[Monday morning dawns and it seems like Jack has kept good on his promise and the past week has become just another Mayfield nightmare. Already, the effects of the brutal surgeries are fading if they haven't outright vanished overnight. Once again, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, drones happily greet you as you walk outside, and Mayfield has returned to the status quo as truly the perfect place to live.

Well, probably.

Maybe.

As long as you don't die, anyway.]

This marks the end of the event. Surgery effects can be either immediately reversed or disappear over time; however, all modifications will have faded in two weeks' time. Anyone who participated in this event is eligible for a regain; as usual, please mention that your character participated in this event and we'll trust your word!

Following this event, the revival system in Mayfield has been permanently changed. Anyone who dies from this point on will revive with one or more of the following effects:

Incomplete revival - Symptoms may indicate a character is only partially alive; in extreme cases they will physically appear to be a reanimated corpse.
- Weak pulse and low blood pressure
- No pulse, heartbeat or blood movement
- Wounds are still present, but blood has congealed
- Extremely low body temperature
- Inability to eat or drink
- Inability to breathe
Incomplete healing - Characters have been revived, but the cause of death has not been removed.
- Wounds and physical effects (i.e. poison, illness) are present but reduced to non-fatal levels
- Characters retain a pre-death emotional state: heightened adrenaline levels, fear and anxiety, shock, etc.
- Characters will suffer phantom pain: although the physical wound will have been healed, it will still hurt as badly as it did in the moment of death
Emotional changes - Characters experience emotional changes from the process. In extreme cases, characters may be brought back, but without their memories, personality, or ability to feel emotions.
- Dimished capacity to feel emotion
- Loss of the ability to feel emotion entirely
- Heightened feelings of anger, violence, and despair
- Short term memory loss, particularly relating to the character's death or of Mayfield
- Full or partial amnesia
Nightmare state - Characters will experience disturbing hallucinations, visions, and nightmares. In extreme cases, they will be in a constant state of terror.
- Memory of death; characters will feel as though they were conscious for the entire time they were dead, and were trapped in an empty void for what seemed like an endless amount of time.
- Hallucinations; characters will hallucinate disturbing and terrifying visions.
- Nightmares; characters will have incredibly disturbing and terrifying visions that may occur whenever they attempt to sleep, or every time they close their eyes.
- False reality; characters will feel as though they are still dead, the reality they've returned to is false, and everyone around them is to be distrusted.
Droning
- Characters may return as drones for a period of time
- 'Drone' emotional state; character is not droned, but will only experience artificially positive emotions.
- 'Glitching'; character will only be able to cycle through a few stock drone phrases.
Revival delay - respawning will take several days to a week instead of the usual overnight revival. (If you'd rather not have your character revive with any of the above effects, you can simply delay their respawning by a day or so and have it be an otherwise normal revival.)

The effects from reviving will not be permanent and will wear off in anywhere from an hour to a week.

Beginning in the morning on January 29, those who died since the destruction of the revival machine will start returning to Mayfield. However, this won't be the waking up whole and in bed sort of revival Mayfield residents are used to.

Revived characters will appear on the street outside the Mayfield hospital. Aside from the cause of their death, they will still be in the same state they were when they died. So, for example, the bulletwound to the head may be gone, but their head will still be covered in blood. There will also be side effects coming along with revival. Some of the following symptoms will be present, although their severity is up to the player. You can combine elements in any way you wish.

( Side Effects )

These effects will last until the end of the event, although the player can decide if they fade, increase, or stay the same over time. You can now revive a dead character at any time during the event (although their revival will have to be 24 hours or more after their death), but you must do one of these complications. If you signed a dead character up for surgery, you may choose to have them revived directly on the operating table. All characters will be revived at the end of the event.

Please direct all questions to the thread below.

Sign ups for the event are now closed, and the first day of surgeries will take place tomorrow morning, January 27th, in a new location that seems to exist outside of Mayfield.

