PLOT EVENT: BREAKTHROUGH

[plungeintofire]

THIS IS A HORROR EVENT. IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CHARACTER INVOLVED, YOU MAY CONSIDER HAVING THEM HANG OUT IN NOVA CITY, ATTLETON, OR FAYREN FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT. EVERGLADE AND GENESSIA WILL NOT BE SAFE.

As you can see on the main community where the open log for the event exists, Everglade has been breached! So what all is happening now, how do we fix this, and what happens if your character does x, y, and z? Let's get started.

The Everglade barrier field has been breached. There's basically a 99% chance that your character won't be able to get through it through the cracks EVEN if they can fly up there as the open areas are small enough that nothing with a solid body can get through. If they widen them, then it'll allow the spirits to get through and basically scoop your character's emotions and morality right out of them the second the flood starts. So escaping is an absolutely terrible idea. If your character is dumb enough to do it anyway, contact a moderator so that we can make an NPC post about what happens in response.

Yes that's right, I said emotions and morality. If your character gets caught, these spirits will suck your character's emotions and ability to differentiate between right and wrong out until they're an empty shell of themselves. It's basically what happens if your character touches the barrier, except they'll be awake the entire time and they won't leave anything left. You will have the option to play your character at that point basically as a soulless husk attempting to find the one thing it lacks: emotion.

How exactly do characters who have been caught by the spirits act?
They may continue to try to do typical things that your character would do at first, but soon find that they can't actually feel anything while they do it. They can't feel anything, they just feel empty. They feel a need, and they need to find a way to fulfill it. How they start trying to fulfill that intense emptiness and need for more will be up to you, but because they don't have their emotions, they may go straight to things that ignore morals, like trying to feel sadness by hurting someone or trying to eat everything around to try to fill that emptiness. Eventually, the first thing they'll start to feel is an empathic understanding of what the spirits from outside are doing. They can get 'feelings' from other people, they just have to figure out how to get them out. With that in mind, your character may go any level of horror within their capabilities to try to steal the emotions from other characters who haven't had their emotions stolen.

How do we save those who are caught?
There are a couple of ways to 'fix' someone who has had their emotions leeched out of them. However, be aware that there will be no IC explanation for how to do this, so characters may need to try different things on their own. Here are the things that will work, however:

1. The most tragic is to kill the character. Any character deaths during this event will still hold the same consequences as a normal death and they will need to give up something to come back. When they come back, their emotions and moral compass will be restored.

2. THANKFULLY there's another way to fix them. In fact there are two. This way is the tamest way, which will work for just about anyone. An affected character needs to be pushed into the waters of the Bay by someone who isn't affected. The waters of the Bay will take half of the emotions from the unaffected character and transfer them to the emotionless character. They will both feel somewhat empty, but they will both still be able to feel and will be able to recover completely with time. Both characters will feel incredibly drained and may have difficult using any powers they may have for about a week. The character who had given the emotions may accidentally transmit any specific strong feelings they have about something or someone to the receiving character. So if Character A is deeply in love with Character B, and character C receives Character A's emotions, character C will experience feelings for character B for some time. The same thing can happen with loathing, fear, or any other strong emotion about someone or something.

3. The last way can only be done by characters with deep emotional bonds of love. Family, best friends, lovers, or other unspecified but incredibly deep relationships qualify. If an affected character feels true love of some kind for someone, that person and only that person can bring them back without using one of the other two methods. If the loved person is put in either mortal peril OR is cornered by the affected person who loves them and they have a love deep enough that it could be considered practically ingrained in their soul, then they can be appealed to and reached. This method will cause the affected person to fall unconscious, but still be alive and take an hour or two to recover by using that deep connection to trigger a slow rebuild of their emotions. While they still won't feel very much after waking up, that present emotion will keep them sane and allow them to recover like they were healing from an illness, rather than being completely scooped out. There is, however, one caveat to this method:

If the characters have not bonded in game, it will not work completely and the character will revert back to emotionless after a couple of hours.

There is a reason for that, but it'll reveal itself in time. This means that even if two characters are castmates and had a relationship in their series, it will not hold completely unless they have solidified or deepened that bond while in game.

