Event Info

[havenmods]

Hello Havenites!

It's event time again, and this time the roof has opened up to shower everyone with new horrors. In today's IC event post characters will see that the roof has opened due to a system error and, if the mechanical voice can be believed, an operative from the Yao Corporation will be on their way shortly.

Characters must decide what to do when that representative gets there. Kill them for their security card? Capture them? Let them do their work? Either way, the clock is ticking...

Further developments will come later in the week, but for now the garden is open for general use. Some important information is in this post to let you know what to expect.

Powers and the garden
Any character entering the garden will find that their powers DO NOT WORK within it's boundaries. They will not be turned human, it's just as if a dampener effect has been put into place (for example: Beast Boy would remain green, he just wouldn't be able to transform). This will last only as long as a character is within the garden itself, and all powers will return the moment a character steps back onto the spiral staircase to leave.

Falling off the edge
That's a bad idea. No, seriously. Any character who falls off the edge may be subject to permanent physical changes, so please do not have your character fall off the edge unless you are willing to accept these consequences. If you decide to go ahead, just PM havenmods to work out the details. Approaching the edge of the garden will give off an aura of menace, and occasionally a set of huge eyes can be seen staring back from the inky blackness.

Climbing the side of the apartments
Anyone trying to access the garden via the outside of the building instead of using the spiral staircase will not reach it. They will reach what seems to be just a crumbling and empty rooftop, standard to any apartment block with no interior access door.

Plants in the garden
There are many different types of plants in the garden. Characters may be affected by any of their special attacks, but this is down to player discretion - you may NPC your own plant attacks. If any character is killed, they will remain dead for 48 hours before returning. Plants may also be uprooted and taken below, or eaten (if you feel brave enough). The following is a list of what can be found (click the links for further information on all plants named):

-> Standard greenery : This includes grass, bluebells, fir trees, etc - anything you might expect to find in a large garden. This also includes an apple tree, and a blackberry bush, both with fresh fruit ready to be eaten. This is all safe to consume, and the water from the stream is safe to drink.

-> A large bed of poppies
-> 10 x Triffids
-> 10 x Standard Deku Scrubs
-> 1 x Plant 42
-> 10 x Audrey II - Note: These versions are the new seedlings and cannot yet talk, but will eat blood if possible. If any of these are uprooted and taken below, they will grow as in the musical.
-> 30 x Mandrake roots - Note: There are roots of all ages.
-> 1 x Whomping Willow
-> 3 x Malboro
-> 1 x Wall of Vines - Note: See plot section of the wiki page for what the vines can do

Please ask any questions here, and the rest of this post is free to use for plotting purposes!

QUESTIONS

[havenmods]

Re: QUESTIONS

[afflictive]

Should I assume the same effects mentioned here will also apply if Fujimaru tries to talk to the computer terminal?

Re: QUESTIONS

[fearguard]

Are the Malboro roaming free or are they rooted?

[alchimist]

Since I already asked about canon plants in the plurk, I will ask this one here since someone else might be wondering it.

Are there any bugs in the garden?

Re: QUESTIONS

[notsoheavenly]

Considering that Felicia's wings are really just a physical manifestation of psychic energy, if she went onto the roof, and her powers were nerfed, would they disappear entirely since it would be cutting her off from the energy? Just wanting to make sure I know how this would work out. (And I'm totally okay with it if that's how it goes, I just want to make sure I have how this works right).

[anikiiiiiii]

since now i'm curious, would getting knocked off the garden by the whomping willow count as falling off the edge??? since they're getting completely knocked off of the building.

ALSO. is anything flammable??? :|a

Re: QUESTIONS

[zetabeamguy]

What happens if someone tries to hack the computer, or plug another piece of machinery into it?

[notvessalius]

HEY BLUE, for the poppies, how fast would a person start to fall asleep if they smelled it? and how long would the sleep be?

[eyeofthetiger]

So, if they successfully kill a malboro, will it drop the armor/weapon items mentioned? because ngl, I would find it hilarious if it did.

[thunder_enforcer]

Would the A.I. in an electronic device still work in the garden?

[mikangirl]

I feel I will end up asking this question a lot. |D Are weapon effects also dampened?

Re: QUESTIONS

[watchyafeet]

Would Labrys's "being human" illusion start failing if she steps into the garden? It's technologically-based and is being maintained subconsciously, so it's reasonable that I would scratch my head in figuring out her possible consequences.

[evocalize]

Just checking, if our characters tried to call someone from the garden and vice versa, would it work?

[theshiningone]

What would happen if someone were to throw an object or a fruit into the "Abyss"?

Re: QUESTIONS

[cynicisms]

For the vines from The Ruins (omg was so excited to see them, that's one of my favorite books) do they have all the abilities from the book? I'm wondering specifically about whether they would travel from the roof via spores, repeating of conversations, and if a character was cut around them if they'd start having the vines growing inside them?

Thanks!

deku plants

[fortunefavored]

If you knock one of the deku nuts back at one of the Scrubs and it hits it, and you stand on top of its origin plant, will it try to talk to you and then leave you deku nuts or rupees or something?

Re: QUESTIONS

[unbeweevilble]

okok umm two-folded question: 1.) can the audrey II plants be uprooted? 2.) please mom can we keep him if so, is it possible to house it back in the apartments?

Re: QUESTIONS

[cawtastrophe]

Oops i'm a dingus and didn't see the question heading.

Henry has a passive ability to communicate with plants and animals. It's not really magical or anything, and it's suggested that he can understand nature because he's pure of heart/really innocent. Would he lose the ability to do this? If not, what kind of feelings or thoughts would he be able to feel from the plants?

[antiscian]

Ah yeah, before I do anything and mess up haha ;;— we don't have to wait a certain amount of time to post to either threads 3 or 4 right?

[thebeastwithout]

Would Beast Boy be able to copy the forms of things he sees here? Not to use on the roof since no powers, but later on from his memory!

[superissues]

Triffids!!!!!!

Blue, I love you.

[havenmods]

Thank you :)

Plotting?

[fearguard]

Koz is 1000% all for getting whomever it is that's coming and holding them hostage and interrogating and/or killing them.

He'll be gunning for this really hard... and will probably try to do it anyway unless someone stops him. 8|

[(Anonymous)]

after the event is done will the roof still still be accessible to get to the gardens?

[havenmods]

That depends on the outcome of the event, there are two possible ones depending on character choices.

[laceratings]

SO the yao representative.. if one of our characters wanted to, say, mutilate/torture/murder them, is that a thread we'd have to play out? or can it be handwaved and written into a toplevel comment? also, will there be IC consequences?

[havenmods]

It would have to be played out (the representative will be coming as part of the event).

There might be IC consequences, depending on what exactly is done.

plotting!

[robotboy]

I really want some cross-canon CR for Keith here. He's gonna be getting infected with some of the vines and in a day or so they'll start growing inside him. Which will freak him out and he'll likely start trying to cut it out of himself.

Would anyone like to be horrified/egg him on/sew him up afterward?

Re: plotting!

[knifecollecting]

Jo can be horrified and then sew him up, if there's string somewhere. She's no stranger to that!

...Poor Keith.
