BDE Reminder!

Hello ladies and gentlegents!

Phase 2 is now well under way, and we love seeing what you've been coming up with! Alumni and island-dwellers are of course welcome to keep noticing things going missing in their home dimensions, but we're going to take a minute to look ahead to Phase 3 now. What does that mean? Well, it means it's time to start looking into who you'd like your still-surviving drops to call before the Nothing comes and drags them off! Starting November 21st, you'll have two weeks to contact the current and/or former island dweller of your choosing with a voicemail message or if need be, a short phone conversation, of your drop calling out for help/cursing the gods/what have you before the Nothing gets them.

We're putting up this post for two reasons: one, so anyone with concrete plans for their drop can choose to let us know the whos and the hows for administrative purposes, and two, so those of you who don't have concrete plans yet can brainstorm. Who's around that your character would call? Or would they rather grab an old-timey authority figure like Zoe, Cable, Deadpool or Anakin? (Consider all of them volunteered if you don't have anyone else.) When would you want to put this through, and how?

Here's your big chance to figure it out!

As for the near future, on November 14th, Portalocity will admit that the portal system is becoming unbalanced and will begin limiting transportation into and out of affected dimensions. Portalocity will shut down all portals for non-Fandom, non-alumni characters on November 20th.

Neither of these actions will directly affect your PC characters, but Portalocity will be making the information available to all customers, so that can be added to the pile of clues that something strange is happening.

I'm hijacking this post's OOC thread for the purpose of giving y'all kudos for the brilliant Portalocity email.

SO THERE.

I have no plans for Sarah. She might call an authority figure first, but I'm up for anything if somebody else wants to talk to a not-freaking-out-rlly spy chick.

Seconded!

Any "world without shrimp" reference gets love from this account.

Not gonna lie, I squeed at that and startled the cat. From a less-relevant account but WHATEVER.

I hereby nominate Portalocity's social media team as Best New NPC or something. Because really.

While Jamie hasn't been around since the beignning he has been around for quite a while. Feel free to drop him a message.

Mostly because I like the idea of Jamie trying to convince Fandom people that there's something seriously wrong only to get ignored because he's Jamie.

Mel will be calling Xander. Because who else are you going to call when the world starts falling apart?

Don't say Ghostbusters.

Steph and Gabs are available for calls, either at random or whatever, if anyone needs 'em.

Actually, Katchoo, Jen, and Anders are also available for calls, now that I think about it. Not the obnoxious one, though.

I signed up Algren ([livejournal.com profile] shiroi_tiger) and Valentine ([livejournal.com profile] importantman) for a final call, without thinking terribly hard about who that contact would be going to.

Or, rather, one call from a flaily formerly-masked waiter who isn't likely to care who's listening so long as they're willing to answer the phone, and a letter, maybe, from Algren? He's been living in Japan, well over a century ago. He's not exactly one with the telephone, there and then.

Can they send letters?

Will there be any problems for characters sending more concrete packages out, rather than the voicemail/phonecall? I know that I was planning for one of my drops to send a parcel to a current character when he noticed things falling apart, and at least one other player I know of has a character who is in a place/time without phones.

I can totally work mine some other way if need be, but if my plans can stay in place, I will totally love you guys forever. :D

There's one drop Ronan better be getting a call from, [livejournal.com profile] grenfelzer. Even if it will freak him right out. ;) And he's also open for calls from any other drops, whether or not they're people he knew!

Oh, hey, yeah! It would be easy enough to say that a message-in-a-bottle type letter went out even before Portalocity cut service, if it saves headaches, and just needed time to get sorted in the mail.

Thanks!

Even a small parcel like a sketchbook? (Just wanted to double-check with a more specific situation, definitely willing to accept a "That's too much, keep it to a letter" here.)

Wes is up for calls, whether or not he knew the person beforehand. Ooh, especially canonmates, because I'm mean and want to break his brain. :D

Our guideline is this: if it's made of paper and fits in a standard manilla envelope, it's cool! Anything bigger is a no.