Those three ways are typically the only three ways to recover characters emotions! If you don't want your character to go through this, you should probably have them somehow avoid getting caught by any of the empty spirits. The effects of this will not simply "wear off" so be sure to find a way to fix your character at some point if you get them caught.

Can we fight the empty spirits and how do we get rid of them?
Yes, you can fight them. They vary in strength. Some can be fought by regular weapons and others are powerful enough that even those with superpowers may find themselves being backed into a corner. Those with eyes and more shape are much more powerful than those without. Throughout the duration of the event, there are a couple with faces who may be tagging actual posts/log threads. If you absolutely do not want your character to encounter one any of these NPCs, please note it in the subject line of any event posts. Otherwise, all non-descript spirits can be played by anyone in the game. Only the mod-run NPC spirits will have the ability to communicate with player characters.

As they are spirits, most weapons won't actually kill them, it will just ward them off and force them to retreat. Magic will be necessary to capture them. Everglade's magic shop has a number of stones and seals the can be used by anyone if used appropriately, though those more adept with magic will be able to seal more powerful ones. Characters who canonly have experience with exorcism or sealing will be able to do this much more easily and may still use their canon methods for doing this. The spirits can be destroyed entirely by someone with soul/spirit-based powers or weaponry. Spirits who are captured will be possibly to keep even after the end of the event. Powerful spirits who are NPCed and captured may speak to their captors in the future, but please keep it IC as to what your character would do with captured spirits.

How do we fix the barrier to stop letting the spirits in through Everglade? How do we keep them from breaking Genessia's barrier field?
There are two spirits that were already within the cities of Genessia and Everglade who can help with this. These spirits are not Player characters need to find them. They are hidden throughout the two cities and throughout the event, if your character goes somewhere specific you can list that location in reply to THIS COMMENT (DAY 2). Both spirits have been found! Thank you for your participation. Characters who found the spirits will be given information to further along the plot and are welcome to spread it as they see fit. The chance to get Everglade's Key Pendant will be presented and decided after both parties are informed ICly of the situation.

If your character goes to the correct location, they have a chance to get a thread with a character. Multiple characters may post a location listing in the thread and each night at 12-midnight PST, any character with the location will be RNG'd to see if they encounter the spirit. Basically, if five characters sign up to say they visited "the bridge in Everglade," then each character will be given a number 1-5, then using a random number generator, the character whose number is selected will get the thread. IF your character is with more than one person, groups may enter together as one entry for the location. One spirit is in each archway. You may enter your character or your character's group for up to two locations per drawing.

Once both spirits have been located, they will give instructions about how to seal the barrier ICly. These spirits cannot move anywhere beyond the area they are in, though they will not always be present upon visiting in the future.

Are subarchways safe? Are the other archways safe?
Subarchways connected to Everglade are not safe. Fayren, Attleton, and Nova City are safe from this event as the focus is on Everglade and Genessia.

Anything else important to know?
The spirits do have a psychic presence, so if you play a telepath and they try to read their thoughts, your character will be rushed by an empty void like a black hole taking away any sense of emotions and be able to feel that all these things want is an intense need to steal sentient emotions. There's a similar feeling to a lesser extent if they try to read a character who has had their emotions drained, though the deep connections (option 3 for saving) may be sensed if this is the case, so telepathic characters may possess the ability to figure out that third option for saving affected characters.

Whoever ends up fixing the barrier in Everglade will be able to get ahold of the Everglade Key Pendant for the new archway in Genessia.

If no one finds the Genessian and Evergladite spirits within a 7 day period, the Genessian barrier will break open and something completely different might happen with the plot than if the residents of Genessia manage to save the day. The fate of Genessia rests in your hands, but I can guarantee you not saving Genessia will not be a happy ending for anyone.

HAVE QUESTIONS? REPLY HERE. The rest of this post may be used for plotting and communication during the event!

QUESTIONS

[plungeintofire]

Reply here with any questions you have so that a moderator can reply to it ASAP!

