Between the Perspectives "but in your future, the you i see is exactly the person you always wanted to be." Supplies have been loaded onto the ship, and the captains have encouraged all crew members to explore with the added notice that this will be the last planetary stop (hopefully) until the Moira reaches the Midway Hub. While seemingly uneventful on the Moira, the mini colony has been thrumming with adventure and has offered its visitors the opportunity to explore. To those who have indulged, some experienced great changes and others discovered enlightening information about the Ingress and the very ship some have called home for over a year. Later in the month, the Lamaria hold the closing ceremony of the Desiderium Festival (which was noted on the prior event log) . The burgundy and lime colors of the celebration slowly fade into black and vermillion, and small fires are now in place for visitors to throw their written notes into. Everyone who participates will be blessed by one of the Lamaria (they will visit the ship as well), and the MID will be able to only translate bits and pieces of what this blessing means. "Experienced loss — every story is different — and saying goodbye — not to know — understanding lies in the mingling of holding on and letting go." ☄ TRANSFORMATION CENTRAL For some, it might be due to a touch or a look. For others, it might not be any of those things at all, and something that just happens. Either way, shortly after the blessing occurs, you will find yourself changing. Your character’s body will slowly transform into the physical likeness of another being on the Mini Colony. The effects of this change may last as short as a day or as long as a week, but each come with their own stipulations—advantages and disadvantages. This is limited to one as the blessing itself only allows for “a little understanding”. Linked below are some of the possible transformations that your character can go through. Players can choose either one of the mod-supplied suggestions or choose the form of another already living on the Moira. ☄ THE FEAR MACHINE Paranoia writes the checks, we're dangling here like a marionette. Here we go again, the world is coming to an end. Engage the fear machine and collect the dividends. While the festival is beautiful, and some have found enlightenment and understanding here, there are those on the mini colony who don't enjoy the festivities. In a secluded room on the fifth floor in one of the buildings in the Science District, there is one such person who finds the religious festival to be a nuisance—one who should be stopped. Thinking that disrupting the blessings and celebration will somehow "get back" at the Lamaria for impeding their work (some of those who have transformed got into the building a few years ago and destroyed this person's property). Pettiness thrives, and they create something they dub The Fear Machine. Yet, while the science is sound, the technology itself is not. In the middle of the mini colony, the machine is set off, and bolts of transparent energy erupt and spark out around it, stretching as far as the docked ships. Since the technology wasn't created properly to sustain the energy, it doesn't spread out evenly like they had hoped. Some are hit. Some are not. Those who are will develop a sudden and overwhelming phobia that will last well into the beginning of November. The machine might be turned off and left behind, but the obsessive fear has only just begun. ( ooc; For questions, go here. This log will run into the beginning of November; any threads here can be claimed for bonus activity the following activity check as well. )

Riptide. You're not Magnus right? Cause that'd be really awkward after--

[he scoots away a little on the seat.]

...Yeaaah.

[iseedeadbees]

[Starscream waves a hand all dismissive like. Chill bro]

Starscream.

...The red one. What about Magnus?

[knaval]

You're both red. I'm Riptide. Are you the one I had a moment with during that party or the one I want to throttle?

[LOOK AT HIM IMPLYING HE LIKES YOU]

[iseedeadbees]

I'm all red! The all red one! We were hanging around each other for a while at that party, yes. I suppose that counts as "having a moment".

[knaval]

It was totally a moment, don't fool yourself.

[ignoring all common sense, riptide puts his arm around starscream's shoulders.]

You're sharp.

[iseedeadbees]

[Amazingly, Starscream doesn't yell or elbow Riptide in the face, but he does give him the weirdest look pretty much ever]

I hardly remember it. All I remember is drinking a lot and hating my life.

[knaval]

Yeah. I kind of felt bad for you. It was weird all around.

[he nudges the stupid miserable ex-jet.]

How've you been recently?

[iseedeadbees]

[Yeah it was weird man. People never feel bad for Starscream right. He isn't entirly sure if he believes it but he's not really in the mood to argue.]

Aside from the whole having skin thing, I think I've been doing pretty well. I thought I'd have more to complain about, honestly. What about you?

[knaval]

Oh, you know. The usual.

[riptide shifts again, leaning away from starscream.]

Guess we're just gonna have to wait this out. Not looking forward to changing back, I'll tell you that much.

[iseedeadbees]

Seriously? I can't wait to change back. I don't want to have to deal with figuring out what I'm supposed to eat like this. Why wouldn't you want to change back?

[knaval]

Uh, because it's probably going to feel absolutely terrible and possibly hurt a lot? You dingus?

[iseedeadbees]

I'd gladly welcome the pain if it means I won't have to deal with these things anymore!

[He's just squishing his boobs together WHAT ARE THESE EVEN FOR]

Look at these! I think they're even bigger than yours!

[knaval]

[wow look at those boobies bounce.]

I don't understand why they're different sizes. Don't you have turbines on your chest, anyway?

[iseedeadbees]

[it's kinda nuts bro]

Those serve a purpose, and they don't jiggle when I walk!

[knaval]

You should make them jiggle. Start a trend. You're the leader of Cybertron! You could make it a law!

[iseedeadbees]

If I'm going to abuse my power, it's going to be for something not stupid.

[knaval]

Oh, my god, like you won't pass a law that requires everyone to make their desktop background your face, or whatever!

[iseedeadbees]

Wow! I know I can come off as maybe a bit narcissistic, but I'm not that bad!

[knaval]

[OKAY STARSCREAM ARE YOU READY FOR THE MOST OVER THE TOP AIR QUOTES EVER]

"Maybe" "a bit"

[iseedeadbees]

Shut up. The point is, you're an idiot and you're wrong.

[and getting shoved a bit go away dumb naked riptide]

[knaval]

And you'd make a giant statue of yourself without even hesitating. I bet you have like fifty in storage already.

Don't you? You do. You totally do.

[iseedeadbees]

Believe it or not, that actually isn't in any of my plans. I'm more concerned about making sure everyone has power and resources and places to live. Imagine that.

[knaval]

Yeah, and the statues aren't gold or anything.

[iseedeadbees]

There aren't any damn statues. You're the one obsessed with statues here, not me!

[HUFF GOD]

[knaval]

Look, I'm trying to find something I know you like to talk to you about and I know you like statues, especially when they're of you.
