Timeline

This is a timeline of all character events.
==2006==
September
[ September 15th ] Another Way to be Born: lab coats and goggles, a chemical burns and sizzles; step into the world of God. All characters within the mansion will change change change, their minds reeling, their bodies twisting. With your genes working against you, how long will you last?
Translation: The characters will lose or gain a hindering physical (NOT emotional, though obviously, there will be emotional side effects) ability, for example, going colorblind, gaining a nervous habit, to losing your sense of caution.
Character: Heine
World: DOGS
+ all characters from the world of DOGS will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Heine, however.
[ September 19th ] Sharing the World: Empathy, apathy, sympathy. Feel us, feel you, feel me. Let's hold hands and leave no one out. Everyone on equal grounds, everyone with equal experience. When we cry, so will you; when we scream, so will you; when we suffer, you will too.
Translation: The people within the mansion are connected through a physic link. People can hear each other's thoughts, communicate with their minds, and nothing is kept secret. Accordingly, if someone gets hurt, everyone will feel the same pain. Keep your ears open for any rogue thoughts you might pick up from the Rabbit or the Hatter!
Because of the nature of this event, no filters will work for the duration of the day.
Character: Jr.
World: Xenosaga
+ all characters from the world of Xenosaga will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Jr., however.
October
[ October 10 ] Don't Cry My Child: skeletons in a closet and forces beyond your control; tears and pain are never. But you know the truth. Are you willing to lose yourself or move forward?
Translation: All the characters within the mansion are forced to re-live their most painful experience they've ever had, whether it be a physical or emotional experience.
Character Name: Tifa Lockheart
World: Final Fantasy VII
+ all characters from the world of FFVII will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Tifa, however.
[ October 15th ] When the Beast Wakes: give us your touch, sell us your sympathy, rob us of our melancholy. What are the requisites of life, I wonder, wonder, imagine? Rumble rumble crackle & pop; what will you do, we giggle laugh & sneer, what will you do, what can you do, when we're at good morning?
Translation: Can you say p~l~o~t~? Was there one? Why, yes there was! Here, when your character touches the WALLS, FLOOR & CEILING of the mansion (outside or inside), they will temporarily feel like they're back at home (back in their home world). As long as they're connected to the walls, they'll be able to see & smell their worlds. But they won't hear or feel anything or anyone from it. They'll look like they're sleep-walking.
Now, here's the highlight: when they pull away, the shock is so great that what they'll see is their world crashing.
Character: the Rabbit & the Hatter & the Mansion
World: Wonderland
+ no characters will be affected directly by the worlds' crashing 'cause there are none ACTUALLY crashing this event.
[ October 16th ] Listen to Us: splinter, crack, CRASH. Tumble tumble rumble & stop. Can you feel your mind dividing into slivers? Can you feel your mind escaping you? Weakened & confused, being homesick might hurt & hurt & hurt lots more. Dream & Break. Dream bigger & Break louder.
Translation: Following up with the event on the 15th, the characters will feel a splitting migraine all the way through. It won't be enough to make anyone (but Mara) pass out, and they'll be hearing some voices~ Different from Jr.'s event, however, as those voices aren't yours. They're somebody else's. Anyone remember the screaming during the fire? ♥
Character: Mara Jade-Skywalker
World: Star Wars
+ all characters from the world of Star Wars will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Mara, however.
[ October 17th ] A Melody for You & Me: Shh, shh, shh. Sleep, don't open your eyes. Up in the tree, our babies nap & see black. Innocence, innocence, ignorance. Can you tell the difference between the darkness & the loneliness?
Translation: The migraine on the 16th seems to have had a side-effect~ Everyone is blind in one eye/both eyes for the day. Since, however, this is an artificial blindness, it seems the characters can EITHER see darkness or loneliness. Completely up to you on what loneliness looks like. But everyone in the mansion CAN NOT see the world as they're supposed to.
Character: Rabi
World: D.Gray-Man
+ all characters from the world of D.Gray-Man will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Rabi, however.
November
[ November 30th ] Tick Tock, the Pendulum Swings: Black and white, the pictures fade in & out. One & two, three & four, are you still breathing? Hey, hey, hey, who might you be? Hello, greetings, nice to meet you, good bye. Interlock your fingers with mine, tumble through the fields of your insanity -- let us, you & I discover which one likes to serve tea and biscuits.'

Include everyone but yourself within your dreams & fears & hopes & laughter-- let us see you break, let us see you fall. Let us see the side of that is not you, because you you AND you are who you are because of what you are not. How will you know which one of you is real~?
Translation: For a day, a character is strongly compelled [as in, the urge cannot be fought] to lie and act differently than they usually do. AKA, act two-faced.
Character: Zelos Wilder
World: Tales of Symphonia
+ all characters from the world of Tales of Symphonia will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Zelos, however.
[ December 8th ] My Invisible Hand: Touch is my gift to you, my scent your drug. I want to be close to you, make my breath your heart. Reach, reach, reach for me, and yet you're far away. Right past my side. Remember, remember, that I used to be here. Do not dream of me -- prove to yourself that I'm real.
Translation: Residents of the mansion, one way or another, are kept away from their friends. All day, they can wander aimlessly, but can't come in contact with the people they know.
Character: Sora

