Out of Shadows

This is the special Thurisaz edition of a series of VENT EVENTS that will be happening in ToS. What is a Vent Event, you say? Glad you asked! There are not a lot of windows or doors leading outside in the Waiting Room, so the air that circulates through the building is created in a control room and highly regulated.

Of course, things can go wrong.

"But Kally," you might say, "Our characters are not in the Waiting Room. How can this thing come to be?" Well, funerals don't happen often in Thurisaz, but there's a mandatory day of peace involved when they do happen. To help enforce this, they release a drug through the air in the city on days of memorials, such as the one happening on Day 107 to honor those who died in the attack on the city. This drug will release all anger, resentment, or stress from your character. Any such negative emotions will be replaced with a strong love for everything and anything. Inigo Montoya and the Six Fingered Man? Yeah, definitely going to be hugging their feelings out this afternoon. Link and Ganondorf? Man, it's all just been a silly misunderstanding, they're just going to hold hands as we enjoy this lovely weather.

This will last for one in-game day, ending on the morning of Day 108 (February 16). As always, such events are voluntary and you can easily opt out. On the morning of Day 107, a gong will ring at the eleventh hour. When the gong rings a second time at the twelfth hour, the release of the drug will stop. Any characters who do not go outside and stay away from open windows during this time will not be affected.

Note: Feel free to use this post as a place to plot with other players for this event, or to ask the mods any questions you might have.

This is the thirdin a series of VENT EVENTS that will be happening in ToS. What is a Vent Event, you say? Glad you asked! There are not a lot of windows or doors leading outside in the Waiting Room, so the air that circulates through the building is created in a control room and highly regulated. 

Of course, things can go wrong. 

This week, some extra chemicals are being released to certain wings of the house. For the most part, your character won't notice or be affected--that is, unless they're in an infected room when the chemicals interact with steam. If your character spends much time in the green room this week, they will spend the next twenty-four hours unable to lie.  This is true whether someone asks something as mundane as how your character is doing or something as personal as asking for their darkest secrets.  Passing through the room briefly will be fine, but the prolonged exposure to the effected vents that would come from watching a movie or napping in the room will cause this.

This will last for two weeks, ending on the evening of Day 70 (October 23).  If you do not want your character involved, don't have them spending long periods of time in the green room.  Your characters can experience this effect as many or as few times as you wish.  Feel free to post any questions you have here!
