Well, I'm back from a fine Christmas gathering, coming two days after a splendid wedding. Now is the time warp of a week between Christmas and New Year's Day, and it's weirder for me than usual because, due to my sister and her boyfriend being delayed in flying in from California, we're celebrating the bulk of Christmas a day late this year.
What better MUCK event for a time like this than to play with time, condensing years and years into three weeks surrounding the new year, like time seems to speed up madly as the waves of the old year crash up against the midnight wall of the new? hee <3 new year's eve
With the votes in and the logistics considered (see the poll in the Tiny Plots board), we're going to have three weeks of Taka as the Rightfully Chosen Heir to the Pridelands. It's a big, sublime What If. How would thing shave gone differently in the world of The Lion King if Scar had been chosen to succeed Ahadi as king? The answer is open-ended--anything can happen. Scar could turn out to be the good guy and Mufasa the bad guy. The tyranny of his hyena-heavy rule may come early, but with Mufasa still around, will it last? Will Mufasa leave in sorrow? Will they rule as brothers? Will the other prides deal with a legitimate King Scar? What role will Simba, Nala and the others yet to be born play in it all?
Here's the schedule...
December 26th (that's NOW!) to midnight of January 1st--Taka and Mufasa are mid-adolescents. Ahadi and Uru are still alive, but it's been some time since Taka was chosen as the heir. Perhaps he's laying plans. Perhaps Mufasa is trying to get his father to reconsider.
January 2nd to midnight of January 8th--Taka and Mufasa are in their adult prime. One way or another, Taka now rules Pride Rock. Whether this is a rule to be respected or feared remains to be seen...
January 9th to midnight of January 15th--Taka and Mufasa are elders. Is the Rock still Taka's? If so, is someone trying to wrest control from him? Who now rules the other prides? What's happened to Simba? Is the world anything like the Lion King we know?
During all of this, anyone who wants to participate in the timeshift should set themselves TP. You don't need to live around Pride Rock--you can play out the future anywhere. And I hope we do see future TPs going on all over the MUCK. Remember--this is not the future that must be, only one possibility. Not everyone has to participate. You should age your characters to match the timescale given above--if you like, you can ask a wizard to change your age, but just showing it in poses it is fine. Each time period will end at midnight EST sharp.
Wow, this could easily be awesomely fun. Make this awesome, please. kthx bye!
