Plot Ideas Post


Part of the great fun of dressing rooms (and RP in general) is when massive amounts of ridiculous shenanigans happen. Each month YDR will sponsor an event or two (to be determined) where the island just goes . . . nuts.


So here is our question to you: what events would you like to see? We're collecting ideas and will make them into a monthly poll. Classic plots like bodyswaps are great fun (and I personally always endorse that one particularly), but please feel free to suggest others, as well--more unusual plots are a nice change from the classics.

Remember however, while you can always make suggestions below, they won't be included in the current vote.

The Current Voting page is here.

Of course, you can also use this page to send in any questions concerning the current set up for events as well; if you have complaints or suggestions to make, do that here!

I HAVE IDEAS

[personal profile] marbledmask 2013-05-06 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
THREE IDEAS. which probably all suck but I'm gonna offer them anyway

Self-Run Body Swap -- Basically, instead of a muse swapping bodies with someone else's muse, they instead swap with another character from their own universe. In other words, the Mun will be temporarily playing another character... Through the same account.

For example--I take Shaman AU Crow, and temporarily play as though he swapped with his world's Yuusei (who's basically Yuusei with glasses tbh). The muse they swap with doesn't belong to another mun--only to you!

Leaking Soul Rooms -- For the duration of the event, the island is replaced in some areas by the muse's soulroom, or, should the mun wish it, some sort of dream-scape or memory of theirs. Perhaps the change is only scenic, or perhaps certain actions trigger views of memories or dreams and the like--that part is entirely up to the mun (Though it'd be good to check with who you thread with before doing that sort of thing.)

Time Warp! -- Your muse is suddenly either de-aged, or aged further! So either they're suddenly an adult (or older!), or they've regressed to childhood. This could be a physical change only, or even only a mental change (the mind thinks its four or twelve or fifty, but the body is yet eighteen.). Depends on what everyone wants, really.

Sudden Nudity! -- Every article of clothing on the island disappears. Any attempts at making new clothes fail because the fabric magically disintegrates. The plot ends with shirts, skirts, robes, and socks raining from the sky: a literal fashion disaster.

The Birds -- Thousands of birds suddenly flock all over the island for no reason whatsoever. They block roadways, shit on every window of every car, and randomly swoop down to attack unprovoked. They'll even fly down the chimney to try to get into your house! At the end of the plot, they suddenly leave with no explanation for why they came or what they wanted.

The Rainbow Virus -- It starts with just a cough, a sniffle, or an awkwardly loud fart. The next thing you know, rainbow-colored goo is oozing out of your mouth, nose, tear ducts, and ass (but not necessarily simultaneously). Within 48 hours, your skin breaks out in a rash of multicolored polka dots ranging in size from that of a pinhead to the diameter of a US quarter. Pups who become infected with it can spread it to other pups and it is highly contagious. The virus is airborne, remains communicable for the first four days after infection, and runs its course over about a week. The rash can take up to a month to fully heal.

Glitter, Make It Rain -- The island volcano erupts--you guessed it--GLITTER! Sparkly ash falls all over everywhere.

Sex Swap: Extreme Edition -- Also known as the "scare the shit out of your pups when they go to pee in the morning" plot, a twist on your classic genderbend shenanigans! Pups wake up with different anatomy than what they had the night before, though said anatomy may not be fully male or female--or even human, for that matter! [cue Yubel wondering what everyone is so freaked out about]

I like the idea of playing with their ages, lots of fun to be had there!

My idea I'd had a while back was that peoples' ka/shadows start appearing somehow. Or maybe just a matter of...

Whenever anyone duels, some of the monsters end up sticking around afterwards. ("Shoo, back in your card!" "But I don't *want* to.."

hang on, i got some more dumb ideas

[personal profile] boogie_princess 2013-05-20 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
The Meaticane: A hurricane hits the island and leaves behind... sausage links. And bacon. And hot wings. And even some tofu for the vegetarian pups. It'll be the strangest, yet most delicious, cleanup job in the history of everything.

Here There Be Dragons: Dragon-type monsters start appearing all over the island. No one summoned them, no one commands them, and no one's sure why they insist on hoarding cards and roosting around the volcano.