OOCly how this will work is that a new group of about twenty characters will be selected every night. We'll reply to your sign-up comments letting you know what will happen to your character. Your character will go through their surgery, and then will be brought to the factory recovery room along with the other patients there that day.

Characters will be able to interact with each other if they're feeling well enough. After a day of "observation" in the factory, they will be dumped on the ground outside the hospital in Mayfield, welcome to go home if they're well enough to get there themselves.

Any character abducted tonight will be able to interact in the day 1 factory post, and will be back in Mayfield the morning of January 28.

All questions about this stage of the event belong in this post. Information about any characters who have died will come in a few days. The event, overall, will probably last until next weekend so everyone will have a chance to have a character operated on.

Beginning January 27, Mayfield will be instituting an emergency plan to attempt to correct the malfunctioning revival system. This plan will involve kidnapping random citizens for improvements, repairs, or experimentation. Characters may be operated on in ways that involve changes such as:

( warning for gore )

Characters may or may not be drugged for the surgery. The surgery and its effects will not be fatal, although characters will still be able to die for other reasons. Keep in mind that revival is currently turned off, and death will be permanent until a few days into this stage of the event. Characters who die during the event can participate, but you'll need to specify when they die.

If you would like to participate, please fill out the form below. While we encourage you to list what you are and aren't okay with, and while we will absolutely respect what you list, please keep in mind that this event will certainly involve blood, gore, body horror, and dark themes. If you aren't comfortable with that, we suggest that you don't sign up.

Sign-ups will be open until January 27, when this stage of the event begins. Signed up characters will be selected randomly in daily shifts, and the mods will determine what specifically happens to them. We only guarantee that one of your characters will be selected, so please don't forget to specify which character you most want involved. Please only sign up 3 characters maximum. If you sign up, you're giving us permission to screw with your character. If you change your mind about participating, please PM us.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Preferred Character:</b> If you are signing up multiple characters, and there is one you most want involved, please specify here. <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Username:</b> <b>Preferred:</b> The type of effects you would like your character to have. <b>Please do not:</b> The type of effects you do not want for this character. <b>Drugged/Unconscious/Awake:</b> Do you want your character drugged, unconscious, or awake for the surgery. If you don't have a preference that's fine. <b>Death:</b> If your character will die before the surgeries start, please say so here.

As always, if you are not comfortable with the themes of any event, you may ask that your character not be tagged by affected characters, handwave lack of participation, drone your character, or post backdated entries. We don't want anyone to feel pressured to participate in something that is going to upset them.

Please use the question thread for all questions.

[Well, you really bungled it up this time, didn't you Mayfield? Luckily, the morning dawns without any signs that something's amiss. The birds are singing, the sun is shining, your drone neighbors and family greet you as happily as usual, some of them bleeding through heavy and seemingly fatal wounds...

...wait, what?

As the day goes on, some of you may start to feel a sharp pain in various parts of your body. Some of you may even begin developing gruesome wounds. Strangely enough, these wounds somehow seem quite familiar....]

Following the destruction of the revival machine, death in Mayfield is now permanent. No more comfortably waking up in your bed; anyone who dies will not come back. This will continue until some point during the second stage of the event (probably about 5-6 days), and at that point, no one will be brought back without some serious side effects. So if you choose to kill your character during the event, please keep that in mind and be okay with that!

Additionally, starting this morning, anyone who has previously died in Mayfield before may find the wounds from which they expired from reappearing on their body. The extent of these injuries is up to you - they can range from scars to phantom pain to the complete reappearance of the killing wound or condition with or without accompanying pain. Whether the condition is healable/treatable is also up to you.

The condition may even be severe enough to prove fatal again; however, please don't forget that the revival system is broken, and anyone who dies will not be revived. While there will be an option to revive later in the event, it won't be without consequences. Anyone who dies will be revived at the end of the event.
