A dream is coming to Polaris Pass, one the denizins won't soon forget. Those caught in its warmth will get the chance to live another life, if only for a night. This is an ICC event that takes place in an AU, where your characters can exist as an alternate version of themselves. The event will take place in the Discord server's Event ICC channel, starting on Friday, August 5, 2022 at 9:00am PST and running nigh continuously until Sunday, August 7, 2022 at 4:00pm PST.
Here's what you need to know:
A city of monsters and crime. Hardboiled wolfman detectives hunt down gangster mummies in the rain-slicked streets. It's classic horror movie monsters meets 1920s gangsters. Our story takes place in the Black Lagoon Casino. It's an open secret that the casino's owner, Mr. Black, has criminal ties, but he's never been hooked. More importantly, the casino is hosting a colorful cavalcade of characters for an annual charity ball the aquatic Mr. Black throws every year. Everyone will be there, some for the hors d'oeuvres and some because the casino is currently housing the priceless Eye of Anubis ruby in its vault. Even the enigmatic Adam Prometheus, Frankenstein's Mobster himself, will be there. Things can only go sideways.
Your characters will be citizens of the city. Mobsters, musicians, politicians, reporters and the like. It's all fair game. The only two stipulations are that you have to be a classic movie monster: vampire, mummy, fishman, etc. and your character should want to either steal or stop the theft of the priceless ruby. There will be no powers in this event, everyone will be effectively baselimne human. There will likely be discussions of violence in the main threads. Any other prominent trigger tags beyond brief mentions should be taken to private threads in the event icc channel.
Here's what you need to know:
- You may have one character registered for the event. To register a character, note which character you intend to use by replying to this thread, along with a brief description of the version of themselves that they will be in the dream. For example, in a western setting I would say "Dahlia Black, as a ruthless outlaw and leader of the Torres gang."
- Sleepers are allowed to participate in the event. How much they remember after the fact is up to you, but the dream itself cannot be the direct cause of them becoming aware of the supernatural.
- This event will operate under dilated fluid time. Canonically, your character will go to sleep sometime on the final day of the event and when they wake up, the dream will have occured for them. For our purposes the time within the dream will be fluid as well, taking place over hours or days based on our needs, regardless of how much time it runs in real world time.
- For the duration of the event, your character will not be aware that they are in a dream. Any characters gaining lucidity and trying to break the parameters of the dream will be expelled and be unable to reenter.
