Hello Havenites! After much hinting, it's finally event time! With the IC post already up, let's move on to the details right away.

Monday 10th June
The event has started by the radio announcement Jonas made just now addressing everyone in Haven West. As stated, characters have been informed of something terrible that Kite is planning, which Jonas has taken great risks in trying to prevent by coming to warn them and requesting their help. Because the communication was intercepted however, the town will be acting up and trying to stop everyone.

The Haven is accessible for the task starting from Tuesday morning, for Jonas’ broadcast would’ve come in after it was shut down for the night on Monday. The Haven will be as it always has been during daytime on Tuesday, but all the holograms of people would’ve disappeared. Characters who try exploring will feel as if streets they walk on are looping on themselves, or sometimes one road is inexplicably stretching on longer than it should go. One’s sense of time and distance becomes distorted; it’s fine to get lost, but remember to come back out of the tunnels before 10PM! Suffocation’s a rather plain way to die, after all.

More alarming might be the fact that the device Jonas mentioned cannot be found even if the Lake is reached. Maybe you’re not looking hard enough? Either way, there’s still tomorrow…

Wednesday 12th June
A first IC mingle post will be made in the main community to detail setting changes, and be used to thread out everything that occurs on the 12th and 13th. The Haven has now fully warped to become a maze. Streets change direction at random, buildings appear where they shouldn't be, and people venturing down there can easily get lost for hours. Characters capable of flight will also find it disabled. Stalking the maze is something people can hear following and the scrape of metal, but not see anything yet. More dangerous than tricks of lights and strange noises, however, are monsters: starting by taking form and shapes of low to medium level monsters from represented canons of characters' home worlds, they will need to be dealt with for progress to be made in this new labyrinth.

Of course, here’s the catch: as Jonas’ warning foreshadowed, these monsters are your friends. Player characters who signed up will begin to gradually turn into monsters starting from the 12th, spanning up until the end of the event. More information on that below!

Friday 14th June
A second IC mingle post will be made in the main community to detail more changes, the post will also be used to thread out everything that occurs on the 14th and 15th. The maze gets worse, the monsters become tougher, and to top it all off, the thing stalking becomes visible. It's Pyramid Head! Those in charge of Haven certainly are biased. It's impervious to all forms of attacks against it and players can be killed by him at random as they choose, if the already available selection doesn't make the cut. The amount of monsters also increased, so tread with great care.

Saturday 15th June
A moderator comment will be made at the end of the Friday post, as characters eventually fight through a path to the Lake and manage to excavate the device through a combination of their wits and strengths. It will then be delivered at the edge of the barrier back in Haven West to Jonas: the interaction would be brief, but will be threaded out.

Sunday 16th June
An OOC post will be made to complete the event. At the end of it, the fog will be lifted from Haven North as promised, but The Haven's settings will not change: the maze will remain, and Pyramid Head will continue to lurk in the shadows of its streets.

All characters that died during the event will be revived, and all characters still in their monster forms will revert back to their normal selves. Everyone will remember everything, however, especially those who turned inside the maze.

This outlines the schedule for the week. As for monster specifics:

From the 12th to the 15th, turning is gradual among the population that chooses to go down to The Haven (incidentally, opting out for signed up characters is possible simply by not going). The change also happens in order from weakest to strongest: characters that shift into low level monsters will have it occur on the 12th, whereas characters that shift into high level monsters will have it occur closer to the 15th. The choice of date and type of monster is left up to the player, but please try to spread your selection out to avoid overwhelming The Haven with powerful monsters near the end.

To that effect, players are highly encouraged to use this post or other means of OOC communication to plot out monsters choices, coordinate interactions, and discuss device retrieval plan with others. Once the decision is finalized, please reply to the corresponding mod comment titled with the appropriate date in the subject headline: that is to ensure balance for each day, ease keeping track of what happens on what day, and allow the moderator to do a quick check. Potentially problematic monster choices will be replied to, but otherwise, please assume blanket approval.

