PLOT: hide and seek

Hide and Seek
February 1st - February 15th

Soon, the Plane's residents will be involved in a game they never signed up for.

One... what's going on?
For the duration of this plot, the Plane will be covered in a run-down version of Tokyo. The sky and ground are still stars when not covered. The architecture ranges from high to low, a mixture of modern and temple-like inspiration. The lights are sparse and flickering, giving the impression of a sleeping city. Here's some ideas of what it will look like. 1 2 3 4

There will be instructions on flyers posted throughout the city. They seem to have been there for some time. Written on them is the following:

To win hide and seek,
hide from darkness and seek the light.

If your character wants to nope the fuck right out, they are welcome to do so. Unless your character is captured, they can travel freely to and from the Plane. However, all characters will be depowered during this event. This includes powers granted by previous Plane deaths.

Two... what do we have to face?
Unspeakably cruel demons can be found lurking around almost every corner. There are four of varying themes-- a lion, a many-armed monster, a dragon, and a tentacled monstrosity reminiscent of an elder god-- and they're each the size of a building. They're impervious to harm and move fast. If they catch someone, they'll eat them and be gruesome about it. It's not a true death, however; victims will wake up trapped in a pod-like contraption with iron bars, unable to escape or drop from the Plane. They can talk to other prisoners, though.

In order to turn the lights on and release the prisoners, those participating must delve into the maze-like city and find five golden keys. Each key is marked with a different symbol-- star, moon, sun, heart, and diamond. These keys correspond with the lock on a giant metal door in the center of town.

Three... how is this going to happen?
There will be a post in the main community that anyone can tag into, with different sections for different parts of the city. Exploration is encouraged. So is threadjacking. I will be dropping in occasionally to toss a demon or a clue your way.

When all keys are found, another post will go up with the door and what lies beyond it.

Four... this isn't my jam.
If you don't want to participate, you don't have to. Your character can hide in his/her world. However, if you'd like to make them a part of the plot some other way, you can have them be prisoners from the start.
