Fourth wall mingle post

[wrnpcs]

[For the regular denizens of Balamb Garden, it's an ordinary day...until more off-worlders start showing up, for only a few hours at a time. Unsure what to make of these more temporary visitors, the Garden faculty is holding off on registering them as cadets or offering them jobs.

[Maybe someone you know might turn up?]

Mod note, to reiterate:

4th wall characters can only be seen at certain hours of the day. They may appear for two hours a day, or four... or seen only in the early morning... the time doesn't matter to us, but they're not permanently here. They may return to Garden again through the rest of the month, but they're not around 24/7.

Like apped characters, 4th wall characters can't be ridiculously-sized. Transformers, Gundams, and similar concepts/characters will become human-sized (and in the case of mechas, not allowed altogether.)

Players (like you and me) are not allowed to visit Garden. We're breaking the 4th wall, not destroying it altogether!

Apart from this post, 4th wall characters are free to reply to open posts in witchesreign or open logs in concoursec. Apped players have the option of closing their posts to in-game characters only.

All BBS posts are locked to in-game characters only. 4th wall characters do not have access to any sort of logged in posts unless they hijack someone else's log-in---and in those cases, we need to know this beforehand.

For those unfamiliar with the setting, here is more info on Balamb Garden's facilities and layout. Additionally, some of the NPCs around and some player characters may be wearing Balamb Garden's cadet or SeeD uniform.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on the OOC post or through the mod channels (wrmods or witchesreign).

I'm starting to suspect that it's something wired into the basic blueprints of our DNA. [she gives him a humorless smile]

[theaerothing]

I'd like to keep the vain hope that in some universe, somewhere, there's a John and Rose and everyone else on my team and yours that are living happy, non-world shattering lives.

So what's this place all about, anyway.

[thorny]

Oh, I'd certainly hope not. I don't think that I could contain the all-encompassing jealousy if that were true. [she chuckles a little]

The Garden? It's a military academy which produces mercenaries for this world. Some rather unsavory individuals have been sticking their hands into the fabric of time and space, which is the reason we've all been unceremoniously drawn here.

[theaerothing]

Military Academy? [Frowns. That doesn't give him the best of feelings but...]

Does Shinra mean anything to you or maybe this world? Or Her Imperious?

[thorny]

Neither strikes a bell with me personally, although I can't say that the same will apply to every person present on campus. It's a fairly large facility, after all.

[theaerothing]

No, if it was relevant here, everyone would know. [That does make him look more relaxed though.]

But that's definitely a good thing. How are the politics? [These are important questions. He's already inciting one rebellion back home, he doesn't need another one okay.]

[thorny]

Relatively stable, although there are very few people outside of the Garden who take kindly to us 'off-worlders' wandering about here. [she frowns a little]

I get the feeling that they seem to think we ought to be able to send ourselves back home and are hanging around on purpose.

[theaerothing]

That's not very nice. But ...that's not all that bad either, considering. Sounds like a relatively quiet place. [What is he going to do with himself here.]

[thorny]

Mind-numbingly so. [yeeeah there's definitely distaste there] I'm starting to wonder if this entire exercise was designed to make us long for the perils and mandated destruction of our original universes or if that's simply an unintended consequence.
