Okay so Hikaru and I were discussing this event idea I have to get out of this awkward/inactive place we're at... Below is the chat log but for your convenience I have bullet pointed the highlights of our discussion. If you like what we've thought up please tell us, if you disagree with parts or all of it also share your opinion. This is OUR event, not my event, I want you guys to be involved in the planning.
- As you all may know, time is glitching, Asura doesn't know why but parts of time are randomly vanishing.
- This is actually due to Galaxy (the mastermind CEO of Galactic, Inc. who nobody has ever heard of or seen, actually responsible for the death of the Genesis King, creation of Plex, etc).
- Galaxy created Plex as a means to control existence, Plex was a part of him. When Plex was defeated, he almost died, his plan was ruined. He's been regaining strength by feeding on time itself, to him it's like an infinite energy source. He's absorbing bits and pieces of time to regain his power.
- The Eclipse of magic is a sort of natural filter that existence has on magic. Happens every couple thousand years for three days to help existence and magic realign, so to speak.
- Galaxy's feeding on time is causing existence to glitch, hence why the eclipse is lasting longer. Existence is only gonna start glitching more and more as time goes on. Basically there's holes in existence itself now, things that once existed no longer existed because Galaxy erased it from history, fed upon it's energy. Existence is trying to fill in the holes. Basically everything's fucking up.
- Event starts with a fun cruise through space.
- Existence begins to attack Galaxy once it realizes the problems it's causing, sort of like antibodies attacking a virus. This causes Galaxy, who's on the cruise, to mutate into a freak monster kinda thing.
- Fun is interrupted when people have to survive the Creature Galaxy's onslaught. Nobody has magic so they either must use tech to defend themselves or stay alive while stuck on the cruise.
- MEANWHILE as existence keeps glitching, all throughout the planes stuff starts to go wrong, people all over the planes have to deal with these glitches.
- As people battle Galaxy and he starts to lose control, the fragments of time he absorbed start to leave Galaxy all at once. As a result the starship cruise starts hopping through fragments of various timelines.
- In one of these fragmented timelines that the cruise hops into, an alternate Hikaru ended up using the Arami Scrolls (powerful artifact from the OK that can control existence, rewrite destiny, etc) to control her brothers and rule the planes. It becomes apparent that the glitches that existence is going through can be stopped by recovering these scrolls from the Alt!Hikaru.
- Hard as fuck battle that everyone can be involved in (just like the rest of the event). Fight Alt!Hikaru without magic when she controls like everything.
- Resolution, scrolls obtained, existence fixed. But now someone has all powerful scrolls, this should create a power struggle and they'll hopefully be locked away somehow, creating temptation from all sides to use the scrolls.
- New event pertaining to the scrolls, we can plan that later.
[20:50] <K2323> Okay so
[20:51] <K2323> I'm thinking that due to Galaxy feeding on time and stuff as of late combined with the eclipse of magic, it's causing existence to collapse in on itself
[20:51] <Hikaru> Why would it do that?
[20:52] <K2323> Because if parts of time and by proxy existence itself are disappearing, that leaves holes
[20:52] <Hikaru> Yeah how is the eclipse of magic an affect from that?
[20:52] <K2323> We said it was some kind of glitch right?
[20:53] <K2323> Existence is glitching up
[20:53] <Hikaru> For how long it's taking. Originally it'd have been over in 3 days
[20:53] <K2323> And trying to repair itself
[20:53] <K2323> Yeah that's my point
[20:54] <K2323> So I'm thinking Galaxy's basically mutating as a result of existence glitching, because existence sees him as the problem and is trying to repair existence by eliminating him
[20:55] <K2323> So he's this freak creature at the moment.
[20:55] <K2323> Meanwhile we have this cruiseship, designed for everyone to be able to join in and have fun, just like the Festival of Waves...
[20:55] <K2323> Galaxy starts to mutate while on the cruise, starts attacking and shit
[20:56] <K2323> Not using magic obviously but like Templar powers and what not
[20:56] <K2323> And he's all that much more harder to defeat without magic
[20:56] <K2323> Making the ship go into a kind of survival mode, everyone has to fend for themselves
[20:57] <Hikaru> Kay... if existence is trying to eliminate him shouldn't that mean Satya would know him?
[20:58] <K2323> Maybe, at least would know that he's the source of the problem
[20:58] <K2323> Meanwhile as existence keeps glitching it starts to shatter and cave in on itself, bits and pieces of existence all over the planes are vanishing much more quickly. Vortexes are appearing, existence is glitching, shits fucking up everywhere.
[20:58] <K2323> This allows me to make threads on all the planets, that was a big part of the Plex event with the negi as it gave everyone a chance to have to fight back. This will be the same way. People have to fight back and deal with existence glitching.
[20:58] <Hikaru> Kay...
[20:59] <Hikaru> Without magic?
[20:59] <K2323> Yeah
[20:59] <K2323> This is where I'm having trouble
[20:59] <K2323> I think for this to work magic will have to somehow return at some point
[20:59] <K2323> But how?
[21:01] <K2323> Any ideas?
