FOURTH WALL ANNOUNCEMENT
Yes, it’s that time of year again…time for the semi-annual Fourth Wall Event, which will be taking place beginning Friday the 26th at midnight, lasting until 11:59 PM on Sunday the 28th! The usual rules from previous fourth walls will be carrying over here, and then gist of the event is that STUFF’S GETTING WEIRD AROUND HERE. Nephelis has been imprisoned for ages, and that holiday bonanza wasn’t enough for it to properly stretch its legs! And who doesn’t love a little space-time-universe warping fun now and again? Nephilis sure loves it, so that’s what you’re all getting. Johto and Kanto will both be subject to a lot of unfamiliar new visitors from across multiple different universes as Nephilis brings them to join the celebration, and each will be given a Pokemon! Even better, the normal restrictions on everyone’s bodies or powers will be lifted. Anything goes for the weekend!
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL…
See, normally memories are not only jumbled after the event ends, but any kind of recordings are also wiped out. But this time? Nephilis wants everyone to have an extra reminder of all the fun they've had! At the stroke of midnight, when the usual crack of light and the changeover occurs, everyone will also find themselves holding a basic disposable camera. They can do whatever they like with it: take snapshots of pokemon, friends, toss it out the window, whatever they want! But any photos they take (up to 20) will survive the event. Take it into any Pokemart to have the film developed afterwards, and for an extra 25p, get your pictures rated by the Professor Oak Simulator! You get points! (the points mean nothing, feel free to make them up yourselves). The photos might look a little grainy with that...not so great 90's kodak quality, and somehow even the innocuous ones look a little unsettling? But they'll be a nice (or not so nice) reminder of what happened over the weekend.
A mod-hosted mingle will go up at midnight, which will act as a bit of a catch-all for general fourth wall threads from both new and old characters! However, of course, characters can make network posts as well; these posts are subject to response from even people who aren't members of the comm, so please feel free to hit up whatever, if you're a guest! Have fun!
For reference, here's the basic FAQ:
What's a fourth wall, you ask?
The Fourth Wall event is where people from other games, random characters, even players themselves, just randomly interact with your characters. It's a literal breaking of that invisible "fourth wall" that separates the game-verse from... the rest of the internet.
How do you participate?
In short, a character makes a thread in the comm or in the mod-posted catch-all and others tag it. You could tag other entries if you don't want to make a post. You do not have to use just your character journal to tag; you can use characters from other games, crack accounts, player accounts, and the like, to interact with the character who made the post.!
What kind of characters can participate?
Anything and everything, from AU versions to characters in-game or those from other games, ponies, disembodied heads, zombies, Arceus with a saddle, the players, Hello Kitty, and the list goes on... You can choose whether your character remembers the previous fourth wall or not.
Will my character remember the 4th wall?
Your character will remember some events as an actual event in-game. Just like last time, memories will still be somewhat fractured and mixed up, but they are honest to goodness memories. If you need a number for reference, figure that a character can remember about 80% of what happens during this three-day period.
As well as the three-day time difference. There's still no explanation for that one. The Professors won't even be reachable for a few days; don't even expect them to answer your calls. To make it worse, you may not be where you were last... feel free to remain where you traveled during the incident, or anywhere else...
What about people coming in, can they have a Pokémon too?
Sure thing! You can bring in any Pokémon from any generation and challenge whoever you want for however much you want. Feel free to knock down or burn down anything. Current players are also allowed to have whatever else they want in their party, but your party will return to what you had in-game after the event.
What if I don't want to participate?
The fourth wall is not a required event. However, it does affect the game's setting, so logging would have to be backdated or forward-dated to before or after the fourth wall. Please keep in mind that due to the size of the game, your posts may get lost in the event-related posts. If you choose not to participate, your character may enter a glitch or be asleep during the event.
What if I just arrived and haven't made an in-character introduction post yet?
Feel free to arrive in the middle of the event! Your character will probably just be that much more confused. You may also hold off until after the event if you wish, in order to not become lost in the confusion.
Would my non-human character remain in their form for the event? What about powers?
Up to you! Your character can return to their original form, powers intact, or whatever you like! Have fun.
Can my character catch Pokémon during the event?
Yes, they may. However, they won't be able to keep all of them. Feel free to saddle your character with some odd Pokémon they weren't expecting to have, like that odd Magikarp that happened to swim in their packs. Those not listed on the normal routes may not be kept; but you may have your character keep a Pokémon that is not on their current route of travel.
Does this count for the activity check?
Yes. Yes, it does. :D
As a clarification of the Fourth Wall AC rule — fourth wall threads and posts carried out by characters who are current residents of VR are fair game for AC. Fourth-wallers and AU versions of a character currently in VR (for example, the same character played as from a different canonpoint, etc) do not count towards AC, even when played by the same player.
As usual, please feel free to post any questions for the mods here, or plot in the comments!

