throughaphaseWe interrupt your BDE for an announcement of another event coming next week! Have you had enough of getting randomly dumped somewhere not of your choosing against your will? Well too bad, it's different this time! Welcome to Layover Week!
For this week, when you leave your dorm/house/apartment/etc. intending to go to work/class/social life, you will instead be transported to a different location. The same location as a bunch of other people who didn't mean to be there. And no matter how hard you try, you cannot leave that location until exactly 30 minutes after you arrived. Any powers or devices that would normally get you out (phasing, teleportation, portals, etc) will simply not work for as long as you're trapped. (Annoyingly they'll work just fine for anyone outside the transportation location.) After that, you can walk right out the door and go on with your day if you so choose.
For instance: Kitty leaves home to go run some errands and is transported to the Perk. For as long as she's in that location, Kitty can't phase out. Alexis was there before her, and so after 30 minutes Alexis happens to try the door and waltzes right out, leaving Kitty really insulted by what just happened until her 30 minutes are up. There's also nothing announcing that your time is over so however you would like to find that out (if you play it out at all) is up to you. And yes, your character may have just suffered a BDE-related trauma, so know that weetiny weekend rules apply: you know you're somewhere different, you can feel however you want about being there/getting out, but the freak out won't be there.
Everyone who's affected that day will end up at the same location. If the location that day is The Perk, you won't find yourself transported to Ching Tai or wherever instead. And if you don't want to do it, or don't want to do it every day, that's totally fine. There will be one post per day, so everyone who ends up in the location can interact and we can handwave timing as necessary.
This will start on Monday, July 19 and then on Friday, July 23, the Discord's wishes from a month ago come true: people will be transported to either a girls' warehouse or a boys' warehouse, where they'll have their separate slumber parties for the night!
A few rules regarding the slumber parties:
