Event: Error 4639

Early in the morning of day Twenty-Two (OOC 12th June) a message will appear on the ICP. It won't be there very long (around 15 minutes) before it disappears.

Or at least it can be assumed it disappears because the whole ICP system goes down. All the screens come up with a message at the same time (Error code 4639. Program must end.) and then go dark. There doesn't seem to be any reset buttons, or even power switches to the ICPs and even the more technological based Voidtreckers who are connected to the systems will not be able to find the ICP's to switch them back on.

It doesn't stop there, because the voidtreckers will quickly find that the ICP's are not the only thing broken. Indeed whatever technology that allows everyone to be understood by each other has broken. During the whole of day twenty two they will only be able to speak the languages that they spoke back on their worlds.

Characters who have an ability to speak all languages, or an ability to understand and be understood despite language will find that ability still works.

In conclusion. On day twenty two.

~ Characters can only speak and understand the languages they know in their canon.
~ There is no ability to use the voice or video function of the ICP.
~ None of the other ICP functions work.
~ The names outside the rooms are written in an alphabet no Voidtrecker will recognise.
~ The normal power is not effected. Also, strangely enough, the VR games and the cinema are still functioning. The films are all in a language no voidtrecker speaks.
~ They will find that the books are written in a language they don't understand as well (unless it is a specific title from their world that they requested, in which case it is written in the original language).

This will last until the next day. When characters wake up on day twenty-three they will find everything back to normal.

The initial message and a catch all post will go up on the 12th June. This event runs between 12th and 13th June.

Here is a handy plotting form!

WEIRD QUESTION but how hard would paperclips be to find on the train if, say, people wanted to organise a way to help ppl find those who speak similar languages.

Or perhaps a means of arranging seating at dinner time in the dining carriage so people have someone to speak to.... a type of prop that can be sat on a table. do you imagine it wouldn't be hard to come up with something?

Possibly pieces from the game room could be taken?? idk if there would be erasable pens and writing cards in there from one of the games... OR EVEN MORE LUCKILY, CARDS YOU CAN CLIP ON YOUR SHIRT ok no. unless the mod will give us those. as a treat.

STICKY LABELS, EVEN BETTER. the paper wasn't so much the problem as a great way to have it presented, aha. I shall try for some OOC plotting, thank you!