Re: QUESTIONS

[youfool]

Any particular reason our characters have to suspect the existence of the spirits that know how to fix everything? Do we need an IC reason for them to search?

SPIRIT SEARCH - DAY 1

[plungeintofire]

Do you want your character to find one of the spirits? If so, reply to this comment with up to two locations per day. If more than one character or group selects the same location and it is the correct location, an RNG will be performed to see which character or group is able to find the spirit.

This thread will be frozen at 11:59pm PST tomorrow and a new day's thread will be posted. The post will be updated with the next day's link until both spirits are located OR 7 days have passed.

You must be willing to play out a thread in order to participate in the search for the spirit. If you do not OOCly want to do this, do not submit your character to find the spirit. Thank you!

Re: SPIRIT SEARCH - DAY 1

[celestial_wizard]

Checking out the Shrine in Genessia~!

(whoops) Specifically the Exterior first, and then the interior of the shrine. XD;;

(does that count as two places or one)

Schnee Company Plotting!

[whiteas]

Weiss plans on trying to get all capable staff from Schnee Company to attempt to escort people safely out of Genessia and Everglade to the Nova City Branch, since Nova City is safe. The NC Branch will act as an impromptu refugee camp for anyone they rescue to stay until it this crisis is solved.

Anyone from Schnee Co. who doesn't want to be involved in this, please just assume your character got separated in the crisis to do whatever they do. Or have them get caught be a empty spirit if that's your jam. 8D Or have them get caught then infiltrate Schnee ranks and ruin everything. If you would like to have them act as a functional unit, then reply here.

Armin will be managing the refugee camp, Weiss will be leading Schnee Co. people who are capable of helping in Genessia and Everglade. She is totally going to bust out bluetooth headsets for everyone who is with them so that they can have hands-free communication in a fight if they need it.

If your character needs a rescue, reply here please so we can plot someone from Schnee Co. coming to get them!

Re: Schnee Company Plotting!

[innocent_royal]

I don't know what I'm doing, but I have a youngling who would want to get out of Genessia city. ^-^

Open Plotting for Weiss, Emerald, Liv, and Yui

[whiteas]

I'm throwing all of my characters into this event! I'm pretty flexible with most of my characters at this point except for what Weiss will be doing with Schnee Co. (see here), so anything you want to plot with me LETS WORK SOMETHING OUT.

If you want to be in a group with any of my characters for the good spirit finding stuff, you have to pick the location so that we're not cheating since I know the answers.

Otherwise, here's what I've got for my characters to do so far:

Emerald: If she knows someone or someone sees her, she'll help them. She's kind of a badass she has to be, she's part of the main villain team so if you want to team up/kick some ass, she'll probably act loyal until the second Cinder tells her anything else or asks her to come or basically anything. Basically she's Cinder's lil puppy ok so don't expect actual loyalty if it comes between doing anything Cinder wants and your character BUT UNTIL CINDER SAYS sure whatever she'll be a good girl.

Liv: Yeah the second Liv gets cornered she's going to end up going full-on zombie mode. I'd prefer it if only one or two people got to see this at most, but she always goes into it when she's in danger. I dooon't think she's going to get zapped, but I'm open to the idea if anyone wants to have to shoot a zombie in the head because without Liv doing emotional Liv things, she'd probably just end up in full-time full on zombie mode.

Weiss: Schnee Co. escorting for the first couple days and just being generally badass in fights and such, buuut she's also going to get cornered at some point because lol stamina, broken bluetooth, get turnt, and Zuko's going to save her with the power of twu wuv. I'm fantastic at summarizing. Beyond that, I'm open to anything between or after.

Yui: Going with Anubis to search for Loki, Takeru, and Dionysus! Or rather, she's going and Anubis is following her bc she's an idiot with a sword and zero superpowers but people care about her a lot and she cares about them too. She absolutely will try to help people out if she sees them, though she'll likely only be able to fight lower-level spirits off. The Godtourage can take care of the rest as she collects them??

[nowhere]

it's the best summarizing in the history of summarizing

Open plotting for Pidonus

[have_hat_will_travel]

Pidonus here is a decent Bard and can magic up weapons around her, which might help with weakening spirits. That said, her first impulse is going to be to flee and get to Nova...