+ all characters from the world of XXXHolic will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Yuuko, however.
[ January 25th ] Crashes and booms and explosions! Oh my! But maybe the future is a ways away. The past is where we learn Our mistakes or repeat them for ignoring history.
Translations: Inside of the mansion, every now and then it seems that a battle is raging on outside, despite looking out the window everything is fine. Also, outside hallways sometimes sound like stomping feet of troops as rushing through to get to their destination.
Character: Captain Malcom Reynolds
World: Firefly
+ all characters from the world Firefly will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Malcom, however.
[ January 29th ] Detach yourself. Become one of the masses. Because if you repeat the mistakes of the past, then you become a sinner; someone who doesn't care about the futures of Others who wish to live.
Translation: The mansion is covered in the dark and black Heartless of all shapes and sizes come out of the woodworks. While faux Heartless that the mansion has created roam around, those that are confronted by the darkness can have their hearts 'ripped out' and for the rest of the day, if they so choose, feel like only a portion of themselves.
Also, those who managed to make it around without being confronted found The Rabbit hanging from the ceiling in the main foyer before he was sucked back up into the mansion.
Character: Ansem (Xehanort's heartless)
World: Kingdom Hearts
+ all characters from the world of Kingdom Hearts will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Ansem, however.
February
[ February 10th ] Come one! Come all! Everything in this house is so dreary. Let me treat you to a night of fun and excitement!
Translation: In light of the Rabbit being eaten by the mansion for his insubordination, everyone finds a yukata in their room for them to wear if they so choose. The mansion has enough new power from the display to turn the grounds into Japanese festival site; stands with cotton candy, candied apples, yakisoba, tako yaki, yakitori, fishing games, shooting games. At the end of the event is a fireworks show.. one that no one has ever seen; bright, beautiful, like beautiful bright flowers in bloom all over the dark mansion sky before everything fades back to the way it was.
Character: Yotsuba Koiwai
World: Yotsuba&
+ all characters from the world of Yotsuba& will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Yotsuba, however.
[ February 20th ] Winter Wonderland: Oh my! Is it ever getting cold here!

Character: Vexen
World: Kingdom Hearts
+ all characters from the world of Kingdom Hearts will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Vexen, however.
March
[ March 7th ] Words are really just words: just listen to the noises before you tell yourself it's just a different scene
Translation: Everyone is from a different world; as soon as the new day begins everyone can only speak to those who originally come from their world and even then communication is limited. If characters are bilingual then they can only speak the first language they learned. Journal posts should be marked: example [ kingdom hearts ] or as such [ Naruto - Japanese ].
Character: Mokona Modoki
World: Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
+ all characters from the world of Tsubasa will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Mokona, however. Also, Vexen, Tamaki Suoh and Kobato Hanato hear voices not of their own or from those of their own world. Not all the time, but when they do, it's voices of a thousand and one beings. But of what?
[ March 15th ] Where has the time gone? does anyone have the time? I seem to have misplaced my watch.
Translation: This is total plot stamped on your forehead with a gold sticker attached to it. On this day, at 6 o'clock the sound of a clock crashing reverberates all over the mansion. After that, the world seems to be stuck at 6'oclock until the characters figure out how to fix the time stop. This could last a day, this could last a week. Depends on how fast your characters can skin a cat. o.-
Characters: the Cheshire Cat, the March Hare & the Mansion
World: Wonderland
+ none of the characters will be affected directly by the world crashing as none are actually CRASHING.
April
[ April 4th ] Trust is for the weak: Even if they've been good, children still cause trouble for other children!