Since Trapinch are only found in the one location in Kanto (Cerulean Cave which is currently closed off and locked behind badges), Bert here would not be able to keep it after the 4th wall, correct?

Plus, will it be possible to bring him from a game that is currently ongoing?

Also Walter's taking an egg with him to the Otherworld by accident. Can it hatch out there? Mostly for thematic reasons (and to produce the fattest Litwick in history). No change to it's abilities or moveset, it's just got a constant, very bright flame because it's linked to Silent Hill.

Also, after the event, would she be able to keep one of the Pokemon from her exclusive 'gym team' just nerfed hard down in level? So instead of Ferrothorn at level 100, she would get a Ferroseed at level 25.

Enable me / 4th wall this please.

I already plan on bringing one or two people in for fun
Harley Quinn maybe?but I'm willing to take requests.The downside is unfortunately I work Fri-sun, and my Sunday is particularly exhausting because it's two six hour shifts with a hour and a half break between so...lots of backtagging will happen.
______________
That being said I would LOVE to see some Titans show up. Or really anyone from the DC Universe.

??? appeared!
So you're about to hit a route or other area with wild Pokemon. You're fully healed (or not), and life is just dandy! (or not)
But something's different. There's a chance that, if you had the radio on, it abruptly shuts off, and then even if you didn't have it on, the background music is... different. Odds are you'll still encounter normal Pokemon, and the battle music is the normal one. I would advise not hanging around long.
But if you hear this... if you're not prepared, Arceus help you.
It looks like a jellyfish that looks like a little girl. It's not in the Pokedex. It's level 55. It's very aggressive.
And no known Poke Balls are working on it.
Good luck. Better hope someone around here has a Type:Null...
PLAYER VICTORY: It disappears. The music goes back to whatever it normally is on the route or area.
But who's to say it won't reappear somewhere else, fully healed?
PLAYER DEFEAT: Run for your life. (we'll plot it out on a case by case basis)
no subject
accidently warp near to it because doors are fucked up
...Also I'm laughing because Promptos' Null is only level 31-ish during fourth wall but will go super aggressive towards the Nihelgo.

Chinchill's Plans!
Ash Fox will be wearing Ash Ketchum's clothes and will be chased around by twenty Pikachu, because there's been twenty season of the anime. God help him. He'll also have his powers back and will be using those! Pictures from him will be him showing off (taken with help from Danny) and some nonsense ones taken by the Pikachu Horde.
Enable Me?
Here's my muselist! So if there's anyone you want to see, then please tell me. At the moment it's likely that the LEGO Joker will crop up...

Asher (The Lesser/Hashbrown)'s plans!
I'll also be bringing in Varric Tethras from Dragon Age! He's the one i'm most excited about, as I'm considering apping him into the game (contingent on a few things, of course).
If there's anyone else you'd like to see, let me know! :3c
Cheska's plans!
My muselist is here, but for sure I'll be bringing Ignis Scientia from FFXV around because someone has to make sure Noctis and Prompto are actually eating anything other than meat and junk food!
no subject
Naw but. I'm gonna try and hit him up for sure.

