EVENT WRITE-UP: BACK TO THE FUTURE
BACK TO THE FUTURE PLOTTING POST The good news of the week is that recruits are making great progress bug-stomping! The bad news is that they haven't quite gotten all of the bugs. Those left, which is a thankfully very small part of the original population, very suddenly stop eating, stop attacking, and vanish from sight. All is quiet in Oska. That is, of course, until September 1st. The temporal bugs haven't left, they've just secreted themselves away and into cocoons. And what comes out of those cocoons? Something a whole lot meaner. When these guys hatch they're going to be loud, angry, and very aggressive. They're much larger now, about the size of a bull, and they're no longer interested in munching on temporal energy. They will instead attack anything they run into on sight, and can only be dissuaded by death or by the sight of another of the evolved bugs. In the event that two of them meet up, they'll immediately fixate on each other. What follows is presumably some sort of mating dance, which cumulates in the two of them gnawing their way out of this dimension. This produces a rift scar that leaves everything in the area a little temporally weird (more of those ghosts from part 1, but with a lot less flickering), until the area heals over in a day or two. There's one more effect the bugs have: their bites also cause temporal oddities, but localized to the person bitten. It sets in anywhere from 2 to 24 hours after the initial bite, and can last anywhere from two hours to seven days. Characters bitten will find themselves shifting through their own timeline, back into the past already lived, or up into any number of potential futures. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it: characters may remember their time thus far with ALASTAIR clearly, foggily, or not at all, and might not even be anchored to just one alternative point, but drift between a few of them. If anyone has ever wanted to revisit puberty, now would be a great time for it. Things will have returned fully to normal one week later, just in time for the next mission dossier to drop. The next mission will kick off on September 15th. The accompanying event log will go up on September 1st. Please feel free to use this post for planning the next week!

However, he will be doing his best to gather information on the insects and the time rifts- How exactly, I'm not sure. As he is a mere mortal who is still adapting to an action/adventure type setting, he's going to have a lot of difficulty but he will do his best! He wants to prove himself worthy, and will most likely get into a lot of trouble. :( I would love to get CR with other characters who are also just trying to figure stuff out, that kind of team-building would be so fun.
Asher is also gentle at heart and great with children- So for any people who have characters who are younger, if he runs into them he will do his best to make sure they are happy and safe... I'd also love for him to get a little shaken up this event as well! So if anyone has a character from a darker timeline and needs an easy, insecure target, he is yours for the taking.

no subject
How much of a problem solver is he?
no subject
he is a law student, after all. he's smarter than he thinks he is too- that and he's sort of desperate to prove not only to others but also himself that he's here for a reason! i think he'll be curious about... u kno the people in uniforms that looked like alastair's, the ones you could see in the time lapses in the events last week? he'd be curious to find out about those
no subject
She knows all about being desperate to prove herself so if he needs some brawn/ another canny mind she'll come and help him. If nothing else she's worried about getting sent back or forth in time herself and ending up in a troublesome situation.
