TURKEY EDITION!

That's right, pokepeople! We're back! It's an itty one, so have fun with it!
As is usual for our semi-annual 4th Wall events, following the cue from a mod post, there will be a loud crack and a flash of white light in our regions of Johto and Kanto. When your characters blink a few times, the scene before their eyes will return to normal... however... there will be a lot more people, or beings, in the cities, or along the routes, or even just trolling about on the PokéConnect.
Paths will be absurdly easy to travel, or, if you want, uncommonly difficult. It can take as long or as little as you want it to in order to go from city to city, and you can check out whatever building you want. Hell, if your character is accidentally caught in the glitch, they may wake up in an unfamiliar place!
What's a fourth wall, you ask?
The Fourth Wall event is where people from other games, random characters, even players themselves, just randomly interact with your characters. It's a literal breaking of that invisible "fourth wall" that separates the game-verse from... the rest of the internet.
How do you participate?
In short, a character makes a post in their journal and others tag it. You could tag other entries if you don't want to make a post. You do not have to use just your character journal to tag; you can use characters from other games, crack accounts, player accounts, and the like, to interact with the character who made the post. We would like to request that you keep all fourth wall activities to your character journals and not the logs community because of the security settings on the logs community (however, feel free to log in your journals).
What kind of characters can participate?
Anything and everything, from AU versions to characters in-game or those from other games, ponies, disembodied heads, zombies, Arceus with a saddle, the players, Hello Kitty, and the list goes on... You can choose whether your character remembers the previous fourth wall or not.
Will my character remember the 4th wall?
Your character will remember some events as an actual event in-game. The machine itself will confuse most of the thoughts, but your character can remember parts! Just like last time, memories will still be somewhat fractured and mixed up, but they are honest to goodness memories. If you need a number for reference, figure that a character can remember about 80% of what happens during this three-day period.
As well as the three-day time difference. There's still no explanation for that one. The Professors won't even be reachable for a few days; don't even expect them to answer your calls. To make it worse, you may not be where you were last... feel free to remain where you traveled during the incident, or anywhere else...
What about people coming in, can they have a pokémon too?
Sure thing! You can bring in any pokémon from any generation and challenge whoever you want for however much you want. Feel free to knock down or burn down anything. Current players are also allowed to have whatever else they want in their party, but your party will return to what you had in-game after the event.
What if I don't want to participate?
The fourth wall is not a required event. However, it does affect the game's setting, so logging would have to be backdated or forward-dated to before or after the fourth wall. Please keep in mind that due to the size of the game, your posts may get lost in the event-related posts. If you choose not to participate, your character may enter a glitch or be asleep during the event.
What if I just arrived and haven't made an in-character introduction post yet?
Feel free to arrive in the middle of the event! Your character will probably just be that much more confused. You may also hold off until after the event if you wish, in order to not become lost in the confusion.
Would my non-human character remain in their form for the event? What about powers?
Up to you! Your character can return to their original form, powers intact, or whatever you like! Have fun.
Can my character catch pokémon during the event?
Yes, they may. However, they won't be able to keep all of them. Feel free to saddle your character with some odd pokémon they weren't expecting to have, like that odd Magikarp that happened to swim in their packs. Those not listed on the normal routes may not be kept; but you may have your character keep a pokémon that is not on their current route of travel.
Does this count for the activity check?
Yes. Yes, it does. :D
As a clarification of the Fourth Wall AC rule — fourth wall threads and posts carried out by characters who are current residents of Route are fair game for AC. Fourth-wallers and AU versions of a character currently in Route (for example, the same character played as from a different canonpoint, etc) do not count towards AC, even when played by the same player.
