EVENT | ALL HALLOWED REDUX - RITUALISM
Characters: Any affected by the ghosting and Losses, their sponsors and nosy observers anyone else who feels like tagging along.
Date: January 11-12
Location: Keeliai
Situation: A moonlight ritual designed to restore lost balance and return Losses and unwanted gains back to a neutral state.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.
The kedan messengers who had originally brought the information to the various Foreigners who'd been affected will return to those same suites on Friday evening. They will let them know to arrive with their sponsors at a quiet field area just to the south of Palace grounds on Saturday at sundown so that the "cleansing" can begin. They don't need to bring anything to aid in the ritual itself though it's advised that they might consider having a spare change of clothes on hand.
The next evening is bright and clear as though the weather itself wishes success upon this strange endeavor. The Foreigners making their way to the field as instructed by their kedan guides will find a large area cleared of snow, right down to the grass and dozens of round pools constructed of what appear to be interlocking stone blocks, so carefully and precisely arranged that they're able to hold water without leaking despite not using any standard mortar or sealant. Each pool stands about three feet tall and is filled three quarters of the way full of water which shimmers in the moonlight, bearing a very similar sheen that people will remember from the iridescent paint.
Does this bode well? Only time will tell.
OOC Information
See the OOC plotting post for event details and this post for assorted subheaders outlining various parts of the plot. If your character wants to learn more about the rituals or ask Milyn questions, she will be tagging in the Case Studies thread. Otherwise, feel free to use general affected kedan and their respective sponsors under normal rules for players writing NPC interactions. Feel free to start your own thread header if none suit, or make your own logs for various threadings... this is just for a central post for the event. Any questions can be directed HERE. Thank you!

Pre-Ritual Mingling
Despite this, the general atmosphere of the gathering is upbeat. This is a time of renewal for the kedan and they're pleasant enough to engage in for conversations while they wait for moonrise, is explained. Nothing will happen until the moon reaches its peak.
Zatanna
Granted, Zatanna didn't have the greatest history when it came to kedan magics. This was different, though. They were being guided by a local. Someone who knew what they were doing. And she had her friends with her. Not just as sponsors, but for her to sponsor and to share in this rather unique experience. Even the sight of the (temporarily) misshapen kedan wasn't enough to sway her.
If anything, uncertainties aside, she was actually kind of excited.
Which would be evident by the first signs of a genuine smile on her face she'd shown in days.
Frank, OTA
So have an extremely pale-looking kid trying his best not to stare at the Kedan, try being the keyword. Will he end up with half a bull's body one day? Or a disfigured eel-like arm if he isn't careful?