... Unless someone drags her into things. One of her few friends getting drained would probably drive her to save them - especially if she found out about the waters of the bay, since she doesn't likely have strong enough connections with people to save them legitimately yet.

Or perhaps someone would care to save her when she does something stupid when she gets drained, instead? I'm open to ideas.

Patrollin' da streetz

[youfool]

Ted's become Genessia's Lois Lane by this point, so he'll be trying to do what he can to protect Everglade from whatever the hell. Problem is, he needs a fair bit of protection himself.

So, if your character wants to save a blonde idiot, there's never been a better time. Old standbys are welcome (Koishi, Sun Wukong, MewtwoJustice, Yuuki Cross, David Haller, Betelgeuse), but new CR would be hella sweet too. Come on, you know you want a spot on his spiffy CR chart.

Re: Patrollin' da streetz

[beautifulmidboss]

So does Ted want to see what Midboss is like when he actually acts like a demon should...? :D

Plotting for my characters

[the_heroine]

Jean will be working as part of Schnee Co., so most of his plotting will be done in the above Schnee Co. Plotting comment.

Mikoshiba will probably try to avoid the spirits, but if someone he knows ends up in trouble or he runs into it, he'd feel obligated to help and try his best to. I'm up for exposing him to that, whether it means coming across someone already drained, or encountering the spirits, if anyone is interested.

Anubis will know something is incredibly wrong and probably be hiding, unless it impacts anyone he knows personally.

[graduations]

If Yui and Anubis are still living together, she'll be hiding with him unless she can't get in contact with Loki, Dionysus, or Takeru. At which point she will probably go do the stupid thing to try to find them.

[beautifulmidboss]

Midboss will be affected - his natural response on hearing the crisis will be to charge in to try and stop it, and potentially try to use his power to seal the crack without any idea what he's doing. This will lead to him getting overwhelmed by spirits and getting his emotions drained. Whilst in this state, he'll challenge everyone to fight him in the arena, hoping that battle will make the feelings of emptiness go away. Haven't thought much beyond that, so if anyone wants to plot, that'd be cool :) If anyone wants their character killed by him outside the arena, please let me know! Likewise, if killing Midboss is more your jam, I'm open to stopping him that way.

Zelos has been victim to a lot of events lately, so he'll be unaffected unless it's to save someone close to him (this is a list of about 3 people). Otherwise, he'll mostly be avoiding the problem like the plague and finding somewhere for him, Ishtar and Fai to camp that isn't Everglade or Genessia. Clearly it's someone else's problem. Plotting is totally welcome! If you want to drag him into saving people, that's cool too.

Izanami won't be happy people are invading Everglade and its attached Archways (Castlevania peeps, how're we handling this?), so she'll be trying to fight off the spirits. She's going to fare better than Midboss, however she'll probably be using her Godly powers (and summoning minor Shadows if the mods are fine with that) to do it - so you want to catch her in the act that's totally cool. Any other plotting is totally welcome too~

[forever_prince]

Laharl will be more than happy to put Mid-Boss down in the arena. As far as the Castlevania folks, Dracula will have his minions in full force even transferring some of the stronger folk from the Inverted Castle to the main courtyard to handle the defense so he can see about binding one of the spirits to his will and getting a foothold over the others. The rest of the denizens will be free to either explore and experiment or help with the defense, with the one order to not approach the barrier.

[swordprincess]

Karla...won't be affected, but her instinct will be to fight these spirit things. However, while her physical strength may surpass the normal human limit, she doesn't have any "super powers." So she'd eventually get overwhelmed, particularly by the stronger ones.

Anyone care to give her some assistance?

[monkeystowaway]

David: Clearly going to help out, there is no question about that. He'll be fighting and helping to get people out and teaming up with others where appropriate.

Sun: Was here the last time weirdness went on, so he'll be jumping in to help too. He might get affected one of the days.

Grimmjow: Yep. Grimmjow is going to be fighting because...fighting. He wants to kill or at least try to kill some things. He's technically a spirit himself.