A Duel Monsters Tournament: Why the fuck not? This is a YGO roleplay community.

Bees! Bees Everywhere!: Self-explanatory. Placido and any insect duelists should be thrilled.

Stupid Hair Plot: Any character with a reasonable hairstyle will suddenly have main protag levels of weirdness on their head. Characters whose hair is already ridiculous will find themselves looking... normal. They may not even be recognizable by characters they've known all their lives! Alternatively, their hair gets even weirder (assuming that's possible).

ETA: I did say they were dumb ideas.

Animal Season: Pups are shifted into the form of an animal, whatever mun chooses! Could even vary in intensity; one pup could be completely dog-shaped, while another only has ears and tail or something.

This can go forward to the next event voting or whatever.

Dangerous Plants - Some of the plants on the island change and/or new plants start popping up. Either way, the islands' plants are now out to kill you, injure you, affect your emotions/body chemistry, and so on. They might also be semi-sentient. So if you're walking by and you look like a snack, watch out!


Costume Ball! - i was thinking maybe we could do this for the week of halloween whether there's another event going or not? maybe? we should do something for halloween it's the best

ANYWAY two options: 1) costumes & announcements appear in shops, there's a party for everyone on Halloween, everything is great; or 2) costumes, party, but when you put on a costume, you think you are whatever the costume is until it comes off/for a set period of time

A trifectia of horror plots for Halloween!

[personal profile] cadetibet 2013-07-22 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's only July but have them anyway--

Zombie Apocalypse: You know the drill. The walking dead roam the island. Their fluids are toxic, and their bites are lethal and contagious - to everyone. [Taking out a zombiefied Barian sounds... fun.] The thing is, however, that while the bite will kill you in roughly three to five days, you'll still find yourself in Old Momentum in 24 hours. Your corpse will still roam the streets, but you'll be fine. On November 1st they will all spontaneously die. Just don't let them get to Old Momentum...

Ghostpocalypse: This one is similar to the above, but inspired by Fatal Frame/Project Zero rather than Resident Evil. The island is cast into an eternal month-long night, and ghosts, visible to all, roam the area. They may even be known to the muses, but that's not a requirement. Some want to help. Most want to kill you, and if they do, you'll become a ghost as well. Only, unlike in the previous idea, the pup will stay that way until the end of the month. They can't be fought with conventional weapons, and are only damaged by bright light. Again, on November 1st, they'll all die with sunrise.

Welcome to Silent Island - [or maybe Island Hill?] Silent Hill inspired. Same mechanics as above: Monsters roaming the streets that will die on November 1st, want to kill anyone they encounter. If you die you'll revive as normal but without any items you had on hand before the apocalypse started, including weapons. The whole island is covered in a thick mist, and the only indication monsters are nearby are static on whatever electronic devices you have, dueling related included. However, these monsters seem to be based on the pup's background and memories. What one person sees might not be what another sees. After all, "they look like monsters to you?"

What to Expect When You're Expecting: This is not it. At the start of the month, muses have an odd dream about another person throwing a water balloon at them that hits a certain body part. This person can be from their world, or, if agreed on by both parties, another muse on the Island. When they wake up, they, um, experience symptoms that indicate that they're pregnant. This is confusing to everyone because any gender can have either been hit by the balloon or have thrown it. More than that, during the middle of the month, a lump will develop on the hit body part. If left alone, at the very end of the month, the muse will wake up and discover that the lump has 'popped', leaving an interesting gem in the shape of the lump, along with undamaged new skin. Muses will probably want to keep the gems, but they don't have to.

Alignment Switch - Your muse starts acting completely opposite to how they normally would. However the mun wants to take it! Shy to outgoing and vice versa, good to evil... anything goes.

[personal profile] clockworkcrow 2013-09-04 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Memory Wipe - character wakes up having forgotten something as small as when their birthday is. Or maybe it's a bit bigger, like a few months or years. Which could give rise to questions such as 'what am I doing here? Why am I dressed like this? And, potentially, why have a got a baby?