[ April 11th ] Cry me a river, sing me a song, laugh with me all day long: make sure that when you act, that it should be the true you
Translation: During the event, your characters events will flow out without any hesitation and your character must play out their emotions. Along with that, any reaction that your character may have to anything around him is five times as strong as they would be normally. (Think of your character going into overdramatics and play it out. |D) It's a "festival of 'feelings'" for the mansion!
Character: Tamaki Suoh
World: Ouran High School Host Club
+ all characters from the world of Ouran will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Tamaki however.
[ April 23rd ] We live in a monochrome world: Long long ago the world was so dark and dreary; almost lonely.. so dull and colorless.
Translation: Much like in KHII fashion where you go to the Timeless River world, the world of the mansion becomes a simplified version of itself.. a more 1950's cartoon-y version of itself. Along with that, the world has turned a black and white monochrome setting.
Character: Xemnas
World: Kingdom Hearts
+ all characters from the world of Kingdom Hearts will feel light-headed & woozy for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Xemnas, however. ... also, floating in the sky is a small blue dot... that if looked at through a telescope, is in the shape of a heart that seems to be emanating tremendous power.
May
[ May 10th ] To be different is to be alone: everyone is special and unique and not the same as anyone else!
Translation: The characters of the mansion during this day are now transformed into a different animal and or beast. OR if your character is already an animal, they can change into a different species. But each character can not be the same as anyone else. Everyone is different; as if they were the only one of their own kind.
Character: Nanaki (AKA: Red XIII)
World: Final Fantasy VII
+ all the characters from the world of Final Fantasy VII will feel light-headed & woozt for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Red XIII however.
[ May 25th ] The World must Change: We do not like Our children growing up in times such as this.
Translation: Kingdom Hearts is amongst the mansion. As the date for the event draws nearer, so does the powerful entity in the sky. On the day the event takes place, the giant blue heart in the sky is literally devoured into the mansion. When that happens, the real event starts. Residents of the mansion will become older or younger than they already are. You can choose just physically affected, mentally affected or having your character affected by both.
Character: Celine Jules
World: Star Ocean 2
+ all the characters from the world of Star Ocean 2 will feel light-headed & woozt for 3/4 of the day. Not as much as Celine however.
June
[ June 10th ] My Reflections of You: We do not want our children hurt... so long we have waited....
Translation: On this day, there's a flash of red at the corner of anyone's eye. It can't be caught, but every time there's a flash of red, a mirror breaks. While this goes on, 10 characters will be replaced with a mirrored version of themselves that will be the exact opposite of what your character originally was. Go wild. Show everyone that the people that they knew and were friends with have been changed by some unknown power. Watch the NPC journals for clues. Watch the world; watch your friends; watch your enemies; watch yourself; be swift in your actions. Who knows what these mirrored versions will do once they're let loose on the world.
Characters: The Duchess, The Cheshire Cat, The Caterpillar, The March Hare & the Mansion.
+ Only 10 characters will be directly affected by this event. No worlds are crashing.
July
[ July 1st ] Desert Tidings: The event is unannounced to the public inhabitants of the mansion, but if the mansion residents decide to post before the event starts; they may give hints that something is coming and that nothing in this mansion is unaffected physically.
For 2 days, the Mansion evokes a dry, dusty and hot climate. Strangle animals roam the hallways. The ceilings seem to pulse with the unsteady light of a desert sun; the hallways remain where they are, but the floor seems to have turned into dust and sand, some of the walls (and even rooms) becoming riddled with thick, large roots that seem to secrete a curious fog. The lowest level of the Mansion, in fact, has a constant, knee-deep carpet of this odd vapor; a little exploring reveals the source of the mist to be strange, stunted trees, sprouting out of the floors overnight. During this event, the mansion refuses to give food or drinkable water to it inhabitants. Characters can forage and those of braver constitutions (or better hunting prowess) can try to take down some of the strange animals that lurk in the mansion: unfortunately, it isn't going to be easy for anyone.
Character: Eiko Carol
+ when the characters from the Final Fantasy 9 world awaken on the day the event starts, they're heads feel like they've been sucked on and the name of "Madain Sari" is missing from their memory.
[ July 14th ] Something Missing: In the end You are all bound to misplace something.
Translation: From the minute that the residents rise up from their beds in the morning, they'll find themselves feeling something. Or lack there of to be precise - no matter what may happen be it someone drops an anvil on their foot, they are cut off to run to the bathroom after waiting for so long or even a friend arrives in the Mansion there is nothing. All those living in the Mansion will find themselves devoid of any and all emotion.
Character: Saix
+ all the characters from the Kingdom Hearts world, upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Nobody" missing from their memory.
August
[ August 4th ] Everywhere to Run; Nowhere to Hide: The event is unannounced to the public inhabitants.
For a full 24 hours, the Mansion residents will be under the influence of the 'Eat Me, Drink Me' syndrome. What is that? If your character eats something, they begin to grow PHYSICALLY in size. If your character drinks something, they physically shrink. There's a catch. Depending on how many times your character has died, the effects of the 'Eat Me, Drink Me' syndrome will vary. The effects are stronger if you've died more in the mansion.
Examples:
In the case of Yotsuba (who has died a total of 0 times), if she were to drink something, she'd grow shorter by a few inches with each sip or how much she drank. If she ate something, she'd gain back those few inches.
In the case of Luxord (who has died a total of 4 times), if he were to drink something, he may (at the player's choosing) shrink to the size of an ant. If he ate something, he may end up the size of The King of the Cosmos.
Characters: The Duchess, The Cheshire Cat, The Caterpillar, The March Hare, the Queen of Hearts & the Mansion.
[ August 25th ] Fight and Make up: Fickle are what Children are.
Translation: The moment your characters wake up for the day, the people that they were once close with are now viewed as people they dislike. Friends are now enemies. Enemies are now friends. Your most loved one is the one you hate the most. The one you hate the most? ... Well, I'll leave that one up to you players.

But, you're no longer human for the day. Time to utilize what monster type powers you have to get through the day.
Character: Guilmon
+ all the characters from Digimon, upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment and the word 'Digital World' is missing from their memories.
[ September 27th ] Books and pencils and lunch: such is the way of a child with their studies.

Character: Kaname Chidori
World: FULL METAL PANIC
+ all the characters from Full Metal Panic, upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Whispered" is missing from their memories.
October
[ October 18th ] Memories make up who we are: why bother to linger on something that is obviously so unimportant?
Translation: At the start of the day each of the residents will feel as though there is something missing or something that they have forgotten; a memory of great significance will have been taken from them for the duration of the day forget -- the most important thing about themselves, an event, characteristic, or even another individual that defines them as a person. It is up to you if your character realizes they seem to be forgetting something or not.
Character: Grune
World: Tales of Legendia

Character: Kobato Hanato
World: Kobato
+ all characters from the world 'Kobato', upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Nursery School" is missing from their memories.

