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. )

[lúcio is very over the top in his HMMM motion.]
I think I do.
no subject
Gonna do something about it?
[Last chance.]
no subject
[lúcio straightens up. despite his short stature, he makes an effort to puff himself up.
here goes...]
Please don't hurt anyone. That would be rude.
[asking politely never hurt! is he being genuine or sarcastic? buddy, it's impossible to tell.]
no subject
I ain't gonna hurt anyone.
[Maybe.]
Unless they give me reason to.
no subject
[giant dog... would he have problems with territory? lúcio doesn't even know. ...he really hopes 76 hasn't been, uh. marking.]
Look, you wanna come with me? If you want to be on your own I don't mind getting some food and stuff. One part of my radio studio is mostly soundproof. You wanna go nap in there?
no subject
[A threat? Probably. Honestly, however, 76 isn't going to attack anyone unless they attempt to strike the first blow. It just isn't worth it, with the exception of self-defense.
That doesn't mean he's going to follow any of these suggestions.]
Not really.
no subject
[this FUCKIN GUY.]
I got in your way and I didn't even see you at first!
no subject
76 growls again, a low grumble in the back of his throat that really sounds no different from the noises he makes as a human. He’ll lurk around in the dark if he wants to!]
What are you supposed to be?
[Who are you to tell him he can’t lurk around in the dark, more like.]
no subject
[he stands his ground, hoping to get through to this horrendous moody boof.]
What's your name, man?
no subject
[What is a drell? We just don’t know. 76 does know who Lúcio is, however, and suddenly a great deal about this encounter makes sense. He’s just going to casually ignore that question, turning to leave.]
no subject
[lúcio doesn't follow, but he doesn't leave.]
