Commonly known as a body swap event, this glitch is something of an "aftershock" from the Boogie Wonderland glitch!

( spinny gif )

But that totally means that you have to figure out just who you're switching with right!?

Use this post to find a partner for the event or sign up for the RNG and get ready to have some fun! 8D

Have your characters had fun looking for Ai? Have they changed their mind? Finally, we're revealing the real facts about the NPC Ai so that you as players can decide what direction you want the game to go in.

Revealing Ai
Ai is an NPC created by the Mysterious Boy NPC (Fantoche) before he was reprogrammed by the Programmer as a troubleshooting and repair program for the glitches. The Mysterious Boy program was recently reprogrammed by the Programmer to allow his intentions to override the safety of the system. Because the Programmer didn't realize that Ai had been created before he reprogrammed Fantoche, the security inputs to control her were wiped from Fantoche's programming and she became an uncontrollable element.

This means that her programming is set to fight off glitches and stabilize the programming, eliminating any threats that might potentially cause more glitches (including shadows) and defending the purpose of the afterlife and make a safe place for people to move on.

Because she is uncontrollable, The Programmer wants her returned and that's what this whole thing has been about. What it comes down to now is whether or not characters are going to turn Ai in. The choice will have different repercussions ICly, which is why it's important to discuss ahead of time. It can be discussed ICly because who gets a hold of Ai will be determined by an RNG pool. If the decision is yes, turn her in, then it will be from a pool of characters who wanted to turn her in. If the decision is no, keep her away from the Programmer, then it will be from a pool of characters who do not want to turn her in (who can then decide what to do with her ICly from there).

OPTION: Turn Her In
Turning her in will, of course, offer the world building option. One arena of anything that your character would ICly request, the character who gets to choose being chosen by the RNG. This is what the Programmer wants, and therefore what the Mysterious Boy NPC has as his current goal. This will mean the game goes more slice-of-life and glitch-type events for a little while as well. Ai as an NPC will also be significantly less prominent, with only a small role in the game's future.

OPTION: Protect Ai
Protecting Ai means that the characters will have to deal with the Programmer and Fantoche more extensively in the upcoming months and will also not be able to take the world building opportunity. It will mean less glitches, but also provide characters with access to the Angel Player program and Ai as a means to fight against shadows and the Programmer. What characters do with Ai once they have her is up to IC behavior after they manage to protect her. This also means that shadows will continue to hold a prevalent role on the surface and make "random battles" a commonplace event for characters. Slice-of-life and glitch-type events will be limited for a period of time.

OPTION: Other?
If you have another option that you would like to bring to the table, please feel free to bring it up as well and comment here to have it added to the poll that will go up on Monday, March 17th. If your option wins, we will list potential in-game consequences on the poll post so that everyone knows what will result and will be able to make an informed decision.

---

So go forth, discuss, and make sure that you have your decisions ready for the poll on Monday the 17th! The poll will only run for a short period (through the 19th) and Ai will be continually active as an NPC starting the 17th as the Dark Allies event starts. For more details on the Dark Allies event, please check out the Monthly Events Post.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask a moderator here to guarantee the fastest response possible!

Here's the event's description so you don't have to go back and forth between the last post:

Monday, July 8th through Wednesday, July 19th

AND NOW, you may begin plotting! Here's a simple little form to help organize everything, so comment in response to this post with your plotting stuff and tag other people with ideas, funtime, all sorts of stuff!

Character: Name of your character
Username:
Memory(/ies) Up for Viewing: You may have more than one! Just don't go overboard and have your whole character's life on there. You may provide clips on youtube, written descriptions, whatever you want. Max 3 per character, though more than one person may see the memory-- up to you. If it's something that requires content warning(s), give the appropriate one in bold before/after memory description or in the link text.
Preferred Medium: Do you want your character's memory to be strictly audio? Shown on a computer screen? Specify it here, or otherwise it's up to you and the player of the receiving character to decide how it should be done.