This isn't a time warp - they simply temporarily get amnesia of some kind.
akingalways: (CERBERUS' NINE BALLS)

I HAVE JUST ONE PLOT IDEA RIGHT NOW OK

[personal profile] akingalways 2013-09-04 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Witch Plot: A plot based on Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Is there a wish your character has always wanted? Well, for characters involved in this plot, the good news is, it got granted! The bad news is, the logic of your wish collapsed into itself, you've come to hate the world and have given up on hoping for better, and now, your character is a non-Euclidean monster that is an embodiment of despair. Because of this, non-affected characters have to kill you - preferably, before they start going nuts and decide to kill themselves while high on the Krazy Kool-Aid vapors which inexorably ooze from your abominable pores.

Oops.

I've got a lot of them this time --

Every Chromosome is a Hand-Me-Down: [I really wanted to do a Weird Al pun but I'm too lazy to do in-depth research] Muses have the ability to create clones! Clones limited only to the mun's ability to play them! Clone muses act and think like the original one, and there is no difference between a clone-muse and the original, except that a clone will 'pop' a la Naruto's clones upon being killed, and their memories reabsorbed by all of the other copies of that character. If the original muse dies, all the clones will die as well, with the original muse regaining their memories after their revival. They're treated more as extensions of the original character than separate ones. At the end of the month, they'll all disappear, with exceptions if the mun wishes. Also, some muses might retain this power after the end of the month, abet a more limited version...

And Now, the Weather: Muses find a working but abandoned radio station and proceed to take it over. Hijinks and Night Vale jokes ensue. If the muses aren't driven out by the end of the month [for whatever reason] it becomes a permanent part of the Island. Further events may occur involving or because of it.

Back to you Jin: Just like the above, but with a TV station instead! 8D

Lights, Camera, Action! [Part 1????]: A muse/group of muses or a very pushy NPC decide to make a movie, and spends the whole month bullying everyone they can into participating and preparing for the filming at a later time or outright trying to shoot it, depending on what muns decide.

Winter Wonderland: It's snowing! At first its just a light sprinkling, but as the month goes on, it gets heavier and more violent. By the end of the month, the whole island is covered in snow or ice - even the desert! At the end of the month, it all disappears... Or...

The Big Melt: The island is flooded! Buildings are covered! And... floating... And those ships weren't there before, were they? Too bad they can't leave the island even though it's now UNDERWATER... The Big Melt becomes the Big Flush at the end of the month. Sure to be quite a sight.

Kaiju Attack!: Heartland City and the vicinity is now synonymous with Tokyo in the eyes of every Godzilla rip-off in the area. Good thing someone finds the giant robots that have been under the island the whole time... Pity said robots need two compatible pilots to operate...

SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DIE JAEGER: Exactly what you're thinking - it's just like the above, now with 100% more naked genital-less humanoids! 8D And less giant robots. Possibly. Oh yeah, and of course the whole revival thing stands. Enjoy getting eaten by things over and over and over again!

There's probably more but I think I'll stop here for now. ^^

Once Upon a Time - the island is turned into an island kingdom from a fairytale. Everything on the island changes into various fantasy tropes - including the muses' clothes. All of them. Clothing corresponds to various roles and characters in fairy tales and fantasy, but thankfully, the pups aren't mentally geared into these roles, and the clothes can changed for different roles clothing. Have fun storming the castle! There are several now.

'As You Once Were, So Shall You Be!' - This isn't an age swap, oh no... Far from it. Got a past life? A reincarnation? From the moment the event starts, muses will find themselves stuck in the body of some prior self, be it a form taken before a curse, or something similar. The only thing that won't change is their eyes--windows to the soul and all that, right?

Even applies to disguises, recent power-ups, or previously forgotten wardrobe choices if the mun feels particularly bored.

Heartland is turned into a Labyrinth. You can't go over the walls, or through them or under them. You have to work your way past traps etc. to get to Heartland Tower. In the tower there's a button to disable all traps, but here's the catch - there will be some pups who're out to sabotage efforts to get to it!

Ideas and details of plans are up for discussion.

THE ISLAND HAS FOUND YOU GUILTY

[personal profile] hatebuster 2013-12-20 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
And has sent all guilty parties to prison.

For the duration of the event, pups aren't able to go outside of the prison - it might have an outside training area, but that would be about it.

