The Cities

Traveler's Guide to Eternisa: Extended Version

Word Count: ~1500

Administrator's Note: Each city is separated into its own category for your convenience. There are some role-player friendly tips within each one, regarding the environment within each city and about special NPC characters that you may hope to encounter.

The guide is written in the sense that you are the character that you're playing to give it a more... life-like feel?.

The Place of White

( Choosing wisely is highly advised. )

City Three

( Nothing wrong with this place, at all. )

City Two

( The City of Techies~ )

City One

( The City of Lolis~ )

ABOUT THE DEVICE!!!

About the Devices!!!

These are what could be “communication” devices. It is going to be how each character keeps up with the others. They basically work EXACTLY like a dream width journal. There are no communities or forums, only personal "journals" for each character to update and use as means of 'keeping up with one another'.


EXAMPLE VOICE ENTRY BY ZELOS:

“[ACTIVATING VOICE POST_]

Man... I can't believe she... caught me off guard, like that... [sound of coughing]

Dammit, if anybody out there can hear me... let... me know. [sound of something being dropped, then what sounds like a person collapsing]

[EMERGENCY LOCATION DISPLAY UPLOAD_]

[PLEASE CLICK THE FOLLOWING DOWNLOAD BUTTON BELOW_]

[END OF VOICE POST]”

EXAMPLE VOICE RESPONSE BY LLOYD:

“[UPLOADING LOCATION_]

[..._]

[AUTOMATIC VOICE RESPONSE INITIATED_]

...Zelos....?

Are... you ok?! [ten seconds pass]

Hang on, I'm coming! I'll be right there!

[END OF VOICE RESPONSE]


EXAMPLE TYPED ENTRY BY ZELOS:

Wow, so this thing does more than just talk my freakin' ear off...

Yo, Sasuke! If you can see this, let me know where you ended up. I found myself in a horrible place... Seriously, the people here are terrible with guests.

And... Lloyd, Sheena, Raine... Well... all of you, I guess...? If you're out there, let me know.

(Heh... I guess that's all I really have to say... Other than this place is absolutely terrible and I really wish I was back home... Seriously, if any of you are here, we've gotta figure out a way to get back. And quickly.)

[screen hackable to those with skillz]
If none of you are here, though, I think I might be screwed...I don't know how much more of this ~lovely~ city I can take. They treat me like I'm walking misfortune... It's the total opposite of back home. Heh, I guess this is punishment. That old woman kept talking about “karma”. All I can think is... how ironic.

Jeez, I never thought it'd be possible to genuinely miss you losers! I really hope I'm wrong in feeling like I'm the only one here... Seriously, Lloyd, you're supposed to be the hero of our group... Where the hell are you?
[/end screen]

... Guess I should be getting back to work, now... The boss might throw me back out on the streets, if he catches me on this stupid thing instead of doing my job...


EXAMPLE TYPED ENTRY BY SQUALL:

Which city did you end up in? Oh, you're that guy he must have been talking about...Hn. I can see what he means.

Sasuke and I ended up in a place with strange people, as well. They all seemed over... happy like something is terribly wrong with them, maybe.



All entries are to be directly posted into each character's journal. These posts can range from silly-accidental-drunk posts... to a “I HATE YOU SO MUCH GO AWAY” post...

… to one such as the example above. This can also be a good way for friends to find one another and meet up in the same city!

ABOUT CITY TRANSFERS!!!

CITY TRANSFER

The king very much wishes to keep everyone trapped within their designated city. The walls are over fifty feet high, between each city. YOU, however, are special. After all, you are not an actual citizen!

You will notice that the device has an option called “CITY TRANSFER”. By clicking on it, you will see two numbers (i.e. 2 or 3, 3 or 1, 1 or 2)! Naturally, the number of the city you are currently in is unlisted.

Unfortunately, you are not that special. If you opt to move from one city, to another, you will undoubtedly notice a bright red screen pop up on the device. You will be able to both read and hear the following words:

WARNING: TRANSFERENCE TO CITY [insert number choice here] MAY CAUSE UNKNOWN SIDE EFFECTS.

DO YOU STILL WISH TO CONTINUE? INPUT ANSWER BELOW.

Y/N_

If you pick no (i.e. “N”), the entire thing is then canceled and you are going to remain in your current city. “Y”, however, results in a strange “sucking” sensation of your head, followed by your midsection...then the rest of your body. Afterward, you are in your city of choice, dealing with whatever craziness befell you during your transfer.

DURING THE FIRST CITY TRANSFER, YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET THREE OR MORE SIDE EFFECTS... After which, you will only get one or more during each transfer. Choose wisely.

***There is a way to avoid the side effects, but it is only by speaking to VAL in City One that you may discover the way. Good luck in this endeavor, though, because (as stated above, in City One's description) he is not exactly the friendly type.

There is a hint posted in the description of City One...***


THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE AS LISTED BELOW:

NAUSEA
VOMITTING
DIARRHEA
DIZZINESS
DROWSINESS
CLOUDY OR OTHERWISE ALTERED VISION
INSOMNIA
MIGRAINES
UNCONTROLLABLE HUNGER/THIRST
COLD SWEATS/HOT FLASHES
ALTERED/LOST MEMORIES
LOSS OF LOGICAL/CONSCIENCIOUS THOUGHT
FALSE SENSE OF STRENGTH
BELIEF OF IMMORTALITY
UNCONTROLLABLE SEXUAL THOUGHTS OR DESIRES

If you have any ideas for side effects, feel free to run it by the mods! We are always up for new ideas!
