July Event Details

You wake up in your bed.

The sun is streaming through your window, your alarm is buzzing next to your ear. Another night, another dream - but now it's time to face reality. You sigh as you trundle through your morning routine.

Nothing ever happens in this town. As far as you're concerned, everything in Nyoi-cho is the same as always. You've always lived here. It's not a big town, so you pretty much know everybody here. Sure, sometimes you get lost in your own little world - but that's all just pretend! You know that your real life is here, rooted to the mundane little world that is Nyoi-cho.

Although... You have to admit, sometimes things seem a bit odd when you really think about it. People go missing on occasion, and the sleeping sickness is getting worse than ever now, spreading like a plague over the town.

Still... This town has been peaceful for as long as anyone can remember. Surely that won't change anytime soon, right?

Life is but a dream.

Starting on the 8th, the characters will wake up in their houses... but not their magi houses. The houses they wake in are normal, non-magical, mundane houses. That's not the only change upon waking up - the characters will not remember their identity as magi. They won't even remember where they came from, believing that they are normal everyday people who were born and raised here in Nyoi-cho.

This is going up early so that you can all draft backstories. NPC parents, siblings, stories - your history with your fellow magi!

An Unexpected Visitor

From the shroud that dulls the minds of the magi, an unexpected source pulls them from the darkness?!

In Summation...

» You no longer remember your life as a magi. You believe that you've been here your whole life.
» Create backstory with your fellow magi! For all intents and purposes, this is an AU event!
» New characters can either opt in to this event or can arrive as normal.
» If you need to hiatus this month, your characters will fall victim to the "sleeping sickness" and will reawaken once your hiatus ends.
» Nightmares can still occur. If you wish to have your character go nightmare, please contact the mods VIA PM to discuss the option!
» The event will start on the 8th.

If you have any further questions about this event, please leave them here.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

First of all, since I'm a jerk, Kakyoin's going to be called Tenmei Kakyoin instead of Noriaki for all Nyoi-cho AU purposes. (Don't ask me why. Or do, I'm a comment, not a cop.)

He'll be an honor student with an immaculate disciplinary record as well as a member of the art club (mostly working with paint, naturally) finishing his last year of high school. It's likely he'll have expressed an interest in a geological field of study while looking for a good university.

As for his family, he lives at home with his mother Fujiko and his father Noriyuki, the latter of which is a professor often away for purposes of some nonspecific research. (God only knows what that nerd gets up to.) Unless anyone's up for AU'd family relationships (which i am 100% open to) I'll probably keep it to just that with the occasional mention of his Italian half-brother that moved due to his job or something.

ANYWAY. Intense amount of studying aside, usually during lunch and any other downtime at school he's probably buried in one handheld game or another. Like we're talking 'intense EV training several radically different competitive-level Pokemon teams and arguing with people over the Internet' level of gaming. God save you if you get matched up against Hierophant_Emerald in an online game of any sort because git gud scrublord.

(Why that name? He thought it sounded kinda cool and green is his favorite color.)

ANYWAYx2: if anyone wants in on any part of this at all, just hit me up here and i'll adjust/plan accordingly. Give me all the blood feuds over videogames, guys.

ETA: OH YEAH ALMOST FORGOT, i have no idea what the state of the event (or the city, for that matter) will be by this point but Kakyoin's birthday is July 26th. So that's. A thing.

So to recap: perfect student, nice family/social life, living a double life as MLG mountain dew and doritos shithead loser.

...Goddammit, he's basically Umaru-chan.