Pups would be divided into cell blocks - which would actually be really useful if you wanted to have character A getting more CR with character B, C, D etc. This would only affect where they're sleeping and who with, really.

Muses' main 'crimes' will be written out on a tag, similar to a 'Hello, My Name Is...' but it'd have their name (as given) and crime. For instance: [Kiryu Yukari: Attempted Manslaughter]. If you want, you could put numbers (people affected, etc.

Shenanigans can ensue, since this is really just a change in situation and no real punishments would take place if you did something against the 'rules', so to speak.

'I Am a Shadow, the True Self!' - An unnatural fog appears all across the island for the duration of this event! But the fog brings something with it--twisted mirror images of the pups, with gold eyes (or red eyes, in the cases of the characters who already have gold eyes)! These aren't just any ordinary duplicates, however, they're Shadow selves, formed from the parts of the pups that they hide, ignore, or otherwise repress. If a pup can face their other self and accept it, they'll get a nice surprise out of the deal, their very own Persona! Which is definitely a good thing, particularly for the ones more reluctant to accept their Shadows... Especially since if a Shadow gets denied, it will go berserk, transform, and attack! Pups should watch out, because there's three words guaranteed to piss their Shadows off: "You're not me!"

Strangled By the Red String - "Two people destined to be lovers are connected by a red string tied at their pinkies, and though this magic string may stretch or tangle, it will never break." All across the island, muses will wake up with a red string connecting them to their "true love", which will (of course) make the two connected muses fall in love for the duration of the event! (Alternately-colored strings and appropriate emotions for each can be added for extra shenanigans at the mods' discretion)

Tongue-tied: If the character is talking to someone they have a crush on, then nothing they say to that character makes any sense. They could be speaking what they think is perfect words, but they either aren't. They really aren't.

And since not everyone is crushing on someone, some characters might just end their sentences with something weird and misplaced when talking to a friend or someone they care about. (Think Jarvis in Iron Man 3, and blueberries.)

Major:

Screens: People are trapped in a building and posed with a challenge, which must be fullfilled in order to escape. This challenge concerns a precious 'thing' of theirs, which they must retreive. Other muses may still interact with these people, even infiltrating the building to lend assistance. Further details of the event will be released when it begins, but there is, much like the previous 'wide scale event', a 'Host'... ...And the Host will be quick to warn the participants that not everyone there is friendly to their cause...

I Ain't Fraid of No Ghost: A lighter Halloween event. The ghosts are back, but this time, the island is prepared. Who ya gonna call? GHOST BUSTERS! By sucking the ghosts into these specially designed tanks, you remove them from the island AND force anyone who turned into a ghost to respawn as a human. Similar rules as the first ghost event apply.

Minor:

Victorianna: It's a steampunk event. Grab your geared tophats and bulletproof corsets!

Groundhog's Day Loop: Everyone is trapped in a time loop. That would be bad enough, but they're all stuck in separate time loops, so while you might be stuck on the 1st of the month, when you talk to your best friend, they're stuck on the 15th. At the end of the month, time straightens out, with all memories organized accordingly [though the fact that the day repeated isn't forgotten either].

Bad, Bad Board Games: Jumangi event. This is why everyone plays card games folks.

Everybody Must Get Stoned: Sorry, not in the pleasant way. Starting from the bottom, the entire island is petrified. This includes animate beings if given the chance. Yes, even if they started out as stone. The island goes back to normal at the end of the month, like it never even happened.

DUELS. IN. SPAAAAAAACE: The island is now a space station, with certain places being similarly changed, and other staying the same for 'historical accuracy'. Interesting to note that the ocean still remains, in a sense...

'Let it Go' - Got regrets? Gone. Fears? Gone. A sense of modesty?

....

During this event, all inhibitions--or maybe just a handful, depending--are completely let go. Anything holding muses back from enjoying themselves and their dreams are lost to the wind for the entire month (or however long mun's decide on), and the results will vary incredibly--after all, everyone loves a bit of fun! ...Just that the definition of fun might vary.