Character: Walter Sullivan
World: Silent Hill
+ all characters from the world 'Silent Hill', upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment, and the word "hospital" is missing from their memories.
[ November 25th ] Entertain the senses: all the fun and excitement is rather overbearing
Translation: This is a two day event: The mansion setting has turned into Gold Saucer: Gaia's most prominent and only theme park. When the event starts, the characters will find themselves inside of a hotel room in Gold Saucer's Ghost square. Characters can make their way out of their rooms and down the hotel stairs to the graveyard where they can choose from 7 chutes to choose from. Money is still required for all the video games and all the rides and attractions so don't think your characters will have fun for free. Thankfully, things in Gold Saucer are cheap, and currency will be exchanged for the correct money. For better mental images please refer to these pictures: Station Square, Wonder Square, Event Square.
Character: Tifa Lockhart
World: Final Fantasy VII
+ all characters from the world 'Final Fantasy VII', upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Midgar" is missing from their memories.
==2008==
March
[ March 5th ] Sticking to overdone roles: This event is unannounced to the public inhabitants.
Translation: Everyone becomes a horrid stereotype of themselves, something overdone and cliche. For example, because of Nuriko's (FY) background, he'd become a flaming homosexual that could make Queer Eye for the Straight Guy look bad. Another example is Riku from Kingdom Hearts: He's a quiet and brooding type? Crank it up and he's become so emo that even cutting his wrists can't lift the angst from his soul. :|
Basically it boils down to this: Your character can NOT be normal. They will either be extreme uke / seme, over-ditzy, over-emotional, over-SOMETHING. So have fun. :D
Character: Hiro Nakamura
World: Heroes
+ all characters from the world 'Heroes', upon waking up, will feel woozy for a moment and the word "hero" is missing from their memories.
[ March 15th ] Lies hurt -- but so does the truth: The event is unannounced to the public inhabitants.
Translation: Everyone is brutally honest with their thoughts. They have no choice, and nothing can be private. You're an open book to everyone, absolutely everyone. Plain and simple, no twisting of words~
Character: Harry Mason
World: Silent Hill
+ all the characters from the world 'Silent Hill', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "radio" is missing from their memories.
[ March 25th ] Ding Dong, Wake Up: The event is unannounced to the public inhabitants.
Translation: This is a two day event. The mansion turns into a darker, creepier version of itself: all of the food is covered in maggots, the water is infested with goodness knows what and certainly isn't safe to drink. Everything looks like it's about to fall in on itself, and in the distance a church bell will toll. When it stops, the monsters come out to play.
Character: Ada Wong
World: Resident Evil
+ all the characters from the world 'Resident Evil', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Umbrella" is missing from their memories.
April
[ April 8th-10th ] The Best Time of the Year: Be careful not to overdo the decorations.
Translation: For the duration of this event, the season is evident in every corner of the mansion, both inside and out. The first, most obvious difference is the proliferation of what appear to be cherry trees-- no doubt a nostalgic sight for many of the residents.
The only problem is, these cherry trees all happen to be indoors, showering every hallway and corridor with soft, pink petals. In parts of the mansion-- noticeably, the main foyer-- the floor has been entirely replaced with soft, springy grass, with a miniature stream burbling along what were once the steps (and now resembles a small hill) and out the open door. What lies beyond? Why, a spring festival! There are various stalls that host games; vendors at their carts hawk every kind of edible fairground sweet you can imagine (and others that you can't).
What's the catch? There isn't one, of course. You won't have to pay a single cent. The March Hare likes it when people have fun. With fireworks every night and a miniature town lit up like something out of a fairy tale, how can you not?
Stay as long as you want.
Character: The March Hare
World: The Mansion
+ After the event concludes, the mansion-- and the area around it-- will experience consistent, unceasing rain for three weeks: in other words, until the end of April. Better cancel your picnics.
[ April 21st ] You wake up -- who are you again?: try new things and see things in a different light?
Translation: BODY SWAP TIME. People in the mansion, whenever they wake up, will find themselves in the body of someone else for the whole day. That means that all their physical traits -- magical powers included, are amongst the things included with the body swap. Of course, if your character has never dealt with magic, they won't immediately know how to control it. The Duchess wants you to try new things. What better way that to be in someone elses shoes?
Character: Roxas
World: Kingdom Hearts
+ all the characters from the world 'Kingdom Hearts', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Other" is missing from their memories.
May
[ May 22nd ] Battle of the sexes: life may be greener on the other side.
Translation: GENDER-SWAP TIME. Yes, darlings. Your character is now the opposite gender that they were born with. Same rules apply. The moment they wake up (or their equivalent) their bodies have switched sexes.
