Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you guys know about a special event that's going to be happening during the time of Obon! On August 13, a special broadcast will be made by a creature called a Candleroid. He looks like this. Essentially, all those accessing the community at that time will have their screen/rag/book/whatever they access with overridden by this guy's image.
When someone looks into the Candleroid's flame, they get hypnotized by the fire and fall into a nightmare. For the community, this nightmare will be shared by all. During the nightmare, any fears that your character has will manifest. Afraid of spiders? Suddenly your character is being chased by a hundred of them like that scene in Harry Potter. Maybe an irrational fear of wide open spaces? Wow the setting appears to have revealed a giant field with nothing around for miles. Of course, if spider-fear character runs into open-space-fear character, suddenly that field might get flooded with spiders. At least there's plenty of space to run.
Because this may deal with many phobias, during the log we will require that you state any specific phobias in the subject line of the comment. If a new one appears, do the same thing. That way no one takes a dump in anyone's noodles and we're all happy-dappy with having funtastic fear-induced panic.
Injuries can be sustained in the nightmare and can show up in reality once the nightmare is over, but death will not occur because of the nightmare. So for example, say Character A gets bit by a zombie on their arm. When they wake up after the event is over, there'll be bruises from a bite mark on their arm. They won't be a zombie though, don't worry.
The log for this event will go up on August 13th and because it is a canon-based event, the event will end with the Go-Busters defeating the candleroid and turning everything back to normal. You may go ahead and use this post to discuss potential fears that you'd like to explore and work together to come up with some fun ideas. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy!
