Hi guys, Waffle here, and I had an idea for an event that I'd like to run past everyone.
What if we ran multiple viruses at the same time? Like, five viruses at once, some people getting affected by all five. So, for example: animal virus, gender virus, alignment virus, family virus, and falling in love with a random person virus.
If we take, say, Rufus for example, he might turn into a small female rabbit who was perhaps happy and cute and completely evil but was head over heels in love with Axel and thought that Toph was his father.
It would only last for a couple of days, of course, as per usual, but obviously the epic insanity would be epic. The lead-up, however, would take longer.
You see, given the community's habit of only pushing out virus per month, Yuuko (the dimension witch, remember?) has come to the conclusion that (and here's where I start getting fake technical) the community, as a point in time and space where worlds collide, creates energy as a result of that meeting point. The energy gives the community some degree of sentience, but also builds up dangerously. To release the energy, the community creates the viruses, which, though extremely annoying and potentially dangerous to sanity and reputation, are really rather tame compared to some of the other possibilities.
Maybe after a particularly rough virus, some of the community members decide they've had enough and go ask Yuuko to end the viruses forever. Yes, Yuuko could do it, she says, but she needs the help of every single community member as part of the price.
The price: Total community silence for a day or two (maybe longer, it doesn't matter as you'll see later). No posting on the comm at all. This is actually necessary for her to be able to do this properly: posting actually causes ripples in the built up energy, and to get rid of the build-up, Yuuko has to gather it all together in one big mass first. If there is posting on the comm, then the ripples, no matter how slight, would cause an imbalance which would cause the whole thing to blow up in everyone's faces, so to speak.
So everyone agrees to the terms, but perhaps some lurking evil-doers, maybe the Master, or maybe even the Weeping Angels, decide that hey, they prefer the chaos, and spam the comm during the delicate silence period.
And that's when all hell breaks lose. Five viruses at once.
TL;DR? Comm members wish for Yuuko to rid comm of all viruses, it doesn't work, and as a result five viruses happen at once.
SO what do you think? Obviously this would take some time to engineer, we'd have to have a virus to spur on the wish, and then Yuuko has to set up everything, and then there has to be at least SOME period of community silence for there to be any build up, and then Big Bad has to spam the comm, and that's when the viruses hit all at once. I'm not suggesting we do this soon, something like this needs set up that could perhaps span a couple months.
Y/N/M? I'll gladly take any suggestions, too.
