It's that BDE-tiful Time of the Season

Ladies and gents of Fandom! Big Damn Event time is once again at hand!
On the night of Wednesday August 4th into Thursday August 5th, something is going to go terribly wrong with the island. The machinery underneath the school is, in a cosmic sense, the same machinery across all different versions of Fandom. Eventually, after a few hints during the week that something is not quite right, it will finally buck and fail under the pressure of being used so often recently across so many dimensions. The effects will be disastrous, cleaving the skies to bits and cracking the interdimensional walls that keep Fandom safely separate from the rest of the multiverse.
What will this mean for the island?
It means that parts of the island will begin disappearing into the multiverse - and other things will be pouring in through the holes left behind them. Fandom will lose many of its characteristic establishments, and suck in only nasties to replace them. The end of the line result? The destruction of the entire island!
At least, if things aren't stopped before they get out of hand. Townies and teachers will be able to volunteer their homes and places of work for the Great Black (and Temporary) Void; the entire island is going to be dealing with the interlopers and struggling for a way to fix the damage.
And for those of you with particularly sadistic tastes, your characters, too, can get sucked into a hole and temporarily vanish from the multiverse entirely, left in limbo until the island has been rescued from its fate.
But wait! There's more!
During the early breakage, some of Fandom's finest will be sucked through the crack in reality. Rather than be frozen in the void as will happen to later victims, these folks will find themselves thrown into one of three rather inhospitable worlds, which are also in danger from the gaping holes in reality. Their task, once they awake? To survive long enough to follow the cracks, figure out a way to fix the Fandom machinery, and get home before it's too late.
Your choices, which will be explained upon in greater detail later, are as follows: a barren, irradiated wasteland on the East Coast; a murky underwater base full of hidden danger-- or an abandoned coal mining town hiding its fair share of nightmares...
The BDE will wrap up on Sunday, August 8th. Keep an eye out for sign-ups and more details this week! Questions? Comments? Pie? (With marzipan on the top?)