Character: Nuriko
World: Fushigi Yuugi
+ all the characters from the world 'Fushigi Yuugi', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Suzaku" is missing from their memories.
[ May 25th ] Start again from the beginning: we have not known it.
Translation: At the stroke of midnight (or whenever a character wakes up), initially they will have all their memories in tact. However, very quickly afterward, any and all their memories will have long since been gone and your character will only known the basics: eat, breathe, speak, fight and personality. Players can have their characters retain a memory or two but for the most part, everyone has become a clean slate to start over.
Character: Sora
World: Kingdom Hearts
+ all the characters from the world 'Kingdom Hearts', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Trinity" is missing from their memories.
June
[ June 15th ] Fears, Lies, and the Darkest Place: run and hide if you can.
Translation: At midnight, Zexion will disappear and the mansion will be flooded with illusions. Everyone will be forced to experience their greatest fears or desires, and fully believe that it is happening. They will be trapped in their rooms and unable to break free until midnight on June 17th, when Zexion returns.
Character: Zexion
World: Kingdom Hearts
+ all the characters from the world 'Kingdom Hearts', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Nobody" is missing from their memories.
[ June 24th ] run, run but You can never catch up: let things come to you.
Translation: For one day, everyone catches glimpses of something-- or someone-- at the edge of their peripheral vision. When they turn their head completely, it disappears. But if they're smart enough to keep it just at the corner of their eye, then--! What's this? The mysterious figure is someone you thought was dead or lost long ago, someone you've been looking for all this time. Even after all the failures, all the times you almost gave up, you never stopped believing, and now-- they're running away.
Ignore your friend's calls. All you need is what in front of your eyes. Chase after your rabbits, dear Alices, while you can-- because the moment you tire, you'll realize you're in a part of the grounds you've never been to.
[Individual characters are presented with shades of people unique to their particular history; while the characters can choose to resist, there's usually a very strong impulse to chase after it. When it finally disappears, characters find themselves a long, looong way from familiar grounds, and must find their way back~ only those with something in their past to trouble them are affected by the compulsion to follow the 'rabbits'; the others see them as nothing more than ordinary animals-- black and white hares, all over the mansion.]
Character: Rose Da Silva
World: Silent Hill
+ all the characters from the world 'Silent Hill', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "siren" is missing from their memories.
[ June 27th ] upside down and turn it all around: change in perspective
Translation: Characters dream of a horrible, crunching noise, like gears turning-- and when they wake up, they're on what used to be the ceiling. For one day, starting at 6 AM, the entire mansion turns upside down-- if you're on the mansion grounds, gravity works properly, and the mansion appears to have turned on its head. If you're inside the mansion, looking outside the windows is bizarre-- it looks like the sky is stretching out below you, and that it's grass above. Objects that are not being directly interacted with by a character (i.e. the clothes they're wearing-- no pantyshots, folks!) are not affected by the reversal; desks and beds remain on what is now the 'ceiling', and lights and drapes continue to hang 'upwards'-- the only exception are the terminals, which are already (for whatever reason) on the ceiling. Stairs, although upside down, are usable, and rooms can still be entered and exited (with varying effort required; rooms with very high ceilings will be hard to get out of~). The event ends at exactly 6 AM the next morning; wherever characters are, they'll fall from whichever part of the ceiling they're on to the corresponding area of the floor below.
Character: Eiko Carol
World: Final Fantasy IX
+ all the characters from the world 'Final Fantasy IX', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "summoner" is missing from their memories.
September
[ September 28th ] suffering and helpless worry, both shall drive you just as mad : no way to reach them...no way to find...
Translation: On this day, when everyone awakens, they will find the interior of the mansion transformed into what appears to be a hospital, complete with hospital beds and equipment, but the walls are covered with rust and blood. Some people within the mansion will find themselves in terrible, terrible pain, unable to do anything but suffer in it. Nothing can lessen the pain, not painkillers, not bed rest, not even the strongest healing magic will ease the pain, and the pain will last the entire day. For those who are not inflicted, it will suddenly become exceedingly difficult to reach those in pain. Random hallways and doors will become blocked off or locked, keeping them from helping those in need. On occasion, one can hear the sounds of a woman sobbing echoing down the halls, and banging on doors from the inside. The mansion will return to normal the next day, but everyone will find that the mirrors that could be smashed before are now unbreakable.

