Hullo, lovely, precious, ADORABLE puppets poly members! Rosiel-player here - and how are we this fair evening? In a very…voracious disposition, hmmmmm? ^_^
Well, then, restrain your homicidal impulses no longer! After all, what do you have characters for, if not to exact utmost vengeance for your daily woes, anyway?
Read our extra-special, mod-approved Awaken-Your-Inner-Sociopath-While-Seeing-To-Your-Statuesque-Civic-Duty FAQ for MORE!
Get your character kidnapped, traumatized, just plain dazzled or - a personal favourite - WTFish. Because that state of extreme eye-pop ogling is healthy for’em, of course! And all for $4.99, with this special offer from YOUR local insane inorganic angel!
I. PREMISE
To be very, very succinct : Thursday, September 28, an statue of ice will be erected. It’ll represent Lanika - does anyone remember Lanika, by the by? Tall, white, purty? Cryptic messenger of the Gods? Well, she was the only ever-so-attainable figure of authority we could think of, so she sadly has to suffer for our lack of creativity. The statue will be around three-four feet high, made of highly diluted blood, iced all over - oh, and there’ll be a heart in there, too. ♥ < - see? Cute.
Naturally, this isn’t the fun part. At all. It’s the symbolic see-us-mock-the-City-Gods part, sure - but who cares about morals and ickle old symbolism, when YOUR character could be angsting / bleeding / muttering / mumbling ? Thought so.
-
II. SACRIFICE GROUPS
-
Now, as any good, respectable statue, the Lanika one will be …worshipped. As we all know, in any solid, extraordinary cult, you have sacrifices. Mock-sacrifices, this time around, but hey? Who’s complaining as long as heads are falling?
There’ll be Groups of Sacrifices that will be both paraded about in some semblance of chains / restraints, or actually…touched and endorsed in the Statue-Wants-Blood-Cookie ritual.
This would be a good time to differentiate between the Major Sacrifice Group and the Minor Sacrifice Groups.
For your characters: there will be NO difference. Technically, in the City World, everyone will be part of the Sacrifice Mass, and people will supposedly get chosen.
For you, the RPers: I make the distinction, so you know where it'd HURT to submit your chars.
Major Sacrifice Group = mainly canon fodder - NPCs.
Minor Sacrifice Group = see the ritual up close, go home, share the tale with the whole family
-
1. So who’s dying?
Essentially, the NPCs in the Major Sacrifice Group. They get ridiculed, tortured, butchered and, in an end, taken out of their misery. Yes, I know, doesn’t much pay to be Anon 846973, does it?
-
2. …what about displayed?
That’s the beauty - anyone can be part of the Minor Sacrifice Group. All it takes is to enlist (or plain have) your character be part of the…
-
III. KIDNAP RAIDS & MINOR SACRIFICE GROUPS
-
1. Bzuh…?
All too easy, all too simple. There’ll be kidnappings occurring this lovely evening and tomorrow. You can always claim your character was kidnapped - if you want them kidnapped by tonight, you can have them stored off somewhere, where they can rant to their hearts’ content. They’ll automatically pass on to the Minor Sacrifice Groups.
-
2. Rant…? So they’ll have access to their City LJs?
Permanently. The kidnappings will be done in rather a great haste, in more of an “all-you-can-eatgrab” fashion. No one is exactly going to break a nail to do a body search for journals.
However, just because they’re not necessarily the wisest of creatures when it comes to Please-Spoil-Our-Plans-Mr-Bond precautions does NOT mean that negligence will be entirely at play. Expect your character to be either blindfolded, tied up to an extent, chained, or, a personal favourite, drugged. Considering how exactly just what is happening is rather top notch info at the time being, I somehow doubt they’ll hear word of too many things - however, it’s perfectly decent to assume that they might realize something will be built, or that it involves the Carousel.
Meanwhile, drop hints to your char’s would-be-rescuers or their loved ones as to their location! Try to escape! Tell great tales of woe as to their kidnapping! Feel people up in the dark! Bemoan the lack of customer service!
((And why yes indeed, it’s quite all right to suppose characters might find themselves in the same Sacrifice Groups as other City residents - why not? Joint whining is FUN! ^_^ ))
-
IV. EXIT, STAGE…?
-
OK, suppose my char gets kidnapped - what next?
