Those seeking to find this location will find themselves lost hopelessly to the labyrinth of the net. However, those searching simply for promise and prospect may very well find themselves exiting from the darkness of the undernet via a long, narrow bridge over nothingness that appears only on the rare whim of random chance. When crossing it, those observing the scene will find themselves entering into an entirely different world from that of the abyss that they have ventured through. A golden horizon appears in the distance, shining brightly along side what appears to be stars, each shimmering enough to twinkle with excitement through the ever-increasing light. Day and night merge into one, with the full light of the sun, moon, and stars alike taking equal parts in a now blue and bright sky. This spectacle of beauty and splendor frames the destination of this rare sight; a single platform set above a sparkling, orange sea that spans the infinity where the lost abyss once was. Like an island in the middle of a dream, the other-worldly island shines like the day with all of the mystery of the night. And on this island is the goal of this trip; a set of tall, golden gates adorned with pine garland and holly set dead in the center, leading to seemingly nowhere. However, they bring with them an undeniable anticipation and excitement. Something lies beyond these gates... something amazing!
Welcome to the Gates of Fortune; the center of hopes and dreams! Within this very special topic, you will be given the opportunity to gain prizes both rare and spectacular. Just be mindful of the rules:
Any Navi is welcome here, even those not yet approved or fully created, but a maximum of one Navi per person may be used. The Gates of Fortune happen outside of normal story, so even a Navi otherwise active may freely join!
Posts for the gates of fortune will be made every other day once the event begins. Individuals who fail to post in time will forfeit the ability to make that turn. Don't worry too much, though. Prizes will still be retained, and even those with a single post will still be rewarded!
Rewards gained here may not be added to your Navi stats until the event ends. If you're not careful, it's possible to lose some of your prizes!
You may be asked questions or given choices. Failure to answer within the parameters given will result in failure of whatever task was posed, and may enact penalties.
RP here matters, and is mandatory! You are encouraged to think outside the box and try to see that which may not be stated.
Story version is uniform for all Navis that enter the gates. A V20 and a V1 stand on equal footing.
Additional rules and outlines will be posted when the gates of fortune open, so be ready!
To register, just RP your Navi entering the area and waiting for the gates to open. Free RP before the gates open is welcomed, and may very well be rewarded!
Registration closes on Monday, December 18. The event will continue until Christmas Day, or possibly even Newyears if specific goals are met. Note that all rewards and events will be scripted before the gates open, so the prizes for each scripted action will be pre-determined. The variable is that it's entirely up to you which actions you take. Rewards may also be given beyond scripted rewards for exceptional RP actions as I see fit.
Now, prepare for the opening of the gates, and be watch as great things happen!

Asymptote stomps his way to outside the gate, looking up and down as he waits for the gates to open

Rook woke up just outside the gates with no idea how he got there. Seeing the other navi, he walked over to them. "Where are we? This doesn't exactly look like element city."

Asymptote turned to the other navi and simply shrugged his shoulders. not a clue. All I can remember was being in ACDC's network and then I was here. I just got some voice in the back of my head telling me to wait for the gates to open and...then nothing.

*Amidst all the confusion, a boy in loose clothes could be heard walking close to the gates. As he walked, one could hear the loud clanging of metal on metal as a rapier was banging off the rungs of the metal fence. The boy seemed....off, as he didnt really take notice of the other people, content with gently gnawing on the pommel of his weapon as he dragged it along. Reaching the entrance, the boy knocked only once before sitting down, sword in mouth.*

Baxter We find the strangest things when we go out for walks huh bud? An curious and optimistic voice muttered aloud.
A youthful looking navi in attire befitting its programmed age saunters up the walkway, shooting a glance at each other navi present. His loose blue parachute pants covering the black boots beneath and held up by a large black belt with gold buckle. He wears a black t-shirt under a blue sleeveless vest and to literally top off the ensemble a sideways blue baseball cap that reads "Let's Go!" in bright red with purple border.
Sliding beside him is a 3ft tall Candevil virus, With waxy cream skin and darkened plates, red ember eyes, and bulky arms, It moves somehow without motion, yet with grace.
What's with the door...? Baxter questions, stopping 10 paces from the radiant barricade that apparently bars these people.

Nightshade was somewhat happier today. His eyes widened at the sight of the huge golden gate appearing before him. "So, this is the famous Gates of Fortune everyone seemes to be talking about! Thanks for bringing me here big sis! And thank you for the new outfit too! Although...maybe it's a little too flashy compared to my normal grey armor."
The little cat navi held himself steady on Thrash's back as the huge Daemon slumbered forward on all fours as usual, with her long tail wrapped around his waist to ensure he would not fall off her smooth shell. Nightshade fiddled around with his new open toed boots. With his new armor pieces colored in a rather vibrant yellow, with light blue inserts and black lightning shaped designs the new outfit was much more of an attention catcher than the navi's usually grey and black clothes.
Once arrived, he hopped off, still keeping himself relatively glued to his big sister, wagging his tail at her as it was common thing for him to do while near the hulking beast. The juuka would then look around at all the other navis gathered there, noticing a couple of familiar and new faces.
"Wow. It sure is crowded."

