PREPARE YOURSELF [AUGUST PLOT]

Business continues as usual. All strange happenings set forth in the July plot post still apply, and can continue to the end of the event. HOWEVER…

◎ For the first two weeks of August, the aforementioned strange happenings will increase in degree and frequency.
◎ The occasional rifts in the sky now coalesce into a larger, more permanent fissure.
◎ The shadow bugs are more aggressive than ever, cloning whatever they can. Characters overwhelmed and cloned by shadow bugs are left unconscious while the doppleganger runs around wreaking havoc. Mods will not play these dopplegangers--they will be player responsibility, should you choose this route. The originals will wake up after a few hours, but that doesn't mean the duplicate will vanish. They will need to be defeated (or not).
◎ As stated in the dorm log, the subspace bubbles have begun to become actual portals, providing passages between different parts of the school and the city. Occasionally, these portals lead to places not of this world at all. It is advised to exercise extreme caution when entering those portals, as you might find yourself running a gauntlet of subspace enemies and booby traps before finding a portal to take you back home. Getting lost finding your way around the areas is a distinct possibility. At this point, characters can encounter any enemies listed here, including Galleom and Duon.


Again, all of these effects are optional--characters can get lucky and remain completely unaffected if this is not your bag.

On AUGUST 15th, a subspace bomb will (accidentally) go off on the outskirts of the school, consuming a large chunk of the forest. Here is what happens when a subspace bomb goes off.

◎ The resulting explosion opens a fissure that extends from the rift in the sky straight down to the depths of the bunkers (where there has probably been a rift all along), creating a permanent (for now) purple tear in the fabric of reality that…
◎ Allows for shadowy monsters to enter the city proper. The city is not overrun all at once, but it's clear that if something isn't done soon, the rift will get larger and the dimensional barrier will continue to break down until it's past the point of no return.
◎ Master Hand will, of course, make an attempt to rally the students, so that might be a good time to finally confront him--or, perhaps even…Tabuu?**
◎ The school will act as a stronghold throughout the attack, in the event that you don't want your character to fight or encounter monsters! They're concentrating their efforts on the surrounding area, almost as if they're reluctant to attack the school itself...


Four days later, on AUGUST 19th, something else will emerge from the gaping subspace hole in the sky.

title or description


◎ The island, which is easily accessible by pretty much anything or anyone that can fly, floats almost directly over the school. It's (of course) crawling with subspace monsters, but there are ruins to explore. The island even has a bunker system of its own, which can be reached through tunnel entrances on the surface.
◎ More details will be revealed mid-August, once the island appears. Keep an eye out for help from unexpected places.


The end goal of the event is, of course, to close the rift, and maybe solve the mystery of this crazy school, while you're at it. How this is accomplished is, of course, up to all of you. There will be a follow up post at the end of August with plot-wrap up and aftermath--though what kind of aftermath depends entirely on what your characters choose to do!

As always, players are encouraged to ask mods about what might occur should their characters take certain courses of action. The sky is the limit, but there might be consequences! Feel free to ask any questions here, or contact us privately.

* Once again, if you are interested in AUing your dude into the Smash Bros/Brawl universe, contact a mod. We might have a little something-something for you.
**Mods are more than happy to NPC for your purposes! Just drop us a line if you want him.

Confronting Master Hand, huh? This is what Cyrus has been looking forward to for a LONG time.

HI! So in a thread with Joel, Gordon has postulated that an EMP might disable the larger groups of shadow bugs and prevent them from combining to form larger creatures. This could benefit those without fancy suits and electronic weaponry. Is this a possibility?

What would happen if a character chose to enter the dimensional rift?