Once they’re in the Minor Sacrifice Group, they have three alternatives:
1. escapes! Minor Sacrifice Groups aren’t imperative to the ritual, so they won’t be severely guarded. More to the point, most City chars have some power or the other - employ it.
2. rescue parties! Remember those journals? How your char can hint to their loved ones as to their location, or the ritual? Suck the fellows dry of all their heroic sentiments!
3. be set free - if they’re children or especially innocent, they’ll be automatically released once the ritual is done with.
You can either have them escape before the Groups are taken in front of the Statue, or during the ritual, as you very much like.
-
V. We nurse kicked puppies back to health! We pay taxes! WE FIGHT CRIME!
-
To be sure, feel free to have your char try to stop the entire rampage. The more, the merrier, after all, regardless of the side of the barricade. Either attracted there because of the sight, repulsed by the bloodshed, unamused with having a close one kidnapped - whatever your reasons, you can always try to save played chars or NPCs from the Sacrifice Groups, DURING or BEFORE the ritual.
Go ahead, try to stop us. See if we care. ^_^
-
VI. EV0L OVERLORD PENSION PLAN
-
Got a character who’s not too adverse to the good ol’ blood and gore? Want him employed / just in it for kicks?
We have TONS of positions! From kidnappers, to carriers of foreboding sermons, to adjutants, butchers, what have you! If your character can do ANYTHING at all and doesn’t pay mind to insignificant details like morals, PLEASE contact us or reply or whatnot. (See Contact Info below)
-
VII. RITUAL ELABORATION
-
…well…uch… there’s not much that can be said here without spoiling the fun for everyone. The Statue's creation, in terms of City-time, will take roughly an hour, since our lovely, lovely Ice Master will be provided the substance for his craft - the area near the Carousel will be protected for the time, so no use trying to barge in. Afterwards, the Sacrifice Groups will be brought in, then Pyramid Head’s pretty service and the sermon (I’d love it if someone’s char would hold it, but if not, Rosiel can too) will begin, and…well…a lot of blood will be pouring.
Yes, the Statue will, indeed, melt.
Yes, there will be lots and lots of blood around and about.
Yes, it’ll be gory and terrible and fierce.
-
VIII. OTHER ISSUES
-
But I want my char in the Major Sacrifice Group!
Oh bless you, you sadist. Sure thing - but keep in mind the following three things:
1. no children, no innocents. Those among this group will have been sorely “checked” for tainting.
2. no trying to save NPCs, while your char is out and about, going down his/her merry way and out of there - that is, they can try, but it’s bond to get very ugly
3. it’s your job to get them out of there when things get a bit...messy...
Waaaaaaah! But I want them IN the Sacrifice Group, and IN the action, and up there WITH Pyramid Head down the chute AND AND AND-
…um. No. No, you don’t. Trust me.
On the other hand, if, for various masochistic reasons unknown, you’re very intent on it, PLEASE CONTACT ME. Do NOT get into this without knowing upfront what’s likely to happen, how it’ll affect your character, and what alternatives there are to this game. Check below for contact info.

INPUT :: CONTACT
-
1. How to “enlist” for this?
Either comment, or e-mail, or IM or…uch…see 2?
-
2. I have no time/ no energy/ no disposition / a severe case of hate-your-guts-like-woah and would rather not comment here - can my char still participate in the event?
By all means, this is certain to be a spectators’ sport. They can still be involved in one of the Minor Sacrifice Groups, if you’d so prefer it.

3. Contact Info for Extra Details
Alas, mine, all of’em:
AIM : ruxihehe
Y!M : ruxi_hehe(@yahoo.com)
MSN: cruor_sanctis@hotmail.com
…um. I would like to, er, make it clearer, since, well, I’ve had it happen before… I’m not like Rosiel, er, at all. You can call in at ANY TIME, and I shall LOVE to answer all and any questions, if within my ability.
If you read the whole post, you deserve a cookie. If you read the whole thing AND think there's info of relevance missing...shoot me. *tear*
ETA: if you have your chars post, could you perhaps add a wiiiiiiddle ooc note with a link to this post? Exposure is love, people! ♥
ETA II For the sake of coherence and organization, I'm making a list of what characters are doing what, just so the kidnapped / working units /whatnot can perhaps have a bit of fun with smaller, personal plots too? Anyway, list updated whenever I can / am online to do so! Have tried to list'em up alphabetically, so...
LIST = MOVED!
