PARADISA OOC

And that's the end of the Tokyo world change! I hope you guys had fun. At midnight EST (which already happened but whoops got distracted), Paradisa has returned to "normal."

General mass posts are still open, in case you missed them: one | two | three

I'll continue to backtag the final opt-in post as needed, but I am a bit slower during the week because of my work schedule, FYI!

I'll take any critique you may have for the world change or opt-in plot, too!

Plot Hub

Welcome to Tokyo
16 JULY through 22 JULY

On 16 July, Paradisa will go through another of its Paradisa-famous world changes. Previously, the castle has brought its residents to Paris, Los Angeles, and other Earth cities. This time, instead of being brought to a thoroughly modern, early 21st century city, Paradisa residents will find them in Tokyo during the late 1980s.

Residents will wake up in a luxury hotel replete with 1980s comfort (color TVs! VCRs!) and standard hotel amenities (swimming pool, hot tub, etc). The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Tokyo, where residents can explore video arcades and pachinko parlors, go shopping, find restaurants, catch a baseball game (go Swallows!), or get drunk and sing karaoke. Of course, they can just explore the city or hang out at the hotel too!

There will be three open posts during this plot: Day One, Day Three, and Day Seven. There will be four opt-in posts. For more information on the opt-in plot, please see below.

What happens to non-human characters?
Non-human characters (robots, sentient animals, demons, elves, etc) must either be turned human or into a normal Earth animal. Alternately, you can opt them out of the week entirely by turning them into a potted plant or a toy or something inanimate.

What about magic powers? How about advanced tech?
Magic powers will not work for the duration of this plot. An exception is, naturally, the magic journals. Technology of any level will work, however. A basic rule of thumb is if it can be explained by science, it'll work; if it's supernatural or magical on any level, it won't.

OPT-IN
Not exciting enough for you? There is an opt-in portion of this plot that is heavily action-oriented. Because of the nature of the opt-in portion, please only sign up one character per player. They don't have to be a super competent action hero, just make sure they can take direction from the people who are better suited to fighting!

The opt-in portion will occur on Sat., 20 July, and Sun., 21 July (Days 5 and 6), so please make sure you are available for at least a good portion of this time. Of course, backtagging is encouraged! Sign up by commenting here.
