It's BDE Time Again - Beware The Coming Of The AU
Hey, Fandom! It's that time of the season again! From Thursday, the 14 of December to Sunday, the 17th, last year's End of the World AU is coming back - in reverse!
Sure, Monster Zoe's been destroyed, and the future island reattached to the rest of the world - but as it turns out, the rest of the world also lies in ashes. (Albeit a little less full of giant crazy monster-bosses). A tough sell for a people already beaten down and broken - and some of them have snapped. Certain of the world's inevitable doom, they construct a cobbled-together time-machine to return to Fandom and bring the world to a quicker, more merciful end.
A day later, fellow AU-ites with a more optimistic view of the world will find out about their plans and follow them to Fandom, in an effort to stop them from summoning a nameless horror from the depths. But by then, AU-folk-gone-cult will have unleashed a sickness onto the island that can turn the locals into gibbering, cultish accomplices - and started the ritual to unleash the beast from the sea.
So what kind of AU characters can I app for this?
Whether you go for Camp Cult or Camp Save The World, you can app an AU counterpart for any character you play or have played in the past. Yes, even if you didn't play in this AU before. Yes, even if you're not an active player at the moment. Everyone is welcome.
All of the AU characters are still hollowing, slowly losing their memories over time, but that's a gradual process. They can be as far along in it as you want, provided they still have enough consciousness to make decisions. Like jumping into a portal across time and space.
Evil AU people are encouraged to try to fly under the radar as long as possible, to avoid their plan being found out - even if their good islandmates are spilling the beans on day two.
And what about our regular characters?
They can stay regular, or they can be affected by the plague the eeeeevil AU-ites bring with them. That'll cause a slow process of being susceptible to suggestion on day 1, to being fully crazy and all-in on the summoning-the-Eldritch-from-the-deep on day 4. They can start changing on any day of the BDE, and will be cured by the end.
What else do you need?
We'll need a research team to start research on Friday into a way to disrupt the ritual, and a strike team to take out the summoners on Sunday. That will be preplayed, unless everyone who signs up prefers liveplay.
ETA: What if my character is dead in the AU?
The cultists got some practice in before ascending to Eldritch-summoning - and they brought some of the dead back with them.
Those restored dead function mostly the same as the living do, but they can be controlled by evil AU cultists because of the ritual (ie, they can be commanded to do things). So any formerly dead person who comes back will either have to avoid the cultists, or wind up doing their bidding.
The deadline for sign-ups is Monday, December 11th. OCD up!

Or, hell, it's preplay. If you need all three for various reasons, just say so.

If it's totally unreasonable because he's so stinkin' huge or something, that's cool. I have plenty of other pups to chew at, but of course I had to ask. :D

But because Allu-Nika was a monster last AU, this means that Alluka can't have an AU counterpart?
And because Rufus' AU counterpart is dead, does that mean he can't have one either?

Re: Questions!
For the strike team, are we just looking for current Fandomites to sign up? What sort of involvement in that will the AU counterparts who are here to save the day be able to have?
Likewise, for the current Fandomites who are down with the sickness, what role are they able to have in the final summoning? Grunts fighting to protect the masterminds, crazies running around town causing distractions, actual summoners, all of the above, none of the above?
Re: Questions!
Yes, AU counterparts are allowed to sign up for the strike team! As for the sick Fandomites, they'd be doing grunt and fighty work; they're under a spell, not experienced Cthulhu summoning-types like our AU bad seeds.

Re: Questions!
So. Rick & Morty deals with the idea of alternate universes and different versions of the characters a lot. Like, a. LOT, to the point where the lines have been so intertwined, we're not sure which version of who we're even dealing with anymore, especially after the last season really right fucking mixed things up.
I was wondering if I might play this BDE to my canon a bit and actually have AU Summer replace current Summer. I know it's a lot to ask, but it really plays to my canon to sort of muddy the waters a bit. AU!Summer comes back, sees FH!Summer getting all evil-sick, and does the only thing she can think to do: replace her. No one is likely to even know except maybe stupid bus-driver jedi and anyone she tells, but the whole point is that it doesn't matter, because there's so many different versions of her out there already. It's, like, not even a big deal, because it's, like, probably the umpteenth World's End she's seen...
Just an idea that latched on and won't let go, and I'd love your thoughts/concerns/approval.

It's possible I should just, you know, watch the video or something, but meh. . . .
