4th Wall Event

With all the excitement going on with the penguin races, the spirits came to a conclusion that the citizens and the people they brought to this city just weren't doing their best job to take care of the problem that they were sensing. Maybe they didn't bring the right people, or maybe they just needed more protection. Things seemed far too quiet and it just didn't sit well with them. So, some of the stronger spirits who preferred to watch instead of interact with humans decided to combine their powers together to summon more people from all over the worlds.






Welcome to the Fourth Wall Event of Cyclicality.

The spirits are bringing in all sorts of people for three weeks to try and gain more help and more alliances to help protect Republic City from anything that may wish to harm it. Any characters can come into the game with their powers to try and help out Republic City or just make things even more chaotic for the citizens. Your characters can come in as their original self, or you can AU them into the setting as well.

At the end of the event the new characters that were pulled into Republic City will be sent back to their own homes, unless you wish to app the character you brought in. You will be able to app them and let them keep their memories of the event. That goes for the characters already in the game as well. However, any canon powers will be lost as usual upon apping unless they're a canon bender or apped as AU. An overflow post will be posted around this time next week depending on if there are a lot of people tagging/commenting, so hop to it, everyone!

Some rules to follow:

1. If you’re a player in the game and interested in participating in the event, use the [4th wall] tag. This will let everyone know if you want to participate. You can also tag posts here.

2. If you’re not in the game, you can post a starter post here or tag into someone else’s post who has the [4th wall tag].

3. As always, remember to be friendly! And, if you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a PM.

I'm not planning on staying for the whole marathon.

[Nope. Not just parroting back to Donnie what Donnie wants to hear. No sirree.]

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-25 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Right.]

I'm not, anyway.
michaeljangelo: (Concerned)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-25 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Really? But the badguy has a Doomsday device. You love Doomsday devices.
pigeonpuppet: (Happy place)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-25 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
... That, I'll stay for.
michaeljangelo: (Sipping)

[Mike does his best to keep his chuckling laughter to himself, lest he once again incur further wrath from the other people in the theater. The episode ends with Ginger still kidnapped by the Evil Unalaq.

However, the lights doing go up like they would for an intermission. Instead a newsreel begins, which is Mike's cue to start elbowing his brother in the arm.]


Oh oh oh. Newsreel. Clues and stuff.

[The newsreel goes on to paint a strangely optimistic picture of the world, given that the news it has to impart involves the disappearance of several world leaders, including one named Avatar Korra. Black and white footage of various locations around this world play out highlighting various spiritual phenomenon.

Apparently the nations are: Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, Water Tribes North and South, and the slowly growing Air Nation.]


Wild right?

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-25 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mike's elbowing is answered with a swat, but it's half-hearted as most of Don's attention is on the news.]

Too wild. What's with all the spirit-y things?
michaeljangelo: (Smile)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-25 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mike appreciates that the swat isn't leveled at his head, as is usually the case when Leo, Raph, or Splinter is involved.]

No idea, but I've got to say? I kind of like being confused for a spirit if it means being able to walk around in broad day light without people screaming or throwing stuff at us.
pigeonpuppet: (I didn't think of that)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-25 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why are you sitting in a dark theater with people telling you to be quiet? [He points to the vicinity of Mike's feet.] And I'm pretty sure someone threw that snack wrapper at you.
michaeljangelo: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-26 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Mike points at the screen.]

Did I not mention that the badguy has a Doomsday Device?

[Come on, Don. Get with the program!]
pigeonpuppet: (Why is this so)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-26 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
But when do we get to see him use it?
michaeljangelo: (Turtle)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
The Third Act. It's always in...the...third...

[Mike's eyes go wide, and his jaw goes slack.]

What if they don't have Chekhov's Gun here?!

[Mike hadn't considered that the magical place with wooogly spirits might not also have the same story-telling conventions.]
pigeonpuppet: (I didn't think of that)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-26 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Don knows nothing of literary structures.]

Mike, what are you talking about?
michaeljangelo: (Concerned)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-26 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[How could Donnie not spent hours reading over April's old Creative Writing textbooks from Undergrad?! Mike is so judging you right now, Don. SO. Judging.]

Any gun that's show in the first act has to then be shown going off in the third.
pigeonpuppet: (Hello what are you)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Because he's too busy taking apart the junk in her shop?]

[He considers this pronouncement.]


Why?
michaeljangelo: (Concerned)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-26 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Because.....

...


....

Reasons.
It...if it doesn't go off, then there was no point in pointing it out in the first place.
pigeonpuppet: (Interesting)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-26 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Except that it was there.

... I mean, of course it's all fictional. But movies always have interesting-but-irrelevant junk in the background, don't they?
michaeljangelo: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-26 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not good ones. A story should be tight. There shouldn't be extraneous bits for no reason. If this guy has a Doomsday Device, it's gotta go off, or the whole story is ruined.

and if that's the case I will find the guy who wrote it, and duct-tape him to the ceiling until he learns better.

[So there.]
pigeonpuppet: (Happy place)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-26 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[A long, thoughtful stare, followed by sudden understanding.]

You mean stories should be written like code. Don't declare a variable if you don't plan to use it.
michaeljangelo: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-27 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Mike waits patiently as Don processes this.
He eats while he does this, of course.]


Yeeees, if you wanted to go full nerd about it, yeah.

[Says the guy who reads Creative Writing textbooks for fun.]

...



....


.....

Okay, fair enough.
So how're things with you? Find anything fun and exciting?
pigeonpuppet: (Hello what are you)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-28 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[A casual shrug.]

I think I like the wildlife here.
michaeljangelo: (Smile)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-01-28 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Crazy right?!

[Again their neighbors shush him, so he lowers his volume, but not his enthusiasm.]

It's like live-action Wuzzles!
pigeonpuppet: (I didn't think of that)

[personal profile] pigeonpuppet 2015-01-30 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
... That's not quite what I had in mind.
michaeljangelo: (Bored)

[personal profile] michaeljangelo 2015-02-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow that doesn't surprise me in the slightest, can't imagine why.
