More DundunDUNNNN PLOT!

The hallucinations that started off as just a fleeting image out of the corner of your eye, have started to become more.

You spot them and have no doubts of what you see, and they last longer than before, or are they really? An hour might be really be several days or several days might only be an hour.

Then will come a point when those they've been seeing finally stop when they're called to and they'll turn to face you. You can reach out and touch them. They are solid. And when you ask how they're here-

They'll respond.

They don't just vanish. They're there before you now, and you don't feel as crazy now when you look to the person next to you and realize they're seeing it too, sharing in your vision.

To those who aren't pulled into your hallucination, however, those in the hallucinations can't seem to be stirred from them, indeed it seems they are trapped. They are totally engrossed in whatever it is they are seeing, and seem to ignore the real world around them.

To those in the hallucination, you become unaware of anything but those also in it. You're far too enraptured in what you're experiencing to wonder why anyone not pulled into the hallucination has disappeared.

As for the city? Slowly the deterioration continues... Except, is it your eyes just playing tricks on you? Or did you just see some white blotches on that building? And, for anyone who leaves the domes, you'll notice it seems the effects inside the city are happening outside too, as the grass looks rather wilted...

--

It's been two weeks, so we hope everyone is doing okay! This kind of speed is kinda new for us, but we can do this, right?!

I think everything was pretty well outlined above, but if you have any questions please ask.

And, yes, we're leaving time for how long they last pretty open ended depending how "up-to-date" you feel you are with current events. If you feel like you have time to kill a few days or not. So the idea being you could be trapped in a hallucination for only a few minutes and hours could have passed, or for weeks but really only a day has passed. It's up to you and just what it is your character is hallucinating.

Have fun, and expect a plot announcement around the end of the month.

Okay, so just to verify that I understand:

1. Hallucinations are now long-lasting and can be interacted with.
2. Other people can't see or interact with the hallucinations, only the affected character.
3. Affected characters become so engrossed in their hallucinations that they lose touch with the real people around them.

Have I got it right? ^^;

Are those outside the city still subject to these hallucinations? If not, does a character that goes outside the city while still suffering from a hallucination simply find themselves free of it?

If someone in a hallucination gets knocked out (presumably by someone outside of the hallucination) would the hallucination continue when they resumed consciousness?

So, not even being attacked would knock them out of the hallucination? *should proooobably skip any long-lasting hallucinations for Larxene; wants her character alive XD*

...It didn't even occur to me that I could reverse that and have Larxene running around looking for hallucinating people until you mentioned it.

THANK YOU. XD

I'm evil to my muse...

...if someone close is pulled into the hallucination, can they effect it at all? Say if someone was pulled in and 'attacked' whoever was there...could that happen at all?
