January Event Details

It's time.

Nyoi-cho is a world full of hope. The people bustle about their day in peace. Children laugh, business people work, and this timeless little town smiles cheerily as dawn turns to dusk.

However, when night falls, something sinister takes hold. All of the worries locked deep inside begin to fester, tainting peaceful dreams into something dark and twisted. People die in their sleep sometimes. Others simply never wake. And sometimes, people simply go missing... but why worry when you can't hope to change it? The town is ravaged by strangeness, warped by repression, and locked in a never-ending cycle of day and night.

At least, they are until tonight.

The Birth of a Miracle.

Welcome to Nyoi-cho! Your characters will arrive from that world between worlds and enter directly into a nightmare. I hope they're ready to hit the ground running, this will be their first true test as magi.

But not to fear, little fighters; this is the dream of a sick child. Their soul is not yet corrupted enough to pose much of a threat, so as long as you keep your wits about you survival will not be hard!

The nightmarescape is primarily composed of bright colors, toys, and fragments of games - but there's a sinister, malformed look to them. Familiars appear as shadows or corrupted toys.

The First Night.

You'll find yourself in a completely unfamiliar place. The world looks like a child's playroom, all bright colors and simple shapes. Skyscrapers made of building blocks and stagnant, stiff clouds against a too-blue sky dot the oddly sparse landscape. At first, you might feel at ease. Perhaps you're accustomed to strange settings, or perhaps this is merely more peaceful than what you were in before.

But before long, you hear voices. They babble to one another in incomprehensible voices, chattering in the shadows and following you as you slowly pick your way across this bizarre city. Just when you think you're safe, the creatures make themselves known. Surrealist impressions of toys and children's fairytales come from the woodwork, and while they were once keen to follow and watch, they know want to play with you.

It's just a shame their games are lethal.

The goal is to survive. Get accustomed to your abilities, learn how to fight, transform and test your new limitations. It won't be easy - the only word you have is the word of Kyubey, and it seems that he could not follow you into this place.

The Second Night.

As the nights wear on, you'll find that survival is becoming harder. The labyrinthine nature of the nightmare might begin to take its toll as you struggle to find a way out, and characters will find that it will become easier to start giving in to doubt and fear.

Part of the reason for this will be the second group of familiars that show up. These are 'bogeymen' like familiars, creatures that appear to be floating pairs of eyes draped under carpets or around dark corners. Unlike the other familiars, the bogeymen aren't there to actively attack characters: rather, their presence helps dredge up feelings of fear and terror in those who see them, whether it be by making the characters think of frightening events in their lives or just downright heightening the terror or doubt they may already feel. They can be destroyed/cleansed like any other familiar, though as long as characters are in their presence, they'll feel more put off and frightened than usually.

The Third Night.

What sort of sight awaits the characters when they finally make it to the center of the nightmarescape? You'll have to wait and see!

Contact: Ibechibb on AIM,

Character: Azula
Wish/Powers: here.
Info: Azula is mean, selfish, vain, manipulative, cruel and mentally and emotionally unstable. She will however be attempting to play "nice" as much as she can stomach so she can build relationships and credit with the others. That will make it easier to use them when she needs them. Given her current mental state I imagine showing up in nightmare toy land is gonna have her on edge and aggressive.
Seeking: I'm down for anything. Given her bad attitude I expect plenty of negative CR though so if you want to avoid that lemme know!
Anything else: I work Mon-Thursday from 7 pm to 5:30 am so my tagging is slow but I will back tag forever. I can even do the odd tag from my phone at work.

I somehow feel that Madoka would be super nice to her regardless.

Just try and make Madoka nagative CR, Azula

Azula is already suspicious of this cinnamon roll!

But why? She just wants to be a friend! :(

Because the last friends she had helped instigate her downfall just because they had feelings against murdering her brother naturally.

Also Azula would be so jealous of Mado's mom. She's so much better then Ursa.

Hahaha. I feel like, if Mado's mom ever comes, she'd totally invite Azula over for dinner or something so she can meet her. XD

Hello, selfish, manipulative friend!

They should become friends who are very very likely to attempt to throw the other into a volcano at some point, yes?

Oh absolutely~ with Azulas temper she might even be the one to cause the volcano

Just how she likes it! Bonnie here would absolutely adore having a living flamethrower at her side (until things go south)

Yes! Fire for everyone! Azula will be like the Oprah of fire. You get a burn wound! You get a burn wound! Everyone gets a burn wound!

these two will get along like a house on fire. so I would like them to actually get along and set a house on fire.

Now that's the kind of party she's familiar with

exactly. lets' have it happen sometime

Guess who is so easy to backstab you can literally frontstab him?

Rui, handing his actual soul over to someone who hates him and immediately stabs it

He aggressively believes that everyone's point of view matters and that they can do good.

Oh gosh, she would be cruel NOT to take advantage of that!

And he still believed in them. Granted, they were worried about society as a whole being too stupid to avoid destroying itself so he miiiight be a little more wary of an outright sociopath like Azula once he sees her true colors.

You know who's Lawful Good to a fault and kinda bad at knowing when she's being manipulated?

^ Is it this one? This one right here? Because that's delightful! ^

She's not dumb, but if Azula can keep Season 2 levels of chill, she's got a chance at some positive CR, at least.

We'll have to see, I know that arriving in the middle of nightmare toyland isn't going to start her off on the best foot but once things calm down I think she'll start to adjust and do some self care.

Honestly one of the biggest benefits to her mental health will probably be the fact that she's so far away from Zuko and everyone else she wants to kill. No point in obsessing over them if they aren't where she can get to them.

Obviously these two emotionally and mentally unstable manipulative jerks should meet.

My throne's bigger then your throne~

But my throne is has me sitting in it so therefore better

This is a rivalry that I absolutely need to see. Rivalry/acquaintance/whatever the hell it turns out to be. Point is, I need this CR like

burning

8D

Oh I very much look forward to seeing just what she thinks of this tall dark and handsome man :)

Unfortunately for that pun, you must be banished.

BANISHED I SAY!
