Upcoming Event: Curses!

[applesaucemod]

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Whenever You're Reading This/Time Is An Illusion!

When your characters wake up on the morning of August 27th, 2013 (March 19th for those playing along at home), they will immediately notice something wrong. Or maybe they won't. Maybe something weird will happen when they bite into their breakfast, or attempt to speak, or wander into the woods park. But weird things are going to happen to rifties all over Manhattan, and the theme is going to be distinctly fairy tale. Everybody is going to find themselves cursed, Grimm-style.

Here are some ideas that we've brainstormed/researched, though you don't have to choose from the list if you have other mischief in mind. Also, feel free to use 'enchanted slumber' as an opt-out if you want to keep one or more of your characters out of the action.


- Lose your voice
- Can't speak without small animals, jewels, or other assorted objects falling from your mouth
- Can't stop dancing
- Hand stuck to a goose
- Small animal/object tells others your most shameful secrets or innermost thoughts
- Giant toad sits on face, demands to be fed or it will eat your face
- Turned into some kind of animal
- Turned into stone, a tree, or some other kind of inanimate object
- Forget your true love
- Entangled in brambles
- Lost in a forest
- Your tears turn into something else (diamonds, etc)
- Everything you touch turns to gold or some other thing/material
- You always tell the truth
- You aways lie
- Aged way up
- Aged way down
- Everything you eat tastes like one thing
- You become obsessed with eating just one thing
- Feels as if you're walking on broken glass all the time
- Sized up
- Sized down
- Trapped in a mirror/only visible in reflections
- Everything you say comes true
- Everything you draw comes to life
- Your body literally falls apart, but in a non-fatal kind of way (limbs can be reattached)
- FREE SPACE seriously just make something up

Can your character break whatever curse has been laid upon them? Maybe! It's really up to you. If they can't figure it out, at least they'll only have to deal with it until sunset. Which, on that particular date, should hit at 7:37 PM. At that point, any bizarre afflictions your character has been dealing with will vanish.

Feel free to use this post to brainstorm, or to ask any questions you might have.

Carrie OUT. *drops mic*

Ahaha so we've decided that since Tim's whole shtick is that HE IS A LIAR (no really just look at his username) he's also gonna be truth-whammied. Which means anyone who asks about his super shady past is going to get at least some solid takeaways from it.

Won't that be fun.

Jay is going to be really fucking mad at him but also dependent on him for survival while tiny