StrifeMan.EXE
Amidst the beauty, the resplendence, the magnitude of all things considered holy, a single tear opened. A little crack, a void of malevolent darkness, churning and spinning violently, sputtering out whisps of crimson energy . . . and sometimes blood.
What looked like ethereal limbs, like shifting shadows, reached from the edges of the void of energy into the void itself, as though it were trying to pull itself inside out. The limbs suddenly heaved, and, all at once, a shape took form around the void; the limbs disappeared as he formed, his armored legs wavering as he was pulled from within his own inner prison.
StrifeMan looked around, holding up a hand to shroud his eyes from the intense light, as the veil of shadows his body emitted slowly picked up. Even the veil of shadows he carried with him wasn't strong enough to absorb this light, though; the gates, the bright light, the crowd of people . . . he'd been here, before.
"It's beautiful! . . . I hate it." He coughed and wheezed, violently sputtering out blood as multiple wounds across his body opened up simultaneously, almost like an afterthought to his arrival. At his chest, the very same void that he had been pulled from pulsated and churned, like a large hole at his core where his heart should be.

<Rrrrrr...>
Just why did Thrash agree to this nonsense in the first place? The first week in a new frame, in the aftermath of what had apparently spiraled into a global disaster state, and THIS is how she chose to spend that time? How did Nightshade even know where this place was? They've literally just been wandering through the dark corridors of... *where?* The Daemon doesn't even remember where the route leading to this crowded courtyard even started, only that they've been traveling for literally hours. What the hell even is this? You'd think it was some kind of just-opened amusement park, the way Nightshade was begging to go... and as usual, the 'elder sister' has been dragged along for the ride.
<Very crowded, indeed. There will likely be a line, knowing our luck...>
There IS a certain charm to the area, Thrash is willing to admit now that she's seeing... whatever this is with her own eyes. The brilliant orange-gold glow of the perpetual twilight casts a lustrous shine upon the polished white surface of the Delphyne Unit's armored carapace. Beautiful, just bright enough to not be irritating to stare at... and even the elder Daemon finds herself curious as to just what lies on the other side of those golden gates. Even if it does raise the question of just what Nightshade thought was here, or HOW either of them knew in the first place. It was just one of those things, perhaps...

Merrill appears at the gate, standing quietly.

Krystania has joined the Brawl
The woman's footsteps were light and airy, despite the armored gear she wore. Each step was that of a leaf dancing on the wind, her long black ponytail cascading down her back doing a little hop, skip and a jump as her steps carried her through the darkness. She was...curious as to where she even was. She had happened to find herself mistakenly in the wrong part of town. A few steps later and she had found herself in darkness and now...she was here. Wherever here was.
The bridge manifested before her, like an old friend welcoming her. The woman, despite herself, gave the bridge itself a small curtsy. "A pleasure," she spoke, to mostly no one in particular as he continued to advance now, drawn in like a moth to a falme, curiosity getting the better of her. She didn't know where this going, but she wanted to know. The Net was a wonderful and mysterious place, and no matter where she seemed to find herself, there was always something interesting going on.
As she came closer, her eyes widened a bit as she saw the small gathering of Navi standing just outside of what looked to be gigantic gates. She paused for a moment as she recognized the brutish Navi from the spar they'd had some days ago. "Asymptote, yes?" she asked, moving with flittering movements between the others in the small crowd before coming to a stop beside the giant. "I thought that was you. It is wonderful to see a friendly face here," she beamed, the smile nearly as bright as the gates themselves before she turned back to look at them.
She lifted a hand, aiming to place it against the gate, mostly out of a child-like curiosity.

Asymptote perked up at the voice behind him, slowly turning to see the source. It was indeed Krystania from the days before now. He practically smiled behind his mask.
Krystania, yes. I remember you. Yes, it was a great fight we had. The roar of the crowd towards the end was certainly memorable. He responded in turn, his eyes turning towards the crowd of navis before them. It is indeed. I just hope things remain somewhat civil when the gates open. Gods only knows what we'll have to do after they do. He said simply, stretching out in front of the gate. Something told him he'd be having one hell of a time when the gates did open.

The boy was taken off-guard by the appearance of so many other newcomers. He stayed curled up by his rapier, gnawing on his pommel. Staring at Strifeman inquisitively, the boy got up, walking along, having his weapon bounce along the ground, he looked up at the hole in Strifeman's chest, before nonchalantly poking around and swiping out a bit of liquid, before touching his finger and thumb together. As he did so, he looked at the viscous fluid sticking to him and almost cooed a small laugh as he stood, fixated on his fingers before sitting back down, looking at the gate, comfortably chewing on his pommel, gently rocking side-to-side.

Nightshade looked at all the other navis around him. The gates were about to open and there was no one of the guys he was used to see as his opposition. From what it seemed, his rival wouldn't come...nor the guy he kinda-ish looked up to.
For the moment, the cat looking juuka would wiggle himself into his big sister's gras and happily rest within the safety of her lap, wondering if anyone around there had the ability to sense his rather...exotic and one of a kind powers. If that was the case...bye bye element of surprise...welcome fear factor.

Another navi arrived at the scene, she had fuchsia-colored hair tied into a singular ponytail, rather than her typical double knotted one, and walked nonchalantly towards the group of navis. She couldn't recall how she arrived to this exact location but didn't bother putting too much thought figuring out her whereabouts. Mostly because her eyes were distracted from the appearance of the majestic gates, it was indeed something to behold, yet she could not help but wonder what lies beyond those gates. She continued to get closer towards the group that formed outside, but decided to sit on the ground before reaching any further to the point of speaking range from the rest. A Persian Crane then materialized onto her left hand, to which she started to twirl around impatiently observing the gates waiting for some excitement.
