morals to match?

This event will last from January 13th to January 19th. Please do not make any IC posts relating to the event until that time.

oops now in the right place

I hope the wording of this makes sense, it doesn't really even affect me directly but I'm curious to know: if an immortal character believes that it's been hundreds or thousands of years, how would they handle mortal characters who should be dead from their standpoint? Would they be able to see them for the event and be really confused as to why they're suddenly alive and young again or would they perceive them as ghosts/voices/something along that line? On that note, is it even possible to die of old age in the tower?

They would believe the Tower has been keeping them alive, though they would not know how.
