Berserk World Change Plot: DAY ONE BEGINS

[berserkism.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Midland!

At the stroke of midnight, residents will abruptly find themselves in their rooms in the castle regardless where they were before, illuminated by torch-and-candle light. The interiors of their quarters are as lavish as ever, but catered to the setting instead of personalized as they had been before. There is no electricity, no hot running water, no more ghosts...

Instead, the halls are filled with the bustle of flesh-and-blood maids and castle staff moving about to cater to the whims of their "esteemed guests," all friendly and polite, eager to please.

Wardrobes are filled with clothing of the era, and any wishes for new adornments will be granted - in the fashion of the times, of course! Sorry. If you were hoping for a t-shirt and jeans, you'll simply have to adjust. Wishes for food or other accommodations will be delivered by the hired help instead of poofing into existence, as well - so be nice to those servants, would you? The elevators are now non-existent, and any sign of technology that surpasses the medieval era has been done away with.

On the ground floor, there is a new addition of a throne room - heavily guarded by soldiers who won't respond to prodding or inquiries. Any efforts to infiltrate/spy on/get through this door and into the throne room - regardless your character's powers - seems to be barred by the castle as if there is an invisible barrier surrounding it. Strange, isn't it...?

The town has been similarly changed - the City Royale is now a true, proper castle-town ala the picture above. The denizens seem happy-go-lucky, as if there's cheerful spirit in the air, and it's intoxicating! There's rumors of a festival tomorrow, and all the castle residents are invited. Taverns are abustle with music and dancing, bar wenches getting their bootays slapped by drunk off-duty soldiers and hardworking citizens alike. Any questions about what happened will be met with odd looks - whatever do you mean, Traveler?

This is Wyndym Castle, Midland - and it's always been this way.

Let's see how long it lasts, shall we?

OOC NOTES: PLEASE READ!

- Characters are NOT DEPOWERED YET. Demon characters will NOT BE NOTICING ANY CHANGES YET - this will occur on Saturday evening, after the surprise event, NOT NOW. There have been NO CHANGES to ANYONE yet! EXCEPTIONS ARE: robots, cyborgs, or other technologically-inclined creatures, who have been automatically turned human/animal/etc as per the previous posts.
- Technology HAS been depowered/altered to fit the setting. Please consult the prior plot posts if you're confused about what will/won't work!
- Your character has just woken up in their room in the castle! The ghosts are now human servants and will be delivering any wishes to you that you make from the castle, including performing services like cleaning something up for you or mending your clothing. They won't be very talkative, but very friendly and eager to please.
- The fields are grassy and lush. The wildlife is typical middle age-Europeon - foxes and squirrels and birds and rabbits and deer and wolves in the forests, cattle grazing in farmland a few miles down the road, etc. The tropical paradise is no more for this week.
- This world change only effects up to the Dead Zone, and does not go beyond it.
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here!
- Enjoy. ...OR ELSE.

That's going to be kind of hard...

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It's like a marathon run of the eeeeyes.

[echivoc.livejournal.com]

Damn anon, you must be evoking the popcorn.gif 24/7.

[nurse-boy.livejournal.com]

HI ANON

I am curious. I can't help it. Why so anon? *pokes you*

[wuthered.livejournal.com]

i need to ask where did you get that picture? it's gorgeous... /not relevant to the plot at all ROFL

[a-morris-md.livejournal.com]

I want to know, too, so I can start making plans to move there.

[priestish.livejournal.com]

I googled "medieval towns;" this one is - "Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a town about three hours (by regional trains anyway) northwest of Munich. It’s a medieval town with centuries of history that has remained largely intact – which is good considering it’s a tourist destination now."

I just got my post up for Lil' Slugger to come knock the shit out of Rory and send him on his brain vacation. He's asleep in bed having a nightmare and Slugger's going to come 'relieve' him of his inner wangst, and then Rory will be down for the count until Saturday. I edited my post to say that since he and Amy were asleep they didn't notice the world change around them--is that okay?

I'm just about done with my email detailing all the things you asked for; will talk more there!

*bounces with excitement*

Oh oh... and I was a lame-o and asked a question over IM. Derp. But, the answer was one I figured other people might want to know, so here it is along with Mako's answer:

Me: I know you said that guns would work, because they work in the Dead Zone, correct?
Me: My question is... do we even get (or can even wish for) our guns, if they are integral to our character (aka Faye)
Mako: i think it's sort of up to you? i don't see why not

So... bam! There you go. :3

[priestish.livejournal.com]

I NEVER SAID THAT

SHE'S MAKING IT UP ENTIRELY

ENTIRELY



disclaimer: no, no she isn't she's totally right

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Elektra is cross dressing the rest of this plot. Those corsets are not skimpy enough for her.

[luckyvalentine.livejournal.com]

Amen, sister. Can't a girl get a little midriff action around here?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I didn't ask this before because it's ... somewhat irrelevant/A MINOR DETAIL, but: cigarettes exist, y/n? According to the Wikipedias, they didn't hit Europe until the 19th century?

[echivoc.livejournal.com]

Seconding this inquiry!

[continuing.livejournal.com]

WOO, I totally forgot about this, but Asuka's Eva... would it be alright to say there's just like... a red-ish horse in its spot? MAMA GOT TURNED INTO A PONY, SWEET

[priestish.livejournal.com]

ROFL yes, that's totally fine :3

[shotapope]

Alessandro... won't really feel that much out of place in this setting. Hell, he doesn't even really need to change clothes if all he wears is vestments....

[milanobutterfly.livejournal.com]

Good point! Caterina and Alessandro can still wear their Vatican attire!

[merriment.livejournal.com]

HNNG.

Land, land, laaaand ♥

[no-bloody-lord.livejournal.com]

Mat's all "Huh? Something changed?"

[variare.livejournal.com]

And JUST TO BE CLEAR and spam you with one last question, because I know people have been going back and forth on it... Guns are allowed, as long as they aren't too modern? Like...revolvers are okay and such?

I'm totally fine with it if they're not, but I just want to be sure either way.

[berserkism.livejournal.com]

yeah - guns are allowed. old school - nothing like plasma cannons and the like.

[just-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Can talking animals still talk?

[berserkism.livejournal.com]

Not unless they're magic! ;O?

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssss.

[supes]

AHAHAHA. That picture has been on the Paradisa wikia under the City Royale for over a year and a half.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

SO NO CHANGES OCCURRED.

I knew I recognised that picture, lmao.

[thenewbat.livejournal.com]

SO HEY quick question.

Could Terry's Batsuit get turned into awesome medieval chainmail or some such? Or would it just disappear?

[berserkism.livejournal.com]

sure, that sounds good to me :3
