Beyond the Dome - [OPEN TO ALL]
Who: Open to All (As of June 16th)
Where: OUTSIDE the city.
When: From the 9th until the early morning of the 23rd.
Summary: New arrivals find themselves in areas unexplored as the others search for them
Warnings: Depends on the players!
Music: This one | Map: Here | Additional Info: First mod post here | Second most post forthcoming.
FOR NEW VISITORS
You remember the words of the strange, butterfly-masked man. You can here to protect a city, correct? And yet... you seem to be nowhere near one. Perhaps he meant that city in the far off horizon, barely seen against a reflecting shield of glass?
Either way, you don't feel safe around here. Maybe it's a hunch, but you need to move and get somewhere safe. Before whatever is lurking around notices you.
The problem is... where should you go?
FOR THE RESCUERSDOWN UNDER
The teleporter worked!
...Except you're not exactly sure where you landed. Thankfully, you have a map that will update as you go, courtesy of the MAGI. It does appears to be working, so now its a question of snooping around....wait what was that noise?
Make sure you've noticed where the teleporters are located. You wouldn't want to get stuck in this strange outside world...
[☿ Mercury Zone]
NEW VISITORS ONLY
You have a feeling that the city you need to protect is not the one in ruins around you. Otherwise, it's already destroyed.
EVERYONE
The stench of death is everywhere, from the cracked buildings to the water-logged homes missing their ceilings. Still, it's some form or protection against the elements, and there's sure to be canned food around here.
The cold, chilly air at night gets to your bones, but during the day, the hot weather makes you seek shade.
[♀ Venus Zone]
EVERYONE
There is forest all around you, the trees hiding most of the sun. What you an see, the crystal-like shell of the barrier (not that you know it's a barrier) to Hinoto-Ri spans high into the sky. There's nothing to restrict your view here, otherwise. The climate is surprisingly warm if humid.
Maybe you should try to get out, or build a shelter. Either way, best not to stay too long before something finds you...
[♂ Mars Zone]
EVERYONE
It's hot. Way too hot. You look around, with nothing but sand and dry bones scattered around you. not to far the sand dips inward, cracks of shining crystals that turn out to be salt hinting that this may have been a bit of salt water before everything evaporated.
Perhaps it would be best not to stay here for long. Nothing looks edible. There seems to be water on one side, and on the far horizon, you can spot a cavern.
Hopefully it's not caused by the heat. Let's start walking.
[♃ Jupiter Zone]
EVERYONE
Giant mountain full of jagged sharp rocks that reach high into the sky rise in front of you. When you turn, you notice a city, but a crystal-like substance stops you from being able to go inside, no matter how hard you try pressing on it.
There's only on area you can go through. The metal and stone bridge that goes right through the middle is interesting, though. It looks like the remains of a rail system. Just be careful where you step, as the way down does not look in any way safe. Those crevices could kill a person if you fell down...
[♄ Saturn Zone]
EVERYONE
Snow. There's so much snow. The temperature is cold, maybe in the middle of winter, but it's the winds that snap at your skin, making you shiver. You need better covering. Yet despite the weather conditions, you spot a city in the far off horizon. Maybe you could make it in a few hours. It's better than just standing here, right?
[♅ Uranus Zone]
EVERYONE
You're surrounded by pieces of desolate abandoned city, the buildings crumbling but still standing. Skyscrapers, upturned cars, fallen road signs hint that this was once a bustling city but whatever happened to it must have hit hard...
Plants grow around each abandoned area, appearing to have become giants for several decades already... yet despite your worst fears, not a single remain of dead human skeletons can be found.
But something is off. Why is the plant floating in the air? There's a car flickering as if it's glitching. Things begin to whisper in your ear, laughing and giggling. Sometimes you swear you heard something move...
[♆ Neptune Zone]
EVERYONE
It's humid, but not unpleasant. A giant body of water as far as the eye can see gently rocks its waves upon the sandy beach. Plants are growing around you, and you can easily spot fruits that are edible such as apples and avocado.
Yet there's an odd urge to explore the water. Maybe you could go take a dip...
[♇ Pluto Zone]
EVERYONE
Rocky mountains greet you at your arrival The giant mountain range reaches into the sky, as high as the crystal-like barrier protecting the city, blocking you from being able to go inside.
You spot caverns farther down ahead, but it might take you a few hours to get there. Best be on alert...
[OOC: Hello new and returning characters alike! While characters will not know the zone names, we've provided you with a map to aid you moving around.