+ all the characters from the world 'Silent Hill', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Otherworld" is missing from their memories.
October
[ October 4th ] watch your mouth, watch your words: maybe it'll be quieter next time...
Translation: For the duration of the day, anything written in any journal over the network may become reality. It won't be every word written, but portions of people's posts and comments may become literal, no matter how much they were exaggerated in the first place. Calling people names might suddenly be hazardous, idioms may cause trouble, anything could change the world around you! Be creative with it! However - it's much easier to do by accident. If someone realizes what their journal can do, it will become harder for them to manipulate the power the way they want to. The journals seem to have a mind of their own, in this regard. The journals also can't violate the basic rules of the mansion (ie - "I wanna go home." will not send you home; "I wish so and so who I miss back home was here" will not bring them to the mansion and so on). The changes are not permanent and revert back once the event is over. Also, after the event, the mirrors will begin behaving strangely. People might notice that their reflections may linger a moment or two longer than they should, or that the reflections might even smirk or act on their own. Look back though, and the reflection will be gone completely.

November
[ November 9 ] jousting with windmills: keep to your path
Translation: For the day, everyone becomes obsessed with one goal which they will attempt to accomplish at all costs. Anything or anyone that gets in the way-- even those considered friends-- will be considered an enemy.
Character: Azure Kite
World: .hack//G.U.
+ all the characters from the world '.hack', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "NPC" is missing from their memories.
[ November 16 ] a cat is still a cat is still: still not delicious...
Translation: Everyone residing in the mansion who is considered to be an “innocent”, that is, everyone who has never had any kind of sexual experience before, will wake up with cat ears (in addition to their ordinary ears) and a tail. The ears and tail will work as they would on an ordinary cat, moving on their own in accordance with the person’s mood - they will have the body language of a cat. If they so happen to lose that innocence over the course of the event, they will lose their ears and tail, but the ears and tail will go away on their own when the event ends.
Character: Ritsuka Aoyagi
World: Loveless
+ all the characters from the world 'Loveless', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "therapy" is missing from their memories.
[ November 22-23 ] everyone has something to bring to the party: and everyone will lose themselves in it
Translation: At the stroke of midnight on the twenty-second, everyone within the mansion will become engulfed in Kakyou's dream. Whether they are awake or asleep at midnight, they will suddenly find themself within a dream of theirs. However, they are not limited to merely their own dreams - for this event, the dreams of every person in the mansion clash together. No dreams, be they good or bad, are hidden. Any dream can be walked into, any character's subconscious is there for anyone to see. Some may find themselves dreaming of interesting things though, perhaps of their futures.
Character: Kakyou
World: X
+ all the characters from the world 'X', upon waking the start of the event will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Tokyo Tower" is missing from their memories.
December
[ December 1 ] a time for every purpose: under the sun
Translation: For the day, residents of the mansion can only express their emotions at extremes; any small amount of gratitude turns into nearly-overbearing groveling, any small affection leads to outright proclamations of love and affection. However the catch is this: that same emotion can shift to its complete opposite in the blink of an eye, without any warning-- you could be trying to strangle someone you were just hugging, or weeping in despair moments after crying with laughter. This affects all characters, so enjoy it. ♥
At 9 in the evening, the event ends, and characters return to normal. When they step into the dining hall, they'll be confronted by a massive (and belated) Thanksgiving feast. When they seat themselves, they'll find a small 'present' dropping into their laps-- a framed picture of the person (or people), object, or place from their own worlds they wish to see the most, but aren't currently in the mansion. The pictures will be moving and capable to responding to what the person holding them does, much like the magical photos in Harry Potter.
Character: The March Hare
World: The Mansion
+ no characters' memories will be affected by this event.
==2009==
January
[ January 10th ] don't wake me up: I am still dreaming
Translation: This event will begin seemly normally, like an average day in the Mansion. As the day goes on, however, characters will find themselves bursting into song and dance during their daily routines. Every character is suddenly coordinated enough to dance, everyone can hit those difficult notes, like magic. You can make up songs, pick them from artists you know, or even use bits and pieces of songs to make a medley. Characters may find themselves doing duets and entire chorus numbers at times! The mansion may also join in during the song, and change and distort its appearance according to a character's song at times. The catch is, the song needs to be about whatever they are doing, thinking, or feeling at the time. Songs can be from any world, whether the characters would normally know them or not. Think of it as the mansion putting songs in their heads. ♥

World: Across the Universe
+ all the characters from the world 'Across the Universe', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Vietnam" is missing from their memories.
[ January 17th-18th ] Open Up Your Mind: it's time for class
Translation: The mansion is turned into Mad Mod's "school" mansion, and the outside is turned into a weirdo version of London ala Revolution.
Character: Beast Boy
World: Teen Titans
+ all the characters from the world 'Teen Titans', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "tower" is missing from their memories.
[ January 25th ] Sweeter than a Flower's Breath: they find their life within their death
Translation: During the day, objects in the Mansion transform into butterflies-- their size and color depends on the object it originally was. For example, a table might turn into a brown butterfly with a wingspan as wide as the original table, while a butterfly that used to be a book might have the color of the cover on the top half of its wings, and text on the bottom.
Even objects in use can be affected by this (books, clothing, equipment), and the transformation is often subtle rather than instantaneous-- a character might observe an object slowly growing wings, for example. These butterflies will flutter through the Mansion throughout the day, not causing any harm; however, damaging one will revert it back to being an object (you don't want to do this to the butterfly that used to be a grand piano, obviously), and they will also transform back into their original forms after the event.
The catch: at some point during the day, one of your characters important personal possessions (which one of them? Your choice!) will turn into a butterfly... and this one, unlike its lazily flying brothers, will fly away from your character as fast as it can. Good luck finding it in a mansion full of butterflies! Of course, after the event, they can reclaim it, but hopefully that's before someone else picks it up.