Irvine: Will be jumping into the fray too to help out. He'll be creeped out by the ongoings back he can't sit back and not help.

Most every one of my guys are down for team-ups and plotting.

[skilledwithwords]

Hello~!

I'd love for Irvine and Levy to meet up. If you're up for it. Right now I have her around the Library and park area because BOOKS! but she's going to be helping out where she can and trying to figure out what's going on.

[starlight_breaker]

Anna: ... whoooooooooooooooooooooooo wants to kill a princess, who accidentally becomes an empty shell? Yes, I seriously want this to happen, she gets no other options from me.

Cinder: is in on this somehow. I need to figure out how, but damn if she's not even more interested in these after seeing what they can do. Might cause some chaos? Was she supposed to be helpful to the good side? Sorry, no.

Katara: will be fighting them with water and helping people in any way she can. Maybe she can like... help someone on option 2 for rescuing too?? Or then she can become an empty shell and you can help her with option 2, whichever works for me.

Nanoha: will be fighting with Raising Heart and she actually has a thing called Sealing Mode in her weapon too, because guess whose first series was all about sealing some magical stuff? Insanely strong long range magical attacks and ability to fly etc. She can also help with rescuing anyone with option 2!

Petra: needs to do something useful (like be heroically helping people when it happens as Thomas and me said on plurk) before she becomes an empty shell too! Please take her to Levi after it, he will save her with option 3 as they've become lovers here. Oh, is your option to keep Levi away from seeing her like this? Well, we can play that too but seriously get her to the man of her life at some point, sooner or later is all fine by me.

Others will be staying out, and I'm open to any ideas for those mentioned on this comment! o/

[divineliar]

Yes. Bring Levi to Petra/Petra to Levi. It's for the best of everyone.

Open Plotting

[skilledwithwords]

Both of my characters are new so...

Sakura: Is going to most likely be with Fai and I've been told that Fai doesn't want her to get hurt so they will be out of danger, more or less, unless someone has something they want to do in mind with my cute little princess here.

Levy: Is all about doing things. She wants to protect people and will use her magic to do so. She doesn't care who you are because she will help you. She doesn't have much CR besides canon CR so I don't have plans for her to be affected unless it's plotted out. She will happily save someone, most likely unknowingly, but she's smart and might be able to figure out what all is going on. Either way she's going to look into places and be around for anyone who wants to get new CR with her or interact with her more!

Open Plotting for Wendy!

[vernier]

Being the kind person she is, Wendy will help anyone, regardless whether she knows them. She excels in healing and supportive magic (such as boosting targets' damage output/defense/speed, protecting against body anomalies (e.g., binds), etc.), so if anyone needs or wants to have a healer around, she'll gladly be there to assist! Additionally, Wendy can use powerful offensive spells (all wind/air-based), can eat air to restore her energy, and has enhanced senses, so she can help fight and possibly detect enemies.

If she isn't assisting others in battle or healing those who have been wounded, Wendy will be searching for the two spirits. Since she's still fairly new and isn't close to anyone (aside from most her castmates), she likely won't be affected; however, I'm up for changing this so long as it's plotted out.

Plotting with Levi, Loki and Yosuke

[divineliar]

The characters involved for me in this event are

Levi (up with the Schnee company plotting) who's helping people as part of the Company personnel.

Loki who... just got access to his god powers, but will only fight if the people he knows are in danger. Thought since he got his canon update in Genessia, he kind of... has to get through there first. Whoops. Though I want him to pull through, so he's fine.

Yosuke unfortunately lives in Genessia, and while he's a Persona user and could protect himself, I kind of want him to get in trouble when he's trying to help with the evacuating because I'm mean. So an emotionless husk, waiting to be saved.

[lovesopendoors]

Okay, what if I had an idea that's sort of related to that thing with Petra too? Because he'd see what happens to the one, who get emotionless during this and possibly also sees the end result, that he definitely doesn't want to happen to his lover again!!