Grand Heist Face: So... You know those NPCs that help you out? That NPC who helped you lift your groceries one time? Or that one who cooks your food? Well... for one whole month, they're going to attempt to rip your face off and wear it as their own to steal your identity!

EVERY NPC is out to get you so you better run. They'll either literally cut your face off or absorb it, leaving you blank, faceless, and unable to control your own identity, screaming in the darkness without a mouth. NPCs will walk and talk with the captured player's face... For the rest of the month regardless of death.

Faulty Data: the island seems tons e transformed into a bugged datascape, and there are faults in the coding all over the place. Even you might be bugged. But at least it's not too hard to fix the worst of them - by defeating the bugged data. Be careful though - that bugged data might just end up being YOU.

[personal profile] thirdsigneraki 2014-10-06 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Märchen Rhapsody: Märchen? It means fairytale or folklore. From Little Red Riding Hood to Cinderella. Any stories in that category. So what exactly are we doing? Post your muse cosplaying as a fairy tale character and the catch is that they will think they really are Cinderella or Little Red. Or the Big Bad Wolf. Take your pick.

Who Am I again?: For some reason your muse takes a serious knock to the head and has now forgotten EVERYTHING. They are at the mercy of those they meet to fill in their memories. the catch is, the island will strongly tempt others to suggest FALSE memories.
satisfiedpapa: (Default)

[personal profile] satisfiedpapa 2014-10-15 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Secrets will out: For the entire month, your muse has a secret written plainly on their person (or broadcast in some other way for those who can't see/read). They can't get it to go away.

Secret can be anything from something innocuous like 'I was the one who stole that ramen'/just plain embarrassment to something that could cause serious disputes. Or both. Both is good.

Attack of the Duel Zombies - I'm stealing this right out of GX. Something is turning both NPCs and muses into zombies! Zombies hungry for... duels. Physical attacks bounce right off, cars included. The only way to stop them is to duel them, or, y'know, get the hell out of the way.

One with the Sky: Muses gain the ability to fly! Maybe they grow wings, or they discover they can float, or they're reunited with a partner that grants them this ability. At the mun's discretion, the gained abilities may linger after the month's end.

Pirates - Hoist the colors or man the canons, pirates have set their eyes on the island! Muses may find themselves recruited [as in 'wake up in strange place with no idea what's going on'] by either the pirates or the navy that sprang up overnight to fight them off. Or, they could be forced to choose sides by other means - it's a pirate event folks, we all know what pirates do: kidnapping, drinking, booty hunting, and more.

In-[y]uya-sha! - aka welcome to feudal japan! everyone wakes up with a new job and set of clothing as per island setting changes, but some may change species too, turning into yokai. Actual yokai will probably spend this event laughing at everyone.

Standard Fairytale Reward - [oh this one is kinda questionable/skeevy near the end isn't it] on the first of the month, muses awaken in a different place, surrounded by NPCs proclaiming them of a status they didn't have before - princes and princesses especially, although they're not limited to those roles. For the first week, the muses adjust to this new lifestyle and then are kidnapped, either by the island's intentions or another muse[s]. Reasons can vary but tend to follow fairytale logic, with a common one being that they're abducted for marriage. Following this mass abduction, the head NPCs declare that any who rescues one of the abducted 'royals' will gain their hand in marriage! The rest of the month is spent trying to achieve or deny, well, the standard fairytale reward. Muses successfully rescued by other muses are then declared engaged, with a wedding date set. Muses not rescued from NPCs find themselves on the first of the new month in bed/'bed' like it never even happened. However, muses not rescued from other muses - specifically muses that were declared by the NPCs to have marriage in mind - will also have a wedding date set, whether the two like it or not.

Atlantis - The island is underwater! And... everyone can breath just fine. Literally no different than normal, physics seems to be fairly normal too, its just - everything is underwater. Sea current 'highwaves' flow in and around the island's many regions and allow for faster travel. These highways may stay after the end of the month, surely to the delight of the many seabound muses that call the island's coastal waters home.

Trickle Down Effect -- Muses are 'leaking' memories. Good or bad, doesn't matter, but either anyone in their vicinity is experiencing it, or it hits people they pass in the form of a flashback.

