Sanctuary Info
Hi, everyone! Sanctuary is slated to run on November 26 and 27. To that end, here's a little bit more information to help you get read for the game.
Sanctuary is a mingle game designed to help characters face that worst villain of all – meaningful interpersonal communication.
During the game, you'll create a top level with whatever you like: an introduction of your character's space, a memory, an opening for conversation, etc., and warn for content as necessary. Others tag in to enter that space and interact with what they find there, though to a limited extent – for example, they can watch or even experience a memory (OOC choice), but cannot change the outcome; they can speak with the owner of that space (top level) but cannot change what the space looks or feels like. Basically you can only godmod your own soul room, sorry.
While in Sanctuary, you may share one or more memories to any set or subset of characters you like. It must be something you have already regained or experienced while in Imeeji, and it can be memories from Imeeji, if you so choose. However, something about the memory should inspire bad, mixed, or bittersweet feelings at best. It is not consciously ICly chosen, but may be something the character has often found weighing on their mind.
Characters are not forced to talk about anything, much less engage in any deep soul searching, but while in Sanctuary they may find it easier to do so, in whatever way works for them personally. (Maybe they just feel really chill! Maybe they have all the booze a Taisho could want! Maybe they don't know why they started talking about Things That Matter but once they start it feels nice so they don't immediately regret it! Do what you have to do to be able to enjoy the game.)
Things to think about to get ready for the game:
-The space around your character will physically change to reflect their mental state. If your character is angry, the floor might literally become lava; if your character is sad, the light may fade away to nothing and leave you in an endless black. None of these effects can physically harm another person, but as far as emotional metaphors go, anything is possible. What will this look like for your character?
-This is a memshare game. If you plan to share any memories, make sure you have them written up or have the threads readily available for sharing.
That's it for now! Let us know if you have questions, and we'll look forwardto seeing you guys on game day!