Totally handwaved CR that Levi knows Anna since the princess has been friends with Armin ever since she got here... So he would have at least seen him multiple times by now even if they've never spoken. But he'd know her normal personality by now anyway, no one's safe from hearing all her cheerful rambling when she's in the house area

Emotionless Shell!Anna & Levi meet during this - idek, maybe he sees her and comes to take her to some safe place because it's also become clear that Anna is not really a fighter etc. She gets one of his swords somehow, we'll just assume that she either knows how to plug it in or he has one/pair ready... and she tries to attack him with it. |: And then it can go from there somehow, but he won't have to kill her even because he needs to go help Pascal or someone else, idek. Follow your orders from Weiss / the company, Levi, life is all about choices you either regret or don't regret. But he can come find her afterwards, just to find out that she's dead because someone else didn't have a problem killing her... Godspeed with finding Petra before the same happens to her, oops.

[behindthefakesmile]

Right, here's a list of who I have that lives in either Everglade or Genessia and what I will be planning:

Yuna - Since it's her last days as Guardian she will be going all out in making sure the people of Everglade get the hell out, putting herself in the way if she has to. Not sure how doing all of that will turn out though.

Fai - Will drag Sakura and maybe others he knows if they want to be dragged off towards Nova City for sight seeing and cafe hunting.

Chihiro - Unsure as to what will be going on with Chihiro. I guess he'll just hide himself away in his apartment.

Yuuki - Won't do much. Kaname left her all alone and that's hit her rather hard.

Hikari - Probably do the same as Chihiro I think.

Yukiko - Helping people out when needed, healing that type of thing. Will Yosuke sit when he comes a emotionless zombie and try to help him.

Yugi - No idea. he wouldn't have a single clue as to what to do. (He can't really do anything. Summoning holograms will do nothing.])

[mintchip]

Em here will help Yugi get to a safe place if you want. She's good in a fight. She's grab Hikari but it looks like you're hiding her out already so. Maybe he can summon a hologram as a distraction!

Plotting~!

[kienzankriller]

Totally forgot to make a comment with my plans so far.

Gamagori will be holed up in the Academy, taking in refugees and kicking ass in full Shackle Regalia, unless otherwise contacted by Satsuki.

Dracula will be attempting to kill and devour the spirits to unsuccessfully bend them to his will. At the very least he'll get some minor temporary power buff, should he succeed in eating one.

Laharl will be wandering around, killing any spirit he comes in contact with, ultimately culminating in a showdown with Mid-Boss.

Krillin will be on rescue duty, so if anyone needs saving from something lemme know!

Mewtwo will be HELLA unsettled, but will likely be accompanying Koishi around on Satori's orders to keep the Koiball from freaking out and going full-on Eldritch abomination mode.

Re: Plotting~!

[senpaisprince]

So did you want to use Spirit to kill Midboss?

[maybeitsmaybelline]

Both characters can be involved in this event, though I'm slow on tags right now!

Roman:if Cinder has a plan, Roman will go along with it. Otherwise he'll probably be around encouraging emotionless people to do terrible things because hey, maybe it will help! Kindly ignore this video I'm taking, I assure you I have only your best interests at heart! I don't want Roman caught by the spirits, though if any non-effected good guys take objection to him being an enabler, that's fine. Let me know if you want your character to be enabled too.

Pascal: Pascal isn't likely to be involved in the general rescue efforts but she will want to try and study and/or fix the barrier. She won't tear it open further to try and escape, but she will want to get up close and personal to see what the barrier is made of/how it works/if it can be patched, since this is a unique opportunity to do that. I am 50/50 on her getting caught in the process. On one hand, it would be hella fun and I'm especially excited about her sharing emotions with someone for a bit. On the other hand, she's new enough that she hasn't got a lot of CR to care about her, so if this wouldn't work out that's fine too.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Pidonus would definitely be very saddened by Pascal going wrong, since she's... A little protective of the rehead not that she'd admit it. She'd definitely save her if she wound up emotion-drained... Possibly after a fight. XD

Pain's People

[deathsought]

Zeref (and Sayla and Suigintou) will attempt to defend Tartaros' headquarters in Everglade, but they will eventually realize that it's hopeless and retreat, with E.N.D.'s book in tow. They'd most likely head to Fayren after that, but where specifically they go is still unknown.

