Instigating Character/Incident: Zatanna (somewhat)/A few Misplaced potion bottles leading to a whole lot of unintended mischeif...
Event Outline: MIS-SPELL REDUX: Early in the morning, Zatanna awaits the arrival of a few potion ingredients. She specially ordered these from one of the local shops a week back, and plans on using them later in the month. However, what she doesn't realize right away is that...there's been a major mixup, and her four potion bottles--which have yet to be fully stabilized--were accidentally switched out with several herbal tea flavorings of similar color and bottle design.
Each of these "flavorings" will be delivered to four separate tea shops, each in a different sector, to later be determined through trial and error. Any character who drinks tea flavored from one of these bottles will experience one of the following effects:
(1) ALIGNMENT SWITCH - (can be either elemental in nature or simply good/evil)
(2) NEGATION OF THE TRANSLATION MATRIX - an aura around the character means that they will suddenly understand ONLY the languages they already speak; characters who speak to them, either in person or over the network, will ONLY Hear the language being spoken by that character.
(3) TRANSFORMATION - characters can either be transformed to younger/older versions of themselves, OR can be transformed into any version of any animal (real or mythological).
(4) PERSONALITY FRACTURING - characters will be split into two or more "versions" of themselves. Can either be split into a "good" self/"bad" self, or even be split into multiple personalities based on individualized emotions. The more tea the character drinks, the more times they will be split. This one, in particular, has the added bonus of not being able to be fixed until all versions are back in the same place.
In addition, since this time the cultprit won't be immediately identified or known, there could be an element of mystery as people try to figure out what the heck is happening and why this is all going on. The potions could take effect anywhere from five minutes to half an hour after initial ingestion, deepening the mystery.
Areas Affected: The entire city of Keelai. However, because of the semi-random nature of the event, it could be entirely OPT-IN, and characters who don't want to be affected can simply not come across any of the potions.
Long-Term Impact: I suppose that would depend upon what, precisely, ends up played out with the potions, which means that such aftermaths would be mainly player-driven. Zatanna, of course, will try to keep a better eye on those potion bottles in the future once she figures out the cause of all this. And use a better courier service.
Suggested Duration & Dates: I was thinking having this be in Mid to Late July, since August appears to be a busy month for myself & some other players. It would probably last about a week, give or take.