Wolfeh's Plans!
Vanitas is gonna be going back to his Ryslig roots and becoming an ant arachne again. (Bottom right there. :'D) He's not going to have idea any what's going on but he'll end up enjoying himself quite a bit because extra appendages and bone crushing mandibles! Because of this change, though, he's going to end up with a colony of bug Pokemon following him. I haven't decided which yet. (They're basically going to see him as their Queen.)
Cissnei isn't going to be experiencing any strange things. She's mostly going to be WAY too amused by everything everyone else is going through. You can bet that her 20 pictures on her camera are going to be some of the best shots she can get of all the crazy crap going down. She may end up with some really oddball Pokemon but I haven't decided for sure yet.
Other than that, I'm going to be bringing in Aloy from Horzion Zero Dawn with an all steel Pokemon team. :'D She's going to be so displeased with the entire situation. Other than that, if there's anyone else you'd like to see from my muselist, please let me know!
no subject
I'll also be bringing in the Griffin from The Griffin and the Minor Canon, with CRAU from Airlocked! He'll be very confused about not being in beach hell anymore. I dunno what Pokemon to give him yet.
Kaitou's Plans
Other than that, I have a few choices to bring, first and foremost Lillie from the Sun and Moon anime. She's a lot less traumatized than gameverse Lillie and she'll have her Alola Vulpix with her. Sadly, she won't be able to touch any other Pokemon and will be avoiding the tall grass like the plague. Someone come carry the poor girl through it.
Also as planned, Nanamo Ul Namo will be showing up, from the last arc of Heavensward so she's up to date with our WoL in game. She'll probably have a Meowth of some kind as well, and it is sassy.
Also, a miniplot for those involved. Kaitou Daiki my namesake, from Kamen Rider Decade will be showing up and he will be stealing stuff. Treasures, that you deem worth stealing can be mentioned here, and if he gets away with it. He's a dimensional hopper and armed with Kamen Riders. If you want him to get away with stealing your characters stuff (He's done the living being theft before but prefers not to so your Pokemon are safe), please let me know and it'll be returned later at the end of the event.
no subject
And meanwhile, Haurchefant is gonna end up at the Lake of Rage with a Mudbray. Mudhorse to join his Thunderhorse and Firehorse. He'll be holding a small celebration for any WoLs or other Eorzeans who show up, and will insist on a group shot of everybody he meets at the very end. Oh, and his celebration is gonna involve Wind-Up Dragonets, and other Wind-Up Dolls. In fact one of each of them. Yes, even Bahamut and Nidhogg. It's weird, okay.
Buuuuuut... one of those Eorzeans is gonna be Nero tol Scaeva. (But a Lalafell. Due to Weird AU Voidshit, he's a voidlord now, don't worry about it.) And he's gonna have his Magitek. So if you wanna get snarked at or blown the hell up? Just bump into him.
Other characters I might bring include: My own WoLs (Sasaxia Saxia, and Faya Rose), Basch might return, Laguna might return, and Grimsley might poke his way in. Or Emmet. Or Burgh. (Also maybe Larsa. Or if I feel like being really dumb, AU!Noctis who is also N.)
bring haurchefant lots of eorzeans and he will be happy but also sad that this is fleeting
no subject
If you bring Basch can I throw Cloud in with him?

Elaine's Plans
JANE, as Victory Road knows her, is not going to be leaving Homestuck House. At all. Not even if you try to bribe her, she's not getting involved in the mess outside. HOWEVER, there will be a Jane Crocker out and about for you to meet - the one who survived Airlocked Round 1. That's right, she'll be a CRAU! And she's been through a lot of stuff. No spoilers for Round 2, she'll be taken from just before it starts so she won't know who's part of it or what's going on, but if asked she WILL go into detail about living through a murdergame. If you want to play out some confusion between the Jane your muse knows and this Jane, I'm up for that, but if you'd rather not hear anything about the subject of murder, this is me letting you guys know to steer clear - she's not a happy camper.
ASRIEL is not doing anything super significant, he'll just be his goat self, BUT he will want to take pictures with you if you're his friend or someone important to him, so he can have that piece of him here in VR.
THIDA will revert to being an Inkling again and find herself stranded on Route 40 on a rock. Surrounded by Remoraid. She'll be catching one but if you'd like to come help a squid who literally cannot touch water, the help would be appreciated.
ANTHY will have full use of her vague witchery back, so if anyone would like to see nasty NPCs get passive agrressively messed with a la turning into animals, being chased by animals, etc or YOU would like to have your character subtly messed with in some way, please let me know!
no subject
For Anthy, I'm completely game for her messing with Ash a little in a playful sense. He'll actually be delighted that she has magic too, and will show off some of his powers. He doesn't see witches as inherently bad, given he was raised by a fae being, so that oculd be interesting too? Given how she was previously ruled over by stereotypes/roles?