Clow Reed (and Yuuko) will attempt to help refugees from Everglade and Genessia City.

Hagire Rinichirou will fight the spirits until someone drags him away, or he dies.

Red X will defer to Raven about what to do about the attack, whether they help refugees or fight the spirits.

[forever_prince]

Laharl will be fighting through the streets for fun, so Zeref and gang are more than welcome to stumble onto Laharl. So Laharl can meet Zeref's brand of demon

If they're going to Fayren, they could probably find solace in Chiedren, as I think Satori is going to open it up to people who have been displaced, putting them on collision courses with Mewtwo potentially. /o/

SPIRIT SEARCH - DAY 2

[plungeintofire]

Do you want your character to find one of the spirits? If so, reply to this comment with up to two locations per day. If more than one character or group selects the same location and it is the correct location, an RNG will be performed to see which character or group is able to find the spirit.

This thread will be frozen at 11:59pm PST tomorrow and a new day's thread will be posted. The post will be updated with the next day's link until both spirits are located OR 7 days have passed.

You must be willing to play out a thread in order to participate in the search for the spirit. If you do not OOCly want to do this, do not submit your character to find the spirit. Thank you!

Everglade's spirit has been found. Genessia's spirit is still at large!

Re: SPIRIT SEARCH - DAY 2

[celestial_wizard]

Lucy and Natsu will be checking the shrine again - Interior and Exterior for the first location, and the second location they'll give the Medical Clinic a thorough look through from the first floor, to the garden and the apartment upstairs.

[returnmyrice]

Athrun will be looking to coordinate a defense for Nova City, just to make sure nothing gets through the archway. The supernatural isn't his forte, and he knows it, so he'll stick with what he's good at for now.

Gohan suffers from a pretty severe case of Chronic Hero Syndrome and will be jumping right into the fray. Should anyone need to be rescued, this kid is one of the best people for the job there is.

[thesacredheart]

... Think Vivio and Gohan should end up doing some fighting together during this? Vivio's going to end up being in Everglade by pure coincidence when everything starts to happen so she could probably use a bit of help at some point.

Open plotting for Eas

[switch_over]

Eas is going probably going to try and turn one of the spirits into something bigger and scarier than it already was to cause misfortune.

Except she's not going to be able to control it when she pulls this off?

Anyone want to join in for either a team up or regretting terrible decisions?

[starlight_breaker]

... Eas, why?

No but Cinder actually likes this! If she manages to get pet monsters from this event, she'll definitely keep this in mind for later and wow, if she's not even more interested in getting to know Eas when this happens.

More magical girl cr? Because Nanoha would at least try to shoot it, not that she ever kills anything but her magical abilities are pretty insane (why she keeps limiters inside cities normally!), so I guess she could do it.

Plotting for Sara's dorks

[cuteisawayoflife]

I want Jeb to be affected, definitely. Undecided on Zoisite and Quinn, but Quinn won't come away from this quite the same...

Late planning

[nrgsvr]

Braga - Will fight, figuring that her magic enhanced waraxe can harm the spirits. As a Barbarian, she will be raging. This will probably attract the spirits.

I expect her to be drained, which will actually weaken her. She'll be too fatigued to be much of a threat without emotions.

Mayu - will try and fail at escaping with his housemates. He'll have to save his brother, if he gets drained.

Joruk - he'll just hang out in Fayren, shooting at the spirits on the way.

Late late planning

Adeline will be booking it from her home in Everglade to Nova and will then help as much as she can, being flight capable, in rescue operations.

She's also going to be grouchy as she hates dealing with things she can't just punch to death. Just FYI.

so late for plotting

Bei Dou might let his snakes eat people, for his own entertainment. It will be bloody and painful, and probably more than one snake on one person. He also has the capabilities to destroy spirits so once he gets bored of watching them suck out people's feelings, he'll start doing that.

Dionysus will mostly be looking out for his friends but that's pretty much it.

Alp will be jumping into people's minds as a cat to investigate their odd state, but he's just a cat in the end.

Cheshire will stay out of the way and not even be around for this stuff.