Creature Swap - From the start to the end of the month every muse with a deck finds it switched with a completely different and random archetype. It can be totally random, be something ironic like an xyz deck becoming a fusion deck, or keep to the same extra deck summoning style (unless you're Monarchs).

Since this alone doesn't automatically mean the new deck would see play, this event would be an add-on to a Dueling Tournament or "Attack of the Duel Zombies".

[personal profile] cryrebellion 2015-03-11 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Future Visions - For the duration of the month, muses are swapped out with a version of themselves from further forward in their timeline, whether it be one month, one year, or more. While this might be a good thing for some, for others...well, not so much.

Nightmare Wheel - Muses begin experiencing disturbingly realistic nightmares...which are indeed completely real, and can drag in anyone who happens to be passing at the time. The only way to escape is to either solve the problem at the heart of the nightmare, or wake the muse up, but good luck with either of those when you're in there with them.

Skill Swap - Muses switch powers with either someone else on the island, or someone from their home world. Ordinarily superpowered muses may find themselves normal squishy humans for the month, while normal ones might gain some unexpected (and possibly uncontrollable) new abilities.

RIGHT SO I CAME UP WITH SOME HALLOWEEN EVENTS-- (and shhh it's not double posting if I'm on a different account)

They're both based on movies. So. Unimaginative names gogogo.

The Thing - Something extraterrestrial crashes on the island! ...Except it's a 'living virus'-style shapeshifter which will infect and assimilate you given half the chance, and you bet it's going to be using your loved ones' faces to get at you - it can become anyone it's assimilated. Assimilated muses will take on the abilities of the Thing but at the cost of being dominated by its will. They're probably aware enough to be inwardly horrified at assimilating their friends, but that's about it. The only way to kill them is with fire; normal weapons just plain ol' don't work, and anything that severs part of the body will only cause that body part to scuttle off and make another Thing. So, you know, good luck if you care about literally anyone else on the island, because they might be an alien shapeshifter out to assimilate you. And these assimilations can be pretty damn horrifying - the creature fusing its body to yours as it absorbs you, for example.

Eight-Legged Freaks - Giant spiders escape from...somewhere, and make their home in a shiny new cave system under the island, in some abandoned buildings, so on and so forth. You might stumble across trapdoor spider-style traps or webs above ground, except these things are huge, and the spiders are going to be dragging people off and webbing them up for eventual eating. Victims can be saved by their friends in this interim, but look out - if you go into the nest, you won't just be having to avoid spiders. You'll have to be getting web off faces to actually identify anyone (or just look at their hair which is probably poking out...assuming they have no like-haired doubles down there) and if any of them have already been bitten but not eaten, they might be rather spidery themselves. Or part-spidery, at least.

[Insert Animal Pun here]: So every animal, animal-based creature, and monster thing (and Pokemon) on the island? They all become human. Take your pick on how many traits of their previous form is retained.

Littlest Pet Shop: So you wake up and for those that don't have their own animal companion? You now have the most perfect pet suited to you! The most perfect for being your new best friend for the month or driving you and everyone else bonkers. Either way, the two of you will be inseparable!

Freaky Friday - But for a month. Muses switch bodies. Whether the muse is required to take good care of their new form before its "returned' is at mun discretion.

Super Kamen Rider Sentai Rangers - Monsters are attacking! Villains are plotting to conquer the Nexus! The island needs teenagers with attitude muses to band together and defeat the forces of evil!
The Nexus compels inspires you to come together Super Sentai/Power Ranger style; be a lone wolf drifter that fights alone, or put aside differences in order to unite as a team of Kamen Riders.
But of course, not all muses are destined to be on the side of good. Be granted great power for opposing these masked heroes...! (With the scale of storytelling this could become, could be considered a major event?)

Released from the Cursed Prison - Got a dark side? Inner demon? A bestial spirit sealed within thyself? A SHARD OF A DESTRUCTION GOD'S SOUL? Now they are all free. While possessing their host, they shall wreak havoc. So, who are the muses that dare to stand in their way?

