Event: Worldhop #1
Who: E V E R Y O N E
When: Day 54 all-day
Where: E V E R Y W H E R E
This morning, just after dawn, you're awoken by a wail so deep and loud it makes your chest rumble. An eerie noise that feels supernaturally wrong, it's like a roar and a screech intertwined, multiple voices lashing out in anger and pain all at once. The sound last several long seconds, before facing into a distant hum.
Should you follow the noise towards the beach, you'll see that the corrupted island across the water is surrounded in a black miasma, floating into a sky that appears to be stained with bruise-like purple. For a little while it remains contained, but after a few minutes, there's a heart-beat like pulse.
Once
Twice
Thrice...
And the darkness rolls across the sky, bringing with it air filled with black dust motes that smell of mildew. The jungle is quiet, its wildlife in hiding from the Malice encroaching upon it, but you swear you can hear whispers out there. They're too quiet to understand, but you just know they're temping you:
Just let go. You don't need anyone but yourself. Everyone else should just go away.
Fortunately, as long as you stay inside the Aurora, the whispers won't actually cause you to act differently. They'll just be unsettling. Head outside, however, and you'll find yourself growing slowly more irritable and likely to say something nasty.
It takes a few minutes, but eventually everyone receives a message on their Chain, from The Construct. The same message is also aired in a robotic voice over the intercom.
The announcement will prove quite true: periodically throughout the day, monsters common in corrupted areas of this Star may appear around the Aurora. They will appear one at a time and may be driven off -- it seems the overall purification of the jungle has made them weaker than they were before, but they're still dangerous!
It's time to wrap things up in this part of the universe -- good luck!
[NOTES: Please use this post to mingle freely, make IC plans, and general deal with the overall day of the event! To go and purify the island, there will be three sessions of mod-guided exploradora: 3pm PST & 7pm PST on Saturday, and 6pm PST on Sunday! Sessions happen sequentially ICly, so you can go to as few or as many as you like. If you intend to play, please to go sign up in this toplevel just so the mods have a rough idea of numbers. You can play even if you don't sign up, though!
Also, please check out this toplevel to leave your submissions for your new team bond! Submissions must be in by 6pm on the 6th, or the mods will pick a second bond for you. Thank you very much!]

Systems have detected imminent danger. Due to progression of purification, it appears the primary source of Malice on this Star has become enraged. This creature must be purified in order to complete Prism restoration.
Heroes willing to venture into the creature's lair, please make preparations and assemble in the lounge in two hours. A guide will be sent to transport you to your target location and aid your search. Please do not attempt to approach on your own.
Be aware, there is an increased likelihood of malicious creatures approaching at this time. It is advised that you remain inside the train as much as possible.
And remember: Stay Positive! The fate of the universe depends on your healthy bonds.

[ How everyone makes clothes a big deal? ]
I hardly think wearing clothes is making a big deal out of it. It's literally the bare minimum someone can do to be respectable.
[ But obviously this girl is a little lacking in that department. Not that he's one to talk. ]
no subject
Yeah, see, it just seems like making a big deal of nothing. Though humans do seem to be wound up about it universally. Who knew two legs would make it a whole thing.
Ponies usually only use clothes for fancy occasions because they're pretty.
no subject
[ She's talking about ponies now too. He's even more confused. ]
Why are we talking about ponies getting dressed up?
no subject
....missed that part, huh?
[And then she shifts suddenly and HAVE A PONY.] I mean, we were exploring that bottom part of the tower before the mirror room.
/2
[ But yeah, adding that to the list would be an impossible task and he's just met Isuzu. ]
no subject
...are you under a curse or something too?
no subject
I'm cursed to be competent at emotional problems while most people aren't.
As for the pony-human thing, I don't know. I was born a unicorn on Equestria and somehow I ended up on a world of humans and turned into a human. I could not tell you how I got from Point A to Point B, especially since humans don't exist on Equestria.
I had to buy a magical device to turn back into a pony here, otherwise I was stuck with all the gangly limbs.
no subject
I don't think I understood a single word you just said.
[ You...are emotionally exhausting to him. How does Isuzu put up with you? Does she? ]
no subject
no subject
Have you always know you were a unicorn from another planet or is this a new thing?
no subject
And yes. I was born a unicorn. I lived as a unicorn for a good long while. Whatever the deal is with the human thing has been more recently. I couldn't even recognize what a human was when I got here.
Which was horrible because I arrived as a human, there was a lot of screaming.