Repeat the form for each character participating, though you may put them all in one comment! Then go comment around and grab other characters you might want to see your character's memories or for specific memories you might want to see. Remember though: Players have the right to refuse if they don't want your character seeing their character's memory for IC reasons (like it would totally ruin their friendship forever and ever and you don't want that yet, but you put it up because you want a different character to absolutely hate them or something along those lines).

Again, this is just a guideline, so if you want to post it in another format go for it (except for the content warning things, make sure you do that no matter what if they're necessary). Okay, go forth, plot, and have a good day!

Yurippe was planning on doing this anyway, but I wanted to get everyone together for plotting because Yuri wants to have the SSS head off to Guild to get weapons. Since there are boobytraps everywhere, she's going to attempt to get everyone in by swimming down the river (yes with the master of the river) and enter that way with a lot less booby traps.

So that we can coordinate, I wanted to ask you guys:

A) Which SSS members are going to be available for this event? (aka who wants to participate?)
B) Anything in particular you'd like to happen during it? We can totally plot some fun stuff.
C) Any questions?

Basically I'll be putting an open log up for this with specifics to SSS members and they're going to go try to get weapons left over in Guild and turn the tables on these shadow things (at least that's the plan). If your character got NPC'd Yuri probably wouldn't try to drag them along so that they're safe, but other members of the SSS might have a different idea and she won't stop them. That way if you're NPC'd and you still want to participate there's a way!

I'll probably post the log on Saturday (5/4) or Sunday (5/5)?

G-GL-G-GLITCH: November's event this month is the first glitch in the afterlife! This glitch is going to run similarly to a little book that some of you might know called Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. On November 18th there are going to be crazy levels of clouds and around lunch time, then suddenly break out into rice-rain.

The first rain of rice will be in honor of the Japanese holiday Labor Thanksgiving, based on the original harvest festival that was celebrated by the Emperor of Japan making the season's first offering of freshly harvested rice to the gods, then eating himself.

After that, it's just going to be having all kinds of crazy food-laden weather. Snowing ice cream, a tornado whipping up cotton candy, fish stick rain, in the mornings there will be fog that's made out of drinks-- everything else is up to you guys as long as we remember that the first hour or so is rain! The weather can be different in different areas, too, so there's no real limit!

RP EVENT LOGS UPDATE: Every month from now on, there will be a log put up for just random events around the afterlife! There will be various events all across the afterlife that are pretty much just everyday sorts of things, dorm meeting areas, stuff like that so that there's an open log to increase interaction. The log for this month will go up on Sunday!

That's it! If you have any questions, comments, or want to plot feel free to use this post!

Greetings Afterlifers! Now, I know you're all super curious to know what the first non-starter event of the game is right? Right!?

Yeaaah, I can hear the cheers already! Okay, so it's not a super-crazy event, it's more of a fun game sort of thing in the spirit of Halloween.. without actually being Halloween related at all. This is actually going to be a sort of character-run event. After discovering that, yes, there is a town now the SSS has elected to introduce everyone to it by throwing a dinner party at the restaurant!

( What mysteries lie ahead? )

That's about it! This event will take place on OCTOBER 28, 2012! There will be a large log for it, though you are always welcome to make posts as well. Go ahead and use this post for questions, plotting, and signing up!

EVENT DATE: Sunday, 9/30/2012
EVENT TYPE: Opening event

SCHOOL FESTIVAL
When everyone wakes up for the first time in the afterlife (when the game starts), it might not be a normal day. That's right, it's time for a school festival. The entire campus is buzzing with activity! A flurry of fun is sweeping through the school! There may not be an explanation for why or how your character is here just yet, but there are a lot of other things going on hosted by different classes and clubs!

( What kinds of fun you will find is below.. )

It's a pretty simple event, just for fun, and for your characters to be even more confused about when waking up-- especially since none of the NPCs will respond in a way that says anything about what's going on. Heck, they might even recognize your character as a classmate despite that your character hasn't met them and rope them along into helping out with an event. This is kind of a "throw them into the flame" sort of starter event, but it'll definitely be fun!

That said, if you've got any questions about the event or would like to plot or express excitement, feel free to comment on this post!
