missrecalled_oocHoly wow, our second anniversary! How has that even happened?! Thank you all so much for these wonderful years so far!
For some, anniversaries are a time to look back. For some it is a time to look forward. For a second anniversary, why not both?
But wait, how will both work? What kind of weirdo event could involve looking forward and back at the same time?!
This one, of course!
In this event, each character's future is able to send memories back to their younger selves. These will not be whole scenes. Actually they won't be super useful. They will, in fact, be super confusing. Each glimpse is a glimpse, no more.
Again: None of these will not be a full scenes. In fact unless the scenery is necessary to make the glimpse even more puzzling there will be none. Some glimpses will be from the character's point of view (meaning the character's future self isn't visible) and some will be from a veiw point that includes the character. Not every character in the scene will be there, necessarily. and no glimpse should last more than a half minute.
Again, the point of this is to be a cryptic glimpse, a confusion. Fun for the players far more than from the characters.
In fact for those who started their time in this game on the Isle this will be very unfun. Their glimpses should be not just more confusing, but nearly always should be upsetting glimpses. Seeing themselves with someone they hate, for example. Or seeing someone they love in terrible danger.
Wait, did I just say people who started their time in game on the Isle? YEP! You read that right. This event doesn't care if the character is currently in Auradon or on the Isle. The variable factor is instead where the character started!
A twist! I know!
So happy glimpses for the most part for those who started in Auradon and unhappy ones for those who first arrived on the Isle.
Further - some characters in game are in game at the end of their canon. Either for themselves (as in they are dead) or in total. Well, that is where the bonus fun comes in! Because the characters are here now. Their fates may well have been changed because of it! This includes head canoning them staying in this world, or jumping to another world with another game. Or maybe they went home, and shockingly were still alive there. Somehow because they were here.
Okay so lets see, we covered that the bad glimpses go mostly to those who appeared first on the Isle, and good ones to those who started in Auradon. And we know how we can handle anyone who is at the end of their canon if they want to. What else is left?
The order.
As much as is reasonably possible, these glimpses should happen in chronological order, starting from as soon as they return to their world (or for those staying in this world when the game ends, figure about 10 years as the start point to keep from creating headcanons that conflict too wildly). As for where they stop...
You are hereby advised NOT to go to the last possible canon point - whatever that may be for you - because part two... will be using that last moment. More details will come for that when the second half drops.
For now, the best way to think of it is that your character's future self is trying to send memories back to their younger selves, but the connection is worse than voice chat on Discord when everyone on the call is doing falsetto voices. But they're not going to show their current moment, they're building to it.
Please note that all the usual rules for the game apply and these future memory snippets are subject to the same magical censoring, though you could feel free to have the "transmission" just cut out over the whole of the swear word, rather than replacing it.
Alright! If you have questions, leave them below.