Monster House: Muses become monsters for the duration of the month, the choice being up to the player. Affected muses who are already monsters have the option of becoming human, turning into a different monster, or becoming a more advanced/exaggerated form of their current monster.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: All food sold from NPC-run stores starts developing weird and wonderful side effects. Some might just tweak your emotional state (make you happy, sad, make you hungry or sleepy), but some might cause more serious (if temporary) changes in behaviour or personality, e.g. inverting moral alignments or ramping up a certain positive or negative trait to uncontrollable levels.

Mirror, Mirror: Any muse who owns or encounters a mirror during this month may potentially be dragged into a "mirror" of the DR island, the cities fraught with danger and despair and friends turned to villains. The main island cannot be returned to through the mirror you entered through and they're not necessarily in the same places (or even intact) in the mirror world, but you can communicate with other muses through the original mirror and hopefully talk one of them in to save your ass.

Come dance with me!: Regardless of you prefer the Steven Universe way or the Dragon Ball way, turns out that suddenly you can fuse with someone else to make a new person altogether! Are you a being of love and justice, made from the strength of your bonds with another? Or are you stuck together with someone you loathe, and are now an unstoppable rage monster? You're fused now and you may not be able to fuse back (up to the players involved).

Relationflip: It's a relationship event! Regardless if it's friendship or romantic love, how you feel towards someone else does a complete 180. Suddenly boyfriends hate each other! Suddenly enemies are getting all cozy together! It can either affect both of the people involve or just one, but at the end of the month, but you remember all the horrible/mushy things you said/did to that person. Hopefully you didn't say or do anything particularly irredeemable...

If the Shoe Fits: Everybody's forced to wear different kinds of shoes than they usually do. People who wear boots now wear sandals. People who wear sneakers wear high heels. People who don't wear shoes do now. All the shoes muses own are changed to the island's tastes, and acquiring new ones will lead to them changing on your feet. You can take them off, sure, but the minute you get distracted enough, they'll magically appear on your feet. Don't break your ankle walking in those ten inch platforms now...

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME MUM/"It's not a phase"/whatever non ridiculous name the mods can come up with: Body modification event! Ever wondered what your character would look like with certain tattoos/piercings/scarring/etc? Got something appropriate to their canon or AU to mark them with? This is the month for anything from a new piercing or two to a new full-body tattoo and all combinations and permutations in-between, granted by the island with a remarkable lack of finicky healing problems (or maybe not, if you want to play that out). Some changes might even last past the end of the month.

Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange: To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. Muses do not resurrect in the usual spot. Instead, they come back in a new location, where they're trapped in for the rest of the month, suffering. Friends and loved ones can go request the mysterious guardian that keeps these muses trapped to set them free, but the guardian will tell them they have to trade him something. Whether it be a cookie for an abridged character, memories of a partner, or even trading places with the captive muse is up to the muns themselves.

Wishful Thinking: The island's granting wishes, yay! ...Except for two minor details. The first, what the island takes as a "wish" is seemingly completely arbitrary, beyond needing some intent behind it (so "I wish..." is just as likely to get paid as "What if..." or any other random statement) - plenty of intentional wishes will be ignored, while many less serious ones that still have some desire for the outcome in them will come true.

The second detail? The island can only grant wishes through chains of coincidences that tend to get increasingly improbable and ridiculous the longer the chain goes on (and thus can't grant anything that would be outside the realm of possibility there), and the island will be spawning some stranger things than usual in an attempt to facilitate these coincidences (or in some cases, quote unquote "coincidences"). Want a sandwich? Better be prepared for that dog-walker to trip...then the dog to get loose...then have it steal the sandwich...and for that NPC walking by to spill gravy on you to lure the dog there...

Memory Cloud: Small clouds containing various random memories pop up around muses, and the only way to make them go away is to enter and rexperience the memory...with at least one other person, because the island doesn't let anyone get off that easily. While the memory cannot be tampered with or changed, the muses will be "present" in it in a spectator-like position and it presents a fun chance for terrible commentary for muses that way inclined. On the other hand, it also means muses can refuse to watch/listen if they want (e.g. traumatic memories).

Clouds will pop up randomly, especially if a muse hasn't been affected by many, but if a question is asked of the muse that can be answered by a memory (any memory, including embarrassing and private ones), a cloud containing that memory will turn up.
