And that's that. With Kevin's final post, characters will find that all doors now lead to home. The network has been shut down. Characters that may otherwise stay are basically boned, too; a monster infestation will begin within the week, and any characters who try to remain will either be forced out or eaten alive. Fun, right? If any character does comment to Kevin's post, he will inform them of this as well.

afterdiscedo is also now open for any and all players of Discedo to join. You're welcome to use it to your own bidding, and feel free to spread the word! Keep in mind that this community is (almost) COMPLETELY unmoderated. Nika will act as head of the community, so if problems DO show up, you can contact her for any problems.

We've all had a lot of fun moderating this game, and we hope you guys enjoyed your time here as well. With this post Discedo is officially closed. We will be closing up the comms once this post goes up, and adding last notes of closure, but you should still be able to comment around on the mingle log if it suits you.

Finally, if you want to use this post as a final OOC mingle place, leaving any contact stuff you want here and notes or whatever, go for it. We hope everyone has a very happy 2013, and best wishes for the rest!!

Hey folks!! Hope the pitfalls are going well for you all. In light of the holiday season we have TWO fantastic events for you guys!!

( It's something of a tradition here )

First I'd like to wish all you fellow East-coasters all the best in the upcoming storm. Stay safe everyone! Now onto the fun stuff.

Certainly, being in Discedo is bound to put some people on edge, especially at a time of year that is associated with hauntings and horror. Some characters will probably get a little anxious as the 31st approaches. Imagine their relief when the only things to pop up on Halloween are the standard porch decorations, jack-o'-lanterns, and bowls of candy corn. So much candy corn. Why, this might be a good day after all! You should throw on some warm clothes and--

Oh, what's that? Your whole closet has been replaced with Halloween costumes? Whoops. The costumes themselves range are standard things you'd find at a Halloween shop. Some of them silly, some you question why they exist, and some seem normal but turn out to be downright horrifying.


Look into our eyes and know Hell.

This costuming madness will last from October 31 to Nov 7 (so one week), at which point wardrobes will be restored to normal and the decorations will disappear. All things considered though, it's not such a bad way to spend the holiday. It might even be a relief to have life be akin to normal. Be thankful that nothing terrible is happening.

Not yet, anyway.

Because of that bitch Sandy (and the uncertainties of who will be without power/how long), the following event will take place Nov 5 to Nov 11. Yes, the two events will overlap, but only by a small margin. After your characters have had a chance to relax and enjoy themselves, they will unsurprisingly be thrown into a veritable chamber of terror. What else were you expecting?

A leaked conversation from a certain someone (settlethescore) will kick off the start of the event. But listen closely and characters can pick out a hopeful message in their words:

There is a way home. And characters may be able to seize the opportunity to get there.

But as we all know, sometimes things are too good to be true. That thought might not cross a character's mind at first though--they can finally get out and go home!--so they leap up to leave their apartment/building/residence to start looking for the way out

and come face-to-face with their worst nightmare.

Here's the deal: every door has the potential to be a portal. Not every door is a portal and not every door will affect everyone the same way. Where one person may wander through as though it was a perfectly normal entryway, another may find themselves in psychological Hell. There really is no telling. Unfortunately for characters, there are only three options.

A Normal Door. This is, sadly, the best outcome of the three. You walk through a doorway out to Marshall Street and you find yourself precisely on Marshall Street. Nothing new, nothing out of the ordinary, just same old Discedo. Then you turn around to head back inside. Perhaps you find yourself back in the building. Or perhaps you find yourself in…

Your Worst Nightmare. Weeping Angels? The mangled corpses of your loved ones with their mouths open to scream even from beyond the grave? Whatever it is, it's here. The door shuts tightly behind you and you aren't allowed out until you have been mentally fucked sideways. No matter how hard you try to rationalize it as a hallucination or simply try to escape, it's like there's something dark pressing at your mind, dragging you further and further downward. It isn't until you've snapped that the door will swing open.

In this instance, there will be psychological consequences. Insanity of varying types and degrees, murderous intent, severe depression, or utterly shutting down and slipping into a comatose state will afflict a character to the end of the event--and possibly beyond. Even after the event itself has lifted, characters may be slow to come out of their depression or fury. Maybe it's a residual effect that clings to their mind. Maybe they are having trouble picking up the pieces of their shattered psyche. Who knows. But there is a third option.

Home. Yes, it's home. Genuinely, truly, and real, characters will find themselves back on their own worlds. They can also find themselves in another characters' world! Anyone for adventuring around the Land of Ooo? Maybe solve some puzzles in London?

Ah, but of course, the bliss doesn't last. It doesn't last long at all. Characters will only get about five, ten minutes tops to enjoy their surroundings before they die. They just die. Feel free to use your imagination on this one--spontaneous explosion, hit by a car, whatever--but your characters have bit the big one. There is good news and bad news. They are both one in the same.

