BDE: Info and Sign-Ups!

[rebelseekspizza]

Salutations, Fandom! We promised you more details about the BDE, and lo and behold, we bring you details

DAY ONE: The island wakes up and finds that the mainland is gone. Any kind of mainland. The expanse around them is all ocean, and mobile phones and the internet have stopped working. By afternoon, tremors are hitting the island.

Reason for concern, right?

Of course, rooting out the tremors will reveal that there's a smallish infestation of giant easter bunnies - about the size of a house - in the park, and every time they jump, it shakes the island. Oops. Research team? Hit the books!

DAY TWO: The research team has been hitting the books. They figure out something has gone totally wrong downstairs, and root out a way to fix it.

Meanwhile, the amount of crazy animals on the island has exploded. What will you see - and probably have to fight, they're all aggressive - on the island? Jackalopes, snipes, alligators spitting goldfish, drop bears, hoop snake, wild haggis, the ferocious Nauga (where Naugahyde comes from, naturally), and the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus.

Oh, and an alot of teal. Multiple alots of teal. These aren't aggressive in the fighty sense, but they will totally stalk anyone who talks too much, in large groups.

DAY THREE: We journey into the catacombs of the island! Deep in the machinery of the island, you will fight a nearly endless supply of crazy critters - including the dreaded gremlin-squirrel hybrid - on your way to throw the switch that will set everything to rights.

Wot we need from you
Sign-ups! We need research teamers for the weekend (April 15th and April 16th), a headcount of who wants to go into the island's catacombs for April 17th, and anyone who wants to be the one who throws the switch will need to throw their hat into the ring in the appropriate OCD. Deadline for sign-ups is Thursday, April 13th.

That's it?
Yep! It's a nice, fun, no-frills Easter throwdown. Mod your own crack, or bug us for an NPC or brainstorming for plans!

I Wanna Throw The Switch!

[rebelseekspizza]

Throw your hat in the ring for the hit-the-button-and-or-switch-that-makes-everything-else-right-again RNG! It'll involve a very short bit of liveplay on Monday, April 17th.

RE: I Wanna Throw The Switch!

Questions/Comments!

[rebelseekspizza]

Those go here.

Re: Questions/Comments!

[vdistinctive]

So how much liveplay is anticipated for, say, the research team on Easter Sunday? That's Big Family Party day for me, so I'll be AFK until evening, EDT.

Re: Questions/Comments!

[rebelseekspizza]

Not necessarily a lot - a few clues have to be found (which can happen in a one-ping comment with someone else noticing afterwards) and someone has to put them together, but we don't anticipate long liveplay threads.

OOC

[rebelseekspizza]

Thumbs up if you have to work on Easter.

*thumbs*

RE: OOC

[boneyard_girl]

Oh yeah. Working the theater. Wicked. Easter weekend. Invasion of the entitled suburbanites who will start screaming that I'm ruining their Easter.

Re: OOC

[rebelseekspizza]

I'm saving some egg-booze for you, ma'am.

RE: OOC

[spin_kick_snap]

Easter is a paid holiday for me! Or, like, Good Friday or Easter Monday is. One of those holidays. Look, I'm bad at religious holidays. I thiiink Monday?

WHATEVER, TIME TO WATCH THE BEST VERSION ON JCS AND GET PAID FOR IT.

RE: OOC

[greenexorcist.livejournal.com]

Good Friday for us!

Re: OOC

[boneyard_girl]

I get Good Friday off from the library! ...so I'm getting taxes done and working Wicked that night. BUT I HAVE HOURS IN THE MIDDLE TO PLAAAAAAAY.

Re: OOC

[rebelseekspizza]

Officially speaking Easter is a paid holiday in the Netherlands, too. Including Second Easter Day.

But ahahahahahaah journalism cares not for your holidays.

Re: OOC

[spin_kick_snap]

...wtf is Second Easter?

Re: OOC

[rebelseekspizza]

Known as Easter Monday in some places, but Second Easter Day here.

Re: OOC

[spin_kick_snap]

Pfft, too much holidaying. Doesn't seem properly Calvinist to ME.

Re: OOC

[rebelseekspizza]

Holidaying FOR GOD!

RE: Re: OOC

[greenexorcist.livejournal.com]

And on the Second Easter, God rested.

Re: OOC

[spin_kick_snap]

I TURNED OUT TO BE WRONG, WOE. I GET NO EASTER LOVE!

Re: OOC

[not_every_mage]

I am going to be on vacation so I'm not going to take a sign-up spot, but just try to stop me from throwing Anders into as many fights against jackalopes as I can manage.