February
[ February 1st ] No One Likes Unpleasant Guests: by invitation only
Translation: It's a tea party, and everyone has to wear their best dress and drink tea, no exceptions. It is impossible to remove the dress, even if you're a boy. Style of dress is up to the player, but kilts and skirts are prohibited, it has to be a dress. Drinking tea is mandatory no matter the consequences, or how much a character dislikes it. Tea cups and pots are indestructible, and trying spill the cup to get rid of it will make it defy gravity and force itself down a character's throat. In addition, the entire first floor of the mansion has been turned into a tea party room, with a table so large you can't see the ends. It's filled with airy little cakes and pastries that never really fill you up. A character that enters the room is immediately assigned a seat, each is unique, no two are the same, and the chair can move around the edge of the table at will. Unoccupied seats will move out of the way, but occupied ones could collide if you're not careful. Characters can control their chairs and move to sit anywhere, or beside anyone, at the table just by thinking about them.
Character: Palette
World: Graffiti Kingdom
+ all the characters from the world 'Graffiti Kingdom', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "graffiti" is missing from their memories.
[ February 10th ] You're not the you: you think you are
Translation: Everybody in the mansion is from an AU of themselves. The difference may only be small, such as a slightly altered backstory; maybe one significant event didn't happen, that one person didn't die, or that other person did. Or maybe it's something more fundamental; maybe they never lost their heart, or maybe they were a different gender. Perhaps Eiko was never a Summoner, but was born as Regent Cid and Lady Hilda's child, or perhaps Axel did kill Roxas in Twilight Town. Go wild, but regardless of what the difference is, the character will never notice their own change, they will only notice it in the rest of the characters. Character's memories of their time within the mansion will stay intact and unchanged, the AU applies only to their home world.

[ February 26-28th ] Home is where the heart is: and your hearts are far from home
Translation: On the first morning, everyone wakes up with a strong urge to get outside and see what's beyond their known borders. Any deep friendships will harbor a new competitive streak; characters will want to run further, run faster, fight harder than their friends. The mansion itself has undergone another change; the walls are white, the corridors longer and starker, roses bloom with thick, vicious thorns, and the stairs wind and twist for an age before they end. Characters will find themselves drawn through all of this outside, to the beach, and visible from the beach, on the horizon, is a clump of green. How are characters supposed to get there? Everything they need to build a raft is scattered around, ropes, and logs, and buoyant barrels and sheets for sails, even oars are washed up on the sands. Should a character build a raft, and that will be easier with their friends to help, if they don't get too distracted with the desire to race and climb the palm trees, they can venture out to the island, and there, they're in for a surprise. The closer they get, the less real the island appears, until it's a simple child's pastel drawing, made three dimensional and tangible. It's Destiny Islands, complete with a beach, a fort, and a secret cave harboring a door that cannot be opened.
The event will last until the evening of the 28th, and the longer the characters stay on the island, the more real the island will become, and the more certain the character will become that they have always been here. Their lives before Wonderland were nothing but a fantasy, and only their existence here in Wonderland is real. They will hear, from time to time, ghostly and barely there, a girl's voice, reminding them of their promise of protection, and through the mirrors they might catch glimpses of a pale girl in white.
On the last day of the event, there will be a shower of falling stars at nightfall and characters will snap out of this belief, but Destiny Islands will remain a permanent feature of Wonderland.

March
[ March 6th ] If you're thirsty: wouldn't you prefer tea?
Translation: Upon waking, all characters will find themselves suffering a terrible thirst. Their mouths are dry, their throats are parched. When they go to relieve this thirst, however, they will find that all the consumable liquid in the mansion is alcoholic. It isn't water running from the faucets, but vodka, or sake, or white wine, or red. It doesn't matter what a character goes to find to drink, the only thing available in the mansion is alcohol. The fountain outside runs with warm sake, the showers run with vodka, and should anyone be stupid enough to try drinking sea water, it will turn into beer in their mouths. The mansion is devoid of any other beverages, even tea, and as the hours pass, that thirst only grows worse and worse. When characters eventually give in, of course, they will get drunk, and the more they drink, the more social they will become until eventually they latch onto one person to spend the evening drinking with. That person will become their best friend for the night, and they won't wish to be parted until the night is out.
Hangovers will occur in the morning as normal.
Character: Yuuko Ichihara
World: xxxHOLIC
+ all the characters from the world 'xxxHOLIC', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "wish" is missing from their memories.
[ March 14th ] But what could be more important: than everything you want?
Translation: Everybody in the mansion loses their hearts for a day. This doesn't render them totally emotionless, but any emotion that is not self involved becomes very, very difficult to express. Characters become selfish and spiteful, caring only for what they want, and not for anyone else's wishes. They will hurt others if it suits them, finding it difficult or too bothersome to decide between right and wrong, and everyone is just that little bit more immature, prone to tantrums and sulking when they don't get their way.
Characters will not be aware that their behavior has changed, but they will feel an aching emptiness inside, like something is missing.
Character: Howl
World: Howl's Moving Castle
+ all the characters from the world 'Howl's Moving Castle', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Ingary" is missing from their memories.
[ March 20th - 22nd ] Who is it you fight for: when you fight with all your hearts?
Translation: For three days, everybody is partnered up as either Fighters or Sacrifices. How do they find their partner? They'll be drawn to them, having a strange urge to make sure that the other character is unharmed. Their normal abilities won't work; the only way to fight is with the one person who shares their fighting name, and once they find that person, the basics of how they should fight will come instinctively to them. Even those who normally have no magical abilities will find themselves bestowed with them. Pairs may fight each other, or they may fight off the monsters that will come through the mirrors: Heartless, but unlike normal Heartless, these are made of flesh and blood, their limbs twisted and disjointed. If characters fail to fight them off, or run away, they will kill the characters. This will count as a mansion death.
Character: Ritsuka
World: Loveless
+ all the characters from the world 'Loveless', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Fighter" is missing from their memories.
[ March 29th ] The Beast Within: kept under leash
Translation: All residents of the mansion grow more aggressive as the day wears on. Small disagreements explode into violence, minor spats become blood feuds. Even those who have no quarrel with people will find themselves picking fights with others, with the people that matter to them and with complete strangers.
Character: Saix
World: Kingdom Hearts