They will be dragged back into Discedo very much alive, but there will be something severely off. The world is dark or silent or they themselves will be rendered silent. Instantly they have lost their eyesight, hearing, or ability to speak, and none of these will be regained until later with the help of a scientist. That isn't the worst part though. Their missing sense will be accompanied by a strange feeling in their chest. It's actually kind of comforting. It's strong. It quickly grows and blossoms into something passionate, and almost feverish faith to the point of sheer delusion.

All directed at the Scientists.

Despite their condition, characters (regardless of their previous feelings of the Scientists) will fall under a borderline religious awe of them. They'll view them as veritable gods to be admired and feared. Sing their praises, write some scripture, and if you're feeling particularly bold, feel free to attack the heretics who dare to speak ill of such high beings. Though their missing sight, hearing, or speech will stay with them, this particular delusion will fade quickly at the end of the event.

Characters will not be missing these senses permanently; more details on when they will be restored will be posted at the end of the event. For now your job is to all be well and weather out the storm!

Alright Discedo, we've got a double whammy of plot stuff for you! So we don't clog up the ooc comm with a million things, have a giant post.

( christian bale is at your party, he's alone, eating all your queso dip, talking on your phone, uninvited he just sort of walks into your home... WHAT DO DON'T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND? )

I hope the suspense didn't kill you. We have other plans for that!!

OKAY SO UNSURPRISINGLY..... YES MY FRIENDS we are going on another Exploration. Ho ho! But where to? Your destination this time around will be Lachsistein, and just as before, only trouble awaits. For now we're only going to be having sign-ups here (this is actually a HUGE sign up post) and later we’ll post all the details for the upcoming exploration event. So, if you're in for the exploration, head down to the comments and throw your sign up in! You have until July 16 to sign up, and characters will be gone for the duration of this part of the event!

So we’ll save that for later. For now, it's time to explain our Discedo plot! and boy you guys are just going to be AT each other’s THROATS for this one!!! ( Let’s add an LJ-cut to save some spammage. )

To give everyone a little back story: once upon a time there was a great flood that wiped out all the gross nasty stuff that was all over Discedo. Because it got rid of the gross nasty stuff, things began to grow! It became a world of horror and wonder, because omg some of these plants are TERRIFYING; and some are cute. You're all secretly in love with our rainbow tree, shhhh.

A few other things have been cropping up too, like new monsters..!! But just a few...( Of the leafy variety )

( And now to our next event! )

The first log has been going pretty well, and in case anyone hasn't checked back on it since it opened up, might wanna run on over and get the new days you missed.

The only question that's been brought up to me so far is about non-skin stealer deaths. YES!! If you're killed in Raid I or II, your character is welcome to come back the next day, as he normally would in any other death scenario.




The new log goes up on April 20th. So travelers, you've made it this far. You've been through hell and damned if you're going to let it all count for nothing.


( Crawling in my skin )

Hey guys! So pupdate! Sign ups for the exploration plot are open until April 13th, meaning after that, if you haven't signed up, you're out of luck. For those of you who've placed UNDECIDED as your volunteering for the "special" death, you've until then to decide, in which case if you haven't given a definite answer, it will default to 'no'.

ALSO because of the delay (which i apologize for), you'll have until about Friday Evening to definitely put 'yes/no' on the special death option.

So let's get down to business: ( Rubber baby buggy bumpers )

Hello everyone! Important announcement to make. All of you, I'm sure, have seen our most wonderful Discedo profile and banner, craftily made as it is. However, with the game constantly evolving, we thought it would be a good time for a little changing up. As such, we've designed a new banner, and were hoping for player opinions. I've put it all behind a cut so your flists aren't totally swamped. Just comment and let us know!

( Picture behind cut )

Staring Feb 26th characters may begin to notice something strange about themselves- or should I say their abilities.

Suddenly powers and abilities begin acting out much like a chip removal event. What is more mind boggling is even characters without a history of powers may find they can suddenly walk through walls, fly, lift cars, freeze coffee, read minds, ect.

Maybe your character's powers aren't going crazy. Or maybe it's that they're suddenly not working at all. On the other hand, maybe another character has somehow duplicated your character's powers.

Don't feel so special anymore, do you?

For this event...
You can:
▪ Have canon powers go out of control.
▪ Swap powers with someone.
▪ Develop new powers all together.

Limitations:
▪Any "instant death" or super destructive powers (Ex. Able to flatten an entire city) will need approval by a mod first.

Please have moderation when selecting new powers for your characters. Don't suddenly overload them with a dozen new abilities/powers.

Last but not least, all characters can participate, regardless if their chip has been taken out or not.

So, have fun!

Event will last until March 3rd.