First off, Tony Clark will be busy in using his new (disposable) camera to not only capture his Pokemon journey memories but also to capture any strange 4th wall shenanigans.
As for the character I'm bringing for the Fourth Wall, so far in my muselist, I'm bringing Professor Augustine Sycamore from the Pokemon anime! But there is a twist. He is a CRAU from Recolle, which is a memory-loss AU game in case you don't know.
In other words, he's just a college professor who has no Pokemon XY/XYZ anime memories and doesn't know what Pokemon is. On the bright side, he's bringing his Garchomp with him, who doesn't know that is a Pokemon at all.
So far, I only got two characters in my muselist so far, but give me a holler on any plot ideas with these characters!
no subject
Historia is fairly new to PokeWorld and doesn't really have any special abilities or anything noteworthy to speak of that can be regained with the return of powers and shit, so she'll just be hanging with the titancast the whole weekend. Which... will be interesting because this will really be her first time getting up close with Eren's titan, damn.
Elsa I.... am not sure what to do with! She's been around for a few 4th walls so she won't be making a show of her magic like she normally does, but for this year since so many people are talking about CRAUs, I'm thinking maybe taking her from when I had her in Ryslig a while back? She was a very pretty nymph and had some fun flowery abilities so that would be a fun little shakeup.
My only hangup with that is that it's been over a year since I played her there and I doooon't really really remember everything about her CR, WHOOPS. Not that it matters here, but if anyone else shows up....
Athena is not superpowered in any way so she won't be getting anything back. I also don't have plans for her aside from staying with her group so??? Come at her???
Aaand finally I have this muselist, and I'm waffling on if I should bring in any of the active characters? Y'all got suggestions?
no subject
Fishbone's plans!
Instead, Eren will be getting his Titan powers back! ... all at once. With no control. Thankfully he will be completely in control of himself and feeling not at ALL homicidal and cannibalistic. Awesome! But he will be stuck as a 15 meter naked giant for the majority of the weekend, unable to speak or go into buildings or wear clothes... Save him. FREE HIM.
(you can't free him, titan skin is 2stronk)

I don't have much of a muselist to offer, most of these characters are very old and inactive, but I will probably bringing in Route Kyo for a spin at least.
That aside, I have more FMA AUs than should ever exist because of game activity and being in the DR which breeds AUs like bunnies. It's mostly Ed, with the occasional Riza and Sloth. I have a single Winry and some homunulus OCs based on canon characters. It's pretty much an unholy nightmare, but I like putting characters into settings that are new and have collected quite a bit of them. I can also add icons where needed if someone does want a character from this list.
I will probably be bringing in Route Ed, if no one else - but if any FMA characters want something to WTF over, I definitely have an Ed for that and I can probably point you to the most WTF muse to interact with (like the one that is actually Envy's brother.)
After 4th wall we can all just pretend this list doesn't exist. Okay? Okay.
Drizz's plans
Rakka Is going to be getting her normal appearance back, with small wings sticking out of her back and a halo, aaand while she'll be spending the whole weekend in the Homestuck house, she's going to be posting about possible travel plans for the sake of getting badges.
But there is going to be a Rakka about... that is, the Rakka from Round one of TRUSTFELL! she's a bit different then the rakka people know, a bit younger, a bit more... scarred. Feel free to be confused.
Other characters that'll probably be making an appearance will be Pyrrha Nikos and possibly others.
