Event Start

[mallowmods]

As Tronctor's report predicted, there's a disturbance throughout the nation due to the portals, which connect the worlds, settling. However, this is very much a welcome disturbance to Mallow Hallow, as the energies drawn from the far off worlds are allowing this world to flourish, and each district will find its corresponding foreigners to be blessed with a thematic power.

Plaza: Lochwell Power ▶ To create and close portals. Characters may summon portals at will to traverse around the district, though they'll find the ability to travel long distances shortens in other districts. It is most effective in Lochwell, especially near the castle. However, characters cannot warp into the castle. Drawback ▶ Portals require the most energy to use than any other ability in the event, and will thus sap ordinary characters of their vitality with a mere one or two uses at the beginning. One must be careful; fatigue can be dangerous. District 1: Mallowhallow Power ▶ To give life to pillows (Lumbiee loves his pillows very much). Make human pillows, make animal pillows, make all and every pillows the imagination can spin into existence. Drawback ▶ Overusing a particular pillow will cause it to become less soft and start changing into rocks. Don't hurl them at other characters. That's rude. District 2: Orlea Power ▶ To fly. Not hover, but full on out fly. Locals will be especially surprised by this ability, given that no one and nothing in Mallow Hallow is yet able to fly so high and far. Drawback ▶ Overuse will ground the character, whether gradually or in spurts, and it's possible the power may suddenly "turn off" mid-flight. There's probably only the cement below, so characters should be cautious, unless they wish to crack their head open on the ground (Lea would rather not have to call the cleanup crew for that). District 3: Astralfield Power ▶ To form "dreams" in a conscious state. With great concentration, a character may summon the object, person, and more of their thought. This is much like the creations of dreams at night. Drawback ▶ Overuse results in rapid fatigue and induces the user to a nap, during which their dreams will not be formed in the district. Given the nature of the ability, it is very easy to tire from exertion; the more ambitious the "dream," the worse the strain. District 4: Crystalden Power ▶ To channel energy into what is man-made. Be them computers, chairs, or even spoons—whatever is "made" in Crystalden may receive energy imparted from the user and will gain sentience. Their actions will be determined by the user's will. Drawback ▶ Overuse results in loss of control; for example, overdoing it with a computer and compelling it to set itself on fire will earn the culprit a highly enraged message from Tronctor, Mallow Hallow's father of technology. This, of course, can bear dangerous consequences as well if the sentient objects were to run wild. District 5: Highcrest Power ▶ To become strong at will. Users, no matter how frail or otherwise weak, will be able to amplify their physical strength to tremendous degrees. The stack of bricks, the horse, even the house—users will be powerful enough to move just about anything (just not the castle; Joy will stick a sword in whoever tries). Drawback ▶ Overuse leads to uncontrollable anger and general bad mood that may or may not send the district community into utter cacophony. Even the closest of friends may be torn apart by their declining temperament. Fine control over the strength will waver as well, and it's entirely possible a possession or two might accidentally break in a character's hold. District 6: Whitewood Power ▶ To nurture. Plants, trees, flowers, anything of a natural background may be compelled to grow in mere seconds. This will not work on other characters. Drawback ▶ Overuse will also nurture an inherent God complex that'll, in other words, bloat a character's ego to disagreeable levels. It's also possible to "overgrow" nature and kill it with hastened old age, which can bear natural and IC consequences on the fairies' end. The event starts today (Sunday), a day after Queenis' backdated announcement, though she welcomes ICly late replies. The event will come to a close next Sunday at 11:59 PM EST. Questions, comments, and plotting threads may all take place in this entry.

Note: We apologize for the delay in applications. They will be processed sometime today, on the 7th, once the mod in charge comes back.

Question!

[smallskull]

Can the portals transport things/people besides the user? If so, could one hypothetically be used to cut things in half? By pushing something halfway through and then closing it while the other half is still in its original location, for instance.

[mallowmods]

With practice, yes. However, transporting things or other people will deplete the user's energy faster.

[smallskull]

Thanks!

[prosecutory]

Can characters discover their super powahz in...well, any way conceivable? Like by accident?

...in other news hahaha this is going to be good and bad for Edgeworth at the same time. On one hand, NO WHY AM I IN THE AIR. On the other, he could always fly and avoid earthquakes now...I think.

[mallowmods]

Yes! Go right on ahead. Make Edgeworth suffer.

[prosecutory]

I love you guys. Thanks!

[roulette_vampire]

and by wonderful i mean terrible

are you ready for a totema until telma falls to sleep??? A GOD OF... DRAINING MP???

[ex_protegere334]

Question. So with Mallowhallow would Sophie here be able to make pillows of her friends back home?

[mallowmods]

Sorry for the delay, but yes! She'd be able to do that.

[ex_protegere334]

Awesome! I was just wanting to check before I put up a log, thanks mods!

QUESTION!

[insufficient_half]

for Astralfield with the manifestation of dreams, is it possible to manifest people, for example, Ichiru is obsessed with a Pureblood Vampire by the name of Shizuka Hiou. He dreams about her I'm sure.

Would it be possible to manifest her in Astralfield and how would they behave as manifested beings from dreams if that's allowable?

[mallowmods]

It would be possible to manifest her, though the manifestation would be noticeably "incomplete"; something about her may look off, she may be mute (etc.), and she wouldn't be capable of independent behavior. What he "dreams" of her is all she will be able to do. Basically, she wouldn't function like a standalone character that's being played.

[xroyal_bratx]

ah so it would be as if she were a puppet being moved by how Ichiru wants her to and how he thinks of her in his dreams?

[mallowmods]

Yup, that's exactly it!

[xroyal_bratx]

okay, thank you so much for the clarification1!