[21:01] <Hikaru> Well with magic gone it's technically one piece of existence gone, only leaving Spirit and Tech. Don't bring it back for a long time, Tech should fall first and Spirit be attacked last
[21:01] <K2323> ;o
[21:02] <K2323> What im saying is
[21:02] <Hikaru> Cause if the Astral Plane falls, we're all dead
[21:02] <K2323> This event won't be any fun without magic
[21:02] <Hikaru> I don't see why not
[21:02] <K2323> how the fuck do we fight back
[21:02] <Hikaru> Tech, consider it a dark ages kinda thing for as long as it lasts.
[21:06] <Hikaru> That actually sounds cool
[21:08] <K2323> After that I'm thinking
[21:09] <Hikaru> Spirit feeds on magic when one tries to restore their SE, right? So then to save Existence Magic needs to be brought back before it ALL goes out.
[21:09] <Hikaru> For that...
[21:09] <Hikaru> Find scrolls?
[21:09] <K2323> Haha wow we think on the same page
[21:09] <K2323> Hold on
[21:10] <K2323> During the battle on the ship between Galaxy/the creature and everyone, as Galaxy begins to loose control, time starts to restore itself bit by bit, but it's getting distorted, causing the ship to literally start jumping through fragments of time as they escape from Galaxy.
[21:10] <K2323> Meaning one moment the ship may be warped into the middle of a battle in the Nyx war, the next they may be at the Era Village as Hik is destroying it in a timeline, next they may be somewhere else entirely
[21:11] <K2323> From there I see two possible options...
[21:11] <K2323> A) They keep warping through timelines until time naturally restores itself to normal, and existence fixes itself. Galaxy demutates, everyone sees Galaxy's true form, he makes his first public appearence...
[21:11] <K2323> OR
[21:12] <K2323> B) Time keeps warping and can't fix itself naturally. To stop the warping and fix time and existence, someone finds the Arami Scrolls, thus creating a natural segway into the next event, something to do with the scrolls.
[21:12] <K2323> Either way the scrolls should be an event of their own but we can segway into the event right after this one or wait awhile and go with A as a resolution for this event
[21:13] <Hikaru> Since the scrolls are an ingrounded item and thus time did not destroy them. Maybe the way they find them is one of the other timelines when warping?
[21:13] <Hikaru> And I like B
[21:15] <K2323> Hm maybe one of the timeline fragments they warp into is one where Era never took the scrolls and hid them, and Hikaru still has the scroll from when she had it in the OK, and used it to control everyone else, thus becoming the evil dictator she always saw herself as?
[21:15] <K2323> No, that'd be useless
[21:15] <K2323> It wouldn't help find the scroll
[21:15] <K2323> s
[21:15] <K2323> Hmm
[21:16] <Hikaru> We have to think what happened. If you tried to destroy them and they didn't get destroyed what happened to them after that moment?
[21:16] <Hikaru> Perhaps timeflux, the attempt at destroying them through them into a random timeline
[21:16] <Hikaru> *threw
[21:17] <K2323> Okay, we'll go with that, we'll have it where the Alt!Hik found the scrolls in her timeline and used them
[21:17] <K2323> Thus the challenge is for everyone to get the scrolls from this Alternate evil Hikaru
[21:18] <K2323> which will be very hard when she can control shit and we don't have magic
[21:18] <K2323> That said we need something awesome to be hidden in the Vaccus Galaxy, if the scrolls aren't it... Something for a later event.
[21:18] <K2323> Or someone.
[21:19] <Hikaru> Yeah.
[21:20] <Hikaru> So time is getting corrupt too?
[21:20] <K2323> Uh Hik it's an alternate timeline
[21:21] <K2323> an alternate reality
[21:21] <Hikaru> No I mean by the whole existence glitching thing
[21:22] <K2323> Well the fact that Galaxy is feeding on time is what makes existence glitch to begin with
[21:22] <K2323> Okay so we somehow obtain the scrolls from Alt!Hik, use them to restore existence... And that ends this event but immediately starts the Arami Scrolls event. Should we plan that one now or later?
[21:24] <Hikaru> Someone needs to take the scrolls from whoever manages to get them. That person goes power hungry but not at first? Instead they lock them away yet the temptation builds and builds while we take a 'break' between events?
[21:25] <K2323> Sure
[21:25] <K2323> I think we should leave the planning there and discuss our next event during said break
[21:26] <K2323> Too many things could happen differently between now and then anyway
[21:26] <Hikaru> Yeah
[21:28] <K2323> Okay I'll post this log in staff chat, doubt anyone will read it but they deserve to have their opinions heard before we go ahead
[21:28] <Hikaru> Kay
[21:28] <K2323> Also
[21:28] <Hikaru> Heh, this is the type of event Gaser would have definitely loved.. No magic, everyone having to rely on tech for an indefinite amount of time...
[21:28] <K2323> lol
[21:29] <K2323> I don't leave till Sunday or Monday now so I have two options
[21:30] <K2323> I could start the event now but not have existence majorly glitching, or Galaxy mutating yet. Have the fun part now for a week or two, everyone's on this starship cruise and having fun, I can be on a cruise IRL and dont have to be here for that part, and when I get back I can start the conflict
[21:30] <K2323> Or we can wait till I get back for everything
[21:30] <Hikaru> Wait
[21:30] <Hikaru> I won't be here the weekend
[21:31] <K2323> Okay in that case after the staff topic I'll set a date (I'm liking June 13th), and start getting hype up for the event, post a few news topics with exciting intros, do a few recaps, etc
Thoughts?