April
[ April 10th - 11th ] miss anything and everything: but the magic never leaves...
Translation: For the duration of this event, the mansion will be transformed into Hogwarts and its grounds. This is an AU event, meaning that when every character awakes, it will be as though they have always attended or taught at Hogwarts.
Character: James Potter
World: Harry Potter
+ all the characters from the world 'Harry Potter', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the phrase "marauder" is missing from their memories.
May
[ May 2nd ] It's all your fault: when you're the victim
Translation: For the duration of the event, everyone is to blame. It may be for small things, it may be for big things, but whatever does or has gone wrong is blamed on innocent parties, without proof, and without reason. If something happens to a character, they will blame the first person they see, regardless of whether it was their fault or not. No matter how much evidence there is to prove innocence, it will be ignored.
Character: Azure Kite
World: .hack
+ all the characters from the world '.hack', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the phrase "AIDA" is missing from their memories.
[ May 9th-10th ] ...Until they spoil: ...leaves a bad taste
Translation: When the event begins, the sky will turn dark and stormy, and the air will be oddly cold for May. The reason, is that the mansion is now plagued with Dementors, creatures that feed on positive emotions. Prolonged exposure to a Dementor can cause depression and insanity, and an attack known as a Dementor's Kiss sucks the character's soul from their body and leave them in a vegetative state (and they will remain that way for the duration of the event). Anyone with loved ones in Wonderland will be overcome with a need to protect those people, even if it means sacrificing themselves in the process, and even if they aren't normally the type to self-sacrifice. If someone offers themself to a Dementor to save someone they care for who is being attacked, they will receive the Dementor’s Kiss in their place. Once the Dementors leave at the end of the second day, those who have been attacked will return to normal with a night's rest. A Dementor's Kiss is not a mansion death.
Character: Lily Evans
World: Harry Potter
+ all the characters from the world 'Harry Potter', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the word "Dementor" is missing from their memories.
[ May 17th ] Empty Places, Empty Faces: in the hearts of men
Translation: The mansion seems to have gone from being a luxuriously furnished residence to a dusty warehouse overnight. Residents will find themselves unable to get any items out of their closets; when they leave their rooms, they'll find boxes are piled up in the halls, marked for shipping destinations and recipients that don't exist (and some that do), and old wardrobes and chests are haphazardly jammed together. Most of these contain little more than dust and cobwebs; some work like the closets usually do. Others contain Boggarts, a shapeless creature that assumes the form of the greatest fear of whoever encounters it. The only method of defeating a Boggart is laughter, though being surrounded by many individuals can also confuse it.
Character: Remus Lupin
World: Harry Potter
+ all the characters from the world 'Harry Potter', upon waking will feel woozy for a moment and the phrase "Phoenix" is missing from their memories.
[ May 25th ] Silly tongues tied in knots: is this who you've become?
Translation: Upon waking, it will seem to be a normal day. However, everyone will find themselves calling each other by nicknames. They will have no choice in the matter, and the more they like someone (be it romantically or just as friends), the sillier and more ridiculous the names will be. The only exception is if they truly hate someone, there will be no nickname.

June
[ June 1st-4th ] The Quiet Sea [part 1]: drowning your dreams
Translation?: Wouldn't you want to know? ♥ A pale witch draws on a hero's memories: a quiet seaside town at the end of summer, filled with the laughter of children and the heat of the afternoon sun. For more information on this event, please see this post.
Character: The March Hare Naminé
World: The Mansion Kingdom Hearts?
+ No character's memories will be affected by this event... or will they?
[ June 18th-19th ] But dream just for now: Of twirling and whirling and painting and sculpting....
Translation: For the duration of this event, upon waking, the mansion is gone, and the grounds are replaced by a quaint little town, with many white buildings with red roofs. It is an old-fashioned town, almost as if it were the setting of a fairy tale. In this town, Kinkan Town, there is a small Academy of the Arts, divided into two schools - Dance and Art. It is a boarding school where the students live in dormitories, however they all were born and raised in that little town. For the duration of this event everyone will be either a student or a teacher, in either of the schools. They have school uniforms, boys and girls. Also, some of them will inexplicably be animals of various kinds. Not all, but some (and they will be awkwardly fitted into the uniform as best as they can). However, you have always lived in this town and this is totally normal, and weren't you always a cat? The other noticeable thing about this tiny town is the wall surrounding it. No one ever really leaves this town (and no one will be allowed to leave this town), but everyone seems fine with that. Why would you want to leave? This is an AU event for most characters - the only characters who might notice something odd is going on are the Princess Tutu cast, who will remember the mansion and be wondering why they are suddenly home and why they have so many new classmates.

[ June 28-29th ] Lose Yourself to Find Yourself: you are what you eat