Here's a few links to get everyone started, if those who signed up are still unsure about what monsters to pick:
  • Ao no Exorcist demons
  • Atelier series monsters
  • Disgaea monster classes
  • Fire Emblem creatures
  • Kingdom Hearts Heartless
  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 demons list
  • Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Persona 4 shadow enemies
  • Supernatural monsters
  • Sword Art Online monsters
  • Other canons with monsters but scarcer wikia resources include but are not limited to: Ib, Tales of, Folklore, Hunter X Hunter, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Original canons, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Rise of the Guardians, Touhou Project, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, and any canon with vampires/zombies/demons that tend to be a whole antagonistic race.

    If there are any questions or comments, please ask here in the questions subthread, PM the mod account, or ping the mod at [plurk.com profile] havenrpg. Thank you, and hopefully everyone have fun with this!

    SO REGARDING THOSE MADOKA MAGICA MONSTERS aka witches!

    -Can player characters turn into a witch?
    -If they can, will they also be able to create their own barrier (a sort of... pocket dimension where everything is strange and surreal and usually built to trap people inside and make it easier for the witch) to draw people in and kill them? The way I figure it, there would probably be a part of the maze where people would be drawn in and basically disappear either until they found a way out of the barrier and back to the maze, or unless someone kills the witch behind it. And if they die in there, well... Their corpse certainly wouldn't be making it out on its own.
    -Alternately are they required to just f...ly/run around the maze for the killings and such?

    Aaaaah this is exciting~

    Morgan will be turning into Morgan! That is to say, she'll be the evil alternate Morgan who serves Grima in Fire Emblem's Future Past DLC. So she'll be retaining her usual appearance and even most of her mannerisms, but will be thoroughly opposed to the "Good Guys", which will make this fun :'D

    She also packs a punch with both magic and her sword so if anyone wants any ruined CR suffering, let's make it happen!

    Not to imply that Homura is out to murder friends or anything but

    Would player witches drop grief seeds? Asking in case Homura witnesses a witch death and questions that.

    Shino is going to turn into a Madoka Magica-type witch, complete with her own barrier for dragging people in and making them Vanish Forever. Unless they find a way to escape or otherwise kill her, that is.

    Seeing as Izaya is always calling Anri a monster I figured Anri's mun should do the honours of picking his monster haha.

    So Izaya is a gigas shadow.

    (I really have no idea whether this should count as low-medium or low so someone who knows more than I do can feel free to correct me!)
    keystroke: But it was aliens. (I'm not saying it was aliens.)

    ahh this is a super cool event... THANK YOU MODS.

    Anyway, I realized after I commented that this is a bit of a grey-area so... I was thinking of having Sora turn into Anti-form which is a Drive form and not technically a monster, but it does represent the "darkness inside Sora's heart" and is due to his prior transformation as a Heartless, plus it's not something he himself activates with his own control. Is this a viable thing for Sora to turn into?

    Plotting comment for Archer (this account) and Akane ([personal profile] thejoyofsix)--

    Archer is going to be initially wary of doing as some random voice on the radio says, but he doesn't see any other option, so he'll join in to help with the device retrieval, even if he complains the whole time. I'd like him to get injured early on and then rejoin the fray later more determined than ever, so if anyone turning into a low-level monster wants to chomp on him, let me know!

    When it comes to actually retrieving the device, he'll probably be best placed fending off monsters at the shores of the lake with his overpowered Type-Moon abilities while someone else actually gets it.

    June will also be attempting to get the device, with a side of trying to find information. I'd like her to be manipulating monsters into providing protection for her--hiding from Pyramid Head in their blind spots, goading them into attacking each other instead of her, etc. Let me know if you're game for something like that.

    Since I don't know many canons from the list above for my character to change into - Would a monster such as a chimera from Fullmetal Alchemist be acceptable?

    vera shall be turning into a spirit from her own world.

    since the spirits of vera's world don't actually have distinct corporeal forms of their own, this one is effectively borrowing her appearance, with a few interesting alterations — disconcertingly sharp nails, teeth that may or may not belong to some sort of baby shark, and a corpse-like complexion. she'll have a better than usual grasp of offensive elemental magic but still has all the weaknesses of a squishy human body.