Keep in mind a few things:
▶ Pick the zone you want to appear in! It's entirely up to you.
▶ For newcomers coming into via this plot, each zone has a giant red X. This is where your character will appear in that zone. After that, they'll need to walk/fly/swim around. Maybe they'll get lucky and find tools to help them.
▶ For those using the teleporter, the blue summoning circles are where your charatcer appears. These lead back to the central MAGI building located under town hall.
▶ Monsters can show up during your posts from time to time
▶ The zones colors indicate how dangers the areas are. Also keep in mind that once your character hits an orange and red zone, persona and canon powers steadily begin to decline each hour. After a day, they are unable to use their powers until they return to the yellow and green zones, whereupon it will take an hour for all their powers to come back in full.
▶ Characters will be stuck here until at least the 15th, minimum, so feel free to have them move around! It takes about 5 to 12 hours to move from one zone to another in full, depending on the temperature and terrain.
▶ Your character may end up finding items and possessions from their world. Mods will be watching the threads and adding descriptions and items as we go along.
▶ Characters do NOT have their COMP system upon arrival, even if they were here before; everything is stuck inside the city right now! So you do not have a means of communication if you don't speak the same language for now, time to use those pantomiming skills you've been working on (probably).
▶ If a new character crosses someone who's already lived in the city, they will be able to share their watch with them for translation purposes until they return to the city.
▶ We suggest showing up in the same area as someone else to have a better chance of survival. Not that characters will die (as it is permadeath in this game) but the state of the characters until next week when rescue begins may be less... healthy than others if you throw caution in the wind.
▶ This being said, we won't make life too hard for you. If we see your character struggling, we'll provide them with something so they don't die two days into exploring either.
▶ There are surprises and clues waiting in certain areas.
▶ Please have fun, and enjoy the game!]

[With the dim light they have, sticking to the cave walls is going to be a wise course of action, and right now Mitsuhide feels it would be safest if he were the one to direct them and Motochika kept watch of their backs.]
I'll lead.
[There is a slight hint of firmness to the young samurai's voice as he takes the first step into the case and places one hand against the stony surface to his right.]
no subject
[Motochika has no qualms about following his friend's lead faced with that insistence. He knows that it is the better choice: Mitsuhide's swordplay is less disruptive and Mitsuhide's katana is sheathed when not being wielded, which frees both of Mitsuhide's hands for touch-based exploration unlike Motochika's own shamisen. Taking cue from Mitsuhide, he shifts close to the right wall too.]
no subject
[In here, a slow and cautious pace is better. This is a relief in many ways; the previous few hours had been taxing on their already worn bodies, so taking things step-by-step is almost a break. Mitsuhide knows better than to think they'll find water and a suitable place for sleeping very quickly, even in his current state of mind, but a part of him dares hope that proper rest will come sooner than later.]
[He needs to clean Motochika's wound, after all... well. The area where the wound should have been.]
Do you... [Mitsuhide trails off from his hesitant question as he walks slowly, thinking for a moment before continuing with a different question. No. Practical matters and only practical matters for now.] Do you have any cave experience, my Lord?
no subject
[One audible huff of breath conveys Motochika's challenge alone, as they proceed slowly. He knows that is not what Mitsuhide wanted to ask; he can easily guess at the subject Mitsuhide awkwardly avoids. But now is not the right time to press his friend too far. Instead there are older, happier memories that he chooses to invoke.]
Have I not personally shown you every nook and cranny of Tosa's cliffs?
no subject
[The shadows it casts are notable; these are not smooth walls.]
That's not the same as having experience with caves, Lord Motochika, and you know it to be so.
[Mitsuhide smiles faintly; there is no kind of happiness in that smile, but it is hidden from any eyes regardless. He traces his fingers across a particularly sharp bump.]
no subject
My island has its share of mountains, but caves do not suit me.
[He concedes.
While Mitsuhide acts as their eyes moving forward, Motochika concentrates on listening as he follows his friend's lead.]
no subject
A very unique bat you are.
[A bat who doesn't suit a cave... it's a touch of humour, but Mitsuhide lapses into silence quickly afterwards, afraid of what he might say if he continues to talk right now. Step by step, onwards they go, and eventually the light from the entrances is quickly swallowed up.]
[So far, so good... if good it can be called. There have been no breaks in the cave walls for ten minutes or so, but that surely won't be the case for too long. Mitsuhide can hear... something. It's a repetitive sound, very faint, but clear enough to know he isn't imagining it.]
What does that sound like, to you? [He asks with a whisper.]
