Nightshift 67 Forced Drug Trial Participants & Instructions
Hello again, everyone! As discussed on the previous post about Drug Trials, several of your characters have the opportunity to receive either a Drug Trial sticker or a non-canon weapon of your choice (subject to mod approval).
This is a list of everyone who will be affected this NS:
Yuri Petrov -voiceofthanatos
Gren Eckener -stellarregions
Sangamon Taylor -toxicspiderman
Karkat Vantasthisisyourgod
Zero -dividedby
Gabriel -impudentsongbird
Ryuugamine Mikado -ofthemotions
Ryusei Sakuta -asteroidbelt
Nakatsukasa Tsubaki -thecamellia
Murphy Pendleton -stop_the_rain
If your character was selected, then the nurse will inject them with a drug that, according to the staff, will prevent them from catching whatever strange bug has been going around among the patients lately. As far as they're concerned, there is nothing fishy or unsavory about what they're doing. Of course, your character knows better...or do they? If not, they're in for a nasty surprise, ke ke ke.
Once your character has been injected with the drug, you will have several options. First, you'll be asked whether you'd like to roll for the opportunity to have some of your character's powers restored for 1 Nightshift. It would only be one ability (if they have a ton of powers), and it might need to be limited even then if it's the sort of things that could take the building down.
However, unsuccessfully rolling for powers puts the character at a 1 in 50 chance of having a fatal reaction to the drug. They will become very ill and suffer a painful death that Nightshift. Similar to the rules for coliseum deaths, they will eventually wake up in the morgue with some kind of permanent penalty (details would be discussed with the mods).
If your character doesn't get their powers back and suffers no fatal reaction, OR you choose to skip the power roll entirely, an NPC mod will randomize from the following list of side-effects:
Please note that characters would not start exhibiting their symptoms until Nightshift has officially started. In other words, regardless of what the drug is supposed to do to your character, the reaction would not manifest until dinner shift has ended.
For each character who takes a drug, NPC mods will roll 2 numbers and present the player with a choice of what they would rather have their character affected with. For example, an NPC mod could roll both options 6 and 10, and the player could choose whether to have their character 1) relive parts of a painful memory or 2) have the urge to murder someone for the rest of the nightshift.
Rx Stickers gained from this event will be placed on a patient's uniform the following shift, provided eligible players comment to the Pin Approval Post.
Weapons gained from this event will automatically appear in their possessions box at the start of the next Dinner Shift, provided eligible players discuss the details and receive approval from a mod.
Once your character is about to test one of the drugs, please leave a comment using the following template, and an NPC mod will be more than happy to randomize for you.

Thread: Day 67: Dinner
Do You Want to Try for a Returning Power Roll/Death Roll?: Answer yes or no.
Pin or Weapon? If you choose a weapon, please explain what kind you'd like so a mod can review your request.
If you have any questions or concerns, please put “QUESTION” in the subject line for easier visibility. Court, Claire, or myself will answer as soon as possible. Alternatively, you're free to contact us over AIM, plurk or E-mail.
Thank you very much, and enjoy! 8)

stop_the_rainIf your character was selected, then the nurse will inject them with a drug that, according to the staff, will prevent them from catching whatever strange bug has been going around among the patients lately.

If your character doesn't get their powers back and suffers no fatal reaction, OR you choose to skip the power roll entirely, an NPC mod will randomize from the following list of side-effects:
1. Hallucinate monsters for a 24-hour period. They won't be constant hallucinations, but may crop up at inconvenient times. A character may only see glimpses of horrific creatures, or they might think they're about to come under an all-out attack.
2. Hear voices for a 24-hour period. It can be the voice of a family member or loved one, a crying child, or a foe from the past. They may say disparaging things, that there's no point in trying to escape, that they're too weak to do anything, etc. They might cry, wail or scream like they're in great pain or dying. Or maybe even both.
3. Zombie virus until the end of the following NS. (One part of body begins to decay, and character has the urge to munch on other characters. If character has already experienced the zombie virus in Doyleton, it returns in the same place it did before.) They can pass it onto other patients as well (their infection will also last until the end of the following NS).
4. Brainwashed for a full 24-hour period (same rules as DS 45's Real Life Event)
5. If your character touches another character ANY TIME during the next 24 hours, they will be assaulted by an emotional or memory transference of a traumatic nature. This means that they will feel something the other patient is feeling or get flashes of an upsetting memory of theirs. The severity and length of this will depend on how long the touch lasted, similar to the phantasm guidelines.
6. Relive parts of a personal traumatic memory over the course of a 24-hour period.
7. Develop an intense fear of the dark for 24 hours.
8. Constantly hear threadmates say ominous or threatening things for a 24-hour period, even though they may be saying something completely innocuous.
9. Followed by the ghost of a loved one, acquaintance or enemy for 24 hours. It won't physically trail after, but rather abruptly appear in different places throughout the day.
10. Have the urge to murder someone for the rest of the Nightshift.
11. Slowly change into an Institute monster throughout the rest of the Nightshift (details worked out with mods).
Please note that characters would not start exhibiting their symptoms until Nightshift has officially started. In other words, regardless of what the drug is supposed to do to your character, the reaction would not manifest until dinner shift has ended.
