Event: The Tower is Forever; Start

[animusmods]

As midnight washes over the Tower, there is a near-imperceptible pause in certain characters' actions (those sensitive to time, space, and anomalies in general may notice this). These characters will now believe they are years, maybe centuries, in the future. If they have aged, anyone who happens to be looking directly at them with a good eye for observation may see them blink in and out of vision for a moment--they may believe they were simply catching themselves blinking or hallucinating that--and suddenly appear much older than they were only a half a second before.

All characters will believe they are correct in how long they have been in the Tower and anyone who says otherwise is being affected by something the Tower administration is doing. Network posts will not display dates during this time period.

This event will last until January 19, 11:59PM EST. Have fun!

QUESTIONS

Does this event affect dates logged in a paper and ink book?

[colonial]

It wouldn't stop characters from writing down what date they believe it is, no. Anything dated before this will just be something affected characters think was written a long time ago.

[midgarhorizon]

Excellent. Thanks!

Quick one: with the changes that characters experience according to how long they think they've been in the tower, would their possessions change for the event? Like, Legolas would wear a gold ring by then.

[colonial]

It's okay to within reason have them have items they would have made/acquired over the years. These items will disappear after the event.

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

That works! Many thanks!

Is it all right to use this account for event affected Ryoji? He is the Avatar now, but because the Tower is lol invincible, Nyx has kind of given up on ending the world and is just being a jaded old woman, basically.

[animusmods]

You can use the account in replies if you want! Initial posts have to come from the main journal you use, though.

Sure thing, thank you!

Re: QUESTIONS

[geometry]

If a character thinks they have gained magical skills during their 'timeskip', will they still be able to perform them during the event, even if their current self isn't actually capable of it yet?

[colonial]

They can't gain new skills but they can develop skills they already had/their species already has that they would have gained with age anyway.

Very good, very good. Thanks~
