PLOT

✗ The weather isn't the only thing sporadic this week— that's because curse 31 is upon us, and it's pretty inconvenient. In fact, the curse seems to be comprised of inconveniences itself— all throughout the week characters will be plagued by a lot of minor inconveniences that just don't seem to stop. It is up to the players to decide what most of these inconveniences will be, but there are a few specific ones that will happen every two days regardless: MONDAY ↪ On Monday there will be a mass power outage within the bubble from 7-9PM. All the more inconvenient due to it being during the night— hope you're not out and about at this time! The SFCs will be unaffected, but everything else in the bubble that runs on power will be shut down during that time. No street lights, no elevator, no microwave for that instant dinner you were planning to have. Deal. WEDNESDAY ↪ For some reason, the magic that allows for everyone to understand each other regardless of original language is glitching. During conversations, you might notice that you're speaking an entirely different language against your will. This is a language glitch, so it isn't 100%— the glitch might happen for one conversation, then wear off for another. It is also possible for the glitch to completely babelfish a reply halfway through FRIDAY ↪ And now the SFCs are malfunctioning. Text colors and fonts, the ability to filter, and message options will all be victim to this. You might suddenly find that your messages are being sent in hot pink, or that a message you had privated to someone ended up in another person's inbox. If you encrypt something, it only has a 50% chance of staying that way. If you meant to post in voice, you might end up posting in video against your intentions. Half of your message is cut off or your message is jumbled up in all the wrong order? That will be happening too. Once again, you are allowed to freestyle your own minor inconveniences all throughout the week— little things, such as having a lightbulb blow out, losing your SFC, or tripping on a banana. The ones listed above are simply 3 mandatory ones that will happen regardless.

As always, if there are any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to post below or contact Cal, Dees or Thorny!

OKAY. YES. I FINALLY GET TO DO THIS.

Gamzee is going to suffering from troll chickenpox throughout the week. Itching, weird spots, the works. It won't be contagious to humans, just trolls --don't need an epidemic here-- but, uh, if any trolls want to catch it too, feel free?

[unconchonable]

DONT YOU GET HIM SICK YOU INFECTIOUS CLOWN

[f8tal]

yes good

[aim_exorable]

Does Alternian count as a separate verbal language or what... Hmmm. They were able to understand one another on the meteor but maybe that is weird Game magic or something.

Darnit, Homestuck.

[halfhearted]

I bet it's weird game magic. So guessing they would be chatting in alternian *^*

OR texting in it at least. Could be fun.

[420]

I am totally counting it as a separate verbal language. Man, would they have different alternian dialects too?

[fulmination]

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST THING EVER

[halfhearted]

And then Vani is going to tease about the little pictures appearing in the text messages.

[dragongrass]

Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh. Can these language problems manifest as horribly babelfish'd english? I want to have conversations in awful fansub.

[messianic]

Absolutely they can! Go for it. B) I want to see this.

[handshakegreeting]

AW YEAH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JAPANESE TO ENGLISH SHENANIGANS--

but wait what about those keybearers who are like "nope I can still understand you because of Keyblade powah"?

[handshakegreeting]

also what is using much power anyway

[ex_fintastic398]

SFCs malfunctioning you say? Text glitches you say? Bring it on.

[halfhearted]

[busstopsign]

Welcome to this new life Shinjiro, the first post you will write will be in bright pink sparkletext.

[angelphones]

Eyup.

Also I get to bug you with a different headphones protag than the one he's used to WHEE.

[ladyinscarlet]

Hi guys! I saw you updated the tags list, but I'm still missing one for Madame Red at caughtinanetwork. Thanks! <3

[thalassino]

The tag is present under madame red (angelina durless). I hope that is not a problem? I can replace it with a different name order if you like.

[tinypinkmenace]

Uuum, I was wondering. Would all of your left shoes disappearing be a minor inconvenience?

[thalassino]

Yes, that would qualify!

[emitslife]

Moooost excellent, considering Chidori's intro tomorrow will be her own inconvenience and not having a SFC what is everyone talking about...........

This is a fun thing to come into.

[dreamchasing]

Gas or Electric stoves in Vatheon?

[thalassino]

The stoves and ovens are all electric.
